Lyrical Assistance

Okay, so I got bored the other day and decided to write some acoustic fantasy rock. With a little inspiration I got something going. However, I only got a little bit of the lyrics done before I ran out of fantastical juice. Below I will post what I have, and I ask that you all contribute whatever you can, keeping in mind that it is intentionally overdramatic and ridiculous. Try to think "fantasy" while you write. Here goes:



Three days away the the sunlight's burning through
Drilling in and burning out all my mem'ries of you
But still I ride, I'm pushing on across this arid hell
Time is short and well I know the darkness of your cell

The fortress looms ahead, it's shadow blocks the sun
Its cold embrace is full of hate; he'll rue the harm he's done
My thoughts of you lift me up and give me strength so stand
I'll find you and I'll set you free and take you by the hand

(chorus)
Fly-y-y away
Upon the wings of everything you've ever dreamed of
Fly-y-y away, my love
Safe from every evil thing we'll live among the stars
We'll fly away


Everything is open to suggestion. And anyone who wants to come help me write it is more than welcome.

  1. i am reminded of styx and therefore feel the need for the entering of aliens, robots or some other non-human lifeforce that will lead the protagonists to safety and rocket this musical fantasy onto a plateau of unknown ecstasy and brilliance. go.
