Lyrics:

Spreading positivity
Through thoughtful creativity
Let will of Jesus guide my heart
In this I gain new clarity
I am a different kind of mage,
Reject all malice; cruelty; rage,
Refuse to be in devil’s cage
Instead I aim for purity
With purpose, crafting rhythms
That I see as correct,
In everything, the lead and drums,
And how they all connect
There is a very ordered state,
In what you call my oddities,
But I think my eccentricity
Creates the best of melodies
x2
(In all the work we undertake)
(He’s there, helping us)
(Let God, guide your heart)
(God’s will guides my heart)

Shaping each noise from humming lightning
Teaching my robots how to sing well
Sounds like a droning choir of floppies
In actual fact, three oscillators
Love casting music, I’m a synth mage
Space sounds fly wildly out from the stage
When I’m inspired, I have no limits
Aiming for sound waves with uniqueness
So many synths, when combined they make brand new sounds,
I think that’s cool, let me try and add one more module,
Slowed down my DAW right to a crawl
When I export it, I’m enthralled
I’m a go-getter, I’m relentless
I do not tend to settle for less
I used to be a mere apprentice,
When it all clicked, it was tremendous

…Let me mesmerise you for a sec
(Did it work? I hope so, that wasn’t tested yet)
Let me show you these muso tricks
Here’s some more I’ve got up my sleeves
Bit-crushing parts to sound so retro
Layer synth noises, add crescendo
Have so much fun creating tunes
Catching shooting stars with harpoons
Grand arpeggios like cascading waterfalls
Melting sounds of detuned chip bits
Turn up distortion, push up that drive
All of this process brings me alive
Love casting music, I’m a synth mage
Space sounds fly wildly out from the stage
(Let God, guide your heart)
(God’s will guides my heart)

More drums! 175 bpm
Found the original poetry track by @ladyofire while searching for ‘open collab’. It’s surprising what amazing things you can find on SoundCloud!

If anyone thinks I must have been depressed to write such a sad tune it's not true - I was just seeing what came from augmented chords (I III sharp V)
