When Billy presented us with this concept and one of his amazing bed tracks we just couldn't say no could we...this is super heavy prog....cool....Andy and J turned in their headbanging monsta tracks and it meant I had a chance to scare the neighbours again....what more could we ask for... ROCK ON DUDES

The Black Emperor - Burrage 09

V1
The Black Emperor's drawing near
Bow down all heads in fear
He will never ever let you go
Your need will let you know

Brid
SCREAM......
For freedom and an end
DEATH.......
Can be your sweetest friend

V2
Empires will end too soon
Lay down your silver spoons
Take the life and things you dread
Shake the dragon from your head

Mid
Take my life Take my pride
Break my will no place to hide
Send me flowers from your fields
Who's to say now what is real

Operatic
Turn and face the sun
In fields we die as one
We all fulfil the needs
of a flower and its seed

oh yea, this sure is HEAVY!  I really like the intro build up in the song, I had no idea what was coming.  The song flows nicely, great job everyone.  The fast outro lick at the end is awesome!

Ohhhh, great job everyone...this is indeed very heavy.   Promotion you say Stoney .... I'll get right on it    It'll be interesting to see where this fits into the story ... must've been some bad stuff indeed.
