Lyrics
Out from the Shadows

another season near the end
In the winter
A lonely city with no friends

Out from the shadows
That hid they were empty
Into the light
Disfigured and ugly

Another reason to pretend
It’s the summer
and Burn the ants with twisted lens

Out from the shadows
That hid they were empty
Into the light
Disfigured and ugly

Penumbra lifted from my eyes
They were waiting for
The undertow of riptide lives

Intro reminded me of Black Dog :D
Good so far. Vocals would take it to next level. Guitars a little abrasive but nice tone on the lead break. Kinda think it needs a middle 8
 
I don't know if I did this right but I had to reduce the gain of the guitar track like 20dB just to be able to hear the vocals in my headphones. Currently, I don't really care what anyone thinks of my vocals, I just made up some quick lyrics. If anyone likes the lyrics, you are free to record in you own voice.



on the fractured pavement
in the crashing street
behind covered faces, to hide
boot heels between their teeth

they drive an unmarked van
Mining for brown gold
not too dark or light
no one too young or too old

Bootlickers around us
bootlickers to the sea
the enemy surrounds us
in the land of the free

bootlickers around us
bootlickers can't you see
the end is nigh upon us
in the land of the free
 
I like it. I'm not sure yet about the down section 1.30 - 1.45. I'd be tempted to mute something else in that section. I'd also be tempted to add something completely off the wall. I'd also be tempted to mess big time with the sound of one or more of the elements in what you already have in that section, for contrast - distortion, radical EQ, biblical wetness - dunno, I'd just try stuff.

Anyway, if you do get talked into adding vocals, maybe just bvs of some sort.
