Hi ya'll...Never posted on this board before but occasional 'The Porch' poster. Musician/songwriter here doing orginal songs (words and music) in my home studio. Here's a lyric I just finished to go with a melody I already had...Very heavy rock style with a PJ type 'political' overtone. Let me know what you think!
Battle Raging
Verse One
Markets lie and cheat…
Trading dreams like meat…
Panic on the street…
Battle’s raging…
Mortgage bought and sold…
Children in the cold…
Families growing old…
Battle’s raging…
Darkness in the towns...
Money underground...
Factories shut down...
Battle’s raging...
Terror overseas...
Brings us to our knees...
Global eco-freeze...
Battle’s raging...
Chorus
I’m saying
I’m staying
Engaging
The battle raging
I’m saying
I’m staying
Engaging
The battle raging
Verse Two
Left against the right…
Aisles inflame the fight…
Growth against the blight…
Battle’s raging…
Pain and dark abuse...
Offer no excuse...
Havoc on the loose....
Battle’s raging...
Darkness follows light
Dawn before the night
War in black and white
Battles raging…
Lies roll in like dusk
Clouding out the trust
Filled with greed and lust
Battle’s raging…
ChorusI
’m saying
I’m staying
Engaging
The battle raging
I’m saying
I’m staying
Engaging

Bridge – Battle Raging (x2)
Verse Three – Instrumental Verse
Chorus

The battle raging

Verse Four
War in foreign lands…
Blood beneath the sands…
Washing off of hands…
Battle’s raging…
Drones are overhead…
Spying on the dead…
Civil rights are bled…
Battle’s raging…
Soundless waves of pain…
Fallin down like rain…
Bouncing in my brain…
Battle’s raging…
Deep inside the core...
Indigent and poor...
Voices cry no more...
Battle’s raging…
Chorus
I’m saying
I’m staying
