STARFALL -- completed synthwave tune (80s synthwave, darkwave, retrowave)

[TwilightOdyssey]

The fourth track from my upcoming synthwave album is now ready for preview. This one was a lot of fun to work on; it has a vague Depeche Mode meets John Carpenter thing going on and Freddy killed it with the vocals for this one. As usual, any feedback is appreciated!

Lyrics::

We saw the light
We heard the sound
Octavius came crashing to the ground

Wise men could see
Star in the East
CY.R.U.S returned triumphant and complete

Fire in the sky
And no time to wonder why
Judgement from on high

Virus spreads, self-aware
See the Earth drawing nearer
Vengeance on humanity

Starfall

Thought you would be free
You will kneel before your king
CY.R.U.S is reborn

Supersystem alive
Everything is connected
Neural network will survive

Starfall

He went a man
Came back a slave
He placed the shovel next to our grave

One man could see
Change history
All that he asked of you was to believe

Updated OP with mastered version of the song.

I get the DM vibe. But ... To me, its sounds like post Blackmore Purple ... which still pretty F***ing awesome. I mean phrasing wise.

Really dug this one!!

My only thing was I thought the vocals were a little too upfront...but hey, not my tune! Great stuff. Wish I could do some stuff similar to this.

Thanks! You can take the boy out of metal, but...

You nailed it. The exciting part for me is walking the Razor's edge between synths and rock, familiar and new.
