it's okay to take a break sometimes.

"I can do this all day", you say out loud, while you receive multiple beatings. Sure, you always stand up to them, but you only win when they get tired of beating you. This time, though, you're different. This is where the fun begins.

[Verse]

I face the same things that I had at the start

Go round and round until fatigue has had the best of me

While I could take down what I faced off before

They rise again and the futility is tiring

Dust off my shoulder, and prepare to commence

Just like before, it never ends, a cycle all-consuming

But then it dawns on me, the end to this curse

Toss down my sword and shield, give up and let them all go through me

[Chorus]

Hands up, foot down, I've had about enough

No more, I'm done with playing in the rough

I quit, retire, and off into the hills

I throw the towel, I've had my fill

[Verse]

Like that it ended, but I'm raising my doubts

I come to think that the solution isn't quite what I hoped

But starting up again is not for me now

Upon reflection all my fate decides is where I will go

stand your ground, enough is enough, we will take it no more!

Coming onto shore

Kingdom is before you

Sharpening the axe

Wringing out your hands

Kingdom is before you (x2)

Swing swing that axe

Take what's yours (x3)

Yours for the taking

I don't recommend experimenting with 7/4 time on OHC if you've never composed something in the time signature before XD.

stand your ground

when you tear it down

speak your voice

as your flag your hoist

hear the withered cries

that you can't deny

we can take no more

we can take no more

battles rage

our hope made fade

but we will stand

for what we demand

we can take no more

we can take no more

Oh, this guy again? Why is he always stronger than me?

This track is as angry as it gets. I was initially gonna do a metal track (Or at least a close proximation), but it didn't work out, because i wanted it to go really hard.

And i don't just mean basic distortion, i mean so much it's just pure screech, while still retaining a structure, an arrangement and a melody/chord progression. The distortion was soo much, even my DAW couldn't handle it haha. In the end, it's either too loud, or not loud enough...

As for the melodies, it's mostly chord stabs, a full on progression with a choir, acid synths, riffs and other oddities. Tried to navigate through a really laggy daw for this, there was soo much amps going lol. All in all, it might not be everyone's cup of tea, it was certainly a different and fun way of making things. Hope you enjoy!
