I pity anyone who doesn't have dreams of their own, who lack the longing to test their limits, and those who simply give up and live up to the expectation of whatever bloodline begat them.
Human beings were meant to be individuals. To express themselves and find themselves. And those born with silver spoons in their mouths, wracked with guilt and their palates cloying with foods that are too rich and wasteful, who rally at their apparent uselessness and cannot accept their lot in life, nor FIND that lot but rather just swallow whatever life gives them...
Yeah. I don't envy you people.
A Megadeth-ish thrash/heavy metal riff and beat. Believe it or not the timing is perfect right out the gate, and when Anubis Unit gets around to doin' this puppy (or No Rhymes, whichever) it's going to hit HARD.
Enjoy, lemme know what you think, the usual fixin's on the side. In the meantime, time for steak!
There strides forth those misbegotten Godly Ones
Those chosen within the framework of existence
There goes forth those children of the Gods
Paying heed only to their unnecessary whims
All bow to those unfortunate souls
Silver spoons deep within their orifice
All pay heed to their gormless words
Even as the guilt tears them from deep within
There by the grace of God goes they who
Live only up to the expectations of others
See them march upon their straightened path
See them as they fall prey to their chosen ends
All bow to those unfortunate ones
Silver spoons damming their insufferable cries
All ignore their true dreams and drives
But all pay heed to when they fall
Success
Success
Success
Completely unbidden
Success
Success
Success
Absolute unforgiven
Success
Success
Success
Increase the drive
Success
Success
Success
Profit from their lives
You cannot stand the head if you've never been burned
You shall wither under the gaze of scrutiny
Deny your dreams and deny yourself and
Whether or not you decide from life unto death
All bow to those unfortunate chosen
Those who can never do wrong publicly
Silver spoons tie up their silver tongues
They're merely lucky, they're merely lucky
Some may be humbled and some may be without
Some must live only so others must die
There strides forth the haunted procession
Of those who dared to struggle against the tide
All bow down to those fortunate souls
To win forever is their desired goal
Silver spoons plot out their every step
How can you wonder that their life is ever anything
but good....
For them....
For us....
To prove....
To us...
The dream...
Cannot die...
It's there...
For only 9.99~!
YOU WATCH THEM ALL AS THEY LINE UP
YOU WATCH THEM ALL AS THEY FALL DOWN
YOU WATCH THEM ALL AS THEY MISUNDERSTAND
YOU WATCH THEM ALL AS THEY FOLLOW THEIR PLANS
YOU WATCH THEM ALL AS THEY LINE UP
YOU WATCH THEM ALL AS THEY'RE MISQUOTED
YOU WATCH THEM ALL AS THEY'RE BLINDFOLDED
YOU WATCH THEM ALL AS THEY SMOKE A FINAL CIGARETTE
(bridge)
There strides forth those unholy godless ones
They listen to no other advice but everyone's
There goes forth those oversensitized
Their palates choking on the whims of bad advice
All must bow to these chosen souls
The silver spoon a misguided council
All must know of their quoted words
Dripping with filth even as they scream for help
There by the grace of God goes all of us
Teeming and surging with money, the root of their problems
There goes what little privacy they had
In the search for the contentment they left behind
All must bow to these hungry ones
Silver Spoon starving them as it feeds
All must pay heed to their struggles
Even though their soul continues to bleed
Success
Success
Success
Never just settle
Success
Success
Success
Never test your mettle
Success
Success
Success
At any cost
Success
Success
Success
No dreams of their own
What good...
For them...
Content...
Nevermore...
Their dreams...
Set aside...
Never trusting...
Bloodlines...
The proof...
Their excess...
The baggage...
They never rest...
YOU WATCH THEM ALL AS THEY LINE UP

YOU WATCH THEM ALL AS THEY LINE UP
YOU WATCH THEM ALL AS THEY FALL DOWN
YOU WATCH THEM ALL POOR PATHETIC PLAYERS
YOU WATCH THEM ALL WHILE THEY SUCCUMB

Awesome! Jsut awesome! Love the lyrical content! Will it become a song?
ReplyDeleteIf I have my druthers, it will~! Namely with Anubis Uni, but we're busy just learning the 8 other songs for our first album.
DeleteTHIS puppy, though, is definitely for a second or third album. It's long, and currently is one of my longest songs - with vocals only, testing the timing and everything, it clocks in somewhere between 7 and 8 minutes. That's without solos, intro, outro, or bridge.
My second longest song is Why, but I'm saving that puppy for later - it's technically the closing song for the first album, Internet Terrorists, and a concert closer as well (at least, that's the plan).
Just gotta keep doin' work, y'know? But thank you VERY much for the commentary, lets me know if I'm hittin' the mark or not, y'knowwhatImean bro?
I totally agree with you... people should follow their dreams no matter what, and should never give up on them. Great lyrics!
ReplyDeleteIn-DEED! Thanks bro. This is definitely up there with longest song I've written (Singing wise, it clocks in at 7-8 minutes without even taking into consideration the outro, intro, or bridge - and the timing was good at that, needed practically no tweakin'), and should sound great when we get around to doin' it.
DeleteJust gotta finish up this first album worth of songs first though...
Excellent lyrics! I cannot say I disagree with any of those lines.
ReplyDeleteThanks! And yeah, those who have it easy and are consumed with guilt...reckon things are best when you gotta work for it, y'know?
DeleteMaybe I'm wrong, but methinks I'm right on this.
