Scroll down for lyrics
This is the second World Premiere Song video for songs from my upcoming album, The Black Labyrinth, an unofficial sequel to Labyrinth and a tribute to my hero, David Bowie.
This song was selected by my patrons at patreon.com/aureliovoltaire
Join me there if you can to get sneak peeks on upcoming Black Labyrinth songs and to see how the picture book is coming along.
In the story, the protagonist leaves his home town on a journey to meet his hero, The Goblin King. The journey takes him 37 years! Along the way, he's written a song for his hero and his one dream is to be able to play it for him. However, when he finally arrives in the Goblin city and asks to see the Goblin King, he's directed to a tomb and it's only then that he realizes that his hero has died. Instead of playing him the song he wrote on the flute, he drops to his knees and sings him this song instead.
What Will We Do? Lyrics
When you were here there were songs that were sung
and in the sky there was a star.
But since you've left us all the melodies have gone.
There's only sobbing in the dark.
What will we do? What will we do?
What will we do now that you've gone?
Who will I turn to when my will to live is lost?
How will I ever carry on?
How will we ever carry on?
When you were here there were stories that were told
of your adventures near and far.
You took us with you in our minds and in our hearts.
Now, we're just stuck here where we are.
What will we do? What will we do?
What will we do now that you've gone?
Who will I turn to when my will to live is lost?
How will I ever carry on?
How will we ever carry on?
When you were here there was a present full of love
and a past of which we're fond.
There was a future though we knew not what it was.
But with you in it was enough.
What will we do? What will we do?
What will we do now that you've gone?
Who will I turn to when my will to live is lost?
How will I ever carry on?
How will we ever carry on?
If you were here, you would comfort our hearts
and you'd ask us not to grieve.
You say to smile but through these tears is very hard.
Why did you ever have to leave?
What will we do? What will we do?
What will we do now that you've gone?
Who will I turn to when my will to live is lost?
How will I ever carry on?
How will we ever carry on?
How will we ever carry on?
How will we ever carry on?
