"DESIRES OF THIS WORLD [ENVY]"

Forgive me father for I have sinned
The sin of ENVY
Go!

Envious
You're so covetous
You better let it go, let it go

Born into this world with nothing in your hands
Leaving it the same, it's all part of the plan
Don't try to fathom how this came about
Such a simple concept, rejoice in the doubt

DESIRES OF THIS WORLD
Our mission to acquire
We want it all
Feed the victim pyre
DESIRES OF THIS WORLD
Our mission to acquire
We want it all
Feed the victim pyre

Consume your doom
There's a bar code on your tomb
You better destroy

DESIRES OF THIS WORLD
Our mission to acquire
We want it all
Feed the victim pyre
DESIRES OF THIS WORLD
Our mission to acquire
We want it all
Feed the victim pyre

(You can't take it with you)

Mourn all that you knew
Embrace awakening
Don't let them rule
This is not a coward's game
You have to strip away
It's your chance at salvation
Will you keep your blindfold on?

DESIRES OF THIS WORLD
Our mission to acquire
We want it all
Feed the victim pyre
DESIRES OF THIS WORLD
Our mission to acquire
We want it all
Feed the victim pyre
(You can't take it with you)
DESIRES OF THIS WORLD
Our mission to acquire
(You can't take it with you)
We want it all
Feed the victim pyre
(You can't take it with you)
DESIRES OF THIS WORLD
Our mission to acquire
(You can't take it with you)
We want it all
Feed the victim pyre

(You can't take it with you)

Artist Statement

Known for passionate vocal prowess, 4-octave range and "a voice made for arenas" (- Jim Florentine, Sirius XM, Vh1's That Metal Show), MILITIA VOX released one of her most exciting singles to date. "DESIRES OF THIS WORLD [ENVY]" is a power metal collaboration with Vox and Maryland metal outfit Reap The Light, who have also released music with Tim 'Ripper' Owens (KK's Priest, Judas Priest, Iced Earth), Laura Guldemond (Burning Witches.)

Militia Vox shares, “This song is epically powerful – both the music and the message. I think this style of vocal is something that people have wanted to hear from me for a while. It’s also deeply layered because I recently lost my mother. Going through her possessions, giving things away and keeping just a few… It’s a reminder of how fragile life is and how irrelevant belongings can be.”

“Desires Of This World (Envy)” was mixed and mastered by Eric Kalina.
