My memories – my armor (needs music)
I’ve seen vast lands, I’ve seen clear brooks,
sites where I felt like in heaven…
people like deer and those like wolves,
and some like vultures and ravens…
I’ve seen wild woods, I’ve seen wide roads,
I’ve been in slums and huge cities…
I’ve read the signs what they may bode,
I kissed girls, sweet and so pretty…
(Pre-chorus)
I’ve paid my debts, I’ve paid the toll…
I’ve seen the spring, I’ve seen the fall,
the good, the bad, I’ve seen them all…
(Chorus)
My memories - my armor,
against the bad karma,
against the dark years…
I know they will save me,
and the bliss that life gave me,
the bliss that came true, that bliss that was odd,
for things that I did and those I did not…
I crossed lakes and climbed up hills,
I swam through dark seas and oceans…
I may have stopped for short, and still,
I have always been in motion…
I crossed green fields and little towns,
guess all this is somewhat human…
I had my ups, I reached my downs,
I suffered… and I loved women…
(Pre-chorus)
I’ve paid my debts, I’ve paid the toll…
I’ve seen the spring, I’ve seen the fall,
the good, the bad, I’ve seen them all…
(Chorus)
My memories - my armor,
against the bad karma,
against the dark years…
I know they will save me,
and the bliss that life gave me,
the bliss that came true, that bliss that was odd,
for things that I did and those I did not…

This lyric really tells a life story from a mature perspective. The pre-chorus is wonderful poetry. Good work my friend.

Memories of good times can indeed give you protection from the bad times. Nice write!
