Rules of the Game

about

Finally a track where our drummer pulls his weight! This is another one of our most ambitious tracks, with the length being our longest in a while. We really pushed the prog motifs on this track... O.O

This particular track uses two types of guitars.

The ESP LTD Snakebyte SW is loaded with two EMG 89s (one neck, one bridge) and has an 11-56 pack with the bottom 56 replaced by an 80-gauge bass string, tuned to GGCFAD.

The Agile Interceptor 727 EB CP Oceanburst Flame with the Floyd Rose has the 10-74 pack with the 64 "B" string taken out as always, tuned to Drop G (GDGCFAD).

Again, just like any recent One Minute Winter track the bass is a Dingwall NG2 Laguna Seca Blue 5-string bass custom-loaded with Kalium strings tuned to GDGCF through the Darkglass Alpha-Omega Ultra.

Drums, just like always, is the 3 Sigma Audio Top Shelf Drums combined with Taylor Larson Luke Holland Drumshotz and GetGoodDrums Matt Halpern signature pack.

lyrics

virtual singers used: Eleanor Forte

rainy morning, city's filled
start of new life, giving me chills
run to the local park and
find some new friends
hope this goes well
is this the end

days move forward, so does hope
let's pray it won't end in slopes
days move forward, so do years
let's pray it won't end in tears

they say great minds do think alike
some words go hand in hand just like
higher desire and fire
higher desire and fire
here we roll out the play of the year
haters gonna hate
these are rules of the game
they say great minds do think alike
some words go hand in hand just like
higher desire and fire
higher desire and fire
here we roll out the play of the year
today

UNLEASH THE SANDPIT TURTLES
WE FIGHT 'TIL THE END OF THE NIGHT
UNLEASH THE SANDPIT TURTLES
LEAD FROM THE FRONT
FIGHT AGAIN AND AGAIN

days move forward, so does hope
let's pray it won't end in slopes
days move forward, so do years
let's pray it won't end in tears

they say great minds do think alike
some words go hand in hand just like
higher desire and fire
higher desire and fire
here we roll out the play of the year
haters gonna hate
these are rules of the game
they say great minds do think alike
some words go hand in hand just like
higher desire and fire
higher desire and fire
here we roll out the play of the year
today

tell me tell me
what have you gone through today?
tell me tell me
did you join the fray?
tell me tell me
what will you go through tonight?
tell me tell me
will you learn to fly?
tell me tell me
what did you do yesterday?
tell me tell me
did you go and play?
tell me tell me
what will you go through tonight?
tell me tell me
will you learn to fly?

these words
make no sense in this world
at all but
I will use them anyway
now still I
hate them so I hope they just
die, fried
why do I use specifics? no clue

these words
make no sense in this world
at all but
I will use them anyway
now still I
hate them so I hope they just
die, fried
why do I use specifics? no clue

just out of the woods
things are not so looking good
no food
50,000 feet floating in the air
calling out for help
nobody listening
no food
we're all gonna die
floating in despair

we got blamed for deaths
we weren't even at the scene
apparently they say
we helped the guy to the deed
calling out for help
nobody listening
no food
we're all gonna die
floating in despair

I testify
to prove my innocence
why pick on me
why pick on me
why pick on me
the proof is there
but I still get sentenced
why pick on me
why pick on me
why pick on me

gloomy morning, city's filled
getting hanged soon, giving me chills
here is the end of it all
still got no friends
we all knew how all this would end
days move forward, but not hope
just as we feared, ended in slopes
days move forward, so do years
just as we feared, ended in tears

they say great minds do think alike
some words go hand in hand just like
higher desire and fire
higher desire and fire
here we roll out the play of the year
haters gonna hate
these are rules of the game
they say great minds do think alike
some words go hand in hand just like
higher desire and fire
higher desire and fire
here we roll out the play of the year
today

end of the day, we lost the game
end of the day, we lost the game
end of the day, we lost the game
that day
