To the sound of Deadly Sins

Had to write song lyrics for a corporative project with A musician and a graphic designer. Bless their soul, they have it cut out for them trying to do something with this.

I’m dancing with my inner demons

Their rhythm brings me peace

As we waltz in the darkness

I can finally sleep

 

Guilty air surrounds me

A deep breath I can no longer breathe

As I dance with my demons

These sins mean nothing to me

 

I’m dancing with you my demon

To the sound of deadly sins

When I look into your eyes

How can I resist letting the demon inside

 

A guilty heart has  no rhythm

Sinful feet can’t waltz alone

Hold me tight my love

Before the morning comes

 

I’ve seen the path to redemption

Judgment has a sour tune

But as I dance with these demons

I think only of you

 

I know the past is behind us

These steps are flawed and up beat

As along as we waltz with our demons

The guilty will have their sleep

 

I’m dancing with you my demon

To the sound of deadly sins

When I look into your eyes

How can I resist letting the demon inside

 

A guilty heart has  no rhythm

Sinful feet can’t waltz alone

Hold me tight my love

Before the morning comes

 

I see your look through the darkness

Waltzing with my demons and me

As we lay down to sleep

I feel no guilt with you in me

 

As the darkness lifts

My demons stop their slow dance

The guilt consumes me

Should I give it the chance?

 

I waltz alone

 My sins consume me

(Consume me)

As you my demon

Forget it’s time to dance

"A guilty heart has a no rhythm"
Suggestion-> "A guilty heart has no rhythm"
I can easily see this being a song.
To me it seemed about backsliding, wanting to be better, feeling guilty and then doing what you did wrong over again because it was ever so enticing.
Well penned.

Actually didn't even notice I put an 'a' there. Thanks so much for the review. I'll god back and fix it.

[Bluefire]

Thank you so much for reading.

[Kai Rollins]

To let ya know. You've got a great friend :3 this song is just the right feel for today . Great job here

[Heidi Causey]

Thank you very much. I'm so glad every one is enjoying this piece. Makes me less nervous to hand it over to the poor men that have to put it to music.

Darkly enchanting, I could hear hauntingly beautiful music playing in the background. Brittany sent me and I'm thrilled she did. Nicely pen'd.

[Heidi Causey]

Thank you so much, I was really worried about this piece. I'm never attempted to write something that was to be placed to music.

[Frieda P]

I'm glad you did, you did a smack up job, those demons are dancing on your page!

[Brittany Zedalis]

I'm so glad you posted it on here. :)

[Heidi Causey]

Trying to name this thing... Omg.

[Brittany Zedalis]

If you mean you're still trying to think of a name, I actually like what you've named it already.

[Heidi Causey]

It's a place holder... That happened to work lol

[Brittany Zedalis]

Well, I like it. :P
