Tryglav - The Redemption

[VERSE 1]:
I drank the blood of the innocent
I don't know why they came to me to die
I don't know why they make me feel alive
But they did not return

(They did not return)

Before the fire continued to burn
And I can finally learn
The one and only final burial
In your corpse-ridden grave
Is the beast in its cave

(The beast in its cave)

[TAG]: 
(No one will ever hear you scream
I am the demon feature of your brightest dreams)

[CHORUS]:
Charred, brittle skeletal cadavers
We drank them dry and soiled their young

My hatred and my ego United
The gate lock latches shut with no escape

Shut with no escape

Hecatomb!

Hecatomb!

Welcome to the Killing Fields!

[VERSE 2]: 
You're the one who's free to scream
Another victim of your dreams
All the mem’ries that you can't redeem
In a world full of schemes
This is not what it seems

(It’s not what it seems)

The rot of frozen flesh, decaying 
Meat and sinews green with molding
As the deep earth's kiss embraces 
Blood-soaked loam and corpse grass
The only markers of these nonexistent graves

(Nonexistent graves)

[TAG]:
(No one will ever hear you scream
I am the demon feature of your brightest dreams)

[CHORUS]:
Charred, brittle skeletal cadavers
We drank them dry and soiled their young

My hatred and my ego United
The gate lock latches shut with no escape

Shut with no escape

Hecatomb!

Hecatomb!

Welcome to the Killing Fields!

[INSTRUMENTAL/SOLO]

[BREAKDOWN CALLOUT]:
WELCOME TO THE KILLING FIELDS!!

[VERSE 1]:
What have I done?
What have I now become?
It's never ending

The form I knew
Gone, but perfection renewed
My time is finished

Answering my endless questions
I thought I had conquered fiction

Once, I had the answers laid bare:
It was too late; perfectly fair

[PRE-CHORUS]:
I was, but now I am
I hate this place, so calm

I desire
Hellfire
There is no fire
To quench my hate

[CHORUS]:
The lifting of the Veil
My eyes are freed from their scales
False idea of this Hell
Outer Darkness, I fell

Perfect memories of sin
Regret that burns deep within
My silent inner Gloom
This is the Coming of the Doom

[VERSE 2]:
Realizing too late
A cold and lonely fate
The perfect system

Darkness closing in
Oppression of the soul in sin
The WORD Eternal

Quiet, misty, deep agony
Comprehended reality

Realizing Truth eternal
No return to what was normal

[PRE-CHORUS]:
I was, but now I am
I hate this place, so calm

I desire
Hellfire
There is no fire
To quench my hate

[BREAKDOWN 1]:
There is
Unrelenting freezing here

Cold, dark
Oppressive, lonely nightmares

I
Only wish for suicide!

But
I am never going to die!

There is
Unrelenting freezing here

Cold, dark,
Oppressive, lonely nightmares

There is
Unrelenting freezing here

Cold, dark,
Oppressive, lonely nightmares

[SOLO]

[FINAL BREAKDOWN]:
DEPART FROM ME!
I NEVER KNEW YOU!

Mark says - 
In the 5 years I have been working with Rod, I have been encouraged to reach as far as my experience allows me to, with complete support at all times. So far we have completed 11 songs and have experimented with several others that made for a great learning curve for me, with several more at other stages of development... Watch this space, however as we are methodical and patient, therefore it may take some time to get them off the ground.

The subject matter of this song may be based on a different scenario but it is also a token of my gratitude to my inspirational collaborator and friend Rod, who has given me much confidence to rise to the ambition of his musical creativity and meticulous arrangements. Thank you all for giving this song your time.

Rod says - 
This song was conceived a long time ago to be sung in Spanish, but Mark did a magnificent adaptation with his English lyrics, and the meaning is 100% faithful to the original spirit, even though he hadn't heard the original song in Spanish. Technically, there are three voices together, consolidating a multi-vocal performance. The synth sounds emulate my old analog and FM synths, and the guitars were routed through an old console to achieve the vintage sound I was looking for.

Thank You (Rodolfo Planes/Mark J Bennett)

I would like to tell you just how grateful I am,
And also how important you’ve been here in my life.
I know I don’t need to draw you a diagram,
Thank you for being there all this time as my wife.
I have to tell you just how good you’ve been for me,
And I hope that I have also been there for you,
When you needed me through all this trouble and strife.
 
No need to show me all of your gratitude,
I already know how much you show that you care,
When you were prepared to move to my latitude,
Then I was convinced I was ready to share,
My life with you whatever it threw at the both of us.
I know that it’s true, no matter what you care to say.
I’ll always need to express all of my thanks to you 
This will always be true on that I swear.
 
I would like to tell you just how grateful I am,
And also how important you’ve been in, in my life.
I have to tell you just how good you’ve been for me,
And I hope that I have also been there for you,
When you needed me through all this trouble and strife.
Then I was sure that I was ready to share,
My whole life with you, whatever that meant for the both of us.
I know that it’s true, whatever you say.
