--> I
Damn it all! all this our South stinks peace.
You whoreson dog, Papiols, come! Let's to music!
I have no life save when the swords clash.
But ah! when I see the standards gold, vair, purple, opposing
And the broad fields beneath them turn crimson,
Then howls my heart nigh mad with rejoicing.
II
In hot summer have I great rejoicing
When the tempests kill the earth's foul peace,
And the lightnings from black heav'n flash crimson,
And the fierce thunders roar me their music
And the winds shriek through the clouds mad, opposing,
And through all the riven skies God's swords clash.
III
Hell grant soon we hear again the swords clash!
And the shrill neighs of destriers in battle rejoicing,
Spiked breast to spiked breast opposing!
Better one hour's stour than a year's peace
With fat boards, bawds, wine and frail music!
Bah! there's no wine like the blood's crimson!
IV
And I love to see the sun rise blood-crimson.
And I watch his spears through the dark clash
And it fills all my heart with rejoicing
And pries wide my mouth with fast music
When I see him so scorn and defy peace,
His lone might 'gainst all darkness opposing.
V
The man who fears war and squats opposing
My words for stour, hath no blood of crimson
But is fit only to rot in womanish peace
Far from where worth's won and the swords clash
For the death of such sluts I go rejoicing;
Yea, I fill all the air with my music.
VI
Papiols, Papiols, to the music!
There's no sound like to swords swords opposing,
No cry like the battle's rejoicing
When our elbows and swords drip the crimson
And our charges 'gainst "The Leopard's" rush clash.
May God damn for ever all who cry "Peace!"
VII
And let the music of the swords make them crimson!
Hell grant soon we hear again the swords clash!
Hell blot black for always the thought "Peace!"

lolol..

oh shit.. wwow. i think the drums and fugue-type shit worked out in this one a lot more. Seems a little more light hearted too, which i like.

i recognize a similar nord patch that you used on the 'giant chunks' you posted up here. purrty cool.
only thing i would add is one of those fast mega man triangle wave basslines.

h aha wing wang.

FAN-FRIGGIN-TASTIC!!!!!

You know who would have loved you with all his heart? Nikolai Gogol. Such a wonderful mix of humor and the raw fury of imagination.

This is the devil I would sell my soul to, definitely.

for this style of music, i feel this may be something of a masterpeice. I would have liked
with all those notes, to hear some more concreate themes within the melodys
but I think (and I dont know) this sort of music is supposed to be
A.D.D., glitchy and all over the place so amazing work man very interesting as usual.

and then youll die cold and alone .. a broken man ... buried in a poppers grave
