Rusted Society

[ryain]

This is a song I wrote for a story idea. It's a end of the world story and, well is kinda summed up in the song.

Rusted Society

Sunken in misery and lies
Drowning in hatred and disguise
Night comes in like a bat on the wing
the mists of the day are lingering
while the stars wink their last
and darkness descends so fast

Rusted Society
Decaying from the lies
That I can see behind your eyes
Beneath the hatred and the tears
Lies the sorrow and the fears
Falling so slowly
Into disrepair
Drinking the poisoned air

I wish the clouds were gone
And we could finally see the dawn
But the curtain hangs ever still
The warmth stolen by death’s cold chill
Your heart in my hands- so cold
Darkness in you eyes- so old

Rusted Society
Decaying from the lies
That I can see behind everyone’s eyes
Beneath the hatred and the tears
Lies the sorrow and the fears
Falling so slowly
Into disrepair
Drowning in the poisoned air

And even as you breathe your last
And I know your day’s are past
The shattered buildings reflected in you eyes
Rusted by the hatred and the lies
The lofty pinnacle of humankind
How did we get so blind?

Rusted Society
Decaying from the lies
That I can see behind everyone’s eyes
Beneath the hatred and the tears
Lies the sorrow and the fears
Falling so slowly
Into disrepair
Drowning in the poisoned air

The days of innocence are long gone
The laughter of children a forgotten song
Yet we say we have come so far
Till we look at where we are
Lost in ruin. Sunken in misery
All the joys of life are history

Rusted society
Crumbling away
Winter’s chill stole the light of day
And I have heard
That summers dawn
Will always give way to winters frozen song

Chorus

Where did we go?
Why are we hear?
How can all the world’s sorrows come to bear
On one man?
I cannot understand
Where is the proof that Love’s so grand?

Chorus

Chorus

[metalikhan]

Very sad -- but well done, ryain!

Did you write music to it, too?

[ryain]

No I've never learned how. Someday . . .

[rebbepete]

I like it, but it is a little too sad. Christians need to not only diagnose the disease, but also prescribe the cure!

[ryain]

Yes but an author can't give away all of his story at once can he? The cure would be later revealed after the disease is diagnosed and the victim wants to be healed.
