The Lyrics Thread

[DanLights]

How about people posting their recent lyrics so others can have a look and say what they think about it? I'm gonna start by posting the lyrics to an upcoming Tech Death Ep I'm gonna make (Gareth will be mixing, we've made him wait forever to get the recording done, sorry dude it'll be done soon!). It's not conceptual but all songs are about pretty much the same

CodeNothing "Code of Nothing Ep"

01 – Code of Nothing

you came spitting out words in tongues we curse
Forgetting every single root you planted
Sponsors of blood upon earth

But you changed your style, in consequence of denial

Just for the blood we know,
just for the weakness that we celebrate
and god is now hibernating within these words
Don't trust the innocent
don't dare look in their eyes
we bleed for different causes
ethereal disguises

Embrace our Code of Nothing
Destroy their Code of Everything

Deep inside the fortress,
way beyond the inception
waits the price of infidels who
vomit on the throne
Leave the space for the entrails
of the hidden liars of forever
and then the never will be
king of all that's gone

you came spitting out words in tongues we curse
we fight back in name of all you've forsaken

02 – Contaminated Cultures

The sky has darkened, a million times over this deadhouse
The fight never took place, an unconditional hellhole

Before the dawn arrives you shall portray this

Spitting, thinking. Actions prohibit recognition
Dreaming, deceiving, hand to hand premonition

Summoned, murdered
Conjured, tortured

Scream before the council
Spit before the ancients

Right before us, is the name of our god
no one lets out a word, in the presence of ignorance
no one dares to offend, the most insolent of all

Right before us, is the name of our god
no one lets out a word, in the presence of ignorance
no one dares to offend, the most insolent of all
When the blood is spilled, the destructors are gone

Now the fire is making his way through us
when the night begins we're searching for the cancer

before the dawn dies you will be laid down

I have visions, nocturnal riots
Premonition of magnicide

Now the innocent are behaving like the sheep they are
masses of useless gray matter by the pound
Dancing to one single beat
Like hypnotised beasts

I see cultures, with aching hearts
Premonition of suicide

Has this turned natural?
Has this become an instinct?

Watch them fall down and watch them tumble headless
under the ground they once kissed down to bless them
I am not like them
I am not like you

I am not like all the blankmen that precede me
you will never understand they way I leave this place
In between tears of hate and joy I betray you
And your time is running out

This disease shall not spread further than how it's gone
underneath contamination lies inception
evolution of contaminated cultures
only breeds into contaminated thoughts
the kind that slowly kills


03 – Contaminated Thoughts

(Instrumental)


04 – Signs of Perpetual Bloodlust

Mark us all the path to go down
Lead us into being what you have become
All that's left to say is
nothing can betray this
war shall be unleashed downtown

Marked in the sand
Left a stain so black and deep
Marked in our hands
Left a stain so red and crude

I have never seen such insolence
Concurred in one same place
beware of the grimrobed men
the creators of our very end

Smoke, blood, men in suits
All signs of de-creation
The march of the blind
A march in black
A march in disguise
A parasitic horde leading them into the night

The end is abruptly becoming our new best friend
the pockets of men are happy in death, lay the storm out
like a fucking chessboard on the brink of your demise

I will never be part of this charade
Dancing to the silly beat of the infamous, not me

Marked in the sand
Left a stain so black and deep
Marked in our hands
Left a stain so red and crude

Mark us all the path to go down
Lead us into being what you have become
All that's left to say is
nothing can betray this
war shall be unleashed downtown

 

[AntonioPetrole]

There once was a man from Nantucket
Whose dick was so long he could suck it.
And he said with a grin
As he wiped off his chin,
"If my ear were a cunt, I would fuck it."

In all seriousness i like you lyrics to be honest. One thing I always find hard is to read lyrics with no music, do you have this recorded?

Edit: facepalm, i really need to finish reading threads before I post

 

[LeSedna]

Good idea, actually it's a good idea for non english speakers like me who need their lyrics checked by native speakers.

 

[Skinny Viking]

What will be the 1st track on our new cd

"Neon Abyss"

So tell me now how does it feel?
Look in the mirror, does it still seem real
The eyes quite familiar, I can taste my fear
I can taste my fear.
So tell me now is that my voice you hear?
Words are forming but it don’t seem real
So tell me now how does it feel to live
In a moment where moments keep passing you by.

To never know, to never care
I’m stuck in a riddle unaware
I have to insist, we barely exist
Neon Abyss

Don’t tell me now, you want to help me
I’m disappearing, soon I’ll cease to be
So tell me know how does it feel to live
In this moment your life is whats passing you by

To never know, to never care
I’m stuck in a riddle unaware
I have to insist, we barely exist
Neon Abyss
To see my life through burning eyes
This riddle keeps asking me why
I have to insist, we barely exist
Neon Abyss

Thoughts are transcending, a race towards the ending
So dark and quiet, free fall in silence
Embraced by the violence, the hunger that drives us
Now it’s time, fall or fly
One more try or last goodbye

 

[GarethSE]

cool topic idea ^_^

here's some slice the cake lyrics for those who didn't see them

"Squander:"

"We all wear faces of kings, wisened images of majesty.
Yet we're all one and the same, our facades ever pushed to schism.
We recite bitter poetry, scorning the day's descent,
Alienation's callous grip, urging us to decline the day.

Each one of us searches the streets as restless nights and listless minds,
Envelope our daily existence, devouring the will to breathe.
Yet we find nothing but needless violence.
Ultimate cowardice, actions instead of thoughts.

We all look sideways, hoping to see familiar faces.
All we find are trinkets staring back at us, expressionless.

We are all cursed to walk gaia alone,
Surrounded in kabuki, failed geishas.
It's in the making, it's in the breaking, the theft of all rationale.
In wake of reason we become tainted, entangled in bittersweet escapism

Sidestep the issues at hand; transfixed as statues.
A monument of sloth; we are progress squandered.

In times of tribulation humanity gravitates to idols,
in lieu of self-analysis, reanimate by proxy made flesh.
Existence of idealism near-guarantees hopes and dreams.
Yet, what are we but hollow men in this suburban wasteland?

What worth is transcendance in a world of fools?
Contented in squander they bask in the light of the noose,
Impatiently waiting for a public display of brutality.
Under a pretense of autonomy, we are animals.

The death of art will be our undoing as we sever the ties to what makes us human.
To retain hope in altruism is to surrender ones independence,

Contented in squander."



NOW HURRY UP AND RECORD THAT EP DAN <3

 

[Line666]

The Feather Factory

Running faster, always faster,
From the man with the silver bullet,
Roaming where metal manipulates nature,
He flies through solemn air,
With wings of survival.

And all these vestiges of beauty,
Remind him of those
Now fleeting moments,
Those he loved and lost,
Those he fought and scarred,
Every single battle he waged,
Every turmoil he warred.

And,
The last thing his eyes see,
Are scattered plumes and
Filthy churning gears,
Grinding through the pain,
Of all those bitter years

Now smothered in death,
Drowned in its soft embrace,
He is gunned down in the feather factory,
Where he finally sees gods face.

 

[Skinny Viking]

an older one from our 1st cd

"AGELESS"

Cancer inside, eating away
Bringing me back to ground
No longer hide, no longer ashamed
Pulling my head from clouds

I am alive, if only for today
I'll make it the best I can
So much I've seen, humble to be
After all I'm just a man

And I can't recall ever being this free
In my bones I feel all will be revealed
Soon I will pass from this life, released

Fought through my days, half in a haze
So many times I'd question
The struggle to rise above all the lies
A tiring life obsession

Its all that I've known
A crooked path so overgrown
Tangled in my pride
Kept seeking out some sign

No avoiding destiny
My own mortality
These bitter grains of sand
Falling through my fingers
The emptiness that lingers
I await a brand new day

And I can't recall ever being this free
In my bones I feel all will be revealed
Soon I will pass from this life, released
And I can't recall ever being this free
No more fear, no more anguish, I fly
Soon I will pass from this life, released
I am leaving ground, never coming down
I am much more, so much more
Than my flesh, my soul, my doubts, my hopes, my dreams, this life
I am everything

 

[DanLights]

Edit: facepalm, i really need to finish reading threads before I post

Lol well yeah but it´ll be all brutal vocals and most likely lots of double or triple tracked gutturals so you´d still need the lyric sheet to follow them haha that happens to me with Slice the Cake, good thing the Iphone shows me the lyrics on top of the album artwork while playing, cause I really enjoy gareth`s lyrics

Gareth: We´re on it! Real soon, promise! the guitarrist was sick for a while but he´s back in action now!

Btw I´ll read everyody else´s lyrics tommorrow and post some more of my own, I´m not on my pc right now sorry

 

[pattonfreak1]

From "Disgusted" by The Freeze Tag Assassins:

The table is set and so is the stage
The witty banter between us starts to age

This isn't going as well as I'd hoped for

I thought it was me but now I think it's all you

I change the subject as fast as I can
This story was over before it began

This isn't going as well as I'd hoped for

Like fingernails on a blackboard (bitch)

Multiplied...
By dozens
By hundreds
By thousands
By millions
Over before it began

You won't let me get a word in edgewise
I'm sure it seems like I am all ears
You can believe you hold my attention
But this conversation has bored me to tears

Your logic is faulty. It's falling apart at the seams

How can you look at yourself in the mirror
Every morning when you awake?
You can take anything that's for granted
But it's your integrity that's at stake
Addiction
Peppered with fiction
It's psychosomatic
This conversation is boring me to tears

(awesome solo)

You won't let me get a word in edgewise
I'm sure it seems like I am all ears
You can believe you hold my attention
But this conversation has bored me to tears

Your revolution's over
It fell apart on the scene

(even more awesome solo)

 

[DanLights]

bumping this thead a bit cause I like it.

CrownGuard - Crowning of the Unrighteous (Verses for an Untamed Princess)

I. Cruelty of Sin

One starfilled night,
Drained out all my might
Soul teared into a thousand pieces
All glued together by a heart unknown
(A soul in life begging to chrome)

When hope had lost it´s path,
Out of unknown cracks in the wall
Unleashed a serene wrath
In which I was destined to fall
Still I forsake that night,
And I dream of the day it all will end
But I owe life to this being,
And will repay the sins to mend

You came to me, all wrapped in cellophane
I ran to you, all torn by distant pain
Willing to waste everything, a whole life of conviction
For a sensless mind astray, and a mindless recognition
I greeted you with open arms and blind eyes,
but doubting the unknown not fearing of your lies
A serenade to a princess, a lullaby to a greeted love
A light shining both of us, obscuring all above
A senseless mind crusade, is about to begin
The nightmare of forgiveness, and the cruelty of sin

 

[Skinny Viking]

another older one

"Line In The Sand"

Hours passing by, shadows growing long
Kingdoms rise and fall, and I
Center of the calm
So small
In the blink of an eye, all of it
Gone

Back and forth, try to prove my worth
Shadow of the sun
Dug beneath, much too far to reach
Became a crowd of one
Now I stand, determined once again
To hold common ground
Firm resolve, chin raised oh so proud
No more backing down

Nothing left to lose
I keep making circles

Pushing through, all I used to do
Forcing every change
Steering clear, whenever I got near
Solitude remains
Crossing lines, never wondered why
I would bear the loss
Stuck in place, now I have to face
There is no line to cross

Fall - From Dizzy heights
Back - Unshakeable
Once - Upon a time
Again
Drawn - From the abyss
Lines - Of consequence
Across - Open fist
Of sand

I won't give an inch, I've walked too many miles
Don't think I'm satisfied, Just because I wear a smile
Underestimate me, I don't really mind
Unawareness leaves you that much easier to get behind

Nothing left to lose
I keep making circles
I keep weaving patterns
What does it matter

 

[DanLights]

I like your lyrics dude, would like to hear them in a song. Are those songs recorded?

 

[updog]

I'm gonna pull the trigger and post the lyrics of the song of my band I've posted here before.

I've written these lyrics, I haven't done that a lot but I think I was able to arrange the lyrics pretty neatly into the song, I like the vocal rhythms we were able to do with these.

Decreation

Thus fate locks itself in place, leaving nothing but faint haze of what once declared itself as god
planetary vultures come witness the death of planet of now extinguishing bastard race
inferior forms of life have their eyes firmly fixed on the approaching darkness, knowing they will be hence forgotten
the winds now rise for the very last time and cultures will be swept into eternity

Your faith won't save you now as your gods die by your side
nothing will save you now as your gods die by your side

no dawn for man (x2)

process has begun as its wheels move in rapid motion and so fragments of emptiness are combined to one

time collapses and implodes to nothingness in its decreation

 

[Mago]

Song for my band. Wrote those lyrics and the song about 1 1/2 years ago.
My grammer in english isn't the best, as well as my spelling....hell, even in german I suck ass haha
I'm sure there's some mistakes,but fuck it

"Before The Fire"


Before the fire, Hate to survive
Bring me denial, Painful alive

Before the fire, Hate to survive

These days before the chaos, is setting in
I pray, for silence may come quickly

You're holding on to the worthless system I am forced to break
And I cant live beheyond the enemy's line

Bridge
Save, Save your live
Fight for whats right
Save your live

Chorus
Before the fire, Hate to survive
Bring me denial, Painful alive

Before the fire, Hate to survive
Bring me denial, Painful alive


Bombs falling everywhere
The need to renew everything you've lost
Empty souls leaving bodies lieing scattered on the ground

Destruction follows to the violence been spread
And I cant live beheyond the enemy's line

Bridge

Chorus

 

[Jevil]

Nice lyrics guys!!, I often spend too much time on my lyrics, because englisgh is not my mother tongue and I get stuck in some parts.

I wish there would exist a plugin called EZLyrics.

 

[Skinny Viking]

I wish there would exist a plugin called EZLyrics.

give it time, it'll happen

 

[Skinny Viking]

I like your lyrics dude, would like to hear them in a song. Are those songs recorded?

Wasn't sure if you were referring to our lyrics but in case you were, yeah both "Line In The Sand" and "Neon Abyss" are on our myspace page. "Neon" is just an unmastered rough mix though and "Line" is currently being completely remixed from the version on myspace. Unfortunately, even though the song "Ageless" is recorded, its also in the process of being remixed since its from the same cd as "Line" and the other tunes on our page

 

[DanLights]

Yeah I meant those songs, haven't heard your band, I'll go ahead and check it out now.

Another one

Synth Hibernal - "Merciless (Pray Faddoul)"

The world is defying, the world is defying
Laws are breaking and people are dying
More insane, more insane than the ones before

I am your blood and I know what you feel
I am your ignorance, cry and do nothing
I am the replicant of all your tears
I´m insignificant, I can´t do anything

So pray Faddoul, Call out for your saviour
Don´t let the tears drown you, It´s never too late to kill
The word innocence, means nothing in this jungle
This savage land we inhabitate

I see a cloud so dark, it´s facing itself to god
Children crying into the sky, "what has become of this?"

In the Name of god, let their souls rest
In the name of Justice, may the killers live
In the name of Nonsense, why let things pass by?
In the name of Ignorance, truth will find a way
Truth found nothing...

Stamps of death over a blood-stained well
Nothing stays still and nothing goes well
We are all dead in a certain way
If you had guts you would´ve made them pay
It is time to not regret
It is time to manipulate
It is time to break free from sin
it is now the time to hate

So pray Faddoul, Call out for your savior
Don´t let the tears drown you, It´s never too late to kill
The word innocence, means nothing in this jungle
This savage land we inhabitate
