PROSPERITY by JONJON - Zona

Lyrics

[choir layers, dynamic drums, djent guitars, dark ethereal vibe, dramatic crescendos, progressive metal + alternative + ambient tone.]

[intro]

[slow ambient piano intro]

[Long, airy “space-like” tones intro]

[Warm, emotional notes underneath the vocals]

My head

Hangs below

The waters

Buried in sand

My muddy vision

And sand covered hands

Grabbing at fireflies

To cover up the light

Of moving forward and hope

[slow guitar build up]

Looking past the scripture

That was written for the lost

But, was never taught that

Forgetting the Word would cost

I throw my own morale compass In the trash

I look for the word

But am always constantly disturbed

I may not want to learn

These emotions churn

The fire in my heart burns

I want to be good

I want to be fixed

But what is the right direction

What is my decision

Before the closing curtain

[chorus]

I got hands around my throat, choking on what’s going on below

Even the demons fear what’s hidden under that cloak

I’m soaked in blood, shivering in the flood

Looking back recalculating what I’ve done

my shadow blocks out the sun

Revealing the fractures in time

Falling back and ignoring the signs

Taking back what’s mine, to stop my own lies

[SCREAM]

I WILL PROSPER

AAAGGGGHHHH

I WILL PROSPER

[BREAKDOWN]

[verse2]

Yea

I sharpen my tools, and follow the carpenter

Listening to the words, all can read

Not all can be heard, cut out of the herd

All my life misinterpreted, I’ve never stopped and listened

The missing link, not one had fitted

If I could take it all back, I would

One less heartbreak away, stopping my division

[SCREAM]

I WILL PROSPER

I WILL

I WILL

[BUILD UP]

[SCREAM]

PROSPER

YYYEEEEEEAAAAAAA

[guitar solo]

[outro]

I got hands around my throat, choking on what’s going on below

Even the demons fear what’s hidden under that cloak

I’m soaked in blood, shivering in the flood

Looking back recalculating what I’ve done

my shadow blocks out the sun

Revealing the fractures in time

Falling back and ignoring the signs

Taking back what’s mine, to stop my own lies

Digging through the dirt

Seeing what I find first

At the bottom of that stope

Shedding what I loathe

These damning monsters

I will prosper

Yea

Yea

Yea

Yea, yea, yea

[SCREAM]

I WILL PROSPER

Oooooh

Oooohooooooh

Oh

I will prosper
