about

Heavily inspired by Queensryche and based around a chord progression Josh wrote for The Burden. I had it in my mind I wanted a big chorus on this, and messaged by friend Tony Mills (TNT, Siam, Shy) to ask him to sing on it. He really took the track to the next level. The multitracks of his vocals are a massive Queen-style harmony. Simply stunning.

3 years later, Cleopatra Records heard this song and asked Glenn Fricker (Spectre Sound Studios) to remix the song Everything on Queensryche's (Geoff Tate version) Frequency Unknown album.

lyrics

Habitual existence in the tribes of Aden,
Mind a Serf to tradition
In the presence of the stranger,
Accept scars of submission
Don't bat your eye, or raise your voice,
At the strike of a hand
Chosen for you, he’s your saint now,
Mutilate on command

Prechorus:
Pay the penance of those so contrite
Willful myopia of a blinded sight

Chorus:
Veil of judgment, weaves a veil of sorrow
Born from hate, robs you of tomorrow
Veil of judgment, spelling your defeat
Internal hate, your soul incomplete
Veil of judgment, quells doubt and defiance
Oppresses thoughts, on him for reliance
Veil of judgment, bow your head, know your place
Weakens pride, your being, your face

Under asylum, escape to the Diets
A mind’s deliverance
Is blood the concrete of your soul?
Is to serve your existence?
Thoughts defied in the photoplay
Extinction by debris
Looking death in the eyes
Am I the enemy?
