Скачать или смотреть Vance West - God of the Wreckage (Official Video)

The song "God of the Wreckage", the third release from a concept storyline volume of music called "Streetlamps", created by Vance West.

A former professional recording and gigging drummer, I create various music projects to play drums to for fun - I'm old. Subsequent recordings will have drum performance videos with re-recorded drum tracks - gives me another creative outlet. Drummers have mostly been replaced and/or minimized by technology for quite some time now, I wanted to demonstrate a different perspective, and how technology can allow drummers to create it all now if inclined to do so. Nothing beats human creativity imo, but... this sure is fun and beats having to deal with most human singers :)

Lyrics
----------
[Intro]
Shattered frames on the bedroom floor
Your coat still hanging by the door
Coffee cup with your lipstick stain
Every breath just says your name

[Verse 1]
I pound my fists on the midnight wall
Echoes answer
But they let me fall
You were here
Now you're gone
Just a ghost in the hall
I tear the sheets like they’re made of blame
Every thread is burning with your name
If there’s a plan
Why’s it written in blood and flame?

[Chorus]
God of the wreckage
Where were you then?
When she was crying
When hope gave in
You made the stars
But you took her light
How can you watch while I drown in this night?
If there’s a mercy
It’s hiding its face
I drop to my knees just to curse at the sky
Because you let her die

[Verse 2]
Church bells ring like a funeral taunt
Empty pews and a hollow font
They say “have faith”
But they never lost what I want
I light a candle
It spits and dies
Like every prayer that I ever tried
If love was yours
Why’d you cut out our hearts with a lie?

[Chorus]
God of the wreckage
Where were you then?
When she was shaking
Alone at the end
You shaped the seas
But you sank this life
Tore out the page where we’d turn out alright
If there’s a meaning
It hides in the pain
I stare at the cross till the tears run dry
While you let her die

[Bridge]
Was she just dust on your battlefield?
Collateral under your shield?
Would you even hear me
If I screamed till my throat just peeled?
I’d trade my soul for another day
One more sunrise on her face
If that’s the price
Then take me
Take me in her place (yeah!)

[Chorus]
God of the wreckage
I’m raging again
If you are there
Then answer this sin
You forged the thunder
You split the sky
Prove you are more than a watcher on high
Because if you’re holy
Then why did you choose
To rip out the heart that gave me this life?
While you let her die
While you let her die (oh, you let her die)
