Skirmish s021522B
Theme: there was an image we had to use to inspire us, a multicoloured figure dancing without apparent boundaries with abandon.
This one took me longer than usual for a skirmish, about 50 mins. Still needs a lot of editing at a later date.
Collab welcome
Please check with me first as someone may have already asked.
verse 1
You found the serpent in my soul
Just when I thought I had everything in place
Every part of me locked away so safe
pre chorus
I should have known better than to dance away the night
But you promised me so much and I gave up the fight
chorus
So easily
Oh so easily
You trapped me in your arms
You were perfectly polite
But I fell for you
I fell for you
You found the devil in my soul
verse 2
I drank too many pints of beer
Made me lose all sense of being who I am
Could have guessed the lady had a cunning plan
pre chorus
I should have known better than to dance away the night
But you promised me so much and I gave up the fight
chorus
So easily
Oh so easily
You trapped me in your arms
You were perfectly polite
But I fell for you
I fell for you
You found the devil in my soul
Bridge
You didn't run
No girl you stayed right here beside me
All the night
Can you deal with me full time ?
pre chorus
I should have known better than to dance away the night
But you promised me so much and I gave up the fight
chorus
So easily
Oh so easily
You trapped me in your arms
You were perfectly polite
But I fell for you
I fell for you
You found the devil in my soul

That is a spectacular title and image it conjurs. I thought that "dancer" looked pretty ominous and conniving myself, but for different reasons :D
Great write and skirmish!

The Serpent in my Soul, what an evocative phrase. I like this, the characters all poised on the edge of something, maybe even something wonderful.

I like that it did a turn in the bridge. I can definitely see how the girl in the painting could captivate, and I was all ready for a different ending, it's fun to be surprised.
