Ginza - (Japanese Miyakobushi scale with Reason Rack)

incorporated a guitar w/ a reverse delay
5/24/2022 - mix 3
Mixed this using Reaper and NetVSTHost, so the plugins(all the reverbs and the master bus) are running on 3 separate computers, with the master bus going through a windows xp machine w/ UAD cards, the reverbs running on a laptop, and the synth and DAW running on a mini pc. Thankfully NetVSTHost is built on older code so it still supports windows XP so I was able to use my old UAD plugins and get some WARMTH

This song describes a massive land battle between the armies of Ramses iii and a mysterious army of "sea people" who had destroyed everything in their path and marched on the Egyptian kingdom. Egypt would prevail but the effort of the battle and the surrounding chaos foreshadowed their decline.  Lyrics : 

Massacre, by a ruthless army
from the burning wasteland of the north
Surrounding our kingdom like the coils of Apep
A wave of chaos burns the earth

Crushing the Hittites , razing Amurru
Their armies overwhelemeed
A trail of ashes and misery
headed towards our realm

Kingdoms reduced to rubble
scriptures burned , statues defaced
a wasteland of fear and darkness
civilizations erased

the wisdom of ancestors
destroyed in their wake
They've come to annhilate us
civilization itself is at stake

A massive army marches upon our kingdom
An expanding wave of suffering and death

 [chant]
maahes ! maahes !
Summon The lion-headed Scarlet Lord, to unleash torrents of arrows
Summon the eye of Ra to burn away the shadows
Summon the mighty Thoth to help us outwit the aggressor
May Maahes bring us victory and banish Apep forever

(breakdown)
And there they stand across the distant plain in their shiny armour
Many of them own't live another day

the battle begins, the arrows rain down cutting my enemies to shreds
the infantry armed with the knife of Maahes to slay them and sever their heads
the nubian fighters attack showering them with a storm of spears
our charioteers cut through their ranks charging forth without fear
the sea people put up a brave fight in a bloody battle of attrition
at lsat they retreat the legions of apep forever banished to perdition

victorious but joyless,
our kingdom a spent force
the armies of chaos defeated
yet chaos still runs its course

Apep emerges from the shadows
the life blood of the empire stalls
our kingdom contracts and the world turns black
as he slowly tightens his coils

My charioteers are warriors , ready of hand. Their horses were quivering in their every limb,
    ready to crush the nations of Apep under their feet...
    Those who reached my boundary, their seed is destroyed; their heart and soul are finished forever and ever.
