about

Written as a response to a roleplaying event I attended six years long, aptly titled Symbols. The lyrics convey the emotional turmoil I envisioned certain characters would have. Originally it was an 18 minute epic with far more lyrics, but it didn't add any emotion nor excitement to the song. So after trimming it down to its current size, it worked way better than what I expected.

lyrics

Symbols ( R.d.G)

( Instrumental)

Blackened skin and pretty eyes
Keep staring into darkened skies
She wonders just what lies beyond
As she imagines horrors being spawned

Tattoo concealed, a worried look
The babbling that his poor mind brook
There’s so much more that he can take
The memories that he’ll never shake

The roughed up voice, his thoughts astray
He won’t give in, or turn away
His red rimmed eyes, the beard aflame
This life he leads won’t be the same
