Succession is a Denver-based progressive metal band with a shady past and a pension for tom-foolery. We have an extensive set list that includes originals and covers, and we're available to play clubs, parties, and dive bars... We're trying to infuse the Denver music scene with some killer progressive metal -- is it ready for this insanity?!? I guess we'll have to wait and see... stay tuned.

Story behind the song
As with most of the lyrics I write, I came up with an idea for a "story" and then put it into lyrical form. This song was originally written by Jeff and I while we were members of the band, Talisman. It's a very through-composed tune that has no "chorus" per-se--not really any repeating sections, etc. But we like it : )
Lyrics
Vagrant Soul (LaPolt/Succession) A lonely soul invaded the land Wherever he went everything wilted His flesh perished long before his soul Living as a parasite, he paid his toll To replace what was lost He nullified those who he met By invading their bodies and minds--He survived. . . His hatred for the living increased with time He began to enjoy stripping them of their lives Thrived on their experiences Learned from their mistakes Continual quest for a shelter from disease All convictions erased from his mind To identify this entity he would not dare The sense he once had of what reality held Shredded and tossed into the wind The one wisp remaining attacked and destroyed Parasite to humanity...animated by Death The asylum he required wore a clever disguise Wouldn't recognize it until he'd entered its core He continued inhabiting one person after another Seeking his truly ideal home The time soon ended to search for the soul The intelligence he possessed began to fester His vision distorted, just beyond his grasp His search ended vainly...Concluded at last Withered away slowly and left in his place A shattered and tortured shell of a man No one would ever understand The struggle of the soul to find its place Is often obstructed and led astray At length it perishes, grimly distraught Its quest inconclusive, bereft of all it sought
