about

Alex draws inspiration from foreign films, thus Lady Death began as a concept after he watched “Battle for Sevastopol”, a 2015 Ukrainian/Russian movie about the female sniper Lyudmila Pavlichenko, credited with 309 kills during WWII. Most of the arrangement and music came quickly after he wrote the “Russian patriotic” lick, which is a recurrent motif throughout the song. Justin’s lyrics present a first-person account of a sniper’s actions and thoughts, as she stalks her prey in the Eastern theater of WWII. The song is also unique, as it is the sole track in which Justin is explicitly taking the role of a female character. Recording for this tune happened quite fast and Lady Death became the first single off the upcoming LP, released in the Summer of 2019.

lyrics

Lyrics: McKittrick
Music: Kamburov

I don't feel the weight as the target is marked
I see the face, but acknowledge no soul
Unwitting lamb in the eye of the eagle
A bolt from beyond to the base of the skull

Screaming from my barrel
The kiss of sweet release

Concealed in shadow, at one with the dark
Cold blooded hunter, the hammer to pull
Lady Death with a quota near full

Screaming from my barrel
The kiss of sweet release

Prey, caught dead to rights
Marked, within my sights

Alone tempting fate, I play my part
With deadly grace, I'm pursuing my goal
A thorn in the side of ultimate evil
Cold force of vengeance set loose on the front

Never know my name, but you'll feel my sting
Unknown pursuer, the dealer of pain
Demon of black scorn at war with the Reich
Lady Death with her quota now full

Screaming from my barrel
The kiss of sweet release
Fear, Lady Death is near
Single shot, straight to the heart
