It's Dream Theater's Octavarium, but I'm pretty sure it's just a problem with my disk drive or something. I'm thinking about trying it on a different computer, then putting the tracks on a flashdrive and transferring them.

Hey....I write songs too. Yours are pretty good, Ryan.
Here's the favorite I've written, ATM - (note: not all my songs are long, I just happen to like those best) Cleanse Disease born in the heart Eats the mind Soul is sickened within For all of time But You came and rescued From ourselves And You came and rescued From ourselves Why do You care? How could You die for me? Why are you there Hanging from the cross for me? I’m so aware I don’t deserve this life So I’ll prepare My praise for You Disease of mind not consuming Anymore Purpose of life not confusing Now that we Know just who our Father Is and we Strive to know Him further He is love Why do You care? How could You die for me? Why are you there Hanging from the cross for me? I’m so aware I don’t deserve this life So I’ll prepare My praise for You Why do You care? How could You die for me? Why are you there Hanging from the cross for me? I’m so aware I don’t deserve this life So I’ll prepare My praise for You Surrender Give it up Your world Your heart Give it back To Creator Your love Your praise Give Him what He deserves Your thanks Your life Oh, can’t you see He has died for me Oh, just believe He will set you free I’m on my knees Thanking Him, as He’s All I need And loving who I could be Already Bring me home, don’t leave me here In the dark, soulless night I have stumbled on my own path He has picked me up once again Thank You Father You are More than I could Beg for In all My dreams You are All I Need and All I Want to Be Why do You care? How could You die for me? Why are you there Hanging from the cross for me? I’m so aware I don’t deserve this life So I’ll prepare My praise for You Creator of Heavens And Earth and Angels None is as beautiful as You are None is so worthy or filled with such Glory As the wonders of You, Lord And in Your beauty and grace You found room in Your Embrace For this sinner, You set me free You saw the beauty of this beast Why do You care? How could You die for me? Why are you there Hanging from the cross for me? I’m so aware I don’t deserve this life So I’ll prepare My praise for You Why do You care? How could You die for me? Why are you there Hanging from the cross for me? I’m so aware I don’t deserve this life So I’ll prepare My praise for You You saw my beauty They saw a beast You cut the shackles They had on me The lies of this world No longer impair The cries of my soul To know You Lord come, Cleanse me Take me Home with You and Cleanse me Of this Stain the World has Put on Me, Lord Cleanse me! Why do You care? How could You die for me? Why are you there Hanging from the cross for me? I’m so aware I don’t deserve this life So I’ll prepare My praise for You

Woah! That is very long... and also very good! Thanks for sharing it with us. Here is another one of mine:
I have some long ones (It's bound to happen when you have almost 400) but they aren't too great. My best ones are at this length: -[Seas of Confusion]- Cast into a raging sea Below the skies of grey My long forgotten destiny Lies so many miles away Swimming in the seas of confusion The sword falls from my hand Falling for a dark illusion Rising from the burning sand I slip away Temptation plays it's games I try to play But I am cast into the flames Tossed into the seas of fire I enter into night Giving in to my every desire I've given up the fight The sun is rising in the sky Is this but a fantasy? I'm falling down, LORD lift me high Into the realms of eternity Lift me from the sea of ashes I want this life no more I feel the pain of a thousand lashes I see the scars of war You come to me With bleeding wrist You let me see Beyond the mist You cleanse my soul Of all I've done Though night is dull I see the sun Rescued from the raging sea Below the skies of grey LORD you know my destiny This life I'm living, every day

400? Man, I have like, 40. I had potentially 60, but I threw some out because they weren't any good. Lol
Well....if you think that's long.....I finished my autobiography in song format. My goal was to write the most moving piece I've ever written, and also the longest (11 pages in microsoft word, 12 pt Times font), and still have it point to hope in Christ. A New Age Dawns [I – Intro: Ground Zero] Darkness inside controls your mind Search for the light, seek truth inside Preemptive strike to hide the light You must break free and start the fight Darkness inside controls your mind Search for the light, seek truth inside Preemptive strike to hide the light You must break free and start the fight [II – Act 1: A Black Sunrise] Prisoner Of the heart Held captive by oppressive lies Soul shackled Growing weak Bound and chained to keep the dreamer down Once you said That you cared And I believe you and gave you my trust Once you said You loved me Now I know you used your lies to control my mind My heart and my soul Are empty within Because of you You’re lying again Always playing games You’re selfish and you take Away from me This black sunrise Daylight’s never felt so bleak before You’ve damaged my mind My heart and my soul Are empty within Because of you You’re lying again Always playing games You’re selfish and you take Away from me [III – Act 2: The Mourning of Lost Souls] Nowhere is home Far from all I’ve known All of my pain To my heart, rests so close I’ve set to roam Lost forever on my own To my eternal shame I can’t find my way home Darkness inside Controlling my mind My heart is cold Turned from warm and bold Generations of lies Advanced by oppressive liars Killing me inside I’m so cold, I can’t hide [IV – Act 3: High Noon of the Black Sun] Tempted to believe the lies Tempted to freeze inside Tempted to let the blood run Pouring down as the pavement draws near Six feet of lies Has led to my demise Buried inside I know I’ve died Tempted to believe the lies Tempted to freeze inside Tempted to let the blood run Pouring down as the pavement draws near I’ve felt naught by pain But I know the greatest pain Is yet to come Tempted to believe the lies Tempted to freeze inside Tempted to let the blood run Pouring down as the pavement draws near My long lost friend I still feel you there My only hope I know you care My Lord, Savior Is it You I hear? Why won’t You rescue me From my despair? Tempted to believe the lies Tempted to freeze inside Tempted to let the blood run Pouring down as the pavement draws near [V – Act 4: After Noon, the Black Sun Begins to Fall] Abandoned by the light Never knowing right Justice is a joke I begin to choke Darkness presses in Taking over my thoughts again Rage boils over Words fall like fire Dealing with what’s wrong Not with the light But with what’s wrong I turn cold to escape the cold I use fire to fight the fire I rage to calm the seas Can’t You rescue me I don’t know myself No more will I live this way It’s You or death, Lord Overlook what I’ve done wrong Save me from what I’ve become [VI – Act 5: An Evening with the Devil Within] Dwelling in the darkness Hiding from the light Waiting for the chance To rise up and strike Flaming swords descend Frozen heart awaits The war inside rages Darkness hopes I’ll take its bait The angels strike again Cutting away the darkness inside The demons will not die Only God can save me from my mind Only You could see the beauty within Only You could save what I have become Only You could stop the beast within Only You could warm a heart that’s become so numb [VII – Act 6: The Dusk of Darkness/Setting of the Black Sun] “Oh, you think you’re lost, but I see you Oh, you want to scream, but I hear you Oh, you’ve become so numb, but I feel you Oh, you think you’re alone, but I know you Oh, you are my son, and I love you How could you ask if I care? How could you question if I’m there? You know me, you feel me You know I’ve died so you can be with me You know I’m there when nobody else can be I know you’re so tired of hearing The sound of your tears I know you’re so tired of dying Buried by their lies Find rest with me Never hurt again Find love with me Never hate again I can burn your hate away I can take your pain away I can bring you love now I can bring you peace now You can come to me Your past will be erased No matter what you’ve done I’ll be waiting” [VIII – Act 7: Night of Redemption] I know You’re there I know You care I don’t know why You died for me But now I know who I want to be I will live for You To He who is great, I give my praise. Creator of all, holder of my heart. Lord, forgive me. I have sinned and rejected You. I turned from Your grace time and time again. I tried to live on my own. I know I cannot, but still I try. Please, fix what I’ve messed up. Grant me humility in the future, to recognize that I need You in order to live. Grant me patience, that I do not alienate those close to me with arrogance. Grant me forgiveness, that I may not burn when I die, but instead reside with You, Father, in eternal paradise. In your Son’s, my Savior’s, name – Amen I know You’re there I know You care I don’t know why You died for me But now I know who I want to be I will live for You [IX – Act 8: A New Age Dawns] Once I was Held captive Now I’m free and my wings are spread to fly Once I was Full of hate Fed lies to oppress me and what I could be Once You said You’d save me You’d get take me far away from all the lies Once You said You loved me And You died for me so I might be with You You said to me “step down off the ledge My friend, forget the lies they’ve said” Now I believe I am worth more than They led me to believe You said to me “put down the knife My friend, forgive the pain they’ve caused” Now I know I am loved more than They led me to believe You asked me “will you come with me Heal your scars and live the life you want to?” I told you I’d do whatever it takes to be with You Forever [X – Outro: Forever] There’s nothing I want more There isn’t anything I need Than to be with You My Father who rescued me There’s nothing I could ask for There isn’t anything I see That I want more than You My Father who rescued me I want to be with You forever Live in Your halls, work in your Kingdom Bow to your throne, worship your presence You died so I could be with You Forever I want to be with You forever Live in Your halls, work in your Kingdom Bow to your throne, worship your presence You died so I could be with You Forever There’s nothing I want more There isn’t anything I need Than to be with You My Father who rescued me There’s nothing I could ask for There isn’t anything I see That I want more than You My Father who rescued me I want to be with You forever Live in Your halls, work in your Kingdom Bow to your throne, worship your presence You died so I could be with You Forever I want to be with You forever Live in Your halls, work in your Kingdom Bow to your throne, worship your presence You died so I could be with You Forever

WOAH! THAT is long! I'll read it when I get the chance.
Here is a long one by me: (Not super long... just a bit!) (A bit dark lol) -[Wanderer]- [I- Lost] Searching for a door In a hall unending Searching for more In the shadows descending Lost in this land I try creating path But no control is in my hand Of our God almighty's wrath Destined to fall I won't admit that it's true I can hear the call But there is nothing I can do I wander the street With no goal to behold I take a shameful seat A silent stare so cold [II- The Shadows] I've tried so hard with all my heart To fake this life and win it all The shadows melt my work of art Into the shadows, deep, I fall No light can we see No bells can we hear What's become of me? The stranger whispers in my ear: "Into the shadows of the night Just join me, I'll prevail We will win this midnight fight No lie beneath this veil!" I wander the street Without a light, my own way I take a shameful seat I fear I'll never see the day [III- The Voices] Trying to sleep With the voices dark song I'm falling down so deep The nightmare oh so long And I cannot show What is dwelling within And you never will know What evil lurks beneath my skin The beast awakes I'm one with the voices of the night The whole earth shakes There seems no end to their midnight flight I wander this land With no goal to behold Nothing in my hand A silent stare so cold [IV- Dead of Night] And the worst is yet to come So beat the midnight drum Unleash the power of the night The darkest rider's midnight flight The shade of night is growing stronger The voices cry to me The time wasted is growing longer There is no end to see I race off the edge into more abyss An endless loop of doom What will come? What's come of this? I'm trapped inside this room I wander alone With no goal to behold The silence has grown As I have grown cold [V- Self-Control] I rise again Yes, I the dark lord The lions den Will fall under my sword And I will stand on high No beast will strike me down I tell myself this lie I crown myself, a serpent's crown I try to control What is not in my hands I am losing my soul Lost within shadow lands I wander this tale With no goal to behold A smile painted veil Beneath is a face so cold [VI- Madman Breakdown] Here I stand In the shadows In the land By the gallows A cast my life within the lake And dance around in fear I scream aloud, "this life please take!" Why can't you see the tear? I am dying without you There is nothing I can do In the night I still remain So wash away this sinner's stain I have wandered alone With only sin to behold And I have come to your throne Withered, dying, and old [VII- By Your Blood] LORD take it away It's by your blood I live You bring me life today I'm undeserving of what you give I raise the sword With my life in your hand And I join the horde Of the holy land And it's by your blood alone LORD I come before your thrown A rebel forgiven again and again A child born from the lions den And I will wander no more For you have given me sight I have entered the door Into eternal light

Thanks man! Yes... It's a common theme for me. I have done some sci-fi ones also though. Only a couple. I write mine into a series then release them on a forum or something. 6-12 in a series. My latest series is called "Nightmare Come To Life". It's not yet released. I believe I've had like... 38-40 releases so far. All are pretty long and have a theme.
BTW your's are very biblical and quite refeshing.

Thanks.....I just try to write honestly. Christ's a big part of my life, so Scripture works its way in here and there
Here's one I wrote from a prophetic word I had - Weather the Storm Storm clouds rolling in Darkness falls on your heart again I see the pain within I see how the thunder resounds inside you A tsunami of despair is falling again Oh, give your pain to me When life is pouring rain And hail is beating resistance When there’s ice on the ground And lightning aimed at you When a hurricane’s sweeping through Tornado watch in your heart You know you have a friend in me Take my hand and I’ll save you I’ll help you weather the storm The rain’s in torrents now You’re falling on your knees The flood is coming down Blood is falling all around Your blood replaced with mine Oh, take shelter with me When life is pouring rain And hail is beating resistance When there’s ice on the ground And lightning aimed at you When a hurricane’s sweeping through Tornado watch in your heart You know you have a friend in me Take my hand and I’ll save you I’ll help you weather the storm Fear in the sky Death here below Wanting to cry Pain you’ve never known I can feel your pain I’ve been in your place I know your name I died to take your place When life is pouring rain And hail is beating resistance When there’s ice on the ground And lightning aimed at you When a hurricane’s sweeping through Tornado watch in your heart You know you have a friend in me Take my hand and I’ll save you I’ll help you weather the storm

I really like it. Also, the fact that it shows in your lyrics does show it's a major part of your life. Well... it should be. In fact it's our purpose. to give God glory that is.

Here's a pretty new one:
-[A Tale of The Void]- (By MINARD777) Cast into the void Surrounded by the masters of illusion So many spirits to avoid Seas of life but seas of confusion? Bitter are the tears I cry Why night invade my soul? I Watch the roses slowly die I wander 'round the nightmare, dull Mirror, mirror on the wall Who is the greatest king of all? Night by night I watch them fall Why must I wait for the midnight call? Oh cursed kings of dust Masters of the void of lies? Shatter the mirror if I must And watch as our world slowly dies Staring into the void of madness Serpentine, oh kings of fear Dripping down oh tears of sadness Why shed another tear? Is this world all lived within? The mask cannot prevail? LORD have I lived a life of sin? Why dwell within a cursed tale? Tonight we fly Into the land of eternal light! Tonight we die Then resurrect above the night! Christ the king has shed his blood For those who search the void And as it drips into the mud We see the truth we can't avoid Our sin so great His love far more It's never to late To open the door ...AND STEP BEYOND THE VOID!

Dream Breaker
Don’t you dare to Say you care about me Don’t you dare to Claim that you love me Don’t you dare to Try to blame this on me Don’t you dare to Think I’ll pay your price this time No one’s there, no one cares Nobody could love you Liar Never before Had I thought anyone Could be as selfish as you Innocence ripped apart By the Dream Breaker Don’t you think you Can take from me again Don’t you think you Can point the finger this time I know I’m loved Liar Never before Had I thought anyone Could be as selfish as you Innocence ripped apart By the Dream Breaker I thought I’d died Felt like I was in Hell Each day was a new worst day Trapped with the Dream Breaker -No one’s there, no one cares. Nobody could love someone like you. You’ll be alone forever I know I will die alone, but I will be loved. I am loved. Liar -You are a nothing! You can’t make a difference, why bother? You aren’t good enough What we do DOES matter, more than you can imagine. What I do matters. -You are the dirt on society’s shoes, get out and be done pretending to be human Nobody is subhuman. We were created equally, we are loved equally. -Nobody loves you Liar Do you think you’ve won? Do you feel proud? All the pain you’ve caused me All the hate you’ve brought me All the lies you’ve taught me Does it make you proud? Liar Dream breaker You own me no longer Dream breaker I’m taking back my stolen years Dream breaker Prisoner no longer Now that I’m free Of the Dream Breaker

Uhhh.....it's like, a month or so old, I think. Oh, the italics are spoken, not sang, if you coudn't tell, and it's in conversation/dialogue format....the one's with the hyphens are said by one person, the ones without are said by someone else. It makes sense to me :P

It's mostly pretty boring, but there are a few good ones. I'll pretty much stop watching if this guy gets voted off. He's an amazing singer and a lot of fun to watch.
