Banshee (It Never Ends)

Liner Notes

These are some old words that I had in a previous FAWM. I always loved the words but was never really happy with the treatment I gave them. and it nags you; not dramatic enough but I think this version really nails it.

The banshee is a supernatural creature thought to appear before there is a death in a village. She combs her hail and wails mournfully.

The topic being a Celtic supernatural creature really needed a Celtic rock feel

Lyrics

I was born stealing thunder
From the eye of the hurricane
Never asking for quarter
And none was ever gained

When you’re born to fight your way
Through a world of sweat and tears
The fear is like a vampire stranger
Sucking on your tears

And oh how we try to break those walls right down
Bricks and mortar made from blood and tears from the poor side of town.
Try as you might, you cannot get away
Strength of purpose is not enough to win out on this day

It never ends
Until the Banshee sings
Her fearful song about dark portentous things.
When you hear her voice you’re on your way
Never to return, nothing left to say (in this world)

Escaping from the land
Trying to run free
Break the chains that bind me
See what I’m about to be

When the journey’s over
And you reach the promised land
We can build a new Jerusalem
Hand in loving hand

And oh how we try to break those walls right down
Bricks and mortar made from blood and tears from the poor side of town.
Try as you might, you cannot get away
Strength of purpose is not enough to win out on this day

It never ends
Until the Banshee sings
Her fearful song about dark portentous things.
When you hear her voice you’re on your way
Never to return, nothing left to say (in this world)
