lyrics

The road was narrow and lit only by the moon
Darkness seeped through the wounds in the clouds
The stars flickered lashes and gazed like the gods of owls
The wind’s whirling whispers talked to me aloud
They said words that transfixed and hypnotised
Made my heart thump like a soldier’s march
Spiders ran down my back, for trees hidden by the black
Images flashed causing my mouth to parch
 
Refrain
The fear is rising uncontrollably inside
It’s howling at me now
 
My heart pumped blood through veins pressurised to burst
My stride speeded as the fear rose
My mind was on edge adrenalin-fuelled and feeling cursed
The convict’s last appeal before the gallows
The sky erupted applauding the demon mood
Daylight cracked in a fork above
Rain hammered on my face, ran to my mouth and I could taste
The ferrous heat of imaginary blood
 
Refrain
 
A hand, I saw a hand
It brushed past my face and came to rest on my shoulder
A scream, I wanted to scream
But air could not force its way out of my lungs
I fell, falling forever
Will I ever……… will I ever land?
 
The sun brings warmth to the surface of my pillowcase
All that’s left is the sweat on my forehead
The fear once etched into the muscles of my face
Has faded but the memory remains undead
The day begins I go about my business
Triggers fire the guns that stop me in my tracks
Fear is the cause, the key lurking inside you and me
Coiled like a snake and ready to attack

about

Roger Hammond Amsterdam, Netherlands

Based near Amsterdam. I write, play guitar, sing and record. I try to write interesting lyrics and occasionally I think they are. A lot of the songs end up with a calm sound and emphasize the vocals and acoustic guitar. My early influences were Paul Simon, Tom Waits, Jethro Tull, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Chopin, The Beatles, Elvis Costello, Otis Redding and a ton more along the way ... more
