Title: Lost Cause
Post by: Casia - lyricist on December 27, 2009, 08:35:06 PM

Lost Cause
Casia - original lyrics
Billy Knight - modified lyrics, vocals, melody
Erik Lawson - concept, guitars, bass, sampled drums
Rich Michaels - lead guitar
Scottland - lead guitar
Drumattic - drums

(V1)
He's been a lost cause
From the day that he was born
The devil didn't want him
So he wanders all alone
Trying to make a living
Off of other people's bones
Cross his path
You might not come back
He will do you wrong
He's a lost cause

(V2)
Now we all know the Queen of Hearts
Is a very fickle soul
She'll use you and abuse you
She'll take complete control
Lying in wait to change your fate
She will eat you whole
No remorse for her main course
Her love will take it's toll
It's a lost cause

(V3)
Now he's afraid of nothing
And no one can do him harm
He's got a razor's smile
And eyes of fire
He'll kill you with his charm
She was out to meet him
And he knew the game of chase
With her ruby lips and her curvy hips
He would never be the same

(V4)
The minute that he saw her
All the angels cried above
Because they knew
There was nothing they could do
To sanctify this love
He was a lost cause
A marriage made in a hell
It was a lost cause
Maybe it's just as well

(bridge)
Two paths diverge
Two souls that live in scourge
Black moon in the sky
And lost in their eyes
They reached the point of no return
It was a lost cause

It's just a lost cause
A marriage made in hell
It was a lost cause
Maybe it's just as well
It was a lost cause
Maybe it's just as well
It was a lost cause

Very nice, old-style rock. This one reminds me of Styx too - this time because the vocals (not the tune) sound a bit like "Snowblind".

Great guitar solo!

What do you mean by incommunicado, Casia? Has he been banned, or what?

Banned  ;D, no.  He's just busy, doing the band thingy, and doesn't come on line too much anymore.
