"Eye of the Storm" is about adversity and how we're faced with insurmountable events in life but strive to overcome. We can find peace in the eye of the storm. It does rhyme but not enough for a pattern. Preferred genres (but not limited to) Melodic metal core.
"To Lull a Sadist to Sleep" describes sado masochistic behavior. The sufferer is liken unto a "lamb led to slaughter" or his or her "fucked up god". Only when commiting such acts is the punisher made whole or is it the other way around? Classic AABB and ABAB in some areas. Influences: My Dying Bride Preferred genres (but not limited to) Death metal, Black metal, metal.
A song I wrote about how a lot of people tell me I look and act like my father. I think this is something a lot of men can relate to, how we end up our father's sons. I'm really happy with how this turned out. It's one of those songs that hit home more for me now since my father passed away. It's a classic style of country song here, to be sure.
Sie kommt zu ihrem, unter Drogen stehenden Freund, der hilflos dem Gift verfallen ist. Sie versucht ihn zu bewegen aufzustehen, um ihre Hilfe zu unterstützen, ihn aus dem 'Nebel der Lügen' herauszubringen. Antidrogen Song
A depiction of the events that supposedly took place in the Garden of Eden. I said "supposedly" because I can't truly say. Here, Satan is the Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil. And he beguiled Eve. It also speaks of his heavenly rebellion. Heavily inspired by death/doom, gothic, slight black metal. Very loose rhyme scheme. Enjoy.
