Lyric post
Aug. 21st, 2006 03:48 pmHere are bits from two unfinished "lyrics."
===
("Slaying the Dreamer"-ish, even including a similar allusion to the band name as TH does in his song. Needs a couple more verses and a coda. I need to stop rhyming. It's not like I try to, but I think of rhythms and rhyme comes straight to mind.)
Strike my name from the hall of heroes
Mock my pain with your ignorance
Hold me against what I call myself
"Dreaming dreamer, never do for once."
Can't choose my path for me
You think I don't know the way
I've been there before
Seen it all before
Any of you went that way
Waiting for the moment
This priestess finds her ministry
Think you know it all?
Think you'll see me fall?
You never even knew me!
Nothing will make the sun set sooner
Time doesn't speed the coming of the Midnight
Turning the clocks, but the sky's still brighter
Let go the reins, it isn't worth a moot fight
===
(This would work as the second song in my rock opera-esque saga thingy. What might be the first song is a verse which I won't share here, because I wrote it when I was half asleep and besides that, I want to keep something at least a bit of a surprise. There's something about the rhythm of the first two verses that's sort of ripped off from "Day 2: Isolation" from Ayreon's The Human Equation, but that's something that can be worked around, right? - As if the whole concept behind the story hasn't already "borrowed" bits of it... - With the references I've put in, the identity of Theiyonus is completely and utterly unmistakable.)
Me:
Where am I? What's this light before me?
Am I dead or in a dream?
There's someone here, someone else besides me
And I can't remember where I've been
Theiyonus:
It is me, I'm the one here with you
I'm both one you know and don't
Be not afraid, I know what you've been through
You're in a place where dreams confound you
In the night you dreamt a white rose in flame
And saw your end draw near
In my waking a call to death draws silent
For I have brought you here
Me:
Could it be that you were
The flower dawning in my eyes
On the horizon where the train tracks don't meet?
Can it be that your name
Was upon my lips as I fell?
Are you Theiyonus, Ocean Soul, Shadow Wolf?
Theiyonus:
Your cry awoke me as I have woken you.
You have made no mistake.
I am your sukmanitutanka nagi,
Ocean Soul, Theiyonus.

Erm...yeah. Neither are finished.
