Blazars

At times we all take our lives for granted, but we should make every moment count because one day we all die

Blazars

It has finally arrived, the summer solstice

We have climbed the mountain of life and reached its zenith

But we are all nothing but dust on the wind

We don't know where we're going so let's make the most of this

What we once thought was a world of will o' the wisps

Is now within our grasp, this may be our only chance

To spread our wings and fly like phoenixes

This life takes away more than it gives

So today let us sit upon our thrones in the sky

For the blazars in the night will one day sing their last lullaby

Our strength got us through lands of ice

We pulled through, even when blinded by life's headlights

And for the first time now, we feel alive

Milk it for all it's worth, we can never, ever rewind

What we once thought was a world of will o' the wisps

Is now within our grasp, this may be our only chance

To spread our wings and fly like phoenixes

This life takes away more than it gives

So today let us sit upon our thrones in the sky

For the blazars in the night will one day sing their last lullaby

Back when we first reached the equinox

We gave it all we've got, we took the shot

Now we've reached the kingdom of shining stones

And have left the land of broken bones

But one day it will all disappear

That is a truth, not just a fear

So of this life let's make the most

Before we drift into the unknown

This is our only chance

To spread our wings and fly like phoenixes

This life takes away more than it gives

So today let us sit upon our thrones in the sky

For the blazars in the night will one day sing their last lullaby

There is no going back, the past is in the past

The future is coming fast, we only have one chance

To give this everything we have, the winter has finally passed

So let's leave this land of shattered glass and embrace the sun at last

So of this life lets make the most. I totally agree as long as we do not hurt ourselves or others. It is one life with no second chances so try our hardest to make it the best we can. Valentine

Very pretty, it's a great reminder to make the best of life because we only get one that we know of. Take the chance, fight for what you want, and be yourself. I can definitely see this easily being a song! If you ever record yourself singing one of your poems and put it on here that would be awesome! :)

[DoormanDan]

I might try recording them someday, but for now these lyrics are just words on paper. :)

This review is difficult to write because this poem brought me to tears. Not because it was bad or sad but because it was emotional and relatable to me at this moment. I have seen you write about how you would like to be a songwriter so after this piece, I'm wondering of what kind? Once again, this poem was beautiful and inspiring. Thank you.

[DoormanDan]

Thank you so much for the kind, honest review! The kind of songwriter i wan to be is either a symphonic metal(bands like Nightwish, Xandria, Within Temptation) songwriter, melodic rock(bands like Young Guns) or a rock and metal mix(bands like Linkin Park, From Ashes to New). I believe that lyrics should be more than just words, they should carry people away to distant lands, which is what i try my best to do. But before i try becoming a pro. songwriter i need to get through high school first(2 more years to go!)

[Stephanie K.]

I know how you feel, but that's awesome! I would love to talk to you about it more if you ever get the chance!

[DoormanDan]

Thanks, it would be great to talk to you about it more sometime!
