Nocturnal

July 8th, 2010

(Music written and recorded by Agrippa in 2010)

Nocturnal is the 6th song released from Agrippa’s Laboratory, the solo project of Agrippa. The song’s music and style draws heavy influence from the industrial band, Ministry.

Lyrics: Nocturnal’s lyrics reflect an exaggerated view of Agrippa’s preference for night.

Lyrics written by Agrippa in 2010.

Silhouette of the trees

against a blackened sky

The shifting shadows

Never deceive my eyes

Recognize the moonlight

As my source of life

Animated only

By the darkest of night

I breath the night

And it brings me to life

Soak up the magick

of the full moon light

Sunset at last I come alive

I sense the moon will soon arise

Another night for me to thrive

In my nocturnal way of life

Never a child of the burning sun

The light of daybreak it feels like a ton

Born of night to the silver moonlight

The lunar glow in the darkest of night

Sunset at last I come alive

I sense the moon will soon arise

Another night for me to thrive

In my nocturnal way of life

Nocturnal, nocturnal

I breath the night air to feel alive

I shun the daylight to live the night

I breath the night air to feel alive

I shun the daylight to live the night

Nocturnal, nocturnal

Sunset at last I come alive

I sense the moon will soon arise

Another night for me to thrive

In my nocturnal way of life

In Studio: Nocturnal was produced and engineered by Agrippa in 2010. The song was developed from intro synth bass part that was originally part of the mid section of the A-Lab song Digital Remains. That section was cut from Digital Remains for better continuity and used to create a new song, which resulted in Nocturnal.

Aside from the synth intro, guitars and the foundation drum programming were recorded during the Digital Remains session, however all remaining instrument tracks and lyrics were written within 3 days in the studio prior to being released.
