Exploring rhythmic percussive sounds. You can imagine it as the backdrop to a heist scene.

Not what I intended on making but here it is.

Break the

Break the fragile lock

Set loose on this world

Pandora's box

Voices and shreds of fear

Float through the ether

Relics of distant years

Stand and defy

Defy the wicked the arrogant

Stand opposed to the shattered ones

Break the lock 

Deep in the forest there's a place men go

Where the water is deep and the moonshine flows

Grab your tackle and grab a "friend"

That you'd like to meet a tragic end

CHORUS:

Look out!

What ya waitin' for?

What's that?

Discretion's de rigeur

Twigs snap!

Locked behind the door

Too bad!

Can't come out no more

You remember old Billy?

You remember his wife?

You remember how he caused her all kind of strife?

Well, she brought him down last year

Ever since then he hasn't been here

CHORUS REPEATS

being semi inspired by having played a lot of Horizon Zero Dawn lately, it felt like discovering something forgotten behind an old door.

I can't help but notice that your locks are lil bit rusty

I just want to come in, have a little chat

Your locks are broken and I'm coming in

This is an enchanted lock, and you'll going to need an enchanted key to open this. Or at least, convince the lock wizard that you're a good guy, I'm sure they'll come to terms with your requests. Probably.

Kinda went at a country/bluegrass ballad of sorts, perhaps a bit melancholy. Kinda like the artistic imagery of a clean, shiny lock over a rusty door, but I didn't feel like making lyrics. And definitely not singing.

[verse]

Years ago, it felt like any day

Strolling back toward home after my daily struggles

As I bounded 'cross the barren yard

I could tell that something was amiss

Tried my key, but it could hardly fit

Wouldn't turn, I knew at this point it was over

All my livelihood, everything I owned

Locked away, this is how they evict

[bridge]

So my head it spins, I lost everything

Must be some way to set this right

Can't begin again, find some way to win

Where do I go to sleep at night?

[verse]

Took a second to collect my thoughts

There's a chance that hope wasn't lost for the moment

All that's left is put my right foot forward

As I walk toward the rest of my life

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwww EUROBEAT WILL FIT ALL SOURCES. If you can call this eurobeat. Think I covered all the integral elements of a eurobeat song title.

Outside looking in

Mind secured as the padlocked wall

First time on the fringe

Shake the door, nothing at all

Our ears closed within

Our hearts locked like iron gates

Second time on the hill

No way to grip your attention

Open my eyes

Light the way through the windows of my soul

Open my eyes

See through the opaque gaze

Open my eyes

Light the way through the windows of my soul

Open my eyes

See through the opaque gaze

Metal?

The images seemed mighty rusty there lol. No clue what the image is meant to represent, i just felt like going in a Dark Atmospheric Industrial direction. Distorted beats, meets very dark heavy chords. Fun number for sure.

Also guess what? It's 5 minutes, woo! Not that it matters lol.

A princess trapped in a castle? A dark lord conquering the realm? Monstrous beasts encircling our homes? Ho, brave adventurer! Mayhaps you are the answer to our prayers!
