Rotting Pines v8 (early version but just published out of order)
[Intro] [staccato synth pluck, atmospheric reverb] In the dark, in the cold, through the mist, through the pines We can wait, we can wait, we can wait, we can wait In the dark, in the cold, through the mist, through the pines We can listen, we can listen, we can listen [vocal build-up] We can listen! [Chorus] [heavy kick drum, trap snare, hi-hat rolls, distorted guitar power chords] I saw it, it was there, deep in the mist, in the trees It was waiting there, standing there, deep in the trees, in the mist It was waiting in the houses crumbling But there are footsteps inside And the shadows are gathering There are voices on the wind I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise [Post-Chorus] [electronic beat continues] Gonna rise out of the rotting pines Gonna rise out of the rotting pines Gonna rise out of the rotting pines Gonna rise out of the rotting pines [Verse 2] [beat drops out, synth pluck and sub-bass remain] I can feel it drawing near, through the frost, through the fire It is speaking low, calling out through the blackened boughs in the silence It is waking and the ground is breaking open With the thunder under pine roots And the night is growing louder As the old woods come alive I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise [Chorus] [full band enters, aggressive energy] Gonna rise out of the rotting pines Gonna rise out of the rotting pines Gonna rise out of the rotting pines Gonna rise out of the rotting pines [Outro] [music softens, synth pluck returns] In the dark, in the cold, through the mist, through the pines We can drift, we can drift, we can drift, we can drift In the dark, in the cold, through the mist, through the pines We can go, we can go, we can go [vocal sustain] We can go [final electronic beat flourish]
