Falcon2001 Posted February 13, 2003 Report Posted February 13, 2003 (short, plucked scales on guitar) I sat upon a distant shore What did I believe? The things I did not think mattered Meant so much to me I found my life upon that shore Dusty and diseased I shied away from everything The help that I did need (strumming now) It caught me there in chains of gold A sight I longed to see The life I had been running from Finally caught up to me It asked me then in honeyed tones Why do you run away? I could not answer - I did not know Why I had so strayed (up higher now) My prayer heard, my soul was cleared My strength was found again The strength that I could never have The power from my friends I could not live a lonely life Devoid of love and trust I shunned my pain and lifted up A hand to clear the dust (Different pattern than earlier) Something I needed to feel Something I needed to free Something I needed to lose Something I needed to be (no lyrics for a while, assorted guitar stuff) (switch back to third pattern, higher strumming) And so I made the deadly choice Something wild and free A strength so great it filled me up Something else to be A jar to be filled is all I am Savoring the feel of free I thank my lucky stars tonight To be able to see (switch back to second pattern, lower strumming) This is no joke, this song my friends It happened once to me I came away from a life of pain And lived to still be me The pain is real, the horrid pain The pain of losing dreams I once was lost but now I'm found I found it inside me (switch back to first pattern lower fingerpicking) So no matter how far you fall You can get back up again The pain, it hurts - oh how I know The places I have been But now this song is over friends The final verse and rhyme I hope you learned from my dark past And live to see next time (final strum fades away)

Gyrfalcon Posted February 14, 2003 Report Posted February 14, 2003 *Gyrfalcon applauds* Good lyrics- have you worked out the background music though? Otherwise, it should do well, or at least I think so.
The Portrait of Zool Posted February 14, 2003 Report Posted February 14, 2003 You HAVE to record this, and distribute it through Wyvern productions... heh heh I REALLY want to hear it!
Mira Posted February 15, 2003 Report Posted February 15, 2003 http://www.themightypen.net/public/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif Where's the actual guitar parts, I want to play this. You have to get them to me.
Falcon2001 Posted February 15, 2003 Author Report Posted February 15, 2003 Heh, I actually have the guitar parts...I tabbed it all out so I wouldn't forget about it. I'll post a link as soon as I'm NOT tired.
Rune Posted February 27, 2003 Report Posted February 27, 2003 wow, If it sounds half as good as it reads then you should record it and post it as an mp3. I'd love to hear it.
