Banished Soul

by @tezzin

Liner Notes

A piano-driven ballad, but dark, with pushy drums; gets a bit crunchy as it goes. I think it's got good bones, but I'll likely revisit the arrangement. The lyric was developed from something I started but abandoned during this year's FAWM.

Lyrics

Adore not the violence
Believers of the boundless
Of rumors and rot
Banished soul
I never found

Abhor not the silence
Deceivers creeping soundless
For questions and ghosts
Dying cold
Forever bound

Banished soul
Never found
Forever bound

Ignore not the tyrants
Upheaval, plotting, scheming
From marrow and dust
Flaming pyre
In tears will drown

Roar now the sirens
Primeval howling, screaming
With anger and lust
Surging ire
Monarch uncrowned

Banished soul
Forever bound
And never found

Sure does set a mood! I love this piece. The dark piano in that minor key really sets an environment for your killer vocals! Sweet song!

Great piano sound and chord progression - very well played also. I am very drawn to the darkness in the lyrics (and the openness) and the music. Excellent vocals and harmonies. I also like the crunchy distorted guitar - nice add to the mix!

Nice piano sound and the gentle introduction of the guitar as the track progresses is cool. I think you could probably go more pushy with the drums (tom fills and cymbals) towards the end to build the tension to a grand crescendo.
