Cursed Spell

This was hard both style-wise and emotionally for me. It has an old Egyptian style tune-jam to it. CRY, baby, CRY!!!

Tempo=102bpm   Count=4/4

Can you explain why we hurt ourselves?   (Ab Bb Bb-Db Db Bb C Db-C)

Someone reach out we're looking for help   (Bb-Bb Bb Db Db Db-C Bb A)

Why do we judge with judgmental hate   (Bb-Bb Bb Db Db Bb C Db C)

We harm ourselves by the many fates    (Bb-Bb Bb-Db Db Db C-Db-A)

I see the light of good fading day by day   (A Bb C Bb A Bb Db-Bb C Eb Db)

The shadows of evil creeping in its way   (Bb B-C B A-Bb Db-C B Bb A)

With a foolish mind our thoughts become hollow    (Ab Bb Bb-Bb Db Db Bb C-C Db-C)

In the grasp of ignorance we all follow   (A Bb Bb Bb C Db Db-Bb C B Bb-A)

The world is rancid with shrouded deceit    (Bb F-Eb Db Eb-Db Bb C-C Eb-Db)
Played by the hands who dictate the streets     (Bb Bb C Db Bb C B F )

Our thoughts: lead by impulsion's of desire   (Bb F Eb Db Eb-Db-Bb C C-Eb-Db)

Locked in a prison of our own fire   (Bb Db C Eb-Db Bb Eb Db F-Eb)

Chorus:

We are to blame for our own hell   (Db F# F Eb Db F Db Eb)

Endorsed by ignorance tall-tales   (Db-F# F Eb-Db-F Db-C)

Inducing the darkness that dwells   (Ab-Bb-F Eb Db-C Db Eb)

Escape the lies; truth, ring your bells  (Db-F#  F Eb  Db Bb^ Ab Eb)

The nations are falling apart each day   (Ab Bb-Bb Bb Db-Db Bb-C Db-C)

As we continue to cave in our ways   (Bb Bb Bb-Db-Db Db C Bb Bb A)

When will we wake from our self destruction   (Bb Bb Bb Db Db Bb C C-Db-C)

We are to blame for our own corruption   (Bb Bb Bb C Db-Db Db C Bb Bb-A)

Does anyone here the message in this song   (A Bb-C Bb A Bb Db-Bb C Eb Db)
A war is growing strong; suffering prolongs   (Bb B C B-A Bb Db-C-B Bb-A)

While we are pursued in our feeble lives   (Ab Bb Bb Bb-Db Db Bb C-Db C)

We all become prisoners of the hive   (Bb Bb C-Db Db-Bb-C B B Bb)

The world is rancid with shrouded deceit    (Bb F-Eb Db Eb-Db Bb C-C Eb-Db)
Played by the hands who dictate the streets     (Bb Bb C Db Bb C B F )

Our thoughts: lead by impulsion's of desire   (Bb F Eb Db Eb-Db-Bb C C-Eb-Db)

Locked in a prison of our own fire   (Bb Db C Eb-Db Bb Eb Db F-Eb)

Chorus

(background) Chorus (background)

The world is rancid with shrouded deceit    (Bb F-Eb Db Eb-Db Bb C-C Eb-Db)
Played by the hands who dictate the streets     (Bb Bb C Db Bb C B F )

Our thoughts: lead by impulsion's of desire   (Bb F Eb Db Eb-Db-Bb C C-Eb-Db)

Locked in a prison of our own fire   (Bb Db C Eb-Db Bb Eb Db F-Eb)

Author's Note

This piece was as tough to figure out the sound as much of a melancholy write it is.
My most emotional piece yet. I think it ties with many of us just as strong differently; considering the increasing struggles we face on a daily basis.

LISTEN! Hear how the music goes with the song. Use it as a rhythm guide

Reviews

[NightShade]

Spectacular!

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

This was sensational, a witness in itself! I would love to hear it put to music!

[Ruth]

Sounds as though it would be a hard, melancholy type piece :) Great wording and this stands on its own as a poem and a song!
Wonderfully expressive and dark, but also intelligently delivered xx

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

I dont consider myself a musician, but more a writer of sorts. I acually enjoyed this it flowed wonderfully into a song, not sure the style you are looking for - but maybe. Great 'write.

[Brad]

will have to play this out on my own guitar and have a read through with it again

[GlamGirl]

Oh wow. This is amazing. (I actually played it, lol)
Incredible stuff.

[Robin]
