"This Jesus Must Die"

Locations & names have been removed, so make sure to fill them in! Swap pronouns as necessary!

Good (name), the Council waits for you.

Ah, gentlemen, you know why we are here.

We've not much time, and quite a problem here.

Listen to that howling mob of blockheads in the street.

The whole town's on its feet.

He is dangerous!

A rabble-rousing mission that I think we must abort.

Look, (name), they're right outside our yard!

No, wait!

We need a more permanent solution to our problem.

What then to do about (name) of (place)?

No riots, no army, no fighting, slogans.

One thing I'll say for him, (name) is cool.

We dare not leave him to his own devices.

His half-witted fans will get out of control.

How can we stop him?

His glamour increases by leaps every minute.

He's top of the pole.

I see bad things arising!

I see blood and destruction!

Our elimination because of one man.

Blood and destruction because of one man.

Where do we start with a man who is bigger than (name)?

Fools, you have no perception!

The stakes we are gambling are frighteningly high!

We must crush him completely!

So like (name), this (person) must die!

For the sake of the nation, this (name) must die!

"Heaven On Their Minds"

Locations & names have been removed, so make sure to fill them in! Swap pronouns as necessary!

My mind is clearer now.

I can see where we all soon will be.

You've started to believe the things they say of you.

All the good you've done will soon get swept away.

You've begun to matter more than the things you say.

Listen, ______, I don't like what I see.

All I ask is that you listen to me.

"I've been your right hand (man) all along."

You have set them all on fire...

They'll hurt you when they find they're wrong.

I remember when this whole thing began.

And believe me, my admiration for you hasn't died.

Every word you say today, gets twisted round some other way.

They'll hurt you if they think you've lied.

Don't you see we must keep in our place.

We are occupied.

Have you forgotten how put down we are?

I am frightened by the crowd.

They'll crush us if we go too far.

Listen ____ to the warning I give!

Please remember that I want us to live!

Your followers are blind.

It was beautiful but now it's sour.

He won't listen to me!

Would you believe all these years aren’t enough? I need more time. I need time to help him learn to be alone. I also want more time with him.

“Carnival of Rust” Lyric Starters

Inspired by/Taken from “Carnival of Rust” by Poets of the Fall

D' you breathe the name of your saviour in your hour of need?

Taste the blame.

The flavor should remind you of greed.

Implication, insinuation and ill will.

Cause I'm thirsty for your love.

Feed the rain.

Dancing underneath the skies of lust.

Without your love my life ain't nothing.

It's all a game, avoiding failure.

All in the name of misbehavior and the things we don't need.

No disaster can touch us anymore.

I hope to never fall.

Enough is not the same as it was before.

Don't walk away!

The world is burning.

“War” Lyric Starters

Inspired by/Taken From “War” by Poets of the Fall

Do you remember standing on a broken field?

The harbingers of war with their nature revealed.

If I can let the memory heal...

I will remember you with me on that field.

I thought that I fought this war alone.

You were there by my side.

I thought that I fought without a cause.

You gave me a reason to try.

I need to see something new.

For now my innocence is torn.

We cannot linger on this stunted view.

Like rabid dogs of war.

I will let the memory heal.

We fought to believe the impossible.

We were one with our destinies entwined.

You gave me the reason why.

No-one wears their real face.

It's a whiteout of emotion.

I've only got my brittle bones to break the fall.

It's like moving in slow motion.

We're already too late if we arrive at all.

Then we're caught up in the arms race.

We're shedding every value our mothers taught.

Will you please show me your real face?

I only need your name to call the reasons why I fought.

“Tiny Dancer” Lyric Starters

Inspired by/taken from Tiny Dancer by Elton John

That's a blue jean baby.

She’s pretty eyed with a pirate’s smile.

You’ll marry a music man.

She just laughs.

The boulevard is not that bad!

The words she knows, the tune she hums.

But oh how it feels so real!

Lying here with no one near.

Only you can hear me.

Hold me closer tiny dancer.

Count the headlights on the highway.

Lay me down in sheets of linen.

You had a busy day today.

You must have seen her dancing.

And now she's in me, always with me.

photopea.com is also a decent replacement for Photoshop; not as all-encompassing, more than likely, but at least for what I need, it gets the job done more intuitively than GIMP did for me.
