Besieged

an acoustic style song.. about a king who had too much pride and bit off more than he could chew. I relate to the words by watching myself destroy my my life growing up. also relates to drug use.

In the distance he could hear,
as the adversaries near,
that pride has failed to lift again,
the heads that roll from all his men.

(humming melody)

he's taken shelter in the night,
by the burned out candle light,
with cavalry footsteps closing in,
everything  begins to end.

pleeeease x2
can we get a little peace
our people don't need to bleed
and our children don't need to see

For once the siege began,
came the torching of his land,
and everything thats his paradise,
bleeds and burns before his eyes

pleasex2
can we get a little peace
our people don't need to bleed
and our women don't need to see

For once the siege began,
it was over for his men.
All is gone theres nothing left,
of a man who found it hard to say..

chorus

For once the siege began,
it was over for his men.

This is a bit short for the contest you submitted it to, but only by approx. 10 lines. I'll think about letting that slide since not many people are even that close (way too short or way too long). It also has the topic in it, which is also pretty rare in the contsest.

Also, it's hard to say no to a song that is this cool. I really like the style, the message, and the poetic structure. Great job!
