Very well done! The low tones were very good, I almost feel like the higher registers needed a bit more however

Oooh, it's kind of like Elfman's Batman theme and the theme from Dark Knight Rises had a baby! To be clear, I really like this song. Awesome work as always!

Just by listening it makes sense that you chose the ship for a thumbnail it give a vwlery adventuous feeling

What an adventure :O Very dark! Love it :)

Lyrics:
I had a lot of friends till I drove them round the bend
and then they left me all alone and so I roam around the globe
In search of new shiny buddies, to share with them my worries
and my joys and my toys and my secret jars of poison!
I searched up high... I searched down low...
But... no matter where I look no friends began to show
and so I made a list of killers, and wrote them all letters
asking lots of friendly questions... with all the best intent they told me

Don't ask your questions to the wall
They keep their secrets locked inside
If blood and bones are what you want
I suggest that you look behind you

I keep each letter in a box under my bed
It really rocks 'cos when I'm sad I just read all of them again
I sent them drawings done in crayon, and plans for domination
even cute little collages of their exploits from the papers.
And when they get out, we will be friends
Bestest buddies un-til the end
We'll go on picnics, with long pork sammies
But I keep thinking 'bout... What they told me

Don't ask your questions to the wall
They keep their secrets locked inside
If blood and bones are what you want
I suggest that you look behind you
Don't ask your questions to the wall
They keep their secrets locked inside
If blood and bones are what you want
I suggest that you look behind you

Lyrics:
It's been a few years since you left me, and I think I'm coping well. 
I've really picked myself up, and everything is swell. 
But even now, there's moments when I think of me and you. 
Cause when you were still with me, I knew exactly what to do. 
I keep a knife inside my heart to remind me of you. 
And when I'm feeling kinda sad, I take it out and run and shout. 
And I kill, yes, I kill. Let you ride in my pocket to soak up the thrill 
While I kill. Yes, I kill. And you're there with me all the while helping me spill all the blood. 
All the blood, all the blood, all the blood 
Oh, I can't help but kill... without you. 
The nights seem cold and empty. Now that I don't have you near. 
We used to walk at midnight, and was nothing that we feared. 
And here I sit all by myself, thinking what we might have done. 
A body here, a shallow grave, it all seems so long gone. 
I keep a knife inside my heart to remind me of you. 
And when I'm feeling kinda sad, I take it out and run and shout. 
And I kill, yes, I kill. Let you ride in my pocket to soak up the thrill 
While I kill. Yes, I kill. And you're there with me all the while helping me spill all the blood. 
All the blood, all the blood, all the blood 
Oh, I can't help but kill... without you. 
Without you in my life. Oh, I turn into the knife. 
And I can't help but kill... 
Without you.

And I Kill ft. Gloom Darkheart

Lyrics:
I never really meant to choke you out
But you fell too fast for me to catch the rope
And darling, I'm sorry that I had to let you sink
Into the lake where they'll never hear your screams
So trust me when I say it all just fell in place
And sometimes murder is just icing on the cake
And trust me when I say it's meant to be
I'll bring roses to your garden while you sleep under the tree

Oh I'll bring roses baby
While you sleep under the tree
Oh I'll bring roses baby
While you sleep under the tree

I never really meant to squeeze that hard, I got lost in
Feelings and lurked down in the dark
And sweetheart, I never really meant to stab that deep
It just seemed that you were so happy to bleed
So trust me when I say it all just fell in place
And sometimes murder is just icing on the cake
And trust me when I say it's meant to be
I'll bring roses to your garden while you sleep under the tree

Oh I'll bring roses baby
While you sleep under the tree
Oh I'll bring roses baby
While you sleep under the tree

Icing On The Cake ft. Gloom Darkheart

Intro
If you sleep before I rise, I'll paint my name behind your eyes
And when you wake, you'll speak in moans, of graveyards, soil and broken bones
If you scream, I'll hum instead a lullaby to raise the dead
So close your eyes, be still, be brave. Now hold your breath and dig my grave. 

I tracked you down through burning leaves
Through broken masks and screams. All on Hallows eve
I kissed the dirt, you spoke my name
And now you open the curse that you just can't escape
I found your house, your porchlight dead
The pumpkins watched me crawl where your footsteps led
I pressed my hand against the glass
And now I'll chip away until there's nothing left

This night won't end until the sun comes up or we're both undead
This story's told of how your grave is warm and babe, I'm oh-so-cold

I used to watch you from afar, your face a beacon in the dark
I'd trail behind you when you'd take a stroll around the local park
I'd watch the way you'd stop and stare at every little thing you'd see
Your eyes so kind, so full of wonder, how I wish they'd look at me
You can't imagine how my life turned upside down when you were gone
A tragic accident that took you from the world which you belong
And so I snuck into the morgue, your final resting place of peace
And took those peepers for myself, a little gift for me to keep
And every now and then, I'd put them in and see things through your eyes
Your friends, your house, your favorite flowers, and the bluest skies
And though you never looked at me, I know you meant to secretly
I see it all now through your eyes, the way that it was meant to be
But lately, I've been craving more, I just need you around
And so I tracked down where they buried you beneath the ground
An incantation stolen from the book of the Gloomnomicon
And just like that, from out your coffin came that scream-like song

This night won't end until the sun comes up or we're both undead
This story's told of how your grave is warm and babe, I'm oh-so-cold
This night won't end until the sun comes up or we're both undead
This story's told of how your grave is warm and babe, I'm oh-so-cold

Rituals and Resurrections ft. Gloom Darkheart

I've been tinkering with music since I was a kid, composing tunes for fun. Nowadays, I mainly write orchestral scores for video games. Alongside this, with an extensive career in the games industry as a tools programmer I've now focused my skills on developing next-generation sample libraries and music software.
