FAWM: "Invincible"

Invincible

Skirmish: The Villain's Lament (@tarahenton)

Liner Notes

Lyrics

I’m here within this prison cell Condemned into a private hell
But there’s no cell that can hold me I will escape I will be free
Soon I will be invincible

A trivial loss I will forget There is nothing that I regret
No hero born who wears a cape can stop my certain sure escape
I know my shape - invincible

I will not cry alas alack I will ignore this small setback
And though I stare at these four walls I’ll soon escape these prison halls
My glory calls- invincible

I and my glory soon will meet I suffer temp’rory defeat
I lust for power, lust for fame I have nobody else to blame
I feel no shame- invincible

I'm loving the juxtaposition of the naturally sunny sound of the uke with the subject matter. Like the defiance too. Some super rhymes here. Excellent work! 😃

Ahhhhhh hello friend! So good to see you back! I always look forward to hearing your delectable rhymes and sweet, sweet strumming whenever this site goes online. Thanks for another great tune!

The villain was almost too confident to be lamenting! But I love the imagery and his tenacity. And you reminded me that I'm missing #fuc!

Great take on the prompt. Love the internal rhymes. And a Uke song for Play your ukulele day.

A villain chasing invincibility sounds dangerous. Good writing and nice use of a diminished chord (?) as a part of the tune structure!

This is a very cool song. I see it was written for a skirmish, and I wasn't part of that. I clicked on the song because I was going to write a song under this title this FAWM and wanted to hear another take on it. It's a great use of the lyrics to characterize the villainous narrator. Also a nice performance. I enjoyed it.
