All the good things that being a bitch can bring.
After eight years in a tiny town in Idaho, ten more years in a small religious town in northern Arizona, one severe mental breakdown (and one small one), and a whole bunch of weird yet somehow fun stuff in-between, Orin needed to bust out. But pay no attention to her, she's just the one behind the real start--Nightshade, a Fender Stratocaster with a winning bitch attitude that almost rivals Orin's. Alright, so people who write about themselves in the third person are kinda creepy. But what more do you want from me? A website? Okay. Stop by http://www.sephain.com for a fun time... or something. There's always more info and music at http://www.geocities.com/wickedorinmusic/orinmusic.html as well.

Story behind the song
I am SO HAPPY WITH THIS SONG. Just so... everyone knows. This is a series of complete accidents that came together in a very glorious kind of way. It hadn't been any song that I was working on... just kind of screwed off in Fruity Loops and Acid and... all of a sudden I had the "no vocals or guitar" version. As for the lyrics... well, I've been working on this "thing" for a while, Broken Soldier. It's... like a novel... I guess. Sort of. Anyway. That's what I was thinking of when I was recording the lyrics, so I think that came out just fine... but certain fellow video game enthusiasts might find... other interesting meanings. And that's all I'm tellin' ya.
Lyrics
This is not our war This is a battleground You can tell by the blood around It's thick in the air This is not our war What are we fighting for? There's nothing left to fight Nothing left inside This is not our war This is not our time Something deep divine Has scarred us deep inside This is not our war This is not our time to fight This is not the time to know What we do is not right This is not our war None of these sins will be absolved Nothing we know will ever be solved And that's how it is This is not our war This is not a sacred ground This is not our fight to fight Anymore Well I can pretend That I know what I'm doing here And I know you can pretend That I'm right In the end we'll see What's to become of me, and you Never to see the light Of the stars that shine I'm lost here But I'm not alone and I'm not lonely I just happen to know I'm the only one And I'm lost here On the battleground In the war apart I made on my own I can not pretend to know I can not pretend to stay alone What are we doing here? What are we doing here?
