War in Jalrune

Pigs of Legion

I’ve sailed the seven seas, 
I’ve searched the skies above,
I’ve shed my blood and tears,
Cause nothing comes without a price

From rotten roots it springs
In veiled despair it dwells
From withered flesh it nurtures 
Seeds of corruption and wicked lies

O Idiot Blind God,
What future do you see
Don’t hide behind the mask
Of benevolence, it never fooled me

What has no beginning nor end
Cannot truly be understood
A creation as flawed and obscene 
Must be extinguished, burnt down to its roots.

Burn it down to the roots.

Lost in the seven seas,
I prayed to the skies above,
For a light to guide my spirit 
I sacrificed all, for that was the price

Where nothing’s meant to remain
Desolation welcomes me home
As flesh heals, I become like thee
Ignorant, silent, and alone.

Seven Seas

Träume Sind Schäume

Just one phrase of bass may remind you of one famous legendary song, but it’s just your assumption!

Don’t say it’s Monday

Lyrics:

Part I
There is a minotaur,
Locked inside my head,
He wanders around my secret passageways.

No land,
No hint, 
Just a thread in my hand, 
Inside this Labyrinth.

A shadow crosses my sight, 
Where the branches break.
Then I found those crippling eyes,
It will keep me awake.

No land, 
No hint, 
Just a thread in my hand, 
Inside this Labyrinth.

Part II
Out in the darkness
He's waiting for a mistake,
I can't outrun this madness,
I have no escape.

Out in the darkness
They smell the blood of the prey,
Until the day of the heartless,
The Grave of betrayal.

Part III
When the night comes to you in a mirror,
Look around for the stone, 
You will find my name.
You will find my name.

Here 's your soul,
I give you freedom,
In the dawn,
You will find my name.
Find my name.

Part IV
No land,
No pain,
No blood in vain.

Part V
There’s was a minotaur,
Living in my head,
Sometimes I hear his ax swinging ,
But I don’t really care.

Labyrinth

Etude preparatoire; sketched on piano, for strings.
I post preparatory studies because I am the beneficiary of advice from much more accomplished composers here present, who generously offer me advice to help me attempt to improve, for which I am enormously grateful.

Preparatory Study for Strings (Piano)

A dark steampunk tale about a tragedy. 

Funnily enough, while I was recording this I heard this terrible yowling outside. There were two cats, yowling together, facing each other. It looked like they were a harmony group. Didn't sound like it though.

So, this song makes cats sing along. Make of that what you will.

A cover of @LawyerOnTheLoose brilliant song The Masquerade - An Original Fairground Barker's Chant (https://soundcloud.com/lawyerontheloose/the-masquerade-an-original-fairground-barkers-chant). I've tried to add my own take on the song, and modified here and there.

The Masquerade

A cover of Eno's "Fat Lady Of Limbourg" because I just love this song so much. My own interpretation and arrangement. Hope you enjoy.
