Nagemi's song lyrics

[Nagemi]

I know I haven't posted much anywhere, but eh, just catching up on lost time. So I just thought I'd post up a few of the songs I've written in the past year or two.

One Way Zephyr

Taken by inspiration,
I chase a muse across Eden
And through seven seas.
Intrigued by eyes so much like my own,
Yet have seen many more years than I,
I see the muse, but he still ignores me.

Dancing like a merry fool,
I bid the muse to crack a smile,
And let me play and dance and sing
Across the strings of his lyre
In a duet like none other, but pas de deux's never been his style
No, pas de deux's never been his style.

And after him I'll fly
On a one-way zephyr into the sky
A trivial pursuit I'll take the rest of my life
And I'll be sailin' high
On a one-way zephyr into the sky
And let his star be my guide.

Through Avalon I travel,
Across the grass and through the gravel
And among the dancing fae.
Excalibur's only a paring knife
To the wonders in his smile
And the mysteries that I wish to know there.

Wandering through Wonderland
The wonders don't wonder me at all.
The army's only a deck of cards
And ever yet so small.
Now you may ask me, is it worth this endless tour?
But a muse, yes a muse is worth dying for.

And after him I'll fly
On a one-way zephyr into the sky
A trivial pursuit I'll take the rest of my life
And I'll be sailin' high
On a one-way zephyr into the sky
And let his star be my guide.

Watching, waiting,
Travelling
Through flame,
Wind,
Ice,
And mountains.
No turning back now,
No turning back!

For the rest of my life

Dance in the Shadows

Through this labyrinth I’ve wandered
Many an hour, and many a day
From the cloaked dark which chases us
And threatens to take my life away.
But my eyes remain watching
And my footfalls rain light
As I will be guided now
By the glow of the moon and the stars of the night!

Chorus:
And we dance in the shadows,
My love and I,
As fairy dust paints the midnight sky
The path is a shimmer
From the moon above
As I search for my only love.

You sang to me, you saved me
By letting me go, you risked your soul
And you told me I’ll find you
Where the wheel of time counter-rolls
Countless hands grasp for me
As I pass through this cell
And descend down the staircase
To where logic sleeps and the demons dwell.

Chorus

The corridors entrap me
And falsity tempts my wandering view
Tell me where this key?
To whatever it is they desire from you?
Every passageway I turn down
The cloaked devil hunts me more
I’m tired of dancing alone in the shadows!
I want dance with you forevermore!

Bridge:
So we’ll dance in the shadows—
Dance in the shadows—
Dance in the shadows—
No more!

Chorus

Shieldmate

I used to dream that I was a damsel
Waiting in a tower for a knight to rescue me
But that wistful dream never did tell me
How thorned that cage would be.
But you see that I am no caged canary.
My heart is my own for whomever I please,
Though they say that it's wrong to feel what I feel for you
My heartbeat won't cease!

And I can't run away from the dragons before me
But they can't take away the light in my eyes
Though the fires may burn and the devil torments me
I'll stay by your side.
Oh, I'll stay by your side.

My friend you can see that it never was easy
To hold your head high with the hounds at your heels
Or to crawl flat-bellied on the edge of suspicion
Wondering which of your friends were real.
But I'll tell you now that I scorn Delilah,
Rumor and conjecture don't hold my company.
I'm ready and willing to stand here for you
If you'll stand with me.

And I can't run away from the dragons before me
But they can't take away the light in my eyes
Though the fires may burn and the devil torments me
I'll stay by your side.
Oh, I'll stay by your side.

And I can't wait,
No I can't wait,
For some faceless knight to save me.
And I can't wait,
Oh I'll tempt fate,
I'll choose my own destiny

I used to dream that I was a damsel
Waiting in a tower for a knight to rescue me
But I've realized now I can do my own saving
And that knight now needs me.
So here now I stand before the legions,
Sword in my hand at the height of my health,
There's only so much that I can do for you,
You need to save yourself.

And I can't run away from the dragons before me
But they can't take away the light in my eyes
Though the fires may burn and the devil torments me
I'll stay by your side.
Oh, I'll stay by your side.

And you can't wait,
No you can't wait
For the flogging to finally cease
Cause it won't cease
Til you let me
Help you bear it with ease

And I can't run away from the dragons before me
But they can't take away the light in my eyes
Though the fires may burn and the devil torments me
I'll stay by your side.
Yes I'll stay by your side
If you'll stay by my side.


That's all for now, I might post a few more later

Cheers!
