I am sure some of you know that most songs I have uploaded over the past year have been tied into a single story arc, this is the first song I have written in over a year that has nothing to do with that story. The title, "Captain Bella Lind", any Alastair Reynolds fan will recognize as it is the main character in his novel "Pushing Ice".
And while in many ways this song is about the ungodly struggles of that novel, this song is about myself as much as it is about her, it was just one of those songs I needed to write, I couldn't do anything else with music until I had done this. That being said, there is a lot of cool stuff in here, spacey tone solos, odd proggy riffs, a big ambient instrumental section, and all that good stuff. So I hope you enjoy! http://soundcloud.com/lascailles-shroud/captain-bella-lind _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Captain Bella Lind _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ From the weight of her past She can hear them whisper In the thick veils, shrouded, in total darkness Haven't you failed? Why do you persist? Isolated in the years of the iron sky The echoes of time immortal Slowly eating reality You have failed! You must not persist! You will fail! You cannot persist! A billion years from their star Locked inside a time slipstream The last remnants of the humans Stand on the cosmic precipice Eternity remains uncertain And reality begins to slip away Trapped inside a shell of herself A step too close to the abyss She will face the dark Challenge the demons of the void Stare into the blinding absence And tread forward with vigilance I cannot allow myself to die Even if its the only thing I want Pioneering the last frontier Touching a truly alien mind Knowing what cannot be known And never buckling beneath its weight Captain Bella Lind The benefactor of time Captain Bella Lind Alone at the end of time As the future became Eerily all too calm The darkness would return Unknown forces would strive to see Our demise for their own needs But I am too f****** stubborn to die Faced with extinction Yet again The captain Will she prevail? The loss of their world Yet again The humans Would they prevail? Captain Bella Lind The benefactor of time Captain Bella Lind Alone at the end of time |
