Song of the Day, 14 September 2011

[Bob Schroeck]

The realm's bleeding
It suffers --
Old and weak

No further arguing
There is war at hand
The system's failing
Engines running

Then after all
I sense the end is dawning
These lunatics deny the truth

I know I will not fail
There'll be

War, it's now or never
We shall stand together
One by one
This world is sacred
I'm coming home
War, it's now or never
We shall stand together
One by one
This world is sacred
I'm coming home

Coming home

You chase in twilight
And you know
You will be on your own
On your own

The misery shown
I'll be alone in this hour
I'll face the unknown
Witness the end

I'm bleeding, I'm fading
Here in my final hour
When long lost memories return
And a voice keeps calling
"All dead and gone
It's out of hand
Life is in motion"
I'm wishing, I'm fading
"Time to wake up
Face the truth"

I'm sinking
I'm drowning
There's no doubt and no regret
"Time to reveal now"
This is no illusion
It is real
Carry on the flame
It's not over now
Watch me, I will rise
Time to reveal now

I know I will not fail
Anymore

I'm the one forever
All that really matters
Blessed realm
This world is sacred
I'm coming home
War, it's now or never
We shall stand together
One by one this world is sacred
I'm coming home

Yesterday's gone
There's no today, no tomorrow
I'm raised from the dead
The ritual failed

There at the gates
I'm left alone in this hour
Driven insane
I am left alone

And now I drown in deepest shadows
While the golden hall is sealed
I'm wishing
I'm fading
And I am part of the machine
My eyes are the eyes of a dead man
And I feel the unholy stream

The source of my power
T-energy
I'm in control

I will live forever
All that really matters
I'm the one
This world is sacred
I'm coming home
War, it's now or never
We shall stand together
One by one
This world is sacred
I'm coming home

I spread my wings
But keep on falling
I should have known
I can see it coming
The war is over
There's whispering in the wind
Just let me out of here
There is no way
There's no end
While all the suffering goes on
All that I know
Is that I'm not insane
It's not over

Errrrr.....

Let's put this on on the list that Doug never plays.

At the very least it should burn out his mage talents for a few months, with no apparent gain.

Think of it more as theme music than a power song.

ehehe.... yeah, thats what I thought when it was mentioned as a SOTD, that it was more thematic of the writings of the day. (and also that it meant some writing got done today, which is why I keep hoping to see SOTD's in the DW 5 section
Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to split the sky?
That's every ship in Grayson's Navy taking up the cry-
NO QUARTER!!!

It doesn't always mean writing got done, although it does mean planning and thought were happening. Best way to tell if writing got done is to see if the KB count (posted as a subhead on the top level) changes, like it did yesterday.
