Song demo no. 2 -- Misfortune

[TwilightOdyssey]

I'm sure I'll be tweaking the mix a bit more as there a couple of things that are still nagging at me, but this is far enough along to post.

Song is titled, Misfortune, will post lyrics later.

Edit: lyrics


Misfortune
© 2009

I had a silver in my pocket, but the hangman he was taking gold
I needed one more hour, but the bells had all begun to toll
I booked passage on a galley, but she went down in a raging sea
I washed up on an iron shore a thousand leagues from where I meant to be

Out of the heat and
Into the fire
Under the blade
Hard times, bad signs, and unfulfilled desires
Misfortune

I was swept up by a river overflowing with the autumn rains
I was wrongly charged, but the high lord cast me down in chains
I had a shot at vengeance, but my arrow it went astray
I had a chance at bliss, but my true love turned away

Out of the heat and
Into the fire
Under the blade
Hard times, bad signs, and unfulfilled desires
Misfortune

No steed to bear me home
No love to call my own
Misfortune
No wine to cure my thirst
No balm to soothe my hurts
Misfortune
No roof to shelter me
No charm to set me free
O, Misfortune

Man that reminds me Manowar's Shellshock! And I enjoyed every moment. Her voice fits very good! The small details on riffing is just awesome! Cool song!

Thanks for the feedback!

I've never heard Shell Shock before, but I just checked it out. I think if we listed all of the songs that riff on an open A string we'd be here for a looong time!

The riff IS similar!

Well, it was nothing negative
I like both of the riffs, and the feeling is similar. And, it is a great feeling ahaha!

I could swear I heard a little queen and rush back to back in there.

I'll take that as a compliment.

There are nods to several influences in this song.
