In The Place Between The Notes, Poetry and Lyric Corner

[Crux]

I feel no need for an introduction, but rather that I should let my verse speak for itself.

Short Verse

Spoiler:

The Willow Tree:
A deathly gale storms through the air
To peirce the skin, the bones to bare
To kill the silence, in it's somber rest
To teach the dead, to walk again
It echos forth, our innocence lost
To remind us all of age and it's cost
In remeberance for the days we seized
In the hollow hidden by autumn leaves
As children beneith, the willow tree



The Road:
On a long, dark road
Step by step, I make my way
My heart burning dim
Lost with nothing left to say
But for now I go
So to walk until the end
On a long, dark road



Music:
I've lost my way, and these days are long
And though the nights are cold, my heart is strong
So I play a note, and get on my feet
And as I close my eyes, I find my beat
As I pick my way, though rhythms and chords
I find myself, better, warmer, stronger then before.

01 - The Crow:
It was midnight, with a poker game
Time seemed to move too slow
Tossing their cards, the boys called my name
And filled me full of bullet holes
By a quarter past, they had brought me down
To bury me in the lake
And as I sunk to hell I heard a voice
Damn did they make a mistake

With this crow as my guide
I will never die, as i'm marching for revenge
Wipe the blood from my eyes, 'cause I know this time
That I will always mend
So when you kill a man, you better weigh him down
Or he just may walk again
I'm back to drag you down, to drag you down, to drag you down to hell
I'm back to drag you down, to drag you down, to drag you down to hell

It's now an hour past, and one by one
They have joined the waves
I guess i'll dig a hole, for my return
We'll all go there someday
And for the final words on my headstone
He was never known to lose a game

With this crow as my guide
I will never die, as i'm marching for revenge
Wipe the blood from my eyes, 'cause I know this time
That I will always mend
So when you kill a man, you better weigh him down
Or he just may walk again
I'm back to drag you down, to drag you down, to drag you down
I'm back to drag you down, to drag you down, to drag you down
I'm back to drag you down, to drag you down, to drag you down
*fades out*
