Okay, so this might take a little describing. I got the idea for this song on the way home today. The idea is a story told via an entire album of songs, this being one near the end (but NOT the end song itself). It describes in vivid detail the story of a man fed lies who eventually sees the truth, and the truth is a grim state of existence.
Basically, a guy buys in to the rainbows and lolipops deal of Christianity or something along the lines of it, and never sees Sin for what it is, until this song.
and as I opened my eyes
they told me a different story
one of hatred, anguish, despair
it was a horror
one by one they all fell
motionless at my feet
their features painted crimson
in the sand beneath them
thousands upon thousands
they die in waves
slain and strewn by the wayside
an ocean of death has consumed me
struck down by the one
who promised them the world
and nothing more...
it's what they got
I look up for the first time
and see a sky spattered red
the time has come for
no remorse
Hope you enjoyed it. I plan on writing the rest of the story later on, when things come to me. I will tell you now that the song after this will be about redemption, and Christ's return to the dark world. Or at least, that will be A song after this one =).
