about

Another never released track from the power Prog Rock band that never was. Rafael Paz of RC2 contacted me for this idea, and I developed the concept of the stories behind the music. I managed to write a 3 chapter script that tells the story of immortal beings that had taken care of humanity for millennia. Frustrated at the deeds of men, and the destruction they cause. They're lonely warriors on a lost cause. We recruited great talent for the band-concept. But it never really materialized. This was the very first track recorded for the Band to be. We got the amazing Monique Van Der Kolk from the Band HARVEST to sing. Rafael on keys and composition, Angel Quiñones, Jon Durant on guitars, in this track I played the drums, bass guitar, and a little keyboard.

I had to work hard with some old files and do a lot of tech work to salvage them in order to release this track. If you hear some glitches here and there, it's due to that. Luckily, with today's technology, I was able to add and subtract things and with the help of effects and such, made everything sound cohesive enough and use the very effects inherent on those files as something that would give character to the song as a whole. hope you like it

lyrics

Sentenced at the crack of dawn
Only last snow is safe on this cold morning
But a trail of fire rushes through the corridor
Willing to burn down what's left of hatred

Silent cries night after night
Bodies and souls, torn apart
Cold eyes, embrace the sunlight
Oooh...

Flames curl up while they whisper the last words
"we're still at this"
"they're still at this"
The writing is on the wall

Broken skylines on the horizon
Flowers fading on dark acres
Untold stories, never forgotten

Silent cries night after night
Bodies and souls, torn apart
Cold eyes, embrace the sunlight
Oooh...
