Dusky Forest

Hi,

Here is a song called Dusky Forest I wrote. I used the forest as a sign of sin and the loss of a soul and a mountain as a sign of repent.

The dark woods
Calls me forth
Thy heart possessed with sin
Hardened with unbridled rage
Diverged… from the right road
Into the dusky forest
Inane to assent
The mountain of repent

Charon awaits for thy shadows

The sins that bellow out
With a force of their own
Combining to form demons
Blinding the light that leads to God

Rouse thy slumber
Apprehend thy sins
Awake to the fetid smell
Of the river of stale blood
On the banks of Acheron
An array of assembled throng
Charon the Helmsman
Ferries the damned away

The sins that bellow out
With a force of their own
Combining to form demons
Blinding the light that leads to God

Nice! It's a bit in the vein of the stuff I like to write/read. I like the links with nature. You shouldn't have used that 'God' sentence though.

I'm not familiar with some of the references you used so I can't really say anything about those, but for just a general evalution of the song it seems to have a lot of nicely balanced imagery and the flow is nice, too.
Enjoyable to read.

Woah, this is the kind of shtuff I likes, I especially like the "light that leads to God" bit, because a lot of people don't use the imagery of light the way I like, and the way you put it is nice. Could you please do me a favour and don't explain methaphors before posting the lyrics, half the fun is working out the methaphors along the way and then seeing if you're right

Nicely written. I like the idea of sins forming into kind of demons making everything your thoughts cloudy. By the way who is Charon? What style are you doing that song in? Black, gothic, or melodic?
