Demons Of Society

This song is about not letting society tell you what to be. You are who you are no matter what anyone says.

Demons Of Society.

(Verse)

Does your mind burn. 

Do your sleeves stick to blood soaked arms.

As you look in the mirror, yours eyes are blind to the sins of the world,

And forever you let go, lifting fears to the abyss.

(Chorus)

We will not wear their shackles,

From darkness we will rise.

To light and ashes we will die.

(Verse)

Have you heard them calling?

Do their curses whisper in your mind.

And will you mask yourself in the clothing of the demon 

A cloak of black silk soaked in the blood of your fear.

(Chorus)

We will not wear their shackles,

From darkness we will rise.

To light and ashes we will die.

(Bridge)

Tear from them their weapon,

They will recede.

Live your true beliefs,

They will believe.

(Verse)

We will pave the streets, we won't be held down!

Come and come at us again. You cannot silence us we are free. 

Free from the shackles of your fear. 

Our chains torn off from the demons of society.

(Chorus)

We will not wear their shackles,

From darkness we will rise.

To light and ashes we will die.

(Bridge)

Take up your armour and paint it proud,

Crash into the sea of suppression, and grasp your flag,

Rip it out of the demons grasp and strike them down.

(Chorus)

We will not wear their shackles,

From darkness we will rise.

To light and ashes we will die.

We'll break their chains and rise into the sky,

We'll break the chains and rise into the sky,

Rise into the sky

Absolutely empowering, I could imagine some heavy electric guitar chords to go with this or even a pair of cellists accompanying the vocals, though, I'm biased. Dual counter melodies to complement the vocals and the chorus before the first bridge unaccompanied- its so beautiful. Some piecing female vocalist or a heavy male voice rounded and coarse (in my opinion). I love it, if you ever record it I would love to hear it!

Well done Wicked. The message you send is strong and fearless. The last chorus at the end "We will break the chains and rise into the sky, And rise into the sky" I think you should change 'we will" to we'll. read it out loud both ways and you'll see when singing it with "we'll" sounds better. Remove the "And" from and rise into the sky and just leave it as "rise into the sky" Just my opinion. You're missing an A in weapon. (I don't mean to be a grammar nazi). Awesome lyrics.
