Black Metal Lyrics

[Frost999]

The one is Called......... Blood and Darkness

I want blood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The walls of hell are smeared in blood
We drink eternally------forever.
Darkness will us.
leading us to the eternal smell od blood
Death and Loneliness rules the land.
A medieval vampire, ready to kill
eats the flesh of everything it sees.

Come, come with us into darkness.
Drink the blood and eat the flesh
Now your soul remains in shadows.
There is no passion within the darkness.
There is no such thing as love in this realm!!!!!!!
Blood Lust, we drink eternally. Blood!!!!!!!!!

Blood-Blood-Blood-Blood
Death-Death-Death-Death
Blood-Blood-Blood-Blood

Soaked in a puddle of blood,
We feed on flesh------pure flesh.
Time to die, there's no escape.
Join us in darkness of forever you will
DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My new black metal lyrics, tell me what you think.

[Tele Master]

I think you should see somebody...

[David C]

I think the first line of the last stanza should be "soaked in a field of blood" or "a sea of blood." A "puddle" of blood just doesn't fit the picture of largescale bloodshed that the rest of the song describes. This song makes me want a steak--rare.

[Air]

laughable my man!

I hope ur not serious

[Gainer]

Can you say Therapist?

[aiwass]

Ok, if you're gonna write Black Metal lyrics, or just dark ones for that matter, check out some bands who actually know how to, like for example Cradle of Filth.

Oh and that was, sorry to say, laughable. What's the deal with blood anyway? It's not that scary. It's just blood...

Now if you were to say something like: "Crimson tears, drops of blood shed by angels, devoured by demons", now THAT would be dark.

[metalisbest]

I agree with Tele Master and Gainer. Cradle of Filth is probally the worst band that I've listen to.

[chucklivesoninmyheart]

here is some CONSTRUCTIVE HELP(shame on you all!)
First off...make sure that the forum you post your lyrics on is "evil" friendly

second...Consider carfully and list bands that influenced the spark of thought or theme/feelings itself

third...think long and hard and try find bands that might have done that before(especially is they suck!)You do not want cliche lyrics(unless you like nu-metal)

fourth...rhyming is NOT a rule!people ruin great verses by feeling they have to rhyme

fifth...If you dont have a melody to go with the song you cant create hooks to easily.Black metal isnt not known for its catchy choruses,but the most memorible songs contain some sort of catch/hook("Immortal" uses them alot)

heres some of my lyrics for reference:
"Beyond Recognition"

(verse)Dead body,trauma extinguishes your soul before flight
Unknowing to the ravaged flesh,your desacrated life
Cursed nameless and torn to an endless untimely cycle
Just a spark in random time under an absent invisible idol

(chorus)Beyond recognition,burnt,chard,forgotten vision
Follow your path,no decision

Forgive god,your beyond recognition__________!

(verse)What one was,nothing but smoke behind countless eyes
Fall far from listening ears,none will hear your deafening cry's
Pushed by perpetual force until your jesus forsaken death
The lambs book of life merley tells of your final constricted breath

(chorus)Beyond recognition,burnt,chard,forgotten vision
Follow your path,no decision

Forgive god,your beyond recognition__________!(end)


"Phantom Pain"

(verse)Long after my demise i can sense that ghost
it burns me inside out relentlessly
my earth vessle has surley witherd mercilessly
my current being houses a searing evil host

(pre-chorus)a speeding juggernaut sealed in my vapor
never will it dissapate a feathers touch to aggravate
connected still to my human shell which rots beneath
I feel every moment as if I was still in it

(chorus)this phantom i have no hold
my human extremeties i bear in vain
there without use though i feel them
this phantom i call pain

(verse)long I seek relief wake me soon to forget
its a freezing blade,cold and unyielding
descent from the earth was my hell's beginning
I cant bleed or break under its torment

(pre-chorus)a speeding juggernaut sealed in my vapor
never will it dissapate a feathers touch to aggravate
connected still to my human shell which rots beneath
I feel every moment as if I was still in it

(chorus)this phantom i have no hold
my human extremeties i bear in vain
there without use though i feel them
this phantom i call pain(end)

"Crib Death Rapture"

(verse)pray this coward is worthy to be praised
Take as one gives,dont question his way
gradually he gathers,his temples are desired
bury your miricale,long suffering required

(chorus)A rotting gift recieved
His loving mercy retrieved
your seeds passing once forseen long before life was ever concieved!

(verse)Eat and drink a symbolic body of christ
use faith to exuse wisdom,its recondite
Ask why when you pour all being into thin air
remember,your buried treasure will never feel fear

(chorus)A rotting gift recieved
His loving mercy retrieved
your seeds passing once forseen long before life was ever concieved!(end)

ANYWAY... above all...dont feel put down by criticism from a person/s that donsnt "listen" to black metal(or any genre of music for that matter!)

Oh and... I NEED THERAPY!!!:)

[metalisbest]

It just seems to mean that all black metal lyrics are the same. I don't see any meaning in any of those songs. Maybe its just me, but I really don't want to listen to songs with those kind of lyrics in it.

[chucklivesoninmyheart]

I really dont listen to music for lyrics...good musicianship counts the most for me.Lyrics allow people to relate to a song if musically "dim-witted".Personally I feel a good instrumental can speak and explain more than simple words can.
For me,My own lyrics simply express my problems with god(I feel he is a sadist)

"Nevermore" song "heart collector" is an example of those few songs where lyrics play any part in keeping me interested "musically"

Dude, all dark lyrics aren't about carnage and molestation. I suggest you check out some Opeth lyrics, which, although often sung in a "cookie monster" voice, are both beautiful and meaningful.

[metalisbest]

I have listened to Opeth, but I just can't get into it.

[chucklivesoninmyheart]

If you want lyrics away from the hate/darkness e.c.t
I suggest "Immortal"
Good ol' Black/Epic metal.I tryed getting into opeth myself but fell asleep in the process.Then I heard they were "pop" so that ruined it completley.Thats a blind assumption but I steer clear of music that has a questionable integrity."Nu-Metal" e.c.t.
I wont start a rant.. so in closing
Immortal is "intelligent" black/epic metal constructed well,with a unique sound of there own.The drummer is amazing and the songs and lyrics are crafted with thought.
I even think "tool"(it makes me sick to see them recognized as a non mainstream band with talent/skill...I hate them with a passion...well..my ex loved them so that may have somthing to do with it.)got alot of there rhythmic ideas from "immortal"...just listen to "beyond the northern waves". Later!

[chucklivesoninmyheart]

oh yeah...metalibeast

Before saying my lyrics have no meaning(at least for you)...please analyze them first as painful as it may be.
there is a point/state/event within those songs

"beyond recognition" is about being forgoten in the lapse of time.What of you will remain of you in a million years physically or spiritualy e.c.t..?

"phantom pain" has nothing to do with the pain after amputation.Its the theory of pain after death...uncontrolable,unbearable...a simple horrorific scenerio

"crib death rapture" sounds like any other die/dead/death song.But it questions why humans suffer,endure and have there lives or loved ones snatched away as they are given.A notion that god is a bit of a sadist who helps/intervenes with nothing and allows death to continue for his glory/justification/plan.

my other songs and lyrics i fuse space,science and religion to create premises for pondering.
I like to "think and wonder" while listening to music.But thatss just a premise.You can create ground for thought with many feelings/subjects... analogys dont make a song(though do contain them).The song is the Analogy for description of thought/feeling.

later!!
Stay METAL!!!!!

[aiwass]

I think your ideas are ok, but I really think you're limiting yourself by expressing everything via the death metal style, as if it's a prerequisite that you must entail blood, gore and pain while expressing your views.

Try to expand your vocabulary a bit (and maybe spelling too for some of those lyrics), and try to vary your narrative style. It could help to choose more graspable topics, or even a story.

[metalisbest]

Yea man, write about other topics. That might be your style but it seems like those topics are overused in that kind of music.

[TheDirt]

A world without death... I'm picturing severe overpopulation. Death is the natural way to go out... I mean, it would be weird if people just disappeared.

It upsets me to see people blame God on death and such. "Why is God letting this happen to me?" etc. Don't get me wrong, though. I'm not just defending God. I don't think it's right for people to blame everything bad on Satan either. "Well Satan's been working on me hard this week... my car broke down Thursday."

Not everything that happens to a person is a result of actions or inactions by God or Satan!! Some, in fact, most, things happen due to choices (and effects brought on by those consequences) made by PEOPLE.

Godly intervention only comes through the prayers of the righteous (which explains why it is sparse... many people pray, but not many of them are righteous).

Sorry about the rant... I've got "different" ideas about religion and spirituality than most people.

--------------------------------------------------------

About the lyrics...

-First off, ALWAYS proofread your lyrics. Correct conjugation of verbs, such as "Darkness *wills* us" and "Death and Loneliness *rule* the land". Check your spelling as well.

-I'm not seeing a good structure in the song. That "Blood-blood-blood and so forth" part I'm feeling as a chant, which could be considered your chorus, and should be present between every verse, not just after the first.

-Lyrics are a vehicle of expression. From reading them, I have a hard time feeling exactly what you're trying to get across. I see the blood motif, but it's not worked into any kind of story, nor any one emotion.

-Some parts of the lyrics seem a bit confusing... "Darkness wills us/leading us to the eternal smell of blood". That's just kind of awkward... darkness is leading you to a smell? Also, in the 2nd stanza it is implied that the person to whom the narrator is speaking has joined the narrator ("Now your soul remains in the shadows"), but later in the 4th stanza, the narrator again says "Join us".

-Aside from the chorus type chant thing, where the repetition of the word "blood" is used for effect, I think that "blood" is overused throughout the song. My old English teacher used to not let us write the same word twice (except for prepositions and articles and such), and we had to come up with other ways to restate the same idea.

On the whole, the piece needs a good deal of revision. Keep in mind these are just suggestions and I hope they help. Good luck.

[Andrew Sa]

Personally, I am a huge metal fan...When it comes to Black metal, I love that too. But only when done properly. Just because you`re in a Black metal band, that doesn`t mean you must write "Black metal lyrics" if all metal bands did that, then they would all make practically the same songs, and things would get boring.
I know that the kind of metal in question is associated with an image of blood and gore, but honestly...who wants to hear a song about blood? or even more relevant, who wants to write a song about blood.
I dont think I am a alone when I say that I believe songs should have substance and meaning. If blood has something to do with that meaning, well then thats great, but a song about blood is just stupid.
Maybe try drawing inspirasion from situations etc.

[SLY]

As a non-singing lead guitarist (rarely do some vocal backing) , I care more about music than lyrics , that's why I can take crappy lyrics for some good songs .

Anyway , I think those black/death/doom metal guys went to these evil kinda lyrics cuz their pissed at overused lovesong kinda lyrics , not putting in mind that their vampire (and all other bloody stuff) lyrics have become overused too !
These evil lyrics usualy don't reflect those who are writing it or have an impact on most people who read it (cuz scary lyrics sounds like scary granma kid-tales ;) ) while lovesongs are more grown-up lyrics.
The point is, nice overused lyrics are definately better than crappy overused lyrics.

So, if you want your lyrics to sound unique , you don't have to be scarry (cuz it's not unique anymore :D ) , you just need to find some newer non-categorized topics.

[Ibanez1243]

Man I've heard death metal before and I do like some of it. Other stuff I don't like, but man please your lyrics suck . It definetly isn't dark and scary and the whole song pretty much is just talking about blood. BLOOD IS'N'T DARK OR SCARY MAN. I've seen some badly written songs before but man that is some of the worst stuff I've ever read. Sorry man but it does need alot of work.

BOB

[Guitarlove9090]

This song sounds like a really bad episode of the x files. I guess if I look at it creativly it isn't that bad.

[superwang5000]

no offense but i find the lyrics of all death/black metal comical. no1 can be serious (unless your from emperor) about the killing and stuff. it is fun to scream them and play stupid grindcore.... im playing to make grindcore songs on the stop to mock ppl at shows when i get my band going. cradle of fifth sorta takes the comedy to a new level with the female witch voices.... the singer is amazing tho... i was dissappointed to learn that dimmu borgir/ CoF drummer nick barker uses some sort of triplet pedal...that poser

[chucklivesoninmyheart]

Whats wrong with grind,death or black metal?
Lots of great bands fall in those categorys.
I also think nobody gave me good critisism on MY lyrics.

[Enslaved2Metal]

Dude i lyk grindcore and death but i wanna combine stuff to go with it...i luv death bands lyk enslaved and Death but i also lyk alot of other stuff too...i guess wut IM tryin to say is that i want to try to combine everything i lyk into my music and that u guys can do wutevr the f__k u want eith ur german black metal lyric crap and if thats wut u wanna do then i guess no one's gonna stop u but i just put those crappy sets words on the thread to show the i suck at writing lyrics becuz im not serious about it and im not serious about cuz im currently focusing on making my own style (psychadeli fantasy metal) so, if you are going to try and do a type of music seriously then you have to be focused and have to put a lot of hard work into it...dont just use an online translator to translate a few words about gore and violence and stuff like that and slap it on the internet becuz u kno its just gonna suck...so put some focus and thought onto your songs...maybe then we can all get somewhere with our music ...or at least within ourselves...

[Enslaved2Metal]

O yea and can u guys PLEASE HELP ME! I need to know somethings about a stick guitar (www.stick.com)... I posted a thread in the gear section but nobody is replying SO PLEASE PPL!

[chucklivesoninmyheart]

Translator?Blood and gore???
I'm going to assume you didnt take a look at my lyrics.

That stick instrument looks like a guitar fretbaord thats simply more responsive to light touch rather than strong vibration.Definitley one of those new age instrument attemps.I think it will be a long time before it becomes a staple in guitar drivin music since there grossly overpriced and look damn ugly.I will continue to tap on my six stringer.Great potential though.Just dont buy stock in the company or anything...well...that might not be such a bad idea!

$$$later$$$ \m/

[chucklivesoninmyheart]

Oh yeah,about your "psychedelic fantasy metal".
You might want to check out tristania(I might have misspelled).Theres a ton of great metal bands that have fantasy themes to there music,but I havnt seen any with tie-dye shirts with an emphisis on trancing people e.c.t
Neurosis comes close though.

[Enslaved2Metal]

lol i dodnt mean fantasy as in the content of the lyrics i meant as in the sort of mood from the music.....

[chucklivesoninmyheart]

ahhh...I see(I'm thinking Symphonic/brutal/melodic/epic metal)

[Seiko_Hejiro]

If that song the original post is to be about vampries and darkness make it less repetative and more bad ass. Do some more research on vampires and find some niche story about some vampire no one knows about yet and use that as the basis or something. Also think what the message or story of the song might be. ANd tell it through clever words worked out or just be blatant about it. Either way choose your words carefully.

Though I have found the more fun you have with writing the better the lyrics might very well be in the end. It's also good to write some stuff out then come back to it in a week then go over whether or not you like them anymore. Cause you might think hey that sounds bad ass now, and then you read it a week later and it sounds lame as hell.

Just been my experience with lyrics. Though there are plenty of funny death metal bands n such with hilarious lyrics muffled under bad ass music. Especially Emperor.

[concrete chaos]

this is the problem with 'lets make this song sound evil, lets make this song sound happy.

u shouldnt have the preconceptions in mind...when travelling through ur soul to express ur view on a matter thats so important u need to write words and melody [ thats really something strong to me]

making it sound like something makes u narrow minded, and u lose the feel of evrything.. thats why everything is sooo overused, love hate every damn thing becomes a fad and trend and it hurts.

so basically just write pure lyrics, no matter what it eventually sounds like.

Even if it sounds like the crap this guy wrote?

[concrete chaos]

[Number of the Beast]

true, now go one thread down and give me your opinion on my lyrics.
