Here is my cover of Paragon, originally by NuKeMOuT.
This song was formerly known as "Sanctity", the temporary title given to it whilst the original name and artist was unknown. The song was solved in August 2020. We found it had been created and originally uploaded to Newgrounds by NuKeMOuT, also known as Aaron Newcomb. However, we were also devastated to learn that he had unfortunately passed away on July 14th 2019, after a long battle with stomach cancer.
KZfaqr/Discord legend Nonoseacrest suggested I make a cover as a form of tribute. I was working on other projects at the time, but really enjoyed the song and thought it would be a wonderful idea. Over many weeks, I spent countless hours trying to recreate the amazing sounds and complicated rhythms NuKeMOuT used, trying to match his distinct style and sound. But, as I got closer and closer to finishing, I realised I was merely copying something that was already perfect. I didn’t want to just copy what NuKeMOuT had already achieved and done so well. I decided to instead, cover his song in a different style. The original is a hauntingly beautiful EBM/hardcore industrial rock song. I hope you enjoy my tribute to Aaron. Please do check out his original, as well as his other music.
RIP Aaron Newcomb 1983-2020

Official lyrics:
Felt your centre atrophy
You find your centre within me
Exposing of my fallacy
Will destroy your privacy
Salute the flag I wave at you
Open up and let it through
You are one amongst the few
Invest in me, I know you do
What are you waiting for?
Darkness to rise again?
Ever expanding whore
Paragon of sin
I am the sanctity that you know
Or I will bludgeon to control
What are you waiting for?
Darkness to rise again?
Ever expanding whore
Paragon of sin

I send my condolences to you & your families, I myself only heard his music this year, I like it a lot! Now, the high vocals on Aaron's original, are they his or another vocalist's? Perhaps yours? 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for recording this. I was close friends with Aaron (Nukemout) for about 25 years. I can assure you that he would have loved this cover. It's a shame that he's not around to hear it.
