Child of the Light – Unfinished Mix

A bit of 80s style guitar-rock goodness. I wanted to wait with sharing this until the mix had actually been completed, but the sound guy is taking his sweet time, so here it is.

Vocals and lyrics by me. Music by a couple of guys from my class last year, all instruments by students from the same school. Sorry about the weird quality; again, the mix is unfinished, so one of the guitars is really low, and the drums and bass get lost occasionally.

Lyrics:

It's been such a long, long time
I've been trying to take back what was mine
It has been a thousand years
But the days go by and rain turns into tears

And as we follow we try to see what the world will give us
Life will keep going but I'm here…

I'm here and I won't go away
No matter how hard you push I will stay
I'm here and I won't go away
You see, I'm the child
Whoa
The child of the light

I'm the cause of all your pain
I'm the blizzard breaking through the falling rain
I am the storm, I am the sun
If you can see me, it is far too late to run

And as you follow to try to see the war I will give you
Life will keep going, and I'm here…

I'm here and I won't go away
No matter how hard you push I will stay
I'm here and I won't go away
You see, I'm the child
Whoa
Yes, I am the child
Whoa
The child of the light

Very late-80s metal. Fun stuff and very lush!
