Does anyone here write lyrics? If you do, please share something with us. I guess I'll start- Out in the darkness, with stars burning bright Feeling a change in me tonight Out in this place, with eyes free to see These sketches of serenity Out on the lakeshore, with waves rolling in Hearing the secrets long held within Asking a question, the response comes to me In vivid scenes of serenity Out in the city, with buildings rising high Reminiscing of that star filled sky Recalling moments that I long to see Anxious for another change in me Wrote that last night. Pretty artsy/fartsy for me, but it's pretty cool I think.
Taco Bell Queen I walk to the register Nervously standing, I cant take the pressure She says Can I take your order? I said hit me with that taste from across the boarder She said thatll be 99 cents please Her body, my eyes were teased Minimum wage worker, it has to be a disguise Then I realized: Shes a Taco Bell Queen Shes the hottest thing ive ever seen Cause shes a taco Bell queen She looks good in Blue jeans Shes the taco bell queen Shes surprisingly clean Shes the taco bell queen I want to taste her..protein Shes the taco bell queen Its taco bell shes only thirteen by the way this isn't a serious song
Yep. Comes with vocal duties. This one is about 2-3 weeks old. Edit- Note: Really doesn't "flow" in the traditional sense, but this is lurching, ADD style metal, so it fits into the actual song pretty flawlessly. Give it all like a gut-shot of cancer A present of the blinded collapse Take that time of murderous pardon To swim inside head of the diseased Turn eyes to deserts of reddening Carving names on deathly limbs In these silences something may rise Naked and freezing with shiv in the rachis Glyphs that read the carrion vendetta Take that maggot heart and bury it deep Before azure becomes dynamite catalyst Entropy at its finest burns so bright Seems as though the gutters are afire Aborted with acid a thousand time again Say goodbye to the morass knee deep Filled with tounges of those that came before Trapped again in endless rain Staring upward as faces melt within Pesticide forgiveness running like water Pooling with the blood around feet Siphon off infected leeches of remorse Toxicitys boiling point is contravention Chorus Fortunes of amnesty lost in shuffling feet Covered and cut down as vision blurs Nothing too sacred to be desecrated Play recoverys wicked game for a while As the future hurtles out of control All that is left is what this sarcoma can give Give it all like a gut-shot of cancer Chorus
Cool guys- keep 'em coming. The Taco Bell Queen was great! Reminds me of some biology class lyrics I wrote with a buddy of mine (each wrote a verse, and then passes the paper to eachother). I think it's good to write some totally non-sensical lyrics from time to time. It prevents you from taking yourself too seriously. Me and my drummer buddy Jim (we are both huge Rush fans) went to a carnival a couple of summers back, and met a carny named Curly Pratt. He worked the "Bust the Bottle" stand, or, as Curly would say "Kick it in the ass." This guy was just plain filth, and we got along great. Anyway, any project I've been in with Jim has taken on the name Curly Pratt since then, and this was the first song we wrote for it. The Ballad of Curly Pratt Who's the man behind the myth? Who's that crazy sumabitch? You've heard the stories, you've seen the fat This man is none other than Curly Pratt Just step right up and you will see The bust the bottle mystery The booze was drank long ago By a working man and a midnight ho etc, etc, etc... Brendan- those have got to be the most metal lyrics I've ever read! A gut shot of cancer? Fraggin' genious!
Heres one by my buddy. Democracy: Uncle Sam be representin our nation He supposed to be our salvation This is intended to be democracy How can this be Power by the people Bull! Power by the people Bull! They control our lives Cant even vote, for our own president Basic human rights: Theyve been deprived Electoral college Thats a load of Our own people Yea thas right They believin everything he says We must put up a fight Power by the people Bull! Power by the people Bull! They believe they own the game So then why do we just sit here Why are we so tame? We have to show we have no fear Relentless we must be As we try to shape this democracy Our freedoms, they must be preserved They must give us whatt we deserve Direct election Has to be the policy of this nation None o this Electoral College We have to fight for it Government thinkin they runnin the show Well, wut the do they know? Only us people can decide But the government doesnt see this side Always thinkin they know whats right Well, we gotta show em wut we want And maybe then theyll understand our fight Power by the people Bull! Power by the people Bull! Power by the people Bull!!
Naw. Thank John Bush (Anthrax). There's a song caled "Inside Out" That contains the lyrics: "It's in my stomach like fire, like cancer / Like a knife I've been gunshot" I heard (what sounded to me like) "gut-shot" and the word "cancer" pretty close to each other, and the line popped into my head. So I guess it's not really my fraggin' genius...

Intro Today I wrote a song for you a song you'll never hear About how I have fallen for you About how you dont care About how I cant fall asleep at night Because your always on my mind. All about all of the love That I will never find Chorus So now I write this song for you And hope that you wont go I need all the answers, to all the whys That I will never know. I hate this relationship If you can call it that at all When someone loves someone so damn much And they dont care at all I hate the **** you promise me I hate your way with words I hate the fact that I cant hate you And the fact that I dont learn Why... Now i sit here and wonder If I could have done, what I needed to do If we could ever be more than friends I wondered what you'd think of me If I called you tonight I asked god why your not here why your not by my side Why he wont let me win this fight verse I wondered if you'd ever cared And then I heard the phone and i prayed it was you And I would not be alone Now that i have writen this song for you.. i know that you will hear it and give me the answers to all the whys that i needed to know. chorus number 2 Good Luck Without Me intro i know a guy that likes you, he's the kid from science too, one plus one you know is two, this is wat he'd say to you... verse i love you dont leave me you make me feel safe you chagne me i hold you... to my face its good to have felt you when you're around when i feel down i just think of you...

Chorus And number 3. Life After You. Intro Verse Sitting and thinking, wishing you'd call, wanting to hold you, miss me at all? Why is it always you on my mind? Can't help but kiss you, this song is mine. Drums or Guitar Intro (Main Riff) First Verse Sometimes I find it hard to breath, Living my life gets so hard to lead Knowing I've lost you, makes me feel worthless I felt i could fly, with you by my side. Small Break Chorus But somehow it happens the day you far gone i sat on the stairs, shoutin, can you come home the nieghbors were screamin, I sit there alone and thats when when i see you, smile, bringin hope and...

Drum Bit Chorus Bridge (solo's and **** maybe) Repeat Intro Verse and there u go theres a couple of mine the only ones i have typed up on the computer. I am too lazy to type up some more so that all for now folks. Shayne
Those lyrics were pretty cool Brendan. You've got a real knack for writing metal lyrics. I wrote a metal song... well poem. My girlfriend told me to write a poem for her. It was something about the thoughts going through my head as I was being beaten to death, and how it reminded me of my abusive childhood or something (which I didn't have BTW). It was kinda cool.
Possession (check out www.cdbaby.com/evolved to hear a clip). I. Drifting off in my basement cage I must reverse the acts of age Research has brought me to the start Ive solved the lungs; Ive solved the heart How can I resuscitate The brilliant mind of a saint How can I bring back the corpse To create an unstoppable force Tonight- Ill fight off scrutiny Tonight- Ill preserve mortality Im leaving history behind As I rewrite the book of life I refuse to hear what they say Im going ahead either way The time has come to make my move Tonight I ascend into the blue The creature almost tasting life Tonight I end my plight Tonight- Ill set this creature free Tonight- Ill preserve mortality II. Locked away in my basement cage Trying to calm the commoners' rage How could I create That which interrupted fate Tonight- I defied mortality Tonight- I faced eternity...
Here's one i wrote after a Math Test a couple weeks ago Kill Blood Through my veins Rage through my brain Keep your distance Im ******* insane Angers gonna show Tempers gonna go Whats gonna happen You dont want to know Im gonna kill you No matter the consequences Im gonna kill you Ill take all the chances Im gonna kill you Dont even try to run away Im gonna kill you You gonna die anyway Preparations have been made Last words have been said Nothing you can do now Your ******* dead Anger now relieved Blood on my knife Im so happy now That I took your life
yea im a crazy guy. Here is one after my football coach said "You must have eaten Wheaties today." Wheaties Why is it Why is Wheaties the breakfast of champions What does it do Gives energy and it strengthens tendons What about the others The other breakfast foods Lucky charms is for midgets Count chocula changes moods Others has disadvantages The silly rabbit is actually gay And Cookie Crisp now is not considered gourmet but wheaties All the atheletes enjoy Tiger woods and Michael Jordan Say its there play boy Dan Marino and troy aikmen Say that its the best and when its third and long they feel very unstressed The atheletes dont like Fruity Pebbles they dont like being confused by their tricky puzzles and Tiger woods he doesnt like smacks the frog makes him nervous and he cant relax but wheaties All the atheletes enjoy Tiger woods and Michael Jordan Say its there play boy Dan Marino and troy aikmen Say that its the best and when its third and long they feel very unstressed
johnm0187, those not so serious lyrics are great! Love the Taco Bell Queen thing. Zappa would be proud.
I was forced to sing and write lyrics for Dead Hand System, which I had never done before. I wrote this one in about 5 minutes: Upon Waking Adam, where are you now? I lost you in a dream I'm all alone, I'm all alone In eternity I will fade away I will become obsolete And when you turn to find me You will find me gone Without me your life is worthless Your existence becomes nothing Then it ends You can download it here: Upon Waking It's not written from my point of view, by the way. Guess who's?
since you all have seen my non serious songs, I'll post a serious one If I Can If i can be there, any day you are. I would see every thing you are. And everything you are, is every thing to me. If i can be there for you, would you be there in me? Just to see how the light shines in your eyes. I would be there in your storms, I would be there to calm your soul, I would be there for you to lift these deeds. Your next to me, But your falling, falling from between my fingers. Falling from the sky above me. But i will be there with you, where ever you go, and wont hide. If i can, Oh if i can, Baby if i can, ill be there to see you anyday. Every one, Here and around, all of them in the ups and the downs.
A little thing from a ballad-type song I was writing. Drought Turn my face away from the sun Take a bow, the curtain is drawn All my life I've lived in the light And now it's time to take a turn away Chorus Take care of the rain Before the grounds break My heart is still beating And our lives are at stake Take care of the rain Forget your mistakes Now everyone's leaving And the tension will break It's too late to put the blinders on I can't deny all the things I've done wrong The sky sprung a leak all my doubt dissapears This drought is the way into all that I fear In my eyes, the burning red All I believe is lost to the dead The barren land refuses to break And my desire is dead to the world
