Title: The Innocent Cried (PVD/Pleasuredome/Thunder/Andy)
Post by: AndyG6508 on April 28, 2012, 11:54:03 PM
Hi MCS,

Another epic sort of a tune.

Paul came up with a strong story-teller lyric, Steve conjured up an ethereal blend of vocals and screaming guitars, and Todd provided the hammer of the gods to rock this song out. Then Argle chipped in with an excellent mix.

Cheers guys, once again it's been a joy to work with you all! Not too bad for a 3 piece huh ;)

NickT and Paulo - Thanks for the comments/suggestions you have made while recording/mixing the song. Much appreciated :)

Andy


The Innocent Cried ((Dempsey/Gupta/McAndrew/Vierra (c) 2010/2012)

(v1)
The oracle's eyes flashed and rolled
As we listened intently to the tales she told
She saw a fawn (in a field)
Lying (so) perfectly still
While a pride of lions
Consumed their (latest) kill

(v2)
She spoke of gales and darkened skies,
Over falling trees and the ocean's rise   
(She saw) a blue robin's egg
As it fell its feathered nest
With no-one coming,
With no one saved

Pre-chorus:
Oh old woman with the knowing gaze
Is this the end of time, the end of days?
Is there a way to escape it all
Is now the time for Man to fall?

Instrumental Interlude: 1:51- - 2:07 ( over Dm/G x2)

Chorus: 
The innocents cry
Hear the innocents cry
As the rains pour down
Her visions have never lied

Repeat

Instrumental break: 2:39 - 2:51

(v3) 
She warned of wreckage and deep despair
Impending disasters, with a need to beware
She saw a small child
Struggle for breath
Head bowed down
Likely soon the sting of death

Pre-chorus
Oh old woman with the knowing gaze
Is this the end of time the end of days?
Is there a way to escape it all
Is now the time for Man to fall?

Chorus: 
The Innocent cry
Hear the innocent cry
As the rains pour down
Her visions cannot be denied

Repeat

(bridge)
She said it wasn't what should be
But rather what it could be
She stood to leave then she turned instead
Grabbed my hand so I would understand
I saw a vision of a robin with a chest of red
Circling a deer walking beside a young man

Solo 4: 48 -  5:19

Final chorus :
Still the innocent cried
Oh how the innocent cried
As the rains poured down
Showering visions that cannot be denied

Repeat

Outro: 5:52 till end.

The Oracle Band:

Paul Dempsey: Lyrics
Steve McAndrew: Lyrics, Lead and backing vocals, all guitars including solos
Todd Vierra: Drums
Andy Gupta: Music, lyrics, bass, hammond organ
Adam Kirby: Mix/master

Yeah, I stopped writing for now.  I don't know if I'll get back into the flow again, I'm losing my touch.  I'm working full-time and going to school full time til April 2013 so just no time it seems.

But I still pop in and listen so buzz me to listen to your favorites, that would be great.  I do have my first published article coming out in May though in a local parenting magazine called "Teaching Kids Creativity" and they paid me to write it too ($.25 word) :):).  I'm now a professional writer lol lol!!
