The song may need a few tweaks here and there, but all things considered its good. I added two more solos and a 'Becoming the Dragon' influenced ending. So one more track and the albums finished.
I'm just kidding you mania45454, I know that writing lyrics and writing music is very different, yet I myself am very safe writing em. I could even turn a song about shaving into something cool. I get a lot of satisfaction from writing stuff. But I have to do a lot of research before I can write something worthful. It's actually like doing a university thesis, if I write about mining, I need to meet people who works in mines, I need to go into the hole, need to understand the issues, feel the dangers, etc. I also like to consider past events, like the way miners were treated long ago. When I've gattered all these information, writing the lyrics becomes a safe ground. You see, it's nothing magic, but it's worth the pain believe me.
i agree w/Chainsaw here but at the same time you gotta think about the vox and how that will influence the song too. Granted, your verses don't have to repeat 4x but we can't completely tell until the vox are done. And this is good stuff man.
And for the vox, I'm learning it too, with my "hunting of the snarks" projects. It consists in assigning a note for each syllable of a poem. Since the poem has been previously written by "Caroll Lewis" (Who wrote Alice in wonderlan), it's a lot easier. I consider it as a good way to learn. Give it a try, very instructive.
Here for the lyrics, I would suggest somekind of retrospective, describing some historical evolution of a cursed blade through times. Like the tale around the Aragorn's sword in the lord of the rings, which has been broken after having wounded the evil, but has been reforged aterward by elves, when the evil began to resurrect...
