Description:
right now i'm feeling quite evil, you know with all the metal i'm listening to nowadays, but i always hated writing about evil things, it has to be evil but a deep kind of evil, thats what i want, there has to be some meaning in it, not just i'll kill you type. so this is what i came up with.
Evil Twin
You’ve been waiting You’ve been searching For the solitude so faraway. You’ve been seeing You’ve been watching Yourself morph into your evil twin. When the lights turn off You sit upright In the middle of the night Fearing what is to come If you fall down Deep in your sleep Because horrors await As chain reactions repeat Inside when you forget the outside. The angels of death Move around the world Silently in stealth In the night, in the dark You will seem to be Thinking only of your dream Because the change in you Will not appear before you Following the slipstream Locking you in the room. Want desires need Need begets greed Sow the seed And you shall reap Deep in your mind You will soon find What will it lead As your black deeds Stray behind The stalls of truth. Stealing your thoughts From your inside It is due to what You leave alone to rot Decaying your brain Seen as a boon in a parched place A smile on a gloomy face But inside it eats you Cause an idle mind is The devil’s workshop. Want desires need Need begets greed Sow the seed And you shall reap Deep in your mind You will soon find What will it lead As your black deeds Stray behind The stalls of truth. Split personality When your mind goes numb Blind imagination Because of the invisible sun Dual character Don’t wait for me, go run! Split open Forgotten when you dream When you see What you’re not supposed to Invoking the spirit within To come and rule your mind It’s your evil twin. Want desires need Need begets greed Sow the seed And you shall reap Deep in your mind You will soon find What will it lead As your black deeds Stray behind The stalls of truth. |

| A rather longish piece of writing. But that is stating the obvious. I feel that the build up was rather sluggish. And as I am not a great fan of longer poems you may want to take my comments with a grain of salt so to speak. If a longer piece is not tight enough and not moving quickly enough you might tend to lose the readers [no matter how great the talent or rendition] it's because most of us live in a fast paced reality. One curious tidbit though is that each stanza can almost stand by themselves as individual short poems.... pleasantly surprising.... | Posted on 2005-10-11 00:00:00 | by arkayye | [ Reply to This ] | hmm. i liked it. nice too see dark words have some deep meanings. lovely. this doesnt really seeem lyrical too me. just regular poetry. throughout the entire pieice you only went back to the title twice. liked it. dont like metal so i wouldnt know how this would go into the music part. | Split open Forgotten when you dream When you see What you’re not supposed to Invoking the spirit within To come and rule your mind It’s your evil twin. favorite stanza out of the whole thing. wraps up the whole piece too me. lovely. -soomie | Posted on 2005-04-01 00:00:00 | by poeticblindness | [ Reply to This ] | Zu, | This was pretty good, and I can see it set to metal. Be sure that the lines fit the tune. It looks like you jammed a few to make them work instead of using meter, but it can work with rock music sometimes, (ie...if line 6 in the 1st verse has 12 syllables/feet. then line 5 svesr 2 should be the same.) | Posted on 2004-10-23 00:00:00 | by jaycee | [ Reply to This ] | When I first started reading this I thought it would be just another mediocre attempt, but when I finished it I think it's great...I think it's a little lengthy but that is propably because it is a lyric not a poem. Your choice of words is quite cmmendable too. Nice work. | | Posted on 2004-10-23 00:00:00 | by Beast | [ Reply to This ] | This is good, I was going to comment on the lenght, but it is good. Since it is lyrics, i guess it is supposed to be a little long. Im glad you decided to write about the dark things in life, sometimes, those are the best! ;) I would have to say that the lenght of the verses in the 3rd and 4th stanzas work, but not wth the rest of it. The rest seems to be shorter, and come out quicker. well that may just be me. This is a good piece. Nice work. | Kera | Posted on 2004-10-23 00:00:00 | by Kera | [ Reply to This ] | Funny you should ask me to read this because I remember reading it before but for some bizarre reason didn't comment, sorry! Anyway, after a second read through I can say that these are some great metal lyrics, as per usual, and that I enjoyed reading them, there's not much else to add really, oh yeah, look for Nightmare, my next submission, coming soon to a page near you, lol. Rated 'R' for 'Retarded'. | | Posted on 2004-10-29 00:00:00 | by JimweiZERO | [ Reply to This ] | |
