No, seriously, can anyone else help me expand on those lyrics? I'm already past deadline for that one song.

Just write one verse and repeat it a couple of times. Like Swap Meet by Nirvana.

Ok, I might be able to come up with something. What's going on with the story again?

EDIT: Nevermind, I just need to know the song structure and how many lines I have to write for each part.

You've heard the song, so the structure shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

And its technically just one long verse so....

Here's some stuff. Let me know if it sucks or you need more or whatever.

Quote:
Awake in darkness hear the cries, of all the unknown helpless lives, machines roar death outside these walls but calmness breaths as it crawls. I feel their lies I feel their hate, a consumed, condemned, endless fate. Lost within this room of black, I scream out and it comes roaring back. What am I doing in this place? Is it a factory or an open space? When will I get out of here? This endless darkness fuels my fear. Is this real or just a dream? In a couple of hours will I awaken and scream? It's seems as if I'll never get out, I think for now, I'll just lie down...

Wouldn't the person you wrote the lyrics and sang the song have to get some of the royalties? You can't just use someone's lyrics or voice without the creator of them getting something credit and royalty wise. Getting a copy of the CD doesn't really count as much of a prize. Though I must admit I'm not sure how the whole royalties system works, so I may be wrong. I always find it hilarious the ridiculous stuff people ask for on forums. In the style of Strong Bad's quote...

"We're not here to fulfill your every freakin whim here. Write lyrics for a song for me. Help me create a video game. Put on a purple thing and dance around"

If you want to get someone to write lyrics and sing for you, you may want to ask at more appropriate places. Go to music clubs or put an ad in the paper or something. Chances are you won't get many people to help you, let alone get anything of much quality. (unless you just happen to stumble upon a singer or lyric writer, which is a long shot.)

I think that one would be required to give royalties. If not royalties, they at least have to have some mention of their contribution somewhere. If you don't mention it, it would make it look like you wrote the lyrics, and therefore would get credit for it. I'm pretty sure this would be breaking at least one law of some sorts.

Which is why my name is going in the liner notes. As well as everyone else who helped.

Well that's good then. But you may want to thoroughly read this first. It's a wikipedia page about musical royalties.

Stop Jewing/Socialisting up my thread. Iand's name is going in the Liner notes, and he's getting proper credit, as well as Rusty's synth solo at the beginning of the song, and Snorks (I think...) spoken verse for another song.

In fact, just GTFO right now.

No, that was Noid.

Or at least I think it was Noid. Either way, it wasn't me.

Okay, I've sang to it twice, but I just can't get it to sound good to me.

I was wondering if you possibly had any sheet music whatsoever. So does you?

Holy crow, chill out. No need to get into a tizzy. Just don't want you getting in legal trouble or anything. I was only trying to help. But I guess all that was taken care of, and I just didn't know.

I highly doubt that he'd get into legal trouble for his CD; he knows what he's doing.

If you need anymore vocalists, I can try and help you out, though I must admit that I don't have the best voice out there.

Could you, perhaps, try not to be a jerk? Seriously, COLA, this was uncalled for.

My name is Cliff Wildecott IV.

I don't care if I get credit or not, unless you get famous. Then I'll leech off of you.
