A very emotional acoustic rock song.
progressive alternative rock acoustic solo music
This is me - my life in the form of music. Although my favorite type of music is progressive rock, I also liking writing solo acoustic songs, and have made some attempts at creating a few techno/industrial instrumental songs.
Story behind the song
The recent murder of a friend, who was beaten to death by a gang of assholes because he was gay.
Lyrics
There were times when I once thought,
About how bright your future would be,
It put a smile on my face as I thought,
How lucky this world must be…
To have someone like you around,
Spreading love and joy with your kind heart,
But as I look to find you, you’re nowhere around,
There was an evil that tore you apart.
The void that your absence leaves behind,
Is like a sore that just won’t abate,
It’s a constant nagging in my mind,
To do what I can to stop the hate.
Now, there are those of us that will never forget,
And this is far from the end,
God I pray justice will fall on them yet,
For taking the life of a friend,
Their time is coming… God…
I’ll hold back the tears this time,
I won’t let it get me down,
Instead I’ll let your memory be my,
Motivation to carry your sound…
Whatever your differences may be,
It doesn’t give you the right,
Just because they don’t believe like you,
To take their life.
Now, there are those of us that will never forget,
And this is far from the end,
God I pray justice will fall on them yet,
For taking the life of a friend,
Their time is coming… God…
I’m tired of losing,
To stupidity,
I’m tired of losing,
To ignorance.
