My first SPECTRE Lyric Attempt

Long before Skyfall appeared, I tried writing a lyric for the theme tune, just for my own entertainment. You can see that one here. 

This predated Adele's by quite a bit but I was pleased to see I had hit a few of the thematic points more-or-less right.

Here's my first attempt at a SPECTRE one. 

My main theorem is that you can't just call it SPECTRE.

A New Threat Arises

It’s warm in the shadow

Safe in darkened sky

But a new threat arises

And it’s time now to fly.

To stay would be everything

If only to try

But a new threat arises

And it’s time now to die

A Spectre is growing

Across troubled land

Eternity turns

In the palm of one hand.

To run would be easy

To hide in plain sight

But a new threat arises 

tonight.

The horizon is calling

Through fast growing gloom

I would stay with you silent

In the dark of the moon.

But the wolves are cut loose

I am called to the fight

And a new threat arises 

tonight.

Sleep until daybreak

Alone as you lie.

For a new threat arises

And it’s time now to die.
