scores subject to change as it was very hard to seperate the top 5 or 6 well

this song is quite uncharacteristic of you. u took a fresh approach and u get extra points for that. its a very erratic song structure, which would probably effect its songability (well, ability to put to music). Nothing short of amazing the description and master of language that went into each line... but i dont really feel the song as a whole.

no doubt can write lyrics well, but it seems to lose my interest, and not necessarily stray off course in terms of subject matter, but stray the reader off course. another fresh approach, this time from a new forumer. Doesnt have the control over the direction of the peice or the master of language that would seperate a possible winner.

interesting song. definately different from the norm. Not really trying to impress. Extra points for all those aspects. Havnt said that, all those things also excluded you from achieving the "WOW!" factor, and meant that i didnt really connect with the song as well as i could.

not really a "unique" approach, but definately one that we dont get around here that often... in the sense that you seem to take a "fractured" approach for your songwriting. Seems abit cliche at times (eg. "begins at the end and ends at the beginning"), although there are some lines that stand out (eg. "wrenched from the body to echo once more"). Doesnt seem to communicate much more than the words you've put down on screen. But definately envokes some array of dark emotional appeal

i've always liked every single song you write and this one is no exception. Doesnt really stand out tho. No "WOW!" factor
... for me anyway. Sorry for the small crit.

first off, i dont really dig the religious propaganda (i know thats definately the wrong word to use, but you probably know the word i'm looking for anyway)... although the repitition of "your will be done" adds a nice touch, although i'm not sure what emphasising that line is trying to communicate. Everything else is done quite well, and i really have no comments for this apart from, good job :/. could be better tho

hmmm.. its been a while since i've witnessed your bizarre style of songwriting. You definately have HUGE talent, but wether it communicates to the audience/reader or not, obviously is subjective, but in the case of your style will influence this aspect negatively. Lyrically and poetically, notthing short of amazing tho. I really like the intro (for its originality, and fresh approach) and the chorus. I've enjoyed your other songs in the past alot better tho.

lets get one thing off my head first... i LOVE the title. well done. i also LOVE the line "all the dreams you ever stole". Now onto the rest of the song... i didnt like it that much. Not to say it wasnt good... it was a bloody good song... i'm just saying it in comparison to your other songs, it just didnt live up. 5th stanza is definately my favourite... next fav is 2nd.

yeah... shocking spelling. Lyrics are good in a comical way. I like the term "patriotic ardour"... but you probably coulda manipulated that chorus so that ardour would end up rhyming with before. I cant really view it as much of a serious peice tho.

is that last line part of the song, or merely a comment at how you'll see how ur song does. lol. :/. Lyrically fabulous. Seems too incomplete tho in terms of both the size of the peice and making the reader/audience understand the song by giving them a breeding ground (well... not a BREEDING ground, but i just decided to call it that) for them to interpret it. This is what serperated you from winning
