Short Wave Radio

*UPDATE*: I just added a new version of this song to my MySpace page (better sound quality). Feel free to download. Thanks, W.

Lyrics:

SHORT WAVE RADIO

I still have that short wave radio
that you sent to me
And I carry it from room to room
with the dying batteries

And the news of the world
with its fools and their swords
fills these rooms like a fog...

Someday the stone will be rolled away
and I'll stumble through
And I'll say a life lived outside the fray
is all I can do.

And I saw in the field
All the crows attack the dear
And I knew my end was near
But only in the way the soul can't shake off what it fears

---

I dreamed the stones fell like snow
falling around me
All the angels, saints and gargoyles
shattered on the street

And I woke to the bells
Ringing loud for someone else
It's still a death in of itself
And all this time I thought that you had loved someone else.

[OrfeoEnajenado]

Of course your visuals are impressive, but your lyrics reflect quite well the spirit of your song.

Anybody who hears this song can recall their own personal notion of isolation, sorrow and broken (yet still existing) hopes.

Not many artists dare to compose something different to a clichè of a human emotion and suceed on the task.

That's what I call talent
