Fallen
by Sam Rix
Posted: Monday, November 17, 2003 Word Count: 100 Summary: From the book of The song’s of the Samurai This one is an odd one, another moody piece still needing work, which has a 'possible' brighter note in a second verse. But I think part two detracts from the atmosphere I’m trying to create. Thoughts please on the first part and I'll upload the second half later, just so as not to confuse the ‘two parts‘. Thanks Sam |
Fallen
If your body fails you now, you will pass with spring’s arousal
You will lie amongst the fallen
If your eyes retire now, you will miss the glory of summer
You will be lost amongst the fallen
If your breath ceases to inhale, you will miss the first scent of autumn
You will decompose amongst the fallen
If your heart seeks to quietly still, you will lie under a cloak of winter unbroken
You will be forgotten amongst the fallen
Warriors one and all are to a duty called
Predestined to take our place amongst the fallen
