Cuffed in chains with shackled locks Breaking free from prison's box Uniting powers of our kind We'll no longer be confined Sneak by eyes in a cover of cloak Taking down guards in a puff of smoke On a tank we're cruising a ride Following blood where others tried No more limits our future's vast We'll be stars we're free at last Looking ahead we'll have so much fun Freed from bars we've only begun, begun We're breaking free, we're breaking free We're breaking free from our cells We're breaking free, it's just as well We're breaking free, we're breaking free We're breaking free from our cells We're breaking free, it's just as well To let you know Don't tell a soul You'll be surprised Truth be told, truth be told No more limits our future's vast We'll be stars we're free at last Looking ahead we'll have so much fun Freed from bars we've only begun, begun We're breaking free, we're breaking free We're breaking free from our cells We're breaking free, it's just as well We're breaking free, we're breaking free We're breaking free from our cells We're breaking free, it's just as well They're after us, our cover's blown Don't look back, you'll turn to stone Away we go, we fled the cage Notice us when we take stage We gotta get out and set things right Off to space we're taking flight We're breaking free from our cell We'll be fugitives just as well To let you know Don't tell a soul You'll be surprised Truth be told, truth be told We're breaking free, we're breaking free We're breaking free from our cells We're breaking free, it's just as well We're breaking free, we're breaking free We're breaking free from our cells We're breaking free, it's just as well [2x] Cuffed in chains with shackled locks Breaking free from prison's box Uniting powers of our kind We'll no longer be confined Sneak by eyes in a cover of cloak Taking down guards in a puff of smoke On a tank we're cruising a ride Following blood where others tried Don't tell a soul They're after us, our cover's blown Don't tell a soul Don't look back, you'll turn to stone Don't tell a soul No more limits our future's vast Don't tell a soul We'll be stars we're free at last Truth be told

I've got a bullet in my head, blood in my eyes I've got double vision, I'm living a lie Floating in a cloud, you're all obscure I think I see you but I'm not too sure The signs are showing me I might be going blind Are you still there? You don't seem to mind Looking at the past to what has occurred I'll remember life passing by as a blur All of my memories, in the wind they've flown Hundreds of stardoms looking for a new home Nights are timeless, thoughts are mindless Eyes are eyeless, I'm a virus Help me, my eyes are falling back Save me, all I see is black Help me, my thoughts are bleeding red Save me, remove this bullet from my head The signs are showing me I might be going blind Are you still there? You don't seem to mind Looking at the past to what has occurred I'll remember life passing by as a blur At last I see you, yeah Help me, my eyes are falling back Save me, all I see is black Help me, my thoughts are bleeding red Save me, remove this bullet from my head The signs are showing me I might be going blind Are you still there? You don't seem to mind Looking at the past to what has occurred I'll remember life passing by as a blur I've got a bullet in my head I've got a bullet in my head I've got a bullet in my head Blood in my eyes I've got a bullet in my head I've got a bullet in my head I've got a bullet in my head Blood in my eyes Blood in my eyes Blood in my eyes I've blood

Life's too easy when there's nothing to lose So give me a reason that I've got to prove I'll return my heart for the lonely ghost To the only place where I miss you the most Falling through the atmosphere Straight through clouds I disappear Look for me, I won't be here I'll be gone but I'll still be near In and out of towns I'm walking around In footsteps without sound I've got to move on If you find the star you're looking for Don't come back, you won't find more The life you take for granted Is the life I'll take from you Your absence still burns strong I'm not sure if I was wrong For being a fool and letting you go I pretend you still know me so Falling through the atmosphere Straight through clouds I disappear Look for me, I won't be here I'll be gone but I'll still be near Following me around In and out of towns It's time to say goodbye to someone I don't know For the first day of my life I'm truly alone Why do you want to go so far When what I want can only be ours? In and out of towns I'm walking around In footsteps without sound I've got to move on If you find the star you're looking for Don't come back, you won't find more The life you take for granted Is the life I'll take from you Falling through the atmosphere Straight through clouds I disappear Look for me, I won't be here I'll be gone but I'll still be near Life's too easy when there's nothing to lose So give me a reason that I've got to prove I'll return my heart for the lonely ghost To the only place where I miss you the most

The night is cold The moon is dark You sold your soul To have his mark The time has come To see your fate No will to run It's far too late The day is shot The sun is dead You gave your life To me instead You blame your eyes For sins you see You've got no mouth But you've got to scream Meet your maker Meet your maker Meet your maker I'm calling for you There's no way out Time to descend You can't escape This is the end You rolled the dice To a force that's gone You paid the price Now you can't hold on Meet your maker Meet your maker Meet your maker I'm calling for you [x2] Meet your maker Meet your maker Meet your maker I'm calling for you [x2] You'd rather feel pain Than not feel a thing You've got to obey It's the only way

I need you to see me through broken lines Through solid walls and secret signs You can feel my touch Such a clutch I was there but you never knew I was near but you had no clue How much I cared I can't exist having missed Your quiet kiss I was a phantom within your stare An apparition, so unreal Just a shadow in midair In darkness, never revealed I need you to see me through broken lines Through darkened halls showing my kind I need the stars to align To make our lives intertwine I always felt the fear But you had no clue I was always near But you never knew On my last day on this earth I look forward to my future birth Trapped inside without words Looking into eyes of another world I overheard that I don't belong So tell me now, are you glad I'm gone? If you forget my existence is true Then soon I'll forget it too I always felt the fear But you had no clue I was always near But you never knew I always feel despair To show you that I care Being your haunted dear Loving you between frontiers I was a phantom within your stare An apparition, so unreal Just a shadow in midair In darkness, always concealed Through solid walls and secret signs I need you to see me Through darkened halls showing my kind I need the stars to align to make our lives intertwine

Bye world See you on the other side It's the end for me I promise you I tried to stay alive And with all my pride I say this So please don't you cry Look ahead far and wide One day I'll be by your side But as time passes by I will slowly subside If regrets were tombstones And hopes were wishbones I'd have a cemetery With no skeletons underneath As time passes by You will decide I made the only choice Suicide Look ahead far and wide One day I'll be by your side But as time passes by I will slowly subside If regrets were tombstones And hopes were wishbones I'd have a cemetery With no skeletons underneath It's you who I trust As I turn into dust So with all that aside See you on the other side

My heart I'll let you tear To show me you care The knife I’ll let you hold Stabs my soul My passion I'll let you take To burn me at the stake Kill me in the morning In my sleep without warning I'll invite your mind inside my brain To inject your drug within my veins Stab your dagger through my heart Diminish me from above Show me how much I mean to you Murder me, murder me in love Shining blade of mystery In the night you look so pretty Rustling secrets from lips to ears I'll tell you all of my darkest fears I'll invite your mind inside my brain To inject your drug within my veins Stab your dagger through my heart Diminish me from above Show me how much I mean to you Murder me, murder me in love Murder me, murder me Murder me, murder me in love My heart I'll let you tear To show me you care The knife I’ll let you hold Stabs my soul My passion I'll let you take To burn me at the stake Kill me in the morning In my sleep without warning I'll invite your mind inside my brain To inject your drug within my veins Stab your dagger through my heart Diminish me from above Show me how much I mean to you Murder me, murder me in love Murder me, murder me Murder me, murder me in love Murder me, murder me Murder me, murder me in love

You're afraid to die So you'll never want to live You're another lie I've heard you all before Every day's the same Looking out through the window pane I am here today But soon I'll fade away Our dreams are gone, too far to stay It's lost beyond, light-years away Hopes adrift as it appears Wandering alone again this year No amount of work will pay In tired nights of dark dismay What we had was never clear But what we lost was too severe Change my mind, make it right Save my life, you just might Free my soul, no more lies Into my heart, together we'll rise Faded tears are left behind Now there's nowhere left to climb From the bottom of the sky It's the place where your dreams collide I'm looking for a remedy As I'm losing my sanity Together we're meant to be Searching for our destiny Anger me with coquetry Always for eternity Lasting for infinity Wishing you were here with me [x3]

Sleeping for hours 'till sun flips end Deep in dreams as my life transcends Seeking for reasons to impress all them Peeking in regrets to find a gem Even though I know your name I don't know just who you are And even though I hold your hands You're falling away from me If I awake from my coma Will I be the same as I was before If I hold hands with my strangers Will I remember them once more Even though I know your name I don't know just who you are And even though I hold your hands You're falling away from me If I reside in my coma Will I be stunned with senses numb If I hold hands with my strangers Will they know who I've become If I awake from my coma Will I be the same as I was before If I hold hands with my strangers Will I remember them once more Sleeping for hours 'till sun flips end Deep in dreams as my life transcends Seeking for reasons to impress all them Peeking in regrets to find a gem Even though I know your name I don't know just who you are And even though I hold your hands You're falling away from me
11.
Tracing footsteps back to sunshine To the river where I was born Autumn's season gives me reason To search for why I felt so torn I want to be instilled with life To clear regrets of my last choice As death makes me feel my last breath I breathe for you to hear your voice I want to feel your voice My mirror shatters and the situation's clear The pieces are scattered, is this for real? Hundreds of reflections are looking back to me Could I be alone with so much, so much company?

about

Blood Bullet is a California-based project by Isiah Zombie (vocals, lyrics, mixing) and Brandon Dean (guitar, bass). The two began working together in 2012 when they recorded tracks for a horror soundtrack titled "Horrornoir Soundtrack," released in 2013 under the band name "Isiah Zombie and Brandon Dean." The soundtrack was an instrumental mix of rock and electronic songs that were infused with a Halloween vibe. Immediately after it was released, the duo began recording songs with a different purpose in mind: to create a concept rock album complete with lyrics and vocals. They would do this under the moniker "Blood Bullet" which was meant to be the beginning of a new adventure, hence the debut album name "Enter the Venture."

The songwriting and recording process was different on "Enter the Venture" than it was from their first project. Rather than creating songs separately and adding them together on the end product, each song on "Enter the Venture" was closely worked on by the two until they both agreed the songs were the best they could be.

Isiah Zombie's lyrical approach revolves around themes involving loneliness, revenge, depression and death usually with the hint that there is light at the end of the tunnel. The result was an 11-track album that tells the narrative of a man who is struggling to break free from within a coma after a tragic incident. The story has the suffering man on his death bed as he comes face to face with his maker and he realizes his only choice: "Should I strive to stay alive or will my loved ones be afraid of what I've become?" The lyrics to each song were written before any of the songs were recorded, ensuring that the meaning of the songs stayed intact no matter how the song ended up sounding.

Brandon Dean had many influences that he incorporated throughout the album. From the ballads of Metallica, to the heavy riffs of Soundgarden and Rage Against the Machine, to the delicate side of Jimi Hendrix, the style of each song was passed down from a legend. His guitar solos are prominently featured on all the tracks as they soar over the rhythm section with purpose.

The music is only half of the Blood Bullet experience. The other half comprises of the artwork, masterfully done by DavidR who injects the characters in the narrative with color and life. Guided only by simple sketches by Isiah Zombie, DavidR took these and created a new world which reflects the song's overall ideas into images within a 24-page booklet. Each song gets two pages of art with all lyrics included. It is available for free as a digital pdf file when the album is downloaded via bandcamp.

Without an idea how the album would end up sounding, Isiah Zombie and Brandon Dean let the songwriting and recording process take them on a journey which would ultimately build the foundation of what's next to come from Blood Bullet.
