about

This is my third song in my "like for a song" series. It started being only about 4 minutes, then expanded to 6, then 7, 8, and so on until the final version ended up being nearly 13 minutes long. And, well, it's actually pretty good, methinks. Be sure to listen to all of it. ALL OF IT!

lyrics

Upon the dawn
A young man looked out
And he gazed past out o'er the water

He looked up and saw
He saw cross the south
And his gaze fell upon the true daughter

"Callous without the life unloved
Heart emblazened
Madness sourrounds my will be done
Soulless laden me..."

And to the brown earth
He muddled his blade
And beset for the lie he embraced
(No greater challange had he faced...)

Softly he crept upon the bow
Towards the seated
Godly adept unspoiled how
Maiden bleated
"Avast ye now, I take thy hand
For tomorrow
We cross to traverse distant lands
You will follow me..."



A thinning in the distance
A descent from on high
A pedestal uprooted
A prophecy on nigh
The shattered walls they crumbled
Forsook with no employ
No lesser man would follow
The Fall of Troy



Bliss ever-after endless dream
Sore mistaken
Sightless unseen a silver gleam
Love's life taken
Wither a flash so short to last
Bloodied token
Witness collapse the seeds relapse
Man's will broken

Fractured resolve corrupt devolve
Breeding hatred
Seething uncouth so blind to truth
Sentence fated
Finding no path perchance to fail
Endless battle
Feeling no sorrow slay exhale
All like cattle

"All hopes and dreams destroyed at once
Nothing matters
No want nor need benevolence
My life shattered
Innocence gone no goal beyond
Falling lifeless
Absent a soul, absolve, abscond
Make me sightless"

All laid to waste, no living trace
No tomorrow
But with devolving laying waste
Time is borrowed
"Live by the blade, fall by thy sword
Lest redemption
Comes to thy aid, allow these words
Slowly mention
Fighting tension
Every inch in me..."



A thinning in the distance
A descent from on high
A pedestal uprooted
A prophecy on nigh
The shattered walls they crumbled
Forsook with no employ
No lesser man would follow
The Fall of Troy




A never-ending journey
Across the silver sands
Through the wretched hills and forests
Of a thousand foreign lands

Atonement for the fallen
Attempt to cleanse one's soul
Painted black as stolen ember's dying coal

Lost and long forgotten
A wary path he treads
A single oath unbroken
To rectify the dead

A thousand souls of tarnish
A century of sin (to repent)
But with no earthly measure
He nonentheless pressed on...



A thickening from distance
An ascent from below
A pedestal recovered
With hope's triumphant glow
And though the walls had crumbled
His honor was deployed
A greater man shall follow
The Fall of Troy



Troy has fallen
Troy has fall'n...
Troy has fallen
Troy has fall'n...
Troy has fallen
Troy has fall'n...
Troy has fallen
Troy has fall'n...
