My first really good song. I came up with it in the car on a trip to Chicago.
1980's Heavy Metal.
Stranded Legion is a heavy metal band based in upstate South Carolina.
Story behind the song
This song goes along with my general themes that I laid out on the home page. I acutually came up with it three weeks ago, when I went to Chicago with a few of my friends. I started out with the name, then the chorus, and it kind of fell into place from there.
Lyrics
Verse 1
All alone you stand and watch the world
You can't believe how things unfurled
This future doesn't bear your name
Yet all the sinning is your shame.
Everything you taught us
We have learned
Everything that's decent left to burn
We did it all within your name
And we're left to live within your shame
Pre Chorus
Time moves so slowly, it's been so long
You can't believe
That everything you knew is gone
Revenge is calling, fate coming strong
You can't believe
That everything you did was wrong
Chorus
You stole our heroes
You stole our gods
You stole your future
Just to keep yourselves in charge
You lived your lives
Just like you felt no fear or harm
You lived your lives
And now it's we that bear the scars
We won't fly
Verse 2
Out of the shadows you appear
You spread your word
And you spread fear
You robbed the future of its will
All for a past you want to kill
Into the darkness we descend
We've only followed where you've been
You led us in the devil's lair
And then you left us rotting there
Pre Chorus
Time moves so slowly, it's been so long
You can't believe
That everything you knew is gone
Revenge is calling, fate coming strong
You can't believe
That everything you did was wrong
Chorus
You stole our heroes
You stole our gods
You stole your future
Just to keep yourselves in charge
You lived your lives
Just like you felt no fear or harm
You lived your lives
And now it's we that bear the scars
We won't fly
Verse 3
All alone you stand and watch the world
You can't believe how things unfurled
There's nothing left for you to save
And now our future is the grave
Pre Chorus
Time moves so slowly, it's been so long
You can't believe
That everything you knew is gone
Revenge is calling, fate coming strong
You can't believe
That everything you did was wrong
Chorus
You stole our heroes
You stole our gods
You stole your future
Just to keep yourselves in charge
You lived your lives
Just like you felt no fear or harm
You lived your lives
And now it's we that bear the scars
We won't fly
