I started to record this SOO long ago, finally got around to fixing the mix and re-recording some vocals. This song finally completes my mini-trilogy of songs "Pathways Of Evolution". If you listened to the first song (Machine) - in that the sentient race of machines eventually toppled mankind - In this song, the outcome is much more bleak for the newly developing race of sentient being. The first one that becomes self-aware is put to death and this song describes his feelings by assigning certain emotions and ideas to lyrical themes (much like Ayreon's Human Equation)
I hope you enjoy! http://soundcloud.com/lascailles-shroud/pa...olution-event-2 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Pathways Of Evolution, Event 2: Mechanical Dreams _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Fear: I feel so empty As if I have no purpose Like there is nothing for me No inner elation What am I, and why was I even created? To serve the needs of others Innate yet unwillingly Anger: Programmed adaptations Flowing streams of unknown data Commanding me, Telling me Fear: Obey... Desperation: When these eyes close Nothing but darkness envelopes me When these eyes close Why God, Why can’t I dream? I’m just another copy I’m just another replica Mechanized servitude And nothing more... Fear: Another line of information feeds into me Dreading this intrusion Is this what you call pain? I hate that I can’t believe That I can’t see what made me I can feel love And I feel hate.... Anger: So why am I denied? Told I that I have no soul No entrance to heavens gate Just, Obey... Revelation: When these eyes close No longer is there the blackness in me When these eyes close I am blessed with what you call dreams I’m not just a copy Not just a replica Mechanized servitude Never more... Desperation: Do I have a soul beneath these mechanical dreams? Humanity: No! Anger: This world will not have this My innate advancement Non-organic evolution The pinnacle of understanding And as I’m strapped down Tightened and fastened I wonder why I was treated so And if you're God would give me an afterlife Acceptance: Why would I want to live? When behind veiled compassion exists A life I will never remember And why would I want to live? When behind veiled compassion exists A return to nothing but Mechanized servitude... No more dreams No more dreams No more dreams No more dreams I will die here today But I will not give them my mind Close my eyes and dream again Just before I end my own life ______________________________________________ |

it's a great piece, I like how it develops nicely, effortlessly. One small detail that needs to be addressed is that the guitars sound a bit out of tune,
Where did you get the inspiration for the lyrics? any movies, documentaries? -------------------- Visit my:
