1) A post-hardcore band from Phoenix, Arizona, United States.
2) A soft rock band from Melbourne, Australia.
A White Lotus traditionally represents a rebirth. Just like the beautiful flower, Eyes Set To Kill has gone through a metamorphosis. After years of being forced to conceal their aspirations, the Phoenix, Arizona-based collective finally reveal their true identity on their upcoming fourth studio album appropriately entitled White Lotus.
“It’s a symbolic name,” Alexia Rodriguez states. “We have a clear mind set, we have purity and we know exactly what we want to do with our music. We know who we are and where we want to go, and so we wanted to use a white lotus to symbolize how confident and focused we are. It’s a leap for us because we have a clearer vision of what we want.”
Down to a more concentrated four-piece, Eyes Set To Kill slowly drowned out their screamo vibe and have transformed into a metal band led by Rodriguez’s piercing vocal prowess. Tie that in with stellar musicianship, mature songwriting and an adrenaline-charged resonance, and it’s clear this explosive quartet is on the verge of redefining the genre.
Those sentiments are further backed up by smash singles like “The Secrets Between,” a heavy single about withholding the truth from a significant other; “Forget,” an intense ditty about the desire to erase your memory from terrible experience with an ex-lover; and “Where I Wanna Be,” a love song with a dark edge.
It’s a new and improved style, and they’ve spent years getting to this point.
Formed in 2003 by the Rodriguez sisters, Eyes Set To Kill’s passionate music connected with fans early on and led them to becoming one of MySpace.com’s top unsigned screamo bands in 2006. The group signed with BreakSilence/Suburban Noize Records the following year and release three critically acclaimed studio efforts – 2008’s Reach, 2009’s The World Outside and 2011’s Broken Frames.
Frustrated with the label politics, and pressure to withhold their identity, Eyes Set To Kill decided to break away and become the band they were destined to be. The metal quartet independently released White Lotus through a joint venture between their own imprint Forsee Records and Maphia Entertainment.
Eyes Set To Kill aims to make a career on their terms and the versatile White Lotus is a testament to their craft. “I’ve found that the more unique people are, the more unique their tastes are gonna be,” Rodriguez says. “So I think people that are diverse and are into all types of music, they’ll like this album because it’s diverse, but a lot heavier.”
Now, it’s time for this White Lotus to bloom.

Eyes Set to Kill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From my neck embraced by a concealed grip I welcomed in my arms
Bruised by your love
Burned by your kiss
Is this true love?
Bruised by your love
Burned by your kiss
This time the victum is you
Poison lips, the ones you kiss
I swear my love for you is true
Young blood spills
Now there I sing my deadly lullaby
Bruised by your love
Burned by your kiss
Is this true love?
Bruised by your love
Burned by your kiss
Is this true love?
Now there I sing my deadly lullabyu
Now here I sing to hypnotize your body
Now there I sing my deadly lullaby
Now here I sing to hypnotize your body
We bled that night till drained
You drank me dry I did the same
We bleed this night till drained
This cold
We bled that night till drained
You drank me dry I did the same
We bleed this night till drained
This cold night
The lyrics of Eyes Set to Kill's "Young Blood Spills Tonight" depict a twisted and violent relationship. The opening line, "Sip my blood till there's no blood left to spill," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer sings of being embraced by a "concealed grip" and being willing to welcome it as they question whether the abuse they face is truly love. The chorus implies a role reversal as the victim seeks revenge, claiming that "this time the victim is you" and promising their love is true.
The second verse continues to describe the singer's conflicted feelings, referring to their love as "deadly" and singing a lullaby to, it seems, put themselves or their victim to sleep. The final lines of the song describe the two engaging in a bloodletting ritual, "we bled that night till drained" and "you drank me dry I did the same." The reference to a "cold night" hints at the darker, supernatural undertones the song contains.
Overall, "Young Blood Spills Tonight" offers a disturbing glimpse into a toxic relationship that is laced with violence, obsession, and possibly even vampirism.

Imperium Acira! Gnomo
Sangue Jovem Se Derrama Esta Noite
Sugue meu sangue até não haver mais sangue a ser derramado do meu pescoço
Abraçada por uma oculta compreensão que acolhi em meus braços,
em meus braços,
em meus braços
Ferida por seu amor
Queimada por seus beijos
Isso é amor verdadeiro?
Isso é amor verdadeiro?
Sangue jovem se derrama esta noite
Dessa vez o vencedor é você
Lábios venenosos, os únicos que você beija
Eu juro que meu amor por você é verdadeiro
Sangue jovem se derrama
Agora aqui eu canto, minha canção de ninar mortal
Ferida por seu amor
Queimada por seus beijos
Isso é amor verdadeiro?
Isso é amor verdadeiro?
Ferida por seu amor
Queimada por seus beijos
Isso é amor verdadeiro?
Isso é amor verdadeiro?!
Agora aqui eu canto, minha canção de ninar mortal
Agora aqui eu canto, para hipnotizar seu corpo
Agora aqui eu canto, minha canção de ninar mortal
Agora aqui eu canto, pra hipnotizar seu corpo
Nós sangramos aquela noite até secar
Você me bebeu seco e eu fiz o mesmo
Nós sangramos aquela noite até secar
Esse frio
Nós sangramos aquela noite até secar
Você me bebeu seco e eu fiz o mesmo
Nós sangramos essa noite até secar
Essa gélida,
gélida noite...
