Hey everyone,

I am new to the group. This is my first submission. Hope you like. I have a feeling someone will guess mine quick. :)

Verse 1
You arrived in a
Flash of day
Barreling towards us from
Somewhere far away

It's been quite a journey
But now you're here to stay
With a cross in our eye
And a Gama ray.

Chorus
It's been a long long time since
Something like this
Came our way

Ten thousand years or more
And no telling how long you'll stay.

Verse 2
There's always been a sun
And the light of moon
But now the day won't
End too soon

Our ancestors spoke of a
Fire god
Who showed up once and
Chased away the dark.

Bridge
It's been a long long time
Since something came our way

A meteor, comet or alien? It seems like an interstellar traveler. I will go with meteor.

Welcome to the forum. Have you got a melody in mind

Hi Matt,

First off, welcome to SSG :mrgreen:

I like your minimalist approach in the lyrics :D

What music do you hear for the lyrics?

On to the guessing game.......
My guess is the second coming of Jesus Christ :roll:

Thanks for sharing.

James

MrEWorm is on the right track for the meaning. I already have the song pretty much written with music and everything. I'll get it recorded and post later tonight. I wrote it for a two man band I'm in, with just guitar and drums so the music will be minimal too. Thanks for the replys!

The song is about a super nova by the way. It happened once back in ancient times and lit up the night sky for a week or so. This song is about that happening again. Maybe not as easily guessed as I thought.

I am relieved to hear that....otherwise it would have been a quite a theological mess to unravel :shock:

I'm looking forward to the listen :wink:
