All songs written by Phil Bozeman. As he described this album; “This Is Exile is a concept album of the fall of evil. This album is not about Satan or anything of the sort! Many of you question my religion, I don’t follow religion but I am a believer or God! I am not here to judge, I am here to let you know about me and my work and how I feel. I’m not saying you must believe what I do, that is your decision.”

Father of Lies - This is the beginning, where it all started. This is the failure of a certain being and how his lust for power corrupts him to corrupt what he once believed. This is the tragedy of his betrayal. Again, these are fictional characters.
