This is a classical piano piece very different from the metal I write for Splintered Halo. Currently torn as to whether to add vocals or leave it as an instrumental.

The Waltz Of Tears

I had a lot of requests to add vocals to the Waltz and at the same time a lot of people wanted me to keep it as an instrumental - so I'll leave both up! Lyrics below
The Waltz of Tears
Is there a point where something is so damaged
That it’s cracked beyond repair?
Or will it always be that love overtakes reason?
Just a puppet in this dance of despair

You’ll always hate me
Drown me, shatter and break me
Your victim eternally
For I am all you have
     
This misery is self-inflicted
I could save myself
And though I know it’s true, still I dance with you
I forsake myself

I’m always reaching, 
But always falling
Compassion’s a weakness
I cannot abandon you
You’ve always been mine
And I’ve always been yours
To abuse, to disdaiin
To get the worst words from your mouth 

Is there a point where I have to give in?
Take all my strength away
And if I leave this who would you hate then?
Can you find someone who will stay?

You’ll always hate me
Drown me, shatter and break me
Your victim eternally
For I am all you have

And so I’ll dance this waltz with you
I said forever and that was true
Your heart is cold, mine is yours to use
You leave it broken, battered, bruised


The Waltz of Tears (with Vocals)

Cover of Motionless in White's Sinematic.

Sinematic

This is a cover of Elvis Presley's Can't Help Falling in Love, with a twist - it's the story of a girl possessed by a demon, but she's happy about it. I've changed parts from a major to a minor key to fit the demon/possessee duet/seranade vibe :D 

The arrangement is my own, I played all guitars on this and did all the vocals. It's a bedroom recording project and my sound engineering leaves a lot to be desired so apologies in advance!
