In The Cult of the Lamb [xXtha Original | Cult of the Lamb Song]

I really wanted to try out some weird vocal effects by making a vocal sound as inhuman as possible and had just finished playing Cult of the Lamb (pretty fun game, you should check it out). I figured it would be the perfect contender for a weird sounding song. This one was pretty different from most of the songs I write and I tried to base a lot of my instrument choices around the original soundtrack. I think it turned out pretty well all things considered.
I hope you enjoy!

Cult of the Lamb by Massive Monster
------------------------------------------------------
Lyrics:
Gods bleed slower than the creatures knelt before them
Whispering of servitude and death
Chains bind thicker, galvanized by bones and liquor
Crowned immortal vessel, you were blessed
One can think no evil once their mind has gone insane
Speak only scripture holy or return to shallow graves
Blinded eyes must turn away, bring forth divinity and pray
Blood must spill to coat the name of He Who Waits
Take your place atop your throne of lies
Did you come here just to suffer or did you plan to comply?
I can see the anger in your eyes
But if god is meant for worship then a lamb is meant to die
In the cult of the lamb
Cult of the damned
Praise be the chosen ram
in the cult of the lamb
Tend your sheep, little lamb
The wolves draw closer
Take the Fates, in your hands
And stain your wool red
Rise anew, my servant
A blade to guide you
Salvation marks the end
A life worth fighting for
The prophets speak in riddles, every day they claim
The heretics will soon be cleansed of sin and shame
The tarots fall upon the ground
A future read without a sound
Can't you see they long to praise a new king again?
They're willing to submit to anything you say
Sacrificial slaughter is a cult's entrée
The shackles crumble piece by piece
With every heart that fails to beat
Don't forget your soul belongs to me
Take your place atop your throne of lies
Did you come here just to suffer or did you plan to comply?
I can see the anger in your eyes
But if god is meant for worship then a lamb is meant to die
In the cult of the lamb
Cult of the damned
Praise be the chosen ram
in the cult of the lamb
Tend your sheep, little lamb
The wolves draw closer
Take the Fates, in your hands
And stain your wool red
Rise anew, my servant
A blade to guide you
Salvation marks the end
A life worth dying for
Take your place atop your throne of lies
Did you come here just to suffer or did you plan to comply?
I can see the anger in your eyes
But if god is meant for worship then a lamb is meant to die
In the cult of the lamb
Cult of the damned
Praise be the chosen ram
in the cult of the lamb
Cult of the lamb
Cult of the damned
Praise be the chosen ram
in the cult of the lamb

I'll just say that "Take your place atop your throne of lies, Did you come here to suffer or do you plan to comply? I can see the anger in your eyes. But if God is meant for worship than a lamb is meant to die." Absolutely hits the tone of the game, and is amazing

Hey I'm sorry I'm totally ignorant I've just been getting a lot of weird random song suggestions lately so... what is this???

[@FrozenFennekin]

@@trishthedishluna no one’s responded to you yet so basically this is a song based on the game Cult of the Lamb where you play as a lamb who makes a cult for a being called He Who Waits in return for being resurrected. Gameplay wise it’s like if Animal Crossing meets a dungeon crawler but instead of making a town you’re making a cult. It’s not a horror game though, the video actually shows how the main character looks and the art style is very cute. The lore is a little dark though (but the game is about a cult so that’s not surprising).

Ram is a male sheep. Lamb is young sheep or meat from a young sheep. Damned is- you know what it is. Galvanized - coat (iron or steel) with a protective layer. I've listened to this song on a loop for three days. I'll just keep these definitions here for my sake.

WOAHH The main chorus and buildup is so good???

[@trevinasolyman9295]

It would be cool if In the second or third chorus (the repeating or catchy part of the song) instead of “If a god is meant for worship then a lamb is meant to die” it would be switched to “If a lamb is meant for worship then a god is meant to die” because once the lamb starts being worshipped by their followers the gods (aka bishops) die in the game

[@ComputerGoBRRR]

🚨Certified Banger🚨 This song goes hard. I feel like the vocaloid style and effects actually really add to the song instead of taking away. It also has 3 different styles (Intro, normal, and distorted) it switches between so it never gets repetitive or boring.
