Backstory:
Established in the heart of London in 2011, ‘Virtuous Bone’ emerged from a shared passion for heavy metal and poetic lyricism. The dynamic trio, comprising of Riley ‘Riot’ Matthews on vocals and guitar, James ‘Jigsaw’ Turner on bass and backing vocals, and Zach ‘Zephyr’ Johnson on drums, all met in a dingy London pub known for its vibrant underground music scene. After a few jam sessions and a mutual admiration for each other’s musical prowess, ‘Virtuous Bone’ was born. They decided to create music that explored the darker realms of the human psyche, interwoven with instrumental prowess and raw vocals.
The band’s first gig at a local pub started circulating around the underground music scene and quickly garnered a loyal fanbase. The band’s raw energy, coupled with their unique take on heavy metal, impressed audiences and critics alike. In the span of just a decade, ‘Virtuous Bone’ has contributed to the international heavy metal scene with six studio albums, several chart-topping hits, and countless electrifying live performances.

Title:
“Scars of the Sacred”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em (C) Look into my eyes, see the chaos within,
G (D) Born from pain and sacrifice, branded by sin.
Em (C) We slave, we strive, every struggle, every strife,
G (D) Carved into our souls, the scars of life.
(Chorus)
C (Em) Scars of the sacred, etched in stone,
G (D) Echoes of battles, the seeds we’ve sown.
C (Em) The virtue in pain, the marrow in bone,
G (D) We rise, we fall, but we’re never alone.
(Verse 2)
Em (C) Through the storm, through the fire, through the darkest desire,
G (D) We stand strong, unconquered, hearts ablaze, never tire.
Em (C) This is our journey, our anthem, our song,
G (D) Scars of the sacred, where we belong.
(Chorus)
C (Em) Scars of the sacred, etched in stone,
G (D) Echoes of battles, the seeds we’ve sown.
C (Em) The virtue in pain, the marrow in bone,
G (D) We rise, we fall, but we’re never alone.
(Bridge)
Am (Em) Bound by the chains, yet free in our hearts,
F (C) Unbroken, unbeaten, playing our parts.
D (Em) In the dance of destiny, we’ve known,
G (D) Scars of the sacred, a legacy shown.
(Chorus)
C (Em) Scars of the sacred, etched in stone,
G (D) Echoes of battles, the seeds we’ve sown.
C (Em) The virtue in pain, the marrow in bone,
G (D) We rise, we fall, but we’re never alone.
Outro
G (D) Scars of the sacred, our story told,
Em (C) Virtuous Bone, forever bold.
