This is a song I wrote set to the melody of "Into the West" by Annie Lennox, a beautiful, beautiful song (which I don't own). It's pretty vague so it really could apply to anything, but I did make it as a sort of farewell-thing in honour of the last book of the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan (don't own that either), so it is based on his characters and storyline.
Come now
Sit down beside my hearth
Learn of legends
All the stories of your time
Hark now
Just hear the stories of the ones
All, but gone now
Unless the memory remains
Child you see
there was darkness in those days
darkness that kills
darkness that takes good friends away
All that was left
Was their hope for tomorrow
[Chorus]
Raise your glass
To all the heroes
The ones who gave their all
In all their hearts
Was something golden
something that drove them to go far
Should they have turned
strayed from their path
All would have fallen
to dark days
Come now
please listen, this one time
The prices they paid
cannot be forgot
They fought, gave all that they had to give
through love and hatred
they preserved and became friends
Staying true to their hearts
Just listen
[Chorus]
Should they have turned
strayed from their path
All would have fallen
to dark days
Days won't know
I hope you enjoyed it. Feel free to let me know (any and all feedback is welcome and appreciated). By the way, I love writing songs and poetry, so if anyone wants me to make a song/poem (or even a story) based on anything relating to the Percy Jackson series (or anything else, I've watched/read a lot of things) please let me know and I will make it (as long as it's reasonable). Just PM me or put your idea in a review. :)
