response:
the innocent must suffer
taste blood to see the truth
the guilty must be punished
that's why i sing to you
the lords in black want power
power over you
with the witch in the web in her bower
they live and die anew
if i tell you every story
then perhaps this time you'll learn
but the lords in black must be buried
before they take the world
the lord in blue wants order
we all dance in perfect sync
he'll let you sit in the front row
but he won't let you think
give him a show-stopping number
you have to sing to survive
but the lord in blue will kill you
to bring him back to life
the lord in green wants worship
he wants to be adored
he'll tell you that you need him
to fill all of your voids
he says it's feast or famine
so take all that's in view
but the lord in green has nothing
that isn't already in you
the lord in purple wants stories
he doesn't sound bad, i know
he makes us hurt each other
we give him a good show
blink once if you want to end it
blink twice if you understand
that it's all smoke and mirrors
in the lord in purple's land
the lord in yellow wants torture
he keeps it in his box
the bastards are the stuffing
and eternal are the locks
be careful, when you're dreaming,
that you don't go too far
for the lord in yellow remembers
exactly who you are
the lord in pink wants passion
the sweetest and the best
he'll take you to his temple
that's if you pass his test
his kingdom's eat or be eaten
the starry children know
and the lord in pink will crown you
before your killing blow

that's why i sing to you
And I made a demo for this (just the first verse) with vocals from Eleanor Forte on SynthV, in case you want to imagine what it would be like as an actual song. I would very much like to collaborate with someone who has more experience making music than I do and turn this into a full song.
