Song lyrics part 1. I have written something like two hundred song lyrics from 1990 to approx 2010, and i got an idea to put some of them here that i like the most. This one is unrecorded and uncomposed. On my last band i played country rock, but many of these lyrics are all over the place stylewise. This lyric could work on a Children of Bodom-style metal song or something. Something like that.This lyric describes Finland, basically. It is kind of modernized story of Lalli.

A man came over the sea, with a bible in his hand

To settle down on this place, where his fathers own a land

He was raised in catholic way, to praise humanity and guilt

Just to see all his love stumbled, to the drain among the filth

 

Gothic town, gothic town. Ain't looking for a clown

Gothic town, gothic town. Shoot the bats hanging down

 

So man went for a walk, to see crosses upside down

People with black eye rings, and the place Pope got drowned

It did not take him long, to notice he was in a wrong place

That is all we know about him, he disappeared without a trace

 

Gothic town, gothic town. Ain't looking for a clown

Gothig town, gothic town. Shoot the bats hanging down

 

Here cobblestones cling harder, than any of man known sins

Native gods fight the souls, but can't beat the gothic kings

The God is painted black, and hanged on a streetlight

So that people do not se him, shouting in the night

 

Gothic town, gothic town. Ain't looking for a clown

Gothic town, gothic town. Shoot the bats hanging down
