Figured, I'd put out one last banger before the year ends. I FINALLY got my studio conditioned for recording vocals and invested in a much better mic for recording. Decided to break it in on the one song I've been dying to get vocals on for almost a year now. My collab with @Burn7.

I completely re-recorded my takes on guitar and bass, remixed, remastered and laid down some pretty decent screams (if I do say so myself at least haha)

@adr3-n - tagging you because you said you were disappointed the instrumental version lacked vocals. So here ya go! ;)

LYRICS:

Can we break the cycle

To create a shift

This rising tension’s

Become dangerous

We’re the broken product

Of a masquerade

As clandestine factions

Dig our shallow graves

What’s left to be broken

Our next sacrifice

Can our eyes be opened

Freed from the vice

Is this even real

Are we all dreaming

Together in this paradigm

Forever a flawed design

Is it safe to feel

Or are we becoming

Slaves to a system

That provides us nothing

And now we’re choking

On dirt and debris

From the falling sky

Bite the hand the feeds

Before they let us die

The simulation

Rigged by design

By the fucking faithless

Founded on lies

Now what’s left is broken

All was sacrificed

Were our eyes opened

Too late to survive

God, this can’t be real

I can’t believe it

We’re lost in a paradigm

Of broken dreams; shattered lives

It’s not safe to feel

We’re snuffed like vermin

Fed to a system;

That provides us nothing

Have we lost or

Will we rise?

Broken beliefs

Our will restrained

They say we’re free;

We’re bound in chains

Force a revolution

Bring ‘em to their knees

Face down in the mud

From the guillotine

The time has come

We’re done believing

In the paradigm

Tear it down for a new design

‘til we feel the Sun

We’re all done bleeding

For this system

That provides us nothing

Now we’re fucking done

We’re fucking done
