Shady Cicada - Before The World Dies

LYRICS

Yo, I'm feeling the Voodoo in my brain
I ain't feeling myself tonight
Walk in the beautiful rain
The World rotates around me
Let's start a path
Heres a little story that must be told
Elitist Charm, Elitist Karma

Yo, look into my evil eyes
A brilliant time and a tired guy
With a tame butler to execute
Hey you, just serve my world AIGHT?!
It's heavy here this atmosphere
A dramatic moonrise then a bite
Illusory Siamese struck with moonbeams
So you can't disguise

Yo cuttin' with this my rhyme, my sight, all time is on my side
Designed to get what and all I want in my life is a chance to rule AIGHT?!
A land without its mask is so lifeless
and filled with bizarreness so divine
With the MIdnight's judgment and the Vampire's ball
Now you fantasize

Heres the taste of the remedy (YEAH)
It's your despair you've got it?
(Oooo yes I've got it)
Got it? (Got it) Got it? (Yes I've got it)
Here's the taste of the remedy
It's your despair youve got it
(Oooo yes I've got it)
RUDIments gonna succeed 
YEAH

Look into my evil eyes
See something inside
Embracing the moment
Destroying you is the last thing on my mind
Freezing down my dark spine
Though I'm still trapped in this catastrophe
You wanna run away or wanna die?
Now subdued by my sadistic love
Oh this worlds so damn fine

Repeating this dance all over again
Their cries of power are evaporating
What immoral things? Craving love or lust?
The burning flames of the sun turn my body to dust
Now I’m knocking on the gates of heavenly light
A city shrouded in blood from a previous fight
Instead of heaven I am greeted by hell
The time has come for me to get off

Virgin blood…a touch so mellow
Wise men become slaves so get on get on
Imagine that… an end to sorrow
A Pagan world that has embraced the shadow
So howl, and roar, your sins are cut deep
Now you’ll shine brighter than any normal light
So your endless cycle with destiny's is a sign
That you are one that was cursed by time

Heres the taste of the remedy (YEAH)
It's your despair you've got it?
(Oooo yes I've got it)
Got it? (Got it) Got it? (Yes I've got it)
Here's the taste of the remedy
It's your despair you've got it
(Oooo yes I've got it)
RUDIments gonna succeed 
YEAH

Look into my evil eyes
See something inside
Embracing the moment
Destroying you is the last thing on my mind
Freezing down my dark spine
Though I'm still trapped in this catastrophe
You wanna run away or wanna die?
Now subdued by my sadistic love
Oh this worlds so damn fine

Look into my evil eyes
Dreaming on a lie
Somebody needs to justify
When ya cross that line you won’t know
There is no sunshine

Unlike pen and ink on a blank white page
The world is not black and white
An engraved star on the neck
It just suggests a guys mysterious side

4x (Heres a little story that must be told) 

A cast out, a fighter finds the find the cipha
I'm a pions guy who try to be
Destructive urges, Pleasure blooming, Senses blooming
Bite off Bite off
Violence, I write off goin' mad

[ZA WARUDO]

Look into my evil eyes
See something inside
Embracing the moment
Destroying you is the last thing on my mind
Freezing down my dark spine
Though I'm still trapped in this catastrophe
You wanna run away or wanna die?
Now subdued by my sadistic love
Oh this worlds so damn fine

Look into my evil eyes
Dreaming on a lie
Somebody needs to justify
When ya cross that line you won’t know
There is no sunshine

Unlike pen and ink on a blank white page
The world is not black and white
An engraved star on the neck
It just suggests a guys mysterious side

(3x) It just suggests a guys mysterious side

VOODOO KINGDOM English Cover

All credit for THIS version of the song goes to Sheet Music Boss, original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1cxSALoBVo

Cuphead OST - Floral Fury Piano

Composer: Ilan Eshkeri (The Sims 4) / Other composer on the album: Shigeru Umebayashi

This theme can be heard in the menu and at the end of the prologue. Tsushima Island is all that stands between mainland Japan and the massive Mongol invasion fleet led by Khotun Khan. Jin, a traditional samurai, is one of the last members of his clan standing after the first wave of Mongolian attackers. Determined to protect his home and people, Jin must abandon the orthodox ways of the samurai taught to him by his father, and instead utilize other methods of warfare to overcome the Mongols, earning him the moniker "The Ghost".

This is a shortened version (original track length: 2'51).

Ghost of Tsushima OST

Ghost of Tsushima OST - Jin Sakai

Composers: Joris de Man (Killzone series, Horizon series), James Marsden

Sequel to Velocity (2012), this sci-fi shoot 'em-up/platformer is better in every way, including its soundtrack (which was already great).

This is a shortened version (original track length: 4'26).

Velocity 2X OST

Velocity 2X OST - Frontier

Composer: Gerard Marino (GoW series) / Other composers on the album: Mike Reagan, Cris Velasco, Ron Fish

The best track to represent the saga and its music, with its powerful choirs that follow both rhythm and melody, making the orchestrations even more dizzying and fitting in perfectly with the epic fate of Kratos, the Spartan warlord who became a Greek god. The making of music https://youtu.be/wRyVH927yLk

This is a shortened version (original track length: 2'55).

God of War II OST

God of War II OST - Main Titles

Composer: Joe Hisaishi (Tengai Makyō II, NnK II: Revenant Kingdom, and composer of Studio Ghibli’s films) / Performer: Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra

Ni no Kuni was subtitled Dominion of the Dark Djinn on Nintendo DS (2010) then Wrath of the White Witch on PS3 in enhanced version (2011).

Ni no Kuni OST

Ni no Kuni OST - World Map

Composer: Nathan McCree (Tomb Raider II and III)

This theme, which uses a four-note motif, can be heard in the main menu and continues to appear through the game and series. In 1996, there was not enough space and budget for live orchestra recording, so the soundtrack was produced using synthesizers. To make the choir sound realistic, McCree inserted recordings of himself breathing at the right points.

This is a shortened version (original track length: 3'16).

Tomb Raider (1996) OST

Tomb Raider (1996) OST - Main Theme

Composer: Hans Zimmer (CoD Modern Warfare 2, Crysis 2, Honor of Kings) / Vocals: Miriam Stockley / Other composer on the album: Lorne Balfe
