Now, we are going to take our lines from day 6 (and 6.A, if you did it), and pull them together into a “final” version of the lyrics. You are allowed to edit, add, subtract, or whatever. Remember, the goal is not to have a great song, but to complete a set of lyrics arising from our brainstorming. I emphasize this because we are just practicing tools to have in our toolbox for when we are writing. Usually, we will not be in such a closed universe, but that helps when we are limited to 10 minutes of stretching our minds.
Vampire Fountain
One sun
One life
Undone
Tonight
Domino
Ripples out
Overthrow
Then shutdown
Lurking in the shadow of hypnosis
Trace your ballet across the dusky sky
Coveting a cocktail in the spatter of a spiral
Memories circulate and petrify
Smother the contagion with betrayal
Bloodlines conceal the devil in the stream
Emptying syringes in the current of myth
Debris drips down through the progeny
Tumbling dice create unholy life
Slit this desire, suggest a design
Pressure punctuates the pulse of the present
The fountain flushes flame down the pipe
We are warriors walking in the wrong realm
Moonlight mourners mounting mutiny
We are warriors waking in the wrong world
Eating away the eternal cemetery
Fast and loud
Furious shroud
Brave and proud
Lay it down
Wanton in our reckless hunger
Dreams die in our eternal slumber
Run round in your lethargic apathy
Liberate our will to end your distance
Nothing remains in our carnal bodies
Solely surviving is no existence
Out of touch and out of hand
Long in tooth but not for long
Power’s as pallid as your pride
Beating drums and battle horns
One last breath before dishonor
One last death to deliver order
One last collapse, conception slain
One last chance to stake our claim
Tumbled dice led this unholy life
Death to this desire, reject your design
Pressure punctuates the pulse of the present
The fountain flushed flame from the pipe
Fast and loud
Furious shroud
Brave and proud
Lay us down
We are warriors walking in the wrong realm
Moonlight mourners mounting mutiny
We are warriors waking in the wrong world
Eating away the eternal cemetery
