Been a while. THis is a song I wrote, It's still a work in progress. I just thought I'd get some comments and opinions to see if it's something worth, working on. ANd what lines are definite keepers. I thought it would be cool to see How the song progresses lyrically. Anyway, enjoy. I'll see about getting the music up if I can.
*As of Yet untitled*
Verse 1
You fight for peace
You fight in vain
Can't ever stop the pain
You fight for hope
That's been lost
You fight no matter what the cost
The price of freedom
Is a life
The blood is shed
by your knife
A country breaks out in violence
while the rest of the world
stands in silence
Verse 2
Refuse to see what is real
Blinded by the hate that we all feel
The lives of many taken by a few, now
Do to them what's been done to you
Tanks and trains and bombs and planes,
Evil people all look the same.
Truth is hidden in your lies,
How many people have to die?
Live in fear of every man
Bury him beneath the sand
Hate and greed fuels the fires
as the sun brings down the hours.
Verse 3
In the dark it's hard to see
what's always been in front of me
A world of death and hate and greed
And the monster that we all feed
Hurry now the time is near
To show them the same fear
The've given us, we'll give to them
The've given us, We'll give to them!
*Guitar Solo*
Verse 4
You gotta fight fire with fire
It's an eye for an eye
a life for a life!
Vengeance, Redemption, Liberation,
Call it what you will
Why you're here doesn't matter
We will fight you still!
And if we fall, we will be forgotten
Nameless on the hill
'cause when my bodies dead and rotten
War will be here still.
That bad, eh?
I liked it. (I read most songs around here, I just don't normally post around here as I don't feel I can contribute anything worthwhile. I need more than just lyrics to go on - things that I think would be problems (too strong a rhyming scheme, wildly inconsistent syllable counts etc.,) usually seem to disappear when set to music ;))
I like it alot. Would be good as a punk song maybe :P
