As some of you may have known, I started the band about 6 months ago, and I've been working on lyrics for songs. Right now we have about 6 out of the 7 needed people for the band, so I'm starting writing the first album. I dunno when we'll go public, probably in a couple of years, but I'd like to show you all one of the songs that definitely will be on the first album.
It's called "Antagonist" and it's about someone who tries his best to help everyone, and for some reason he's labelled bad, despite all of his good-doings. (E.g. the reason for the name "Antagonist".)
Enjoy and tell me what you think ^_^
Antagonist
By Garrett Luttrell and Bloodmoss
Arrest my life. Hand me over to the parasites.
Arrest my life. I’ve been trying to help you but you’re just too blind to see through the haze of society.
Condemn my life. Hand me over because I’m a victim of pride.
Condemn my life. Because you believe it to be a work of the true divine.
Pretend I’m right, then turn your back on me and accuse me of various crimes.
Fake the fright, then swing around and stab with the knife. It’s not like I’ll put up a fight, and that’s what you f*ckin know!
What a mortal sin I’ stuck with, and it’s not even my own so f*ck it. I’ve got the right to know the dereliction, and why I’m being pinned down and handed a conviction!
I’m not your savior, but I’m definitely not your Satan! Is it my blood that you’re cravin’ or is this just for the hell of it? I just don’t know what it is I’ve done, or what has begun!
Maggots crawl and weave through my wounds, festering so soon.
Rot inside my own prison, but I don’t know what’s keeping me in.
You can’t see the truth here, because I’m not the one you’re looking for.
But I’ll let you leech glory off of me, I’ll be your whore!
Shine the light in on me, I need to know the f*ckin stipulation.
I’ve got the right to see my executioner, need to know the verdict, need the predestination!
Can you hear the sound of hysteria? Yes, that’s me, the one going insane over what has been decreed. Because I’ve been the one to guide you all through your nightmares and into the light, and what you still see me as is the killer that stalks you in the night!
Maggots crawl and weave through my wounds, festering so soon.
Rot inside my own prison, but I don’t know what’s keeping me in.
You can’t see the truth here, because I’m not the one you’re looking for.
But I’ll let you leech glory off of me, I’ll f*cking be your whore!
Ignorance, no repentance, stainless, I’m f*ckin honest, I’m immaculate, see I’m spotless, guilt-free is me, righteous yet stoned, sacred and disowned, can’t you see I’m not malicious, unblemished, unpretentious, decorous, virtuous, can’t you see I’m innocent?
No! F*ck no will I let this go! I’m the victim, not the predator and I will not be blamed, no I will not be ashamed!
Maggots crawl and weave through my wounds, festering so soon.
Rot inside my own prison, but I don’t know what’s keeping me in.
You can’t see the truth here, because I’m not the one you’re looking for.
But I’ll let you leech glory off of me, I’ll f*cking be your whore!
What can I do more? What can I do more? Gods grant me the ability to put up with the pain I’ll endure! Oh…antagonized!
I like it, wouldn't mind hearing the song actually. Now I'm waiting for the going of public in a couple of years . . .
I'm glad you like the lyrics :) Now only 2-3 more years till you get to hear the song XD
That is a good song, I hope you will get rich off this song and others. I can not want until it comes out in the public.:)
