A couple of weeks ago I tried to write a conceptual album about the end of the world. Shut up, if Trent can do it without drugs anyone can! All kidding aside, I wrote it in abour 3 or 4 hours, I don't even remember (except for the first one, I wrote it long ago but it fits very well imo). Most of the lyrics are still uncomplete, though. I know it's pretty long, but please read it if/when you have time and leave me some comments. I'd appreciate it. Stars I sit every night in front of my house And up through the branches I look at ths stars Are we alone? If we are then I don't wanna know Are we alone? If we are then I don't wanna know Guessing and dreaming, they burn in my eyes I've got only one question for billions of stars Are we alone? If we are then I don't wanna know Are we alone? If we are then I don't wanna know I sit every night in front of my house With only one question for billions of stars Are we alone? Stars tell me... Black Sky Over The White City Black sky over the white white city Everybody's scared but I find it pretty The morning's come but the night's not gone Radio says stay locked at home Nobody knows, no one wants to know Where in the world has the daylight gone For three days now the Sun is dead Radio tells us to stay in bed Will we ever see the sun again? Ignorance Is Bliss I don't watch my TV I don't go out at all I only sit inside my warm and pleasant home I don't know what's your name And I don't want to know I only know myself and that's all I need to know You may know a lot There's nothing you have missed But you will see in time kid That ignorance is bliss I don't think about future I'll see it when I'm there I'm stuck inside right here and now, for other things I don't care I forgot the words I cannot play my roll Today I found this out: there's no tommorow for us all A Secret Hey, my friend, can you keep a secret? It's been eating me inside for days I've gotta tell you right now But whatever you, don't tell anyone Hey, my friend, can you keep a secret? Cross your heart and I'll spell it out The world's not ready to know, not yet So whatever you, don't tell anyone Hey, my friend's not here today Suicide was his escape He couldn't bare to keep the truth Only for himself and not tell anyone The Taste Of Our Own Medicine I saw the Earth from outer space It's doesn't look like a peacefull place We need somebody else Or we'll destroy ourselves What goes around comes back around What goes around comes back around What goes around comes back around Now do you like the taste? I saw the Earth from deep within It's crying out loud from the pains it's in We need somebody else Or we'll destroy ourselves What goes around comes back around What goes around comes back around What goes around comes back around Now do you like the taste of your own medicine? You like to kill But you don't wanna be killed You like to destroy But you don't wanna be destroyed And now you say you're sorry And now you say you're sorry But you don't have to worry Cause now it's too late Of The Desperate They came to our land from somewhere far away And they'll kill everybody who gets in their way Run with your family, I'll take it from here Well give me a gun And I won't be afraid to shoot srangers Give me a gun And I won't be afraid to shoot srangers People are quiet cause they are afraid Why shouldn't I try when I'll die anyway I've got nothing to lose bitches, I'm not afraid Just give me a gun And I won't be afraid to shoot srangers Well give me a gun And I won't be afraid to shoot srangers Give me a gun And I won't be afraid to shoot srangers I'm going down But you know I'm not afraid to die Every Man For Himself The president said it's every man for himself New York is destroyed, London as well The riot, the riot The riot is moving on The president said there's nothing that they can do Go to your homes and wait for the doom The riot, the riot The riot has just begun The blood on the streets The pain in my eyes People are evil It's not a surprise Even now in the end At the gates of the hell Everything is the same It's every man for himself The Beginning Of The End It starts Within our hearts The very second we find out The end Is straight ahead And there is no way to escape It ends We have no chance Weak and unable to defend Grab Popcorn and sit Watch the beginning of the end Hand In Hand Sky can come crash down Falling on our heads But nothing really matters As long as you hold my hand People can just stare Laugh in our face And none of us will care Nothing can stop us now You and I We walk Hand in hand Forever You and I We walk Forever Hand in hand Trains keep passing by We sleep under the sun The more they seem to hate us The more we grow in one When the lights go out The beating of our hearts Will guide our way Nothing can stop us now Beautiful Say goodbye To your family and friends Say goodbye Cause we're at the very end It doesn't get Oh no it doesn't get... Fire in the sky And the water from the seas Come together now as one As the Earth begins to bleed It's beautiful So beautiful... It doesn't get Oh no it doesn't get more beautiful than this It's beautiful It's so beautiful I am not afraid this time Cause I am not alone this time It's beautiful We are beautiful As we die
I think it's really nice! I think Beautiful is appropriately titled, it's beautiful. I liked it the best...I can just imagine swaying to it, mmyeah. 'Every Man for Himself' has a lot of potential though, I don't know if you intend to keep it this way, but with a little tweaking it could really be more than awesome. 'A secret' is another really sweet poem. I guess those are my favourites. Are you planning to compose a tune to any of these? Because some of them will honestly sound amazing with a good tune...especially 'Of the desperate', that'd sound great with a somewhat millitary beat..but yeah, awesome work.
First of all thank you for reading everything. Actually, all of them already have a tune. I started "Of The Desperate" as a parody to Iron Maiden's "Afraid To Shoot Strangers", but then I turned out to sound great and I really like it. "Evert Man For Himself" needs some more work on it for sure but I guess I was too lazy to finish it. Thatks for the eleaborate comment, I'm, really glad you liked it
It was no problem, I honestly enjoyed going through the whole lot. Well, if you compose anything concrete, I'd love to hear it, I think it'll sound great. I haven't heard Afraid To Shoot Strangers, so I can't really imagine, but...yeah. Continue working on it, I'm telling you, it's worth it.
Damn dude!!! I think that your songs are really good... And I think that Beautiful is one of the best, but A Secret and Hand in Hand are BEST (for me). And I think that Black Sky Over The White City could be a song for Belgrade *Beo grad* (White City), but sky is blue over the "White City"... No really, for a work 3 or 4 hours long they are really good... Svaka cast brate, citao sam i ono sto si i pre pisao i stvarno je dobro...
Well yeah it is kind a reference to Belgrade, and the sky is black because the end of the world is coming Thanks for the comments people, it really means a lot. p.s. dobar sig
I thought so... "Beograde, sa nama i u nama živiš ti!!!!!!" p.s. što se sig-a tiče, malo patriotski, 'vamo-tamo
