Avarice
I'm not one for sharing such things as my lyrics with anyone outside my band although I'm stubborn to show even them bastards the lyrics. But I just thought fuck it.
Looking for some criticism and/or advice. The music's technical progressive death/thrash/fuckelse metal.
-
I am Macabre
I am Avarice
Before me there was peace, there was communion.
Then I arrived, spreading my malovelent force.
I am the reason for the original murder.
Throughout the throngs of men brutality emerged.
The only way for fellowship was symbiotic hate.
Once they realized this fire in their chests was me,
eradication begun. I can not be quenched.
(chorus)
I brought cupidity.
Souls would covet.
I brought gluttony and lewdness.
Souls would aphyxiate.
Aphyxiate!
I have spawned many evil deeds. There is not a soul without me.
The only way for fellowship was symbiotic hate.
In time they have adapted to it. Made it their own.
This world is infested and in their tongue I'm named Greed.
(chorus)

I liked this song. A little different in style from whats usually posted. But i like the angle that it is taken from. Songs like this get my attention a little better. Pretty deciently written. imo

I like this a lot.
Has an abstract angle, like in the personifying of avarice as the protagonist. The metaphors make the different abstract bits seem like solid, corporeal objects or events. That is a show of skill.
One mild dislike of my own is using metaphors like "I am the fire that cannot be extinguished". To me, they are a poor show. I would only use that in a situation where I am trying to say that I am truly an exception, something that is breaking the rules. And even there, I would use repititon of rule-breaking metaphors in the text's other contexts to show that.
Good though, and intelligently written. Good vocab'. Reminds of Meshuggah's Contradictions Collapse.

Really? Oh shucks...  
I'm flattered.
It is quite to my style I suppose.
I myself can see the differences though. |

True enough but I don't like repeating myself.
I repeat myself when under stress.

He does repeat the idea, and it's not simply rule-breaking. Try again.
