Lyrics from Zero (Fin)


Zero

Recommended Posts

Hooray! This first song is the first song on a new concept i'm currently working on. If you followed my fanfiction trilogy, you may recognize alot of the subject matter I plan on going over. Keep in mind, these are all rough drafts, and not completed songs.

 

 

First up:

 

Our Story, Legend

It was a cold mid-year afternoon

The sound of bombs falling on the dirt

Sons and brothers, all are dying soon

Lost to the unnecessary war

 

Advanced weapon systems ready

This uncivilized and dirty world

Mr. Gunner, keep your finger steady

On the godless savage men

 

[chorus]

Sinners, blasphemers, this is what we are

Unaware that we've been doing any wrong

Judged by the laser-hand of their furious, angry god

The woman and children too, they have charged us all

 

We've done nothing against your king

Only curious of your kind

Repaid with death and the sorrow that it brings

Our demise promised with the reunion with your divine

 

We know the one true path

Your children will be taught the same

We will burn all reference of your past

And give you respectable names

 

[repeat chorus]

 

The foul air now recedes

New identities are embraced

We fight your wars from sea to sea

Our past hidden in a legend

To remember what we faced.

 

 

-------

 

I always hope my lyrics relate to people, so let me know what you think it is about. I'll put my meaning in small type.

 

This song is about intolerance of religion. The type of people who believe that only their religion is the one true religion. It reflects on the Native and African Americans in this country who have had their religion taken away and now 'fight our wars' while at the same time, remembering their heritage. Giving respectable names refers also to the aforementioned races and also immigrants of all nationalities who had their names changed when they came to this country. In short, this song is about religious prosecution and the cruel methods of Americanization.

Interesting no doubt. I actually like it a lot, though its generally not the kind of music I would choose to listen to. Do you have an like music for it? I'd be interested in a copy of that so I could hear what it sounds like, even though this is just a rough draft.

 

If you ever to put it to music, send me a copy of it, I'd enjoy hearing what it sounds like.

I have some music written for it, but unfortunately, i don't have my pedal, and thus can't record anything. I will make sure to post what I can when I can. I can PM you a link to my band's myspace to give you a vague idea of the music we play, if you're interested.

 

 

A New Generation

I roam from place to place

Seeking the unknown

Searching for a family

That I could call my own.

I've been roaming for so long

Brothers and sisters gone

Bright new day, a new bed tonight

My search continues

Mu future comes in sight.

 

[chorus]

My life changed on this day

For the better, or for the worst

I cannot say.

To befriend a stranger

To find the answers

Changed forever

Changed forever

 

I was no older, as I recall

Then this girl I was to protect

It was in her mother's will, that's all

To be protected from a frightening world

A place with such evil and promise in the stars

A nice big house

Grand walls that recluse

Not a soul to share it with,

Or someone to give in to

 

[repeat chorus]

 

A slight transition

Oblivious to her nature

Choke back my ambitions

Is this place my future?

 

His blood is on my hands

An attempt to hurt the girl

Shot down in a blaze of fire

To befriend a stranger

My life was saved today

To befriend a stranger

Everything is turning gray...

 

[repeat chorus]

 

-----------

 

This one is the introduction of the protagonist. For as long as he can remember, he's had no family and goes from job to job while trying to find them. His next job changes everything for him though. He meets a stranger and receives the job to be her bodyguard. While on the job, he kills a man and his life is saved by the antagonist, the other stranger. The main character feels strangely drawn to the woman, but keeps himself from getting close. I'm not happy with the second verse, and need to find a better way to describe that part of the story in lyrics.

 

 

 

 

Lord of Deception (Part 1)

A guardian of great promise

Your friend should be dead

Overtaken by reckless intent

Be mindful of your words

I know your secrets.

 

An instrument for my ends

An ally and student

To carry on my plans

 

--------

 

This could be considered an interlude. It's not designed to be very musically intense. The antagonist has a conversation with the woman the main character is protecting. He explains that main character is lucky to be alive after the gunfight with the man he killed.

 

The woman doesn't like his tone, but he tells her to watch what she says, or he will tell the protagonist something she wishes to keep secret. The antagonist plans to mold the main character in his image to achieve his evil goals.

Healing Nature

I'm lying right here, staring away

I can't find the strength, to speak what I say

My head's banging forward

Back and back again, it's taking me away

Of such healing nature, it's taking me away again

Fighting for this cure, it's taken me over again

 

[chorus]

And we lie to our heads

Yet we'll die in our beds (of such healing nature)

Now the light's getting colder

And the night's almost over

We will fall into it again

 

Now the time has come upon us

Sealing the wound with a chord

We fall into darkness

Our sanctuary of peace

 

I'm falling outside and I can't figure out

This insanity, this brightness and vanity

I've fallen down, and it picks me back up

It sets me back on my feet and dusts me off

 

[repeat chorus]

 

And the night's almost over”¦

And the sky's getting older”¦

We will fall into it again.

And the night's almost over

And the sky's getting older

We will fall into it again

 

And we lie to our heads

Yet we'll die in our beds

 

[solo]

[repeat chorus]

 

And we'll lie

And we'll die

The sun's getting colder

The fire is slower

It's taken me over again

 

-----

 

In it's most simplest form, this song is about music, and the healing properties it can have. Head banging forward and sealing the wound with a (guitar) chord are the most explicit references. At this point in time, the main character is in a coma.

 

 

Lord of Deception (Part 2)

Time to wake up, it's a beautiful day

Mr. Guardian, it's a wonderful day

No need to speak, I know what you need

To finish your work, but I disagree

Come with me and you will gain much more

Wealth, power, and adoration galore

 

An instrument for my ends

An ally and student

To carry on my plans

 

I can't live unknowingly

Of what could have been

I can't go, surely you must see

I must stay here, to continue my search

 

Our paths were meant to cross

One day you'll see.

The fortunes you've declined

Next gloomy day, when you find me

You'll be wise to change your mind

 

An instrument for my ends

An ally and student

To carry on my plans

 

------

 

The main character comes to and is greeted by the man that saved his life. He knows what my goals are, but insists I come with him instead. He does not take well to rejection.
