This song is about a soldier living with PTSD. This is a demo version for consideration/ venue use. Feel free to contact me if you're interested in obtaining a copy of this song, or any of my other songs/ album, or if you'd like to use it in any way.
I'm actually mostly pleased with the vocals on this one. I also busted out the 8-string to add a bit more crunch for this song. It's straightforward metal, but I like it that way ;)
lyrics
Red sky above the sands
Immortal hourglass
Burried beneath the streets
The hatred unfurls
Black smoke and sulfur burns
Ashes fill the sky
Ringing like a bell
The chaos unfolds
Thunder crack the gates
Of these immortal foes
The rending of their flesh
By spectres unseen
Call to the other Gods
For strength that never comes
Destroy all you see
The blood stains the land
It's too late to save yourself
From what has become
Locked in a kind of hell
That cannot be undone
Wrapped inside a shell
Afraid of your own mind
As the sun begins to set
You're lost to time
It is the night terror
Demon from the nether
Beware the night terror
It will swallow your soul
It is the night terror
Demon from the nether
Beware the night terror
It will swallow your soul
Lone survivor nothing gained
For some you saved the day
Other's still are in the grave
A ripple in your mind
Cannot find a place to be
Wretched from your family
Locked inside a blink
Of time immemorial
It's too late to save yourself
From what has become
Locked in a kind of hell
That cannot be undone
Wrapped inside a shell
Afraid of your own mind
As the sun begins to set
You're lost to time
It is the night terror
Demon from the nether
Beware the night terror
It will swallow your soul
It is the night terror
Demon from the nether
Beware the night terror
It will swallow your soul
It is the night terror
Demon from the nether
Beware the night terror
It will swallow your soul
