Incarnations of Immortality (Lyrics)

by admin posted at 2006-12-16 07:22 last modified 2008-03-14 08:01

These are the lyrics to a piece I wrote and composed the music for back, heck somewhere between 1990-1991.

This was inspired by my reading Piers Anthony's Incarnations of Immortality series.

I have an old recording from "way back when" of this song that I burned from casette to mp3.

You can listen to it (and others) here:

Incarnations of Immortality (c) 1990-2005 by Hawke

There's a mistress of fate

Three into on they make

And they will not wait

for any Man...

Death rides on a horse

Pale, and steady of course

Collecting his souls

of Everyman...

There's a slave of destiny

Who cannot be set free

And follows the threads

of the Tapestry...

From the mists of Chaos

She does form her threads

To weave the pattern

of You and Me...

(Chorus)

(Chorus part 1:)

(Chord progression: E, F, G, A)

So you thought you could

do what you wanted,

Live life to the fullest

everything you wanted,

But when Thanatos

does arrive,

When you are no longer alive...

(Chorus part 2)

(Chord progression: Dmin, Cmin, Dmin, C#min, Cmin, G, Ab, A)

You will see how gaunt your soul is,

And you will never find solace.

You'll fall down

to Lucifer's old realm.

Where Satan rules,

You'll pay your dues.

(Chorus part 3)

(Chord Progression: D,A, C, G)

But the cycle

will continue

You'll be

Stuck.

You can run

if you want to

You're out of luck.

The flames will

keep on burning you

you'll be stuck.

(finale)

There's a mistress of fate

And no one can make

her

late.
