I describe my ongoing lyrics writing projects. Where I get my ideas, how I match my words with other people's music, which little helpers I use...
The idea had been in the back of my mind since quite a while. But actually there was only the title, "doomsday morning", at first. Later I found "doomsday morn" better fitted. Today I put down a few lines that might match the subject. With the help of dict.cc (great for checking out phrases) and RhymeZone.com I found additional ones (RhymeZone provided: stillborn, steam, and euphemize). I scrapped the expression "darkness looming" because it would not match the meter, now 'possibilities' loom, instead.
all's been said that was to say
the colors all have turned to grey
the new day arrives stillborn
'cause today is doomsday morn
fears are weighing heavily
of looming possibilities
of dashed hopes and shattered dreams
the will to live's run out of steam
and we prey to our Gods
with their thousand names
we are so shaken
we've stopped playing games
many wish that they were never born
'cause today is doomsday morn
we've laid waste to fertile lands
our industry got out of hand
all countries now are paralized
no options left to euphemize
and we prey to our Gods
with their thousand names
we are so shaken
we've stopped playing games
many wish that they were never born
'cause today is doomsday morn
