Dragon Slayer

Was thinking Hard Rock for this - For anyone who ever had to deal with suicide with a loved one. Hoping to find a muso to collaborate with on this.

Chorus
I’ll be your Dragon-slayer
A shelter from the raging storms
I’ll wrap you in my arms
To keep you safe and warm
Together we’ll slay your demons
That keep your life ragged and torn
Make you laugh and smile once more
Giving you a fresh start, a new dawn

V1
So you’ve lost your way,
Led astray took the wrong path
You been wandering ever since
Fighting demons in the dark
Feeling battered and bruised
Now you’re just so tired of life
You want to quietly fade away
Like a thief in the dark of night
You’d cause heartbreak and pain
I’m here to help you in this fight
V2
You’ve had enough of the wrongs
You’ve tried but can’t make right
Wanting to take the easy way out
Surrendering yourself to this fight
Old friend, I’ve been to the edge
And I’ve seen what’s down there
Writhing damned souls in agony
Screaming for mercy so beware
Their souls are lost yours is not
You don’t have to live in despair

Chorus
I’ll be your Dragon-slayer
A shelter from the raging storms
I’ll wrap you in my arms
To keep you safe and warm
Together we’ll slay your demons
That keeps your life ragged and torn
Make you laugh and smile once more
Giving you a fresh start, a new dawn

V3
Yes, you can rise up from the ashes
Just like that Phoenix if you dare
Leave that place, it leads nowhere
Come with me, believe that I care
Go for a joyride, saddle the horses
Take the stallion I’ll take the mare
Race like daredevils without a care
Sun on your face wind in your hair
Chase butterflies let everyone stare
Yes smile again, that’s been so rare

Hello Gwyneth!

Hey a most courageous write this one...I like it lots. You hit the grit  and emerge unscathed on horse back no less...awsome!

I don't know what music would fit. Rap?...haha.

nice write.

Cheers.

    Hi Bill. Thanks so much for the kind comments. Well I have some opinions from a couple

of "Hard Rockers"(that would love to have a stab at it but have too much on their plates at the moment, but they said that if I just trim the fat a little it would make a good rock song. So that's what I'm aiming for and hope that I can find someone to collaborate with, for the Rock genre. Know of anyone who might be up for it ?

 

 

Hi Gwyneth,

I have no music training and I believe that having such is necessary for the really good compositions, but for fun I started a little intro to the song.  

It seems a little 'Tokien' in content...The Hobbit...so what came out was a touch celtic.

I changed the chorus on the fly to match the musical hook...and stumble a bit at ragged and torn...

After the intro I hear in my head a full rocking instrumental cascade of sound and a good strong lead sing....what do you think?

Hi Bill
Thanks so much glad you like
So you said you did something with this lyric.
I'd love to hear it if you could post it here :/)

Hi Bill,

Thanks so much, glad you had a bit of fun with it. I can definately hear the "Celtic Touch" , no prob with the tweaking it

works in this instance for the music.  But I envisage this as a Hard Rock number hehehe, hope there's a rocker out

there that might want to have a stab at it.

Thanks Bill, that was fun and to answer your question yes - "full rocking instrumental cascade of sound and a good strong lead sing"

I like it

Dear Gwyneth, Hi I like this one. So full of hope. All teh song lyrics that you have written is so beautiful. Have you ever had any of them recorded/ published. God Bless!

Dennis

Hi Dennis,

Yes, I've had a few recorded. I must put them up on open mic soon so you can listen. But I still have quite a number of

orphan lyrics that need to be set to music.

I'm so glad you like my work, thank you for the lovely words of encouragement, you have no idea

how much it means to me.

Gwyneth Enjoyed the read,Looking forward to hearing it.
