Another song. This one is a little different. It started with the verse riff, which was written on guitar, but I decided to just have being pounded out by organ and bass. When trying to write out the organ I realised that the riff was of an odd length, and therefore it is kinda a different time signature. The other riffs and melodies were written around this.

The whole song is based around the “flat fifth” or “diabolus in musica”. The song does reference the infamous use of said interval in the Black Sabbath song Black Sabbath in more ways than one. The bridge was my attempt at a Zakk Wylde style riff to reference the modern stuff off Ozzy, and to balance out the lack of guitar thru most of the song.

The lyrics are serial killer-esque, with the killer struggling to understand and then embracing his “destiny”. Although the chorus implies that he isn’t completely in control, and is being influenced by external forces to commit whatever unnamed acts it is that he is perpetrating.
Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Once Again
Duration has been mislaid
Temporal
Schizmatic lacuna
Confusion
Unknown activities
Tenebrous
Ephemeral amnesia
Evidence
Clothing sanguinary
Demonic
Is evil controlling me

Chorus:
Chosen one, we awake, possession, we will take
Kill ‘em all, spread dischord, under our thrall, swing the sword
Hand of doom, eyes of fire, from our tomb, evil inspire
Chosen one, we awake, possession, we will take

Verse 2:
Compulsion
A kind of thaumaturgy
Impetus
Baneful inclination
Surrender
Embrace my destiny
Unify
With daemon interior
Entropy
Futile is refusal
Murderous
Carnage proclivity
