In progress. Something I've felt like doing for a while. Not as if I'm ever going to do anything with these :)

I recently dug up the idea, and remembered a short story notion which didn't really work in that format. Just the lyrics for the first 'song' up at the moment.


FALLING FROM THE TREE-TOPS

II – The Swarming People

Proclamation By God

I'm here!
Hear me!

I am he, who made both sun and moon,
I am he, who crafted sea and sky,
I am he, who granted bough and dune,
I am he and I declare that He must die

From my seed there grew the oak, that yet shall be his pyre!
From my dung there formed the ground, on which he shall expire!

I am he, who gives both light and dark
I am he, who supplies storm and calm,
I am he, who tends the sand and bark,
I am he and I declare that He must come to harm

With my thoughts I shaped the void, which soon will fill His head.
With my hands I built the man, whose hands will make Him dead.

I am he!
He must die!

I am no good at music, but the text seems promising to me.
