Metal Lyrics Library (v0.3.0)

Last updated: July 27th 2021

Words and stuff to:

• Spark ideas.
• Get you out of "writer's block" (Whatever that is. I hear it's a thing for some).
• Find some rhymes, metaphors, analogies, etc. (if lucky).

What to use this for #

For when the picture is clear, but the exact words, phrasing, etc. evade you.

Apes together strong.

Sources #

Books. Exclusively.

I strictly avoid other metal bands' lyrics, to avoid being too derivative.

(We all rip off Tolkien, Lovecraft, the Bible, etc. anyway.)
