November 13, 2006 - Additional song for the concept album. Hope you like it :)
Insane guitar! :)
Hello. I deleted a lot of my compositions on this site because of some copyright issues. I left a few for streaming. So this website won't be upto date anymore of my songs and stuff. Hope you understand. Thanks.
Story behind the song
My friend told me of an Edgar Allan Poe poem that kinda fits this song. So here goes.. (BTW, I did NOT base my song on this poem.. my friend seems to be a super EAP fan so she can think of a lot of EAP related things to parallel to my songs lol)

SPIRITS OF THE DEAD
by Edgar Allan Poe
(1827)
Thy soul shall find itself alone
'Mid dark thoughts of the grey tomb-stone;
Not one, of all the crowd, to pry
Into thine hour of secrecy.
Be silent in that solitude,
Which is not loneliness- for then
The spirits of the dead, who stood
In life before thee, are again
In death around thee, and their will
Shall overshadow thee; be still.
The night, though clear, shall frown,
And the stars shall not look down
From their high thrones in the Heaven
With light like hope to mortals given,
But their red orbs, without beam,
To thy weariness shall seem
As a burning and a fever
Which would cling to thee for ever.
Now are thoughts thou shalt not banish,
Now are visions ne'er to vanish;
From thy spirit shall they pass
No more, like dew-drop from the grass.
The breeze, the breath of God, is still,
And the mist upon the hill
Shadowy, shadowy, yet unbroken,
Is a symbol and a token.
How it hangs upon the trees,
A mystery of mysteries!
