The new single, ‘Glorious Appearance (Ft. Absolute Desolation),’ from Scapegoat is available to purchase and stream right now via The Charon Collective.
‘Glorious Appearance’ is a heavy, symbolic retelling of the final moments before the betrayal — a collision of prophecy, sacrifice, denial, and eternal promise.
This track draws directly from the imagery of the Last Supper, Peter’s denial, Judas’ betrayal, and Christ’s final words of love and warning.
Every line reflects the tension between human weakness and divine certainty.

Lyrics
In His heart He’d foretell
This would be a farewell
“Take this form
I’ll grant you everlasting glory
Wine, blood crimson
Take it as a new covenant for forgiveness”
It’s come down to this sweet moment
Close your eyes now, hearts wide open
Dirty hands, they will build towers
Clean feet, they will have the power
To trample on or walk on their own
“I’ve foreseen it with my eyes
You will feign—not know me thrice
On the very darkest night
Only will you see the light”
There’s a devil amongst us now
He won’t even need to avow
Saw his betrayal from a mile, and he hides behind a smile
“Love one another
Just like I love you
Hold yourself together for the worse is yet to come
This won’t last forever but you’ll always have a home”
Soon comes the morning, soon comes the disowning
“Every star might be dim, but you’ll stand a chance
Every heart can fall down—never part your hands
When it’s time for the end may your life begin
May this suffering wash away all your sins
Keep all of your hopes together
Unto me, you will call and I will answer
You and me, we’ll stand forever”
Don’t look back, no need to live in denial
Don’t look back, the end is here
Its arrival, this is final
“The time is coming; I see it with a certainty
The time is coming; I know it with a certainty
The time is coming; I feel it with a certainty”
“The time is coming; we’ll live for an eternity”
