William Francis created William Control because he was interested in making music that didn't match the style of his band Aiden. In 2008 William Control released its debut album Hate Culture which is, as explained in a Kerrang! magazine interview, the story of a man named William Control and his last night on Earth because he wishes to kill himself. Hate Culture peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Electronic Albums chart and No. 43 on the Heatseekers chart. Its only single was "Beautiful Loser," for which a music video was made.
William Control toured with Escape the Fate on their This War Is Ours tour in late 2008. In 2009, William began working on Noir, which was released June 8, 2010. He invited his friends and fans to come up to the studio and record vocals on it, including Ashley Costello of Orange County rock band New Years Day and Jeffree Star. He then supported Jeffree Star on tour and headlined a show the day after.
In April and May 2012 William performed on the Fight to Unite Tour with Brokencyde and Blood on the Dance Floor, and in June he headlined the New Faith Tour in Europe, playing shows in the UK, Netherlands, and France. William will be performing in London at O2 Academy Islington on August 29, 2012, and it will be filmed for a DVD release.

William Control Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The criminal glance you shot my way, these oceans waves,
Will consume us.
The road to hell is paved with one intention, my love.
Your vicious sky, I can't be saved.
Lascivious way you spoke my name, these carnal waves,
The road to hell is paved with one intention, my love.
Get down on your knees and pray.
Get down on your knees and say, I adore you.
I need to exist in your world, my love.
Where do the angels lie?
In the comfort of your night.
Where do the angels lie?
Visualize.
I want to close my eyes we can fall in love together,
I want to feel that perfect velvet rose forever.
I want to close my eyes we can fall in love together,
I want to taste that perfect velvet rose forever. Forever.
Your beauty kills, I'm still depraved.
The criminal way you spoke my name these carnal waves,
Will consume us.
The road to hell is paved with one intention, my love.
Get down on your knees and pray.
Get down on your knees and say, I adore you.
I need to exist in your world, my love.
Where do the angels lie?
In the comfort of your night.
Where do the angels lie?
Visualize.
I want to close my eyes we can fall in love together,
I want to feel that perfect velvet rose forever.
I want to close my eyes we can fall in love together,
I want to taste that perfect velvet rose forever. Forever.
You look inside, you can't deny the sea is black and the sky is bright we are ethereal fall in love forever.
You look inside, you can't deny the sea is black and the sky is bright we are ethereal fall in love forever.
