My Ultimatum

About the song:

This was the first song to be composed, as it was written already back in October - December 2020. It was supposed the be an instrumental only and at the time it looked like to be the last song for Project Viremia, which is an old music project of mine. Hence the track title, which was decided already back then, before any lyrics were written.

Some time after recording the instumental parts of this song, the idea of Griefsoul as a new music project started to take shape and I started focusing on new songs, leaving this one in the drawer for a couple of months, only to be picked up again and transformed from an instrumental to a more coherent song with lyrics and vocals. The song's length and more complex structure made it fit best as the ending track of the EP.

The lyrics in this song continue the theme of time as a limited quantity and the chorus tells about the concept that everything always equals out in the end. The verses also tell a mini-tale of different outlooks towards life.

lyrics

Lyrics:

I, a lonesome underdog,
avenger all alone,
out against the world.

I am reflection of...

You, clinging on this life,
out to buy more sand,
for your hourglass.
Too bad it's not up for sale.

What am I?
Another victim of time.
Fallen to guilt and left for atonement.

There's two sides in every coin.
Maybe these odds even out in the end.

Fear.
Worry.
Where to go from here?
The time is near.
Time to call the cards one more time.
One last time.

Your rights will be read at your funeral.
Better make no plans for time that will never come at all.

Still undimmed by time, soon attained by death.
Still undimmed by time, soon attained by death.

We, were not made for this world,
The world that made us fear,
Of losing all that's dear,
Yet I refuse to let go.
Won't let go.

What am I?
Another victim of time.
Fallen to guilt and left for atonement.

There's two sides in every coin.
Maybe these odds even out in the end.
