about

The deep South crossroads vibe in this tune is a fun and spooky ride. Picture the character Hell Boy. His whole destiny was to come to Earth and bring about Armageddon, only he keeps choosing not to do it. It’s interesting what destinies we think are ours and how badass it is to change the scripts and make them better. - Mike Blas

lyrics

Son

I am the son of the devil, I am
Said, the son of the devil, I am
And my father’s hunting for me
But he can’t ride as fast as I can ride
He had such high hopes for me
But I let my good grades slide.

I am the son of the devil, I am
Said, the son of the devil, I am
And my father took my car keys
I did not sweep the yard
And I won’t lead his armies
Cuz you’d be the enemy

CHORUS
I was only born to destroy you (times 3)
I am made of hate
but I’m fighting it for you.

I am the son of the devil, I am
Said, the son of the devil, I am
And even if your sign is hopeless
Oh please don’t lose your focus
Just know this antidote is
You can be anything.

CHORUS….for you,

I was only born to destroy,
Destroy you, destroy you,
I am made of hate
And I’m fighting it.

This is a song of hope for those encased in sin
There is a love I know that hears and helps you win
And though this song of hope is dark I hope you look past the outer skin
There is a love I know that hears and helps you win
This is a song of hope

about

Black Queen Speaks Houston, Texas

Formed in Houston, TX but hailing from across the country, Black Queen Speaks came together for a common love of the almighty groove. Their sound is an amalgamation of blues, hard rock, grunge, 70’s funk, dance, and soul peppered with flourishes of 90’s hip hop. In short, Black Queen Speaks can best be described as if Jane’s Addiction and Soundgarden got their asses kicked by James Brown. ... more
