Description:

The lyrical element behind 13 is, once again, not for the weak at heart, as Barnes plunders the dark side, scythe in hand. "It's definitely a loosely based concept," he says about his twisted poetry. "It takes you through a story. Everything I've done lyrically is about life and death. And this is no different, but it's a little more concentrated and focused towards the grim reaper and the thought of the coming of death in many ways individually and on a grand scale. People that are really into my lyrics notice certain patterns of reminiscing towards older things that I've written. There's maybe a little bit more of a puzzle here to try and connect the pieces. 13 is kind of that, but directed in a manner of things to come, things that have been, things that are happening.
The number 13, on many different levels, biblically, historically, supernaturally, is a vague type of thing; it's not just a scary number.ì
