I just wanted to give people a place to post the lyrics they're proud of, at least for now (because we all know that as soon as that internal editor gets loose, it will tear all the lyrics that we thought were quite well-written to shreds). Mine is kind of long, so I'll leave it where it is for now (in my excerpt). But I'd like to hear yours, if you want to share :)

Posts quickly before that internal editor cuts loose...

This is from "The Mirror of Reason", a long (long!) epic soliloquy sung by Winter, the eponymous Snow Queen:

And I will hold a mirror to this earth
I will bring this earth a smattering of reason
I will alter attitudes
And with the change of view
A change of season

I will show humanity its worth
I will cause this earth, discarded in your hinterland
Scattered on your lowest plains
This globe will I now make
Into a winter-land

Actually, this song is half-written, but I kinda like it. It's called "I Think I'm In Love" and it's sung by the Priestess of Fire, Raven.

Never thought it'd happen
Never thought it'd happen to me
I buried all these feelings
Thought that I was already free

I think I'm in love

Jean and Neo,
Both are really good. I can hear music when I read them. Amazing.

I have a few lyrics, most I really don't like, but this song I enjoy a lot. It's called "I Can Forget" and it's sung by the main character, a high school kid named Tim. It's supposed to be very creepy

I can forget
I can descend
Into the darkness
To meet my friend
Pain is my friend
Pain my salvation
Gone the hurt
Come the elation

Also, I have a song titled "The Pursuit of Dangerous Knowledge" which sounds so official it makes me laugh.

"The Pursuit of Dangerous Knowledge"- That sounds awesome. Anyways...

HE TALKED EVEN FASTER TO SMOTHER CONCERN
BUT THIS METRONOME SOUND FOLLOWED HIM LIKE HIS OWN
AT LAST HE BROKE DOWN- “POLICE, I WAS IT”
“I KILLED HIM AND NOW... GETTING LOUDER… LOUDER… LOUDER…
IS THE BEAT
OF HIS HEART…
THE TELL… TALE… HEART…

That's from where one character in my script is recounting to the other the tale of the Tell-Tale Heart. I always capitalize song lyrics for some reason.

Haha, thank you. I finally got around to writing that song, and I have to say it is so stuffy and official it's humorous. Here are some lines:

The pursuit of dangerous knowledge
Often requires the implantation
Of
Questionable practices
Practices such are shunned
By a the majority of society
Especially my colleagues in the medical profession
Which although not known for a spotless reputation
Shuns such practices
As I plan to use
To reveal to me the contents of his brain

That's great. Who sings it? (Like, one of the Broadway characters?)
