The Rot Sets In

This is definitely amongst my slowest songs, just slow, grungy, depressing, even a little dull, vocals-wise. Fun lyrics though~!

Post-apocalyptic, after the supermind and the Fused Zombie have devoured the world, what is left?

Straight from No Rhymes, A Night of Complete Horrorshow, here is "The Rot Sets In," one of my newer songs for the album.


Woah...
Woah...

Cloudy sight in milky eyes
Brain dead but luscious
You and I survive these times
With harsh strokes delicious

Superdead and supermind
We become one being
You and I survive these times
With harsh loving laughter

Ha....ha....
Ha....ha...ha...
Ha....ha...ha...ha

We see the world through milky eyes
Depraved riot and ruin
We have come to betray the lies
The truth's there a-foolin'

We now join the supermind
Become of one meaning
We behold the truth of these times
And open our sight a-seeing

Oh...oh....
Oh...oh...oh
Oh...oh...oh-aaaaaah...

THE END IS RUIN
THE END IS NIGH
THE END IS NEAR
AT THE TOUCH OF YOUR THIGH

THE END IS PILLAGE
THE END IS GOLD
THE END IS HERE
AT THE SIGHT OF YOUR EYES

THE END IS BROKEN
THE END IS CAST
THE END IS FINISHED
AT THE FEEL OF OUR LOVE

THE END SUSTAINS
THE END HATH COME
THE END DEFINES
WHAT IS LEFT BEHIND

Stand aside you foolish mortals
Now behold your champion
Fall apart with foolish sighs
You'll know by their words

Fall away like waves of wheat
Falls before the thresher
Fall again and now fall in
Succumb to the pressure

Ha....ha....
Ha....ha...ha...
Ha....ha...ha...ha

Evil ways of evil minds
Failed us all before
Run away these ending times
Now behold what's in store

Can you reap what you hath sown
Can you own up to it?
Recognize the ending times
Experience the last of living

Oh...oh....
Oh...oh...oh
Oh...oh...oh-aaaaaah...

THE END IS RUIN
THE END IS NIGH
THE END IS NEAR
AT THE EDGE OF YOUR THIGH

THE END IS PILLAGE
THE END WILL DIE
THE END IS HERE
AT THE SIGHT OF YOUR EYES

THE END IS BROKEN
THE END BAPTIZE
THE END IS FINISHED
OH CAN YOU RISE

THE END SUSTAINS
THE END HATH COME
THE END DEFINES
WHAT IS LEFT BEHIND

WHAT IS LEFT BEHIND
WHAT IS LEFT BEHIND
what is left behind...

    1. Someday, someday.

      If my main band fails hard enough, then I'll just sing these songs anyway and put 'em out on the internets. Even if it's just me, I'd like to at least have the rhythms and beats (and vocals, naturally!) recorded for posterity.

      Then I'll probably never look at 'em again. Sad, but that's how I operate, y'knowwhatImean?

      But hey, if they can inspire someone else, then at least they'll be worthwhile.

      But I ain't thinkin' like that. We're gonna do what we can and go as far as we'll be allowed to go...then I'm going to bull my way forward just a bit more.

      For me, "absolute success and lol A grade celebrity" isn't my goal. My goal is to go farther than "they" will let me.

      If I can do that much in this lifetime, then I'll consider myself musician and have once again proven myself to be a true man. Hasn't been the only time I've had to do that, and it probably won't be the last time afterwards.

      It's like how the sayin' goes, "If you survived today then don't worry, life will try to kill you tomorrow."

    1. We'll be recording some raw cuts this weekend (hopefully!), though some changes are going to have to be made.

      My drummer's thumb is busted, and one week may not be good enough for it to rest up enough to work his rig (even though he claims he doesn't need his thumb, I don't want to be the guy who fucks up his career), in which case he'll use an electronic drum track and we'll work over THAT.

      Still gotta finalize the deal with the recording studio's owner though...which should go down tonight. And if THAT fails, I have a backup we can go to as well.

      One way or another, February marks the day when my main band FINALLY FUCKING RECORDS SOMETHING!!!

    2. Hell yeah. If your drummers hand is still busted use EZ drummer. Unless you're friends with the studio you'll save a lot of money and unless they're really good at micing drums it'll sound better. I know most people, especially drummers, would think I'm crazy but I promise it will produce better and cheaper results.

    3. Looks like we're just going to go in and do the thing. My drummer seems jazzed to jam on Sunday, so he should be prepared for tomorrow.

      Only gonna do five songs, so there's that...

      Anyway, cheaper results I don't mind, but the biggest issue for me is putting further stress on his thumb, even if he doesn't need it. Plus the dude is just AMAZING with dem percussions. Seriously, he freakin' rocks on the drums. Wouldn't have him otherwise, y'know?

      Seriously, ESPECIALLY when he goes ANIMAL ANIMAL ANIMAL on 'em.

      lol.
