Sorry, not sure this is ok. Its a little....i dunno how to put it but.........
We Could Be
The dust blows through rings of golden light
Halo's of the good promises of men
So many years down the dusty line
From when those promises were set
With the dying of the newborn sun
The death of a newborn's grace
The hearts of the strong are still starving
From all the lucky ones never gave
With no voice to scream
And no words to say
They have no eyes to see
And no hand to lead the way
But we could be the voice
We could be the words they need
Open a new world of life
To those with nothing left to believe
We could be....
And the ribbons of surrender wave tonight
Through the dusty air of pain
And the sun still never fails to die
At the end of each hopeless day
As the lives, they turn to seconds
When the broken pendulum swings
All it takes one less conveniance
In our perfect world of silent sin
With no voice to scream
And no words to say
They have no eyes to see
And no hand to lead the way
But we could be the voice
We could be the words they need
Open a new world of life
To those with nothing left to believe
We could be....
We could be.......

Very strong use of imagery...I'm guessing this is verse / chorus / verse / chorus, right?
Especially like the way you repeat the title at the end...comes across as desperate pleading....no real stand-out lines, they're all good....
I'm impressed by the high quality of submissions this week...personally, I've scrapped three different efforts, working on a fourth which seems to be heading the same way....
Good job, LB!!!
:D :D :D

Hi LB,
Indeed we could be....
I like the imagery of this song. The futility of the sun rising and setting and how you align that to the birth and death of the "newborn" is really good. I also like the structure of your chorus where the last half gives hope or sets the challenge. The "We could be"'s work well. I think if the last "We could be" was sung with a different inflection in the voice, to me that would give it great power. Well done :D .

First let me say I agree with everything that has already
been said. This is GREAT!!!!!!!
It could just be me but the use of "promises" and "newborn"
twice each in verse one puts me off a little.
Hope you don't mind if I try an edit.
Something like;
The dust blows through rings of golden light
Halo's of the good promises of men
So many years down the dusty line
From when those covenants were set
With the dying of the sun there comes
The death of a newborn's grace
The hearts of the strong are still starving
From all the lucky ones never gave
Just my thoughts
Celt
wow. Thank you both...I agree with you both and i like this verse you gave their celt...its a big improvment....
Thanks again!

hi LB
wow that was great :D no awsome :D
when I read this lyric I thought the word FOR might sound better than FROM
The hearts of the strong are still starving
for all the lucky ones never gave
when you end this verse I thougbt you may want to add on
With no voice to scream
And no words to say
They have no eyes to see
And no hand to lead the way
But we could be the voice
We could be the words they need
Open a new world of life
To those with nothing left to believe
We could be.... The lucky ones
any way great song as is.....
mystic :D
