[Song: Iron Seeds] [Tempo: 98 BPM] [Time Signature: Odd] [Intro: Ambient Synth Drones, Heavily Flanged Guitar Arpeggios] [Csus2] ... [Ebsus2] ... [Csus2] ... [Ebsus2] ... [Verse 1: Hypnotic Space Rock Groove, Deep Dubby Bass, Breathy Vocals] [Csus2] I sowed the iron seeds [Ebsus2] In a fragile glass domain [Csus2] Blind keepers watched them grow [Ebsus2] They swore the blooms would be gold shields [Csus2] To shelter us from the cold [Ebsus2] I fed the roots with ink [Csus2] And never felt the thorns at night [Verse 2: Bubbling Analog Sequencers, Swirling Phaser Pads, Tense Delivery] [F#5] We built a towering spire [C5] To feed our endless pride [F#5] Convinced we held the fire [C5] But cold machines only ache and breed [F#5] We gave the forests to their greed [C5] Under an ashen sky [F#5] Roots searched for men to die [Chorus: Heavy Shoegaze Wall of Sound, Massive Reverb, Dreamy Chorus] [Fsus4] The bitter harvest wind blew back [Dbsus4] Into my silent, sterile room [Absus4] It brought no golden wheat [Ebsus4] Just the heavy scent of copper gloom [Fsus4] It smelled of sudden, violent rain [Dbsus4] Our hubris flooding every distant plain [Verse 3: Minimalist Tape Delay Swells, Distant Mellotron Flute, Whisper] [Csus2] I sit in silence now [Ebsus2] The architect of storms [Csus2] Watching shadows change their forms [Ebsus2] The clockwork birds I threw into the dawn [Csus2] Have sliced the daylight till the sun is gone [Bridge: Trippy Rolling Tom Groove, Self-Oscillating Echoes, Acid Synths] [Dm] I thought I forged a heavy lock [Dbm] To keep the ravenous wolves at bay [Cm] A wall of iron for a quiet feast [Bm] But I just built a labyrinth of grief [Bbm] And locked us with the beast [Chorus: Huge Psychedelic Climax, Fuzzy Overdriven Rhythm, Layered Choirs] [Fsus4] The bitter harvest wind blew back [Dbsus4] Into my silent, sterile room [Absus4] It brought no golden wheat [Ebsus4] Just the heavy scent of copper gloom [Fsus4] It smelled of sudden, violent rain [Dbsus4] Our hubris flooding every distant plain [Outro: Soaring Gilmour-esque Fuzzy Guitar Solo, Slow Melting Outro Fade] [F#5] I asked the heavens for absolute might [F#5] But earth rejects the math I tried to write [F#5] No quiet night for me [F#5] No crown of royalty [F#5] Just bitter soot left as a treasury [F#5] I open up my empty hands [F#5] And let the vicious wind consume it all [STOP] [End]
