Part 6.

The End.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Darkness defeats me
Chaos controls me
These things I have
Brought on myself

Chorus 1:
Drowning, I’m drowning
Falling, I’m falling

Verse 2:
Pain penetrates me
Failure follows me
These things I have
Wrought on the world

Verse 3:
Disease dominates me
Entropy escapes me
These things I have
Spread to the world

Chorus 2:
This is all my fault
I took the first step
This is all my fault
Oh why did I not see?
Where this would
Where this would
Where this world ends?

Chorus 3:
Infect the world
Infect the world
Infect the world
You must choose, wolf or sheep
You must choose, wolf or sheep
You must lose, wolf or sheep

Part 5.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
You’ve missed the point
We had a point?
It was just a game
It was just a fling
It was just a flame
It was just a sting
Why did we stop?
Why don’t they stop?

Chorus:
Crust it over
Rust it over
Make it over
Truth is nowhere

Verse 2:
I’ve missed the brake
Feel the world shake
It was not a test
It was not holy
It was not blessed
It was just folly
We are now free
Why can’t they see?

Lyrics:

Their blood is on my hands
My blood is on my hands

Coda:
This is my blood
This is your blood
This is our blood

And now for something completely different…. or not.

Unlike my previous entries in the uncovered series, this is a song that you’d expect me to do. Since it is September, and Metallica is about to release a new album, I thought I’d cover one of their tunes.

I picked Motorbreath because it was the first song that I taught myself…. The one that I practised for hours on end to get the speed and technique (and bad habits) that form the bedrock of my guitar playing. After this I had all I needed to tackle pretty much any other song I wanted. This is me kicking it oldskool, getting back to my roots…. and playing something that is fast, heavy and full of attitude.

Don’t stop for nothing, it’s full speed or nothing….

Part 3.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Burning through
My blood
Burning brew
Breaking chain
My acts
Breaking brain
Twisting view
my mind
Twisting who
No abstain
My thoughts
No complain

Chorus:
Feel the scratch
Be the scratch
Feel the scratch
Me the scratch

Verse 2:
Ending clue
My life
Ending coup
Spreading stain
My hate
Spreading pain
Releasing new
My death
Releasing you
All again
My love
All insane

Part 2.

An Instrumental.

Wanna get rowdy….
Gonna get a little unruly….
Get it fired up in a hurry….
Wanna get Dirrty….

Me covering Christina Aguilera.

This could be the coolest thing ever…. or the biggest insult to metal since Pat Boone’s “In A Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy”.

Anyway, give it a listen, tell your friends…. and then maybe contact those men in white suits to take me away because I’ve finally lost it

Another concept album…. of sorts…. to be released in its various parts as it is written…. around whatever else I might do.

No more explanations will be given, the music will speak for itself.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Hello….
What is that?
Echo….
What is that?

Chorus:
Where did that come from?
There is no one else

Verse 2:
Voices….
Who is that?
Noises….
Who is that?

Verse 3:
Crawling….
Why is that?
Falling….
Why is that?

To quote the wikipedia:

A juggernaut is a term used to describe a force regarded as unstoppable, that will crush all in its path.

The word is derived from the Sanskrit Jagannātha (meaning “Lord of the universe”) which is one of the many names of Krishna from the ancient Vedic scriptures of India.

Obviously (at least to those who’ve listened to some of my previous works like the classic unicorn) I’m not using it in the religious sense. I’m more using it for the meaning it has obtained in the English version.

The song itself is drawing on musical influences from Hindu music, or at least my widely limited musical experiences of such music. It is an instrumental, mainly because when I grow up I want to be Joe Satriani (or at least play on the G3 tour). Plus the song is weird enough without me adding any lyrics….
