Master Of The Forgotten (Alt rock) w/ trumpet bridge /extended 7 min.

[Casia - lyricist]

This is another version of my lyric.  The original one was done by Christina and Mabian in early 2011, but he did not want us to post anywhere!!

This new alternative rock version is about 7 minutes long and incudes an awesome trumpet bridge and was done by an offsite group

(V1)
Master of the Forgotten
I roam this forbidden land
There's a curse upon my poison lips
With no water at hand

I walk alone in defiance
How did I get this far
For I believe in lasting love
They tell me I am scarred

(Pre-Chorus)
Oh, it's raining
Looking for the truth
I’ve become a student
Of my reckless youth

(V2)
I'm strugglin' for freedom
Mapped in blood without rules
The poor man's enemy
Is the heart of a fool

(V3)
Can you ever forgive me
I know not what I do
Each broken heart that cannot mend
Is sprinkled with truth

(Chorus)
Master of the Forgotten
What lies ahead
There's no answer in what I never said
Master of the Forgotten
Stung a second time
Flounderin' on open seas
Captain of the Rime

(Trumpet midsection/bridge)
So you see (so you see)
I am hanging on (hanging on)
Hanging on by a thread (by a thread)
I just need you to tell me (tell me)
Are we alive or are we dead (are we dead)
The things I see (I see) in this world
They have long (long) long been forgot (forgot)
But I hope it’s not too late (too late)
It’s love, that I hope (hope) that I still want
Won’t you sail away with me
I’m floundering on the sea

Musical solo

(V3 repeat)
Can you ever forgive me
I know not what I do
Each broken heart that cannot mend
Is sprinkled with truth

(Chorus)
Master of the Forgotten
What lies ahead
There's no answer in what I never said
Master of the Forgotten
Stung a second time
Flounderin' on open seas
Captain of the Rime

(Outro)
Master of the Forgotten
What lies ahead
What lies ahead
What lies ahead
Please tell me what
What lies ahead
What lies ahead
Ooooooooooh

This is awesome Casia! Great guitars and vocals. And also a professional sounding mix.
What a collab!

Thanks so much Paulo and Holger.  Even though it's long, there's nothing I want to cut.  I'm very pleased with this one.

[CosmicDolphin]

Nice tune Cas !

...not sure why he wouldn't want to post it anywhere ?

Thanks Will, glad you like.

@CD, just seeing your comment now.  Glad you like this tune.  It's not this version that isn't being posted though, it's a previous version by a different singer and composer.  And, I think the reason he didn't want to post it just anywhere is copyright reasons.
