The desert smokes, the clouds are green, the hordes will move, Internecine..
the knife that cuts, will rip your heart, tear your very, soul apart,
the fight will be, for all you see, because you dont see, what they see,
on borrowed time, the dogs will run, and seek their moment, in the sun.

the dust of tomorrow will lay,
on the things that you do,
that you say,
it will fill every space in your mind,
deliver the death of mankind,
the dust of tomorrow will blow,
through the cultures you all used to know,
it will choke everything you behold,
destroy everything you've been told,

the ice is warm, the sceptics laugh, you know the world , will break your heart,
Embrace the truth, confront your fear, the pain of death,  is in your tear,

A lonely sea,a lonely sky,
will you be there, to question why,
the wind of change, is blowing cold,
should you believe, the things your told..

before you love, before you cry, you'll see your life, has passed you by,
complaceny, for all to see, will sacrifice your legacy,

the dust of tomorrow will lay,
on the things that you do,
that you say,
it will fill every space in your mind,
deliver the death of mankind,
the dust of tomorrow will blow,
through the cultures you all used to know,
it will choke everything you behold,
destroy everything you've been told,©Shadowfax6

Hi @shadowfax

A fade in.... you don't hear that often but I like it!!

Great production all round and the chord changes are unexpected but not jarring. I'd love to know how you get those guitar sounds.

I'd add a harmony vocal to the second half of each verse just to lift it, and there is plenty of space for that.

I love it when everything drops out. So unexpected but works really well and wow, when the guitars come back in - such an impact. I'm a big fan of song dynamics.

Great song and production.

Hi @Nick Ryder
the guitars are usually 2 or 3 guitars mixed together using either line 6 Helix or Amplitube...

Superb!  Nice indie rock vibe, beautiful softer section then 2:56 grabbed me even though I was expecting something (because I was looking at the waveform thingy).  I’m not qualified to comment on production but I love the song and the performance.

Cheers - John.

@shadowfax
It's been a while since I listened to you and I've enjoyed doing so now. It is a song with a special melody, sustained in intention and you have managed to do it successfully, very catchy, I like the lyrics a lot, great lines. I really like the reverb!!!
