Forever 27

Brazen the riffs, orgasmic the wails

Forever, the legacy never will pale



Gravel in trachea, power in throat

Rapture in soulfulness, staying afloat



Poetry set to a keyboard, melodic

Lifestyles extreme, lustfully psychotic



Addicted to fame, despised in same breath

Never foreseeing the imminent death



Stints in the clink or the rehab facility

Always fell flat from your soulful ability



Forward the motion of all things immortal

Somehow the bodies entered death's portal



Squeal to me, guitar, deliver my faith

Cut through my heart with the edge of a lathe



Impart in me voodoo, stick me with pins

Rock will absolve me of all of my sins



Sly as a fox are your fingers to strings

Angels of melody, please spread your wings



Light up the joint and pass me the herb

Spare me the dregs of the wrathful reverb



Play my heartstrings like they are a sitar

Pass through the valves, arouse from afar



Free my demeanor, loosen my stride

Rock will forever be my faithful bride



Prolong the summer, cushion my fall

Winter will spring when the wild beats will call



Light all the candles, illuminate eyes

Play in the smoke and remove your disguise



Ride through horizons into setting suns

Eliminate mimics of firing guns



Sell the belongings you can sacrifice

You will no longer submit to your vice



Abort the pretenses of jaded egos

This music will take away most of your woes



Strengthen the spirit, teenagers at heart

This is the message I want to impart



Go find the impetus to rehabilitate

Travel on trains, your power is the freight



You were born to innately make Earth good

The truth will unravel like paper from wood



Out of the darkness, negativity dies

Into the brightness, identities lie



Forever 27, you will be remembered

Playing in heaven, tears are dismembered



Engendered are memories laden with vinyl

Tender the soul, music is not final



Live on, musicians, continue to thrive

Your art was created to build its own life



The world was your oyster, the spotlight you owned

Forever you sit on rock royalty's throne.
