    Forever you.

    it was dark with just a small shadow of light
    the reflection from the window meant you were beside me
    it was silent, cold and tragic but i clung on
    i felt your fingertips slowly burning down my spine
    but as usual you were gone

    chorus
    don't wake up so peaceful and still you look
    and for the last time i closed the door and behind it was
    was the times i am leaving behind.


    and now I'm living with dora and she’s ok
    but she isn't you and the jumper she wears
    smells alien and strange and i just can't get used to
    not being with you

    the time in the park, the time cycling through forests
    my eyes by now just steeped in memories
    and just a glimpse is all i need to make me go weak from crumbling knees
    the world could shatter and grow old but my love for you just never grows cold.

    chorus
    don't wake up so peaceful and still you look
    and for the last time i closed the door and behind it was
    was the times i am leaving behind.


    they said it would pass, but here in darkness it just grows old.

    The murder of Sarah Coins

    it was only her eighteenth winter and three children under her
    not hers but now cast as mother and whore
    during the day, full of love, full of warmth but at night out to the icy decaying streets
    and one night November seventeenth she wouldn't be coming home

    Chorus
    Pigeon faced people smirked and in hush tones spoke and falsely proclaimed god bless Sarah Coins and never again will she have to open her legs, the wounds of life have been replaced with death.

    he was handsome and with a scar running down the left cheek of his face
    he summoned her to his car and in she got and off they drove
    he brought her to an abandoned house out in dark fields afar
    and when he produced the knife not a sound did Sarah Coin make
    she knew the imagery and she knew the ending

    Chorus
    Pigeon faced people smirked and in hush tones spoke and falsely proclaimed god bless Sarah Coins and never again will she have to open her legs, the wounds of life have been replaced with death.




    she is drenched in sun now and drenched in sand
    back into the warm arms of her dead mother she is now
    and all the cold people go back to work
    never understanding the sufferings of Sarah Coins
    deep in hers eyes and far in her soul
    Sarah Coins has blossomed in time, full of life and mystical charms
    she lays in flowers on a bed of gold

    Chorus
    Pigeon faced people smirked and in hush tones spoke and falsely proclaimed god bless Sarah Coins and never again will she have to open her legs, the wounds of life have been replaced with death.

    Bit of work on these and you could have something really good but to be honest for me they don't read like lyrics but they could with a bit of tidying up on the lines so they flow better, in parts they both have that haunting feel to them so i would say just keep the words that your lyric line needs and less of the word for word guide.

    Just my thoughts on both.

    Thanks for the feedback. I know the flow is wrong so will work at making them flow better.

    The murder of Sarah Coins

    Her eighteenth winter and three children to care for
    Cast as mother and whore
    Full of love, full of warmth but at night to the cold streets she took
    and November seventeenth she won’t be coming home

    Chorus
    Pigeon faced they smirked and quietly spoke
    Said god bless Sarah Coins
    Never again to open her legs
    Her wounds of life
    Now replaced with death

    Handsome and tall
    A long scar runs deep into him
    Summoned her to his car
    In she got and off they drove
    An abandoned field he took her
    Far from where she is from
    A knife produced and not a sound from Sarah coins
    Fate accepted from his gruesome touch
    The end she embraced

    Chorus
    Pigeon faced they smirked and quietly spoke
    Said god bless Sarah Coins
    Never again to open her legs
    Her wounds of life
    Now replaced with death

    Lying in sand and drenched in gold
    Her dead mother’s arms she falls backwards towards
    Back to work they heave
    Never to understand Sarah’s grief
    In her eyes and in her soul
    Sarah coins has blossomed in afterlife
    On a field of flowers in a bed of gold she now lays


    Chorus
    Pigeon faced they smirked and quietly spoke
    Said god bless Sarah Coins
    Never again to open her legs
    Her wounds of life
    Now replaced with death

    Forever young

    In a dark bed just a small shadow of light
    A reflection of you beside me
    Silent, cold and tragic I still clung
    Your fingertips slowly burning through my spine
    As usual you were gone

    Chorus
    So peaceful and still you look
    For the last time I close the door
    The times we shared I’m leaving behind

    And now I’m staying with Dora
    She isn’t you
    Her jumper smells strange and alien
    Her scent I can’t get lost into
    your scent still lingers on

    Chorus
    So peaceful and still you look
    For the last time I close the door
    The times we shared I’m leaving behind

    A walk in the park, a cycle in the forest
    My eyes seeping in our memories
    A glimpse is all it takes
    To make my knees crumbling and weak
    And the world may shatter and I grow old
    But the love we shared refuses to grow cold

    Chorus
    So peaceful and still you look
    For the last time I close the door
    The times we shared I’m leaving behind

    They said it would pass, but in darkness here alone it just grows old.

    Shadow boxer

    In the bottle he lived
    His bible recited daily
    His stale breath down her imaginary neck
    Crawling towards his own madness

    Painted his walls white
    At night to become his greatest opponent
    A reflection of spit and tears
    A mirror he cannot bear to reflect

    He reclines and they call his name
    His reflection in a bottle of pale
    Anything not to think
    His swollen lips red and blue
    A result of a life in slow decay

    Chorus
    Punching holes and skipping free
    Shadow boxer on his heels
    His movement fine and his head is free
    Shadow boxer for no one to see


    Morning is worse when the snakes set free
    Tormenting his every thought
    Knuckles bruised and cello taped
    A pain at least he sees

    A bathroom of white tiles
    Mixed with blood and sweat
    An unused bath soaks his sins
    A collapsed lung a self-inflicted rule

    Chorus
    Punching holes and skipping free
    Shadow boxer on his heels
    His movement fine and his head is free
    Shadow boxer for no one to see

    You know when i first read your work i got a strong sense of spoken word poetry, kind of like a stage presence characterizing the depths of what's going on within your words and at times powerful imagery coming from the way you write which is always a great weapon to have as a writer, but i do think you should (if you haven't done it already) record yourself (spoken word poetry) become the navigator of your own words and when recorded listen back, just to see what you hear, i also think you got a Tom Waits style in the way you write.

    I like Shadow Boxer reminds me of a wino from years back harmless soul but when drunk sometimes would be seen doing his shadow boxing routine, you got some good twist and turns in your words which reads like there could be an interesting flow there and at the moment i don't see anything needs to be change, so if its okay with you i like to give Shadow Boxer a try and see what i can come up with just acoustic and vocals, if not that's okay, keep writing.

    That would be awesome man work away would love to hear that!

    Thanks a lot and yes know what you mean a lot of it is more poetic than lyrics but if Mods don't mind i would like to add more stuff to this thread just to see where it goes I'm not taking it seriously just a hobby i like.

    Thanks for your feedback and help very much appreciated.

    Sorry didn't mean to indicate you move to poetry didn't even know there was a poetry section here, i have your lyrics in front of me and going to see what kind of melody and vocal way i can put to them i think i already found a way for the chorus so hopefully we're half way there, interesting journey ahead for me and these lyrics of yours, thanks and talk soon.

    Thats pretty cool thanks.

    Nah its all good i know its probably more suited to poetry but I'm not that interested in poetry love music though, Its an amazing thing to hear a song that can capture the worlds attention even briefly.

    Thanks again and for your help.

    The aftermath hotel


    She broke all the furniture
    Neatly stacked it in the centre
    Just like he did to her
    Heartbroken, deconstructed
    Just smoke now circles her eyes
    Leaving her bloodshot and blind

    John, he drove his convertible into a wall
    With a pliers pulled his teeth one by one
    Shaved his head with a blunt knife
    Felt alive and felt alright

    Poor Billy left alone since the age of five
    Hasn’t spoken since they labelled him dumb
    Planning a fiasco with a mind of cement
    One day he knows he will be on all the TV shows

    And the hotel of the aftermath orchestra play
    And the audience dance and demand some more
    The strings ache and the trumpets roar
    It’s always, always for more, more, more

    And she in 504
    She hasn’t even begun to get up of the floor
    Unwashed and naked in sight
    stained underwear the only reminder of the men who remained out of sight
    Now far too late to ask why
    The floor opened and now she has died, at least inside

    Poor old nettle feet
    Red and blistered from head to heel
    Shared his life for sixty years
    She left with just a note
    Out the widow and to the left
    The bridge that keeps tripping people over

    And the hotel of the aftermath orchestra play
    And the audience dance and demand some more
    The strings ache and the trumpets roar
    It’s always, always for more, more, more

    And me I’m just a fool on a desk
    The phone never rings and the bell never pressed
    I’m gonna get out of here one day
    But until then I’ll look for more

    Purple

    still i cling to a jacket that is gone
    those eyes, they once searched in empty rooms for you
    he touched my arm and it pierced my soul
    you found a bed you felt alive in
    found arms that felt like like your own

    the fumes from the train as it pulled away
    you coughed, you cried and you held on tight
    to the notion that one day you will unite

    now you’re on your balchony
    its 6am, the sun is climbing over the banks of the river
    it reminds you of a time in a bath both naked and exposed
    and ashamed of nothing

    he startles and touches your neck with his lips
    he is someone new, he is someone ok
    but your heart calls out for the boy on a train
    and as he pulled away you knew, you just knew

    stop tormenting my thoughts
    the hold you have on me
    is beautiful and you are forever
    giving birth to my heart


    they come and they go
    they never stay, they all see in me that look
    i have lost and the search is always for you
    i lie awake and listen to the roar of the trains
    closing my eyes silently, sadly, gladly as all i see is you

    stop tormenting my thoughts
    the hold you have on me
    is beautiful and you are forever
    giving birth to my heart

    and now we’re old
    and now we bathe
    exposed, unashamed and entwined.

    Hate


    Today i drew blood, hate needles
    unless its heroin in its spine
    ill bottle you in the face
    ill bottle you in your pretty face
    but its never me, its never me


    alone i face these demons put in place
    they crawl around my body
    you won't even see their trace
    i itch and i scratch
    and ill know its wrong
    but i know id knife you in the face
    just to get to my place

    here i sit in my place
    people pass and look on in disgrace
    i drew blood today and i never feel pain
    i never feel anything
    that is why ill knee you in the face


    lock me up and call me scum
    kick me in the head
    makes no difference to me
    my blanket smells of piss but my life smells of sh*t

    I've no anger and no feelings of regret
    i live up to expectations that your pretty faces expect
    i don't need no bible no big stupid tv
    my life is over consumed by a rusty needle

    my eyes are yellow, it won't be long now
    sleeping in my filth i can't even weep
    and people pass by three days after i died
    still in disgust and I'm something to hide.

    'Time Goes By' - a song I specially wrote about my baby sister who was born in March and how she filled the empty void in my heart which was caused by my nanny's death. It also says that my nanny sent her to us.

    Time goes by
    Every shot in the dark
    Every dream must die
    But I
    Kept holding on
    'Til the break of dawn

    I knew you would come, oh baby
    I prayed every night that maybe
    My dream would come true
    And yes it did
    My life is full of passion
    And the empty void in my heart
    Has been filled
    All because of you

    Time goes by............
    But as long as you are by my side
    Life will be worth-while
    Every morning you will see me with a smile
    It'll be all because of you
    Yeah it's true.........

    You light up my world
    I never knew a time
    So full of promise
    Good luck simply falling
    Off the trees
    Every day
    Gets a little better
    I hear you calling

    I knew you would come, oh baby
    I prayed every night that maybe
    My dream would come true
    And yes it did
    My life is full of passion
    And the empty void in my heart
    Has been filled
    All because of you

    Time goes by............
    But as long as you are by my side
    Life will be worth-while
    Every morning you will see me with a smile
    It'll be all because of you
    Yeah it's true.........

    When I was young I used to go
    To my room to listen to the radio
    In those long gone days of times gone by
    The songs that I heard made me laugh or cry
    Night after night I lay alone
    Caught the words through my headphones
    Songs of joy and songs of pain
    Songs to make me love again
    And now that I am older and settled down
    I play the old songs as I drive around
    The songs that we used to sing
    By the bus stop and in the rain
    The times that I spent with you
    Will always stay fresh and new
    You will always live in me nanny
    But time goes by and we need to move on
    Thank god they sent another
    So now my life will be recovered
    Thanks to you....
    Thanks to you....
    Thanks to you....

    Time goes by............
    But as long as you are by my side
    Life will be worth-while
    Every morning you will see me with a smile
    It'll be all because of you
    Yeah it's true.........
    And I wouldn't want it any other way

    Never Give Up is my debut single and is on YouTube. My singing is horrible in it, so I am re-recording it with my friend soon who is a much better singer. Here are the lyrics anyways:

    I'm pushing against the boundaries of everyday life
    Watch me I'll be playing on that stage tonight
    Inspiration can be, hard to find
    Never give up, never give up

    Life is full of mysteries out on the streets
    But girl one day you could be just like me
    Come rock the night and I'll give you, the key to
    Never give up, never give up

    All you have to do is never give up
    You say, go away, you think it's tough
    But all you have to do is never give up
    The haters gonna hate, but you can break.... down that wall
    If you never give up
    Never give up
    Never give up
    Never give up
    If you never give up

    Now it's finally happened, my head is in a spin
    Don't know which way to turn but I, won't give in
    I recall a time when I dreamt I'd be here
    Never give up, never give up

    You know one day you will, fly free
    Your spirit will soar high, above the trees
    When that day's here, I'll be with you
    Never give up, never give up

    All you have to do is never give up
    You say, go away, you think it's tough
    But all you have to do is never give up
    The haters gonna hate, but you can break.... down that wall
    If you never give up
    Never give up
    Never give up
    Never give up
    If you never give up

    [Instrumental]

    All you have to do is never give up
    You say, go away, you think it's tough
    But all you have to do is never give up
    The haters gonna hate, but you can break.... down that wall
    If you never give up
    Never give up
    Never give up
    Never give up
    If you never give up

    I’m alone in the trenches

    A rat runs over my severed foot,
    Mud dried over my eyes,
    The silence is a parade of darkness,
    Running through my eyes

    Chorus
    Tell my love she is lucky I have not returned to her
    Too many eyes, too many limbs too many souls rising from the ground
    To my son who I never saw, I love you anyway
    Remember me always as the boy before the man

    My love I remember starting out with nothing
    Every night cold until we lay together
    Your eyes a book I could never finish
    Now I lay here in fear and waiting until the heavens are clear

    Teach our son about flowers and things that grow
    Help him to understand that understanding is everything
    The pigs of wars bring us slaves to their graves
    Never a thought for all we have left behind

    Chorus
    Tell my love she is lucky I have not returned to her
    Too many eyes, too many limbs too many souls rising from the ground
    To my son who I never saw, I love you anyway
    Remember me always as the boy before the man

    The wetness of your lips I still taste
    Standing in shallow pools of rain
    You in white and me in black
    We cemented our own faith
    I carried you over the threshold
    You will carry me beyond the gates

    Chorus
    Tell my love she is lucky I have not returned to her
    Too many eyes, too many limbs too many souls rising from the ground
    To my son who I never saw, I love you anyway
    Remember me always as the boy before the man

    Like your first verse get you in there the rest reads fast like maybe rap, good lyrics obviously you have already put music to this would like to hear but if not then you should record really good lyrics, good luck to you.

    Only verse 3 {when I was young, I used to go.... etc} is rap until the thanks to you part which goes slower. Yes, I have put Music to it - though it hasn't been recorded because of my bad singing (I can't find a singer) and also I am setting up a recording studio. However, the Music alone without any vocals has been recorded so far! You can check out the Music here:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waf820eki3k

    Here's a recording of me singing it (very badly I might add) here using the app Sing! Karaoke:

    Thank you very much! :)

    This is a song I am currently still writing with my friend who will do the Guitar and my other friend who will sing the chorus whilst I rap the verses. Here is the composition of what I have so far - the site plays it for you

    https://musescore.com/user/1724211/scores/1210321

    Since this thread is "Lyrics": I guess I'll post the lyrics

    There was a time when I dreamt
    I'd see my guy but it went.. away
    Like abandoned love, abandoned love
    Oh how my heart wails across the world
    All this time I thought I'd be your girl
    But no our love was abandoned, abandoned love

    All I ever asked for was a life where
    Love would last forever, but no I guess I was wrong
    Death punched me in the face and it wasn't fair
    Just feels like home when you’re hugging my arm
    Trusting that I’ll keep you safe from all harm
    Look deep in my eyes now and you will see
    Your love’s all the love that I need
    Sadly, you had to go along
    There is a feeling of loss and despair
    And I feel like I’m not worthy to breathe this air
    We know the depression and superstition are different things
    Fall asleep every night thinking of living more days with you
    Then I wake up in a bitter mood saying it was all a dream
    But I know that you are better off up there
    So all I can say is hold on and take care

    There was a time when I dreamt
    I'd see my guy but it went.. away
    Like abandoned love, abandoned love
    Oh how my heart wails across the world
    All this time I thought I'd be your girl
    But no our love was abandoned, abandoned love

    Oh woah oh, oh woah oh
    Woah oh oh
    Oh woah oh, oh woah oh
    Woah oh oh
    Abandoned love

    The day you left me was the day I died
    Died on the inside, drowned in my own tears
    And suddenly I was alone
    No one to hold, no one at all
    And I, I realized, I pushed you away
    And I will try to, earn your love again
    I just want you to return
    Send you my prayers, my love
    You slipped outta my fingers
    I lost hold of my tight grip
    I lost you once before, you were the one I adored
    And I miss you every day
    Don’t care how long you take, please come back to me
    But I know that you are better off up there
    So all I can say is hold on and take care

    Sometimes the heart sees what's invisible to the eye
    Home is where the heart is and you make my home
    Time after time, I feel as though looking up to the sky
    And say, will you ever come back one day?
    Just please

    There was a time when I dreamt
    I'd see my guy but it went.. away
    Like abandoned love, abandoned love
    Oh how my heart wails across the world
    All this time I thought I'd be your girl
    But no our love was abandoned, abandoned love

    Oh woah oh, oh woah oh
    Woah oh oh
    Abandoned love
    Oh woah oh, oh woah oh
    Woah oh oh
    Abandoned love

    [Verse 1]
    When we were young
    We walked all night
    Through the streets of Madrid
    Those days are gone
    And you were right
    I can't take back what I did

    [Chorus]
    You held my hand
    I kiss your lips
    We walked and talked together
    But time is sand
    We let it slip
    Gently through our fingers
    We became lovers in the streets of Madrid

    Woah-oh oh oh oh I can't take back what I did
    Woah-oh oh oh oh in the streets of Madrid

    [Verse 2]
    Now you are gone
    And I am alone
    I walk the night apart
    I remember sun
    And how you'd known
    I would break your heart

    [Chorus]
    You held my hand
    I kiss your lips
    We walked and talked together
    But time is sand
    We let it slip
    Gently through our fingers
    We became lovers in the streets of Madrid

    [Verse 3]
    Never known so fine a day
    All the clouds have blown away
    I know why I feel so free
    It's because you're here with me
    Don't ever go I need you so
    In sunshine and in darkness
    I know our love will grow

    [Chorus]
    You held my hand
    I kiss your lips
    We walked and talked together
    (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

    But time is sand
    We let it slip
    Gently through our fingers
    We became lovers in the streets of Madrid

    Woah-oh oh oh oh I can't take back what I did
    Woah-oh oh oh oh in the streets of Madrid
    Woah-oh oh oh oh I can't take back what I did
    Woah-oh oh oh oh in the streets of Madrid

    [Outro]
    Please stay with me till night
    I need to know you love me
    Woah-oh oh oh oh I can't take back what I did
    Your face in the sun's dying light
    Is the sight I want to see
    Woah-oh oh oh oh in the streets of Madrid

    Only verse 3 {when I was young, I used to go.... etc} is rap until the thanks to you part which goes slower. Yes, I have put Music to it - though it hasn't been recorded because of my bad singing (I can't find a singer) and also I am setting up a recording studio. However, the Music alone without any vocals has been recorded so far! You can check out the Music here:


    Here's a recording of me singing it (very badly I might add) here using the app Sing! Karaoke:



    Thank you very much! :)

    Okay i listen to your music but i have to ask did you put that music together, if you did really good but if you didn't no worries still really good, okay when you find a singer you're seriously going to have to give that person the freedom to put his or her style to everything and i mean everything lyrics music atmosphere and can you explain to me why you cant find a singer, thanks.

    I did put the music together - composed it because I keep posting on social sites to find a singer and they take the piss out of me saying they're a singer when they're not and thus want to make my Music look stupid and annoying.

    One thing for sure you definitely have talent, post on other songwriters sites and get to know other members you will find there are many from Ireland, one site is reverbnation and when you sign up giving your local area you will see many from Ireland there.

    Dont bother with those social sites just stick with the sites where you'll find talent like yourself, keep writing and keep making beautiful music and the main thing is, enjoy.

    How's this piece by me?

    https://musescore.com/user/1724211/scores/845856

    You shy away, when I come close
    Too afraid, of affection
    Let me in, so I can see
    The damage done, I’ll set you free

    And I don’t know how someone could do this to you
    It hurts me just to see you cry on the ground
    I know that I can love you and help you through
    Just open, just open your heart
    Just feel it, feel it in your heart

    Cause from the start I have loved you
    Always loved you baby
    But you were taken and he broke you
    Always loved you baby
    Now I have a chance, to get you now
    Just take a chance, and let me show you how
    To love again
    To love again

    You're too afraid, that I might hurt you
    But I’m nothing, like him oh no
    Just gimme a chance, to take a look
    Give me a moment, let me in

    And when I look into your face I see beauty
    And I don’t understand how he could’ve broken you
    I know that I can love you and help you through
    Just open, just open your heart
    Just feel it, feel it in your heart

    Cause from the start I have loved you
    Always loved you baby
    But you were taken and he broke you
    Always loved you baby
    Now I have a chance, to get you now
    Just take a chance, and let me show you how
    To love again
    To love again

    I feel you opening up
    It just took a little luck
    I feel you coming closer
    Running away from his poster
    What he did to you was bad
    But I am here and you are glad
    Cause I can hold you
    Oh I can hold you

    Cause from the start I have loved you
    Always loved you baby
    But you were taken and he broke you
    Always loved you baby
    Now I have a chance, to get you now
    Just take a chance, and let me show you how
    To love again
    To love again
    To love again
    To love again

    Just open, just open your heart
    Just feel it, feel it in your heart
    To love again

    Leanbh - a love song wrote today by me in Irish

    Leanbh,
    Tá grá agam duit
    Bíonn tú an grá mo shaol
    An chuisle mo chroí
    Tá tú go hálainn
    Táim i ngrá leat leanbh
    An bpósfaidh tú mé?

    Tá tú anamchara
    Más é do thoil é
    A fhanacht go deo liom
    Tá póg agam duit
    Maireann lá go ruaig ach
    Maireann an grá go huaigh

    Leanbh,
    Capall an tsaoil an grá
    Níl leigheas ar an ngrá ach pósadh
    Mar sin, an bpósfaidh tú mé?
    An té nach bpósann níl ach uaigneas dilte dósan
    Mar sin, an bpósfaidh tú mé?
    Mas é do thoil é!

    Ní féasta go rósta, ní céasadh go pósta
    Tabhair póg dom, leanbh
    M'fhíorghrá
    Tá tú iontach álainn
    Mo stór, mo thaisce
    An bpósfaidh tú mé?

    Is leighis is fearr do ghrá pósadh
    Tá tú an-dhathúil dom
    Glaoigh ar na gardaí!
    Maireann grá go deo
    Agus tá tú mo ghrá

    Leanbh,
    Tá grá agam duit
    Bíonn tú an grá mo shaol
    An chuisle mo chroí
    Tá tú go hálainn
    Táim i ngrá leat leanbh
    An bpósfaidh tú mé?

    'Torch'

    [Verse 1]
    Girl with the light on those eyes
    You make me wanna burn up
    With all the lies you've been telling me
    I'm about to blow up
    But every night, it gets stranger
    Cause every fright, it gets bitter

    [Chorus]
    Let the torch in your eyes count the stars
    Let it show you that you're the Queen of Mars
    Let the torch in your eyes light the world
    Cause every day is full of darkness without you girl
    Yeah let the torch in your eyes
    Let the torch in your eyes count the stars

    [Beat Break]

    [Verse 2]
    Girl you make Mercury
    Wanna become hotter
    Every night I look at Jupiter
    I always think of my fireball
    But every night, it gets stranger
    Cause every fright, it gets bitter

    [Chorus]
    Let the torch in your eyes count the stars
    Let it show you that you're the Queen of Mars
    Let the torch in your eyes light the world
    Cause every day is full of darkness without you girl
    Yeah let the torch in your eyes
    Let the torch in your eyes count the stars

    [Beat Break]

    Let the torch in your eyes count the stars
    Neptune hold on, Venus here we come
    Let the torch in your eyes count the stars
    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    Let the torch in your eyes count the stars
    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    Let the torch in your eyes count the stars

    'Your Final Hour'

    Your ancestors look down on you
    Like guests at your wedding feast
    Wonder why you got wed
    Know you'll never get no peace
    And you walk about
    Like a queen without a throne
    All I want to do is shout
    Cos you're all alone

    Your final hour has come
    But it doesn't mean you're done
    You'll live long up there
    Up away from my hair
    But I'll always treasure you right here

    Spirits look down on you
    Like ghosts from your dreams
    Stars from your nightmares
    Witnesses to your screams
    So why did you do it
    Why did you go get wed
    I'm the one who loves you
    I feel like the living dead

    Your final hour has come
    But it doesn't mean you're done
    You'll live long up there
    Up away from my hair
    But I'll always treasure you right here

    And you walk about
    Like a queen without a throne
    All I want to do is shout
    Cos you're all alone
    Cos you're all alone
    Cos you're all alone

    Your final hour has come

    Your final hour has come
    But it doesn't mean you're done
    You'll live long up there
    Up away from my hair
    But I'll always treasure you right here
