Alright, I’m gonna take this song down. I decided I don’t like it. I didn’t work on it long enough. I’m gonna work on it some more and rewrite it. But I’ll leave the lyrics up…. just because.
Never mind. Changed my mind. I’m putting it back up. I like it.
Lyrics:
I am
perplexed
struck down
put through distress
But I
Plow on
Through pain
Never in vain
Cause I’ve
Resolved
To flaunt
My dirty rags
In the face
Of the World
I plant
My flag unfurled
For the
Kingdom
Forever
I stand my ground
When I barely can stand up
That’s when I’m happy most
When I’m drowning in this world
Unto the Lord I’ll toast
Head held high and spirit glowing
I will hack my way through this
Sharp my eye and deft my hand
My black arrows will never miss
There’s joy
In strife
For cause
Noble and good
I praise
When hurt
When foes
Throw me in dirt
I sing
My song
Through death
Through the night long
I fight
With will
And soul
Giving no inch
Some say
That I’m
Insane
It is possible
For I wish my Lord and Master
To one day say this to me:
"Well done good and faithful servant,
You have nobly served your king."
I do think the ‘ooooo’s turned out kinda cool though.
I liked that. Good lyrics, OK singing and good playing. Keep working on it.
I had a few issues though.
The high notes (on the piano) near “Head held high and spirit glowing” were a little jarring. and you skipped a few words in the lyrics: “served *YOUR* king” and “barely *CAN* stand”
Thanks C.W. Holeman III
Yes, the singing definately was not very good. It got a little better in the new album, but it’s still nowhere near good. Thanks for picking up the missing lyrics too. Fixed that up.
