Buried Alive 01:48
Buried alive, I feel buried alive I'm held beneath the surface by the shackles of my mind Barely alive, I feel barely alive I'm sinking while the tank is going dry Running past events in life And never slowing down Forces me to blur the image and mute the sound Being pulled deeper into gravel As my vision dissipates Since I'm headed down already I might as well accelerate
2.
The last bit of hope Escaped her windpipe Through spaces in your hold You're strengthening your choke With no intention to let go She's begging for her life And you won't listen to her cries Your daughter , your blood Given up to save the honor of your god Reassured by a book your cause is strong It's fucked you're not alone Thinking you're right and she is wrong Goodbye Goodbye Only you deserve that fate Only you deserve to die Condemning her was evil But still it felt so fair False freedom from oppression The danger was still there No remorse or emotion You stared with careless eyes Every night you'll hear your daughter's voice echoing You extinguished her light The guilt that follows will last forever Goodbye And I can't help but wonder When will it happen next Will there be scars? And will there be regret? Will these girls be able to live without a threat? Because we didn't know them doesn't mean that we'll forget

One More Day 04:30
Another page torn from the book again Another tale without an end You were so brave, stood tallest, never to give in But without hope I know it's useless to pretend But the fear of the unknown Turned your fire into stone And to see your sorrow cuts me to the bone If I could take away your pain If I could free you from those chains Even for a moment I'd erase your suffering If I could give you one more day If I could carry all your burden I'd brighten up the road ahead, Your light could fill the skies again Against a foe, cruel and unmerciful Its thirst for blood was strong, insatiable A tragic end unfit for villains, much less friends Your legacy remains as you ascend

Oathbreaker 03:26
Another shift at night He left his boring job to find his wife Sitting on their bathroom tile Needle in her arm, the lock chained tight That's when he said Baby I'm kicking down the door I need to see why you don't love me anymore The tears soaked into the floor He'd have to break the oath he swore But then he closed his eyes and let it slide For one more night Walked in another time Ignorant of clues that now aligned The voice of another guy A ten year alliance pushed aside But still he said Baby I'm kicking down the door I need to see why you don't love me anymore The tears soaked into the floor He'd have to break the oath he swore But then he closed his eyes and let it slide For one more night That's when he said I'm done with kicking down the door I finally see that you don't love me anymore Those years, left wasted on the floor It's time to break the oath he swore And then he opened his eyes and said goodbye For the last time
5.
To The Core 03:40
A sickened feeling in my chest As I gather all that's left Still I dread to have to see your face again Your alibi will vanish into smoke And I'm still waiting till you choke I can't forgive the self you can't seem to contain Understand This sacrifice came along with your plan You can't turn back time Don't expect the stars to align I give up I resign My friend, you crossed the line My closest friend turned out to be greatest enemy What took place I'll never understand

about

"Serenity, at Long Last..." represents the latest and greatest material written by the Mississauga, Ontario melodic punk band, IVS. They started to record these songs around the year 2013 before taking a long hibernation. Six years later, the decision was made to dust off the progress made on this EP, and to complete it, to the (hopeful) excitement of the people! Enjoy!
