Pick up the pieces and throw them aside!

This was a co-write with a friend, Troy Utz, and it's about picking yourself up again when life has kicked sand in your face! We did a demo with a female singer thinking the song would be good as a kind of diva-pop epic, but it was bloody awful! As so often in life, the stripped-back version seems to work better here.

I hope the song helps anybody who is going through a hard time at the moment.

わが身ぬち
くちなわ　ありて
火のごとく
舌ひらひらと
焼き尽くす　みな

I have a serpent in my mind.
She sticks out her tongue like the fire, and burns everything down.

At Sixes And Sevens had several revisions. Originally, the opening of the piece was in 6/4 and the remainder of the song was in 7/4 (thus the title) but i didn't like the 6/4 feel. I decided to stay in 7/4 for the entire song (pretty much).
