SHARDIK

  / finowa666   Found this instrumental I made in 2010 on an old external hard drive, decided to write and record vocals for it because why not. I really like the riffs. And there needs to be a proper brutal song about Shardik (or Mir) the bear, from Stephen King's The Dark Tower series. Amazing art by Kyla Kemmerer.

Lyrics:

Maggot infested cavities are dripping with mucus
my fur is matted with blood, strictly my own
All I hear is the deafening maddening whinnying of the radar dish
mounted on my rotting head

Death may be coming my way in shape of a junkie's bullet

My tear ducts are brimming with blood and oil inserted by the old ones
The grass is paved by my idiotic looping path programmed by someone

I've devolved into a biped, mandible caked in foam and pus
Roaming this patch of a toxic forest, corrosion in it's roots

I'm the first and last of my hideous kin
Design flaws consuming my structure from within

See the Bear of fearsome size! All the worlds within his eyes
The world beneath the world
Mir

Madness and fever
Fire starter eater

Yet not the first, nor last of my ancient brethren
Guarding the beam in the name of Maturin

Chase you up a tree, no one will fuck with me
death may be coming
Exhaling worms through my nostrils
cover you in the phlegm of my fathers
Yes, death is coming

Deteriorating over millennia
subnuclear cells depleted, let me rot
A single bullet fired from a six shooter
tears into the dish, Mir is extinct

See the Bear of fearsome size! All the worlds within his eyes
See the turtle of enormous girth
on his shell he holds the earth

Madness, fever
Fire starter eater

The world beneath the world
Mir is extinct
