Let Me Spill

by

Mark Skinner (Redpyramidhead)

"Realizing, the extent of the horrors of what I had become...
The rites performed had denied the freeing of my soul, my essence from my physical remains...
So, it was that freedom for me in death, after such a violent end, such a wait, ironically was not to be from the passing of my spirit to the astral plain and the times of peace suggested to come with ...
But instead the liberation of dark blood from my entrails
A mere puddle in that wicked hole encircled by empty ground I had become..."

And to spill some
Of what I have become
and still have it be pretty...
and still have it be pretty...

And to kill some
Of what we have become
These veins hath shriveled
Slowly fibrous milk trickles
Into wide staring eyes

And to spill some
Of what I have become
With you, for you
and still have it be pretty...
and still have it be pretty...

NOte: Kind of a gothesque sounding song I'm working on. It transitions between (eerily) spoken words and traditional singing.
May not be everybody's taste but I hope it's well recieved.

That's a good song IMO. I also like the Intro you put before it. It's a "clever" addition that also give some sort of key for understanding the rest of the song.
As you said, the sound of some verses is quite "gothesque" (just to quote your term, but still fits the meanings of the composition pretty well.

is the first part a quote ? from poe or nietzche ?

or am i wrong ?

anyway, i like it . nice expression and very good descriptive writings.

Nope, it's all me. I must say I'm flattered that you thought it might be one of those guys!

The quotes are there to just sort of give a feel of it being an intro to the song of sorts and how it's almost story-like in nature.

I thought it was a quote as well! But it fits the rest of the composition pretty well IMO. BTW, I like the sound of the song. You called it gothesque, I would call it simply "gloomy" but good.

I don't think this song is gloomy. The choice of some words can make you think of goth genre, but without the music is impossible to say.
