JaQbe - WASTELAND (ft. Paweł Hinc)

Second single from upcoming EP 'Reforged'.

This one is a proggy 'power ballad', a form that we excercised a lot in our old band - Soundforged, and the one that barely came up in this project until now. The track is also based on one of the unpublished old tracks from old times. Started (as usually) as Paweł's idea for melody/vocal line and I added my humble chords and other arrangements. Comparing to version from 8 years ago I changed a key/tuning and altered the instrumental section a lot (added some more djent-groove'y part).

Enjoy!

Special thanks to :

Full EP is coming within next month so keep an eye for comment down here with a link to it.

Lyrics :

(1st verse)
Imagine a day
When things were not
Morally gray
A place full of peace
Not knowing the grief or despair

Imagine a way
To safely escape from this realm
This wasteland of fears
Still binding us all day by day

(Chorus)
In wasteland you may hear me calling
In wasteland, calling out your name

(2nd verse)
(Get away, go)
Imagine a world
So much different from
The one we already know
A place full of life
Utopia frozen in time

Unattainable result of our devotion
A goal keeping us alive
Though we're stuck here

(Chorus 2/3)
In wasteland (wasteland)
You may hear me calling
/ Looking for you here /
In wasteland (wasteland)
Shouting out your name
/ Searching for a life out there /
In wasteland (wasteland)
You will see me falling
/ Falling down, the end is near /
In wasteland (wasteland)
Wasteland (wasteland)
Wasteland
Bury me here
