Song Lyrics: Fay Rising Fan Song*

*THIS IS AN ORIGINAL SONG FOR
Allymp3 's STORY. PLEASE DO NOT USE OR REPOST WITHOUT PERMISSION.

Surprise! Hello, everyone! I have a very special treat for you today. And guess what? It's a whole song this time! Isn't that great? I'm excited to share it with you, so I hope you're excited to see it!

Before that, though, I have to make an announcement. We've reached the 100-viewer milestone for this book! Thanks so much to everyone who has taken the time to read this! It really means a lot. I hope this will be the first of many more happy occasions. Plus, today's post is a great way to celebrate!

I wrote this song a while back, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I was inspired to do a fan creation for @Allymp3 's original story, Fay Rising, since it's quite special to me--and I know I'm not the one who feels that way. In  Allymp3 's words, and I quote, the song is "so accurate...it's a little scary". Hearing that made me really happy, because I was very glad to have gotten it right.

Alright, let's get to the main event--here's the song:

Verse 1:

Trying too hard, don't know who to please

Can't trust the truth so here I am on my knees

This fear is crippling, I can't put up a fight

In all this darkness, tell me,

Where is the light?

Chorus:

Is there any hope left?

Is there an open door?

Please, I need to escape

I can't take it anymore

I thought I could be strong

But they said I was weak

What will it take to rise

Above this pain and suffering?

Verse 2:

They say if you're too trusting, it'll result in death

My innocence is tarnished but I haven't lost it yet

There's bloodstains on my hands and a weight in my wings

I want to run from my past but it's catching up with me

Chorus:

Is there any hope left?

Is there an open door?

Please, I need to escape

I can't take it anymore

I thought I could be strong

But they said I was weak

What will it take to rise

Above this pain and suffering?

Verse 3:

What is this betrayal tearing me apart

Shattering the pieces of my broken heart

Mistreated like some sort of ceremonial sacrifice

My hands are tied but I won't forfeit my life

Chorus:

Is there any hope left?

Is there an open door?

Please, I need to escape

I can't take it anymore

I thought I could be strong

But they said I was weak

What will it take to rise

Above this pain and suffering?

Verse 4:

Blood is thicker than water, I'm sure they have guessed

Caught up in this awful, heart-wrenching mess

I don't want to be alone, I just want to be free

My world was ended when they took her from me

Bridge:

I am done, I am gone

I must leave it all behind

This battle, though I won,

War has a different kind

At the end, I'm hoping

For a light I can see

It doesn't matter how

One day I will be free

2nd Chorus:

There has to be some hope left

Perhaps I'll find a door

I won't stop my escape

Until they're all atoned for

I don't need to be strong

If I know I'm not weak

And one day I will rise

Above this pain and suffering

Looking back, there's a lot of parts in this song that turned out really well. I'm curious--what do you guys think about it?
