As I told you before, I have a progressive rock/heavy metal band of my own. Our name is Ethereal We play mostly covers, but we also have some songs of our own.

Here's a song I wrote, based on our guitar player's past, that became our "icon song" of sorts (meaning, we always perform it) Hope you like it


LOVER LOVED
(Lyrics: Artiles)
(Music: Ethereal)

PROLOGUE

How can I ever thank you
for being so nice to me?
Saved me in my darkest hour
Forced my blind eyes to see

Without you
I'd have surely died
Unable
To peace my mind
In my eyes
You're the most beautiful girl
At your side
I can break out from Hell

Your kisses
My wings
Your kindness
My memory
Your hugs
My calmness
Your love sets me free

My little princess
My little princess
I love you deeply
Don't ever leave me

I. FEELINGS IN THE WEATHER

Sunny day
Clouds rolling by
I saw your face in the crowd
My heart began to cry

(Love and hate
How thin's the line that divides them?)

Rainy day
The sea's pouring from the sky
You clutched your arm to mine
You were freezing at my side

(Past and present
Is there a way to make them united?)

Cloudy day
Grey light surrounding us
You pressed your lips against mine
Fairies began their lovely dance

(Company and loneliness;
Aphrodita's level of beautiness)

Starry night
403 people in the disco
Blood and alcohol on the dance floor
I touched your body with demonic lust

(Passion and calmness;
The opposites met each other)

Stormy night
Lightning cracks the grey mattress
A mixture of kisses and caresses
We tasted ecstasy together

(Forbidden and permitted;
Sex's dance floats in the air)

Windy sunrise
Windows howling as the Sun bathes us
You rested your head on my naked chest
Evil grin in my face, I used a woman again

(Dream and reality;
This was doomed to last shortly)

II. DESPAIR ON MY HANDS

Next day I phoned
Nobody was at home
I had your body, I wanted more
Drank girl's lust, I wasn't done

Message on the cell phone
Midday passed, I was still alone
Got desperate, my desire wasn't gone
This was lust, nothing near to love

Met Juliet, said "She's not an object"
Passed her by, I ignored her
Longed for your sweat, started up my bike
Quench my desire, I got to your house

Rang the bell, you were there
You didn't answer me back then
Tear-dimmed eyes, truth revealed
You pushed me away, it's time to wail

Distrusted
Dishonored
Sadness on my heart
Despair on my hands

Seventy-plus on the highway
Back home with my heart swollen
The mirror faced me, what did I care?
Just another girl, I was not to blame

I lied to myself
Not to anyone else
Love's hammer hits anytime
And mostly when least expected

III. HAMMERED

Woken up
By the sound of the rain
Thought about it
I knew I missed her
Did I fail my own guidance?
Had love surprised at the last chance?

I needed a wise
Voice to guide me
Called Juliet
She rushed to my place
Said she warned me
But I didn't listen

I know you're right,
Now save me from sadness

Held in her embrace
How could this happen anyway?
Being a ladies' man's no easy task
After all, I still have a heart

What a sick sense of humor love has
To make me fall for such a woman
A bed's night is not a commitment
Nor a promise of another meeting

Hammered hard
I cried my heart
On the shoulders of a true friend
She stood by
Loyal to her trust
That's the kind of help I need

Wounded soul
I was deeply alone
Juliet left me shortly after
That's alright
I need to pry
All this selfishness from my mind

IV. SILENT TEARS

(Instrumental)

V. THE WHEEL KEEPS TURNING

A month passed
I saw you on that same street
I asked for forgiveness
You didn't comply
I was left in deep mistrust

A voice called from behind
Juliet was in my back
"Never cry again, my friend
Always look at what you gained"

I never knew that girl's name
I have to try and forget her
"In the end, the wheel keeps turning"
For my sake and Juliet's, I have to keep trying

The wheel keeps turning
Through love's unbreakable will
I have to keep trying
I need true love, someday I will

And that fateful day
I'll break free from this lonely Hell


Yep, I wrote it in English. We perform songs written in Spanish mostly, but I like writing in English as well. Anyway, post what you think of it (if you like, that is ).

"But he's the sort of man who can't know anyone intimately, least of all a woman. He doesn't know what a woman is. He wants you for a possesion, something to look at, like a painting or an ivory box. He doesn't want you to be real, or to think or to live. He doesn't love you..."
