Well, here I go again: hijacking a Marino tune.  I was on the toilet and lyrics came to mind.  Then... I hopped onto BandAmp (like the little bunny I am) and perused the forum for any new tunes by Marino.  And I found one (well I found two, but the other one wasn't as exciting as this one).  Without intentions of setting my "bathroom" lyrics to his song, by surprise, the concept for them fit!  So I did!  Yay!  In about two hours, I had the lyrics written and my voice recorded upon Marino's music.

Now, Marino, you upsetted me very, very, very much, when you made up excuses for why lyrics I wrote for two of your other songs couldn't be used.  I hid in a closet full of ice for two weeks... how dare you!  And now I'm back from the numbing cold for revenge!  REVENGE... by spewing my anger upon your musical landscape.

I entitle these harrowing lyrics... Project Must End!


Dawn breaks, but no sun shines on a dying planet
13 billion years of evolution produces nothing but waste
Throw upon it a beast so dumb which can't control its own fate
Tied to a plot that in the end results in complete destruction
Made by a god reducing faith; spilling innocent blood
Confining spirits for programmed crimes

Hey God!  This project must end!

Maiming beauty with oil-based paste to hide your creature's shame
Recycling life for others to eat but progress stays the same
Step right through the blessed gates of Heaven's fraudulant scheme
Place your hands upon God's lap and fall into a nightmarish dream
Reality exists but you will find it's broken into pieces
Rotting away for all to suffer in

Hey God!  This project must end!

Man's a sin!

Sin!

This project must end!

Hey God!
Hey God!
This project must end!


(And, again, I must say that Marino did not approve these lyrics or my vocals for his music.  I'm just self-centered that way!)

(Lisa, you get your own parenthetical sentence too... DO NOT TOUCH MUSIC! MINE!)

On Wednesday evening, I read Marino's post about how the music for "VK 1 test" was for his VK project (see post)... um, what is that?  Anyways, when I heard the song I started spitting out some words and melodies, so I scribbled some lyrics down soon afterwards and recorded some tracks the next day.  I did a rough mix and just finished it before I posted it here on Saturday morning.

I've entitled the lyrics for this song, "For Keeps"; although, I'm not implying that's Marino's wishes for the music.  In fact, Marino had no idea that I was recording myself upon his music... but he soon will!

Marino posted a song without vocals entitled, "Utopia"; see post.  I listened to the song and praised him for his accomplishment, and asked him if I would be allowed to write lyrics to it and record them.  He said to go ahead and do it.  So I sat down with pen in hand to write lyrics embracing the concept of utopia.  A few ideas drifted through my mind, but nothing inspired me to write further.

I wrote Marino an email to let him know that college was starting soon, and since I work full-time also, that working on lyrics for his song would probably take a back seat to my other responsibilities.  After I sent that email to him, I sat down, put on my headphones, and listened to "Utopia" once more to see if some words would spring forth.  From that moment on, from the first character I placed on a notebook page, my lyrics realized.

Marino: all music, except voices
witch wyzwurd: all voices, except pre-recordings
pre-recordings: public-use (I'll provide details later)
