They say...
If you go
To the beach
With a shovel
And start digging
You will find
Yourself left behind
And you'll know
That he came from a past life
"Chorus"
I'm lost in an echo
My life is an echo
And the man rises
From the depths
The man rises
The man rises
From beneath the sand
The man from beneath
The sand
is making
His last stand

Yeah he runs to oblivion
He runs to the setting sun
And he doesn't know who he is
But he's the man
The man from beneath the sand
And he runs across the land
In search for something
he doesn't have
"Chorus"
I'm lost in an echo
My life is an echo
And the man rises
From the depths
The man rises
The man rises
From beneath the sand
The man from beneath
The sand is making
His last stand
His last stand...
This is his last stand...
"Bridge"
Search within yourself
And find the man
The man that you
Buried
Beneath the sand
Beneath the land
He's inside of you
He knows the truth
He knows you
He is the man
The man that lived once
And will live again
"Chorus"
I'm lost in an echo
My life is an echo
And the man rises
From the depths
The man rises
The man rises
From beneath the sand
The man from beneath
The sand is making
His last stand
His last stand

Although the subject is "total Johnb31"it to me,really sings off the page.What I mean is this;while reading the lyrics,I started singing them,got up off my bed,started dancing around the room........okay,I Did start singing them.John,you're one heavy writer.Now,let's get Dark,again.Really bone chilling,if you got something like this on the menu,I'll have appetizers and dessert!Oh,and a glass of wine.

HahHahahhHahah this is really laughter Doug you crack me up and I'm working on something dark this song was written in response to the story I wrote about the man beneath the sand. I have a whole story in the works that I'm trying to put together about the sand and its seemingly meaninglessness.

John,I think I mentioned this to you before;in my opinion,I think you could write short stories,not neccessarily poems or songs.I know I'd like to read something from you that didn't have any limitations on them.No having to fit into a certain structure.Let me know if you ever do any short stories.

I'll email you the one I'm working on now once it's done if you want.

I've read several of your post and they are all very good, a little dark for my taste, but very good all the same

I have some songs that are not dark it just depends on the topic. They may seem dark but they are actually about something that isn't dark at all. I like to experiment with the polarity of life the ups and the downs and how it is those ups and downs that make life worth living. Thank you for reading my songs I really appreciate it when people take time out of their day to read my stuff it's incredible.

I would prefer it if the man would have started to do a quickstep around the room with Doug,lol
No kidding, John. Keep going, though you call this "Last Stand"

I really liked it! I think it would make a great metal song (or it already does ). I sang it in my mind while reading it and I liked the rhymes. Definitely a good song.

Tania! How about a duet? Two guitars and two vocals. And Doug on drums! John pays for the studio+ copyrights......
