The title track of my new album. This is my redemption back into life.
Lyrics:
The creatures of desire
Are the keepers of the fire
The sleepers in their dreams go higher
While the world burns away in smokey spires
(repeat)
I do what I do because I need to love
To give the world a shove, wake y'all the fuck up
Time to rise above if you've had enough
Of the evil empire trying to tie us up
Now you might be hoping for a revolution
Or for someone else to find a solution
But the truth is no one knows what's real
Except the human desire to feel
I was born with clenched fists, grippin a hit list
Of targets to be hit with music
Bout damn time I get around to use it
I'll take this as far as I can make it
With weapons of mass awakening
Lock and load, it's time to go
Preserve the fire that we hold
The creatures of desire
Are the keepers of the fire
The sleepers in their dreams go higher
While the world burns away in smokey spires
(repeat)
Lost in a cage of my own design
Scarred by the things that I've left behind
Maybe someone with an open heart and open ears
Will hear my song and understand where I'm from and why I'm here
Tired of feeling like a ghost, tired of people stepping on my toes
I need someone to hold, and never let go
Maybe peace of mind is a fantasy
Maybe we're all fucked and too blind to see
That there's no such thing as reality
Only memories that matter to you and me
I'll revive my spirit and set my soul free
Keep rockin till my body can't take no more
When I'm done with this world, I'll move to the next
To play my game as the catalyst
I'll make flight into the sun, into the sun
And find myself in eternity, eternity
So take my hand and hold it tight
This night is ours forever
To transcend the flesh and explore the stars
If I could see the world with you
I'd have nothing else left to do
Always saying I gotta get out of here
But here might as well be anywhere
I burn my candle at both ends
The flames are strong against the wind
Now it's time to transcend
Before the fun begins to end
The creatures of desire
Are the keepers of the fire
The sleepers in their dreams go higher
While the world burns away in smokey spires
(repeat)

There's so MUCH music in you, pouring out in all directions at once. The opening of this was very special :)
Hang on to the multitrack masters of these my friend- you'll be able to get them professionally mixed when you're ready to go forth and make 'em a released album :)

It's a blessing and a curse. :) This song has been stuck in my head for three years, but I've only recently developed the skill level to lay it down in a recording.
I can feel the emotion pouring from that song you've got here. You've come a pretty long way too! If I could, I'd give you a hug of accomplishment for everything you've survived through and come out well on the other side, but you'll have to make do with this for now: {{hugs}}. This song made me smile... smile for the music and for you. Just look at me... you've reduced me to a blubbering fool, putting together these few sentences for you. Might even make me cry from joy a bit.
Do hang onto those masters, you'll want them for later. (And I'll want your CD from those masters, your previous WIP's went well with me.)

*hugs back* It's appreciated all the same! I'm happy to have pulled some emotional strings...
This is a lot more melodic than your previous stuff, and wow that crazy rhythm you do the speaking part to is more complex than I can really understand!
Too complex for most people to understand is the story of my life... XD
damn. I thought I was a fast singer. I enjoy the rhythmic chant sections
like the wha wha pedal.
