The World's System

With thanks to FBJ Matt [https://fatboyjamz.bandcamp.com/] for the title, which inspired the lyrics and overall intent.

The vocals are largely from synths (I input the melody and lyrics, the synth – Vocaloid in this case – generates the tone based on the selected voice and parameters.) There’s an occasional sung phrase too (the “weak tone and tune” bit, obvs!).

Lyrics

I heard that every man, one day, will be king
I’ve heard the rumours that
The bairns will not sing

Welcome to my fragile voice
It stands alone
Weak tone and tune
I stand alone

It stands alone
In the world’s system
That we rail against
Yet we stand alone

I heard that every man, one day, will be king
I’ve heard the rumours that
The bairns will not start the revolution
