Liner Notes: 

This is one of the very first lyrics I wrote. I made a few changes for improvement. I love this one, and hope one day to find a full music production to fit. Hit me up if you want to collaborate!

Lyrics: 

I Am the Darkness

Dilapidated dwelling
Too much to mend
Unfaithful partner
Cheating friend
I am your illicit
Means to an end

Detonate the fire
Level the house
Pull the trigger
Extinguish the spouse
All is fair in love and war
I am your solution
To even the score
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
Insurance fraud
Sheer distrust

Time's come to fight
Two wrongs make it right
With battle lines drawn
I am the darkness
I am the darkness
I am the darkness before the dawn

Unscrupulous manager
Holding you down
A bitter child
Tightly wound
I'm conflict resolution
Underground

Apparent suicide
A planted note
Unmarked package
Controlled by remote
All is fair in love and war
I’m your solution
To even the score
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Unlawful promotion
Severed youth

Time's come to fight
Two wrongs make it right
With battle lines drawn
I am the darkness
I am the darkness
I am the darkness before the dawn

Corrupt politician
Running the show
Obsessive stalker
Won't let go
I am your offensive
Counterblow

Clandestine video
For the news to air
Unfortunate accident
A fall down the stairs
All is fair in love and war
I’m your solution
To even the score
What goes around
Comes around
Bribery, kickbacks
Hunted down

Time's come to fight
Two wrongs make it right
With battle lines drawn
I am the darkness
I am the darkness
I am the darkness before the dawn

I am the darkness
I am the darkness
I am the darkness before the dawn

This lyric is the darkness before the dawn. Dark, dark dark…

This is great! I like it a lot… Huge potential! Definitely could go the metal route, could also go almost in the opposite direction, building from a quiet acoustic treatment up to racing guitar and drums then back again.

Great work!!

Very clever lyrics, this will make a great song, hope you find a collab soon.

im afraid your excellent lyrics might get steamrolled in the thrash of metal, so i hope your collaborator takes the opposite route. id like to hear it spooky soft

Boy, do you have a good imagination and a way with words! I like the short phrases, too. Lots of options here for delivery. Nice work!
