Dead Utopia

Verse

Withered grass meets darkened skies on the black horizon.
Autumn leaves fade into falling snow beyond the dead utopia.
Faded sun, forever darkened, watch as this paradise slowly dies.

Verse

Glowing lights dim to falling shadows amongst the darkness.
Bleeding memories by the rolling tides are forever washed away.
Fallen shadows, empty darkness among this dead utopia we lay

Chorus

Bring me to the blackened waters
Laid to rest to cleanse the stains away
Amidst the bright light, no reflections
The dying spirit slowly drifts away

What do y'all think?

I think that its ok. But for me personally its kinda hard to write riffs for. The chorus is great but the verses seem a little too long in my opinion. Other than that is pretty good.

The only part I had a problem with is that all of a sudden there's a bright light. Or is it that that's devoid of all others but the one who's drifting away?

I'd like it to be longer, too. I think you've got an excellent stage set to add more story to.

That's brilliant. The world needs more brilliance. Ask to steal ? I've had people ask to use my lyrics or poetry in school projects and once inawhile someone comes up with a melody for one of my songs and posts it. Don't steal though. (But I think you were kidding anyways. WRITE YOUR OWN !! YOU CAN DO IT !!)

I've gotta make another comment. I've been listening to Opeth quite a bit lately. (Wally was home so I wonder why.) I don't think I could ever get tired of Windowpane. I think, done in that style, this would be really good stuff, Maynard. (You guys are probably to young to remember "good stuff, Maynard" )

I still like it.
