Story Behind the Song
A song about battling one's own personal demons and attempting to overcome them and then realizing it's a never ending battle. Took about 1 month to write. Written in Mississauga. Can't remember how long it took to record or how many takes.
Lyrics
All my life I've lived by my word
Yet now I stand abandoned by the boards
A crimson sign etched into my sight
A vile, tormenting parasite
For all the sins I've abstained
Temptations avoided, my life devoted
yet this symbol of red still remains
My soul assailed the weak have failed,
They all have lied, tears of mud they cried
The exorcist, the crucifix, a useless fight,
I lost that night
And as I stare down the slate,
I'm breathing fear, yet the decisions made
And now I beg for the courage,
For this sickening self-induced purge
I am Beseiged by Demons
I am Beseiged by Demons
...and I must rip it out.
Excruciating pain shoots right through me,
As the pain is torn repeatedly
It's etched on my face,
The source of my own torment I now taste
Hanging by a thread of primal rage
I leave the sign from it's locket
As is it leaves so ravenous
I soon awake with half my sight
fully triumphant in this fight
Yet I quickly realize that it didn't disappear
The sequel's omen is still here
I am Beseiged By Demons
I am Beseiged By Demons
