Always To Blame

The Legacy Inferno: Origins EP
3.) Always To Blame

RESENTMENT, IN HIS EYES!
KNOWN WELL, TO ALWAYS LIE!
YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT HIM!
HE DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU!
HE HAS GROWN SO DISTANT!
WITH NO NEED TO REPENT!
PUSHING THE WORLD ASIDE!
WITHOUT WEAKNESS TO HIDE!

He is Always To Blame.
Meant to live with the shame.
For a simple mistake.
That he didn't even make.

YOUR PASSING JUDGEMENT!
TO ONE WITHOUT REGRET!
NO SORROW, NO WEAKNESS!
HIS LIFE DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!
AARON, FELL ON HIS OWN!
BUT HE WAS LEFT ALONE!
FATHER CAN ONLY SEE!
THE BLAME INSIDE OF ME!

He is Always To Blame.
Meant to live with the shame.
For a simple mistake.
That he didn't even make.

HE DOESN'T SEE AT ALL!
WITH NO INTENT TO FALL!
HE DELIVERS THE BLAME!
LEAVING YOU WITH JUST SHAME!

(Solo)

He is Always To Blame.
Meant to live with the shame.
For a simple mistake.
That he didn't even make.

HE DID NOTHING WRONG!
YOU KNEW ALL ALONG!
HE IS ALWAYS TO BLAME!
MEANT TO LIVE WITH THE SHAME!
FOR A SIMPLE MISTAKE!
THAT HE DIDN'T EVEN MAKE!
THAT HE DIDN'T EVEN MAKE!
THAT HE DIDN'T EVEN MAKE!

Help Me!

The Legacy Inferno: Origins EP
2.) Help Me!

PULL ME BACK TO LIFE!

I AM SINKING BELOW THE CURRENT!
PRAYING FOR A HAPPIER ENDING!
I SAVED YOU, NOW I ASK FOR YOUR HELP!
BUT LIKE ALWAYS, YOU THINK OF YOURSELF!
WHAT IS LEFT FOR ME NOW, GOD SAVE ME!?
MY BROTHER IS SELFISH, AND VERY WEAK!
HE HAS NO DESIRE, TO HELP ME NOW!
PLEASE SAVE ME, MY TIME IS RUNNING OUT!

(HELP ME!) Pull me back to life.
(SAVE ME!) Help me stay alive.
I have to much left to live for.
I will not give in, anymore.

FIGHTING AGAINST THE CURRENT!
ITS MY CHANCE TO STAY ALIVE!
I'M NOT GIVING UP THIS TIME!
THIS WON'T BE THE DAY I DIE!
PUSHING TOWARD THE SHORE, I FIGHT!
BREATHEING IN THE LOVE AND LIGHT!
I STAND, KNOWING I SURVIVED!

(HELP ME!) Pull me back to life.
(SAVE ME!) Help me stay alive.
I have to much left to live for.
I will not give in, anymore.

My life returns to me.
At last I am set free.
With no desires to seek.

Mistake Of Mine

The Legacy Inferno: Origins EP
1.) Mistake Of Mine

NO MORE TIME!

OH GOD! DON'T LET HIM DIE!
FOR A STUPID MISTAKE OF MINE!
WAKE UP! I WON'T LOSE YOU!
WAKE UP! I WILL SAVE YOU!
BROTHER I HATE YOU NOW!
FOR THE PAIN YOU CAUSED ME!
AND THE TEARS I SHED OUT!
WHAT IS LEFT OF ME!?
AFTER EVERYTHING!

Its just a Mistake Of Mine.
That left me behind.
With nothing to hold on to.
No, nothing to lose.

Aaron, welcome to this world.
With so much left to live for.
But on this day, hope fades away.
Living with the mistakes, I've made.
It all still haunts me, TO THIS DAY!

BROTHER DON'T DIE HERE!
I CAN'T BARE THE PAIN!
OR THE CONSTANT FEAR!
OF YOUR DEATH IN VAIN!

Its just a Mistake Of Mine.
That left me behind.
With nothing to hold on to.
No, nothing to lose.

SO LONG HAVE I BEEN SEARCHING NOW!
FOR LOVE, AND A CHANCE TO GET OUT!
OH GOD, DON'T LET ME BE ALONE!
THIS IS A MISTAKE ALL MY OWN!
SO MUCH TORMENT IT HAS COSTED!
TO THE POINT, WHERE I HAVE LOST IT!
PLEASE, PULL ME BACK TO REALITY!
OH GOD, I ASK TO BE SET FREE!

(Solo)

Its just a Mistake Of Mine.
That left me behind.
With nothing to hold on to.
Not a thing to prove.
I am losing the fight. (TO SAVE HIS LIFE!)
Oh God, save him tonight. (DON'T LET HIM DIE!)
Don't destroy his hope, to survive tonight.
Don't take him away, bring him to the light.
OH GOD, SAVE MY BROTHER TONIGHT!

Air rushes through his body.
As he breathes in life again.
He opens his eyes, now free.
No fear, for his life to end.

Its just a Mistake Of Mine.
That left me behind.
With nothing to hold on to.
No, nothing to lose.
WE AREN'T GIVING UP YET!
NO, WE WON'T GIVE UP YET!

With twists and turn through out the story, this chapter will remain a very powerful one. And leave you wanting more, thats what gets me so excited about it! I have a lot of things going on this week, thats why I decided to wait a week until I post the Origins EP. But that will be coming soon. THANK YOU!!!

Short Announcement

I am excited to announce that I have started writing the Origins EP and I will have the first song done soon, then I will dig futher into it this weekend! Sometime next week, I hope to post some of the songs! Should be good, I like how its turning out so far! But for now I thought, that I should give the full song list. Since I now have it ready! Here it is:

The Legacy Inferno: Origins EP
1.) Mistake Of Mine
2.) Help Me!
3.) Always To Blame
4.) Fight Of Regret
5.) A Simple Prayer
6.) Parting Words

Who knows, I might begin posting this weekend! At least a song or two! Then I can start digging deeper into the series...and work on the first full length album!

The Writing Process

Writing Lyrics is a very difficult concept. It takes a lot of concentration and focus. What I find helpful is when you get yourself to focus, stick with it. And do your best to finish the song. The hardest part is when you get stuck. What I always do when I get stuck, is take a break. Go hang out with friends. Go where ever you want, to just pull yourself away from that one main focus. Let the things around you, help inspire some idea's. If you get an idea for a line or chorus part, or any other part of a song. Be sure to have a pencil and paper with you. To just write the little idea's that you have. When you go back to focusing on the song, your idea's tend to flow better. And that helps make the song better. One thing I always do after I finish a song, is edit, edit, edit! When you get everything the way you want it to. Then you will have a good song. For me there is always that one song, that doesn't need editing at all. It turns out perfect on the first draft. Those songs, usually when I post them end up getting the most comments. And very good feedback from others. If I was in a band, those songs would be "hit" songs. That is usually what happens to other bands, or singers. That one song that turned out perfect to them, is what they admire most about writing it. There are certain formats you can follow to writing lyrics. But It helps to switch it up. My War Of The Blade series, is what I call free verse. I didn't always follow a certain format. The problem with that is, that it is much more difficult to put to music. If you do plan to put it to music, the best thing is to count your syllables. Keep a constant count for a certain part of music, when you change the syllable count, you change the music accordingly. This particular series, I intend to follow a syllable count. But I intend to change up the count, accordingly to fit the music. Those are the basics of the writing process for me. Now, if you intend to write lyrics, its your choice to what style you choose to write in. But thats the basics of song writing, and the style I intend to follow. THANK YOU!!!

The Storyline

Just thought that I would give you the basics of the storyline. So that you may be able to pull the lines from the lyrics and connect it with the storyline. The story talks of 3 brothers. Roy, Nicholas, and Aaron. The first full length album talks about Guardians. Each of the 3 brothers has a guardian that watches over them. Roy's guardian is named, "Legacy." Nicholas's guardians name is, "Inferno." And Aarons guardians name is, "Gale." But their is some significant differences between them. First, Roy's Guardian is an Angel. Second, Nicholas's guardian is a Demon. Last, Aarons guardian is a half breed. Or half Angel and half Demon. They watch over them because of the kind of person they are. Roy is a bright and faithful person. While Nicholas is a dark lonely person. Aaron is caught in the middle between good and evil. This is what makes the conflict between them. In the Origins (EP), You learn a lot about the conflict between them. How much their parents care about them, and all the things that define who they are. That's why I thought it would a really powerful way to start the series off. Thats the basics of the storyline. Next post, I plan to talk about the writing process more. Maybe with a joke!

Welcome

Welcome! To The Legacy Inferno! This is my latest series, that takes a new turn in my writing of lyrics! If you are unaware, I post my song lyrics that I write. But they follow a series or storyline that I have created. This is my second series that I have written, or writing! That follows a storyline, which I have worked hard on! But lets start with the basics, on the next post I will give you the basics of the storyline. But this post, will tell you what I intend to do differently than my last series! On this blog I won't just post songs, I will talk about the writing process. How well my progress is coming with my current project. Maybe throw in a few jokes, and little things about myself. This should be a much more interesting blog than my last! First, I would like to say that my other series, "War Of The Blade," is nearly finished. And I was wondering what I could work on next. So then I came up with the idea of a new series. That I thought would be different, in many ways from my other works. This series, might be more relatable than my other series! It does follow some of the same themes, but the focus on war, and other topics. Won't come immeditly. War is somewhat of a major topic, but that won't come until later on in the series. Maybe toward the end of the series! This series talks more about good vs evil. But in a different sense. In the end it will be talking more about, Heaven and Hell. This might be more relatable than my last series. So I thought that this would make a more interesting topic! Something that people with a faith might relate too, and maybe to those without. But my intent is that no religion will be be upset about the things talked about in this series. Because I myself, have a faith! I don't intend to be sacrelgious, to anyone. Second, I thought I would give you the basics I know so far. I will be posting an EP, which is usually just a short version of an album. That is written to give you a hint, of what the upcoming album will be like. Usually though, they put a song or two from the upcoming album. So you know what to expect. I don't intend to post any songs from the upcoming album though. I intend to write the origins of the story in a little EP. That has 6 songs on it, that will give you the basics of the story, and will show you how I intend to write the whole series. I have already given the EP a name. It will be called, "The Legacy Inferno: Origins (EP). When I get the song list ready, I will post it for you. Also, the first album in the series has a name as well. I call it, "The Legacy Inferno 1: Guardian." Which I decided will be 11 songs. With an introduction song at the beginning. In the War Of The Blade series, I did make a mistake and leave out important parts of the story. So I wrote bonus songs, that filled in the gaps. That might happen in this series, although I will try not to let it happen. I might also be writing some more EP's for albums that I think don't connect well together. That is the basics that I wanted to lay out, so see you next time! :)
