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...
First notes:
fifteen hundred pages in the manifest
of the man with a belief
who's got the force of thousands who have only interests
a private declaration of independency
a rage in need of relief (I scrapped "by a man with no brains")
a wild and dangerous monster with much too much fantasy
more'n ninety dead, a nation's shattered ("more than", there are 92 victims)
a blond-haired, christian fundamentalist
young, hopeful pupils killed and battered
by a self appointed anti-islamist
how much hatred can we allow
to spread under the guise of liberty
The last two lines are supposed to make it into the chorus, as a political statement if you like.
I gathered ideas from two web posts:
news on web.de (German; here the manifest is mentioned as well as several citations that I picked like "declaration of independence", or "person with a belief")
Aljazeera (yes, THE Aljazeera)
