Look all around
See the colors
Feel the cold
Doesn't everything seem black?
Rivers dried up
Flowers crumbled to ash
As I waste away no going back
Chorus
Earth has relinquished
Abandonment has taken over
Colors have faded
Should I surrender to
the change
or
just become the hated
Skeletons surround the burial ground
Is this not the city of the dead?
Rainbows and sunshine dancing
Are just metaphors in my mind
Chorus
Earth has relinquished
Abandonment has taken over
Colors have faded
Should I surrender to
the change
or
just become the hated
Skeletons surround?
(Is this not the city of the dead?)
Skeletons surround?
(Rainbows and sunshine dancing
are just metaphors in my mind )
Skeletons surround?
Is this not the city of the dead?

'Rainbows and sunshine dancing
Are just metaphors in my mind'
I love those lines! I actually love the whole thing.
Very haunting, something you think about for quite a while afterwards.

Hey I liked it even though it was a little dark!
I'm one of those people who sing a tune to it, and I found one that works lol
I do agree with you, it is a rather dark metaphor... but heck, I like it!
Chorus
Earth has relinquished
Abandonment has taken over
Colors have faded
Should I surrender to
the change
or
just become the hated
I especially love the chorus!!!!!
Dang, you really had a way with words with this one.
The choice of words you've chosen are perfect!
Metaphorically it makes so much sense.
Skeletons surround the burial ground
Is this not the city of the dead?
Rainbows and sunshine dancing
Are just metaphors in my mind
"Is this not the city of the dead?" that's a very chilling part! I can picture it all right now.
"Rainbows and sunshine dancing are just metaphors in my mind" is sooo good. Just "metaphors" of happy things, eh? LOL That is a brilliant part.
You did a great job!
Thank you for entering

Chilling! and kind of creepy....
just become the hated... cool line.
Congrats!
-
I did exactly what Todmeister did!
I tried to pick out a tune that I know by another artist, and sang to it. (Unfortunately, it didn't work)
I like the deep lyrics alot!
"Rivers dried up
Flowers crumbled to ash
As I waste away no going back"
I loved those lines. They gave you a clue on actually how bad this was.. that everything is dying, and some things were dead (skeletons)
Well, thank you for entering these amazing lyrics, and good luck in my contest!

Pretty cool - I started signing it with a really random tune, but to my surprise it worked with it!
A nice write; you've got some really great lines in there. Inspirational.

Kari -
nice
Funny, I just finished reading 'On a pale horse' a book based on death, and this piece would fit right in. I love the concept and images and could feel the flow. I think the skull-head would be proud to hum this tune. -

I am very pleased that you like them
Kari -

I think you did a beautiful job on this Kari, it paints a distinct image in the mind and is well written! Beautifully done lyrics
-
hehe thanks sweety I am glad u liked it huney.
-
Sometimes being the hated is not always a bad thing, it rather keeps me from feeling much pain, and I have no arguments with that. I loved this piece my wonderful wife, but to tell you the truth, I know it seems all black right now, as it does in my life at this point. But you are an amazing woman, and you will find whatever it is your soul searches for. Love and Hugs. Oh yeah, and big sloppy kisses too.

This is the only second song I've done before lol...I am still learning on songs so....
-
wow thats really deep i wish i could hear the tune and how it goes. Do u have any more songs?
-
Thanks everyone...next time I will try to make it more imagery Thanks again everyone for your comments!!
Kari -
well this is a very emotionaly felt song. it was very good.
-
Well done, yet I would like, as a reader, to have more imagery. It's deep and dark, though, that much I can see. Good job. Some of the lines were just so...wow...I'm speechless. Keep up the good work.
-

You should continue to write songs, you have a gift. Blessings! Tammy -
Your very welcome and thanks for your applause and comment. I am glad you enjoyed it!
Kari -
Thank you for your comment on my poem. Anyhow, i really liked this song, it is a wonderful song. i think that maybe you could have put more imagery in but then again it is sometimes best left to be quite simple. It had a nice flow and i especially liked the last stanza. Great write.
-
Thanks...well it is only my second song ever I'm still learning a LOT lol hmmm I am not sure on that...I think that is left for the reader to decide..
-
nice work..but i coudnt feel the imagery you wanted to present....so the music of the song must very profound..
(thats my veiw)
i liked this"(Rainbows and sunshine dancing
are just metaphors in my mind )" sounds kool..
so are u defining the city of death or trying to recognise city of death?????
well its a nice work..very unique and creative...but i feel ...there can be more better work from you..
well keep the ink flowing
adieu
