Dying land

by Deus

Published November 4, 2006

There is a land that love forgot,
A land where nothing seems to grow
I look, into your emerald eyes,
and I see, I see that
thats the land you know.
I see that thats the land you know

Let me in, into your heart,
Let me show you the glory,
Life is too short to grieve,
let yourself believe
Let yourself believe
Just try again.

I know i hurt you once before,
I'd rather die than hurt you more,
But I, I understand
you can't let go,
from your hate
from your pain
from the eyes
which haunt your dreams
from the fear
from the lies
from the silent
panicked screams

let me in.
let me in

There is a land that love forgot,
A land where nothing seems to grow
I look, into your emerald eyes,
and I see, I see that
thats the land you know.
I see that thats the land you know

Cast off your broken wings
Come where the lovebird sings
to his lover on the tree,
come to this land and
sing with me.

I know i hurt you once before,
I'd rather die than hurt you more,
But I, I understand
you can't let go,
from your hate
from your pain
from the eyes
which haunt your dreams
from the fear
from the lies
from the silent
panicked screams

No, not really. I repeat, no musical talent, no musical training, reading back over it, it needs to be ridiculously altered. thanks though, i am touched.

I liked this. You found a tune to go with it?

It's the sort of song that I'd listen to, if it had a good tune. :D You missed out a few capitals and apostrophes here and there.

Very nice. :)

I really like the imagery.
However, the whole thing still sounds like it was co-written by your younger brother.
