This is a proto-demo of what Track 3 would eventually become. It's entirely different than what it became but just for fun I figured I'd post it. Most of the lyrics I repurposed for the final version and even a guitar lick or riff here or there.

As with all the demos, mind the unpolished nature of the track cause IT AINT GREAT

[Intro]

I don't care what you think of me

The scars inside will always bleed

Unbroken,

Unshaken

You cannot take my pride

I'm Cursed

But Remain

My True Strength Lies Inside

Can't hurt me

Can't break me

You cannot change my mind

The mistake

My mistake

Flay my flesh I feel alright

[Verse 1]

Bring me to the front

Do what I'm told

Make a sense of place

Fulfil this role

Taking all the pain

Put it on me

Better that they don't live

Life like me

I can handle you

And my sins I

Take the burden

Innocence

Bleed another life

Take from me

A fraction of the

Agony

[Verse 2]

Even if the scars don't show it I'm whole

Absolution given I've paid the toll

Cannot let eyes of the sheep folk see

What the cruel hands of fate and family did to me

Casting devastation from a splintered battered form

I keep pushing forward, keep pressing on

Until the fractured pieces of my soul reform

I'll wear the mark of burden until I'm re-fuckin' born

[Prechorus]

Say sweet dreams cause

Tonight we die

Bleed to feed the ground

Let the scars define

Crack annihilate

What my blood designed

Every pound of flesh from me will

Bring peace of mind

Take from me

When I should be blind, e-

ternally

It will remind

Failure to survive those

ties that bind

Other than the one around my throat

Is where I draw the line

[Chorus]

Hotter than the surface of the sun

Denser than black holes

Hatred that combusts within the forge

that's inside my soul

Fueled by the suffering of my past

Tempered with control

None of it, None of it sutures me

Stitches ripping at the seams of the broken honor titles old

[Verse 1]

I don't give a fuck

What you think

Of punishment or heretics

Just another thing

Burdening

The shoulders of the ones in pain

Make another life

Return to me

The price for air is agony

Giving up the faith

The wretchedness is

All that is inside of me

[Verse 2]

I don't care what you think of me cause

The scars inside will always bleed

Sacrificial hooves for the weakest fold

Penance has been paid when they flayed me whole

Take away the right to be a part of my own family

Because they way they tortured me for subterfuge they did not see

I am unbroken now

[Prechorus]

Say sweet dreams cause

Tonight we die

Bleed to feed the ground

Let the scars define

Crack annihilate

What my blood designed

Every pound of flesh from me will

Bring peace of mind

Take from me

When I should be blind, e-

ternally

It will remind

Failure to survive those

ties that bind

Other than the one around my throat

Is where I draw the line

[Chorus]

Hotter than the surface of the sun

Denser than black holes

Hatred that combusts within the forge

that's inside my soul

Fueled by the suffering of my past

Tempered with control

None of it, None of it sutures me

Stitches ripping at the seams of the broken honor titles old

[Chorus 2nd verse]

I don't care what you think of me

The scars inside will always bleed

Flesh coagulates but souls have needs

The cold embrace of death would've set me free but

NO

[Breakdown Bridge]

Why am I alive

Why did I survive

Where is my prize

When does honor die
