Title: The Hand of Fate
Post by: Jackdaw on May 19, 2017, 01:23:22 PM
God handed me a PAINTBRUSH
Telling me to COLOUR earth
So I nailed a cross to Jesus
Then asked Him what it's worth?

I have rode with all the Rulers
And SKETCHED their Kingdoms fall
Jestered Kings and Queens
Made STATUES of 'em all!!!

My BRUSHROKES tell Your story
All its Times n all its Dates
But I PAINT things my own way
I am the Hand of Fate

As I DREW for Nostradamus
King Henry died by eye
So we DOODLED in a book
POTRAYING Doom is on the nigh.

Knights Templars' then Crusade
And DRAW the Masons in
So I PAINTED them a Mystery
QUILLING secret codes and sin.

My BRUSHSTROKES tell Your story
All its Times n all its Dates
But I PAINT things my own way
I am the Hand of Fate

As I wined and dined Rasputin
He was killed by a guest's gun
DEPICTED as the Mad Monk
His 'Habits' became his undone

I have sailed with Chris Columbus
And discovered the New Lands
I PENNED all maps and charts
You now have in your hands.

Your memories n histories
Will one day fade away
Your colours of life
In BLACK and WHITE
Will turn a shade of GREY.

THE COLOURS OF LIFE

God handed me a PAINTBRUSH
Telling me to COLOUR earth
So I nailed a cross to Jesus
Then asked Him what it's worth?

I have rode with all the Rulers
And SKETCHED their Kingdoms fall
Jestered Kings and Queens
Made STATUES of 'em all!!!

The Colours of Life are Black and White
Their offspring shades of Grey
I am the 'Hand of Fate'
So I paint things my own way.

My BRUSHROKES tell Your story
I PENCIL in your Dates
Your hopes and dreams are FRAMED
ETCHED by the Hand of Fate

As I DREW for Nostradamus
Dear Henry lost an eye
So we DOODLED in a book
POTRAYING Doom is surely nigh.

Knights Templars' then Crusade
And DRAW the Masons in
So I PAINTED them a Mystery
QUILLING secret codes and sin.

The Colours of Life are Black and White
Their offspring shades of Grey
I am the 'Hand of Fate'
So I paint things my own way.

My BRUSHSTROKES tell Your story

Jackdaw1888 :-)

So far really good write Jack, welcome to the forum of lyric writers.

Hi Jackdaw,

So very different but so interesting to read. Poetic and historical. I would have preferred to have noticed all the artistic references without them being obvious in Capitals but that is just my way of thinking. More artistic to leave it to the reader, perhaps?
I wonder what style you have in mind for the music?
Very enjoyable and thought-provoking. Like it so thankyou ...

Greetings Marrianna.
I am kind of useless with melodies/music.
My love is that of words.
But if I were attempt to put this into Song I would want it to be bob dylanesque by a kinda mary hopkin with guitar and backing fiddle.

I'm getting back into a flow at the moment so if you're okay with the little changes i made to your lyrics i might be able to JUST put melody and vocal to YOUR lyrics, if not okay, thanks for the read Jack  8)

THE HAND OF FATE

God handed me a PAINTBRUSH
Telling me to COLOUR his earth
So I nailed a cross to Jesus
Then asked Him what it's worth?

I have sat with all the Rulers
And SKETCHED as their Kingdoms Fall
Jestered Kings and Queens
I even made STATUES of 'em all!!!

I PENCIL in Your Dates
Your hopes and dreams are my FRIENDS
ETCHED by the Hand of Fate

The Colours of Life was then Black and White
Their offspring were shades of Grey
For I am the 'Hand of Fate'
I still paint things in my own way.

I DRANK with Nostradamus
King Henry lost his eye
We WORTE a book together
POTRAYING Doom when we where HIGH.

Knights Templars' then Crusade
I even DREW the Masons in
I PAINTED them a Mystery
QUILLING secret codes from their SINS.

Many many thanks for your input.
Your comments are very much appreciated.

However, at the mo I am looking at this piece as a kind of unfinished piece of Art if that makes any sense? - my true passion being Art/Painting and Sketching etc etc.

I am at prez composing a couple of verses to add to it as I think it needs more.
Maybe a Columbus?
Maybe a Rasputin?

Not to sure yet what to do!!!

Take care
Have a nice day

Jackdaw1888 :-)

Ps...
If I were to change the colours verse it would be...

Colours of life are black n white
Their offspring shades of grey
But I am hand of fate
So i'll paint things my own way...

A bit fast and racey tones/beat
If you get my drift?

PPs...
I love your thoughts upon Nostadamus!

But here's my initial thoughts...

As I drank with Nostradmus
King Henry lost an eye
So we WROTE a book together
Saying Doom was on the nigh.

'The Hand of Fate'

This needs more work me thinks :-)

I agree. 
This can be a great lyric, and it's still just a good lyric.  Here is specifically how I think it "needs more work" in my humble opinion. 

It has a wonderful array of magnificent word pictures which don't quite come together and create a "flow of ideas from beginning to middle to end."   I think that you need to do some work figuring out exactly what story you want to tell, and/or what emotion you want to evoke. 

THEN. . . I think you need to do some "addition by subtraction."  Delete everything that doesn't directly pertain to the story you want to tell, and/or the emotion you want to evoke.  Write a "topic sentence" that says exactly what you want to tell us. . . then get rid of (or change) everything that doesn't directly support that topic sentence.  The topic sentence can be about mood or about story. 

Your lyric currently has "too much good stuff" in my opinion.  That doesn't mean you discard some of it.  It just means write TWO songs, not just one. 

This can be incredible.  But it needs to become "tightly cohesive" to do so. 

Good luck.  And I'm really looking forward to seeing this finished.

Many thanks for your comments and advice.

Fantabulous idea re 2 songs!!!

So I am going to delete one of the Verses as I appear to have 2??? and then use such lyrics in The Colours of Life song which I am about to write.

Kind Regards

As I said the song will only have one Verse/Chorus line now.
It will be something like this...

My Brushstrokes tell your story...

Your future and your dates
Or
Your future and your fate
Or
Your Lovers and your Hates :-)

   HI Jackdaw, what were you doing on my roof this morning? This is an excellent write, some clever wordplay, and needs few if any alterations to the original post. Methinks you can tinker too much, and before you know it, something found is lost. One line was a little awkward, i won't say which, i'm sure you know yourself, but it's hard to find fault. Sorry for your recent loss, and i'm sure i'm not alone, no strangers here, only friends.

God handed me a PAINTBRUSH
Telling me to COLOUR earth
So I nailed a cross to Jesus
Then asked Him what it's worth?

I have rode with all the Rulers
And SKETCHED their Kingdoms fall
Jestered Kings and Queens
Made STATUES of 'em all!!!

My BRUSHROKES tell Your story
All its Times n all its Dates
But I PAINT things my own way
I am the Hand of Fate

As I DREW for Nostradamus
King Henry died by eye
So we DOODLED in a book
POTRAYING Doom is on the nigh.

Knights Templars' then Crusade
And DRAW the Masons in
So I PAINTED them a Mystery
QUILLING secret codes and sin.

My BRUSHSTROKES tell Your story
All its Times n all its Dates
But I PAINT things my own way
I am the Hand of Fate

As I wined and dined Rasputin
He was killed by a guest's gun

His 'Habits' became his undone

I have sailed with Chris Columbus
And discovered the New Lands
I PENNED all maps and charts
You now have in your hands.

Your memories n histories
Will one day fade away
Your colours of life
In BLACK and WHITE
Will turn a shade of GREY.

I kind of like my last verse.
It  'Paints' what this song and Life itself is all about.

God handed me a PAINTBRUSH
Telling me to COLOUR earth
So I nailed a cross to Jesus
Then asked Him what it's worth?

I have rode with all the Rulers
And SKETCHED their Kingdoms fall
Jestered Kings and Queens
Made STATUES of 'em all!!!

My BRUSHROKES tell Your story
All its Times n all its Dates
But I PAINT things my own way
I am the Hand of Fate

As I DREW for Nostradamus
King Henry died by eye
So we DOODLED in a book
POTRAYING Doom is on the nigh.

Knights Templars' then Crusade
And DRAW the Masons in
So I PAINTED them a Mystery
QUILLING secret codes and sin.

My BRUSHSTROKES tell Your story
All its Times n all its Dates
But I PAINT things my own way
I am the Hand of Fate

As I wined and dined Rasputin
He was killed by a guest's gun
DEPICTED as the Mad Monk
His 'Habits' became his undone

I have sailed with Chris Columbus
And discovered the New Lands
I PENNED all maps and charts
You now have in your hands.

Your memories n histories
Will one day fade away
Your colours of life
In BLACK and WHITE
Will turn a shade of GREY.

Got two more verses on the go,
Before this song's complete,
I will add them soonest
And then be Obsolete!!!

I like this.
it's quite rough and makes me want to correct it.
There are some good ideas here, and in a way it is, of course, fine the way it is.

The hand of fate has just dealt me a cruel blow.
My sister lost her fight re cancer and her brain tumour.

May the gods smile down upon her.
May the angels give her wings.

Rest in peace Patricia Anne xxx
