Inspired by the legendary game from 1995: Hexen (my all time fav - I know, who cares). This track is absolutely recorded without any quantization (of course, the drumline is programmed). I hope you enjoy this one as well!

BRAND

marks upon my body
secrets i can't tell
symbol of oppression
cast under a spell

stole my independence
turned me to a slave
i won't be afraid again

bound me with your violence
scarred me with your brand
forced me into silence
i had to take a stand

call me by my name
i won't be ashamed
i won't be afraid again 

i am a survivor
i will break the chain
i belong to no-one
call me by my name

love hope bravery
free from slavery
i won't be afraid again

Come April  				c. 2020 by M. A. Manetz

V1
On these four gray walls I've painted her picture with my mind.
Holdin' her in my dreams the only comfort I can find.
One more lonely winter in this cold and lonely place.
The only thing that's kept me sane is the memory of her face.

Chorus
Come April, I'll make it better,
Come April, it'll be so fine.
Come April, I'll make it up to her,
Come April, she'll be mine.

V2
Six months in this prison, six months till I'm free,
Six months since her last letter, does she still care for me?
My brother came to see me, said she's movin' to L.A.,
I tell myself come April, I'll find a way to make her stay.

Chorus

Bridge
Am I a fool to think that she would ever wait for me?
I don't blame her for leavin', but yet I still believe...

Chorus

Come April
