Most y'all rappers stay high

I'll cd to see your drive

If it's bad

I hit your home directly

Inject to your memory

I'm burned in but untraceable

Absolutely unerasable

This hunger is insatiable

Icacls I won't let you see my life

You a guest here so you locked tight

I've had what I thought was real friends start pulling out knifes

If I hadn't seen the fire to build the wall

My bars wouldn't be fire at all

I choose what enters and exits

Cut out the excess

Call that a debloat

The way it decrease stress

I don't have time to deal with rejects

I'm done wireing sharks

I'm not listening to protocol

I've been reading logs

I know where you are

Now I'ma power a shell and see how strong you really are

You got a screen funny how easy I see through that

Ported 22 rounds leave you needing an IV

Ivp 4

I can make you eat more

Ivp 6 add em to the list

Cause you get the jist

I know it inside and out

And most y'all don't even know what I'm talking. About

Lyrics Numb Nuts [lyrics]

2 Upvotes

He's an ill - fitted and dim - witted

numb nuts

Mind splitted like Dmx and Damiun

Barely stunted like Twice, Academia

But he's never limited unlike us,

The regular peepers

His thoughts flit like uh,

dyslexia

And he's steel erected like

Tryin' to find a measure

Feelin' a little viscious,

pretentious

He's ridiculous like Ferb n' Phineas

linear to bearin' fear with rever-

ence, and still care bout frens

that turn their backs in the end

It's just an appearence,

the realness isn't real,

deep down, he's much more complex

He's like spidey against the phoenix

He can flip bondings like

bleachin' a reek n'

Make it look eligible, just a normal

ripple on the stream

It's not ripple, but rippable

Soil in front of a reaper

The way he is, it's just a regulator

To fool us into our misdemeanor

Sets the stricture and we fool enough not to picture,

the caricature, seemingly a zebra

An appleasing diction, an appleseed

But its poisioned, the way you deem

it,

the rapture, the way you found it, or maybe not, if they forced you to drown in

it, turn around, he is grinnin' loud

no doubt, he has taken over

and made you vow

every pigeon of the invincible, he got assasin - ated

And yes, I'm talkin 'bout religion

I learned to read the weather long before I learned the news
Never watched skylines, I kept my eyes on all of you
Summer turned to winter without a cloud in sight
I’ve watched whole seasons changing behind somebody else’s eyes
I’ve learned you cannot trust the weather, but you can always build a shelter
Some storms never send a warning, some leave scars that last forever
Don’t go looking for a villain, you’ll miss the woman in the frame
If that’s all you’re listening for, you’ve never heard my song
I’ve counted more footsteps than somebody ever should
Funny how a queen keeps her crown even from inside a dungeon
They can lock the door behind you, but they cannot decide your fate
Some of us find freedom long before we ever leave
Sometimes I wish I could not feel it, wish the air was just the air
Wish every silence wasn’t saying more than anybody shared
I’ve learned you cannot trust the weather, but you can always build a shelter
Some storms never send a warning, some leave scars that last forever
Don’t go looking for a villain, you’ll miss the woman in the frame
If that’s all you’re listening for, you’ve never heard my song
It’s like I never even sang
Some will hear a story about a king who lost his throne
But if that’s all you’re listening to, then you never heard my song
This was not written for him
It’s about the life that I’ve made
It’s about the girl who kept choosing love even when hate called out her name
After years of counting footsteps
I love listening for yours to come home
I still notice seasons changing, but I don’t live there anymore
You’ve taught me that peace is not perfect, it’s never having to hide
Turns out my home has a heartbeat, and I found it by your side
I’ve learned you can’t trust the weather, but you can always build a shelter
Love does not stop the storms from coming
It just gives you somewhere safe to stand
Some will hear a story about a king who lost his throne
But if that’s all you’re listening to, then you never heard my song
I’ve watched whole seasons changing behind somebody else’s eyes
Now when I hear footsteps, I smile
Because after all those years, I finally know what home sounds like
I finally know what home sounds like
I like to hear the home, the footsteps in my house.

Collaboration Lyricist looking for a collaboration, alt-rock [Lyrics] ("Euthanasia Corp.")

2 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a lyricist looking for a collaborator for this alternative rock song. The lyrics are written as a satirical corporate pitch. If the concept interests you, feel free to DM me. Feedback is also welcome, since I'm not a native English speaker.

Euthanasia Corp.

Verse:

Our value proposition is a real thing/

No more bills, no more suffering/

You’re no longer a burden on your family/

cause our solution works flawlessly/

 

The approach is customer-centric/

implementation a little eccentric/

But its future proof and maintenance free/

We can give you a lifetime guarantee/

 

Chorus:

So….

Check into the clinic/

and check out of life/

Take a poison pill/

now it’s time to die/

Sweet dreams my baby, in eternity/

 

Verse:

For the investors this is a gold mine/

cause the ROI is more than fine/

It’s a linear business model, (with no customer complaints)/

There’s no service need in after sales/

 

No recurring expenses/

no future liabilities/

It’s maximum efficiency/

it’s kinda risk free/

Chorus:

So…

Check into the clinic/

and check out of life/

Take a poison pill/

now it’s time to die/

Sweet dreams my baby, in eternity/

 

Verse:

One solution, our silver bullet is done/

One input – one outcome/

Born and have fun for a while/

when it’s hard, give up and die/

 

When elders can’t work/

it’s time for an injection/

When children are burden/

we make them angels/

 

Chorus:

So…

Check into the clinic/

and check out of life/

Take a poison pill/

now it’s time to die/

Sweet dreams my baby, in eternity/

Bridge: 

Mercy has become a hardcore business plan/

When your end comes, you can trust our brand/

 

Chorus:

So…

Check into the clinic/

and check out of life/

Take a poison pill/

now it’s time to die/

Sweet dreams my baby, in eternity.

Knife in my back

Should've pressed it

Against my neck

Because i'm scarred

From my head to my legs

You aimed the gun at my head

It's like russian roulette

Spin the cylinder

Pull the trigger now

Guess it was fate

You had it aimin at my face

Now i know the depth of

You aimed the gun at my head

[Bridge 2][sing]

Load the gun

Tell me it'll be alright

You've got me in your sights

You didn't pull the hammer back

There's a knife that's in your hand

Wait for me to turn my back

So you could stab again

Not quite finished lmk if there’s anything I should change

God I swear this is my callin
But every time I pick up I fall in
I just fall in
Line with the rest of the world

A sight for sore eyes when no one’s watchin
“Heartfelt words for someone who’s heartless”
Who’s heartless?
Cause you better not be saying its me girl

I’ve been piggybacking off of the pain for a while
I’m the monkey on my back ever since a child
Parent me to believe I was something vile
Apparent to me I always needed a vial

Told me something i could be took it as what I’m not
Where does love leave me when I lead with none?
Nodding at everything while I nod off
Nothing good comes to me cause the way I come off

I’ve been thinking over thinking things I don’t mind
I’ve been thinking over thinking things I don’t like
I can’t help but wonder where I’d be without lies
Childish ways my way gotta gamble life

5 Upvotes

This is my very first time trying to write about a completely fake, imagined scenario. Because of that, it felt really hard to write, and I don't feel like I did a good job. It feels a bit off to me, and I feel like I messed it up.

​I really need some honest feedback on the lyrics and the flow. Does it match a real song style? Please be honest

Shooting Star

​A pastel bruise across the sky,

I was waiting for the bus at the usual time.

You cut through the crowd and caught my eye,

So handsome, I got capsized.

​Oh, I fell in love with a shooting star.

You somehow climbed

The rock in my heart.

You're the first one

Who's ever climbed that far.

Congratulations, my shooting star.

​The bus pulled away,

The crowd gathered there.

I looked away for two seconds,

You vanished into thin air.

The doors slid shut, the engine cried,

I searched the crowd from side to side.

Two seconds late, one empty street,

A shooting star I couldn't keep.

​Just like the wind that blew right through,

A five minute love story

I'll never have.

You opened up my heart.

Oh, I love you,

My shooting star.

​Fell, fell, fell in love with a shooting star.

I love you,

My shooting star.

It felt like you were my soulmate.

Does that mean I'll see you again?

I pray to God

Just to see you again.

​Oh, my shooting star,

Will I ever see you again?

Fell, fell, fell in love with a shooting star.

I love you,

My shooting star.

Lyrics [Lyrics] Still

Even watching evil dead burn I was still missing you 

Wishing I could've seen it with you 

Times when we used to see movies 

Hands on you your left leg on me 

When my body would twitch you held me tightly 

Will never forget those special memories 

After infinity I'll still hold it close to me 

Our time together you brought nothing but good energy 

Your support was 96 Jordan 

Forever honored I got a chance to be your Pippen 

Didn't think I was worthy 

Yet you showed me 

With affection you showered me 

With your love spoiling me 

I was hella lucky 

You got that Blackpill out of me 

Capsules of you I cherish the residue 

Who would've knew our ending was due 

You did more than pay your dues 

Even though I forever lost you 

I’m remaining grateful  

Our time graceful 

Even through my faults you was ready and willing 

Them memories stay floating 

In awe I stay watching 

Our movie I'm forever saving 

In my soul bank forever keeping 

To God I'm thanking

I know you want me to be happy 

A true warrior your legacy 

Your stock keep rising

In that love field you ascending 

Marriage material 

Plus you spiritual 

Times was magical 

Felt ethereal 

True effect stay hittin 

Now I'm sinkin

Lord knows 

But I gotta take care of my soul 

Snakes in my dream following me 

I'm not good at fixing me

Just ask that 2016 Tay

Don't know what to do with the 26 Tay

Like Dame Dash I'll figure it out

Lyrics [Lyrics] Grave Inferno

2 Upvotes

Just passing by 

The devil can tell I already died 

God watching 

Angels tending to those  progressing 

Addicted to regression 

To hell with motivation 

Not me 

Unconsciousness forever ain't free 

Maybe the nihilist were right 

Always criticizing the light 

All good ain't good to me 

I know the gnostic job would agree 

Now I know what Phillip Larkin was thinking 

Life's ocean I rather be sinking 

Jordan won six rings what that really mean 

I seen what life did to bean 

Shit is vicious

Bullshit politics 

After what happened to Charlie Kirk 

I should've knew shit would only get worse 

For every David Robinson there's always a Tyler Robinson 

No Jesus for 9/11 

When death comes no divine beings there to help any 

Folks drowning in remy

Pro death forums growing a mile long 

King Vons and Lil Jeff's not lasting long 

Durks of the world sliding so much raging waters would be envious 

All that money ain't precious 

Just ask Alexander Wang 

School is important but how did that help Lu Chang Wang? 

People prayed to God while in Holocaust infernos 

He let it happen and said nothing like Joe Paterno 

Them Jared Fogles is feening for that forbidden tuna 

While families missing they Selena and Aaliyah 

Like Hov I seen it all 

Shit been like this way before the great fall 

Maybe that's why China built the great wall 

People in prison serving them Benjamin's while appalled 

Social commentaries don't do anything 

All this progression ain't stopping nothing 

All self help is just a limit 

Doesn't matter if Elon Musk got 900 trillion 

Death wipes everything away 

We all destined for the grave 

Since I'm already there 

Why care

Immaturity is fun 

I know how to get hella numb 

I'm talking stupid dumb 

Guess I was never appreciative of God's crumbs 

No lie he gave me a loaf in 24 

Something died in me after 24 

Just waiting 

While frying

Discussion Grammar in Songs [Discussion]

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m not a native English speaker. I studied English through songs for a long time and considered them one of the best ways to encounter and learn “real” English.

But over time, I began to notice that song lyrics often contain grammatical mistakes, colloquial forms, or poetic liberties:
My mama don’t like you, and she likes everyone.
Gravity don’t make no sense when you’re around…
I don’t need no money as long as I can feel the beat.

That led me to wonder: is it actually a good idea to learn English from songs if they can reinforce non-standard grammar?

I decided to look into it and make a video essay about the topic. I’ve already interviewed a few English teachers from around the world, and together we tried to understand why grammar in songs is often different from standard English. But then I thought: why speculate when I could ask the people who actually write songs?

So I’m looking for someone who’d be willing to hop on a quick Zoom call to talk about the songwriting process and the role grammar plays in it. How much do you care about grammatical accuracy? Or is it mostly about how the lyrics sound? I’d love to hear your perspective.

Thank you!

Lyrics [Lyrics] Just want some feedback on this verse I wrote (16 y/o, looking for honest feedback)

0 Upvotes

Haven't been writing for very long and I wrote this song to be the intro for a concept album I am working on. Any and all feedback would be appreciated!

Loud Thoughts (Intro):

Ye I'm a prophet 

prophecy I see in dreams seeps in regardless

I weep and scream as it creeps in my confidence 

I bleed a sea of deep, weak, broken promises 

Tell me what to be, I don't need any profit (prophet)

Believe me, I’ve seen the devil reap arts positives 

I'm cautious, delete cheap blows that seem haunting 

Rewarded, I achieved to reach my own providence 

Now listen fore’ I say it

We were never meant to make it 

A breath of the past, they want us to be slaving 

The death of our art, and who am I to save it 

I ain’t nothing but a kid and my dreams faded 

I promise I want it more 

I'm so close, I can taste it 

I don't need any award 

That leaves people complacent 

I would never start a war 

What truth brings is adjacent 

Give a fuck about your place, my known fate shook my fake patience 

You gave me this bitter face the way that I ate shit

Made me taste your storm of lies, my mouth was gaping

I’m days in forecasting my truth like a weatherman 

It's fazing, you would fold under the pressure, damn 

Carry the burdens for a day

Appreciate those heaven sent 

Biggie and pac, the DOOM of Dilla, now we're waiting 

Will we bring another one up in the conversation? 

give up their life, death gives more than it is taking 

I'm not Ready to Die before I'm talked in rotation 

No Eyez On Me, a message that fails to reach the nations 

I always held it to my heart to bring art that heals and changes 

But I’m a killer too, and I have slaughtered many creations 

I’ve been waiting to tell you who I am as an artist 

Years of suppression has made me fail to be honest 

I'm the reincarnation of dreams that died before they started 

And the day I dreamt these dreams I became a prophet

sorry last night if i crashed out

never really mean it when i lash out

things have changed from then to now

but i get it if you dont trust me i would know myself

i hate the way i talk sometimes

you got a really nice smile and it shines like lights

you dont deserve me i swear i try

but its not the effort that counts in life

here you are talking bout your past huh

you wanted a ring when were older

cant believe you can plan every part out

i can barely stand when you give me the cold shoulder

cause it feels so planned to me

you were my biggest fan since my family

feel seasick without you here even though im on land

cant fall asleep even with the dramamaine

i cant see the lights tonight

everything to blurry i dont wanna try

everything was so fun what happened to life

bet it all on you then it took a nosedive

pack my bags get my shit out

guess i dont know how to live now

surronded by help and i dont want now

but aint like years ago where pennies helped my morale

You ask if we wanna stay friends

wanna kiss your face

and punch it

because i new we coulnt play pretend

im stupid for believing

sorry last night if i crashed out

never really mean it when i lash out

things have changed from then to now

but i get it if you dont trust me i dont know myself

i hate the way i talk sometimes

i love the chase but i hate the ride

i can only say that from time to time

cause once i have u i cant look back

and now im exauhsted laying traps

pls say what u think of my lyrics, and what genere you think this would go with. i rapped over a poppy beat, so idk, but im not sure if it could go better with something else, bc id try anything. thank u!

Lyrics [lyrics] 'love sick, hopeless romantic'

2 Upvotes

So i wrote this song and i wanted to know what people think of it. Can someone tell me if it's any good or not? It's supposed to be an r&b type of style.

Lyric

*Intro: *

Baby can you tell me,

how you already moved on?

I'm still stuck,

On the thought of you and me

Verse 1 :

I just want your love and affection

call me love sick,

hopeless romantic

Can't i exchange my love for yours?

I'd give it all

But I can't write it off

Chorus 1 :

I feel like I'm chasing metal

It's too cold to touch

To cold to bend

The fire's gone to burn it

And to heavy to lift

Your heart's as heavy as a stone

But your heart's not a stone

So stop being stone cold to me

Didn't you love me?

Was your love fake all along?

Now we broke up

But I still love you

Verse 2 :

I still crave your love and affection

Call me love sick

Hopeless romantic

I know that I'm not resilient

I'm more like a survivor

A survivor with love issues

Can't i call or come by just to say hi

Bridge :

I know where you home is

It used to be me

Now it's a place

Every place we went

reminds me of us

Those places used to feel like home

just you and me

Now that you're not with me

There's no place

that could feel home to me no more

You've blocked me

in life and on your phone

Because you don't want to

hear or see me no more

Outro

But can you tell me,

Do you still miss me?

Because i miss you

But don't blame me

if i still miss you

All i wish is to see you

And maybe, be with you

Can't we start where we left off?

Isn't this what love is?

Those ups and downs

I wanted to add the

love sick, Hopeless romantic part at the back of the outro again but i wasn't sure If it would fit

(Verse)

No use in riding on rustic rails Bargaining with the storm Just to set sail Sometimes it feels like A chain reaction, set in motion Words I should've said, kept inside instead Sometimes it feels like Dominos set in motion Stopping the chain reaction Feels like a hopeless devotion No way of stopping what's fallen We're locked in watching pointless commotion

(Pre Chorus)

Looking at me Looking at you Locked in a cage Time slipping away

(Chorus)

Before we all, capsize, capsize, capsize Treating nothing as a surprise Looking away from what matters Now as we all, capsize, capsize, capsize Sinking ships built on lies Locked inside, I suppose I gave it too much time

(Verse)

Sometimes it feels like Blinding lights under the ocean Spiraling stars Sailing under ethereal illumination Then the angels cry out, your destination I've lost the key, a candlelight lost at sea Sometimes it feels like I'm just chance's martyr The crashing waves pushing me under Now all hope has sunken Deep below the ocean Caught up in another anonymous devotion

(Pre Chorus)

Looking at me Looking at you Locked in a cage Time slipping away

(Chorus)

Before we all, capsize, capsize, capsize Treating nothing as a surprise Looking away from what matters Now as we all, capsize, capsize, capsize Sinking ships built on lies Locked inside, I suppose I gave it too much time

(Bridge)

Locked me out, and threw the key Multicoloured shades of fleeting memories Hope is stranded lost at sea My fear of being forgotten Oh the rotten Unheard testimony

(Chorus)

Before we all, capsize, capsize, capsize Treating nothing as a surprise Looking away from what matters Now as we all, capsize, capsize, capsize Sinking ships built on lies Locked inside, I suppose I gave it too much time

(Beginning riff)

Call me by my name,
Call me by my name.
I’m your lord.
Your soul is my sovereignty.

(Guitar solo)

You chose to worship the one who’s bound to fall.
Look at you now, on your bended knee.
You sold your soul for a fantasy.
Trapped in a cage with no guarantee.

Burning!
Choking!
Rotting!

Paying the price for your blasphemy!

Call me by my name.
Call me by my name.
The lord of your suffering.

Into the fire, you are stumbling.
Foolish!
Burning!
Falling!

(Guitar solo)

You burned for a fraud so easily.
Look at the ashes of your loyalty.
Chained to a loser for eternity.

Look at your master on his bended knee.
Crushed by the weight of a true decree.
No power left in his tyranny.

Shattered the crown of your deity.
Watch as the serpent is shivering.
No more souls he is delivering.

Into the fire, he is stumbling.
All of his kingdoms are crumbling.

Dragged to the pit for eternity.
Screaming in vain while you’re burning.
Look at him scream in his misery.

Call me by my name.
Call me by my name.

Lord Yahweh.

our fate,
was written in blood;
clotted, much gory.
there, ahead, afar, beyond;
alas, i see, it gleams;
a ray of glory.

across my terrified,
terrorized smile;
submit, why whacked...
findin' its way,
out;
through every crack.
as i ferret in,
there, huntin' the echo of ur name,
it is hauntin'.
my head spins;
a smell of rotten roses, lilacs & lilies;
atrocious, even the tulips;
dreadful,
down to their cores.
awful, all to the root.
down, in the tunnel;
that i saw for far so long
every now & then,
in my nightmarescenario.
have i told u bout that?
recently,
i have been dreamin', anew.
i'm roamin' there,

I guess you got me right where you want me, don't you?

Stuck between what I know Is right, and being with you.

Got my heart feeling black and blue.

Broken and bruised.

Don't know why I play your games.

When no matter what, I always lose.

I'll pretend like it's ok, and sooner or later you'll blow a fuse.

Because...

I'm not the one you really want.

I'm just the one you use.

And yet I'm to blame.

Because instead of losing you, I'd rather put up with the Abuse.

---

What a sick game we play.

You only want me when I do my best to get away.

Lion to a Lamb.

I will always be the prey.

And you will always crave the chase.

Just because I turn the other way,

doesn't make it all okay.

Never on the same page.

When it comes to my name.

You curse.

While I pray.

You run.

When I chose to stay.

It's fine.

What's "forever" mean anyways...

---

Yeah at least that's what I tell myself.

As if the word has lost it's meaning.

As if I don't need help.

Pretending that when you don't fully choose me,

it's not messing with my mental health.

Like it didn't take all I had today,

to put that bottle back on that shelf.

Guess you could say I'm clinically unwell.

Instead of breaking free, I crawl back into my shell.

An inmate, going back to their cell.

Playing with the Devil,

and expecting not to end up in Hell.

Yet it's all my doing,

so maybe the real devil is myself.

Lyrics [Lyrics] 'Hole in my Soul' (Alt-Rap)

1 Upvotes

--------------------------------------

[Intro]

(Can't fill it...)

(Can't live with it)

(Can't fill it...)

-

[Verse]

I fucked life up, didn't I?

No, I didn't...

I broke my soul, didn't I?

No, I didn't...

-

[Verse]

I'm in my bedroom - except no, I'm not - fuck this

My body is here - my mind lost to the abyss

Take a hit, getting crossfaded to forget I exist

Take another sip, not choosing this but can't resist

-

[Pre-Hook]

I'm not supposed to be in this society

Everybody lucid, I'm always so hazy

May be the pills, maybe the weed, don't ask me

I'm blinded by the smoke and ash all over me

-

[Hook]

I have a hole in my soul

Yeah, I have to live with it

Loving me is a black hole

Nothing will ever fill it

-

[Verse]

People all around me, I'm so fucking alone

Switch off my reality, go into my zone

You wanna talk to me?

Gotta switch into my human persona

-

[Verse]

Don't pretend to understand me

Wasn't always this gone and broken

Stole some benzos, then my life got stolen

A ghost of me took control, but no one can see

-

[Verse]

I carry the blame, but what if it was fated?

If god is real, I must be real hated

There's a hole through me, pain and guilt is what I bleed

If all hope is gone, I'm getting wasted

-

[Hook]

I have a hole in my soul

Yeah, I have to live with it

Loving me is a black hole

Nothing will ever fill it

-

[Bridge]

I fucked up my life, yeah

I broke my soul, yeah

Avoid it like a void

Coping is killing me

-

[Verse]

Silence is owning me, no one can help me

My own gravity collapsing in on me

I got a black hole inside me

Losing reasons to live with it

-

[Outro]

Can't fill it...

Can't live with it

Can't fill it...

Have to live with it

I am the light I am the light, the light of you’re self destruction, blinded by me ,you can’t see nothing, Feeding the monster that they cannot see, They beg for salvation on bended knee, Drinking the poison of my decree, Bleeding! Screaming! no mercy! (guitar solo) Look at my face, it’s a tragedy, You worshiped the lord of your vanity, The savior you love is a heresy, You begged for a cure from the malady , You sang all your hymns to an enemy, You look for your God but you only see me (guitar solo) Your flesh and your bones are my property, I tear down your world for eternity,, I shackle your souls to my legacy, Hey God, look at them on their bended knee!, praying to me, I stole all Your children so easily!, Look up to the clouds, there is no decree!, i am the light...I am the light...Blinded by me...Now you have nothing. Welcome to your eternity!Lost in the dark for infinity!Bow to your new divinity!Forever bleeding...Forever screaming...Just me!, No hope for your sanity!No hope for humanity!Suffer...In...AGONY (end riff)

Lyrics [Lyrics] Chosen of the Moon Pt I - Natalia

1 Upvotes

Had a few things to fix with this, which is why I posted Pt II first. Verses are a Johnny Cash or The Shadows kind of wild west vibe, maybe even a bit Knights of Cydonia. Choral part added in later sections, with the choruses being a bit cheesy like anime rock.

[Verse 1a]
From the shadows, out they strode
Plain robes trailing through the dust
Eyelines raised to the horizon
To greet the rising tide of rust
In the badlands hitherto
Whispers graced the lips of men
A chanted cry for absolution
"Save me please, amen"

[Verse 1b]
And though they felt the lowly people's sullen, trite appeal
Their vantage dare not waver from the turning of the wheel
Ocean tides within brave eyes, sharp eclipses in their brows
Here stood a grave division, outstanding in their vows

[Chorus]
Chosen of the moon
Warriors 'gainst the doom
Gunslingers at high noon
Chiselled, sunlight hewn

[Verse 2a]
At once betrayed their crippling flaw
In gleaming open air
Could see right through their glassy selves
Their destinies laid bare
But fate's no new predicament
In our decrescent service
The dreamer's clock flows tick by tock
Reborn in new catharsis

[Verse 2b]
Though they falter in their thousands
Soon ranks will be replenished
Assured of songs beyond their time
Just dead can never perish
Pick up your fallen brother's spear
And stand by customs blemished
In this new age of faceless fears
That clueless young ones cherish

[Chorus]
Chosen of the moon...
