These lyrics have seriously been bugging me

"Soldiers of Misfortune" by Filter:

I'd like to break free from here
It's gotten clear the reason's have smeared
I'd like to break free form here
In the land of lonely
The reasons are phony

So pray
For the soldiers of misfortune
For The soldiers of distortion
Dig a grave

I'd like to wake up from this dream
Can't we learn from history
Why's it such a mystery
I'd like to wake up from this dream
In a world where they don't scream
In a world without misery

So pray
For the soldiers of misfortune
The soldiers of distortion
Hold a parade

I'd like to wake
In a dream
Where they don't scream
Without misery

So pray
For the soldiers of misfortune
For the soldiers of distortion
Dig a grave

So Pray
For the soldiers of misfortune
For the soldiers of distortion
Hold a parade

Does anyone else love forced and trite rhyming as much as I do?

Best Filter song = Where Do We Go From Here.

All other Filter songs, including that one actually, are very meh.

Well when i write lyrics they are free verse. Any opinions on free verse vs. rhyming lyrics? Sometime rhymed lyrics seems forced. like you said.

Yeah, shitty lyrics annoy me too. Great thread.

Lyrics in general annoy me. Just time in between solos. I don't think I'll ever like anyone for their lyrics. Blehhhh more musicians, less lyricists plz. (i know it's fewer, but the alliterative allure...)
