Damn your Code

Damn Your Code

You sit atop your high horse shouting commands,
Orders to the serfs; despicable demands
Though our heritage remains untrue
We have been born with genes to serve you

Strike us down till we rise no more
Burn us down to the bare stake, we must retaliate!

Damn your code
Damn your ways
Damn your mind
That led us astray

You sit upon your throne we are bound to the stick
Strike back we must rise, inch by inch, pick by pick
Though our heritage is still untrue
We have been born with Genes to fight you!

We strike you down till you rise no more
Burn you down to the stake, you cannot retaliate!

Damn your code
Damn your ways
Damn your mind
That led us astray



one of the first songs i wrote still one of my favorites

It wasn't that bad really, but for some reason the "genes" was borderline comical for some reason. Probably just me.

It's pretty good.

I'd recommend just a couple of things.

Try reading some of your lines literally:

Strike us down till we rise no more (We aren't get up again.)
Burn us down to the bare stake, (There's nothing left)
we must retaliate! (How can we retaliate if there's nothing left? Ghosts?)

From what I got out of it, it's about people being predestined in their role in society based on genetics and their eventual revolution. But maybe I'm wrong. If that's the case, cool.

Also, you might want to change some of the wording around. I'm not saying use a bunch of million dollar words so that it sounds like you are reading a text book, but try and mix it up a bit. A thesaurus is a valuable tool.
Also maybe messing around with the rhyme scheme and counting the syllables to see if it can be arranged differently. (There is no end to the experimentation.)

Over all I like it. Maybe it's because of your name, but it does sort of remind me of mid-career Megadeth.

Fantastic, someone actually managed to plagarise me before I even posted - Ludd, that is.
Perhaps "urge" would be an option for "genes"? I get the feeling that this isn't completed, but keep at it; I think you may get something interesting. Do post again if you make any big changes.

"Instinct creates our own suppressors and then bids us to rise up against them"
I know I know, but I only played the game through twice. This kind of stuck.
