The New Flesh (2026) Sylosis 🇬🇧 United Kingdom

Hands on the wall
Or stand on your feet
Keep you safe
Keep you free from experiencing
Skin
Touch
Tell me when you've had enough
If this is overwhelming wait and see what's to come

Claw at the surface but nothing comes out
So you scratch a little deeper
If there was a doubt
Turn blood into water
To cleanse your insides
Now you don't know who you are
You have been replaced

Now it's all erased
I realise we're nothing
So close to being perfect
Here's your parting gift

Repressed then and repressed now
Life is getting harder but we can't see how
Medicated by ones and zeros
Starve the mind and the body follows
Depleted, deprived
Everything eliminated inside

Claw at the surface but nothing comes out
So you scratch a little deeper
If there was a doubt
Turn blood into water
To cleanse your insides
But you don't know who you are
You have been replaced

Now it's all erased
I realise we're nothing
So close to being perfect
Here's your parting gift

Reanimate the dead
New flesh glorified
Staring back at you
Seven heads
Seven eyes
Scream into the void
Until our faces turn red
It's never too late for you to hang your fucking head

What am I looking at?
Fucking nothing
Close my eyes, felt a breath
At least it's something real
Tell me what it takes
To sleep soundly these days
One eye over your shoulder
The other on your grave

Take a bow
You're a god now
Rags to riches
Riches to new skin
You must be proud
"You should kill for this"
It will kill for you
It will kill
It will kill you too

Now it's all erased
I realise we're nothing
So close to being perfect
Here's your parting gift

Erased
Erased
Erased

The world doesn't owe us a thing
So in turn expect nothing
For once just keep your thoughts within
Don't hold your breath again

In this world you despise
Your rejection magnified

All glory, no valour
Everything you wish for shatters
All glory, no valour
Nothing you say fucking matters

You crave adulation
But garner no respect
The world knows your lies
You just don't know it yet

All glory, no valour
Everything you wish for shatters
All glory, no valour

You beg for a seat at the table of kings
kings

The taste of blood lingers on your lips
Only a fool would wish for this

All glory, no valour
All glory, no fucking valour
All glory, no valour
All glory, no fucking valour

Everything you wish for shatters

The world doesn't owe us a thing
So in turn expect nothing
You had your time to be
A name worth remembering

All glory, no valour
Everything you wish for shatters
All glory, no valour
Nothing you say fucking matters

Only fools wish for a sit at the table of kings

Paranoia taking hold of me
All my thoughts dismantling
Carried away on a tide of nothing
The fear of what could be happening

Do you feel it too?
The group opening
The clouds of judgement, suffocating

Are you alive
Living with a sinking feeling
It's so hard to find
Tell me it's not too late

Are you alive
Or is it just a chemical feeling
Won't you feed me a lie
Tell me it's not too late

Do you feel it too?
The group opening
The clouds of judgement, suffocating

You try and kill your shadow
But it engulfs you
Frozen like bait
Your demons await

Are you alive
Or is it just a chemical feeling
Won't you feed me a lie
Tell me it's not too late
Are you satisfied
Living with a sinking feeling
Won't you tell me I'm fine
Tell me that my wounds aren't so bad

Frozen still in the throes of suffocation
Every thought becomes a laceration

Look through my eyes, you'll begin to see
That the world before you
Is not the same for me

Are you alive
Or is it just a chemical feeling
Won't you feed me a lie
Tell me it's not too late
Are you satisfied
Living with a sinking feeling
Won't you tell me I'm fine
Tell me that my wounds aren't so bad

True conviction is hard to find
Purity is not in our design
Find a voice with which you can align
If there's somebody with a conscience then give me a sign

No man is without sin and I know mine
Some values are lost through the passage of time
Bathed in greed (greed), consort with swine (swine)
It's hard to find somebody with a fucking spine

You have to dig for gold through the mounds of dirt
And bite your tongue just to hold your worth

Shedding (shedding)
Changing (changing)
Remove your skin, are you still the same?
Mirror (mirror)
To your soul (to your soul)
Which mask best deceives them all?

Breathe deep, it's corruption you smell
Angel wings with one foot in hell
You've not acted on the words you implore
Forgive me, Father, I've been keeping score

Hate fuels hate and it paved the way
From the rats in the sewers to the birds of prey
Given the chance you will always take
But I don't see a man, I see a fucking snake

Shedding (shedding)
Changing (changing)
Remove your skin, are you still the same?
Mirror (mirror)
To your soul (to your soul)
Which mask best deceives them all?

(Mirror mirror mirror)
(Mirror mirror mirror)
Remove your fucking skin

No one is above
But maybe some are below
No one is above sin
But the loudest mouths never hold their worth

Shedding (shedding)
Changing (changing)
Remove your skin, are you still the same?
Mirror (mirror)
To your soul (to your soul)
Which mask best deceives them all?

Shedding (shedding)
Changing (changing)
Remove your skin, are you still the same?
Mirror (mirror)
To your soul (to your soul)
Which mask best deceives them all?

You need a mirror (mirror), mirror (mirror)
You need a mirror (mirror), you fucking snake
(Mirror)

Cold spit, eyes filled with grit
Caught in spiritual deficit
Running from your own shadow
Body and mind are split

So break everything around me
'Cause I’ve been living under a glass ceiling
With a foot upon me
So don’t you take my precious time from me

I’ve got nothing left to spare
But time won’t spare you from the guillotine

Cut down size
Can’t read behind my eyes
What you never see
All you need to know
In fire baptised

Hanging by a thread
Living under threat

Nulify
Fight for everything breath I leave behind
So cough it up
I’ll take it and be done
Wrong place wrong fucking time
Don’t lower my vibration
You’re stood where I drew the line

Drop
Await the sting of the guillotine
Sycthe
The scythe’s remorseless swing
Time
No one is spared
Once you shatter you won’t be put back together

Falling deeply asleep in the fire
And they’re all building your pyre
Nothing to give
Nothing to give
So swallow it down

I’ve got not time to suffer a fool
There’s a line drawn between me and you
Nothing to give
Nothing to give
You had my time now you get nothing

You were wearing the skin of God
When you finally fell to earth
Your disciples were lost in the flood
Eyes like daggers drenched in blood

Now we bathe in your crimson death

My trophies are of flesh and of bone
I want your head to adorn my throne
You stole a part of me that has now grown cold
I never asked for much, I just want your soul

I want your fucking head
Head

Cut out your tongue, push it down your throat
Unclench your fists and succumb to the one you loathe

Never the victim, always the spurned
Now we rejoice as the table's turned
Watch you sink like another wreck
Fill the streets with the blood from your neck

My trophies are of flesh and of bone
I want your head to adorn my throne
You stole a part of me that has now grown cold
I never asked for much, I just want your soul

Savour what you take (what you take)
I hope it serves you well (serves you right)
Don't come crawling back
This is farewell

My trophies are of flesh and of bone
I want your head to adorn my throne
Give me [?] just enough to feel whole
I never asked for much, I just want your soul

I just want your fucking head

Sentenced (sentenced), sentenced to outlive
This skin and bone we're in
Jaws open wide, to receive your life
Sinew and flesh expired
I sense a deep awakening
Under the skin
Time will now stand still
A new era begins

Immortal coil, internal war
From physical, to immaterial
It only serves us to remind
We all corrode with time

Born of our new cells
Outlive what was suppressed
Now open your eyes
Manifestation of the new flesh
Our souls will reignite
Not decay unless
We redefine
Manifestation of the new flesh

No control held over us
Your soul, engrossed
Swallowed by eternity

Born of our new cells
Outlive what was suppressed
Now open your eyes
Manifestation of the new flesh
Our souls will reignite
Not decay unless
We redefine
Manifestation of the new flesh

Helpless voices, calling for respite
When they reach out their hands, reality bites
Nerves tied, cauterised, the only life inside
Emerging through the minds eye

Manifestation of the new flesh

Do I give you a false sense of security?
A broken shield, what a pity
I wrote it down so you'll never forget
So when I'm not there you can always read it

What if I was always around?
Would I still let you down?
What if I could be everywhere at once?

Every breath is like a twisting knife in my side
Take me back, take me back, I'm begging, don't leave me here
It's a long way home, you know I can't part the sea
When I leave, I leave all that matters to me

Marbled eyes, just like your mother
Without the demons that wrestle your father
I never wanted it to feel like I choose this over you
(Choose this over you)

Every breath is like a twisting knife in my side
Take me back, take me back, I'm begging, don't leave me here
I can almost feel your hands, you know I can't part the sea
When I leave, I leave all that matters to me

Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Imagine we're in the same place at the same time

Every breath is like a twisting knife in my side
Take me back, take me back, I'm begging, don't leave me here
I can almost feel your hands, but I can't part the sea
When I leave, I leave all that matters to me

And it feels like a knife in my side
Nothing changes when I close my eyes
I'll just keep telling myself, "just one more breath"
It's a long way back and I can't part the sea
When I leave, I leave all that matters to me

What if I was always around?
Would I still let you down?
What if I could be everywhere at once?

Everywhere I turn, there's a blade to my throat
Everyone I know is now out for blood
If that's what you want then fucking take some
In the blade you'll see your true reflection

Now stood in the circle of swords
Now kneel before your new God
Stood in the circle of swords
Now serve your new Lord

Whispers of your intent made their way through the air
All your shields are gone, now you're stood here
You'll never drain me, never leave a scar
And now I know who you truly are

Stood in the circle of swords
Now kneel before your new God
Stood in the circle of swords
Now praise your new Lord

Rust, untouchable by their claws
Recomposed and prepared for war

Aimless, faceless
Beg they have mercy on your soul

Stood in the circle of swords
Now kneel before your new God
Stood in the circle of swords
Now praise your new Lord

No matter how hard you try to push through
You're only creating a self-inflicted wound

Do my eyes deceive me or has it really been
So many times round the sun, living like we have impunity
A desperate clutch of despair clinging to existence
When I don't know what waits for me there

One last deep inhale
Remove the dust under the stone
I return again

(Woah oh) We're all seeds in the river
(Woah oh) Washed away like we were never here
(Woah oh) Maybe we'll all be delivered
But it's all I can do not to fight this feeling

I've known a lot of faces, and some are long gone
New memories replace those who sang their swansong
A desperate clutch of despair clinging to existence
When I don't know just what waits for me here

If I could write a letter to my former self
It would just read "accept the hand you've been dealt
Resilence is a weapon, and you'll find your better self
It's in the eyes of someone else."

(Woah oh) We're all seeds in the river
(Woah oh) Washed away like we were never here
(Woah oh) Maybe we'll all be delivered
But it's all I can do not to fight this feeling

Eyes heavy but on we move blindly in the dark
I can't help but think of all the time I spent waiting for life to start
So focused on failing, I never took the time to savour
All the things I took for granted, I wish that I could come back braver

One day you will look back
And wish for a dull moment
A deeper connection
That's what keeps you tethered
Keep your head above the waves
Ride it out for as long as you can take
There's enough tragedy to pull you down
But we've all seen darker days

We're all seeds in the river
Washed away like we were never... here
Maybe we'll all be delivered
But it's all I can do not to fight this feeling

(Woah oh) We're all seeds in the river
(Woah oh) Washed away like we were never here
(Woah oh) Maybe we'll all be delivered
But it's all I can do not to fight this feeling
