yeah the philosophers stone is holy grail of alchemy(the art of turning base metal into gold) and it is said that it holds the key not only to making gold but also to deciphering the riddle of existence and unlocking the secret to eternal life...
thats wot it says on the back of this book anyway... and its not the harry potter philosophers stone by the way... the harry potter book just focused on the elixir of life from the stone...
so yes
cya!

I like this verse.
i used to pray for the peace
freedom from the dark
but prayers, without action
stay unanswered in this art Joe]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Joe https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/week-42-the-philosophers-stone/#post-120376 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/week-42-the-philosophers-stone/#post-120318 Fri, 26 Aug 2005 02:08:43 +0000 Sunday Songwriters Group SlowPlay https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/week-42-the-philosophers-stone/#post-120318 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/week-42-the-philosophers-stone/#post-120247 Thu, 25 Aug 2005 21:06:46 +0000 Sunday Songwriters Group Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/week-42-the-philosophers-stone/#post-120247 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/week-42-the-philosophers-stone/#post-119615 Tue, 23 Aug 2005 14:49:49 +0000
Very Good

I like it the way it is written.

I think you're on the right track and one more chorus would only
be repetative.

Plus if the last line was almost whispered that would add a lot of impact
to the song if you understand what I mean.

Nice Work

and i'm not actually sure if the prayers are unanswered or not, or if i should repeat the chorus at the end... and i think it's a fair bit repetative...
so yes.

The Philosophers Stone
i used to hope for the future
the happiness of love
but hoping, it means nothing
when ur hated from above

i used to pray for the peace
freedom from the dark
but prayers, without action
stay unanswered in this art

the philosopers stone just stole my heart
it tore it out and ate it up
all my feelings have turned to gold
and to me theyre never sold
eternal thoughtless end

i used to wish for release
escape from my thoughts
but wishing, bred more tears
with all the pain i fought

i wanted to feel nothing
the hurting was to much
but wanting, gets you nowhere
and you feel so out of luck

the philosopers stone just stole my heart
it tore it out and ate it up
all my feelings have turned to gold
and to me theyre never sold
eternal thoughtless end

i pray for hope
i wish for light
i ask for end to inner violence
...and its over
the never ending end]]> Sunday Songwriters Group mary-jane https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/week-42-the-philosophers-stone/#post-11156
