Periphery - "Frak The Gods"

Submitted for Trey's Songwriting Contest. Lyrics below

LYRICS:

away, we drift away
so far from the other side, i know
everchanging
a modest way to stay
far from the other side 

and where to drift away 
against the tide of neverending things to need
and no one seems to see 
how lonely we became
to feel the hands that keep us safe and pray
so blame it on the strain

away we drift, unknowing of our path
i know
a way to bless this pulse we've laid to waste
another day has left this earth today
again
uneven, though unwavering, we persist 

'cause when i think about the endless play
cover thy eyes and just stay
and when we think we ought to stick to script
just for the sake of trying
our desires are made to be let go
simply to know like it's a part of all
and when we felt this violent silence rise inside our thoughts
thinking back, we just need to drift away

what does it mean to stay
to lay against the thought of things you wish you could've been
another life ago 
suddenly, everything will fade 

away we drift, unknowing of our path
i know
a way to bless this pulse we've laid to waste
another day has left this earth today
again
uneven, though unwavering, we persist 

away, we drift away
so far from the other side, i know
everchanging

Away

Another mixtest with the new Axe-FX II Quantum Firmware and the Metal Machinery SDX, playing a section of 'The Bad Thing' by Periphery. I've tuned up a step to BADGBE (lol, there's even the word 'Bad' in the tuning) because my 6 strings are always in standard or drop D, not drop C.

Made a few tweaks to the drums and the overall mix. I'm still trying to get the levels right and the drums also seem to jump up in volume during fills, but it's something that I'll get in time I think!

 Pennsylvania purveyors of metal BLACK CROWN INITIATE have unveiled a brand new track today titled "For Red Cloud" exclusively at Metalsucks.net. It is the first bit of new music we've heard from the band since the release of their previous LP in 2014. Guitarist Andy Thomas calls the song "a statement of the psychological enslavement of the modern world, and a tribute to those who resisted being enslaved. We will never become the storm of change that our world needs. Our children will never know what true freedom feels like, and we surely don't, either."
BLACK CROWN INITIATE will release Selves We Cannot Forgive on July 22, 2016 via Entertainment One Music (eOne). The tracklist and visually mindbending cover art created by Travis Smith (Opeth, Devin Townsend, Avenged Sevenfold) can be seen below. "We've been through a great deal as a band since our last release," says Thomas. "We've grown a great deal as writers, players, and people and put everything we had into this one." 

Recorded and mixed by Carson Slovak & Grant McFarland (August Burns Red, Texas In July, From Ashes To New) at Atrium Audio Recording Studio’s in Lancaster PA, Selves We Cannot Forgive will be the follow up to the buzzworthy debut LP The Wreckage of Stars released at the end of 2014. The Wreckage of Stars also propelled the band into the international touring act it is today. BCI quickly found themselves on the road with the likes of Behemoth, Deicide, Napalm Death and Voivod.  

Selves We Can Not Forgive, the band’s sophomore album with Entertainment One, is a lean and focused collection that jettisons the extraneous fat found too often within ambitious metal bands, striking a balance between fearless adventurousness and methodical might. It follows The Wreckage of Stars, which together with their self-financed Song of the Crippled Bull EP introduced Black Crown Initiate’s unapologetic exploration of everything from Friedrich Nietzsche and Greek Sophist Gorgias to Hinduism, Buddhism, and indigenous mysticism, with a pragmatic skepticism.
