Modern Day Slavery - Original Song

Here's a song I wrote for a contest put on by a local human rights committee in which participants had to write a song about human trafficking. I had my friend Ian (JacksonDK2T on youtube) over to do vocals and he made it sound real gnarly. All other things (gtr/bass/programming/mixing/mastering) was done by myself. Thanks to my bro Anthony (AlucardXIX/Encircle) for running the drums through superior drummer and making them tight. If you want an mp3 or guitar pro of this song, leave me a comment/message. If you want to learn more about human trafficking or get involved, find a local Human Rights Organization, or look around online (And watch taken which is an amazing movie). Like I say in the song, you'd be surprised what's going on in your own city. I found out my city (winnipeg) was the worst in the country (Canada) for the sex trade. Scary Stuff. Here's the lyrics:

How has society devolved to such chilling depths?
the innocent enslaved, every day facing death.
We sit by apathetically, not a care in the world
As the wicked reign
On our own streets

I bet you would not believe
The horrors in your own city

Treated like they are valueless
But they have so much left to live for
Mouths sewn shut, eyes stitched up, bound and gagged
They all become but senseless
Bags of bone and flesh, with blood seeping through
Tortured and beaten, raped and abused

Here's a DL Link for the mp3:

[SeanStephensen]

[BTPhotography1]

Really do not like the vocals. Everything else is good.

[SeanStephensen]

@BTPhotography1 Ian was sick, and his first time ever seeing the lyrics/getting a feel of the song was when we recorded. He didn't really get to warm up, and we had a limited time to record. I respect your taste, just don't completely judge the man on this song, it's not the best representation of his skillz

[SeanStephensen]

@SeanStephensen I mean this isn't his strongest vocal performance, so don't judge his ability too harsly on this example. If you mean you don't like how the vocals fit in the song or something, I misunderstood, I thought you were saying you don't dig the vocalist

[11fucky0u]

The screamer sounded like a chicken wing

[SeanStephensen]

@11fucky0u I didn't know chicken wings made sound :/

[BTPhotography1]

@SeanStephensen Never judged the guy. Just said I didn't like the vocals.

[TheNaughtyOtsel]

nice job man, this is sweet

[SeanStephensen]

@ibanezxiphos700 the solo's the only part I don't have tabbed because I improvised it :/
