finally. this one took me a while. it's a long bastard, but hopefully it'll keep you entertained. so grab a beer, sit down, and enjoy the ride!


lyrics:


Stand tall and proud, as you fight for peace
To rid the world of its disease
Do what must be done to liberate
Fight back before it's too late


You already know the answer
You must
Strike at the heart of the cancer
You must rise


But all I see is pain
Left from the very start
Another song
Played on the one stringed harp


Slaughter the damned, save the poor
Give it all for the peace you so adore
Rebuild dreams, protect the weak
Give it all for the peace you seek


You already know the answer
You must
Strike at the heart of the cancer
You must rise
They must fall
No more lies
Peace for all


But all I see is pain
Left from the very start
Another song
Played on the one stringed harp


Now only reason stands in your way
And you've come too far to admit your crime
So rape the maidens, kill the king
And save the world another time


Hail new kings
Tearing the world apart
Another song
Played on the one stringed harp


The same old pain
Left from the very start
Another song
Played on the one stringed harp


New hope, new faith
A new song to play on the one stringed harp
New right, new wrong
A new song to play on the one stringed harp
New fear, new hate
A new song to play on the one stringed harp
Same pain, same death
A new song to play on the one stringed harp


Now only reason stands in your way
And you've come too far to admit your crime
So rape the maidens, kill the king
And save the world another time


So rape the maidens, kill the king

Agreed. I'd like the author to upload an instrumental version of this song. He will have all my stars if he does.

Schleif responds:

said and done. you should be able to find an instrumental version on my profile page now. thank you very much for listening!

With absolute no insult to yourself, is there a non-lyrical version of this song? I really enjoy the music, and tend to load my play lists with songs that have very little to no singing when drawing (singing actually distracts me, lol). :)

Schleif responds:

not currently, but i could remove the vocals from the mix and send it to you, if you want! thanks a lot for listening!

did you intend for the song to have added effects in 5.1? If so, Bravo. not many people dive in that far. Anyway, nice song you got here, enjoyed your less grindy approach on the vocals.

Schleif responds:

good to hear you have a sense for detail! thank you very much for the kind words, i'm really glad you like it!

Nice job. Need a little work on the vocals though. I don't think that they're perfect...yet. ;-)

Schleif responds:

my cleans need work, for sure. getting better though! thanks for listening!

Man that is one motherfucker of a song, over 11 minutes! That's already impressive haha, and that lead at 0:30 and throughout the song is fuckin awesome, as well as all of the guitar parts. The drums fit nicely, and everything flows together pretty good. I like the approach you took to the vocals, however some parts were a little pitchy, would be cool to hear you really nail those vocals, but for the most part it was pretty good. The lyrics are awesome btw.

This makes me want to play some old SNES games haha, fuckin epic song there bro!

Schleif responds:

yeah fuck, i really struggle with that clean high pitch shit haha. which is why i practice it. i'm certainly no halford haha. thanks for stopping by, brother! you kick fucking ass \m/
