Cursed Spell

This was hard both style-wise and emotionally for me. CRY, baby, CRY!!!

Tempo=102bpm   Count=4/4

Can you explain why we hurt ourselves?   (A B B-D D B C# E-D)

Someone reach out we're looking for help   (B-B B D D D-C# B Bb)

Oh, Lord, we hold onto all this hate   (B B B D D B C# E-D)

Killing ourselves as we dissipate    (B-B B-D D D C#-B-Bb)

I see the light of good fading day by day   (Bb B C# B Bb B D-B C# E D)

The shadows of evil creeping in its way   (B C-C# C Bb-B D-C# C B Bb)

With a selfish mind our souls become hollow    (A B B-B D D B C#-C# E-D)

In the grasp of the monster we've been swallowed   (Bb B B C# D D-B C# C B-Bb)

The world is rancid with shrouded darkness    (B F#-E D E-D B C#-C# E-D)
Scenes in our dreams that make us nauseous    (B B C# D B C# C F# A)

Our thoughts lead to impulsion's of desire   (B F# E D E-D-B C# C#-E-D)

Locked in a prison of our own fire   (B D C# E-D B E D F#-E)

Chorus:

God, save us from our own hell   (D GF# E D F# D E)

Break us from this cursed spell   (G F# E D F#-D C#)

Inside us all the darkness dwells   (A-B F# E D C#-D E)

Escape from death; life, ring your bells  (D-G F# E D B^ A^ E`D.E.F#)

The nations are falling apart each day   (A B-B B D-D B-C# E D)

As we continue to cave in our ways   (B B B-D-D D C# B B Bb)

God tried to warn us with His Bible   (B B B D D B C# E-D)

Laughed at the covers; He's turned the tables   (B B B D-D D C# B B-Bb)

Does anyone here the warning in this song   (Bb B-C#-B Bb B D-B C# E D)
This curse is growing strong as we live our wrongs   (B C-C# C Bb-B D-C# C B Bb)

While we are pursued in our feeble lives   (A B B B-D D B C#-E D)

We have become prisoners of the hive   (B B C#-D D-B-C# C B Bb)

The world is rancid with shrouded darkness    (B F#-E D E-D B C#-C# E-D)
Scenes in our dreams that make us nauseous    (B B C# D B C# C F# A)

Our thoughts lead to impulsion's of desire   (B F# E D E-D-B C# C#-E-D)

Locked in a prison of our own fire   (B D C# E-D B E D F#-E)

Chorus

The world is rancid with shrouded darkness    (B F#-E D E-D B C#-C# E-D)
Scenes in our dreams that make us nauseous    (B B C# D B C# C F# A)

Our thoughts lead to impulsion's of desire   (B F# E D E-D-B C# C#-E-D)

Locked in a prison of our own fire   (B D C# E-D B E D F#-E)

Author's Note

Seriously, I need some feedback on this one. This style of music is extremely difficult to self-compose.

Reviews

[NightShade]

Spectacular!

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

This was sensational, a witness in itself! I would love to hear it put to music!

[Ruth]

Sounds as though it would be a hard, melancholy type piece :) Great wording and this stands on its own as a poem and a song!
Wonderfully expressive and dark, but also intelligently delivered xx

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

I dont consider myself a musician, but more a writer of sorts. I acually enjoyed this it flowed wonderfully into a song, not sure the style you are looking for - but maybe. Great 'write.

[Brad]

will have to play this out on my own guitar and have a read through with it again

[GlamGirl]

Oh wow. This is amazing. (I actually played it, lol)
Incredible stuff.

[Robin]
