Wastelands of Tomorrow - Progressive Rock+Vocals - AudioSupernova

Been working on incorporating vocals into my music over the last year. Here's the latest example of me squawking into the SM7B. Let me know what you think.

Lyrics:
(Verse 1 )
What will we tell our children when it’s over?
Oh I know the ashes of our world cry out to be reborn.
What separates us now is the thread that draws us near.
Who will we be if we’re swept into the chaos yet to come?
Oh what have we done, and what have we become?

(Chorus)
Death rains down on us day and night; rain or sunshine.
And though I can’t even hear the cries anymore,
Their blood calls out to me again.
The wasteland of war, it breaks us into pieces.
The hope of tomorrow is slipping away,
And all I know is disarray.

(Verse 2)
What will we tell our children when it’s over?
Oh the visions of this paradise, they came to be undone.
What would be the waking of our people to the truth,
Became the lie that swallowed up our dreams in darkened skies.
Oh what have we done, and what have we become?

(Chorus 2x)
(Bridge)
All we know; our hope and home, is broken.
The heart of our cities, burn brighter.
Oh can we grow and rise above the fire?
The final act of our time.

(Chorus)

nice tune! some production opinions:

needs more high end sizzle (10-15khz)

snare tone sounds too mid rangey (cut around 200-500hz)

piano bass and overall volume could be reduced to fit in the mix better

other than that, rocking dude!
