Theme 126 Winners: Double Lyrics {Community on Hiatus}

dark_angel869 — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 16:32:38 GMT

Happy to present to you the winners for the extended week's theme Double Lyrics. Banners are to be made by lawlcream unless I hear otherwise. Please comment if you'd like a banner, otherwise we'll assume you don't wish for one.

FIRST PLACE
sunfur [Naruto Uzumaki // Naruto]

SECOND PLACE
onegreyelephant [Sano // Rurouni Kenshin]

THIRD PLACE
rhye [Kohaku // Inuyasha]

R U N N E R - U P S
rashiea, kimupoyoisme, nebulasan
, ,

Regarding the next theme, as you can probably tell I've been terrible with keeping up with deadlines. I'm sure that is one of the contributions as to why we have low participation now-a-days. That is why I will not be placing up a new theme until I can find a way to manage my time for the community as well as my own life schedule.

The community therefore is on a HIATUS.

If anyone would like to discuss helping me out with the community though, you can always comment stating so here or e-mail me at animefreak869@yahoo.com to settle out some details. I'm sorry for doing this everyone, please forgive me?

Theme 126: Double Lyrics

dark_angel869 — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 01:24:49 GMT

Week one-hundred and twenty-sixth's theme will be a lyrics theme! However it will have a small twist. Instead of having the option of only one song, you get to pick from two. The songs to be used are Price To Play by Staind OR Aozora no Namida by Hitomi Takahashi. Remember that for your icon to qualify you need to use three consecutive words from the lyrics. Be creative. Remember that all comments to this post will be screened. Have fun!

[ Price To Play ]

Failed to see,
How destructive we can be.
Taking without giving back,
'Til the damage can be seen,
Can you see?
Can you see?

The more you take,
The more you blame,
But everything still feels the same.
The more you hurt,
The more you strain,
The price you pay to play the game,
Then all you see,
And all you gain,
And all you step on with no shame,
There are no rules,
No one to blame,
The price to pay to play the game.

Apathy, the chosen way to be,
Blindly look the other way,
While you waste away with me,
Can you see?
Can you see?

The more you take,
The more you blame,
But everything still feels the same.
The more you hurt,
The more you strain,
The price you pay to play the game,
Then all you see,
And all you gain,
And all you step on with no shame,
There are no rules,
No one to blame,
The price you pay to play the game.

What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game.

The more you take,
The more you blame,
But everything still feels the same.
The more you hurt,
The more you strain,
The price you pay to play the game,
Then all you see,
And all you gain,
And all you step on with no shame,
There are no rules,
No one to blame,
The price you pay to play the game.

What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game.

[Aozora no Namida ]

In the darkness of being alone
I knew the meaning of your tears.
I embarked to a place prey,
I don’t want to hurt anyone

The wind blowing over the ocean,
Not getting lost today and heading towards tomorrow,
But somehow my heart won’t budge

Regardless of the fate that awaits
I won’t to regret the things I live for
Because within sadness there is courage
I believe in taking a hold of that light

The pouring tears of the blue sky
Will someday become a smile

The wind following at a fast pace
Will slip through my fingers
The things I believe are still scary but,
But I’m not going to stop

The moon beats softly on my shoulders
And I will even forget getting lost
On the reflected moon road

Even if I wait for a tomrrow of nothing
A hand will give rise to something
And the chosen path will change
These strong feelings now, well up

The tears shed by the blue sky’s
Will surely clear up tomarrow

To where I look up,
That is where I am suppose to start.
I can go anywhere,
If I don’t give up on myself

Regardless of the fate that awaits
I won’t to regret the things I live for
Because within sadness there is courage
I believe in taking a hold of that light

The pouring tears of the blue sky
Will someday become a smile

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to my job situation, I will no longer be able to keep up with the deadlines this icontest is currently assigned with. I don't want the members to suffer because of my schedule, so it's either changing the days or closing down the community. The latter option is not desirable to me, this community still has some life left in it (I hope)!! From now, these are the new deadlines:

Submitting: Wed - Next Wed ; Voting: Wed - Friday ; Results: Friday
