Baldur's Gate 1-inspired contest entry for ‪@JacobLizotte‬ #darkcabinstudios vocal contest. Raw vocals, schedule too tight to mix anything. Previous entries were about Diablo 2 and Guild Wars 1, so why not continue on that old videogames trend haha. Multiple takes merged together, the visual should in most cases match up with the audio.

I've been doing this for just a bit under 4 years, still a lot to learn before I'm somewhat good.

I am using a SM7b microphone going through a FetHead then straight to a Scarlett Solo (Gain at ~10 o'clock), recorded through Reaper.

Sections:
00:00 Intro (I will be...)
00:15 Verse 1 (Embracing the fire...)
00:42 Verse 2 (The prophecy the...)
00:57 Chorus (I will shape...)
01:32 Verse 3 (Maybe those nightmares...)
01:55 Breakdown-ish (Impending war death...)
02:23 Chorus (I will shape...)
03:06 Verse 4 (I'll succeed my...)

Lyrics:
"I will be the last. And you will go first"

Embracing the fire from my father
Now I, can see the, path to power unfolding in front of I
I, deathbringer, the enduring spawn
Born from the time of troubles
Searching wide and far for an answer
Silence, the end is near
My eyes, gazed upon this ancient text

The prophecy
"The lord of murder shall perish
But in his doom he shall spawn
A score of mortal progeny
Chaos will be sown from their passing
Sayeth the wise Alaundo"

I will shape the world
My blood boils inside my veins
The pull of the gods
I must pay their toll
This carnage can't escape me
Not here,
Not anymore as I
Hold the destiny of millions
To feed my fate

Maybe those nightmares will cease at once,
If I kill, destroy
Enough souls to awaken me
No one can know the power I hold, as I, reach out
To pull all the strings

Impending war
Death and pain on a massive scale
Shed the blood
The rivers will run red
A slaughter of extraordinary proportions, slaughter them all
A ritual worth of a god

I will shape the world
My blood boils inside my veins
The pull of the gods
I must pay their toll
This carnage can't escape me
Not here,
Not anymore as I
Hold the destiny of millions
To feed my fate
Hahahahahaha!

I'll succeed my father, into godhood
You will, all kneel down before the God of Murder
You will beg me, to spare your life
But I ignore your pleas
Your carcasses, on the ground
Fulfills this prophecy
