TOWER OF GOLD

+ Show full styles

[Intro: 15 seconds. Quiet but tense. A single, repetitive, hypnotic post-punk bassline. No chord changes. Just a dark, driving groove.] [Verse 1: Extremely quiet. Only the hypnotic bass and a dry drumbeat. The male vocal is a cold, rhythmic whisper] Mother, I'm here. Standing so near. Wiping the tear. [Pre-Chorus: The drumbeat doubles in speed. Sudden anxiety] Watch the men of gold. Watch the lies unfold. [STOP - DEAD SILENCE FOR TWO SECONDS] [Chorus: MASSIVE HEAVY WALL OF SOUND! EXTREME VOLUME! The vocal is an aggressive, rhythmic chant, locking in with the heavy guitars] PIGS AT THE FEAST! MOTHERS WHO WEEP! TOWERS OF GOLD! BURIED TOO DEEP! [Instrumental Drop: Instant cut back to the quiet, hypnotic bass groove. The heavy guitars vanish completely. Pure tension.] [Verse 2: Quiet and tense again. Whispered vocal] Thrown in the dirt. Building on hurt. Nothing has worth. [Pre-Chorus: Frantic drum build-up] Watch the men of gold. Watch the lies unfold. [STOP - HEAVY PICK SLIDE] [Chorus: MAXIMUM EXPLOSION! HUGE DISSONANT NU-METAL CHORDS!] PIGS AT THE FEAST! MOTHERS WHO WEEP! TOWERS OF GOLD! BURIED TOO DEEP! [Outro: Sudden stop. One single clean guitar note ringing out into silence] I am still here. (Silence)
