about

A note from Daniel:

This was the first song written for "Resonance". And the process of creating it was the most drawn out, as well as the most collaborative.

We tossed around the main riff of the first "movement" for nearly a year before coming up with a sort of instrumental chorus where I threw in some synth and mellotron, just to shake things up and make it sound more big and cinematic. Then, after shelving it for over a year, we wound up with two guitarists for the first time in early 2015, and began to pile on the various segments of the intro, each member of the band at that point contributing a bit here and there.

I completed the song by writing the 6/4 bass-driven riff that makes up most of the second movement, and reworking the main riff to close the piece.

The lyrics of GT are about the lethality of pride and hate to spiritual growth. Like the mighty giant Goliath, great is the fall of those who raise themselves high by bringing others low.

Though this recording remains an unpolished studio outtake, it's the only extant studio version of one of Omni's best songs, and as such, it only seems right that it should be out there, one way or another.

lyrics

The flames of war are in these eyes,
And looking here, there’s no disguise.
Reprise the role and take the toll
Of damage on the bitter whole;
Souls run red through eyes of grey
Venom falls from lips that feign to pray.
Relay: “dead heart, you’ve met your hour.
You’re standing on Goliath’s Tower.”

And on this day, there’s no disguise,
Admitting no refusals, lies.
“Reply.” A word escapes your grip.
Out of your soul, your secret’s ripped.
You trip over shackles hatred forged,
Running to the wrath you’ve stored.
For there’s no hiding in the hour
When God looks on Goliath’s Tower.

Wake to lightning,
Fortress falling.
Tremble this day –
Dies Irae
