Catholic Metal Song Writer?

Question

Yo my cousin and I have started a band called Wild Truth. It is a metal/rock band that is Catholic. We need some good lyrics and I would appreciate it if some of you guys could give me some songs. I might not use your songs but I will try them out. We really need them and if I like your song you can email me. What would be even better if you could include chords for guitar. Thanks a lot guys!!l

Answer 1

I play with my parish's folk group(Yeah, this is going to be like comparing Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young to say, Sonic Youth, but hey, it's music and it's Catholic)- I'd start by doing 'metallic' arrangements of some known songs and hymns-see how some of the stuff translates-

Once you get some kind of 'basic sound,' expand from there-more than once, (we're all older (50+) ex-gigging musicians in the group, and the pastor's come up to us once or twice after Mass and said things like, " I didn't hear a few notes from a (pick one) Grateful Dead/Led Zeppelin/CSNY song, did I?

I'd run with this idea-I hope it catches!

Good Luck,
Seamus

Answer 2

here's some lyrics

I'm a decrepit and wretched mess of an old soul,
Lifeless flesh resurrected and pulled from a cold hole.
My sanity has weakened and lessened, when I'm weeping Heaven listens in sadness,
I speak like a freakish reverend peakin' on seven hits of acid.
And if your life can be equated with the blatant need of a nasty shag,
You've likely also been decieved into believing that freedom is a flapping flag.
All this pain, life is morbid and tainted with insane passion,
And your face is a portrait painted in the same fashion.

Just give me credit when you use them.
