Description: A prog metal song concept, currently has guitars, bass and drums and keyboards (courtesy of EvenKern). Looking for vocals (lyrics courtesy of iDiG). Track speed and time signatures: Intro (until 1:04) is in 75 bpm, (4 beats of 4/4, one beat of 6/4) x4, then 4/4. Main (starting at 1:39) section is in 95 bpm and 4/4 all the way through, outro (starting at 7:33)is in 85 bpm, all 4/4.
Project brief: Looking for vocals (male/female) using the lyrics provided (can be changed or replaced as well) for my track with the working title "The Weak Link". The title can of course change according to any ideas. I have uploaded two tracks, one with some vocal melody ideas I had, another one without them.

Lyrics
Lyrics by iDiG What I’m hearing from your lips Isn’t in your eyes Is truth too painful to script you had to sweeten it with your lies You drew me into your web Tangle me with love Carried away in your ebb And I’m drowning under your shove CHORUS I am trying, to be stronger Pull myself from the brink Can’t lose this fight, any longer But you’re my weakest link More I love you, the more I sink ‘Cause you’re my weakest link Loaded with guilt and self-doubt The moment we begin I need to get myself out But you keep pulling me back in Chorus REFRAIN Trying to get straight Trying to clear my head From under this weight From under this dread I can’t exist through I can’t resist you Chorus ALTERNATE VERSE#3 Lost in self-destructive past A spiralling spin Alanon helps to hold fast But you keep pulling me back in ADDITIONAL ALTERNATE VERSE#3 I’m trying to shake my past Self-destructive ways Your seduction holds me fast Can’t escape what your love betrays
