my entry for Metalsucks' Nevermore - Create Your Own Conspiracy contest. apologies for the dance moves. i was, uh, caught in the heat of the moment. all vocals recorded in garageband, lipsyncing video done in imovie. go mac.

lyrics:
I've seen the scars of God's indifference
Carved into faultines time and again
I've borne witness to the genocide of reason
Beneath legions of melted men
Am I awake? Am I asleep? Alive or dead or dreaming?
So hard to differentiate
I can't escape the nightmare of the universe collapsing
In seas of grey

Wake me, someone.

If I alone remain,
What would it mean to fail?
Is there still a world to save,
Somewhere behind the veil obsidian?

I've lost my sense inside the suffering
Buried it alive beneath my floor
Joined the procession of desensetized puppets
And signed my soul away to war
Am I insane? am I a coward? Sold, misled, or evil?
Have I become the enemy...?
Am I still thinking or are all my words determined
And thought for me?

Wake me, someone.

If I alone remain,
What would it mean to fail?
Is there still a world to save,
Somewhere behind the veil obsidian?

(solo)

The plague of apathy has breached my spirit,
Blackened my soul and darkened my eyes
The wolves arrive, at last, upon my doorstep
I learn the art of compromise

If I alone remain,
What would it mean to fail?
Is there still a world to save,
Somewhere behind the veil obsidian?

shit man, i can't get enough of listening to what you done to that song...would you be so kind and make the download link work again so i can download it? or maybe send it to my mail (hope you recieved megapoop btw)

[orbsonb]

@Luxpalloris thanks much, man! i'll fix the upload link ASAP. and i did get megapoop...i've writing the vocal parts for it for the past few days. it might be another week or so before i can record it because i've had a sore throat lately, but i'm determined to get it done nonetheless!

Gotta admit, I heard "Joined the procession of desensetized puppets" as "Join the processon of the sexy time .. BOLLOCKS!".

[orbsonb]

@EskilRask rofl...that's amazing

[bia583]

dude you ripped it last night!! great job bro!! you definitely earned this win! i heard you arent in a band...join a band dolt! you are way to talented of a singer an lyricist to not be in a band dont waste your talents! GO PENS!!!!

[orbsonb]

@bia583 thanks so much! i'm glad you enjoyed it...i'm not in a band because i'm currently in college, studying to be a music teacher, which pretty much takes up all my time. but after i graduate, who knows?

@chavslayer2 i dunno, i like everything i've heard from the album, vocals and all. i've only listened to like 3 songs though. i'm waiting for the official release cause i usually cave and download albums in advance as soon as they leak, and i'm trying to exercise some willpower this time, haha. thanks for the kind words!

[cortarelva]

I think Warrel should cover your version of this song its much better than the album.

[3dEnthusiast]

Was NOT expecting this when I saw you, hahah. I feel bad now. Holy shit, dude. You fucking deserved to win, and there were some AWESOME versions.

[ExceriusGuitar]

I think this is the best one so far. The lyrics are very Nevermore and I think you wrote a pretty bitching vocal line. I've seen a few others but this one is definitely the best.

[Luxpalloris]

@orbsonb great to hear that! take it easy on megapoop, there's no need to do it quick=)

[orbsonb]

@DanJervisGuitar haha it was intentional

[kurtmb]

This version goes on Ipod and replaces original. Awesome job man, much better lyrics, flow and delivery than Warrel's version of this song IMO. \m/

[guitarDouchebaggery]

OMG you made it!

I just saw your performance video with the band
