Backstory:
Sardonic Tower, a band of five close friends, emerged from the gloomy bayous of Louisiana. The band was formed in 2010 when lead-singer and guitarist, Jaxon Locke, convinced his childhood friends to take their high school jam sessions to a professional level. The group, made up of Locke, drummer Eli Hardy, bassist Max Silver, keyboardist Lara Finch, and backup vocalist and rhythm guitarist, Seth Morton, began honing their skills in a dilapidated tower Locke inherited from his eccentric uncle. The tower, known for its history and mystery, inspired the name, ‘Sardonic Tower.’ The band started playing gigs at local bars and clubs, gaining a reputation for their haunting melodies and sardonic lyrics. Their breakthrough came when a recording of their performance went viral on social media, leading to a record deal and solidifying their place in the music industry.

Full song lyrics with chord progression:
(Verse)
Am Em G D
In the shadow of the tower, beneath the moonlight’s glower,
Am Em G D
Barefoot and wild, running like a child.
Am Em G D
Tales of old, secrets left untold,
Am Em G D
In the heart of the night, we ignite.
(Chorus)
C G D Em
Climbing shadows, chasing echoes,
C G D Em
In sardonic tower, we find our power.
C G D Em
Rising higher, fueled by desire,
C G D Em
In the heart of the night, we take flight.
(Verse)
Am Em G D
Eyes wide open, words unspoken,
Am Em G D
Guided by stars, bearing our scars.
Am Em G D
Lost in this maze, set ablaze,
Am Em G D
In the heart of the night, we ignite.
(Chorus)
C G D Em
Climbing shadows, chasing echoes,
C G D Em
In sardonic tower, we find our power.
C G D Em
Rising higher, fueled by desire,
C G D Em
In the heart of the night, we take flight.
