Hailing from Waterbury, CT, Emptyeye is in fact one 21-year old musician who plays or sings every part on his songs through one means or another. Primarily a bassist, he also sings, plays guitar and uses the magic of technology to place drums into his tracks. Unlike most artists, Emptyeye chooses to commit career suicide by actively staying away from the common 4/4 time signature whenever possible, in true progressive-rock tradition. Yet unlike most proggers, he also eschews the typical three-minute solo sections of the typical prog-rock song, making his music a true enigma.

Story behind the song
As far as the lyrics are concerned, the song is basically a different take on the generic "Religion sucks" angle. Unlike almost everyone I know who went to a Catholic school, I don't believe religion is inherently evil. I don't even believe Catholicism is inherently evil. However, within Catholicism (And any religion really), there is a small group of Fundamentalist nuts who feel that anything that is unfamiliar to them or that they don't agree with is automatically spawned from hell. This is what I'm ranting against in this song. Musically, The song is strange, to say the least. It has all the weird time signatures (5/8, 7/8, and 9/8, to name the primary ones) and abrupt changes of progressive rock, while at the same time dispensing with the three-minute solo section found in so many prog tunes.
Lyrics
1. In the beginning The light shone through Then came the creatures And human beings He set them loose Gave them free will This was the being's Grave mistake Chorus. You may not want me You may not need me You may reject me You may condemn me but You can't deny it It eats inside you You've warped the message Corruption drags you down! 2. In time they grew To use the thought They saw the power That they'd been granted So they began To twist the teachings So they'd destroy all Opposition Chorus Whispers. Preaching the basics Interpreting none Exerting their message Their will be done You judge all the others Exempting yourself You say those that differ Are going to hell They persecute those who are different They seek to create the divine You only trail your own dogma You feast on your own bloody wine 3.But in the end Death comes for all They will be sentenced Eternally To dwell with Satan In icy Hell And cry in torment For their misdeeds Chorus
