The main inspiration from this song came from a dumb riff pattern I messed around with years ago but wasn't really good enough to play it properly and keep it consistent.
I also asked my very talented friend Loam to solo over the 10/8 section and he absolutely killed it. (who just so happens to be releasing a music video today!
Go check it out: • Loam / Choose Your Fig... )
Lyrics:
( Honestly, the vocals are just there to fill a space so don't think about them too much)
Beneath the eerie glow,
I'm lost in the endless show.
Trials beyond compare I face,
Each death consumed by pure disgrace.
In every corner lurk horrors dread,
That leave my mortal soul in dread.
Consumed by this dark obsession,
I'm lost in utter possession.
Despite the pain, I press on still,
The addiction has consumed my will.
Though countless deaths have left me broken,
I won't concede, my spirit's not yet stolen.
For in the challenge lies a hidden bliss,
A twisted solace in the abyss.
What lies beyond is a rare release,
A catharsis in a world of ceaseless disease.
Am I too far gone
In this endless cycle
Feed this obsession
Feel this possession
Cast my soul aside
Nowhere left to hide
Through this aggression
Achieve Ascension
