Bloodshed (ft. Kasane Teto & SOLARIA) [SynthV Original]

Part 1:    • Bloodlines  (ft. SOLARIA) [SynthV Original]  
This song is part of my first album Red Blooms:

Bandcamp: https://cindersnow.bandcamp.com/album/red-...

I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. My laptop was not, however. The video editing software lagged constantly while working on this. Thankfully the video turned out fine after the exporting process. I hope you guys like this more than the last duet I made. That was my worst performing song...

Next video might be for the song Sorry Sister. I want to post something with Stardust on this channel soon. Or I might do something for one of my upcoming projects first. I haven't decided for sure yet. You can listen to that song now at the album link above.

I also post exclusive things there that anyone can view for free. Money made from Bandcamp or Ko-fi will go towards things like buying voicebanks and hiring artists for MVs.

Lyrics:
I grew up in a cruel world with no one truly by my side
My family only interested in saving their pride
My whole body is in pain, I can't move now, my wounds so deep
Praying that the time comes soon when I rest in eternal sleep

I know not the peace of silence
Living in a world of violence
Nothing but never ending war
I can't stand it anymore

I see you standing in front of me with the same goal unfortunately
I look deep into your angry eyes holding the same cold expression as mine

I now tightly grip my blade, it weighs heavily in my hands
This is the part where we fight 'til neither one of us can stand
We both watch without moving, no, words are better left unsaid
Nothing you say will matter after I make sure you are dead

I know not the peace of freedom
Living for a cold cruel kingdom
Nothing but never ending war
I can't take this anymore

What's it like to live life as you do? Do you suffer as I suffer too?
I look deep into your golden eyes holding the same hesitation as mine

I grew up in a cruel world with no one truly by my side
My family only interested in saving their pride
What happens after today? I doubt I'll make it out of here
Even if I defeat you, the price I'll pay is very clear

I grew up in a cruel world with no one truly by my side
Our families only wanting to widen this deep divide
After fighting with you here, both our bodies are dyed with red
If only both of us were born in a peaceful world instead

What was the purpose of this? What was I even fighting for?
So many lives lost battling in this endless bloody war
What happens after I die? The light's coming but I can't tell
Even if heaven exists, I'll absolutely rot in hell

We grew up in a cruel world with no one truly by our sides
Our families only interested in saving their pride
We're both lying on the ground, words too difficult to be said
Nothing we say will matter when we won't make it to the end

We grew up in a cruel world with no one truly by our sides
Our families interested in mutual genocide
My whole body is in pain, I can't move now, my wounds so deep
Praying that the time comes soon when we rest in eternal sleep
