“The Poster and the Pendulum”

All alone in a sea of familiar faces
I turn to smile, arrived
At the bridge of seven traces
I turn my mind to chafe
Blown in the wind
Holy father we have sinned
There’s nothing left for me
So let us watch the Pendulum swing

Swinging... swinging... swinging...
“Blessed be him who hath understanding in these troubled times to awake and arise.”

AND OPEN UP YOUR EYES!

I took another wrong turn
I got too close to fire, started to burn
I couldn’t understand at all
Couldn’t run away from the fall
Please believe me when I say
I didn’t want it to end this way
Someone listen, hear me cry
I have a feeling that I shall

What did I get myself into
Where did I go wrong
It was the portal of damnation
And in Hell is where I belong

Step inside my world of lists, it’s the haven for the damned
When you cry for those you’ve missed, maybe here they take command
I want to leave so bad, but I’m trapped in a spider’s web
Now that I’ve been driven mad
Take a breath
See the tide ebb
And watch the Pendulum swing

I’m burning in the light
Another wild child out tonight
I cannot run or hide
And my mind just won’t abide
Can’t you hear me calling
I’ve tried to get away
And now that I’m heading
To my cradle and my grave... there’s no coming back!

Fueled by dieselwork and dust
Now the diamonds in the rust
Cannot lead me out of here

Step inside my world of lists, it’s the haven for the damned
When you cry for those you’ve missed, maybe here they take command
I want to leave so bad, but I’m trapped in a spider’s web
Now that I’ve been driven mad
Take a breath
See the tide ebb
And watch the Pendulum swing

All that I have known
All that I have seen
All that I could learn
All that I could feel
My emotions frozen
Now I bite the dust
One day I’ll return
In the coffin or so I trust

Welcome to your world of lists
You built up to this
You are all this
Welcome to your world of shit
It meant nothing
And so you’re down and we throw away the key

I’m spinning... I’m spinning...
See the Pendulum go
I’m spinning.. I’m spinning...
The world begins to slow
Oh help me, please help me
Nowhere left to roam...
I’m calling ... I’m calling...
See the Pendulum go...
I’m calling out!

Step inside my world of lists, it’s the haven for the damned
When you cry for those you’ve missed, maybe here they take command
I want to leave so bad, but I’m trapped in a spider’s web
Now that I’ve been driven mad
Take a breath
See the tide ebb
And watch the Pendulum swing

We’ll watch it swing
Can’t change a thing
Caught in the ring
We will watch the Pendulum swing

Suicide
I couldn’t hide
The Pit below me, the Pendulum swings above
Never mind
Fuck it all
I didn’t want to live anyway...
Little Brucie, erected and mean
Ain’t he the cutest that I’ve ever seen?
He’s got two balls like Dick and Van Dyke
When he cums in he’s as straight as a pike!
Brilliant! Do you have melodies for those?
 
Yes to the first one, and I’ll record vocals ASAP.

The second is just a parody of “Mr. Sandman”. :P

Jeez I didn't think this would even get this far lol.
 
I know this thread is pretty much a joke now, but I am always up for collaborating with other Maidenfans. Just let me know. I can mix too.
I mean, I’d love to do this sort of thing, even if it’s a parody / joke thing. If we can come up with a plan on how to do this then I’d love to.

Yeah @Yax isn't around anymore so we do need a new mixer.

For those who aren't aware, it's happened before.
 
I can aid with the mixing and sequencing (if any). I would also like to participate in guitar parts again however I'd like to buy a proper rig recording microphone first and avoid DI and post processing. My rig contains the amp God used on Somewhere in Time btw.
 
I’m doing demo vocals for “Pendulum” and a prototype “Listmaker” I came up with. If there’s anything else I should record, lemme know.
