Soldier Side- my take

[Knightmare]

I re-wrote the lyrics to the S.O.A.D song 'Soldier Side' from their last album (check out the original lyrics for yourself). I thought I'd give the song a different point of view from the original, and 15 minutes later, this is what I came up with:

FANATIC SIDE
Terrorists hoping that for dying they'll be saved
wondering when justice comes
Is it beyond the grave
Are they really heroes in their alternate lives
Maybe there's no Heaven
and no waiting virgin brides
They were cheering when their sons died
Allah's turned his back
The world's wrath's been awakened
They're never looking back
They were cheering when their sons died
Tell young men to go
He's gone so far to please his god
he's never coming home
Young men killing thinking that they'll still be saved
Wondering when Allah comes
will their deed be repaid
Violence to the people
Rebel tells the young his lies
Maybe you are unclean
Maybe you deserve to die
They were cheering when their sons died
Allah's turned his back
The world's wrath's been awakened
They're never looking back
They were cheering when their sons died
Tell young men to go
He's gone so far to please his god
he's never coming home
Welcome to the Fanatic Side
Where there's no-one to save me
The Faithful all grow up to die
and there's no-one to save me
Welcome to the Fanatic Side
where there's no-one to save me
The Faithful on the Fanatic's side
There is no-one to save me.

Wow, you're like a Bizarro Serj without the talent or elan.

 

[Knightmare]

What is sejan? And I think being able to create entirely new lyrics in 15 minutes and make them sound right takes some talent, wouldn't you agree?

 

[chinorocks]

Serj's lyrics we're better. And original.

The important thing is that you found it funny...

 

[Once Dead]

Lyrics can be very opinionated and props to you for thinking it out and putting a spin on it

I didn't find it funny. I thought I'd take a song appealing to leftist causes (like so many others do) and look at it from the other side. If you think it sucks or you hate it, fine. But seeing as this is 'The MUSIC & Movies forum', thought I'd share something I wrote.

Im not a 'lefty' or a 'righty'. I dont even know which one is which or what they stand for. And the less involved I am with politics the better.

I do however appreciate the songs of System of A Down, not because they are political or anything else, but because they make good music.
