Lyrics

Had I Only Known
© 2012 Austin Tyler/Starburst

Had I known my life was ending
I'd of planned accordingly
Had I seen the darkness coming
I'd of got down on my knees
Had I seen the storm approaching
With no reason for a cure
Had I'd know my life was ending
I would have prayed a whole lot more

(chorus)
Had I only known
Had the prophets only told me
Had I only known
Had I seen the madness coming
I could have picked a different view
Had I known what I know now
I would have been reborn anew
Had I only known
Had I only known
Had I only known

Had the promise seemed unbroken
Had the wisdom come undone
I'd of picked a different program
Danced a lifetime just for fun
Had the prophets and the poets
Reached much deeper in my soul
I'd of led a fight for freedom
Not let failure take its toll

(repeat chorus)

(bridge)
So the heaven's weave their magic
Basking in the one true light
While us mortals suffer tragic
Misery in mere daylight

(repeat chorus)

You guys have something really good going here!

A ton of energy and I enjoyed the lead singer's voice and tone. It fit the song well. Memorable hook and I liked the Blue Oyster Cult tone on the lead guitar. Can never get enough of that!

Nice and powerful, somewhat catchy. Great drummer. Nice biting guitar sound. Decent vocals.
