Æther Realm
Slave to the Riff
[Intro]
I'm just another fucking slave
[Verse 1]
It's 3 am I should get some sleep
Balled up notes scattered at my feet
Chasing a feeling that I haven't felt
Since way back when
I held the foolish hope
That this would bring me peace
[Verse 2]
It's not enough, never
A voice insists I have to try to make it better
But better's never there
It's a ghost of a sound getting farther away
Diverged from the path, and it lead me astray
[Chorus]
The feeling it haunts me, eternally calling
It won't let me rest, and it won't let me forget
I'm just a slave to the riff
I'm just another fuckin slave
[Verse 3]
Signed and sealed in blood and sweat
All it costs is a soul? I barely have one left
I feel the sorrow cutting deeper and I can't resist
Now won't you just give it to me?
I've bled for this
[Voice Over]
Are you sure? I can grant what you seek
But you will be forever changed
You may not like what you become.....very well
[Instrumental Break]
[Solo - Jones]
[Solo - Burbage]
[Chorus]
The feeling it haunts me, eternally calling
It won't let me rest, and it won't let me forget
I'm just another fuckin slave
I'm just a slave to the riff
[Interlude]
Close your eyes
Let the melody hold you for a while
But only for a moment
[Instrumental Outro]
[Solo - Arnold]
