Here is my song Diamonds Of Rust. Feel free to download it, listen to it, and share it. However, please do not alter the song in any way, including the credits. It was written in 1991, and recorded at Subways Studios, Athens, in 2003. It talks about the Gulf War (basically). There seems to be a problem attaching the lyrics to the mp3 file, so here they are:
Diamonds Of Rust (c)1991 Steve Jaqvaar

Come all you undertakers of my feelings
And bury all my still surviving dreams
Just let me stay alone awhile awondering
The night is never quite what it seems

And now I'm walking alone, on a dark, desert road
The track is burning my feet
I've lost my direction, I've got nowhere to go
No more expectations, I have no one to meet

Come all you undertakers of my freedom
And bury me alive, 6ft below the ground
I am no more the ruler of my kingdom
For a gallon of petrol I have sold my crown

And now I'm walking alone...

Our writers and poets are fading away
The night is replacing the day
Our leaders are lost and our critics are paid
And justice is just another trade
I see the sleeping beauties to the setting of the sun
To its rise there's a fall in the truth
Reality's bending, and war becomes fun
The end of the line is too soon

And now I'm walking alone...

The highway is turning to a dire, dirty lane
An alley of junkfood and dust
I wait with my guitar for the forthcoming rain
To clean all my diamonds of the rust
