Magellan - Songsmith Lyrics
A writer like a blacksmith-forging works of ironThe jagged edges tempered into solid scripts for hireSolitary craftsman at his console merging audio discreteAn ever changing soundscape sets the stage; the twains shall meetIn a union strongJust like a working stiffHe is a songsmithIn a strange synthesisRestoration announcedIts the new riffs that count (no mainstream bore playing 13/4...)Break out of silence-complete the curveThe songsmith maintaining his avant-garde nerveInnovation his palette-the urge and the testAdrenalin flowing, he cant even rest unless-Harmonic elements and special fxConform to all his whims, an interpretive textBut hed sing for the masses if he just had the timeWith a vocal ideal and a long lyric lineHe is a songsmithBreak out of silence-complete the curveThe songsmith maintaining his avant-garde nerveInnovation his palette-the urge and the testAdrenalin flowing, he cant even rest unless-Harmonic elements and special effectsConform to all his whims, an interpretive textAnd hed sing for the media if he had equal timeWith a vocal ideal and a long lyric lineHe is a songsmithIts not too late for the songsmithThe curtain opens for creativityGive a backseat role to conspiracyHear the signature and the melodyOf the author flow in polyphonyWill the writer last?Will his trade survive?In a world of commerceCan he hope to thrive?If his final sequence is not contrivedKeep him honest nowJust to keep him aliveWe need the songsmith...
