Phew! That was one harrowing ride! In my opinion this is an epic! A story most of us wouldn't to hear with our morning cup of tea, but would psyche ourselves for greater excitement later in the night and hire a "serial-killer" movie! Beautiful music, and the vocals is perfectly measured...it transport you into a very sick mind created by sicker circumstances!    

alan parsons project style.. i like it and the voice too..greate

Very original: Great! I can hear every word, which is important...

the low vocal works so well with the big sound leon...great track...great lyric :)

this song is amazing, there's still real music being made ! :P

A big fun rock tune about a hit man. Featuring a strong vocal performance from Sean "Julio" Vance, some wild sax work from Ross Barrett and some nice lead guitar by Art Nesbit-Jones.

THE ASSASSIN  (words and music by Leon Portelance)

The assassin is in town 
You know he will not fail 
There's no use in running around 
He'll follow your every trail 
You'd better say your prayers 
And prepare yourself to die
He's itching for the kill 
And ten thousand dollar bills 

CHORUS: 
You're money for the hit man 
Money for the hit man 
Just money for the hit man 
The assassin is in town 

He's got your screaming, "murder!" 
but nobody's gonna hear 
You can't run on any further 
He caught you in the clear
His sights are in focus 
His finger's on the trigger 
He's got you in his eye 

CHORUS 

You thought you had it made 
'Till you gave yourself away 
The debt you haven't paid 
Is payable today 
When he takes out a contract 
He always gets his man 
If you wear the kiss of death 
You're money for the hit man 

A rich man, a poor man 
A pimp or a king 
The assassin guns 'em down 
From London and Paris 
To the USA 
The assassin gets around 

CHORUS

I have been a voice over artist for quite awhile. Clients have found my voice to be dignified, expressive, intelligent, inviting, luxurious, soothing, trustworthy and authoritative. Let me know what you think. I am always open for critique and suggestions. I can also do several accents i.e. British, Australian and Native American and more. All music beds are original and performed by me.

01 VO Demo - Chris Betts

Time on Earth as it is In Heaven

A long elaborately produced rock song that chronicles the life of a serial killer from abused childhood to lethal injection. Sort of a Pink Floyd meets Sgt. Peppers with a dash of Queen.

LYRICS:
_______________________________________________
SALVATION (Words and music by Leon Portelance)

He looked a little different
Than all the other kids
And though he tried to be their friend
They shunned him in the end

His daddy used to beat him
Every single day
When daddy went out drinking
Mommy had her way

Always a loner
Always alone
Dreaming about the things he would do
When he escaped from home

Seeking the pleasures of the lights
He looks out on the town
Where he was born many years ago
He finds a lady of the night
He doesn't know her name
But that's okay for his salvation
Salvation
For his salvation

Back at home he gets undressed
Hops into the shower
And tries to wash away the memory
Excitement lingers with the guilt
Of what he'd done
How many times must he find salvation?
Salvation
Must he find salvation?

Always a loner
Always alone
Thinking about the things he had done
Since he escaped from home

Her screaming echoes through the night
But no one can hear
From this place of isolation
She begs for mercy as he smiles
And what comes next
Is the key to his salvation
Salvation
The key to his salvation,

"I didn't kill those girls
I wouldn't hurt anybody
The voices
It was the voices in my head
The voices made me do it"

Finally, the courtroom is adjourned
The jury finds him guilty
On all counts of murder
Families of his victims took the stand
The anger in their eyes gave him no salvation
Salvation
No salvation

Twelve years slowly passes by
Waiting for his final day
Of deliverance
They put a needle in his arm
Strapped to a gurney
His slips sway, salvation
Salvation .  .  .
