Yeah, I'm a poet sometimes... published in a few places, but never wanted to take it to anything big. I'm also the writer for our little band... I mainly write what I feel, or about a situation in the way that I see it. However, I'm a very confused, sick, weird, and twisted person sometimes....so some of my stuff can be considered uh....deep and confusing or just like huh? But that's what makes it amusing sometimes. I guess that's why I got published.... *shrugs*

I'll start out with a little lyric I wrote for Dragon Ball Z. My favourite character is Garlic Jr., of course ^^ I like demented demonic midgits, yes. This song is titled Dead Zone, after his ultimate attack, and described the feeling of being trapped over and over again....unable to break the boring chain of failure.

Dead Zone:

Wasn't the perfect prize, I know
Circuit, hollow, bound to the open prison poison doors.
Amidst the burning core I follow my shadow.
It is deeper here.

Something digging into skin, been too long since air was mine.
Breathing time!
In hale nothing stale, prevail over broken rhymes.
It is of stagnant fear.

Dead, dead, dead DEAD
Deadness is what hides your eyes from
Filthy rags and tighetened ties.
Dead is the hand the rocked the cradle!
Gone is the man that said he was able!
Burnt is the ice from foriegn fable!
Dead, dead, dead....
DEAD!

From vortex comes lithe being, cried
Bringing tears to missing life. Dripping....
Among the shapes that play games, I stand alone.
It is all too clear!

I am here. I've always been here. Here I am.
There I stand no more.
I am here, I've always been. Here I am.
I AM HERE!

Dead dead dead DEAD (Zone of the forgotten)
Deadness is what hides your eyes from (Can't you see? I can't see!)
Filthy rags and tighetened ties. (BREAK THROUGH!)
Dead is the hand that rocked the cradle. (It is deeper still...)
Gone is the man that said he was able. (Here I am, here I stand!)
Burnt is the ice from foreign fable. (All too clear! All too clear!)
Dead, dead dead.... (Zone of the lost and forgotten...DEAD!)
DEAD

Here I am, I've always been. Here I am, I am here.
Here I am I've always been. Here I am, I am here.
HERE I AM, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN! HERE I AM, I AM....
HERE!

No comments because I don't bother much with Poetry and stuff to know what the hell I'm talking about; but gogo Japanese lyrics.

Also, do you sing about Satan, etc when you sing in Japanese or whetever you do?

Not really...I've never written a song about satan before. But since you like Japanese lyrics, here are some. I'm sure I twisted some words around wrong, but I had to so I could make them fit with the tune. I'll also do a beefed up translation so you'll know what the freak I sing about when I do Japanese stuff.

This is one of my babies (what I call a song I write that I thoroughly put my heart and soul into). It tells of a love unspoken because of fear, a love that is going nowhere, but one that is bound to blossom someday. For now, the person speaking through the lyric is just running along with her lover, but not really knowing how to express herself/himself. It was actually written for Garlic Jr. to begin with, but it can be applied anywhere.

Kaze no Kyokusho, Eien

Heres some english translation.

Winds of Forever, Infinity:

In the living darkness, a sacred shadow
Written on the dried lips
That said they loved me
Surely...deeply...
Timeless clock

We were running on sands of time
Where dead feet walk
Scattering the grains of sand
Surely...Deeply...
Timeless clock

Hand in hand, you and I
Together we will learn to fly
And soundlessly die
In the wind's rhapsody
Timeless

Hand in hand, you and I
Together we will learn to fly
And soundlessly die
In the wind's rhapsody
Timeless

Can't you see the star
Spitting a million possibilities?
Or the reflection in your eyes
As they stop the flow of time?

Can't you see the star
Spitting a million possibilities?
Or the reflection in your eyes
As they stop the flow of time...
Endlessly!?

Hand in hand, you and I
Together we will learn to fly
And soundlessly die
In the wind's rhapsody
Timeless

Hand in hand, you and I
Together we will learn to fly
And soundlessly die
In the wind's rhapsody
Timeless

In the wind's timeless rhapsody...

Srry didn't see your post, Chocolate. Thanx for the comment. And yes, you'll find lots of death in my writingbecause of my past and my life.... however, better to write it out than to go freakin' kill yourself because of crap that happens ^^

Here's another lyric. This one is really old...but yeah... I'll try to explain it again, since my lyrics are uh, a little deep for the average viewer and may not make sense to them.

No Fear

Said the Eagle to the Snake
Never make that same foolish mistake
Smoke wings evanesce into days of old
Mystery walk down a dust-bitten road

Eagle spreads his wings and flies
Battered serpent drowns and dies

I still have the same old face
But never will I fall from grace

I am leaving, believing no return

Chorus:
Better run, never hide!
Childish lies, momma cried!
Saw your fate, same as mine�
Life and Death
Walk the line you see here�
But whatever may, whatever come�.
No Fear

Swallow the darkness eating you
Black is gray, both in tune

Someday will, someday do
Mystery Walk�
Winding path through

Believer hides amid the sun
Life and Death have become one
I know your fate, mirroring mine�

Better run, never hide!
Eagle cries, snake it dies!
Walk the path as it appears�
But whatever may, whatever come�
No Fear
---------
This is one of our softer pieces...it was actually written for a school project my brother had, regaurding a book he read called Mystery Walk. Th ebook is about strangers having to come together to fight a shape-shifting demon.

This one was written for my brother's favourite character, a man who could see when and how poeple were to die before they actually did die. He uses the fear of death and his knowlege to confront the demon with his friend. His mother always told him to walk the stright path, to never fear anything no matter how horrible it looks to be. In the book, he refers to his friend as the Eagle, a valiant, noble being...and the demon as a Snake. Thus we see some of the battle elements at the end of the book here, through the eyes of this wonderful character. In the end, he knows his friend is to die in battle... but he faces it no matter what, and prevails... His friend dies as the demon does, the Eagle risking its life to defeat the evil Snake. Even as this is playing out, the character who sees death all around him walks the fateful path that destiny has chosen for him.

It is also symbolical, a message saying use the words of the wise, and follow your heart and destiny no matter what hardships may come.

Theres lots more explaining, but this will suffice methinks. ^^ I hope you enjoy.

evanesce kind of comes out of nowhere here... It works with the meter and tempo and the flow of the verse, but I'm sure you could think of a better word there, since the rest of the language in this is fairly simple. This word stuck out as kind of coming out of nowhere, although it makes sense in the context.

Eagle spreads his wings and flies
Battered serpent drowns and dies

I still have the same old face
But never will I fall from grace

I am leaving, believing no return

I find these rhymes to be unoriginal, and cliched. Flies/dies, face/grace, it's just kind of dull....

Chorus:
Better run, never hide!
Childish lies, momma cried!
Saw your fate, same as mine�
Life and Death
Walk the line you see here�
But whatever may, whatever come�.

The chorus is pretty decent, although kind of insipid at the same time. Not a bad piece, but I personally think it could be much better...

Yeah, I was trying to go for simple mostly, because it was for my brother... and for his school and he was only like 12 at the time...so I didn't want him to take it up there and people be like huh? lol However, some of my sophisticated words just popped out, cause I usually write more sophisticated anyhow.

And it doesn't bother me with the rhymes. I just used words that actually rhyme so the song could have a means of flow, which I succeeded at. Of course you wouldn't know because you haven't heard us perform it, but yeah LOL I'm not afraid to use simple rhymes. Sometimes, especially in this case, it is better than trying to rhyme ridiculous words.... the main point here was feeling, not structure, though simplicity was taken in consideration.

Well the fact that I wrote it at 12 am the day before he turned it in, and I wrote it, made the music, and recorded us performing it all in a matter of 20 minutes might be a major factor LOL It's actually one of my favourite pieces we perform....I like singing it. Very catchy kekeke

Random poetryness ^^

HEART OF WARRIOR:

Rusty feet upon a worn and broken road
The sweat of a valiant one, story untold
A silence
Through the melodic air, something there, so cold
Yet stand strong, my heart, thick and bold

Eyes that blind upon a path lined with fate
The courage of the old ones never flee, never late
They come
Across the unevened land, sword in hand, seconds more to wait
A hidden smile, a badge, honour and rigour mate

Lone lone warrior, where do you go
When the way lays before you in separate poles?
Lone lone warrior, what do you say
When the light flickers, you can no longer stay?

When your legs are weary and your skin is tight
When you feel as if you've lost all hope and might
When the hours tick by and still you fight
Where is your heart, alone in this night?

Hands that reach no matter what horizons may fall
The heart of warrior beats and pridestretches tall
I listen
And as the silhouette fades, my spirit wades, among the lifting pall
To see that warrior and to hear the drum that resides in them all
----------------
And now one of my award/money winning poems and runner up in the finals of a contest WOOOO!!! lol >.<' This one was dedicated to one of my favourite Silent Hill characters, Leonard Wolf of Silent Hill 3. I found it funny that it got runner up, being as I didn't spend more than five or so minutes writing it -_- I like some of my other poems better, in fact...but ah well ^^

Echoes From The Past:

Sing my ears with your voice

Dripping with false honey, sleeping in everlasting dark

Wider, open my hardened heart

Melt it with the warmth of your words

Falling on the unseen corpse

Me before you

And you before I

Does your mind hold a lock?

Teeming with unnecessary riddles, dormant in their dirty crevices

Turning, My hand with a key

Reject it with your world of illusion

Part your lips again

Me before you

And you before I

Dare not speak this time

Thinking on drowning philosophy, keep them safe inside you

Knowing, your hidden smile into my own

Make it last on your focused agenda

Laughing, they are, because of our forbidden feelings

Me before you

And you before I

Whisper so I may hear you once more

Acting on rumors of guilt, pacing the depths of your past

Aching, my chest bursts for cursed love

Let it die, will you do this for me?

Weeping for the fact that you are different

Me before you

And you before I

Tell of your flaws and fancies

Rushing in to battle pain, nudging against the outcasts

Loving, I open my arms to you

Come to me, I will accept you as you are

Lapping at the blood of lost time

Me before you

And you before I

There never was�.

Random stuff I find:

Slick handed caught branded luv in the air like a one pole standin'
I did all for you my true partner for the new days
Record plays, reminded me of older days hey
Driven down crowned king of all hearts bling aint one thing for nothing
I give it to you hands up loving so good aint enough to fill the cup
Flippin trippen you must be lippin if you dippin in another vixens fixens
So Duncan all for the man, bam, said I am, so call it out, shout it out
Fall out, squall out, bawl out...here i am on the line, twine, on time n never rhymin
I aiint lying so get over here and stop yo whinin
I aint cryin over another hitman of a heart, tyin
I just play my game, same as them all,
Want you for myself, none other to call

And heres one that one of my friends (Duncan) wrote LOL

I bit the bullit and jumped,
I save my PIM cause I want to,
not because Naruto,
told me too

>.<' Yeah, my friend is not a poet and can't rhyme though this was supposed to be a rap battle LOL

And here's another I find:

Why you jumpin yo, you scared fo sho
Thats why you bite the kite with the flow, yo
Aint got enough dough to roll in this show yo
I gots the green, mean machine and things, bling bling
Tongue ring, gothy
Dusty mothy
Chew yo gum fool, aint nobody wanting you
Fool ya do that, bring it back, work that rack, talkin smack what
You nuts?
Duncan and Rei be playing
Aint nobody in here paying, free is where it be
I'm too gothy for yo rocky talking! Fool do what i told you
Bring the game to me no charge or I'll dodge ya

...yes, after the discussion of having to pay to be part of a roleplaying forum....that is just....freaked up.

Last rap rant:

In the end it all came down to this, dissed, thrown to the side, marked off of your list

It's clear to me I don't matter to you a bit, flipped, lit up by your own ill legit words

Absurd how you trash me away, like I never existed one single day, hey, it's true

I loved you, breathed you slept you, everything for you like a lovers supposed to do

Does it matter to you, no, make you care, no, aware, no, love, no, put me above, no

I'm at the bottom dropped out, stopped out and I doubt I'll ever rise, your sun again

Cause in the end you're the one who always wins and I'm broken, and I'm weepin

In my world there is no such thing as sleepin, wonderin if your okay, if you're

Ever gonna give me the time of day I deserve that, heard that? Absurd that? WORD THAT

And this is what I get for a mile of love, I'd hate to see what I had gotten had I'd been more

Rough, but my heart bleeds for you, sees only you, I cried for you, I'd DIE FOR YOU

Whatever you want me to, and what do I get, nothing, what do I hear, nothing

Can't even send me a call to tell me you love me, NOTHING and I'm tired of being used

Of being abused by this monster that's got me looking only at you cause you don't give

A damn about me, slam me dunk me, bash me DUMP ME don't pretend you have a heart

In that void of a chest when you lay to rest I wish you only fear and tears at best

You know me, I love you man, but you don't give a damn and I'm giving you the chance

Of a lifetime man, just take my hand and make a stand if you true as you claim to be

Start being the man, stop being a baby...maybe you can redeem all you wanted to lose

You choose, I'm tired of choosing for you! I took you in my arms when you were low

To the ground after a terrible blow, took you in and loved you like I supposed to do

And you loved me too, what did that do? Look where it got us man, after you don't give a rip

Cause me to flip, this pain is a trip and I'm bleeding, needing you. Do you extend a hand

NO, do you want to be my man, NO, love me, don't think so, just wanted a piece

Why the hell didn't you say so, OH but I gave you that to...nothing more I can give

To a taker like you. You gonna come back, love back and mend this scene or should I walk

Away, wounded from this memory.

Don't you just love the randomness *dances* -_-
