--> 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!"

Great work Asteroid. The songwriting is wonderfully elaborate. I think JDG is right about the EQ.

And this really is the ultimate Castlevania boss fight song. Michiru Yamane (Castlevania composer) needs to hear it.

a portal opens up to some unspeakable nether dimension, and a long forgotten demon of the underworld emerges into our realm to wreak havok and sow destruction in its wake??

ahhh splendid!

i wanted that big lead sound to coincide with more of a thwack to the eardrum each time it starts (eg, layered with a pitch drop kick with lots of thump).. to make it 'pop out' more (like you said oonce ;))

Excellent! Exactly the kind of electronic music I've been searching for these past months. The kind of piece you need (and you enjoy) to listen a few times to fully appreciate it. One of the best I heard on this site. Can't wait for the album!
