This song is still being written but I thought I'd keep Steve company and see what you all think. I'll post a recording when it's done
In the Etherthe world is losing its heart
I can feel its decay
the blackened smile of innocence is hiding away
now men deny what they are:
naked until the end
holding up their dignity without any shame
a fools as good as his word
that's never spoken aloud
the spiral staircase duplicity is carrying us down
so feed your heart to the lions
they're only there for the show
soon enough their innocence will have to let you go
and pray to the gods you've never known
in the ether you can hear them singing, low
save all your songs for the night
whisper them before the light
I quite like some of the images and themes, but it feels to disjointed at the moment, and doesn't quite track with the melody I have for it. Been working on it on and off for ages now, so would like to finish it soon...
