BLOODLINE OF JUDAH

I don’t think you understand the situation your in 
No one but yourself can forget what you did
The impiety committed on the human identity 
Morality was never gifted to your psychology 
I watched you creeping at the edge of the line
Faded judgment you call “a piece of fog in your mind”

Live a second life full of depression, guilt, anguish 
Even suicide is seeming sublime
I’ll be the one who responds to your pain
I’ll make it fair and play along with an answer in kind
It never mattered how much you were willing to change
Redemption was in sight that even your own patience denied
Left a trace of your previous life you slowly tread across your trenches with no sign of caution
Bringing end to the strain
Stick a needle in a vain and let you lay quietly dormant

Then I’ll drag your head across the pavement
It’s a matter of time
Delusion at the peak, a cursed desire you’re fighting 
It’s so depressing that you’re constantly trying
to ascend yourself and cross into a state of undying
To trespass into domain of the Gods
To tear apart the fabric of primordial law
I understand I have no right to be the judge
But I guess we’ll see what the ghost inside of does

To never let go of your pain
And made the innocent endure and perceive
The total disrespect you wreak upon mortality bearers 
The nature of your soul is one of fantasized sanguinary
Now I’m forced to be your personal adversary 
The point ain’t worth the risk of set climactic catastrophe
Being feared as a threat to society 
But as cunt with asininity
You ain’t shit to me

It’s a matter of time
Delusion at the peak, a cursed desire you’re fighting 
It’s so depressing that you’re constantly trying
to ascend yourself and cross into a state of undying
To trespass into domain of the Gods
To tear apart the fabric of primordial law
I understand I have no right to be the judge
But I guess we’ll see what the ghost inside of does 


WANNABE REVEREND [prod. TAKIZAVA]

This is the music of Gravity Storm's final encounter with the Mother Computer. Programmed only to destroy, it cannot fathom Gravity Storm's comprehension of human emotions and feelings. I wrote this theme with that sense of underlying tragedy in the emptiness of the Mother Computer's existence. It recognizes human emotion but is unable to make sense of it. 

The theme encapsulates the extreme threat this enemy poses with the threatening voices and heavy drums in the intro, but the guitar solo in the middle switches the song's mode from phrygian to minor in a brief moment of levity before the threat of the boss reasserts itself.

BPM: 150
Key: C# Phrygian

lyrics:
the wind blows through my window view 
we passed around a joint for a round or two 
and we drove to the wrong town too 

i watched the taillights with my companions 
i watched the shop signs through the trees 
this one says pepsi-cola, home depot, starbucks coffee 

can i talk about peacefulness? 
in a world in which peace don't exist 
but we drove to the wrong town 
and i made some peace with it 
true freedom to me 
is sleeping in on the weekends 
when some people's idea of freedom 
is housing their family and feeding them 

i have the freedom 
to let love haunt me 
while some folks don't have the freedom 
just to eat what they want to 
how can i go on singing 
when my life ain't at risk? 
and do I confuse peacefulness 
with privilege?

i am walking away now
whats more selfless than all of my self doubt
third degree burns along my back
what i carry to make up for what i lack

i can bloom in solitude
might come easy inside this tiny room
bind me to the old beaten path
fear of losing what i don't even have
