A syllable is a unit of organization for a sequence of speech sounds. For example, the word water is composed of two syllables: wa and ter. A syllable is typically made up of a syllable nucleus (most often a vowel) with optional initial and final margins (typically, consonants).
Syllables are often considered the phonological "building blocks" of words. They can influence the rhythm of a language, its prosody, its poetic meter and its stress patterns.
Syllabic writing began several hundred years before the first letters. The earliest recorded syllables are on tablets written around 2800 BC in the Sumerian city of Ur. This shift from pictograms to syllables has been called "the most important advance in the history of writing".
A word that consists of a single syllable (like English dog) is called a monosyllable (and is said to be monosyllabic). Similar terms include disyllable (and disyllabic) for a word of two syllables; trisyllable (and trisyllabic) for a word of three syllables; and polysyllable (and polysyllabic), which may refer either to a word of more than three syllables or to any word of more than one syllable.
There's a place I call Sleepy Hollow
Where I go when you're not around
There's a brook running clear in the meadow
I lose my blues in it's sound
The wind and the trees from the hollow
Whisper secrets of life in my ear
When I lay down in their shadows
I dream that you're still here
The bubbling babbling brook is your laughter
The wind blowing softly,your touch
I've found the one thing I'm after
Your love, your love means so much
Until you say that you love me
And make all my dreams come true
I'll go down to my Sleepy Hollow
And dream my dreams of you
I'll go down to my Sleepy Hollow
Came to see him, for,
You only might find.
Gone take my lay,
For you and I will find.
Fronting my face,
I cannot ever find.
Places I care for,
Nothing in my mind.
Bring me not far enough.
All lurking you'll find.
Placing not far,
You're every single mind.
So fine can only,
For you and me will find.
Basis all for me,
Can you leave my mind.
Bracing my fall,
My every single place.
Your love travelled far,
Some laying with my fates.
Place some never far,
You're everything away.
You say I'm a love,
And be mine every way.
(Inside)
Under the sand,
Through the land,
Find all I can,
And form a clan,
That teaches to laugh.
Tears the past.
Laughs at the rest.
Teach the best.
Defeats the rest.
Forms the test,
We passed all the tests.

Billy's confused he's been abused,
Billy's bemused with Barbara,
she went with Billy but he's so silly
she's finished with him now.
All the wedding plans have gone down the drain
will Billy ever see Babs again?
He's a silly Billy,
why can't Billy not see?
that Babs is just a slag she's a dirty bag
she just wants his willy
but poor Billy can't see
that she's a trollop & he's a silly Billy
Babs is back she's got the knack
knows how to wrap him round her finger
her little finger
a kiss and a cuddle now Billy's in a muddle
coz Babs has gone again
Now what's gonna happen to the honeymoon?
Running through the fire
Taking a breath, praising the air
Standing on the hill of this earth
Standing in the rain
Dark blood of mine
I'm four but one
Four names, four princes
SaLuBeLe
I deny three I praise two
Devilish thoughts of my mind
Including four mighties
SaLuBeLe
Satan - Lord of south and fire
Lucifer - Lord of east and air
Belial - Lord of north and earth
Leviathan - Lord of west and
Came to see him
For you only might find
Gone take my lay
For you and I will find
Form to see my fates
I cannot ever find
Places I care for
Nothing in my mind
Bring me not far enough
All lurking you'll find
Placing not far
You're every single mind
So fine can only
For you and me will find
Basis all for me
Can you leave my mind
Bracing my fall
My every single place
Your love travelled far
Some laying with my fates
Place some never far
You're everything around
You say I'm a love
And be mine every way

Demons on his black steed
Racing through forests night
His heads is nowhere to be found
It's a terryfying sight
Hew scours 'round the countryside
Silver blade in hand
No citizen is safe tonight
He gets what he demands
In sleepy hollow (your head is up for grabs)
In sleepy hollow (fear for your life)
In sleepy hollow (it's you he seeks to find)
In sleepy hollow (beware the night)
When you least expect it
When the horseman strikes
He flies out of the darkness
You sense something's not right
He wields his sword, you hear the steel
He's bearing down on you
You pray to god to spare your life
Then slice, you know you're thru
He's got some heads, now you would think
His nights work was through
Not until the sunrise, will he stop hunting you
His stolen skull must be returned
So he can rest in peace
Until then it seems my friend
You say I’m not good enough for you
But then you say I’m not good enough for anyone but you
You say you just have to be left alone -- so now you're
alone
So you curse me and hit me and you claw me until I bleed
Then you want, and you want, and your want turns into
need
Submission is free, it’s just what we need
When I talk, you'd better listen to me
Wake up, to me you're just slaves
Now here's a treat so you'll behave
So I grab you by the back of your mane
You say it’s not good without a little bit of pain
You say I do nothing but hurt -- I’ll show you hurt
So you curse, you curse, you hit, you hit and you claw me
until I bleed
Then you want, and you want, and your want turns into
need
Submission is free, it’s just what we need
When I talk, you better listen to me
Wake up, to me you're just slaves
Quietly I drown myself in dreams
To find it all I€™ve taken liberty to fall asleep
Wanting everything
If you awake to find it€™s all the same
I€™ll try again
I swear I€™ll try again to fall asleep
Wanting everything
Just to be completely free
At least believe there€™s something else this time
You know you€™ll find me here asleep under this spell
Who€™ll notice?
I€™m wondering myself
Now you gaze between love and despair
It€™s hard to see a look become a prayer to fall asleep
Wanting everything
Just to be completely free
At least believe there€™s something else this time
You know you€™ll find me here asleep under this spell
Who€™ll notice?
I€™m wondering myself
All at once it occurred to me:
It€™s the way that I€™ll ever be
Well never mind
What I meant to say was along the lines of making you stay
And I whisper this as you walk away
"At least believe in me"
At least believe there€™s something else this time
You know you€™ll find me here asleep under this spell
Who€™ll notice?
I€™m wondering myself
