Hopeless Fight

And this is the last piece for that class! It was a free choice and I was wanting to compose something choral for a while. I wrote the lyrics and wasted time recording myself singing, but uh… yeah that’s not ever seeing the light of day. I added a lot of dissonance and complex chords to add some flavor to the sound. I don’t entirely know what I was doing, but I think it turned out good. Thanks for listening to my high school composition series!

Here’s the lyrics:
The dark
Ruins in the dark
The dark
Ruins in the dark
The waters murky
Faces were dirty
Oh, how the brave crash down
Into the ruined structure
March through hell into our demise (Follow me and hold my hand. I will never let go)
Your sacrifice means little now (your sacrifices)
Come with me (Ooh)
Do not fear
And you will be
With those who were dear
Come with me (Go to the light)
Do not fear
And you will be
With those who were dear
Come with me (Go to the light) (Melancholy thoughts as my body rots)
Do not fear
And you will be
With those who were dear
The bloody towers
Wind blows for hours
And where will we end up
But in a shallow grave?
The dark
Please take me home
The dark
There’s no place to call home
