Hey Ive been toying around with this for a couple of days, I figured I might as well come to my community for help.
"nameless"
Im stuck at the moment as to what direction I should take with the lyrics. The song itself is based around the pictures of the 7 buddhist monk's who
set themselves on fire in Saigon to bring the world's attention to the injustice being enforced on the people by the Diem regime (South Vietnam
before the war, just in case your not up on history.)
Verse.
-See that nameless face burning out like a star
-That young man could have gone so far
-And the silent crowd
-Just watches and stares
-Its just one more life burning into the air
Chorus.
-Look at the old fool
-Starting to burn
-Seeking attention
-From the world
-And if you cant see ?
-Then your the fool ?
- ?
Verse.
-As this world watched you go up in flames
-We have forgotten
-Just why you came
-Never stopped to mourn
-Never questioned why
-I still dont remember seeing anyone cry
Chorus.
-You poor old sod,
-I hope you can hear
-With your smiling face
-And your gentle ear ?
-you have taught me so much ?
- ?
- ?
still having troubles coming up with a bridge or verse that is common throughout the song.
