Rise up and Kill!

Here’ my new heavy metal song titled, “Rise up and Kill.” The original title was "Kill the Believers," but I thought "Rise up and Kill" was more appropriate. The lyrics will be written first and later in the afternoon I’ll pull out my bass and start working on some riffs. I’ve included some ideas for a video.

It starts out like this beginning with the video scene:

SCENE: A young child is sitting in the church pew on Sunday morning. He has an evil grin on his face, frustrated at hearing this preacher’s fire-and-brimstone speech. He clutches his fists as anger begins to swell inside.

Oh, evil father of the most high
How long must we believe this lie

They manipulate with fear and sin
To keep the ignorant coming back again and again

The ignorant fill the pans full of gold
And the preacher still have the nerve to be so bold
Don’t think for yourself, do as you’re told

SCENE: We go to a room in the back of the church that is full of jars with people’s brains in them. Churchgoer’s brains. A new person joins the church, and the process of taking his brain out is shown as it is labeled and placed on the shelf. The preacher shouts out in a hideous laugh as he throws gold coins in the air.

They place your mind in a cage
Breakout! Breakout! Release your rage!

Break the chains of ignorance and fear
Open your ears so you can hear

Open a six pack of Bud Light (My sponsor needs to be mentioned somewhere!)
Drink a lot, let’s have a fight

SCENE: Across the nation angry mobs take to the streets, looting and waving their fists in the air. Churchgoers running for their lives. A raging lunatic takes his sword and beheads the preacher. He puts the head on the end of the sword, raises it into the air as the crowd asks for more. A fury takes over the crowd as their appetite for bloodlust increases.

SCENE: Churchgoers wake up, rush the churches, taking back their brains.

Rise up! Rise up! Let’s set things straight
Come on now, don’t hesitate!

It’s time for EVIL to rise
Put an end to all these lies!
Let the dead bodies rot with flies

Rise up! Rise up! Let’s kill
Don’t need courage, do it for the thrill

CHORUS (with the sound of fire and bombs exploding in the background, along with frenzied sounds of people screaming):

Rise up, rise up and kill!
Rise up, rise up and kill!
Rise up, rise up and kill!

Hey Mr. Preacher, I don’t need your lies
Can think for myself, you can’t hypnotize

Listen to this if you care to hear
We’re not buying your lies and fear
