In keeping with the forum guidelines I'll explain a little bit about this piece.
I play the part of a human bard in a interactive fantasy novel. I wrote this piece as a song that the bard sings to a female human monk. She had lost her memory and has no idea from whence she came.
It's a fairly simple song. It came to me naturally, as if I was actually the bard. The bard is supposed to play a citole which is probably a lot closer to a mandolin. However, I wrote this piece using the only bottom for strings on a guitar. I believe a citole only had three sets of 2-strings each, but I'm not concerned with duplicating the instrument.
In any case, I'm not good with music theory. I just started with Bm and when where the song felt like going.
I'll try to post the chords with the lyrics in a code box shortly. In the meantime I just say that it basically uses;
Bm G Bm Am A(sus2)
It also uses the following;
C#m A C#m Bm Am A(sus2)
And that's it.
Here are the lyrics. The link to the sound file is at the bottom of the page.
Who Are You?
I feel you
Like starlight shining on my soul
You touch me
In ways that I’ve never known before
I know you
From dreams that I’ve dreamed many lives ago
~~~
Who are you?
~
Somewhere in your heart
You must have some feelings for me as well
I know, you know me
Don’t try to tell me that it isn’t so
~~~
Who are you?
~
Cherubs are flying
in search of the secrets of love divine
Demons are slaying
with dragons that spew mortal flames of time
You are an Island
adrift in the sea of eternal life
~~~
Who are you
~
Time can’t hide you
for time is nothing more than a mere façade
Life can’t blind you
from the love that I hold for you deep inside
Someday you’ll know
the feelings I have for you within my heart
~~~
I know who you are
~
