A song of a pack for a dead Wolf’s Rain RP (Paradise Continues) I was in, a member of the pack Silver Light sang it as they searched for a new home.

(Copyright=February 3, 2014)

________________________________________________​

Silver Light in the dark

Pack is family

Guarding and protecting all

This is our destiny.

Silver Light oh so bright

Shining in the dark

Light the way to paradise

Follow the Flower Maiden.

Lunar flowers light the way

Silver Light follow

On the road wolves will go

To a home of their own.

Silver Light Pack is here

Do not be afraid

We’ll protect the ones in hope

Until we reach the end road.

Paradise lies beyond

The road of lunar flowers

Wolves converge along the path

Until we reach our home.

 

[scorpiodragon]

This lullaby is something Taiyo sung to his sister Hotaru that was sung to him by their mother. It was for the same Wolf’s Rain RP forum I used to be part of that died in 2014.

_________________________________________________________________​

Little wolf go to sleep
I’ll be here for you
So, snuggle up next to me
I will always protect you.
Child of the moon
Child of the earth
You’re a hunter on the prowl.
Safety lies in the pack
Nobody can hurt you here
Don’t cry little child
The pack will always be here.
Swift of foot carries you
Across the ground
Blessed children of the moon
Raise your head and howl.
Symphony of harmony
Rings through the air
Within the pack you’ll be safe
Within the pack you’re home.
Children of the moon
Silent and deadly
Beware the man with the gun
For he is our enemy.
So, rest your weary head little one
I’ll be here to protect you always
Safety lies in the pack
Children of the moon.

 

[scorpiodragon]

This song was sun by Taiyo’s sister Hotaru as Silver Light left Dakota’s Pack with Yin and Yang, a pair of black and white twin she-wolves for the same dead Wolf’s Rain forum as Silver Light and Taiyo’s Lullaby. ©February 4, 2014.

Black and white

Yin and Yang

Two sides of the coin

Different and yet the same

Yin yin yang.

Life and death

Good and evil

Yang yang yin.

Light and dark

Polar opposites

Different yet the same

Yin yin yang!

Life and death

Swirl around like an endless hurricane

Never separate yet not whole

Yang yang yin.

Yin Yang

Yang Yin

Fight together or fight alone

Yin yin yang.

Heads or tails

In the air

Life and death

Yang yang yin.

Shadow and light

Light and shadow

Separate they die

Yet whole they survive

Yin yin yang.

Taoist philosophy

Spiritual connection

Fighting always for control

Never in harmony

Yang yang yin.

Life and death

Good and evil

Different yet the same

Yin yin yang.

Dark and light

Love and hate

Positive and negative

Always have each other’s backs

Yin yin yang. Yang yang yin!

I wrote this on November 13th 2019 in the early hours of the morning. There is no music and I cannot sing or do digital animation but here you go. I may try singing it eventually, though I do not believe I have a singing voice, but this is the first time that I have managed to write down a song before that I came up with in my head. See, I have been thinking of random verses since I was a teen but never write them down and usually am not able to recall them. I got three other original fnaf songs I'm writing but...well I'm not sure if I will attempt to sing them or not. I don't have a mic and I'm quiet so...yeah. I do want to get into SFM and animate this though eventually but I have never done animation before.

Painful Nightmare: An Original FNAF Song

V1: While the party began, one was doomed to death
The child with green like leaves on her wrist
Crying, she jumped up and down
Yet pulling up behind her was a devil in purple
Her painful nightmare began but we had no idea.
Pre-Chorus: She cried for help, but none was there to hear
Her protector was unable to save her
What have we done? If only we could turn back the clock
Yet she saved us in the end and gave us new life.
Chorus: They say actions have consequences yet how were we to know?
One little action
One little bout of fun
What a mistake that was
One closed door in the falling rain
A mistake that silenced her screams
We doomed ourselves but didn’t realize it at the time
Now we’re trapped in a painful nightmare.
V2: Amidst the tears and the rain, he pulled up and she turned
A smile on her face that changed to fear
She knew his name, yet he betrayed her
Mania in his eyes and etched upon his face
A scream that tore asunder, now we have doomed ourselves
Why did it turn out this way?
Now we’re trapped in a painful nightmare
Now our story truly begins.
Pre-Chorus: She cried for help, but none was there to hear
Her protector was unable to save her
What have we done? If only we could turn back the clock
Yet she saved us in the end and gave us new life.
Chorus: They say actions have consequences yet how were we to know?
One little action
One little bout of fun
What a mistake that was
One closed door in the falling rain
A mistake that silenced her screams
We doomed ourselves but didn’t realize it at the time
Now we’re trapped in a painful nightmare.
V3: With a great struggle it tried to save her
But the rain doomed her to her fate
Shortened out, it failed in its job
Tried so hard and left to crawl
She died a slow death
When it collapsed on her a terrible thing was born
Now we suffer in a painful nightmare.
Pre-Chorus: She cried for help, but none was there to hear
Her protector was unable to save her
What have we done? If only we could turn back the clock
Yet she saved us in the end and gave us new life.
Chorus: They say actions have consequences yet how were we to know?
One little action
One little bout of fun
What a mistake that was
One closed door in the falling rain
A mistake that silenced her screams
We doomed ourselves but didn’t realize it at the time
Now we’re trapped in a painful nightmare.
V4: We were just children playing pretend
It was meant to be a night of fun but in the end
In the end six souls lost their lives
We trusted him, thought nothing of it
When he said to follow, how could we know
Now our painful nightmare has begun.
So, listen to our sad story.
V5: Here we are, yet why can’t you see
Why don’t you hear our cries as we begin our suffering?
Where were you?
How could you let us go?
We try to reach out, yet none hears our cries
Oh God what we have done?
Is this her retribution?
Pre-Chorus: She cried for help, but none was there to hear
Her protector was unable to save her
What have we done? If only we could turn back the clock
Yet she saved us in the end and gave us new life.
Chorus: They say actions have consequences yet how were we to know?
One little action
One little bout of fun
What a mistake that was
One closed door in the falling rain
A mistake that silenced her screams
We doomed ourselves but didn’t realize it at the time
Now we’re trapped in a painful nightmare.
V6: Is this our fault?
Why did it have to end?
Please let us turn back the clock and do it over again.
But none hears our painful cries
Now our nightmare has begun.
V7: I want to reach out, to say goodbye
We want a chance to do things over
But the clocks stop with our last breath
Shutting down, the Puppet saved us
But we don’t why
Stuffed in these suits and left to rot
Our souls now inhabit empty shells
Now we’re trapped in a painful nightmare.
Pre-Chorus: She cried for help, but none was there to hear
Her protector was unable to save her
What have we done? If only we could turn back the clock
Yet she saved us in the end and gave us new life.
Verse 8: Is this our fate for our mistake?
Why can’t you hear?
Why can’t you see?
We are here, trapped within and heartbeats fading
Don’t leave us here
Trapped in this nightmare
No don’t leave us
In this painful nightmare.
Chorus: They say actions have consequences yet how were we to know?
One little action
One little bout of fun
What a mistake that was
One closed door in the falling rain
A mistake that silenced her screams
We doomed ourselves but didn’t realize it at the time
Now we’re trapped in a painful nightmare

A song I wrote that was sung by the dragon riders of old for Post IC AU on a now dead Inheritance Cycle forum on fanfiction.net. It was a spur of the moment thing.

The song was taught to the riders’ of old and only two riders know of it, an elf rider named Maradik (a riderless rider who was a friend of my character Shenzi and belonged to an RP’er named Luck) who was in hiding for a century and a garnet rider named Shenzi Blackthorn; once a student of the elf rider Thuviel and then believed dead by the Order when Shenzi and his garnet Nova were kidnapped by Morzan and his terror beast.

Bonded through an ancient spell

Hearts, minds and soul are joined

Oaths of protection we have sworn

To serve the land and the people.

Soaring over the land and sea

Through the air a rainbow of multi-colored scales

Wings flapping in the breeze

The Dragon Riders are here.

Duty calls, duty calls

We will search the land

For enemies and help the poor

This is our stand.

Loyal to the Order

Loyal to each other

Riders take up your swords

Dragons answer the call.

Through heart and mind and spirit

We are joined as one

This is our duty

To help those in need.

Roars sound throughout the air

Sky lizards roam the land

Riders come at beck and call

The time of the riders is here.

Ancient magic we have shaped

Fangs and claws shine brightly

Beneath the sun and the moon

A rider’s work is never done.

Hear the call, hear the call

Sound throughout the land

Join together, join together

To help our fellow kin.

Take up the sword and the mantle

Take up the duty of the oaths you swore

Armor yourself against the arrow

Dragons let loose your fury.

Riders fly throughout the land

Aiding your fellow man

Strike the enemy down when found

Let justice ring throughout the land.

Rider and dragon merge your minds

Merge your hearts and your souls

Protect the gem within the sky

The gem of wisdom is doomed if it falls.

So, hear the call, hear the call

Prepare yourselves for a fight

Join together, join together

The riders are here to stay.

Hear the roars in the sky

See the blades flashing

Years and years of training

To become peace keepers of the land.

So, smite thine enemies where they stand

Embrace the call of the people

To fight for justice is our cause

The riders are here to stay.

A rider’s job is never done

Training that lasts an immortal lifetime

Hear the shouts, hear the roars

Immortal ones live to serve.

Join together, join together

Hear the call of the people

Step up to your duty

The riders are here to stay.

Hear the call, hear the call

Join together, join together

With tooth and claw and blade

The Dragon Riders will fly again.

Cannot remember when this was written. Sometime in the mid 2000s to early 2010s I think.

Through the night and through the dawn

In my bed

In my dreams

Fire erupting before my eyes

In a land of shattered lives.

Twisted stunted trees all around

Broken bodies on the ground

Lightning flashes through the air

Causing sheer unwilling despair.

Corruption and hatred

Lies in the air mixed with despair

Turn these once happy beings

Into shattered lives and shattered glass.

This land is filled with lost souls

Cold and dead

Filled with sorrow

Gives me great pain.

Then a light comes from the sky

Warming the land and lives

Bringing happiness back to them

That was gone for too long.

Praising God in all his glory

In the light hope is given back to them

Turning their lives into pure joy

A land of shattered lives no more.

This poem was written as an adult. © 2008

__________________________

Little children are crying

Mothers and fathers are hopeless to help

The cries grow louder and louder

The world is crying out for help.



Bombs rain down

Upon the countries of the world

Famine strangles all in her grasp

Death has come at last.



Blood is flowing

Flowing through the hills

Rubble lays strewn on the ground

And the voices fade away as death takes his fill.



Jails are overcrowded

The innocents of a corrupt system

Abused by guards and abused by lies

Nobody stops to listen.



Children are taken from their parents’ side

Due to a false allegation of crime

Abuse in the system is rampart

Yet nobody steps up to defend them.



Families ripped apart

By lies and deceit

Children forever scarred and lost to all

The happiness they knew is gone.



Inhuman justice abounds through the world

Corrupt leaders and misguided supporters

Kill the ones who are fighting to live

Freedom must come at a cost.



What is this cost that burdens the world?

As people are fighting for their lives and homes

The world fails to see, the world fails to hear

And the people continue dying.



The cries of the terrified in their beds

The cries of the loved ones who must somehow go on

All are mixed with the blood and tears

Of nations the world would rather forget.



Abuse by the guards is rampart

Torture and rape are all that is known

To get the victims to sign a confession

Snuffing the light of the fighter out.



Biased judges and lawyers

Planting evidence if they have none

Innocents are thrown in jail

Doomed to die behind the bars.



And the screams of the parents

The cries of the children

Are ignored by the masses

For they don't matter at all.



Bloody coups to overthrow dictators

People in power have their allies

That kill the masses to keep their seat

A seat of death and misery.



Do they think they won't be judged one day?

Do they think the victims won't tell God?

Only the power to kill and torture

That is all they want.



For the lives are being shattered

And hope is fading fast

The people are dying and they are crying

And the world fails to act.



See the little orphan girl

Who must prostitute herself to survive?

Or do you not hear her screams of anguish?

Is her blood only a mirage?



Her broken body lies in the gutter

Blood is staining the ground

This little princess has been forgotten

Her death will most surely be ignored.



Or the boy who wanders the streets

Joining a gang to survive

For his family has been killed and he must search

Living a life of crime for protection from harm.



Parents and children are digging for food

Walking the streets with gaunt faces

For the country has put a limit on food

And most families won't survive.



Or the mother who travels in Africa

Fleeing war and destruction of her home

Must make the choice of horror

Which child shall she abandon to die?

And which child will she take with her?



Disease is rampart

It is taking lives

People are falling down

And death will have his fill.



People wiped out by disease and war

Untouchables and lepers of society

Genocide of the people survives

In this cruel and tainted world.



The darkness is closing in

Around the forgotten nations

Where blood and death are part of life

The nations that are ignored by all.



Parents selling their children

For just one morsel of food

Or killed at the hands of their mothers

For being the unwanted sex.



Culture that is cruel

Takes preference over sanity

The children are dying and they are crying

Doomed to a life of misery.



Babies are born in poverty

People dying in war

Houses ridden with bombs and rockets

Lives are being shut off.



Horror upon horror

Desensitizes the people

In shock they will live and in shock they will die

For nobody hears their cries.



People convicted of molestation

Are raped and killed in the jails

Yet if they are innocent nobody cares

So the injustice of their time continues.



The little child who is left to die

In the outside world

As the sand is poured on top of them

The fear they feel at the hands of their parents is surely the most inhumane crime.



Or the children of old

Who were sacrificed

To appease the Gods

Their blood has been forgotten by all.



Nations and people are crying for help

Yet their cries fall on deaf ears

For the people in power are many and cruel

And they will fade into shadow.



Chemical Agents are being dropped on these poor souls

Disfiguring the people and the future generations

Causing cancer and blindness

The crippled people must try to live.



The children are crying

Parents are screaming

And the world fails to see or act

Death will soon have his fill.​

Did this as an teen. Not sure of the year I first wrote this, probably between 2005-2006. ​

In a month of Sundays

I sit staring up at the Heavens

Wondering what lies beyond this world

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.

Hearing children laughing

Running through fields and streams

Barking dogs seldom bite

In a month of Sundays.

Hazy mists press upon thine eyes

Breathing quickens in fear

I see God sitting high in the clouds

In a month of Sundays.

Angels praising Him

Respectful to their Creator

Watching the people down below

Gazing into my soul.

Falling onto my hands and knees before my Lord

I know I am being judged

Comforting words make me glance up

Surrounded in a brilliant light

Angels praising the Creator of the universe

In a month of Sundays.

 

[scorpiodragon]

The time for school is ending
My new freedom is here
I’m glad I won’t be here next year
Yet sad because my teachers will never have me near.
Hectic lives I have seen
People I know will leave
Our lives here entwined
Now broken and gone.
How to tread this path
How to succeed in this life
When so many have failed
This is harder than I expected.
Drugs and guns
Sex and lives
So many influences
Too many lives.
Our time here is spent
So let us leave this life
And start another.
Hopefully we’ll remember
Our times together
And one day reunite
In hopes of seeing
Each other again.

Dedicated to the senior class of Excel Academy 2005

Excel Academy, now Eagle Wings Academy, was a private K-12 school. It had children with dyslexia, anger issues, learning disabilities and basically were the throwaway kids that the schools in Central Ohio didn't want to deal with anymore. The kids that were suspended and expelled, at least I was expelled in 9th grade. I went there for three years and graduated as Salutatorian in 11th grade with a high school diploma. This poem was written for the senior class of 2005 and published in our school newspaper of which I was a part of.

 

[scorpiodragon]

I wrote this story back in high school when I was 17, so around 2005. I was actually interviewed by a reporter from the Newark Advocate and had my picture taken plus the poem printed alongside the article.

---

The land of the beautiful

Is as green as the sea

The land of the brave

Is so very free.

We fight for the right to express our freedom

Even though war may shatter our gallant land

We will unite under God and win this fight

The fight for freedom.

On 9/11 our country was shattered

But we came together as one

We will fight for our freedom tonight.

As the bombs shatter the Middle East

We watch with pride as our soldiers gladly fall for our freedom

Our glorious freedom.

Bullets fly through the air and the soldiers gladly fall

This is our country

This is our plight

So under God we will unite

We will win this fight.

A little haiku. I rarely write haiku as I am not comfortable with them. Wrote this sometime in my 20s I believe.

Swirling colors fall

Littering the forest floor

Crunching under feet.

 

[scorpiodragon]

A poem I wrote in 8th grade English for a poetry book assignment. Copyright is 2001 and this poem was also published in Silent Stalker so copyright there of 2007.

---

A jagged line like a Z
Flashing every ten minutes.
White light in the sky
Setting fire to trees and houses
Giving the sky an eerie glow
Lightning isn’t for me.​

 

[scorpiodragon]

A poem I wrote for my poetry book for English class in 2001. Also published in Silent Stalker in 2007.

---

Perched atop a tree overlooking the water
Symbol of freedom since 1783
DDT nearly wiped them out
Used in ancient ceremonies.
Swooping down on the fish below
Talons crushing the head
Beak ripping the flesh and meat from the bones
The oldest chick survives to have its own brood
Symbol of freedom
Flying so free.​

 

[scorpiodragon]

I wrote this sometime before covid so maybe in 2018-2019. Not sure exactly of the date I wrote this.​

Life and death go hand in hand

Like the night and day

When one road stops another begins

Little do we know?

This life abounds with pain and fear

Bloodshed soaks the ground

Death upon death is all that is known

Silencing this once happy day.

Gunshots and cries from hidden shadows

Darkness wounds all around the little village

Cowering under thy blankets

Seeking to end this horror.

Never will thy see another sunrise

Never will thy see thy loved ones alive

For death has come upon the wings of flight

Silencing all it touches.

Cries of the down trodden and oppressed

Yet the world turns their eyes away

This little village of hopeless souls

Will never rise again.

Thy little child cries from the darkness

For the mother he has lost

Wandering from home to home

As blood covers thy feet.

Slaughter upon slaughter

The silence is unbearable

A graveyard of broken bodies and lives

Fires erupting and smoldering little homes to ash.

Rain falls onto the ground

Wind swirls through the burned trees

Still the fires rage on

Destroying thy little home.

Though thee may never see the wisdom of such a journey

It is one that we shall endure one day

And blood shall soak the ground

Where all once stood and prayed.

 

[scorpiodragon]

A Young Life was written the day after my 9th grade teacher’s, Mrs. Drumm, son died. Copyright: 2003​

---

A young life is torn from my side

Why did God choose you to die?

So young, not even having a chance

To say goodbye.

I wonder in the days gone by

Why you were taken so quickly from this world

It shatters my heart to see you gone

Taking a part of me with you

Tearing my soul apart.

We will remember your smiling face

It gave me the courage to be strong

Not having a chance in this world

Nor a chance to say goodbye.

I hope you’re happy in Heaven

Someday you’ll be reunited with your family again

I believe you had so much to offer this world

Alas we’ll never know.

We’ll remember you in our hearts Christian

I hope you’re happy.

Dusk comes slowly from the dawn

Never knowing where it belongs

Shadows looming from the dark

Hunters rising from the dawn.

Quiet breezes ruffle your hair

Always scared

Always alone and full of fear.

Dawn hunters hunt the weak

Keeping the monsters of the world in check

Keeping the people safe from harm

Lock the monsters up and throw away the key.

Chills so cold it kills my spine

Winter nights chill my mind

Cold chills make me shiver with fear

Till the cries of the dawn hunters loom near.

The chase begins in the dark

Running through alleys and hidden streets

Faster and faster the chase grows

Faster and faster the hunters’ hearts beat

Throw away the cloak of darkness

Bring out the ropes of wire and the knives

Kill the monsters that hurt the people of the world.

Dusk comes slowly from the dawn

Never knowing where it belongs

Shadows looming from the dark

Hunters rising from the dawn.

I am not sure exactly when I wrote this but it might have been in my early 30s or late 20s.​

​

The sun and moon follow each other

Through the seasons and through the years

The moon pulling the oceans of Earth

While the sun gives life’s warmth and rays.



Like this sequence that I have foretold

So do death and life follow one another?

For time is nothing but a shadow

A simple dream in space.



What is time?

What is life?

Why struggle to live at all when you are doomed to die?

What cruel cycle plays on the mind?



Yin and Yang

Push and pull

Nothing matters in the end

Nothing matters at all.



Bearing upon the world

Climates that vary drastically

Slowly we are moving forward

Destruction will soon be our downfall.



Soon we will be no more

Nothing on Earth will stir

For life is quickly fading away

All at man’s destruction and design.

 

[scorpiodragon]

Sing pretty bird

Sing for me

A little song

A little tune.



Wings as white as snow

Flying so high above the clouds

An olive branch is in thy beak

A sign that all is well.



Symbol of peace

Symbol of flight

I want to hold you in my arms

And watch you fly into the night.



Doves are singing

Doves are flying

Into the sky

Into the world.



Seeing things we don't see

Knowing things that we don't

What places did you see?

On your big journey?



Did you see a rainbow?

Did you see the sea?

Where do you lay your head?

I wish I could be as free.



Doves, sweet doves

How I wish I was one

Then I could fly upon the sky

A dove I would be.



Doves abound all over

Doves fall into the sea

Chirping so loud into the sun

A messenger for the people.

 

[scorpiodragon]

D is for desires that unfold when you’re asleep.

R is for the reality of the world when you awake.

E is for emeralds that litter the roads of the mind.

A is for angels that show you the way.

M is for midnight black phoenixes that burst into flames as light shines through the window.

S is for the sadness when the dream fades away.
