This is the third track from a rock opera I'm writing based in the Fallout video game universe which you can read here:

It's about a boy called Max looking for his lost sister - part 3 is nearly finished and that's going to conclude Act 1 which is Max's story.

Act 2 is going to be about his sister Cindy's story.

So in this song he has travelled through the desert and is questioning why his God is testing him.

I think these are my best vocals to date, I've improved on my technique a lot.

Lyrics:

I said my prayers

On a broken heart

Is he even there?

Half my hope is shattered

I cry for help

Just to lift this burden

Ask why the hell

Must I receive this punish-ment?

My lightning bolt

He’s my shining father

I’m clothed in smoke

As he lights the arrow

When the door is closed

He’s the silver handle

The mighty oak

With a frightening shadow

I make my way

I resist the carnage

He doesn’t care

He’s on a different channel

My feet are bare

Lord I’ve truly suffered

The meat is scarce

Oh won’t you be my nourish-ment?

My lightning bolt

He’s my shining father

I’m a broken soul

Tide has washed the fragments

When I’m having doubts

Won’t you lift me skyward?

When the light goes out

Guide me towards the harbour
