Random little blather

[skull_bearer]

Just re-reading some of my old Ivory and Ebony fics. Made a good start on 'Crepuscule' today, or rather that's technically yesterday since it's 2am.

It's pretty good, better than the first draft anyway. It's good to know my writing's up to standard after the rather long break I took.

I swear The Offspring's song "Lightning Rod" it the exact theme for Dalamar. I'll probably use it during or post-Legends.

You be the judge:

I am waiting
On a mountaintop
For the moment that the sky will strike
My apologies
Are forever lost
Soon to ashes in a flash of light

Miles from away from me
Hope is fading soon
Gone forever it's a waste of time
My intentions
Like a sweeter room
Only bring to me a fading light

Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
If they could just teach my dark heart to feel
All I've saved - why
Thrown away

I am waning
Like a single bloom
Lost forever in the storm of life
My intentions
Like a sweeter room
Only bring to me a fading light

Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
If they could just show these wounds how to heal
Here I am - oh why
My last stand - oh why
And I know For all the rising and falling there's nothing to show

Throw me down

It's been raining
And now I will pay
Woe is come to me

I am the lightning rod

I am waiting
On a mountaintop
Oh above me
He will strike me!

Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
If they could just teach my dark heart to feel
All I am - oh why
My last stand - oh why
And I know
For all the rising and falling there's nothing to show

That last paragraph... perfect.
