Birth of a Dark God

The immortal Ronnie James Dio

Neural Nets are a great way to improvise some heavy metal lyrics. A few sessions on one produced this masterpiece. Which I can’t really take credit for completely… because the AI did the work. But  I was the one who strung it all together and made it make sense.

I mean sense enough to sit as heavy metal lyrics.

 

BIRTH OF A DARK GOD

Experiencing the birth of darkness,
The Dark God fell from heaven.
Within his belly, his sword, he laid waste to the land
And in his grief he entwined twin serpents with his dread hand.
With these serpents he adorned the dark abyss of the sky
Glimmering beneath, he cast a shadow which might never die.

Oh Wheel of Fire
Where are the Gods?
A rune handled by enemies
What are the odds?
Of a horseman riding the precipice of the boundless sky
A hair’s breadth away from annihilation.

[Wordless chant]

Chorus:

Feeding the flame
Feeding the flame
The Dragon Priests here and now
Are feeding the flame

Oh, here and now
As I lay dying
I rise, wings raised to my Lord
And I go flying
To my Father’s embrace and a home full of song
A hair’s breadth away from salvation.

[Wordless chant]

Chorus:

Feeding the flame
Feeding the flame
The Dragon Priests here and now
Are feeding the flame

Feeding the flame
Feeding the flame

Feeding the flame
Feeding the flame
