V6-MINI

[Genre: Epic Symphonic Metal, March, Dark Triumph] [Style: Grandiose, Tragic, Oppressive, Warlike] [Tempo: Moderate but martial, 90 BPM] [Voice 1: Female operatic, powerful, dramatic (mezzo-soprano)] [Voice 2: Male harsh vocals, aggressive, authoritative] [Voice 3: Choir, massive, like an angry or praying crowd] [Instruments: Full symphony orchestra, brass, military drums, heavy distorted guitars, organ] [Effects: War drums, bells, distant battle sounds, screams] [Dynamics: Highly contrasting: gentle passages (art, beauty) and explosive passages (violence)] [Duration: 5:00 - 5:30] [Intro – War drums, then powerful orchestra Drums, brass.] [Verse 1 – Raspy vocals, violence, conquest, Full metal + orchestra.] We tamed the grain, we built the wall, We made the many serve the few. Gods in our image, kings in our thrall, We carved the world in two. [Verse 2 – Operatic female, beauty, art, strings alone, then orchestra, and metal band but delicate.] The women wept, the slaves were chained, The earth was fenced, the forests fell. Empires rose and empires rained— Blood and gold, heaven and hell. [Chorus – Full force, choir and growls, raspy + operatic + church choir, The entire orchestra, massive and gothic.] We built cathedrals, we wrote the stars, We painted beauty, we made great art— While wiping out the ones before, While crushing the weak, while playing god. [Bridge – Spoken female and male voices, sarcastic, whispered choir Almost silence, then cathedral organ.] Renaissance and genocide, Hand in hand, side by side. Look at the art—so beautiful. Look at the blood—so plentiful. [Solo Guitar solo + orchestra Melancholic, tragic.] We tamed the grain, we built the wall, We made the many serve the few. Gods in our image, kings in our thrall, We carved the world in two. [Outro Drums return, then a sharp cut Drums, then abrupt silence.] We built cathedrals, we wrote the stars, We painted beauty, we made great art— While wiping out the ones before, While crushing the weak, while playing god.
