I've always wanted to do a cover of this song, and I actually started making this cover back in 2015. I was trying to get it done and align it's release with the release of the game Metal Gear Solid 5 in September of that year, but the work on getting Vice Quadrant out the door had me shelve it.

I only did some of the drums for this cover back then though, everything else in the song was recorded in February and March of 2021.

Follow the smokey heads that appear! They are singing all the vocal parts!
I did alot of double tracking for the lead vocals of this song, so two heads are usually always singing...sometimes three. There are also some heads doing harmonies and background stuff that appear on the right of the screen usually, plus two extra smaller heads that appear for select parts. HEADS!

Lyrics:

What a thrill
With darkness and silence through the night
What a thrill
I'm searching and I'll melt into you
What a fear in my heart
But you're so supreme

I give my life, not for honor, but for you (Snake Eater)
In my time, there'll be no one else
Crime, it's the way I fly to you (Snake Eater)
I'm still in a dream, Snake Eater

Someday you go through the rain
Someday you feed on a tree frog
It's ordeal, the trial to survive
For the day we see new light

I give my life, not for honor, but for you (Snake Eater)
In my time, there'll be no one else
Crime, it's the way I fly to you (Snake Eater)
I'm still in a dream, Snake Eater (Well don’t you know, you gotta know)
I'm still in a dream, Snake Eater
