Zombies

[Aus_rock_god]

This song is a kind on metal ballad that sorta tells a story (if you can work out what it's about you rock).


Zombies


In the center of town there’s a house that stands
Although it’s ready to fall
A hole in the roof let’s the moonlight in
It shines on things that crawl

There’s a dozen zombies in his room
And two rats on his bed
Candles break the sullen darkness
But not the space in his head

He walks along the corridor
With no blood in his veins
Feels the dead weight in his hand
It’s time to end the pain


It’s time to silence all these voices in my head
It’s time to reconcile my mind
It’s time to wake the dead
In the place where the air is purple
In the home of the dead
There’s no room in the world for ones like me
And no room in my head


The silent night is broken
By the sound of guns
The air smells like a barbeque
And it wakes the dogs

The dogs wake their owners
They know something is wrong
Although the hounds were all born deaf
The odor is strong


It’s time to silence the voices in my head
It’s time to reconcile my mind
It’s time to wake the dead
In the place where the air is purple
In the home of the dead
There’s no room in the world for ones like me
And no room in my head



The song itself has a very long guitar solo for the last 6 minutes or so, imitating gunfire and sirens and such, which is why the lyrics are short and sweet.

i skipped through it first and didnt like it but reading it second and third times it gets better, i think theres 2 images in this song that well dont contradict but dont fit great

The silent night is broken
By the sound of guns
The air smells like a barbeque
And it wakes the dogs

The dogs wake their owners
They know something is wrong
Although the hounds were all born deaf
The odor is strong

In the center of town there’s a house that stands
Although it’s ready to fall
A hole in the roof let’s the moonlight in

these parts dont mention death zombies darkness or anything like that yet the rest is much more morbid

apart from what i just said the story ur telling is good nothing wrong with what ur saying just maybe a little reworking on how u say it


keep writing

I'll just give it away so it makes sence.

The term 'zombies' is a metophor for junkies. The story is about a heroin addict who decides (in a weird, drug induced state of paranoia) to kill his friends.

[deathscreamingsheep]

I get the zombie part, though I assumed the friend killing was something to do with desire for jacking up etc... Also I thought that zombie was more to describe the debilitating effects that constant use of certain substances does to him.

Anyway, I shall mark this song to crit later.
