Dead Flowers Held Sacred

(Marquis Smith )

D.F.H.S. details romance and same-sex love (also the title to my compilation of writings). I can imagine this being spoken. Dispensed of heavy metallic sound to evoke the presence of dark romanticism. Maybe some soft piano. I feel this would make a good album opener. Heavily inspired by early My Dying Bride. No rhyme scheme. Preferred genres (but not limited to) Death/doom metal/gothic metal.

Feast your eyes on depraved flesh, debase
Passion licks it's lips in defiance
Our eyes hold firm to a lie
Your brush beseeched my art passionately
Though God smears our canvas in disapproval
Because your organ rose, the gospel died
I never felt anymore alive than how I feel now
Brand me in lust, watch how I burn
And moan as you soil lifeless ground
A bouquet of dead flowers we've found
We embrace as people sneer
My love, let us leave from here
For we feast at a table filled with scoffers
We glide on a floor that holds the fervent mocker
Our kinship, a leper affinity
Unnatural streams can flow natural it done gently

The Wingless Bird

By Marquis Smith

"The Wingless Bird" contains grief & despair. Yes, this is where hope dies. The individual dreams of a better life. Forget it! He is awoken only to find reality!

Lost Song

By Marquis Smith

"The hurting ones always roam unchaperoned", a rather dark sentiment that echo through the entire piece. This person feels that even hope itself has betrayed them. They feel alone and abandoned. "Don't talk me down from the ledge," the author solicits... rather literal or figurative, I'd let the reader decide. Heavily influenced by early Anathema. No rhyme pattern throughout. Their character's cry is his lost song. Preferred genres (but not limited to) gothic metal/alternative metal/experimental.

Break My Heart of Stone

By Marquis Smith

"Break My Heart of Stone" describes an individual reaching their higher power. This person gave their life for the gospel. An inspirational piece and show there's light at the end of the tunnel. I was inspired by early Killswitch Engage & As I Lay Dying. This serves to stand out from my other works. Preferred genres (but not limited to) metalcore.

Just Like My Daddy Raised Me

By Brian Hendrix

A song I wrote about how a lot of people tell me I look and act like my father. I think this is something a lot of men can relate to, how we end up our father's sons. I'm really happy with how this turned out. It's one of those songs that hit home more for me now since my father passed away. It's a classic style of country song here, to be sure.
