Puck Slapping Maple Sucker Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 One morning a few months back, I wrote this after listening to Sabbath all night... Followed into the darkness for my trial Just another six-hundred and sixty-six miles Man with the black book begins to preach Pleading on his dirty knees Begging me to repent Only to prove my innocence For the lost souls who scream In the Empire of all Dreams Trial's over and the Empire has spoken On stand for his spells that I have broken Sentenced to eternal damnation All around they exploded in celebration Crushing madness slithers through me Dousing my mind with insecutirity As the wings rip through my back I Raise my shield prepared to attack For the lost souls who scream In the Empire of all Dreams Gliding off of the stand Showing them who I really am Taking on a new wave of evil For the salvation of my people Those not on my side beware Surrender is what you shall declare Those involved as I retaliated Will be destroyed in what they have created As the wings rip through my back I Raise my shield prepared to attack For the lost souls who scream In the Empire of all Dreams It makes no sense, it's a complete impulse write, but I was thinking of this as a middle story. Now I wanna add a beginning and an end between this, which will make it..... A Rock Opera. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Puck Slapping Maple Sucker Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 wow puck! thats cool! cant wait to read some more................. Thank you very much! Your work's great as well (especially Honeydew). Writing more to this will take time (especially since it's a middle story) and to me, writing into the voids between this is like writing one in between "The Empire Strikes Back".

zero Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 i'm not a lyricist or a writer of poetry. i just dabble in this stuff. this is some one of my more coherent things. i have a bunch of stuff that i wrote when i was out of my mind i can't even read through most of it. most is disturbing and sickingly painful. i wrote these when i started coming out of it a bit. death prayer power by my lips and hands from my darkness comes light i step into a bloody pentagram to be all i am is my birth rite i call unto the spirits i ask for us to have strength blood begins to drip i ask for us to not be meek we are to not be hindered our soul was made to smile of ancient cries remembered deliver us into our time the body is our bread give us hunger give us feast keep the jackals at bay give the dead in us death --------------- fight for flight raise my voice to a blackening sky angels descend remove the thorns from my side call to the sun to place the flames in my eyes feel the burning guide my way back to life this is my sacred time leathery wings mended a beast takes flight redemption is in sight begin of this cleansing pull me above the tide something calls pulls the black waters aside gives me passage from this cursed land of time bringing me out of these desert sands a promise of paradise lies ahead this is my sacred time nothing will fuck it up for me this time ---------------------- glass house up up up and away we've lost the days everything's betrayed all we can do is sing be the harbours of pain toss some stones break the glass float away ------------------- it's coming feel it slip up from behind wrapping around so tight hear it call out into the night know nowhere you're going to hide there lies something beyond your reach sparkly sharp and coming got hands around the jugular vein slice in deep into the meat i feel it vindicating i feel it annihilating i feel it empowering i want to share a piece it's the ending Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rafnagud9 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 treasures of darkness that's what you laid up for me riches stored in secret places but through this blind garden, they say you rarely rig the game though I know they are facetious and now I'm so much older my mind is moving slower and my heart's grown colder and my days are numbered yes, my days are numbered and all i really know is no matter where I lay my aim it seems I'm sure to miss as she's flying far away, singing follow your bliss and as I let my arrow fly on the wind she takes a twist and I hear her mocking me, with follow your bliss and then she bears her bloody mark and we seal it with a kiss and I think to myself there must be more than this there must be, more than this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rafnagud9 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 a beast in the paper, a star on the screen, the film at eleven will explain what it means books for the looks, the word seldom heard, the writing on the wall whispers love is a verb perception of the world is a fantasy created by a few it's a new reality all the world's a stage, it's one hell of a show, with Jackson in the rear and Franklin in front row fame is the game, it's a face to be seen, gotta get your picture on the Rolling Stone magazine perception of the world is a fantasy created by a few it's a new reality a christ on a cross, or a man on the moon, me thinks Elvis is alive, coming back real soon perception of the world is a fantasy created by a few it's a new reality Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rafnagud9 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 rather hard to understand, so hard to see just how we let each other down in this great society between the needy and the greedy, the former always pay thanks to the politics of power and the news of the day it's the same sorry story (some say the song remains the same) some children laugh, some children cry some children live, some children die some children starve, some children play say what you want to... nobody's listening anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rafnagud9 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 sometimes my lady can't figure out my kind she say we got troubles i say everything will be alright because there ain't no time to worry, not on a saturday night so let us laugh and party and dance 'til the morning light dance 'til the morning light Quote Link to post Share on other sites
babybluejeans Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) in some Forums, their TOS states that anything posted on the site becomes their property. I cannot find anything written here, but please let me know if the copyright does not remain with the writer. ok I'm gonna try this. I write poems, and lyrics to songs in different genres. they've been set to background music and put on cds; tweaked for flow -- well some of them are just too darn long! And not necessarily that they'd be good, but I had fun writing them a bluesy song: ♫ Soul Depleting Blues © Diane H. (spoken) You know Baby how the blues got started, and claimed by all the broken-hearted, blues begun when the first cheatin' man <sigh>, met the first lyin' woman, I ain't gonna lie! (sung) Sometimes you made me laugh, you made me cry, either way looked through tears in my eyes, remember me! didn't know where to start? you wanted me all at once, I fell for it real hard. Know I shouldn't intrude, eyes glued to you, it's rude, Just lust, lord...a keeper, ego stuff, not deeper, got them no good, cheatin', good for nothin' bleepin' soul depletin' blues. When we were dancin' on the wooden floor, oh you melted me right to the core, with penetrating eyes, but a disguise, and oh yes Baby, you even danced me to your door. Remember the night it was last Tuesday, my head went dizzy, you made me woozy, I'm wondrin' 'bout you, what was in your head, were ya makin' love to me? or someone else instead? Not even out the door, missin' you all over, know somethin's is brewin', gets my mind to stewin', got them no good, cheatin', good or nothin' bleepin' soul depletin' blues. See Baby, the blues ain't no rocket science! ready the fool needs your compliance, my love for you is alive and kickin', took alickin', livin' off love has been the dickens! Don't you worry 'bout me, really I'm fine! can't fall in love with you on my mind, guess I lie to myself, say...it's a crime! 'cause Baby, now that you're gone I don't give a dime! My heart went out to you, wanted me converted, I tried to divert it, had a mind all its own, got them no good, cheatin', good for nothin' bleepin' soul depletin' blues. Oh Baby, one more thing before I go, nothin' between us, but feelin' low, when it comes to you, got a one-track mind, devotin' words, wastin' my time, got no good, cheatin' good for nothin' bleepin' soul depletin' bloo-ooues, got them no good cheatin', good for nothin' bleepin', soul depletin' blues.

babybluejeans Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 a little upbeat pop: ♫ KING OF HEARTS © Diane H. I travelled up and down a road, through city town and country, I saw a billboard sign that read, your fortune told, you won't miss the money. I parked the car and went inside, my mind gobble-dee-gook soup, Ma'am Orchid said shuffle the cards, I never miss!, let me give you the scoop. Got to follow my heart but keep my head, remember the words my Mama said. Your past has been a winding trail, at times it all seemed unfair, the present's middle of intrigue, I see you're no worse for wear. Well all of that's behind you now, life's been speed bumps and bruises, compared to this, your future reads, will seem like midnight cruises. Got to follow my heart but keep my head, remember the words my Mama said. You've drawn the King of Hearts for him, male warmth, ardent, elusive, but he is loved by many, so you'll not have him for yourself exclusive. That suits me just fine I said, he's the answer to my question, for me I drew the Queen Of Hearts, and that was worth the price of admission. Got to follow my heart but keep my head, remember the words my Mama said. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
babybluejeans Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) I just had to mix a loud rock and roll one! ♫ RAISE THE ROOF! (at the concert) © Diane H. (spoken) You know... (cymbal sizzle, guitar burst, bass boom!) (sung) All those people outside there they don't know we're here but we're gonna show them we got our act in gear! We came her to rock the stage you came to rock the floor stand don't sit crack that whip I wanna hear you roar! ::clap/stomp:: raise the roof! (yah we're here to) ::clap/stomp:: raise the roof!

babybluejeans Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) i love the © how did you obtain it for your songs and how much did it cost? hi bouncing, The © symbol itself, I copied from a copyright website. Anyone's original work is 'automatically' copyrighted once pen hits paper or is written and/or composed in a tangible medium (song sheet, cd, etc.) so it is your right by law to use the short form symbol without cost or ever having to register the composition. It indicates that you are claiming ownership on original lyrics and/or music, etc. and prevents anyone from copying your work, intentional modification, or claiming they are an "innocent infringer"; that they didn't know the work was protected. It's up to you if you will allow modifications of your work, retain all rights to your work, retain partial rights, or sell all rights (exclusive/non-exclusive). Although publication is not necessary, once it's published on paper, cd, etc.; or 'published (written) to the internet', it should include the notice of rightful ownership and year it was written (or the date on the song/music website, blog, forum, etc.). The best copyright notice for a composition is: Copyright © year, Copyright Owner's Name. All Rights Reserved or ARR. In the US, if you choose an online company website to copyright your work for you, fees may start at $69/year US for 5mg of space reserved for your submissions; or up to $30 or $50 US for each piece they register. They file the Copyright Forms at the Library of Congress for you. (or Do It Yourself website at: copyright.gov.) You may want to consider a website affiliated with intellectual-property attorneys in your country who can help you with contracts. A website like "directlegal" can copyright your songs for the fees above. A website like "TAXI" provides opportunities for record deals for a fee of $5 for each song and $300 for a 1 year membership. In my country, I submit the lyrics and/or music sheets to the CDN Song Vault. Also, I can register songs by placing them on a cd and sending it in. The fee is $15.00 flat administration for 1 submission of up to 12 songs + $5.00 for each song or lyrics. "works in progress" can also be registered. Here, we also have a copyright collective (SOCAN), free membership, who administers the performing rights (royalties) for 80,000 composers and many media compositions.

led_zep_girl_92 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 My very first try, i was fiveteen, and that one was inspired by a trip to Hastings, a small english town right to the coast: I wish I`d be a seagull Just the sea and me I wish I`d be a seagul I`d be totally free My wings would take me everywhere, Nothing I`d need to care about Not just one tiny little doubt Torturing my head I`d just fly with the coastwinds, Far, far away (2x) I wish I`d be a seagull Just the sea and me I wish I`d be a seagull I`d be totally free The strong blowing winds would keep my mind clear Nobody´s annoying, nobody comes near And the only thing that I`d hear Are the sounds of those mighty waves sorrounding me I wish I`d be a seagull Just the sea and me I wish I`d be a seagull I`d be totally free So tell me, why I ain´t a seagull? Why am I not totally free? Why do I just have to be me? I ain´t a seagull! I ain´t a seagull! Why can´t I just be free? Why can´t I be a seagull? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
