Callie,
Uh, well, I was somewhat concerned that the world's greatest musical software company based in Canada had grievously fallen short in paying full homage to the greatest band of all time, that is from, well, like Canada.
I have never heard of Metallica---who are they?? do they sound anything like ABBA??--but I have heard of RUSH!!! (who hasn't eh?) and so I built a style in BIAB after some mash ups to sound like RUSH.
I feel I am fully entitled now to my dual citizenship and if I do not receive it by the end of the year I may have to call a few people and see about the hold up.
Here's to Canadian Rock, eh!!!! Closer to the Heart!! The ploughman and the artist both must do their part!!

From the Multi Platinum Release "Farewell to Queens"
By David Snyder
V1
In a dream from Samuel Coleridge
Of the mighty Kubla Khan
They smoked incense and opium
For the judgment yet to come
And the goblins danced like fairies
To cast their elvan spell
To some it was a quorum
To others it was hell
CH:
And the Phoenix and the Gargoyle
Were both from Canada
One was a beautiful singing bird
The other he was not
In the Halls of the great Valhalla
The mighty Gods appease!
King Peter waved his Magic Wand
And the people bowed to please!
V2
Alex, Neil and Geddy Lee
On the isle of greenish Kent
Staring at the Gibbous moon
Wondering where it went
And all the sad brave warriors
Who had been singing from the heart
Knew their days were numbered
For the skies were growing dark
Growing Dark!
They knew their days were numbered
For the skies were growing dark
Growing Dark!
Bridge
And when would come the savior
To restore the mighty throne
And clear the city of the rats
Bringing plague to the village gnomes
From Scotland to the sewers
Sir Floyd stood brave alone
On the banks of the sacred river Alph
Where no eagle yet has flown
Where no eagle yet has flown
V3
And who would pull Excalibur
To set the Kingdom right
With blazing sounds from a Fender
To sanctify the night
And who would wield Excalibur
To sanctify the night?
Between the Phoenix and the Gargoyle
Who would win the fight?
Between the Phoenix and the Gargoyle
Who would win the fight?
