GRENDEL track 2 - No Place For Me (Grendel)

early 90s sleaze rock, melancholic hard rock, 92 BPM half-time, downtuned Les Paul riffs, harmonized twin leads, wah-drenched guitar licks, minor-key power chords, tom-heavy drum groove, pick bass grit, gated snare, analog tape saturation, wide room reverb, slow-burn anger, bitter defiance, big chorus hooks, dramatic bridge lift, vocal adlibs

[Verse 1]
The fire still burns beyond the trees
As darkness falls they start to sing 
Their voices drift on through the dark 
Like distant bells that softly ring

[Verse 2]
I listened from the marsh below
To tales of glory, faith and Kings
To stories that engaged my heart
Through echoes carried in the winds

[Chorus]
Every hero wore a human face
Every legend bore a human name
Every King they praised was made like them
While I remained outside the flame
Their songs had room for every soul
That walked beneath the Heavens free
But every verse confirmed the truth
There was no place for me

[Verse 3)
They praised the hand that shaped the world 
The light that scattered fear and pain
Then spoke of creatures born in darkness 
As stains that can't remain

[Verse 4]
I felt their words like falling stones
Though none had ever met my gaze
Their judgement rang out loud and true
Through every hymn they sang in praise

[Bridge]
If darkness is the name they give me
Then darkness is the name I'll wear
If every hand would turn against me
Then why should I pretend to care
They sang of kingdoms built by men
Of monsters born from sin
Their songs were once a source of joy
Now every note cuts through my skin

No place for me
