New Song Lyrics: The Fallen And The Forgotten

[KontanKarite]

Chorus:

We're the fallen
We're forgotten
No time is here
To vindicate our lives
Those old days of glory
And time for heroes
Are as gone as we are lies
No prose no poem of empathy
No shred of sympathy
And you don't even know our names

Verse:

At one time I was king of the war
With ranks of brave souls
Who knew what they were dying for
Now I'm here, squandering riches
Plundering soggy ditches
And no one knows my name
I was king of the war
Spirit of the sword
Back when poets
Knew what they were dying for

Chorus

Verse 2:

A call to joy, a call to new life
When faith was renewed,
Skies were blued, an end to the strife
Now I'm here, no more than a whore
To a lie that I live for
And no one knows my name
Oh joy, calls to new life
Soul of creation
Back when poets
Intimately knew of strife

chorus

We're the fallen
We're the fallen
We're forgotten

[pijanbalkan]

i think it'd damn good but did you think of some kind of tune for your song? or are you gonna put it to music at all???? it think it should have a really prominent rithm with big bass and drums or be totally melodious with violins etc. what do you think???????

[KontanKarite]

I've been fooling around with the melody of the chorus lately. I've made one song before, music, lyrics, and all and it wasn't too tough. This one, however, is kind of special to me. It's going to take more than my limited knowledge of music to make it come to life.

I've been thinking the same thing, a deep throaty fat bass, a violin, and actually marching type drumming like the old drummer boys of armies and such.

Add a dash of jangly guitar chords here and there and I'd have it.
