My entry to this week's Open Mic is an original song of mine, written a few years back and that I haven't performed for a while. I hope you like it. Lyrics below.
The Vigilante's Song
I was born of love
but now I'm seeking vengeance
on the wild and petty few who cannot win
I'm tuning up my armour and my penance
I've set my sights upon the beast within
Chorus:
Oh you who build your dungeons in the heavens
your famous fabled love is such a sham
like children with a taste for armageddon
you skin the fatted calf and bleed the lamb
I moved through love
I'll move through you and shudder
to think I lived so long without regret
I'll treat you like I treated every other
the price of life is just another debt
Chorus
And I thank you not to tarnish all the people
who live their lives where morning never sets
I'll take you out to where the old town steeple
is counting down the hours that you have left
Chorus
Thanks to @luzypher as always for hosting. Can't wait to see what you folks submit :)
