I haven't posted anything in a while so I decided to throw this up here. I worked on this a bit a while ago, but haven't had the chance to actually finish it off due to school. This was also meant to be somewhat of a minor distraction from other music for the sake of practice, so take from that what you will :P

Let me know what you guys think!

Lyrics:
Under the great northern expanse,
oh I had shut my eyes.
Never heard a word or a message from the bird,
no ear that I give to the wise.
No ear that I give to the wise
(Back down again)
(Back down again)
(Back down again)

Oh Shangrilah high on the montaintop,
will you open your skies.
Up from a grain of dirt
to the master that we serve
and all those we would do well to despise.
All those we would do well to despise.
(Back down again)
(Back down again)
(Back down again)

If you are the rising sun in the west,
then I am a star of the east.
Separated by the stormiest of oceans
or some damned impassable sea.
Forget about time spent with friends,
I'm going back down again.
