This piece is dedicated to the late Wayne Static of Static-X, who tragically passed away late this year.
lyrics
Never new how badly we all needed you thrown in the mix
You changed the world, you changed my world
You made the fabric of the industry unfurl
Threw it in the loom
You took a worn and tattered blanket
Made an tapestry of music
Didn't make sounds, fucking created sound
Did things with a tune and notes the likes of which we’d never seen
Music that defied all forms of chemical logic
Words that cut me like a knife, so I bled for days on end
Like a lunatic you conquered
A musical shock treatment, static for the mind
Dead before your time
Your anniversary of life, just within your grasp
Now we celebrate your life, knowing that it’s come to pass
This is my recompense, this is my damnation
Remembering, not thinking, my Ostegolation
You will always be a master
Never living in the past or in the present
But eternal
Time has no meaning for your name
Your name is permanent
Your name is fixed
Your name is Static
