I have 3 songs that i considder adding to the contest, but i think i'll deel with just 1.
Falling From Hevin.
This is 1 of 3 versions of Falling from Hevin, in which all 3 of us band members in my band wrote.
This is my version. and since nothing's been done with it, i decided to enter this song in to the contest.
This version is about some one who's found a girl and they both fall in love with eachother.
Falling from Heaven.
Verse 1.
As I stand on the corner.
She was standing right there.
A young girl who’s so pretty.
With sun shine in her hair.
I knew then that I want her.
And I knew she felt the same.
With a smile that’s so charming.
She was all myne to clame.
Chorus.
She had fallen from Heaven.
While I’ve risen from Hell.
I have never known such loving’.
Good or bad I can’t tell.
But the one thing I remember.
Is the love that we share.
And the world can shatter round us.
Either way we don’t care.
Verse 2.
I remember when I held her.
So tightly in my arms.
I knew then we’ll be doing fine.
And would come to no harm.
Now we will be together.
Till death do us part.
Either way I’ll always love her.
With all of my heart.
Chorus.
She had fallen from Heaven.
While I’ve risen from Hell.
I have never known such loving’.
Good or bad I can’t tell.
But the one thing I remember.
Is the love that we share.
And the world can shatter round us.
Either way we don’t care.
Instrumental.
Verse 3.
She was myne for the taking.
And I’m hers by all right.
As we lay in a tight embrace.
Making love through the night.
Now she had banished all suffering.
That I’ve endured for so long.
I knew then what I knew right now.
That nothing could go wrong.
Chorus.
She had fallen from Heaven.
While I’ve risen from Hell.
I have never known such loving’.
Good or bad I can’t tell.
But the one thing I remember.
Is the love that we share.
And the world can shatter round us.
Either way we don’t care.
Verse 4.
Now as the Days do grow shorter.
And the nights do grow long.
We will live in piece and harmony.
For that’s where we belong.
Now we will be together.
Till death do us part.
Either way I’ll always love her.
With all of my heart.
Chorus.
She had fallen from Heaven.
While I’ve risen from Hell.
I have never known such loving’.
Good or bad I can’t tell.
But the one thing I remember.
Is the love that we share.
And the world can shatter round us.
Either way we don’t care.
Instrumental.
Fade out.
And i agree to the terms and conditions above.

Okay,please write your other songs!
Note: This is not actually a contest, it is just a song lyric suggestions board.

OK.
This song is called Armageddon. I wrote it over a year ago, and it's a crowd favourite at most of our gigs.
This is much darker than the first one.
For a long time now, I’ve been very interested in the time of the Black Death epidemic of 1347 to 50 and other break outs in following centuries till 1665. during those times, the population had suffered a huge loss of life from these out breaks. In the first epidemic of Europe alone, 20000000 people had died.
I have had the idea of writing a song about the black death, but I didn’t do anything about it until October 2006, when I started writing the lyrics out. I was determined to look at certain societies like the democracy, general population, the church, and business that were effected by this fatal tragedy. However there were certain things like the Jews being punished for crimes they didn’t commit, or how the pope survived the outbreak but the king of England’s daughter didn’t, that I would have to leave out.
Armageddon.
Verse 1.
The plague has swept across the land, claming the lives of most.
Family’s dead, Friends in mourning, cities full of ghosts.
The horseman of the apocalypse, will strike down those at will.
Creditors will be liquidised, for no one can pay their bills.
Verse 2.
The smell of death is in the air, fear spreads like wild fire.
Remedies fail in time of need, death tole is rising higher.
So many people die every day, though a hand full still survive.
Survivors hide from the infected , in fear for their own lives.
Verse 3.
The priests are praying for redemption, but praying’s a useless cure.
Religion is no true protector, the truth is simple and pure.
The people never give up hope, though their futures do look bleak.
Deliverance from their evil ways, and redemption do they seek.
Verse 4.
people whip themselves in city streets, in hope for deliverance at last.
But what they do not realise, they spread the plague too fast.
Plague pits are everywhere, where the rotting corpses stank.
From Kings and queens to peasant folk, the pestilents knows no rank.
Verse 5.
The pits remain to this very day, though the dead are now long gone.
This tragedy is in the past now, and that’s where it belongs.
Those are times of tragedy, that we could not forget.
Now a days we have medicines, to protect against this threat.
All of the lyrics to this particular song was my responsibility, and like i said above, they've all ready been put in to a song. if you want to hear the song, go to
myspace.com/beyondblack69
I'm not going to enter the 3rd song, cause it's got offensive language and you said no offensive language in your preceeding poasts.
And like the last song, i accept the terms and conditions.

## Post 6 by Drummerdaniels (Generic Zoner) on Friday, 18-Jan-2008 17:15:15

Oh and i venture to add, I know the plague hit everywhere as well as europe, but i'm basing the song in europe to give it an exact location.

I agree to the terms.
This is a song about someone's lover and her fight to save them but failing. note, the next few songs are rather dark. they aren't very long but I like them.
Bleeding Crimson
By Ashley Gorzelany
I see you falling,
A fallen angel,
I hold you crying,
I hold you bleeding
You scream for love,
You bleed for love,
I saw you bleeding crimson,
I can see you bleeding crimson,
You said you wouldn’t leave
He took my love,
I take my life,
I heard you scream,
I watched you fall,
You knew he’d come,
But still you waited,
In my memory,
A silver blade crashing
I saw you bleeding crimson
I can see you bleeding crimson,
You said you wouldn’t leave,
He took my love,
I take my life,
I can see you bleeding crimson,
You said you wouldn’t leave,
He took my love,
I take my life,
You know I’m bleeding crimson

Next, just a song about someone's worst nightmare.
Nightmares
By Ashley Gorzelany
Darkness is calling
It’s time to die,
Come with me,
Into your Darkest nightmares
Surrender to me,
Your Fears and demons,
Heart bleeding,
Soul tearing,
Body embracing,
Pain is your nightmare,
Red eyes are staring
They’re hungry,
Thirsting for blood,
The hunt is on
In your nightmares
Heart bleeding,
Soul tearing,
Body embracing,
Pain is your nightmare,
Hell is your escape,
Agony is your destiny,
Heart bleeding,
Soul tearing,
Body embracing,
Pain is your nightmare,
I’m in agony

I don't know what to say about this, I just wrote it when I was bored.
Ghosts In My Dreams
By
Ashley Gorzelany
Life slips away,
Death is becoming,
Voices call to me,
It’s time to die,
There are ghosts in my dreams,
There’s ghosts in my nightmares,
Someone save me,
Blood red ice,
Flaming hate,
Oh my love,
What have I done,
There are ghosts in my dreams,
There’s ghosts in my nightmares,
Someone save me,
Life is slipping,
I’m dying,
You’re crying,
Why Should I care,
There are ghosts in my dreams,
There’s ghosts in my nightmares,
Someone save me,

A song about a person falling into madness
Diamond Eyes
By
Ashley Gorzelany
I embrace you my Heavenly angel,
Your hands gripping, clutching at my soul,
My heart is bleeding in your hand,
My destiny is calling
I can see my fate in your diamond eyes,
They’re haunting me,
My soul is breaking out,
Oh gods I’m dying,
My world is crashing down,
But still I see them,
I can’t stand it,
My destiny is here,
I can see my fate in your diamond eyes,
They’re haunting me,
My soul is breaking out,
Oh gods I’m dying,
The sky is falling,
The ground is flaming,
I don’t look back,
Less I see those diamond eyes
I can see my fate in your diamond eyes,
They’re haunting me,
My soul is breaking out,
Oh gods I’m dying,

Another song about death
Evanescence
By
Ashley Gorzelany
I hold you close,
The love of my life,
I don’t ever want to lose you,
But you’re gone,
You’ve vanished right out of my sight,
Your life taken too soon,
My heart grieves for you,
You were the love of my life,
I hold you,
An empty shell,
Icy cold and still,
Blood everywhere,
You’ve vanished right out of my sight,
Your life taken too soon,
My heart grieves for you,
You were the love of my life,
Seeing you lay there deathly still,
My heart is in my eyes,
Your ashes scattered over the endless see,
The picture of beauty just like you,
You’ve vanished right out of my sight,
Your life taken too soon,
My heart grieves for you,
You were the love of my life,

Someones waking dreem, or is it a nightmare...?
Bitter Sweet Dreams
by
Ashley Gorzelany
The rain is falling,
Falling like my soul shatters,
As the small drops hit the cold ground,
The tears start to fall,
Is this a waking nightmare,
When will this end,
I live for pain,
I die by pain,
It's a bitter sweet dream.
Pain is my comfort,
Stabbing, slashing unrelenting agony,
My life blood spills before my eyes,
Death is becoming,
Is this a waking nightmare,
When will this end,
I live for pain,
I die by pain,
This is a bitter sweet dream,
The screams are haunting,
The pain is relentless,
Bodies are broken,
Except for me,
Is this a waking nightmare,
When will this end,
I live for pain,
I die by pain,
I'm living a bitter sweet dream

A song about a vampire
Crimson
By
Ashley Gorzelany
Crimson,
Flows threw our veins,
Crimson,
The life blood of souls,
Crimson,
Creator and destroyer,
Crimson dream or bloody nightmare,
Creatures of the night surrounding,
Winged assailants screeching,
Evil laughter in my head,
This is a waking nightmare,
Oh my god this is a waking dream,
Crimson,
Flows threw our veins,
Crimson,
The life blood of souls,
Crimson,
Creator and destroyer,
Crimson dream or bloody nightmare,
Bleeding, breathing, living no more,
Falling, falling, falling forever,
lay me down to sleep,
Let me live no more,
Needle sharp pain breaks me,
Vampires are my crimson end,
Screams are the song of a lost soul,
Crimson,
Flows threw our veins,
Crimson,
The life blood of souls,
Crimson,
Creator and destroyer,
Crimson dream or bloody nightmare,
I am a vampiric bleeding soul,

My favorite. a song about the elements of life and death
Death Dealing
By
Ashley Gorzelany
I am Wind, I am Water, I am earth, I am flame,
I am life, that is all I am and ever will be,
Darkness is rising,
Death is calling to me,
I am a slave to him,
Life, free and untamed,
I am Wind, I am Water, I am earth, I am flame,
I am life, that is all I am and ever will be,
Light washes darkness away,
Darkness banishes all light,
Wind whispers in an ear,
Water churns under foot,
Earth is always changing,
But fire is Free and will never be enslaved
I am Wind, I am Water, I am earth, I am flame,
I am life, that is all I am and ever will be,
Death calls to me,
I am flame,
The creator and destroyer,
I belong to no one,
I am the living essence of life,
I am Wind, I am Water, I am earth, I am flame,
I am life, that is all I am and ever will be,

I relate a lot of my songs to death, I just realized that now!!
Black Fire
By
Ashley Gorzelany
Darkness consumes a soul,
Fire is integrity and perseverance,
Black fire is the absents of mind and soul,
Feelings stirring below the surface,
Things we wish to forget,
Memories we want to remember,
Dreams and memories, that's all we have.
Purity is life,
Life is having something to live for,
Black fire is having no reason to live
Why do people loose their wills to live?
It is because fate has dealt them a blow in which they do not want to recover,
Everyone has something or someone to live for
Black fire is a concept not a person's soul,
Black fire is death.

I sat up watching the full moon one night and this just came to my head.
Midnight
By
Ashley Gorzelany
Darkness is the absence of light,
There is always light in darkness no matter how small,
Even at midnight there is light,
The silvery moon,
Midnight is intimidating,
People screaming,
People dying,
Voices crying,
Crying for those the merciless darkness has taken,
Darkness is death,
Death is the absence of life,
Life after death is something wished for always,
Life from death,
Death from life,
It is an endless circle,
Midnight is the great equalizer,
Midnight is a vision of a world with out life, with out light,
Midnight is darkness,
Darkness is all around us,
Moon shine glitters on a snow covered ground,
Turning it into a silvery white wasteland of death,
Midnight is the great equalizer,

Last one!
a phoenix and a wolf, total opposites, or are they...?
Red Heat Phoenix
By
Ashley Gorzelany
Born by flame,
Die by flame,
Stars shatter,
Life fading
A red heat phoenix,
Life flashes,
Flames grow higher,
Lover dying,
losing everything,
Rising again,
Phoenixs crying, dying
Phoenix ashes scatter,
Born by flame,
Die by flame,
Stars shatter,
Life fading
Red heat phoenix,
Lunar walker,
Night crawler,
Fear the light,
Fear the flight,
Follow Kins,
Follow kins to the land of freedom
Wolf and phoenix,
Total opposite,
Forever the same,
Born by flame,
Die by flame,
Stars shatter,
Life fading
Red heat phoenix,

This song is all about some one who looses a loved one, and although he - she greaves for his - her loved one's passing, he - she knows that she must carry on with life.
Ashes to Ashes.
By Nick Daniels.
Verse 1.
It’s been Such a long long time, since you’ve passed away.
The house feels empty my heart feels cold.
I wish I could have you hear, To keep My pain at bay.
But time goes by and i’m feeling old.
There’s no one who cared about me, .The way you always do.
It’s been so hard, I can’t help missing you.
Chorus.
Ashes to ashes, Dust to dust.
I can’t go on, but I know I must.
Then I was happy, now I’m so alone.
It’s been so hard being on my own.
Verse 2.
I dream of you every night, asleep by my side.
In times like this I feel at piece.
But when I awake each day, The fealing would die.
I live in pain from constant grief.
Though I know that life must goe on, The grief is oh so real.
No one can know, the pain that I do feel
Chorus.
Ashes to ashes, Dust to dust.
I can’t go on, but I know I must.
Then I was happy, now I’m so alone.
It’s been so hard being on my own.
Instromental.
Verse.
Soon I will be with you, in that home in the sky.
Where the pain of grief will be washed away.
Till then I must carry on, And live out my life.
For life is a game That I must play.
Though it’s hard to carry on, I knew you’d want me too.
I will go on, and some day I will come through.
Chorus.
Ashes to ashes, Dust to dust.
I can’t go on, but I know I must.
Then I was happy, now I’m so alone.
It’s been so hard being on my own.
Repeat.
