Inspired by the Rob Zombie movie, 31. Even used a lot of the dialogue from the movie, though I wouldn't recommend you take the time to check.
Side note: This was the first song I've written that I actually had to practice. And count.
The assignment: “Halloween week...write a song of macabre...a song based on a horror movie idea or character. Examples...Wrathchild America's "What's Your Pleasure", Iron Maiden's "Number of the Beast" or Blue Oyster Cult's "Godzilla". And make it rock too! Be afraid...be very afraid!”
lyrics
v1:
I'm not scared of fake blood
Holy shit, that's real blood
I'm not into knife fights
I just long for sunlight
Don't show me the chain blade
Just show me a new way
I'm not scared of fake blood
Holy shit, that's real
ch:
I'm not crazy
I'm in control
v1:
I'm not scared of fake blood
Holy shit, that's real blood
I'm not into knife fights
I just long for sunlight
Don't show me the chain blade
Just show me a new way
I'm not scared of fake blood
Holy shit, that's real
ch:
I'm not crazy
I'm in control
br:
Death has come to sing its quiet song
Oh, how they hide, it won't be long
Death strikes just once, then it's gone
ch:
I'm not crazy
I'm in control
v3:
I'm not scared of fake blood
Holy shit, that's...
