Fire and Blood (ft Stacy Koviak​-​Davison)

about

I wrote this one, once again, on my 1973 Ludwig drumset, with zero ideas for the music. I had an idea to take one pattern and develop it dynamically from one extreme to the other. So this song has the same pattern with:
HiHat/Snare
Ride/Snare
Crash/Snare.

It also has basically the same organ and acoustic guitar parts throughout the whole song, with a "G" holding steady except for a couple spots in the song. Pretty much everything is playing the same parts - except for dynamics.

Then Stacy added Lyrics and vocals:
"I started writing lyrics for the "direction" challenge..and was writing lines about love and a relationship and then it drifted to climbing, and fire and flying and before I knew it I was writing a song about Daenerys Targaryen and her dragons. I liked that idea...so I went with it. I threw in a few subtle GOT references, but overall didn't want to go over the top - because this way the lyrics can still apply very easily to really intense love"

lyrics

you were born from the ashes
and I do not fear the flame
together we will unleash
and break the wheel in their game
and to those who may try
to stand in our way
you will wish you had never...

moving forward with conviction
never questioning why
as we take to the sky

climb on, climb on
we are racing faster than my breath can catch
fire
fire, fire
fire, fire

burn it down, burn it down
burn it all down to the ground
we'll be flying high up above
you'll never know
you'll never know this kind of love
this kind of love
this kind of love

while we are building this army
growing stronger every stride
there are those who will betray us
do not wish us alive
trust no one but each other
this is the way it has to be
it is because I love you
that I can set you free
and you return to me stronger
each and every time

they cannot harness our fire
as we take to the sky

we will not stop until we get where we are going
we will not stop until we reach where we are going

climb on, climb on
we are racing faster than my breath can catch
fire, fire
burn it down
burn it all down to the ground
'cause we'll be flying high above

hold on, hold on
the world is spinning down below
but we will fight
we will fight on
it's all we've ever known

we'll cross the desert
find our way across the narrow sea
nothing will stop us from becoming who it is
we're meant to be

fire, fire
burn it down
burn it all down to the ground
'cause we'll be flying high above
you'll never know this kind of love

you were born from the ashes
and I do not fear the flame

about

ZeCoop Kalamazoo, Michigan

I love playing music and keep learning new instruments. My songs are in a wide range of styles, from indie-rock to surf, to folk to rock to electronic... I never know. I record at home in a studio I put together in a spare room. I work (via the web) with a lot of vocal/lyric collaborators from all over the world.
