2nd try for reddits song-a-week community. week 13. theme: reverse

what is reversed? 
some kicks, snares and hats
piano hits
aaaand the backing voice in the chorus. kinda. it's actually sung backwards and I wanted to reverse it for the last chorus (guitar solo) so it sounds "normal" but it didn't really work ^^ so I guess the backing lyrics are written in reverse, thats it. and reversed for the guitar part.

enjoy and like it or not

cheers

I Tried

Trying to catch a glimpse of your smile
Trying to steal another kiss
Trying to hold on for a while
Can’t believe it ends like this

Oh, And I still… try to be strong
And though I still… keep moving onward
And though I still… weep when I’m alone 
I still remember you on a throne 

Looking for a sign from above
That I know you remember me
Nothing could outshine our love
From the sea to shining sea

Oh and I still... try and be strong
And though I still… keep moving onward
And though I still… weep when I’m alone 
I still remember you on a throne

And though I still… try and be strong
And though I still… keep moving onward
And though I still… weep when I’m alone 
I still remember you on a throne
Always remember you upon a throne
Always remember you upon a throne
I’ll always remember you upon a throne

Inspired by the wikipedia entry for Ruse de Guerre

Patroclus said:
Achilles I just can't stand by
While the Trojans rain fire and you're choosing to stand aside
If you won't fight, gift me your armor, I'll take your place in stride
You're not being yourself, from the grey sea with cliffs high

Dressed as you, I will lead your troops in glory, the enemy ignoring who might be hidden underneath
They'll be fools, we'll carefully plan this ruse,  we'll push them back until they choose to surrender (and no further!)

Battle's begun
The Trojans run
Forward until they see the armor
Engulfed in bronze , A man too strong
Greece's best warrior?
A simple trick, it will be quick, it will be simple
Time to attack, the die is cast
We'll push them back

They tell Achilles later
All was going well, the war was raging and  your Patroclus was like a spell
Dispelling all the notions of worry from his other men. 
Following your orders, there's never been a better man
They reach the walls, and then he has the gall
To try to crawl over it, so he can descend on the Trojan as he falls
He strikes forward, once, twice, thrice but the fourth he's cut down
He meets the end of a spear, and there's no getting up from the ground

The battle's done
It seems we won
But Achilles lost his lover
Say what's become-,what's going on with
Greece's best warrior?
A simple trick, should've been quick, should've been simple?
It's all a mess, the die was cast
There's no going back

Achilles in a rage, he cannot stand that one would take
Away his lover in such a cruel and shameless way 
If only Patroclus had listened if only he'd given 
a second thought to caution, wasn't that an option? 
He shouldn't have gotten caught
Promised he'd been right back
Is it wrong to blame the dead
When they've had their final breath 
Achilles fulfills Patroclus' final words by avenging him
And requests they mix their ashes when the world is done with him

[outro]

Greece's Best Warrior

I’m armed to the teeth
mercy to the ones who once had nice things to say about me
this conquest isn’t about you
buck up, kid, it’s just business

I extend my pity
to anyone who invested in me
time to pull up the sheet and cover the body
of compliments no longer applicable 

I had a hero once
I cut myself up just to get where he was
now I don’t know where that is, recently
I haven’t looked into it

If there’s forgiveness machines
I’m not plugged into them
If I was so smart, well then I would’ve given
a fair price to give
looking back the past doesn’t rhyme
with too much of anything
so I’ll take anything else

I’m picking my teeth
fat from the feast of the egg on my face that I’ve been forced to eat
this gluttony honestly suits me
feeling my size for once

the wall writing’s for me
signed by the newly-impatient overly welcoming 
time to exit gracefully
why is that always what I’m singing about?

I had a fever once
it broke before I could explain what I’d done
now I don’t know what I said, recently
I can’t bear to look into it 

and if there’s thorns in my paw 
I suppose that makes sense
If my recollections really were 
the lion’s share of events
I would be such a victim of happenstance 
I’ll take anything else
