I thought I'd try to make something outside metal or it's fringes, so maybe Synthwavish tunes?
Maybe the chorus' feel ended up quite metal after all :D
And once again the hardest part was to figure out the lyrics, and I wanted to do the weekly challenge, and decided "mouth" was my bodypart of choice... Mouth of what? First thing that came to mind was "Mordor".
Lord of the Rings synthwave? Well, why the hell not, here it is.
Welcome to the Mouth of Mordor
Here Evil lies
Quite a few ways from Gondor
Under His Evil Eye
Past grand gate of Morannon
You will ask them why
And you will find that there are none
As far as answers lie
All hail Sauron
Master of the Lidless Eye
You shouldn't even try
All hail Sauron
Master of the Lidless Eye
Or you will surely die
Welcome to the Mouth of Mordor
Here Evil lies
Quite a few ways from Gondor
Under His Evil Eye
Past grand gate of Morannon
You will ask them why
Facw the glaring gaze of Sauron
For therein answers lie
All hail Sauron
Master of the Lidless Eye
You shouldn't even try
All hail Sauron
Master of the Lidless Eye
Or you will surely die

Very dramatic stuff. Enjoyed the listen.

An epic worthy of the Synthmarillion. I feel the urge to go and boot up my Commodore 64 now.

Daaaaamn! The goth is strong in this one. Loved it! Also a big fan of Tolkien. One of my favourite tracks from this year.
Great production, great lyrics, epic vocals... Nicely done!

Oh yes, Sauron-hailing Depeche Mode was something I needed in my life, even though I didn't know it. Perfect vocals for the style.

Nailed the 80ies sound... The chorus is Epic! Nice!

Everything about this rules.
