New lyrics: The Prophecies

I'm, again, on a coach. A coach going home. I literary got up there to finally get a row of seats to myself. It has been packet like sardines on this bus for the majority of the journey. I'm tired. Physically and mentally. I got up at 6am this morning, left at 6.30am, and it is 6.18pm, and I'm still not near getting home. Another 45 minutes maybe. And that's me finished early. However, don't get the violins out for me. I'll be fine. Just finished another sets of lyrics that have been sitting for the last few days and have slowly been written.

I don't know where it came from, but I was trying to think of subject matter possibly fitting to the themes surrounding 'Under the Pyramids'. I began researching - in detail instead of the hear'say that surrounds the internet, Nostrodamus. I was interested to read some of his prophecies, and to read up on how accurate these prophecies were. I read a bit about him one day, and it turns out most of his work is just random jargon, in a variety of languages. He is essentially only writing to attack the Governments and societies of that time, but he does so in a very clever and subtle way. Many of the prophecies could be attributed to many situations, if you so tweaked them to. And there had been the prophecy that he had predicted the twin towers collapse; however there is no real evidence to suggest this; and the circulation on the internet of his actual prophecy has been altered to be more fitting. Even though he and his prophecies are intriguing and interesting, the realities to events that happen are just not there. So I was originally going to write the song entitled 'The Man Who Saw Tomorrow' after a film of the same name about Nostrodamus. However, I began writing the song as a Diamante poem, which didn't quite allow me to call it that, as it was not biographical.

I have entitled the song 'The Prophecies', after the title of his most famous work, and have written the song as a contrast of his prophecies, which are complete guesswork, with objectivity, which comes from a completely scientific and so more accurate viewpoint.

The Prophecies

Prophecies
Vivid, bizarre
Warning, prognosticating, foreboding,
Brainwork, theorisation......Enlightened, scientific
Questioning, experimenting, answering,
Meticulous, factual
Objectivity

Completed on 26th of August 2011 on coach from Glasgow to Edinburgh. Listening to 'Be Yourself' by Audioslave. In the style of a Diamante Poem, contrasting Objectivity and Prophecy.

I am quite happy with these lyrics. It did take a lot of time to write the song. I thought I'd have been easier than it was, so I enjoyed the challenge. Soon, soon, I will get the chance to write some new music. Soon,
