Could we have a lyric writing competition.

If we submit lyrics to this site on gebneral discussion and the moderators review them. The best lyricist gets higher rep and their lyrics posted on the home site (or just a key quote that is particularly good). I think this would interest a lot of people.;)

P.S. sorry if there is a thread like this already but I haven't come across it.

I can't see why not, but yet again, like in the other thread about the Fan Art forum, it depends on how many are interested and want to submit to this;)

Here's one of my songs:

Revenge of the outcast

part1

Watching an iced sun
Winter coming, winter coming
What have we done?
We are running, we are running

We're in the dead of winter
It's a hard life, it's a hard life
Our steps are hindered
It's a hard life, it's a hard life

If we love this world, why kill it?
If we love the world, why kill it?

My face is paler
I feel no life, feel no life
dragged in a morgue trailer
I feel no life, feel no life

If we love this world, why kill it?
If we love the world, why kill it?

The death of music
It is imminent, it is imminent
Another fatal trick
It is imminent, it is imminent

Part2

The sound is whistling
The air is sizzling
What situation are we in now?

Land crushed by bombardiers
When the blaze finally clears
Will you please just take a bow?

My family were all caught in the fray
Their last wishes were to your dismay
To seek you, beat you, strangle you to death
And use your sinew to hang you by the neck

Fire-starter, here me now
You'd best fear me now
Revenge is a dish best served cold!

For such a feat
Of spite and deceit
I hear my family's cries of old

My family were all caught in the fray
Their last wishes were to your dismay
To seek you, beat you, strangle you to death
And use your sinew to hang you by the neck

O, now I've finally found you out
Just try to scream and shout
No one can keep you from me!

I see your eyes wide with fear
Now that I'm standing here
Rest assured, it's my knife that'll make you bleed!

Now that this is done
No more lives'll be wanton
And the world will be restored

Above your grave you'll hear no sorrow
As this has brought a better tomorrow
Though the price was your blood!

Basically, you'll be able to vote for anyone's poems other than your own. The poll will be public so we can all see who voted for which poem, just as a measure to ensure that no one tries to bypass this rule.

As for your concerns, I don't think that I'll end up winning all of the time. Everyone is a potentially excellent lyricist, if they put their mind to it.

I will admit though that "The revenge of the outcast" is one of my better sets of lyrics but I have wrote hundreds more as well but I'll try to write new material for this competition, ok?;)
