Shards of Vermilion Glass

Liner Notes
#metal #deathmetal #blackmetal #thrashmetal #mnet A last hurrah. Took Friday off from work to run some errands and to have more time to write one more song. Wasn't feeling all that inspired, however, and so I let the song sort of write itself with not a lot of thought going into the structure. When I got the lyrics down, I at last started to feel like it was halfway decent.
Lyrics
Shards of glass that pierced the skin Drink deep of my life's essence The shadows closing in They heed my call This violent communion A formless ritual The chalice runneth over I shall partake
The pane of glass is smashed Tears of my jugulars They weep forevermore Over this broken husk Deep in the knowing of dreams In the darkness of this world Echoes a venomous chant Which reveals eternity
Blood is ash that stains the sun I feed on your nightmares What trickles down my chin Tarnishes your soul Malignance festering Nestles in a worthless heart Radiant and undisturbed None shall remain
Does the glass stain me Do I stain the glass
The red that I shed The breath that is my last Unquiet I remain As I return to ash Silence my harrowing cry Wrap me in pure white cloth Witness how I'm reborn Shards of vermilion glass

Nice one! Some of the tremolo sections give me Amon Amarth vibes (in a good way). Great lyrics and delivery.

The stops on the second section are great. Your vocals sound great here. The chunky riff on the glass stain section is hooky, but then there are so many great riffs here.

Congrats! Happy to see that you finished fawm with a real solid set of songs. The part with the pauses was ridicilously fun to listen to.

Great groove in the riffs! Like noted before, the "stop and go" section is a very nice hook.
