Minus One

I'm supposed to be working on Parallels 2 right now, but my inspiration has been drawn to something else. This is called In My Arms.

Remembering days long past

When you were in my arms

A smile crept across my face

But now that smile's gone

A touch that was so comforting

Your eyes so full of charm

I would do just anything

To be back in your arms

You bring brightness to my day

Despite a world of black

Don't know why I let you fade

I know I want you back

Wondering why you aren't here

A hurt that I can't take

I just want to hear you say

Listen, it's not too late

Crappy quality with vocals (video)

Good quality with bass line and no vocals

Well, the ghost is a white man. In fact, everyone on this site has heard of him.

Title: Ghost of the Force

Rating: PG

Rated for: Mild use of explicit language, fantasy violence

Critique level: Encouraged

I'm not far enough in to post a chapter, but I do have a teaser. Readers of my previous works should enjoy this. This will be posted sometime this summer.

• Voice-Over: The galaxy has reached a new age...

Lorus: The peoples of this Republic have enjoyed a peace never known in the time of the Jedi Knights.

VO: An age of freedom...

Lorus: Never again will our sons and daughters be stolen from us to fight wars of the Force! Today is the day we remember those lost, and honor the downfall of ALL Force Users. Not just Jedi and Sith...

VO: An age coming to an end...

Lorus grasped at his throat and floated in the air before asphyxiating to death.

VO: I have returned from the netherworld to haunt your dreams, as mine once were...

Reporter: Prime Minister Lorus Balthier was killed during his yearly Remembrance Day speech, seemingly by the whim of the Force.

VO: I can grant you powers unlimited...

An orange lightsaber deflected blaster fire into the crowd.

VO: The Force will never be extinguished from the mortal world.

A cloaked figure slowly raised his hands, crumbling skyscrapers

”œThe limitless power of the Force... answerable only to me.”

Up next is a concept album I'm working on. Existence starts out as nothingness, called the Infinite. The Infinite inexplicably fractures into three: the light (Amaron), the darkness, (Zaros), and consciousness, giving everything in existence awareness. Zaros can't see without his brother's help and becomes angered by his dependence. He wishes to rather not exist at all, and wants to re-unite the Infinite. Amaron wishes to continue to exist and transforms himself into the realms and creates the Weave; an armor to protect himself. The humans of these worlds are effected by consciousness as well and soon divide into two factions: evil (those who want the destruction of the worlds and the reunion of the Infinite) and good (protectors of the realm and followers of Amaron)

The Infinite

Stumbling in darkness

Brother can see

Crawling in circles

No light for me

Infinite fracture

Void is in three

Jealousy raging

Time isn't free

Fracture giveth life

Brother's cries go unheard

I am the Great Divide

Brother of darkness

One born to light

And one to reason,

Make the two fight

I am the Great Divide

Spiderweb glass

Shatter, shatter.

I break to pieces

Faster, faster.

Dominoes falling

Forever collapsing

Darkness is biting

Wake from my sleep

The worlds and the stars

Weave protecting

Infinite fracture

Lands and the seas

Glorious rapture

All that I breathe

Gods walking backwards

The Weave ever spans

No thought of hardship

No need to feel bad

The son of our makers

We're all that's left

We are the takers

Of our masters' hands

Disciples of the Fracture

We are the knights of peace, guardians of the free

There will be no reunion

People give us grief, dangers they can't see

Protect the heart of Amaron

The Infinite has died

Our god has had his time

Disciples of the Fracture

We will not divide

Our own are out of line, it must be a sign

There will be no reunion

We're a dying kind, shatter space and time

We have made the decision

Believe in what we say, blind trust in The Way

There will be no reunion

Crisis of your faith, the danger is away

Can't undo what has been done.

You can listen to a demo of the second song here: http://profile.ultimate-guitar.com/zerodiablos/music/all/play627466

An update!? I have to re-read a bit so I remember what's going on, then I'll critique!

No, my pick slipped out of my hand and flew into the opening on my guitar. And yes.

My pick flies into the guitar at the end so it's cut off a little.

I've posted a ton of lyrics before, but now you guys can actually hear a song I've wrote. Be warned though: I can't sing.

I just got done recording a demo of the music I wrote to go along with this. Audacity, however, decided it wasn't gonna pick up my lows and I had to up the bass to compensate.

I think I mess up the F a couple times...

Thanks Ami I had 'inspiration'.

I wrote an acoustic bit for it, but my guitarist read it too and said he had riffs immediately, so I haven't recorded anything. If you'd like to hear my guitar stuff, check out the website link on my profile.

Living on clouds, my head's in the sky

Feeling myself, slipping too high

Wanting to laugh or wanting to cry

Wanting to run and wanting to smile

Trying to think, my thoughts turn to fog

Trying my best, to express in a song

Something with feeling, something that's real

Trying to best, the feelings I feel

Something feels wrong... but something feels right

Some days I can't seem to sleep through the night

I wonder all hours, ”œShould I get in the race?”

Chapter 16

”œThe blast will destroy this city and the ring. Not a very original plan, but we know it'll work.”

I thought it was great.

Chapter 15

”œMy Lord, your superluminal drive has been completed.”

Heh, I got the strangest urge for a James Bond reference. I've done blatant Highlander references before.

Well, Master Chief never was too big on talking. Korbin/Bellicose acted so early because of a yet-to-be-named disturbance in the Force.

Chapter 14

”œBut a premature firing will destroy the Ark!”

But I don't like letting people know it's a cross-over. It ruins plot-twists!

Chapter 13

/ This facility was designed for study. \>>

/ It was designed as a prototype, in the event drastic measures were needed. However, it is prepared to fulfill the duty shared by it's predecessors. \>>

”œWell, that answers one question.”

Wow, two updates? Mercy me.

Will Anakin meet up with Obi-Wan perhaps?

Seeing as how tomorrow (the 25th) is the anniversary of Halo 3, I have a special chapter for you all!

Chapter 12

To'sa stood in a defensive stance across the room from Throlik. ”œI may be a scientist, but I do have my battle armor. Your Force powers will be useless against me.”

I felt like I was reading one of MY stories that update was so short! I think Yoda is thinking "opposites, so dark is good." I think he's mistaken if he wants the dark side to win in the alternate reality, as the Jedi seem good-natured.

Chapter 11

The Prophet of Objection appeared from the darkness of the makeshift stage in the room and addressed the assembled members of the Covenant.

”œMy children, we have been left in a bleak, dark place. Truth's trust in the Elites and the appointment of an Arbiter became our downfall. Now we sit in the cold; a hell for all eternity.

"Truth's overzealous actions have brought upon the destruction of the Holy Rings, and denied us all from partaking in the Great Journey.”

They are. I refer to her as Mistress Kalib to avoid confusion with Drace.

Chapter 10

Throlik was now under the ice, surveying the structure that his men had been excavating. ”œWhat a glorious piece of technology. It almost looks like a weapon.”
