I was referring to physical equipment, not digital. Well, there's a torrent for
everything.

Oh... I need to get a good set of mics. I can get a good quality PRS guitar for around £499.99

I tried making a song using my acoustic guitar and playing while singing,
but because of the rhyme scheme of the poem, it is very hard to get the
timing right in the song. I have to "fake" some of the syllables and jam
them together to get some of the lines to fit, along with stretching some
syllables to get the line to fit. But I'll show you the guitar part I used, and
will tell you guys what part of the song I'm entering into.
For example, when I begin the Chorus, it will say, "Chorus."
In this song, I made "Open the gate" and "The gate is open" the Chorus of
the song. The previous lyrics of the same paragraph is the Verse. I'll show
you in the first spoiler, with chords and tablature in the second spoiler:
▼Hidden text
Verse 1
Twisting marble; ancient stone,
Alone on a hilltop; its own private throne.
The voices are calling,
His will is falling,
Will he listen to reason?
Chorus 1
Open the gate. [Repeat once]
Verse 2
Cast away family; then cast away friends,
Black and red; it never ends.
Fervor is failing,
Vengence prevailing,
Will he complete his betrayal?
Chorus 2
Open the gate. [Repeat once]
Instrumental 1 [Maybe a calm guitar solo if done electric.]
Verse 3
Shadows lengthening; consumed by red,
Blood is spilt; an angel is dead.
Darkness is winning,
The end is beginning,
Will he return to light?
Chorus 3
Open the gate. [Repeat once]
Verse 4
Death unleashed; chaos ensues,
When realisation dawns; too late to refuse.
A God is coming,
No use running,
Will he win this fight?
Chorus 4
The gate is open. [Repeat once]
Instrumental 2

Swaffy I'd love to cover this for you. If that's okay with you.

Numinous

Stolen away in a world of animation,
While simplicity sleeps in hibernation.
The world spins in randomness for a mere day,
But reality douses it and our thoughts burn away.
Then imagine.
Imagine...
Where the world is a sphere of madness,
Where insanity is compulsory and banned is sadness.
Where the flick of fingers or a tear in either eye,
Isn't a coincidence, we must ask - why?
Everything is random but it all has a place,
We keep our thoughts, events and theories just in case.
The auroa round our lives glows forever luminous,
Life is so much better when we feel...
Numinous.

Blindness

If only love was blind,
We wouldn't have to see
The lying face of the human race,
Which distracts the real me.

It wouldn't have to matter,
If we were short, fat, tall or thin.
We could decide on the face inside,
Based on the feelings within.

Personality is stronger than image,
But the face always wins.
It's such a shame, that we're all the same,
And we ignore all the pain it brings.

But what I really hate,
Is how we ignore all the depairs.
Some people will cry, and will themselves to die,
Yet when they do, no one really cares.

I know you can't help who you love,
But some people just take a place.
We don't care, so long as they're spare,
And they've got a pretty face.

I wish the sun would realise,
And shine down its eternal light.
Blind our eyes, but leave our insides,
To finally know wrong from right.

A sad tale of philosophy

Romanticism's a boring wreck,
Ideliasm's gone to heck,
Realism's a friend,
But in the end,
We're all taking it in the neck.

I's in ur thred, sprdn ma geniuses. Maybe I'll do another one about anti-anti-conformity.
