(Verse 1)
In this world of chaos and greed
Where everyone's chasing what they need
There's a rare treasure that I hold
A precious gem, a heart of gold

(Chorus)
Heart of gold, shining bright
In a world that's lost its light
Heart of gold, shining bright
You will be my guiding star

Heart of gold, shining bright
In a world that's lost its light
Heart of gold, shining bright
You will be my guiding star

(Verse 2)
Through the storms and darkest days
You're my anchor, my guiding grace
When I'm lost, you help me find
The strength and courage to keep on trying

(Chorus)
Heart of gold, shining bright
In a world that's lost its light
Heart of gold, shining bright
You will be my guiding star

Heart of gold, shining bright
In a world that's lost its light
Heart of gold, shining bright
You will be my guiding star

(Bridge)
You're the light in the darkness
The warmth in the cold
Forever grateful for your kindness
You are my heart of gold

(Solo)

(Chorus)
Heart of gold, shining bright
In a world that's lost its light
Heart of gold, shining bright
You will be my guiding star

Heart of gold, shining bright
In a world that's lost its light
Heart of gold, shining bright
You will be my guiding star

Heart Of Gold

PLAGUE HELL  - A Coffin Called Earth

A Coffin Called Earth +

Part VI of the unfolding concept album.
In "Cognizance," the sixth chapter of the narrative, realization comes too late. Awareness doesn’t bring clarity—it breaks the mind.

The song follows the collapse of will and identity as the protagonist confronts truths that no one is meant to hold. Piece by piece, faith dissolves, and what’s left is numbness, self-inflicted pain, and a loop that never ends.

Lyrics

COGNIZANCE

torn apart
cannot unsee
colapsed heart brings numbing to limbs
projects
designs
long lost

over
cognizance
surpass
all flesh and mind

dissapointed
at what cost now you're here
piece by piece credence is over

over
cognizance
surpass
all flesh and mind

a lonely ride to perdition
figure the exit by yourself
turn off the lights where you're on
the circle repeats

self inflict
injuries that never heal
no turnning back, your fate is sealed

over
cognizance
surpass
all flesh and mind

open
understand
no man
can handle truth

Cognizance

I-Midsummer Ocean

Fun LOG inspired track hope your enjoy it !

Fist to the face

“Death” is the third single from Esipthycide’s upcoming concept album ”The Tunnel” — the final chapter as Part X of the album's narrative arc, this track explores the concept of death, which is the only certain thing in our lives.

Following the events of “Cognizance” (Part VI), Death is the finalization of all the thoughts and processes the protagonist has to go through.

DEATH

why we want to live anyways
every outcome is the same
the pursuit of happiness
I think of it with desdain

a final breath and your vision black
no more movement and the mind is blank
that's bound to happen predetermined

a fear inherited
it haunts you constantly
it grows as time's elapsed
insane alone from birth

a final breath and your vision black
no more movement and the mind is blank
that's bound to happen predetermined

this is my final breath
have had a meaning and
I know what's in my path
I know it's death

Death

S-Boom Chaka

I have been hearing so much AI music lately on SoundCloud and these  thoughts have been percolating with me for a while and finally they coalesced into a song. (created without the use of AI).

You got tired of struggling so hard to write a great original song
And then this amazing newfangled technology came along
Now you’re using AI to create music, and it’s a much easier process
And you’re convinced you found the ticket to achieving great success.
You tell yourself you’re a great artist because prompting takes a lot of skill
But deep down you know the AI did most of the work and you swallow the bitter pill
People complement you on your guitar playing and they tell you your voice sounds great
It makes you feel so good but you don’t ever set them straight
Those classic rockers used to write 10 or 12 good songs every couple of years
Now you’re posting two or three songs a day and hoping for a bunch of cheers
You’re rolling the musical dice, hoping you’ll come up with a catchy viral hit 
But there’s so much music flooding the internet that no one gives a shit
You tell yourself you’re a great artist because prompting takes a lot of skill
But deep down you know the AI did most of the work and you swallow the bitter pill
People complement you on your guitar playing and they tell you your voice sounds great, it makes you feel so good but you don’t ever set them straight
Some people believe we’re living in simulation and none of this is real
We’re just digital creations in a computer with the ability to feel
But even if that’s not the case, we’re quickly, heading to a place where no one’s going to be able to tell the difference.
You used strum your guitar, trying to capture lightning in a bottle and the songs that emerged came from you.
And now the songs you write with AI, what they’re saying, you don’t have a clue.
Music used to feel therapeutic, it was a window on your soul that you could share.
But now something feels missing because your songs no longer lay your heart bare.

Prompting Takes A Lot Of Skill

The intro has a nice growl    Hopefully I can remember it.

Hillbilly, Whiskey and an Electric Guitar

tried to write/record an entire song in less than an hour.

i failed.

it was more like two hours.

still, i don't hate the inevitable.

it's a lovable failure, i think...
