Silver Wings Lyrics

Cover art for Silver Wings lyrics by Thrice

The sonnet is the entire song Davidmoon. A sonnet is a fourteen line poem in iambic pentameter. That means it has fourteen lines, each line contains ten syllables, and every other syllable is stressed. Each stanza also has an ABAB rhyme scheme and the last two lines are just AA.

The end of the song is the portion that is repeated in each of the four sonnets. If you listen to the last track on each element's respective disc, you will notice that the melody for each is the same.

For Air it goes "And after all of this I am amazed/ That I am curse far more than I am praised."

Fire: "But who will stand to greet the blinding light?/ It's lonely when there's no one left to fight."

Water: "But Grace can still be found within the gale./ With fear and reverence raise your ragged sail."

Hope that clears it up. The sonnet is the whole thing not just the end.

Sonnets don't need to be in iambic pantameter, there are different sorts of meters that can be used. And yes, I realize this response is to a 4 year old post lol.
