Writing Symphonic Metal [E]

[Ailes de Velour]

Following the news that Tarja Turunen has been kicked out of Nightwish, I wrote a song. Yes.

[CENTER]Once More

Too far back their dying bonds fall
The glue is decaying, tearing apart
Thus the mantra, it seems, "One for all"
Was never truely taken to heart
Something so prolific
So quick to evanesce
A contradiction prophetic
With nothing to confess
What can you do now?
A queen of sirens with beauty mind-set
But the poet only aims to please
Faith conspires, they aren't finished yet
Rise again with fiery ease
Something so prolific...
The incubus of dreams, the future beholds
The nightmare came unprepossessing
In my ears, their magical past unfolds
The child will settle for it's blessing
The stars were their bright chandoliers
As their ghosts, on unearthly stages, sing
Now they glow in the sky as serene cavaliers
Have we witnessed the bell's last ring?
What can you do now?

On the paper on which I wrote this, I drew me mourning near a tombstone that read "Old Nightwish, 96-05. I'm But a Poet Who Failed His Best Play." And then on the back I drew a comic entitled "Tukami + Tayari = Lubblubb! At Least One-Sided, Anyway." Tukami and Tayara are the Japanese equivalents for Tuomas and Tarja (for my anime satire). In it, Tuomas was trying to mind his own business and Tarja kept popping out of places and screaming like a fangirl (she appeared with a flashlight after snuffing out his candle, she burst from the dishes cabinet when he wanted some coffee, and she erupted from the toilet as he entered the bathroom).

Oh gosh, I love making fun of people.

But anyway, back to Symphonic Metal! If you like it, and write it, feel free to post your creations here. It can be Nightwish related (not plagiarised) or not, it doesn't matter.
