Omen of the Ostracized
**this is a song where I tried to combine symbolic apocalyptic elements from death metal with what people consider "emo" music**
Drowning in our fall,
watch as we all die,
our world is falling,
this is the epitome of humanity.
Speak of me not as one,
speak of me not as none,
speak not of me at all,
I want to know what you say.
I will reign amongst you as slaves,
this is what I have been reduced to,
everything's so fucking imperfect,
I will break these chains.
I know what you want,
I don't know what you say,
If I were blessed I would see,
If I could I would be.
Speak of me not as one,
speak of me not as none,
speak not of me at all,
I want to know what you say.
If I were holy,
I would smile,
If I were blessed,
I would live.
If I were happy,
I could be in her eyes,
protected by mortal angels,
so far away yet right at home.
What do you think of me,
I don't know,
and I care,
I will not lie.
I will reign amongst you all as your slaves,
I am many in one body,
I don't know what I will be,
Release your anger upon your tormented slave.
Speak of me not as one,
speak of me not as none,
speak of me not at all,
This torment is continual.
If angels could fly,
then I would not die,
if demons could not lie,
I would not cry.
[suspenseful build-up with guitars during this next verse as a lead in for the solo]
The skies,
will fall!
Upon,
us all!
[solo]
If I could just breathe again,
it would not be in vain,
I would be guarded in her eyes,
I would have her angel's touch,
I would not be corrupt,
If I...
[eerie echo/resonance]
<<Before reading the passage below, which is a definition of the song, please comment on what you thought the song meant and some constructive criticism if you have any. Thank you>>
--Basically, this is a song about my personal paranoia with people talking behind my back and my desire to know what everyone thinks of me and know what people think but don't say. This is also talking about how I am falling for my friend's girlfriend and how guilty I feel and how I wish I could feel her warm embrace and not feel guilty or "corrupted" for it. It's also using a personal example as a social message of how everyone treats each other like shit and how everyone in this world will one day "burn" as justice for their past actions. I ended the song with "If I..." because there is so much more regrets I have and things I wish I could change and things I wish I could be or do. The end basically symbolizes all of that and ends the song with sort of an eerie feel--
