Story to Tell: "Chuck was/is my hero for many reasons"

By Perry Grayson

I donated my first acoustic/electric guitar to help Chuck Schuldiner's battle against cancer nearly 11 years ago. Was meant to be auctioned. I don't know if it ever was... Behind me here are a bunch of LPs you may recognize.
Perry: "With my old roundback acoustic donated to aid Chuck Schuldiner's battle against cancer, 2000"
Chuck was/is my hero for many reasons, but most of all because he was down-to-earth. He didn't cop a rock star attitude when I met him in the least. ;)

This is the letter of authenticity I sent with the guitar I donated to help Chuck's fight for life


Read the letter HERE!

Here are the lyrics to the song I used that acoustic/electric guitar I donated on. ;)



The Obscure
Lyrics/Music by Perry M. Grayson
From the Destiny's End album BREATHE DEEP THE DARK (Metal Blade Records, 1998)

To the Memory of Frank Belknap Long (1901-1994)
Inspired by his tales "The Flame Of Life" and "Giants In The Sky"

[Intro Acoustic Lead: Perry]

Out in the distance the voices are calling
High in the night, the sirens are blaring
Will we survive or just fade away...

Humankind bleeding with arrogance
To not realize they're so insignificant
Adapt to change and leave the Earth behind...
Behind... Behind!

Flame of life - reach the core of space
Suspend time - reach eternity

Won't you tell my future?
The unknown is waiting
Won't you tell my future?
Memory is fading
Won't you tell my future?
Words are forever
Won't you tell my future?
The unknown is waiting

When the final days are approaching
Watch the arrogant ones burn themselves out
Legacy of the obscure
The remaining force going beyond... beyond...

Flame of life the creative mind
Suspend time reach throughout the years
Flame of life reach the core of space
Suspend time reach eternity

Won't you tell my future?
The unknown is waiting
Won't you tell my future?
Memory is fading
Won't you tell my future?
Words are forever
Won't you tell my future?
The unknown is waiting

[Leads: Perry, Dan]

To die as a pauper, while memories remains
To live an outsider, outcast from this time
Masses fall into self destruction
Vanish from greed into oblivion

Won't you tell my future?
The unknown is waiting
Won't you tell my future?
Memory is fading
Won't you tell my future?
Words are forever
Won't you tell my future?
The unknown is waiting
