Ok first time in the group posts, sup all :D. I wrote this a few minutes ago, and please dont think everything else i write will be like this, i have no idea why i wrote this lol but here it is.
The Wave
They know who i am...ive seen 'em before.
The dim-minded hypocrites pushin' for war..
Ive handled my few but they've grown too strong..
Cant send em back from iraq or saigon..
Spread like disease this plague of their call..
Supremacy selling its place for withdrawl...
Stealing the light from all thats beneath..
The sacrifice we all make to be free..yea right..
Ask someone who loves me if i care..
Youll find things diverge from what they appear..
I cry for the thoughts of the simple men there..
Maybe you know by now im the real one here..
Americas son..dont feed me that s.h.i.t..
Theyd sell their own mothers for their high-rise rent..
Trade them in and feed their souls..
With power misled in greed and control..
Its the easy way out..the path they lead..
Its easy to kill..when its not your seed..
Thats dying out in the fields overseas..
Enough of the fight..lets set 'em free...
Ask someone who loves me if i care..
Youll find things diverge from what they appear..
I cry for the thoughts of the simple men here..
Maybe you know a few..or they passed in the air..
But please dont ask of me what i cant give..
Change that regulates this terrible fear..
Of living life without the choice...
No heart,love,no truth or voice..
For fear itself it what drives them on..
The fear of having it all be undone..
No power in front of their will and their hands..
No reason to perceive their well laid plans..
Every living change that ever will come...
Must be from love ..or something as strong..
Never will it happen..in a life like this..
Not in my lifetime..never in his...
But there will be a time from which all can be saved..
Change can come breaking, falling like waves..
Filling the ocean with a heavenly rage...
And we will be the ones to rejoice in our fate..
Ask someone who loves me if i care..
Youll find things diverge from what they appear..
I cry for the thoughts of the simple men there..
Maybe from here..the world will come clear...
Maybe from here..our world can be thiers..
Hey lowlight
Good powerful stuff.
Great Chorus.
Just one point for future reference, and it's something I do, occasionally let the song breathe give it some space. Lyrics don't have to occupy all the room. In this case I think there's no need to worry - It's good.
Bob ;)
You are what you eat, eat well
Light,
What I like best is the way the verses flow. It's poetry as much as song lyrics. Nice work.
- silly putty
Hey Light,
I read threw your lyrics several times looking for a suggestion I could give you and there are just too many for me to write here.... just kidding, I could not find anything. It really is great. It flows well, it has a strong point to it, very powerful as Bob said. I like songs with a political stance and think that songs are suppose to have strong emotions and/or are suppose to convey an idea, even if some/most people don't agree with what you say. A lot of my song doodles are political just because they are something I feel strongly about so it's easier for me to write about. Great work!
Purple
It's not easy being green.... good thing I'm purple.
Very powerful lyrics. A bit misguided, but such is youth. ;D
