Magellan Songsmith Lyrics

Songsmith Lyrics

A writer like a blacksmith-forging works of iron 
The jagged edges tempered into solid scripts for hire 
Solitary craftsman at his console merging audio discrete 
An ever changing soundscape sets the stage; the twains shall meet 
in a union strong 

Just like a working stiff 
He is a Songsmith 
In a strange synthesis 
"Restoration" announced 
It`s the new riffs that count (no mainstream bore playing 13/4...) 

Break out of silence-complete the curve 
The Songsmith maintaining his avant-garde nerve 
Innovation his palette-the urge and the test 
Adrenalin flowing, he can`t even rest unless- 
Harmonic elements and special fx 
conform to all his whims, an interpretive text 
But he`d sing for the masses if he just had the time 
with a vocal ideal and a long lyric line 
He is a Songsmith 

Break out of silence-complete the curve 
The Songsmith maintaining his avant-garde nerve 
Innovation his palette-the urge and the test 
Adrenalin flowing, he can`t even rest unless- 
Harmonic elements and special effects 

conform to all his whims, an interpretive text 
And he`d sing for the media if he had equal time 
with a vocal ideal and a long lyric line 
He is a Songsmith 
It`s not too late for the Songsmith 

The curtain opens for creativity 
Give a backseat role to conspiracy 
Hear the signature and the melody 
of the author flow in polyphony 
Will the writer last? 
Will his trade survive? 
In a world of commerce 
Can he hope to thrive? 
If his final sequence is not contrived 
Keep him honest now 
just to keep him alive 

We need the Songsmith...
