Okay, Valefor and I have the floor today, as in we both have until midnight, give or take an hour with consideration to timezones, to post our lyrics. He and I have a special agreement to write two sets of lyrics in order to show what this tourney permits (Basically anything). But, when Saturday comes around, that's when the voting can begin. Please, comment all you like, BUT WAIT UNTIL AFTER VALEFOR AND I POST OUR LYRICS!! PLEASE. That means no posting in THIS thread until me and Valefor post our lyrics. Alright.


Sidenote: Valefor, expect to see my stuff around 9pm my time, CT US, which is 7 hours from now. Post whenever, or pop online then, and post after me if you like. I don't care how you do it.

Sidenotept2: Daniel, if this topic gets out of hand, you can move it, but remember this is a lyricist tourney for Death, Black, and Thrash enthusiasts. So try not to give us Das BOOT while it still applies. ; P

Reminder: Nvrmind.

REMINDER/EDIT!!!: Gast and Metalhead are next. Sorry sorry sorry for the confusion. Dead Machine and Skaldr are Tues/Weds.

Alright, here are mine (PLZ excuse typos, I'm drunk as hell):

Number one

Song name: Knowledge

Would you wait like me? he asked
And though the moment lingered
I could not quake, spill or banter
Though I tremble to carry what he gave

The thing I desired most,
Now past unto me
A fate not desired by man!
Blasphemer!

Candles, dim now, they flickered
Then faltered, and then
He was gone, My newfound master
Wrenched and past

A flicker, but not brief
His passing, punishment
I saw the master's face
In the lightest moment of the candle

A gruesome death molested his demeanor
Into a FOREVER SHRIEK!
1000 years decayed in a moment, and yet
This was relief

His candles died, Mountain side
I wanted to be him, Wished I could be him
But I was alone.

Could I journey back the path I'd come
So much was lost
Knowledgewas destroyed
In the moment I gained

The teachings I must share
Rigors I'd bore finding he, NOTHING compared
This journey I'd bear once more
His fate would be mine too.

Twisting in the wind, my scowl straightened
I wound not be found, I'd find them
Find someone to carry this with me
To let me go like I'd let him

Someone else found it, But I found them
Why was I implicated with such knowledge?
In my next intimate moment with a human
I'll tell what I found

May I rest in peace after that.


Number two:

Shitshit shit

Uhhh... heh, well I had a whole scenario set for a song called, "Hello, Dominos? Can I get a CUNTGRINDER SUPREME?!?!? LOL", but my bro called, and he's in fucking hell right now, obviously drunk like me, and I have to be with him right now. I apologize to valefor for this, and please feel free to vote against me for not doing 2 sets like I said I would, but this may be life and death. Once again, sry. See you on the other side (But, hopefully not!!!!) Shit. Gtta go. bye.

PS: Goodluck in the voting Valefor

Best of luck to you as well, my friend...
and the two-example option was just that; an option.
Now vote!

Wow... perhaps this is the most cliched thing possible to say in such circumstances, but it also extremely appropriate: These are both excellent and it's very hard for me to decide. I think if V had entered the zombie one as an official competitor I'd go for him straight away because- lowbrow zombie movie worshipper that I am :oops: - it's one of the most enjoyable poems I've ever read. Right down to the authentic use of Fulci-esque "Zombi" spelling.

Plus, there are some awesome lines in his stuff: especially "Crimson sunset drowns the world in shadows,
as twilight bleeds from the sky"

Lovely!

However, I think my vote goes to OFC, because his poem leads me to believe it's about something very profound that I cannot quite put my finger on, and wish to know more. So, after much deliberation,

I vote OFC.

A tough decision! I liked them both a fucking lot (and my crappy forest hymns are worthless now). I will vote Val, because his lyrics are a little bit more accesible for me, and I like the dark tone of especially the second ones.

By the way OFC, I liked the first 4 lines of your poem the best out of what's posted here now. The first 4 lines are AWESOME!!

Both are great but i'm gonna vote for Valefor. But nice job both of you guys.

i vote for OFC's lyrics. don't get me wrong both are awesome but i like this guy's better - maybe because they sound insightful and a bit lost horizonish to me - good luck to both of you.

I have to go for Valefor, no offense to OFC, his were good too. Just not AS good, y'know what I mean?

Post subject: 

I reckon I am to tally up the votes... I count OFC = 2, Me = 5...
everybody in agreement?
V.
p.s.
Hails to OFC, your lyrics were quite good, and a worthy opponent.

It's not midnight over here yet.
My vote: Valefor

Post subject: 

I may be mistaken, but I am pretty sure the voting for this round is over...
I thought Saturday at midnight was the deadline; again, perhaps I am mistaken.
On the other hand, if people want to copntinue voting, I see no reson why they shouldn't unless OFC has any objections... it's his brainchild after all.
Edit: I suppose the different time zones make the deadline a little tricky...
