Title: "Give the song a name" PRIZE!!!!!!!!!!
Post by Carl_D on Aug 29^th, 2004, 5:35am

After much thought of what I could give everybody who participated in the "Give the song a name" contest, I've decided to make this one interesting.

It is serious too. No joking lines will be used.
As brutal as "Sleepstalker (To My Sweet Serial Victim)" is, I want to write a song that will reflect the opposite end; the resolve so to speak. This is where you guys come in. I want you to think hard and come up with the best one-line you can think of to be used in such a song. I will compile the best lines and hook it together as a song that will either be recorded for the "Crush Velvet Earth - Contemplating Revolutions" disc or the "Former - The Loss of God" disc. Everyone whose line is used will receive a writing credit for the song, However, I will remain as the copyright owner for publishing reasons. I am learning that we clusterheads are some pretty creative peeps, and thought this would be an interesting project to work on. Like I said in the thread that included the lyrics to Sleepstalker - y'all are winners in my book! It will be a first that I know of. Can't imagine a song I've ever heard of that had 20 or so writers.
So, put on your thinking caps and let 'em rip guys!

Pieces,
Carl D "PHROEK"

P.S. - I am the original FREEK, but since I have learned lately alot of folks have ripped me off and use my spelling, I will from now on be known as Phroek!
Gonna patent it too!

The only thing I can think of, is "Awashed". That is how I feel after the ch is gone, like a wave has washed over me.

good luck Carl

LOL! Don't need the song title yet. I need the lines to the song.
Give me a line to use in the song.
It will be interesting to have a song that was written by 22 people.

"I hold my head up, but my neck gives way"
"I slit my eyes open to see if anyone's around"

"and once the dance is over, it is the calm before the next storm."
"After the talons have released their screaming death grip all that is left is the calm of silence and the fear of the next assault"

Hope you can use them.

Hoping for PFNAD for all,

I'll attempt a contribution:

Save my mind from anguish Lord and heal this warrior’s brain,
I’ll trust in thee to keep me sound as I struggle within this chain.

Hmmm… makes me wanna keep writing a bit. ;)

BTW Carl: Since your other song seemed to be about the beast getting his enjoyment at the sake of seeing one suffer I had come up with a name for that song, but never got it posted, so … here it was anyway: ;;D
