Morrigan’s Lament

This is the raw audio of a song whose lyrics I wrote.  The cadence and phrasing are mine as well but influenced by my Bassist Jennifer, whose current Project is The Heartless Bartons . Obviously, she is not playing on this track because I recorded it at 3:30 in the morning and she is not around. The music and arraignment are hers so we share credit on all Darkness on Fire music to this point.  Darkness on Fire being the band’s name.   Just keep in mind that this isn’t a miked performance, so it’s perhaps not as forceful but it sounds good to me.  Let me know what you think in the comments section.

 

 

 

Song for a relationship that never was

It’s a slip, it’s a fall
Its a wonder you know me at all
Its a knife to my gut
Its a whiff of too much blood

But I can’t fight this
No I can’t fight this

Its obsessed with your smile
It’s going that extra, extra mile
It’s my words in your dreams
It’s your eyes when I’m unseen

No, I can’t fight this
No, I won’t fight this

It’s this heart beating fast
And the thought that we could last

It’s your kiss of his lips
And my slowly clenching fist

But I can’t fight this
I’m trying to fight this
No I can’t fight this

It’s you walk-ing away
And me living another day

It’s your text when you’re sad
And my taking a last stand

I don’t want to fight this
But. I. Can’t live. Like this
No, I can’t fight this
… But.. I.. Won’t live like this
I just can’t live like this
I. Just can’t… Live.. Like.. This
