Lemme share my songz from last challenge 4 yall's entertainment I guess
(for my egotistical needs)
Day of the Dead
Verse
I leave behind the marigolds
The small trinkets on my tombstone
and the elegant sugar skulls
On my decorated alter
My old imaginary friends
And my dearly missed relatives
Greet me in front of golden gates
Gesturing for me to come in
Leaving behind the physical
I watch the spirits awaken
Every thought becomes possible
In the dimension of the dead
Chorus
In this permanent sunrise
A new world has come alive
Moths morph into butterflies
That guide me into the light
Verse
Remember, my grandfather speaks
The day you thought you had lost me?
Your young heart was saddened with grief
I promised I would never leave
I always felt his protection
In all of my silent blessings
Now we're in the land of resting
Troubles become floating feathers
Bridge
May my parents find comfort
In knowing when they buried their son
He found eternal summer
And was welcomed by all his loved ones
In letting go of earthly tethers
You become one with the wind
Discovering the hidden treasures
Of a life free from restraint
Chorus
In this permanent sunrise
A new world has come alive
Moths morph into butterflies
That guide me into the light
May they do me one last favor
Lay a sunflower on my grave
Forsaken Skies
The life once harbored in summer lawns
No longer murmurs its peaceful song
You miss the grasshoppers once they're gone
Our past was turned into mosaics
As they shattered what we created
Echoes of children's laughter faded
Freedom we once sang in unison
Has become a whispered bedroom hymn
Recited by the desperate ones
The memories of Eden
Have slowly been replaced
The angels were abandoned
Even God was sent away
We are walking silohouettes
Behind an eternal night
Who will remain nameless
Under grey, forsaken skies
Perversely swept out of our hands
We have become their paper made men
Shaped to the comfort of their demands
The white dove fell victim to famine
While the fires they fed reaped damage
God wears armor to stay protected
Our souls have become heavy burdens
They poisoned us with deslilusion
Our melancholy is permanent
The memories of Eden
Have slowly been replaced
The angels were abandoned
Even God was sent away
We are walking silohouettes
Behind an eternal night
Who will remain nameless
Under grey, forsaken skies
