The Construct (Chapter 13) Music and Lyrics by: Martin Nethercutt ©2017 Ruth McCartney Music, BMI (8 bar intro riff) 1st Verse This lonely road ahead of me I’m chasing dreams I’m a refugee Pursuit of light my destiny Still I can’t understand just what I see 2nd Verse There in the distance on a hill Stands a monument of will Emanating energy 
 Pulsing dark and vibrantly 1st Bridge Now I see the world go down in flames I can hear the voices coming from the ground 2nd Verse Soldiers of the sacred guard 10,000 strong their faces marred Watching over soil that’s burned and scarred 3rd Verse Suddenly the air feels strange An opening, a quick exchange Between the powers holding court The last command the last resort

WHISPERS IN THE DARK (Chapter 22)

1 Verse

When the clock strikes midnight

And the last of the light is gone

You close your eyes

You reach inside the confines

Of your heart



You hear…

Whispers in the dark

Echoes of a broken heart

Whispers in the dark

The silent sounds tearing you apart



2 Verse

Destination no tomorrow

Written in your hand

The page that turned from hope to sorrow

It’s more than they’ll ever understand but

You hear…



Whispers in the dark

Echoes of a broken heart

Whispers in the dark

The silent sounds tearing you apart

These things you hear

The thoughts you fear



3 Verse / Chorus

Stay away from open gateways to the underworld

Many travelers suffered here

Their echoes cry through walls that sigh



4 Verse / Chorus

Fallen angels cry to heaven

The tears of men

Lost and forsaken

Those of us who will be  taken

See this world no more
