Unmarked Grave - vocals and lyrics

This was a submission for a vocal contest.  Was put together quickly as the contest didn't give us much time.

 

 

A thousand screams

Hear them plead for some control

You can feel their hearts tremble

  

Their eyes are made of glass

Unable to relinquish the past

Her son has departed this life

Before he drew his first breath

 

This life is a storm that never dissapates

A truth unveiled to put you in your place

Such a lonely way to die

They only loved you for your lie

When all is revealed

Your pathetic life will be sealed

In an unmarked grave

In an abandoned field

 

I wait in the midst of their disaster

With wounds that fester

They blister inside of my skin

I am left with nothing relevent

 

Show me how it is

To never be completed

To die with nothing to live for

To stand unchained

 

Show me in your eyes

When you finally cross over

Only in death

May we find salvation

 

Show me in your eyes

When you finally cross over

Only in death

May we find salvation

 

This life is a storm that never dissapates

A truth unveiled to put you in your place

Such a lonely way to die

They only loved you for your lies

When all is revealed

Your pathetic life will be sealed

In an unmarked grave

In an abandoned field

This is the best poem I have

This is the best poem I have read from you. Great work! It flows well and has plenty of real, deep emotion. That is true poetry. I should be posting my first new poem in almost five months by this weekend by the way.

That is great news! I have

That is great news! I have been neglecting my writing because I've been so busy.  This is one of my oldest poems that I turned into a song for a competition. I appreciate the read and the comments, man.
