Song #12: Trilogy Part 1 (All My Sins)
MP3 Demo Here (2.8mb)
So I wrote a trilogy for my last 3. originally it was going to be a sci-fi trilogy. I'll still probably do that... but a series of circumstances this week really made me focus on the story of the Passion of Christ (not just the movie... though I did see that last night). These songs were half written last night and half this morning. Half recorded this afternoon, and the other half just now. You'll probably recognize the tune from this one... I didn't like the original lyrics, but still to co-opted some of them (funny, considering the message is almost the opposite).
All My Sins
lyrics/music by Burr Settles
what have i done? have i done what i came to do?
i kiss you on your face, and you kiss me too
i hate the way i hate myself
sitting in a blackened room on a sofa
with a fifth of jim beam
called to obey, called to love and adore
bound to betray, to fall on my sword
i can barely bear this weight
anymore... all the riches in my pocket
i'm bursting at the seams
follow my shadow to this grave most everyday
i pick the mallet up and drive the last spike into place
all my sins run bloody red now
all my sins run bloody red now...

one of the great things about demos is that you can start over from scratch or take what you like and ditch the rest. I'm gonna be posting my "afterthoughts" tomorrow I think since someone asked for it on our message board.
This song is still very intense. I would love to hear this with a full band...or maybe just produced by Bazan with him on drums (he rocks the drums).
I'm listening to the whole trilogy right now.
