    Dang, my dude. That was legitimately one of your best covers. The emotion was so genuine and the growls were incredibly well placed. 10/10

      it can be more emotional at a lower speeds such as 0.75 playback speed, even if it sounds distorted

      My favourite songs are all really heavy metal songs cuz of the fact that they express my emotions so well. My overall favourite song is Shattered by Currents, cuz it does such a good job at expressing the anger and pain that comes with depression. The vocals express the anger and frustration, the lyrics express the pain of it

    Lyrics bois👇
    I used to rule the world
    Seas would rise when I gave the word
    Now in the morning I sleep alone
    Sweep the streets I used to own
    I used to roll the dice
    Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes
    Listened as the crowd would sing
    Now the old king is dead long live the king
    One minute I held the key
    Next the walls were closed on me
    And I discovered that my castles stand
    Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
    I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
    Roman cavalry choirs are singing
    Be my mirror, my sword and shield
    Missionaries in a foreign field
    For some reason I can’t explain
    Once you’d gone there was never
    Never an honest word
    And that was when I ruled the world
    It was a wicked and wild wind
    Blew down the doors to let me in
    Shattered windows and the sound of drums
    People couldn’t believe what I’d become
    Revolutionaries wait
    For my head on a silver plate
    Just a puppet on a lonely string
    Oh who would ever want to be king?
    I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
    Roman cavalry choirs are singing
    Be my mirror, my sword and shield
    My missionaries in a foreign field
    For some reason I can’t explain
    I know St Peter won’t call my name
    Never an honest word
    But that was when I ruled the world
    Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
    Roman cavalry choirs are singing
    Be my mirror, my sword and shield
    My missionaries in a foreign field
    For some reason I can’t explain
    I know St Peter won’t call my name
    Never an honest word
    But that was when I ruled the world

      As the king's kingdom fell. He nestled in the ruins of the castle walls. He sat there, filled with grief and agony knowing he couldn't save his people. Seeing the lives he couldnt save. He sat in a old wooden chair. There he thought what comes in the distant future. He lost everything, he became pessimistic, filled with grief and hatred for the people who took everything away from him. Later he knew that grieving won't get him anywhere so he learnt to accept defeat. However his hatred made him a promise. He will do whatever he can do in his power to restore his Fallen Kingdom..
