Emotive Servitude is the debut single of American Extreme Progressive Metal band APEIRON BOUND, that will appear on their upcoming debut-album 'Multiplicity' which is slated for release on the 26th of August 2022 through Layered Reality Productions.

Between the song and music video, there's been a lot of blood, sweat, and tears poured into this project these last 4 years. The song's theme explores the psychological and emotional manipulation that takes place with those that abuse their authority. Whether utilizing honeyed words promising paradise or a blatant dictatorship, it's all relevant to the discussion of compliance. A cautionary tale of the results that stem from those paving the road to chaos with good intentions. A cautionary tale to study your history or be condemned to repeat it.

Lyrics written by Michael Calza and Andrew Stout

---

I have seen it
A world left in the dark
A shroud of emotion around our thoughts

Tainted
Our sense of rationale
Shallow and degraded

Far, far too weak for us to dwell upon
The ambition was there but now it's gone
Anxiety

Outplayed by lucid rhetoric
We gave up our resolve
Saw logic as irrelevant
And seeing the results

Shelter me
From forsaken verity
Shelter me
Apocryphal entity

Shelter me
From emotional servility
The festering disease
Of instability

It's not a prophecy
Just a lonely matter of fact
Not an allegory
It's a direct attack

Not just a dream
I'm not the only one who sees

Just blessed that a spirit told me
What's in store, mass servility

Mass servility

Shelter me
From accursed prophecy
Shelter me
Society ruled by sentimentality

We'll fall right into despotic whim
If we don't regain control

Senses dulled by masters within
Then lost forevermore

I pray that I'm insane
As I watch us turn into slaves
The pattern revealed, our fates are sealed
Helplessly deranged

(Choir takes place under last lyric section above)

Submission
Our only option
As we await
Our great downfall

What was shown to me
With detailed history
Everyone at least perceives

(Megaphone: Everyone at least perceives)

But still believe in their safety
Self righteous illiteracy

Coffers lined by irrationality
Willingly part of a game
Unwanted knowledge has defaced me
The enemy has no name
