Lyrical abortions Pt.2

Another lyric for y'all to read. Tentatively titled "The death of everything" but that may change. Enjoy!

I once saw the light of creation

It shone alone in you
I wish I could stay there forever
But such things always end
I once felt the touch of an angel
Consecrating the love in me
I long to feel that touch again
But the hand is withdrawn
And Love lies defiled


The Good has left this place
Remembrance, all that’s left
Walk these empty halls
I haunt these rooms, bereft

Grotesque conceptions raped my soul
And left it dying alone in the night

No reconciliation comes
With the golden light
That time is gone forever
It gave up hope, took flight

I once saw the heart of heaven
Within the face of my love
Still I dream of its glory
Yet dreams are all that remain
I once heard the song of rapture
Issue from their mouths
Yet my brothers now lay silent
And my sisters sing no more
I am alone

My truths have been revealed as lies
And I am naked before this cruel reality

Flights of maimed crows above me
As emptiness descends
Ever the bearer of misery
Even sorrow departs

I pray for love’s return…

Writing music and other assorted travesties...

Just wanted to say something about how I write a choon cuz I guess it's pretty unorthodox. Most people (that I know of) start with a guitar riff, then write a bass part, then work out drum patterns then finally comes the frilly stuff like keyboards and lyrics. I ALWAYS start off with lyrics. I'll write lyrics that have a nice flow when spoken (but no vocal patterns at all as there's no music). After that I'll set up a metronome, usually 4/4 at around 170 Bpm or 3/4 at around 70-80 Bpm and use the metronome as a guide while I try and come up with some bass stuff. If I write something nice on bass I'll try (badly) to think of cool guitars to go over it. After that I'll think of some VERY basic drum patterns and finally I try to jimmy the lyrics into fitting the rhythm and mood of the music. Kinda makes it harder on myself but meh...

Lyrical abortions Pt.1

Just thought I'd post up some lyrics I wrote for a song called "Lover's Facade." They are pretty dark and personal I guess but I'd love some feedback. I like these lyrics as they are among the simplest, most personal and honest things I've put to paper! Just imagine the music for this to be slow, slightly discordant and gentle in a sinister and evil way. So anyway, yeah, please have a read and give your honest opinion! =D

Welcome home

Time has not changed you
(Whilst I died)
So fine and mine
You’ll ever be
(My pain I shall give you)

Sleep now, my dear
I am here
(I’m your greatest nightmare)
I still love you
Still dream of you
(I’ll never forgive you)

We shall be eternal
Evergreen in heaven’s light
(And let the angels curse you)
Let us dance
Among the stars of gods
(And let them fucking burn you)
