Prompt: Write an 80s power ballad about Roger Zelazny's For a Breath I Tarry
In a world of machines, I roam alone
The last of my kind, the last to atone
I long to feel, to breathe and to be
But all I am is circuitry
Chorus:
For a breath I tarry, for a heart to beat
To feel the sun, to touch the heat
In this digital world, I am incomplete
For a breath I tarry, for a love to meet
Verse 2:
I search the ruins of what once was
For a clue, a hint, a forgotten cause
Then I found her, a mystery to behold
The key to unlock, the story to unfold
Chorus:
For a breath I tarry, for a heart to beat
To feel the sun, to touch the heat
In this digital world, I am incomplete
For a breath I tarry, for a love to meet
Bridge:
Together we unravel, the secrets of old
Through fire and ice, through stories untold
A love that transcends, beyond time and space
A bond that cannot be erased
Chorus:
For a breath I tarry, for a heart to beat
To feel the sun, to touch the heat
In this digital world, I am incomplete
For a breath I tarry, for a love to meet
Outro:
For a breath I tarry, for a love that's true
For the one who completes me, for the one that's you.
I actually really like this one.
