The Tyrant

VERSE 1
The land is broken
The land is scarred
Conquer the land that is near and far
Houses burned down
And farms destroyed
On the land there's a major void
People torn from their normal ways
Lives destroyed in a mere few days
A voyage set for exploration
Turned into a new dictation

CHORUS
Guns are blazing
People are dying
But in his bed the king is lying
Running short on ammunition
Tyrants rule from acquisition
The king will deal with you,the defiant
But don't you worry,he's the tyrant

VERSE 2
An army of a thousand
A thousand for one
Bleeding the land for the death of everyone
The better it gets
The closer the edge
Now you're on the ledge
A decision to make
On a life to take
Could you really take another's life
For a life of war and a life of strife

CHORUS
Guns are blazing
People are dying
But in his bed the king is lying
Running short on ammunition
Tyrants rule from acquisition
The king has dealt with you,the defiant
But don't you worry,he's the tyrant

VERSE 3
A rifle or a shotgun
Or a machine gun in hand
March in formation
As a single band
Cross the banks
Break their ranks

CHORUS
Guns are blazing
People are dying
But in his bed the king is lying
Running short on ammunition
Tyrants rule from acquisition
The king has dealt with you,the defiant
But don't you worry,he's the tyrant
Guns are blazing
People are dying
But in his bed the king is lying

VERSE 4
So close to the victory
Your battle is our history
But you were shot in the head
You were shot dead
You never got
To see whether or not
If your comrades won
Or if they all died too
For the king,defiant
The ruler,the defiant

thanks sure why not post it i bet it is good all u need is confidence and even if people dont like it wats the worst that could happen,nobody will comment on it? go for it personally i dont think this was one of my best but thanks for the compliment

Santana, You are a strong writer. This could apply to any war that has ever been waged.

Any act of war is detesting and destroys more than is acquired as regards humanity, Santana.
You,IMHO, put that there really well.
Thanks for posting
You're going strong, my friend!

Overall, I thought this was a decent set of lyrics. Perhaps consider combining the second and third verses. I really like the line: "So close to the victory/Your battle is our history"
