Written at work back in May (still actually working on it) - was inspired by both Cygnus X-1, Book II: Hemispheres & Dragonlance in this one...

 

The battle of the ages

fought with magic fire and steel

on the field stand knights and mages

fearing that their fates were sealed

 

Overhead the sun is concealed

giant shadows sweep the land

the men look up at horror revealed

while they devise their final stand

 

The dragons flight comes to a halt

the mortals tremble with great fear

the wyrms prepare for their assault

the men believe their end is near

 

then in the east their eyes behold

a sight beautiful and so grand

dragons scaled in silver and gold

retribution is at hand!

 

with a clash of fang and claw

the great wyrms met in the sky

mortals held their breaths in awe

as the dragons battled up on high

The Grains of time.......

slip fast..... and forever

 

The Pendulum of time...

is in constant motion

Never a sound

So hold tight

And hope your pendulum

keeps swining......

 

Watch your clock..

Watch the hands tick..

Watch it tock....

Don't try to change your fate

One day your time will run out....

 

There is nothing you can do

To slow down your clock

Or anyone else's watch....

You can make it go faster

Oh, how the reaper would enjoy you doing that

 

You may watch your time waste away

In many different ways..

A Pendulum..

Watch it move back and forth

When will it stop?

Do you know?

 

Grains...

When will they stop moving?

How will they stop flowing?

Do you choose that?

Or someone else chooses it for you?

 

A clock..

Watch the seconds

The minutes

The hours

The days

The months

The years

Tick away

Tock away

When will it break?

Or Will it just stop?

 

You cannot control it

The spirit's control the time

They make the time.... Go

As you would say

 

You think you could have power?

Watch in which way you choose

Watch your time get stolen

Watch the world's time shorten

 

Watch the time homeboy...

You could get lost in it......

Too late

 

Have you ever looked into the sky

Looked into the sky all night?

Hoping you'd find an answer on what to do?

Hoping someone was looking back at you?

Looking at you, seeing your tears?

Looking at how much you miss those lost years?

 

Have you ever looked at an old photo

Looked at an old photo of someone who had to go?

Wishing it was someone you still had the chance to know?

Remembering the words that were left unsaid?

Remembering the times that were lost, that you now regret?

 

What do you do when it's too late?

Too late to show you care because of fate?

What do you do when it's too late?

Too late to show them their dreams you can help create?

 

Have you ever looked up above?

Looked up above, and prayed for them to love?

To love you, and only you?

Even though you know it's too late for that to be true?

 

Have you ever left words unsaid?

Left words unsaid that should have been said?

Kept quiet when you should have spoken up?

Kept your heart closed when it should have opened up?

 

What do you do when it's too late?

Too late to show you care because of fate?

What do you do when it's too late?

Too late to show them their dreams you can help create?

When you are gone

 

I'll be all alone, with no place to go

My life will seem meaningless

And myself, I won't even know

What will I do when you are gone?

 

My world will be dark and cold

Why you have to leave me, I will never know

You are my light that brightens my world

But when you are gone, a tragedy will be unfurled

 

What will I do, when you are gone?

Cry all night, until dawn?

What will I do, when you are no longer there?

To be there to love and be there to care?

 

Devestation will thrive inside me

Depression will eventually blind me

Who will be there to guide me

When you are gone?

 

At night I'll lay there and stare

Wondering if anyone's there?

In the morning I'll wake and wonder

If you can feel my love, even if you're burried with under?

 

I'll walk alone and confused

Wondering what did fate do?

It took you out of my life

Even though it's not right

So now I ask myself

What will I do when you're gone?

MY lyrics? Oh my....

 

Okay, this is copyrighted and all that, so don't even think of stealing it.

 

Chainsaw

Music and lyrics by Finbar conlon and Byron Wolfman

 

I cut down tree

People flee

My chainsaw's on the prowl

I'm in town

To cut trees down

You better listen for my chainsaw's growl

 

It's a power tool

It'll take you to school

In the realm of power toolin'

Weed-wacker man

Couldn't handle what I can

Who does he think he's foolin'?

 

Hee-haw! Chainsaw!

 

Chainsaws and more

Come from the hardware store

Sold to you by the hardware man

When I get my gear

The end is near

Power tool Armaged-an

 

So let this be a lesson

From the man with whom you're messin'

A chainsaw doesn't quit

A regular saw

Will obey the law

A chainsaw ruins your shit

 

Hee-haw! Chainsaw!

 

"If this chainsaw were cut, it would bleed testosterone."

 

"My chainsaw is man-made."

 

"Well my chainsaw is chainsaw-made."

 

"I use my chainsaw to shave."

 

"Well I use my chainsaw to brush my teeth!"

 

Hee-haw! Chainsaw!

Hee-haw! Chainsaw!

 

 

So I sing that with my band Mad Cow Funk. If you enjoyed the lyrics, please check us out, and if you enjoy the site and live in Toronto, please come to a show some time.

Yes! These lyrics kick ass.

Very Peart-esque. new_thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

Hey thanks! I'm glad you liked it.

 

I forgot to capitalize my last name, though. How disgraceful is that? sad.gif

Matter of Time

 

Seperated from this hole I've laid in

All my words they just don't mean a thing

While I slowly die, still they just keep taking

Never letting up I can bearly breath

 

Over and Over it just turns out the same

 

Give me just a little more time

But don't Walk Away

I feel I'm just about to lose my mind

I don't want you to leave here tonight

So don't walk away

I'll be okay it's only a matter of time

 

Is it too late for me to say I'm sorry

Maybe my words they just don't mean a thing

Stuck between all this hate and worry

Never letting up, I can bearly breath

 

Over and Over it just turns out the same

 

Give me just a little more time

But don't Walk Away

I feel I'm just about to lose my mind

I don't want you to leave here tonight

So don't walk away

I'll be okay it's only a matter of time

 

You can listen to this if you would like here. I'm singing and playing the bass on that song.

DEVIL ON THE FARM

 

I put the devil on the farm

 

I put the devil on the farm

 

Put a devil on the farm

 

I put the devil on the farm

 

I put the devil on the farm

 

Put a devil on the farm

 

DEVILS ON THE FARM!

Sounds like a variation on "T-Bone" by Neil Young.

 

I Quote:

 

I got mashed potatoes,

 

Ain't got no T-Bone.

 

 

 

Repeat...ad infinitum.
