Okay, here's the next song. I didn't get a new request, but this is from one someone made for the original story. I felt bad about not puting it in for him, so here it is now.
And to everyone else, don't forget about your own requests. I want to finish this story; I hate to leave things undone. Like I said, any Metallica or Sonic Underground song you want. And if you don't have a specific song request, just tell me what band you want to hear next and I'll try and surprise you.
Thanks and enjoy.
The bands wasted no time in getting into the next song.
All the houselights suddenly went out. As the people slowly quieted down, the sound of machine guns firing echoed through the stadium, followed by a few bomb blasts. A few people in the audience even ducked in there seats went it sounded like a helicopter was flying over head. The noise continued for a few moments, a few people thinking the show had come under attack!
But the show was fine. The sounds of war slowly faded away and was replaced by a steady guitar riff. The stage lights came back on to illuminate just the two bands. James stood playing the riff along with Sonic. The rest of the band members were quiet in their spots.
Lars soon joined in, giving off steady beats on the bass drum, keeping time on the high-hat symbol. Sonia slowly added her own background notes on her keyboard.
Lars picked up the beat, and It was Sonia, Sonic, and James playing the song. The other band members remained in their places and watched.
The crowd was practically quiet as the song continued, the guitar riffs slowly and steadily went into the song One.
I can't remember anything,
Can't tell if this is true or a dream.
Deep down inside I feel to scream,
This terrible silence stops me.
Now that the war is through with me,
I'm waking up; I cannot see
That there's not much left of me,
Nothing is real but pain now,
Every time the chorus was sang, the music elevated and became heavier.
Hold my breath as I wish for death,
Oh Please God wake me!
As the music quieted down again, Sonia joined James in singing, giving soft backing vocals.
Back in the womb it's much to real.
In pumps life that I must feel.
But can't look forward to reveal,
Look to the time when I live.
Fed through the tube that sticks in me,
Just like a wartime novelty.
Tied to machines that make me be,
Cut this life off from me.
The music picked up again, and stayed heavy.
Hold my breath as I wish for death,
Oh Please God wake me!
Tails and Jason kicked in on bass and the group played on, Sonic doing a slow solo as the crowd cheered.
Now the world is gone; I'm just one,
Oh God help me!
Hold my breath as I wish for death,
Oh Please God wake me…
The music picked up again, the guitars playing faster. Manic did a few light fills on the toms every so often, while Lars handled the beat.
Slowly, the sound of double bass could be heard as Lars started hitting it in short bursts. The guitars kept playing the same way though, but slowly Sonic, and then James began to match the drums. With Tails and Jason giving double bass on the guitar, the song sounded really heavy and intense.
As the next verse came up, everyone yelled the lead word with James, who sang in his toughest voice possible.
Darkness! Imprisoning me
All that I see,
Absolute horror.
I cannot live,
I cannot die,
Trapped in myself,
This body my only cell.
Landmine! Has taken my sight
Taken my speech,
Taken my hearing,
Taken my arms,
Taken my legs,
Taken my soul,
Let me live life in hell!
James, Sonic, Tails and Jason played a heavy and fast guitar riff as the crowd erupted with cheers. Soon Kirk came in with the wild solo, his hands flying over the guitar strings as Lars hit the snare drum in rapid bursts, like a machine gun going off.
They kept playing, Kirk's solo taking up the ending. Finally, all the instruments built up, and in one final burst from Lars' snare drum, the song came to an end.
The people cheered as an exhausted group took a short bow. Lars steeped out from behind his set holding a bottle of water, resting his hands. The people cheered loudly, and he acknowledged them with a wave. Sonic and the rest of his band looked around and smiled. They were all having a blast.
