Sarene
by John Anealio
The city walls are covered with slime and sludge
I found a friend in Galladon the Duladen
and scripted Aons of pure light
A princess came to offer us
a solution to our plight
Oh Sarene, I wish that I could tell you
That I'm the Prince of Arelon
Oh Sarene, you think you're doing the right thing but it's wrong
Hrathen has three months to convert the populace of Kae
If he fails than the people of Arelon will be slayed
by the holy soldiers of the Fjordell Empire as they descend upon the innocent
it's up to use to save them
Oh Sarene, I think it's time to tell you
That I'm the Prince of Arelon
Oh Sarene, I think the time has come to claim the throne
Oh Sarene, we must protect the city
from Derethi monks and warriors
Oh Sarene, it's up to us to stop this massacre
by John Anealio
The city walls are covered with slime and sludge
It's difficult to find someone to trust
The Shaod took a hold of us and left us dead inside
Every scratch is agony where the pain will never subside
Oh Sarene, I wished I could have known you
Oh Sarene, I'm sorry that I'm gone
Oh Sarene, Your the one I wanted all along
Oh Sarene, I wished I could have known you
Oh Sarene, I'm sorry that I'm gone
Oh Sarene, Your the one I wanted all along
I found a friend in Galladon the Duladen
We organized a union of the denizens from Elantris
We washed the walls and planted seedand scripted Aons of pure light
A princess came to offer us
a solution to our plight
Oh Sarene, I wish that I could tell you
That I'm the Prince of Arelon
Oh Sarene, you think you're doing the right thing but it's wrong
Hrathen has three months to convert the populace of Kae
If he fails than the people of Arelon will be slayed
by the holy soldiers of the Fjordell Empire as they descend upon the innocent
it's up to use to save them
Oh Sarene, I think it's time to tell you
That I'm the Prince of Arelon
Oh Sarene, I think the time has come to claim the throne
Oh Sarene, we must protect the city
from Derethi monks and warriors
Oh Sarene, it's up to us to stop this massacre
Here are some of the tools that I used to record the track:
- Martin Acoustic Guitar for the strummed acoustic parts
- Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar
- Standard Tuning for the rhythm parts and riffs in the chorus, the Edge-like delay guitar part in the second verse, and the harmony solo in the outro.
- Open A (EAEAC#E) for the slide guitar parts in the chorus.
- Washburn Bass Guitar
- Rode NT-3 microphone (to record the acoustic guitar and my vocals)
- Apple Logic Pro 7 recording software
- The ESP and ES1 software synths for the synthesizer sounds in the beginning
- Logic's included compressor, delay, phaser, and reverb plug-ins
- The electric guitar parts were recorded through Logic's Guitar Amp Pro plug-in
