: Poetry Set to Music

Song Sample:

Song Backstory:

I composed this song and first recorded the demo in 1987. I re-orchestrated it in 2026, but it needed lyrics.  

One of my friend Riina's poems, "Prophecies Coming Alive", from her book of poetry, Spirit Verses, is about the time after the Final Battle. The light has won; the Earth and its peoples have been freed from the darkness.

Once again, the poem's words fit right into the song perfectly, and the music fits the poem.

Lyrics:

Prophecies coming alive
Christ redeemer crowned with light
Intersection in time
Stairway to heaven
The light has won
Flooding these lands

Parting the sea of death
Carriage of gold
Silver wheels
Journey of the soul
Under the new star
guiding us home

Failed attempts of destruction
(Enemy’s plans fading)
(Enemy’s plans fading)

Soul revival
(soul revival)
Anointment with oil
Joy everlasting
(joy everlasting)
