Lyrics

A Soul Once On Fire

Wedding bells rang
As police broke the news
Said they were sorry
There was nothing they could do

She kept to herself
From that day on
She couldn't accept
That he was gone

Pre-Chorus:
A tear-stained gown hangs
Lonely in the dark
The man of her dreams
Tore from her heart

Chorus:
A soul once on fire
No longer glowed
A soul once on fire
Had turned into coal
The world took her love
and emotional desire
Made a shell of
A soul once on fire

The wind carried her cries
To the dark side of the moon
Aching for the man who
Should have been her groom

She'll never love again
Like she had at one time
This vow she had made
As long as she was alive

Pre-Chorus:
A tear-stained gown hangs
Lonely in the dark
The man of her dreams
Tore from her heart

Chorus: Repeat

Bridge:
All dressed in white
By his headstone she kneels
Slams her fists to the ground
Wishing this wasn't real
A pill jar falls by her side
She whispers, "Here comes your bride"

Chorus: Repeat

Good song, instrumental's were great.

The hook is not really sustaining the sadness of the song. I love sad songs. Very interesting arrangement.

very good potential, interesting and non-conventional chord structure that i like allot. the melody and harmony work very well together, like the guitar work and fiddle.
