The Exile

Here are some lyrics:

Now I know I have no choice
Thousands of computations
Gives the same deadly results
The Empire is gonna fall
My duty commands me
To prevent this cataclysm

But no one hears my voice
Forbidden words, blasphemy
Trantor's reign isn't doubted
I'm putting a bullet in my head
Suicide, unwanted revelations

Exile, My friends I must leave
Exile, Tomorrow I'll be gone
Exile, our future has begun
Exile, I wont let it happen

This science of Hari Seldon
Psychohistory, I do believe in
We must let the empire fall
To lay the foundations for a new era
Millions of lives will be spared
The terrible erratum won't be
I am willing to give my life
For this heroic accomplishment
No regrets, no remorse
Even if my sacrifice will go unnoticed

Exile, My friends I must leave
Exile, Tomorrow I'll be gone
Exile, our future has begun
Exile, I wont let it happen

As I see my world fading in the dark
I my heart is torn
I have left all that I loved
my family, my home

Trantor is becoming so small,
I remember those good moments
As each thoughts makes it harder
it's raining tears in my head
I feel my body horribly twisted
wandering across to terminus

Please save me, can't be real
Taken with thousands of men
In giant imperial cargo-ships
To build the so called Foundation
They really don't want us back
We shall never return home

Trantor has disappeared, So far in hyperspace
Old dreams ends for me, My fate is only writing
The Encyclopedia Galactica

I'm loosing it all...
So far from home...

Exile, forced by awful lies
Exile, mourning my life away
A new song! The Exile is the second song based on the Foundation novels joining The Mule in what will be a Foundation concept album (It's nuts I know). The whole idea is to describe what happens in the books through the eyes of a regular citizen, not the book's heroes. This song is about one of the scientists embarked on the foundation project at it's very beginning. The scientist realizes what's going to be in the menu for him. He's destined to get on a spaceship and never return home. Only to establish a outpost on the surface of the most distant planet of the Galactic Empire, Terminus. There he will be keeping humanity's knowledges safe so that after the Empire's looming fall there will be a chance to get back to civilization as he knows it. Following the forecasts of Hari Seldon, the great scientist who designed psychohistory, predicting the Empire's fall and an era of 30 thousand years of chaos in the galaxy.

Let's speak about the music itself, well it's very The Acolyt's like. It has ups and downs, heavy riffing, clean bits (acoustic!), power chords moments, some solos. It's 8 minutes something long. The theme is dark and depressive. I sing mostly in a low range. If I had to compare The Exile with the other Acolyts songs, I'd say it's Funerals on the moon meets half way One-eyed crone and The Mule. Anyhow, I hope you'll enjoy it and please give some comments :) The song is still in works, for instance I have to redo most of the singing because the flow isn't correct.

Paris Clem the riff or let raff
