The Nemesis Of The Lost

Bit of a break between updates there! Not that anyone probably cares mind you

Right, this is song number 4 of The Traveller Among The Lost, which is explained a few posts down. This is where the story begins to tie together a bit, although it's also possibly the most confusing and complicated bit so far! I'm quite happy with it, becuase every single word of it actually means something, but in my opinion it's not obvious at all what

The bits in italics are supposed to be spoken, in a sort of chaotic way, with pretty random instrumental noises, a bit like Pearl Jam's "Stupid Mop". The bits not in italics are sung, still probably with fairly chaotic instruments, but a bit more melodic. I think the way it'll probably work is building up from sparse at the beginning to completely all over the place by the end

Comments are always welcome

The Nemesis Of The Lost - August - December 2006

Extinguished, and screaming
We are the lost souls
We are the ones that you refuse to see
We are the children
We are the ones who cannot ever leave
We are the ones that cannot ever leave

We are the ones that cannot ever leave
Children of the damned beware
Lost souls are never guaranteed
A safe road to anywhere
And just as I started thinking that salvation may exist
I came under the gaze of the Nemesis ...

Of the Lost!
Slipping inside my mind
Of the Lost!
Demon among my thoughts
And I am lost!
Before its power
With nowhere to hide
As it plucks out all my ugliness
Amplifying it to tragedies
And running them before mine eyes

This nightmare begins and ends in darkness, a crowded theatre, a bed for two, vampires, love, and severance.
She held me once more as the world washed away.
This misty haze, this string of words, this chemical reaction, shattering to the pavement,
Fingers betray the mind betrays, ride the train again, paramour.
The air cries messages laced with confusion, the meaning obscured by the words
No time for a full return, no home, no hope,

Take me far away from here

The Nemesis of the Lost never stops

The contrast: The warmth then the endless cold dark road.
News of the concepts of life and death collide inside my heart and my head.
She whispers her despair, and from afar I hold her once again.
The rise and fall of friends, no end, first one, then two, then the terrible confession,
A forbidden planet, so beautiful the wedding, though overshadowed by the conflict of union.
The sight, the life, the pain is halved, the detachment twice, I'll never see what you've seen.
Sit with me and we'll discover the Holy Grail, sit with me, through hills and valleys,

Until it's all taken away

I hear the voice of the child of the damned
Light extinguished, and screaming
I am the lost soul
I am the one that you can never see
I am the child
I am the one that will not ever breathe

The Nemesis of the Lost never stops

A blank page, the words, a cage, a casual relationship between the murder and the screen.
My life, bisect, look foward, look back, the flowers are black but fade in time.
Nine cards, and the embers try to reignite, and sear me to my soul,
I send them far away from me, then wonder why it is that I'm so cold.

I think I may have made
A terrible mistake

The Nemesis of the Lost never stops

The slip, the hard fall, kiss the mud. A losing hand, and I've fallen from grace.
The fall gets longer with mistaken self invitation,
Forgotten mislaid messages take it to completion.
A study in insanity, a revolution, regaining control
A battle, confusion, a conclusion, temporary satisfaction,
Attempted altruism, a growing realisation, fetish, blood, and need
Attempt, rebuttal, a resolution, withdrawal,

To make you smile again

The Nemesis of the Lost never ....
Stop!
