Wretched will, host of pleasure surreal Closed the room where the last is buried Rise or fall at your master's request You're unable to accept redemption I don't know about a true belief here With the 'lost' it's the same as always All I want is the same, a true belief You can't wait to become a memory With the 'weak' it's the same as always Stand confused lack of comprehension, Re-aroused by a thought of madness And I know that the truth is always right But it's time to search for lies You're the only I try to save But the blood spills from your veins Call counting time till the end Death's wicked smile never fails The curse is cast, you've lost the past Forevermore, a candle burns here no more I don't know about a century life When the love of generations die I can see no good in taking your own life When any moment death calls... All I want is the same, A true belief
So disappointed with the lead verse vocals on this. No grit, authority, or conviction. I think Nick was having a musical identity crisis at the time and/or problems with his voice. The band sounds stellar as ALWAYS...
If you listen carefully you can see he still uses harsh vocals in some lines here, but it's more for accentuate purposes on some words/verse... vibe now feels kinda more 80's gothic bands.
I honestly prefer it this way because he's in tune. The original sounds downright amateurish and to this day I don't know how it got a pass. He was clearly out of tune. Love Nick, though. Great voice.
The band always changed styles. By the time they recorded this song, they had made their transition away from Death Doom and into Gothic/Doom Metal territory. They recorded 3 albums in Death Doom before this song came out. 1998 was no different. They had moved away from Metal in general hence why the vocals sound like they do. Nick NEVER stuck to one style of singing just like the band never really stuck to one style of music.
@@KUDGHAT1 No, you don't get my meaning. His original studio performance for this song (from Icon) freaking sucks. He can't hold a tune to save his life. He is much better in this video.
