DEMO COMING: I'm more of a write lyrics first, figure out the music and crap later kind of writer.
Lyrics
(Verse) What were you thinking? Were you just afraid? Nothing can take back the mistake you made They needed a token, a traitor to join their band You wasted no time in raising your hand
(Chorus) OooOOoooohhhh oh! You're a traitor, a selfish spineless coward, OooOOoooohhhh oh! Had a chance at greatness and put your worst foot forward OooOOoooohhhh oh! Kicked your problems down the road OooOOoooohhhh oh! And now you'll die alone
(Verse 2) The bodies are falling, there's blood on the street Saved the skin on your back through your moral conceit I hope it was worth it, I hope you treasure this time Because either way this goes, once the fight is over you're fucked
(Chorus) OooOOoooohhhh oh! You're a traitor, a selfish spineless coward, OooOOoooohhhh oh! Had a chance at greatness and put your worst foot forward OooOOoooohhhh oh! Kicked your problems down the road OooOOoooohhhh oh! And now you'll die alone
(Bridge) They died so you could feel special So you could be spared their wrath But your usefulness is running out And the poison is already in the cup
(Chorus) OooOOoooohhhh oh! You're a traitor, a selfish spineless coward, OooOOoooohhhh oh! Had a chance at greatness and put your worst foot forward OooOOoooohhhh oh! Kicked your problems down the road OooOOoooohhhh oh! And now you'll die alone
This is quite visceral. It’s got bite. It’s got fire. And certainly condemning. Not sure what the music will be, but I’d be interested to hear how it all comes together in the end.
