  • This cover took me a long time to finish. It's a long song, with complex parts and layers but it's finally ready and I plan to do the rest of the album in the near future!
    The electric guitar is a custom built Alpher Instruments guitar with an Evertune bridge and custom wound Wizard pickups. It's tuned to DADFAD. The acoustic is a Martin D16GT.
    The Alpher guitar goes straight into a 100w Marshall JCM800 head, using a Two Notes Torpedo Live for cab tones.
    The acoustic is recorded using a large diaphragm condenser mic that I built.

    Ghost of mother
    Lingering death
    Ghost on mother's bed
    Black strands on the pillow
    Contour of her health
    Twisted face upon the head
    Ghost of perdition
    Stuck in her chest
    A warning no one read
    Tragic friendship
    Called inside the fog
    Pouring venom brew deceiving
    Devil cracked the earthly shell, foretold she was the one
    Blew hope into the room and said, "You have to live before you die young"
    Devil cracked the earthly shell, foretold she was the one
    Blew hope into the room and said, "You have to live before you die young"
    Holding her down
    Channeling darkness
    Hemlock for the Gods
    Fading resistance
    Draining the weakness
    Penetrating inner light
    Road into the dark unaware
    Winding ever higher
    Darkness by her side
    Spoke and passed her by
    Dedicated hunter
    Waits to pull us under
    Rose up to its call
    In his arms she'd fall
    Mother light received
    Her faithful servant's fee
    In time the hissing of her sanity
    Faded out her voice and soiled her name
    And like marked pages in a diary
    Everything seemed clean that is unstained
    The incoherent talk of ordinary days
    Why would we really need to live?
    Decide what's clear and what's within a haze
    What you should take and what to give
    Ghost of perdition
    A saint's premonition's unclear
    Keeper of holy hordes
    Keeper of holy whores
    To see a beloved son
    In despair of what's to come
    If one cut the source of the flow
    And everything would change
    Would conviction fall
    In the shadow of the righteous?
    The phantasm of your mind
    Might be calling you to go
    Defying the forgotten morals
    Where the victim is the prey
