MORTAL SACRIFICE Lyrics – Tommy Richman

Tommy Richman caps off Worlds Apart with Mortal Sacrifice, the aching closer that dropped today November 21, 2025, on ISO Supremacy/PULSE Records, and it lingers like that last voicemail you play on repeat, wondering if things could have ended different.

Tommy’s been peeling back layers all project, but this one cuts deepest. He slows the tempo way down, letting his voice crack over minimal guitar plucks and faint synth washes that feel like holding your breath. Mortal Sacrifice is him pleading for one more shot at saying the right thing before it’s too late, turning “afterlife” confessions into something urgent and human. That chorus loops like regret you can’t shake, asking if wrongs can still turn right without waiting for some cosmic redo.

He wrote it in the thick of wrapping the album, pulling from real late-night talks that never quite landed, and you hear the exhaustion in lines about ditching patience and going back to basics. No big drops or tricks, just raw emotion that ties the whole Worlds Apart theme together: people drifting in their own orbits, reaching across the gap one last time.

As the final track on an eight-song run that’s barely 20 minutes, Mortal Sacrifice leaves you hanging in the best way. The album’s been this tight exploration of distance, emotional and literal, with cuts like Bother Me pulling Brent Faiyaz in for that moody middle and this one sealing it quiet. It’s Tommy saying goodbye without fully closing the door, fading out on those “Worlds Apart” whispers like he’s still hoping the signal gets through.
