Blue Sun Room FILK - FILK

First post and a try at a song

Thursday, January 11, 2007

I just felt driven to do a Reaver song--

CATEGORY: FILK    TIMES READ: 1748    RATING: 9.0 (G)    SERIES: FIREFLY

Tweet

“You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars,My energy’s spent at last, and my armor is destroyed. I have used up all my weapons, and I’m helpless and bereaved, wounds are all I’m made of….” Blue Oyster Cult

I never have been much of a writer, but after watching Firefly for the first time I’m kinda’ driven to do SOMETHING creative, so here goes:

I’m not a musician by any means, but I can imagine this song I wrote sung as kind of a dirge, and I could rip the drum track right from “Veteran of the Psychic Wars” and maybe add a metallic clang along with the drums…

Criticism and remarks welcomed and appreciated, thanks!

Blood Red Moon

A flash of light across a blood red moon

You pray that your life will be ending soon

Your skin crawls like it knows we’re near

We long for flesh and we thirst for fear

No one knows why we’re made this way

You crossed our path and we’ll make you pay

We rend your flesh and wear your skin

When we’re done you’ll have never been

Lead us on to your non-believers

Soon they’ll learn why they call us Reavers

Lead us on to your non-believers

Soon they’ll learn why they call us Reavers

If your screaming soul can find it’s way

To a peaceful place maybe there you’ll stay.

But your bones will bake in an endless noon

As they spin through space 'round a blood red moon

For what it's worth, I liked it. To me, in some ways, writing filk is much harder than writing a straight up fic, and it takes alot of courage to post your work for all to see, so kudos. Love the title also.

Thanks for the reply BTF! I need to edit the last part, as soon as I can figure out how. It's not a very happy song though is it? Well I guess Reavers would dance around while singing it. lol, this is just for fun, so I'm not too hung up on "MY CREATION" I'm too old and eat-up to get ego entanglements. :-) I used to though, when I was twenty something. Thanks again for the comment!

Thank you for the compliment! Firefly has been a great inspiration to me, It took me a long time to discover it, I wish I had been in from the get-go though---I just don't watch any telly at all unless it's on disc. A lot of stuff I'm glad I missed, but I missed out for sure on this one. :(
