A loud metal lyric. Open to collaborations
Destroyer Of Lives
(Verse 1)
Destroyer of lives
Purveyor of misery
Evil lurks deep in your heart.
Energy vampire
Sucking all joy from
The universe as you tear it apart.
(Verse 2)
Denier of truth
Rewriter of history
Paranoid lies drip from your mouth.
Small-time dictator
Delusions of grandeur
Each time you speak your hate leaches out.
(Chorus)
I am not gonna stand here and take it
Every time you lie I’ll call it out
Social media uber gaslighter
When you spread the flames I’m gonna stamp them out
(Verse 3)
Despoiler of youth
Gainsayer of liberty
Trenchant doctrine raised as god.
Frankenstein’s monster
Human construction
Stitched together and hungry for blood
(Chorus)
I am not gonna stand here and take it
Every time you lie I’ll call it out
Social media uber gaslighter
When you spread the flames I’m gonna stamp them out
(Bridge)
Destroyer of lives
Denier of truths
Evil lurks deep in your heart.
Destroyer of lives
Despoiler of youth
Paranoid lies drip from your mouth.
(Chorus)
I am not gonna stand here and take it
Every time you lie I’ll call it out
Social media uber gaslighter
When you spread the flames I’m gonna stamp them out

Thanks to everyone for all the great comments on this lyric. Hoping that it may get turned into a song before the end of this year's FAWM
@crutherford Feb 2022

these lines right here:
"Social media uber gaslighter" (which i wish i wrote)
&
"Paranoid lies drip from your mouth" (so SO great)
i'm looking forward to hearing where this goes!

So, so good! I stand behind your lyrics and all the really great comments on them below. Eager to see this picked up by a musician.

That is a great write, you can feel the angst just dripping off the page. I think the chorus is great, it gives the person things to do about what is upsetting, totally works, a great write, so rhythmic and descriptive!
@gindark Feb 2022
Gosh feeling this one at the moment for some reason (!!) hope you find a musical accompaniment to complement the rage it's after.
@dukongp100 Feb 2022
Good dark phrases of expression that put an image in my mind. I feel the theme is well presented with reference to internet culture and words used
@bradbrubaker Feb 2022
You definitely captured metal in the verses. Didn't even need to double bass pedal to her it neither.
@onewholovesrock Feb 2022
Good stuff. I’m a metal head first before anything else. This fits right in perfectly.
@mikeb Feb 2022
Great feel to these lyrics, Simon! I hope a metalist can set it to music!
@andrea Feb 2022
I love this! It has metal written all over it. I can't wait to hear it with some heavy music.
