This was the first set of lyrics I have sent to Rex Santikorn as an experiment to see if our concept works. The song is about 3 person: me, my wife, and our then 2 year old girl, who simply refused to sleep till wee hours at night! This is our EP's most complex tune with multiple tempo changes, with very clean filtered vocals for the dreamy effect.The backing vocals from Rex is simply sensational.
Additional note: The title "No Sleep Till The Devil Knows When" is a tribute to a legendary Beastie Boys song "No Sleep Till Brooklyn", where the mighty Kerry King from Slayer was a guest guitarist for the track and MV. Remy Evilpanda is...well...kind of, sort of a Old School Hip-Hop fan.
lyrics
Verse:
Endless screaming like banished banshees,
Sent from the 7th depths of hell.
The blistering earache, impales through the heart, All around corpse of angels fell.
War enrages with no signs of ceasing,
It seems like all hopes are lost.
Left with nothing but despair and horror, The last two battle on!
Conjuring, the cloak of sleep,
Promising the last chance of silence.
Summoning the Sandman, the lord of all dreams, To end it all without violence...
Chorus:
No Sleep till, No Sleep till, No Sleep Till, No Sleep!
No Sleep Till, No Sleep Till, No Sleep till the Devil knows when!
Spoken Bridge:
We are the last two survivors, facing the devil herself.
She has no need for her underlings or her disciples from hell. Sleep will eventually conquer but patiently we wait,
As seconds tick by the hour is getting late...
Clean Vocal Verse:
Hey you devil, don’t say a word, I’m gonna buy you a mockingbird.
If that mockingbird won’t sing,
I’m gonna buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring turns brass, I’m gonna buy you a looking glass
If that looking glass goes broke, I’m gonna get you a billy goat
If that billy goat won’t pull,
I’m gonna get you cart and bull
If the cart and bull won’t bend,
There’ll be no sleep till the devil knows when!
