Silent Music – The Sound of Drums

Back again with another dose of silent music. For those unfamiliar, please look here. Todays song is special to me, it being the first song I actually wrote in full in one sitting. The song was not really inspired by anything, I just had an idea for a title and the rest grew from that. So there is not much to talk about, just sit back and enjoy, or don’t, your choice.

Spoken
I’ll never pause again, never stand still,
Till either death hath closed these eyes of mine
Or fortune given me measure of revenge

 

Tonight we rise, rise from our silence
And into the world of deceit and fear
We’re taking back, back our lives
And the land we once revered
The time, the time is now or never
The revolution from the wild
The end, the end is coming
As the current is defiled 

Our brothers and sisters
Brought together by the beat
Tonight we stand together
Tonight we take back the street
Viva la resolution beckons
Viva la revolution comes
The fat ladies sings out tonight
Singing to the sound of drums

Bars trashed, glass smashed
The monsters roam at the end of light
Cars crashed, clubs thrashed
We’re going out with a bang tonight
power’s turning, police squirming
This city’s in for a major fright
Fire’s burning, world stops turning
We’re running the show tonight

Born in the fire, brought to the light

The uprising is born! Our time has come!
As we rise, rise too the sound of drums!

The broadcast has begun
Across the entire nation
So kneel down, say your prayers,
As we plunge into damnation
Your sword is double-edged
Your reign of terror’s at an end
So take a seat, the climax is coming
And watch in fear as our flag ascends

Bars trashed, glass smashed
The monsters roam at the end of light
Cars crashed, clubs thrashed
We’re going out with a bang tonight
power’s turning, police squirming
This city’s in for a major fright
Fire’s burning, world stops turning
We’re running the show tonight

Born in the fire, brought to the light

The uprising is born! Our time has come!
As we rise, rise too the sound of drums!

Born in the fire, brought to the light

The uprising is born! Our time has come!
As we rise, rise too the sound of drums!

Silent Music – Runaway

Thanks guys for the support and comments with Jaded, both online and IRL, it is a great help and gives me a warm feeling inside that can only be matched by chocolate fudge brownies (now that’s saying something). I’ve being working on a few songs and wanted to post another. Please, tell me what you think, I love discussion and criticism (nothing nasty) and if I get enough support I’ll make this a recurring series.

Note: Anyone new to this should have a look at Jaded, I explain the premise of Silent Music there.

Anyway, I started this song after reading a story being created on the site fanfiction.net called Glamorous Indie Rock and Roll (I feel I just lost a lot of respect from some people with that sentence). It’s a brilliant story that is really coming along. For anyone interested, I’ll link the story at the end of the post. And so, here is Runaway…

We need to make a break
Need to make an escape
There is a world out there
For us to take

Outside of this life
Of anger and strife
We need to let loose
On the edge of a knife

Hitting the road on a count of
One two, one two three four

Runaway, we need to runaway
From the mundane
Runaway, we need to runaway
From this pain
We can leave tonight
Under the milky way
Retire to the light
Becoming runaways

Shedding our past
We need to act fast
This town’s killing me
I cannot last

Out there is freedom
The dreams we seldom
See in this prison
Of sin and boredom

Runaway, we need to runaway
From the mundane
Runaway, we need to runaway
From this pain
We can leave tonight
Under the milky way
Retire to the light
Becoming runaways

(instrumental)

It’s a comedy
This tragedy
A life trapped in
Emotional poverty

Runaway, we need to runaway
From the mundane
Runaway, we need to runaway
From this pain
All we can do is fight
This world in disarray
No destination in sight
Becoming runaways

Runaway, we need to runaway
From the mundane
Runaway, we need to runaway
From this pain
We can leave tonight
Under the milky way
Retire to the light
Becoming runaways

We need too break away
Us runaways

Thanks again for the support, be back soon.

Jaded – Silent Music

Welcome to Silent Music, a new recurring collection of blog posts inside the confines of Nutmegs. In this series of blog posts, I shall post lyrics to songs I have written. None of the lyrics will have music with them. They are designed for you to imagine the music yourself, as well as act as an outlet for the hipster poet in me. Feel free to use these lyrics for what you want to do, internet wise, just as long as you don’t try and pass it off as your own, don’t try to make money off of it, keep it public for the world to enjoy, and that you send me a link to the creation so I too can bask in your brilliance. With that in mind, I would like to introduce you to my first silent song, Jaded. Jaded meet audience, audience meet Jaded. I’m sure you two will hit it off.

She’s a flower
A rose that’s grown
In the middle
Of a war zone
She’s nothing but
Class all over
She’s everything yet
I don’t know her

A rebel girl
You can’t restrain
A secret girl
I can’t obtain
This beauty so
High above me
My own upper
West side story

Stars burst with her every step
The wildest girl I never met
Like a sunrise in the west
Caught in her universe
Stars burst with her every step
The fiercest girl I never met
She’s not like all the rest
Lost in her universe

And I’m Jaded

oooh, oh….oh oh
I’m Jaded

Her angle glow
Her sea blue eyes
That stare has me so
Hypnotised
Like graffiti
That has been framed
She’s a rockstar
That can’t be tamed

She is a walking
contradiction
The only carni-
vorous vegan
A free songbird
Trapped in a cage
A leading lady
Behind the stage

Stars burst with her every step
The wildest girl I never met
Like a sunrise in the west
Caught in her universe
Stars burst with her every step
The fiercest girl I never met
She’s not like all the rest
Lost in her universe

And I’m Jaded

oooh, oh….oh oh
I’m Jaded
