The Tall Men Eat First
Singles
Released: July 3, 2026

The Tall Men Eat First is a slow gothic metal descent into sealed evidence, blacked-out names, hidden rooms, and elite predation. It takes the language of conspiracy, court seals, flight logs, and buried files, then turns it into haunted ritual horror.

The song moves through islands, mortuary halls, red rooms, black books, chrome terror, and dead voices trapped inside paperwork. The horror is not just one monster or one man. The central idea is worse: the predator is a system, and the system has been fed for generations.

Sung with cold, ceremonial darkness, The Tall Men Eat First feels like a funeral march for the powerful. The dead are no longer silent, the file is open, the plane is ash, and the final judgment is simple: they must pay.

They Must Pay
Hey… So, The Tall Men Eat First, is the darkest song lyrically that I’ve ever written. In fact, writing the words made me uncomfortable. It was as if I was confronting something many people know about and ignored for years. I sat on these lyrics for a while before deciding to produce it, and...

Lyrics

The file is sealed
The names are black
The plane came in
The plane went back
No grave
No trial
No witness heard
Just one more ghost
In the paperwork

Under the island
Under the floor
There is a hallway
Behind the door
Marble above
Mortuary below
Where the rich men gather
And the missing go
Chrome eye opens
In the dark
Silver teeth
And a spinning heart
The coffins hum
A mighty thirst
The table is set
The tall men eat first

The tall men eat first
The children disappear
The files stay buried
But the screams are clear
Black book
Red room
Closed case
Cold tomb
The tall men eat first
The tall men eat first

Senators sleep
With cameras on
Judges kneel
Before the dawn
Every favor
Every debt
Every picture
They protect
Flight logs vanish
Court seals hold
Dead girls whisper
Through the mold
No one talks
No one leaves
The whole machine
Gets on its knees

Not a list
A menu
Not a court
A kitchen
Not a grave
A shipment
Not a man
A system
Chrome sphere
Black mirror
Red room
Cold dinner
Flight log
Blood price
Tall man
Sharp knife

Innocence lost
Innocence done
Mother's arms reaching
For their young
Nations squeezed
The price for peace
Souls to please
The monsters who feed
The feast is over,
no one suspects
Until the dead
come back to collect
The names bleed through
Every bar of black

The tall men eat first
The children disappear
The files stay buried
But the screams are clear
Black book
Red room
Closed case
Cold tomb
The tall men eat first
The tall men eat first

The file is open
The plane is ash
The door is unlocked
The dead come back
They Must Pay
