Alone I Stand (Original)

[Saijinn Maas]

Well... My fingers weren't exactly healed completely, but I went ahead and recorded anyway! Wasn't too bad... Only had bandages on two of my finger still. Only got a little blood on my guitar, but hey, it's rock n roll right?!

As for the song... hmm... Not sure I am getting the mixing right still. It's a big ole pain in the A!!!

As always, any feedback is most appreciated.

ALONE I STAND

INTRO

Here alone I stand
As the voices call me out
Piercing to the bone
As the pain begins to shout

Open wounds they tell
Of painful dissolution
Cannot ease the pain
Of my mind's execution

I don't know why
They are holding me
To the dark I see

And I will try
To resist the urge
The pain I cannot purge

The only peace I find
Is at the bottom of a flask
But the voices call
From behind an angel's mask

And I don't know how
Long that I can take this
But it's calling me
to hate's eternal bliss

I don't know why
They have choosen me
This dark reality

I know they lie
I hope it's not too late
My thoughts they fill with hate

SOLO

BREAK

Chaos fills my head
As I try to hold it back
I don't mourn the dead
Because they cannot hear my laugh

I will not give in to
Their horrid spoken lies
And I know I'll win
The battle deep inside

I will survive
I'll resist the hate
That is not my fate

I will survive
Fight it to the end
Here alone I stand

Excellent! Strong and metalic sound and filthy voice. Love dark sound you created.

[Tangled Wires]

This is excellent, that vocal effect goes really well with the guitars.

This site is amazing, you hear songs like this that are ten times better than new songs you hear on the radio etc

Brilliant well structured and melodic song..well done

Where the hell did you come from, man!!? This was fantastic! Very clean and direct rhythm with some sweet vox. And wicked cool lead!! You have been knocking out some serious posts, lately.

I thought the mix was pretty good - tried on cheapo pc speakers and some pretty decent headphones. Will try in the vehicle later.

Looks like you know how to handle the silver brick very well

Ah... I see you're back to 'business as usual' after a bit of romance!  

Great tone and playing. And as always, you're able to make 'heavy' nice and melodic. Very cool.

Cool track like your metalic rock vocal on this with the menecing guitar nice work
