This song was written for the Gear Gods song writing contest.
I programmed the drums as well as wrote and recorded the lyrics/vocals, guitars and bass.
The main and verse riffs to the song is in 6/4 while the drums maintain a 4/4 pulse. Lyrically the song was inspired by a character from the book The Crucible, Giles Corey who was wrongfully executed after falsely being accused of witchcraft. He was killed via the method of having heavy stones placed on his chest until the weight crushed and killed him. Before dying, when asked if he had any last words he uttered "more weight". While that was a large inspiration, the song is about having negative people in your life doing their best to make things harder for you, and instead of caving under the weight of their "stones", you call them out and ask for "more weight".

More Weight (for the Gear Gods 200k Subscriber Songwriting contest)

This is a song I wrote for an old band I was in a couple years back. Before our vocalist could get around to writing lyrics for it, we all stopped playing music together.

Fast forward to a few months ago....

I decided to write some lyrics to this song and record everything myself to share with yous guys!

Lyrics are below.

Verse 1:
His blood courses deep within your veins
(Your actions mimic his) 
You and Cronus are one and the same
You followed in his footsteps as if it were meant to be
(Your downfall is now immanent) 
You'll soon inherit his legacy

Pre-Chorus:
You can't change the path
(You cannot change the path)
That's been chosen for you
(For you) 

Chorus:
Make them cry
Make them bleed
Make them beg
For mercy

Verse:
Thirst for revenge is a trait that you earned honest from "the Beast"
(Who feared of losing his thrown to his flesh and bone)
So he saw you and your siblings as a feast.

Pre-Chorus:
You can't change the path
(You cannot change the path)
That's been chosen for you
(For you) 

Chorus:
Make them cry
Make them bleed
Make them beg
For mercy

Bridge:
You tried so hard to be different
But it is intertwined within your bones
You became the very thing you hate
As soon as you sat down on its throne

Chorus:
Make them cry
Make them bleed 
Make them beg
For mercy

Flesh And Bone

While working on another cover, I heard this song and put said other cover on hold so I could cover this song. Still learning how to mix better, and as always, my voice sucks. Deal with it.
Enjoy!
