Description
This here is a collaboration with Florida's 'B.L. Barakus'. They sent me some instrumental tracks a few months back and asked if I'd be into coming up with some vocals for them. The songs were so sonically interesting to me that I couldn't say no.
When I heard this particular track, the film Blade Runner immediately popped into my head. So, being the geeky fanboy I am, I wrote the lyrics about Roy Batty, the main bad guy in the movie. Those of you that are familiar with the film will get it ;)
I was also asked to put together a bit of a video for the song using footage from the movie, and here that is (viewer discretion advised:
This song, as well as the others I sang on will be available later this year on B.L. Barakus' EP 'Morelife' at http://www.popuprecords.com

Lyrics
As you ascend to meet your maker
The strobing neon reflects off your dove white hair
The little man who stands beside you
He is wishing he were anywhere but there
You've been killing for more life (and you will kill for it tonight)
You'll do whatever it takes (to make this ending go away)
You've been dying all your life (but you don't want to die tonight)
And you will not give up the fight
As long as you're alive
You've been killing for more life (and you will kill for it tonight)
You'll do whatever it takes (to make these seizures go away)
You've been dying all your life (but you don't want to die tonight)
And you will not give up the fight
As long as you're alive
His eyes they look upon you
He knows what you have gone through
But he will not give you more time
He says he isn't able
He says it's impossible
But you can tell he's spewing lies
The rage comes down upon you
and You know not what you do
When you take his brilliant life
You reach out for his embrace
Put your hands on his face and
Crush his overactive eyes
You've been killing for more life (and you will kill for it tonight)
You'll do whatever it takes (to make this ending go away)
You've been dying all your life
And you will not give up the fight
As long as you're alive
Stay alive!
You've been killing for more life
You'll do whatever it takes
You've been dying all your life
And you will not give up the fight
As long as you're alive
The strobing neon reflects off your dove white hair
The little man who stands beside you
He is wishing he were anywhere but there
You've been killing for more life (and you will kill for it tonight)
You'll do whatever it takes (to make this ending go away)
You've been dying all your life (but you don't want to die tonight)
And you will not give up the fight
As long as you're alive
You've been killing for more life (and you will kill for it tonight)
You'll do whatever it takes (to make these seizures go away)
You've been dying all your life (but you don't want to die tonight)
And you will not give up the fight
As long as you're alive
His eyes they look upon you
He knows what you have gone through
But he will not give you more time
He says he isn't able
He says it's impossible
But you can tell he's spewing lies
The rage comes down upon you
and You know not what you do
When you take his brilliant life
You reach out for his embrace
Put your hands on his face and
Crush his overactive eyes
You've been killing for more life (and you will kill for it tonight)
You'll do whatever it takes (to make this ending go away)
You've been dying all your life
And you will not give up the fight
As long as you're alive
Stay alive!
You've been killing for more life
You'll do whatever it takes
You've been dying all your life
And you will not give up the fight
As long as you're alive
