Your Lyrics

[Hasselman]

Excuse me if this thread has already been made (Which I actually think it has). I searched but I couldn't really find anything related.

Just post lyrics you've written.


I use lyrics to express myself or just to pass time.

I started to actually write and concept album some time ago, but I lost the files when my PC fucked up.

But I just wrote this one. Haha, I find it rather hilarious. I've never really wrote black metal lyrics before.

"I Shall Rise Again"

-Give me a reason, give me just one!
Why I have deserved this kind of treatment!
-I did no harm, I brought joy!
Why have I deserved this abandonment!

-You all shall burn! Burn in the pits of hell!
While I'll watch down from the skies!
-I shall smile! I shall laugh!
Laugh while your humanity dies!

*-I was the one, the one to save!
But now I'm the one, the one who needs salvation!
-Now I am the one, the one to kill!
I shall rise above this damnation!*

-You're all scared, scared of what you can't understand!
You all sicken me!
-You have no chance of blessing
A puppet, a slave you are to be!

*-I was the one, the one to save ....*

-I brought you the joy, yet you killed me!
I shall slaughter your cattle, rape your wenchs!
-You're all damned, there'll be no paradise!
I shall rise again and have my revenge!

Bwhahaha.

Oh, thanks. Well, just lock this.

 

[Zephyrus]

The lyrics I write for my band are all based on Virgil's Aeneid. I'll post as many as I can find.

"At the Gates of Latium"

At Latium’s gates the old king watches,
As the demigod and his army approaches.
In waves of regret he recalls how his daughter,
Could have wedded the prince and avoid the slaughter,
Which stains the soil with Rutulian pride,
Who wages war for the Lavinian bride.

At Latium’s gates a battle ignites,
Diplomacy yields to additional fights.
Spear meets shield, armor and flesh,
Peace denied as blood runs fresh.
To see the prince the queen looks out,
In vain she snuffs her own life out.

At Latium’s gates the heroine storms,
With savage strikes, not Amazon-born.
Trained for war by the exiled king,
Wields her blade beneath Diana’s wing.
From Ilium ebbs the battle’s tide,
Till Phoebus’ spear fells sister’s pride.

At Latium’s gates in fear of defeat,
The native chieftains order retreat.

At Latium’s gates the stakes are set,
As half-god sons meet in combat.
With swords and lances blows are traded,
The Rutulian falls, his strength all faded.
At sight of the baldric all mercies end,
Thus cease the strokes of the Mantuan’s pen.


"Carnality's Blade"

Within the pit of the Florentine’s Inferno
A maiden empress within the Second Circle,
Is swept by the tempest of her toxic passion,
Descended from the pyre to the eternal prison.

How easily death could have felled the armada,
Instead she showed mercy to the keels of Ida.
Denying her vows she took Troyland’s groom,
Whose fate-forced departure would lead her to doom.

The Tyrian streets are filled with her pains,
Like channels carved by autumn rains.
The queen of Carthage with rabid cries,
Commands a pyre built toward the skies,

Upon the behemoth of oak and ash,
His sword, his bust, his cloak and sash.
Upon the bed of Cupid’s arts,
Carnality’s blade bisects her heart.

As blood’s exhaled with terminal breath,
The beauty of Sidon embraces death.
So long she suffered the parting pains,
All torment ends on the mount of flames.


There are more that I have written for other songs, but don't think I saved them when I switched to a laptop. Cookiecutter might have some of those. And some of the lyrics are written on pieces of paper I have at home.

 

[Andromidius]

Cue the cheesy Viking themed song...

The scent of salt and sweat fills my lungs,
The storm rages overhead,
Cold rain batters my wet skin and matts my hair,
And the waves strike the bow.

Many months have we sailed and many lands we have seen,
But only one place holds our hearts,
Home, the lands of our kin, where out families await,
Surely they miss us, as we miss them.

The sails creak and strain, the winds pull us out to sea,
Our backs heave the oars,
Odin guide us and lead us home, or else to our father's hall,
Death hangs in the air.

Home! Where our families wait!
Her face appears to me,
Home! Our fates are unbound!
She sings to me,
Home! Shall we ever return? She calls to me!

The bow crashes down, the sea gushes over,
We battle for control,
The mast buckles and falls, men cry in fear,
Oden gives us strength!
The waves tip and rock, we fall and scream,
The sea consumes,
We strike the water as rocks, pulled under by forces unseen,
Death as come.

Home! Where our families mourn!
Her face appears to me,
Home! Our fates are sealed!
She screams for me,
Home! Never to return! She cries for me.

As I sink into the blue, she slowly fades to black...

I would merge this, but merging places posts in the original topic into their chronological order in the thread they merge into...which is dumb, I don't know if there is an option to put em in as a big clump of "new" posts or not, but I haven't seen it. In any case, just c/p your lyrics into there! Thanks
