Magellan - Songsmith lyrics

A writer like a blacksmith-forging works of iron The jagged edges tempered into solid scripts for hire Solitary craftsman at his console merging audio discrete An ever changing soundscape sets the stage; The twains shall meet in a union strong Just like a working stiff He is a Songsmith In a strange synthesis "Restoration" announced It's the new riffs that count (no mainstream bore playing 13/4...) Break out of silence-complete the curve The Songsmith maintaining his avant-garde nerve Innovation his palette-the urge and the test Adrenalin flowing, he can't even rest unless- Harmonic elements and special fix Conform to all his whims, an interpretive text But he'd sing for the ma**es if he just had the time With a vocal ideal and a long lyric line He is a Songsmith Break out of silence-complete the curve The Songsmith maintaining his avant-garde nerve Innovation his palette-the urge and the test Adrenalin flowing, he can't even rest unless- Harmonic elements and special effects Conform to all his whims, an interpretive text And he'd sing for the media if he had equal time With a vocal ideal and a long lyric line He is a Songsmith It's not too late for the Songsmith The curtain opens for creativity Give a backseat role to conspiracy Hear the signature and the melody Of the author flow in polyphony Will the writer last? Will his trade survive? In a world of commerce Can he hope to thrive? If his final sequence is not contrived Keep him honest now Just to keep him alive We need the Songsmith...
