I know this needs a bit of work but I'm hoping you get the gist of it.

Oh and the bridge-bits are supposed to be unintelligible, there aren't actually any words being said. Just, whatever they are. As for the lyrics;



Don't settle for blood rushed into those empty crevices
Where you've hidden everything
The years that the locusts have all but eaten
They will return

Ooo (or something) She (or something) x2

You hide in your smiles and your warm sacred senses
A city of skin
Set judgement upon me as
Dogs to an assailant of what remains
Of what came before

Ooo (or something again) She (or something again) x2
We are x4

A really interesting track that I enjoyed listening to.

Move away from the mic. Too much blowing going on.

You need a pop shield too.

Cut the bass on the vox too. You're getting a pretty bad proximity effect (the closer you go to the mic, the bassier/boomier it gets). Use the bass roll-off if you've got it on your mic.

I liked your gregorian type vocals. There were some nice little harmony surprises.

Nice ideas.

Alan.
