Twilight on Widows Live!
Chapter VI: Battle of the Bands IIDisclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or songs mentioned down here. I also don't own any of the artists, lead singers, or anyone else down there. If I did, I would be rich, and wouldn't waste my time writing these lame parodies.
It was 8:00, and everyone was getting ready to perform their songs for Battle of the Bands. There was Carlisle's band, Darkest Hours, and Jacob's band, The Big Bad Wolves. The tension in the school was high. Carlisle and Jacob were backstage giving their bands a pep-talk. 'Okay, guys', said Carlisle. 'I know you guys will do fine. Just try, I know you can do this.' Jacob's was *much* less peppier. 'Listen, you worthless mongrels! You are gonna go out there, and you are gonna win! If you don't, I swear, I will personally kick all of your rumps! Got it?!'
Up first to perform was Darkest Hours. Their setlist was:
Negative Creep – Nirvana
My Immortal – Evanescence
Now or Never – Three Days Grace
Whispers – Evanescence
Harvester of Sorrow – Metallica
Jasper stepped on stage first, followed by Emmet, Bella, Edward, and Rosalie. The whole band was in black clothes, fit for the heaviest heavy metal band of all time. Rosalie and Bella wore short, black dresses that came above the knee. They also had beautiful dark make-up. Emmet and Edward wore Metallica shirts and leather pants, while Jasper wore a Nirvana shirt with the Smiley Face logo on it and a pair of Levi's. Then they got their instruments ready and began to play.
'This is out of our reach
This is out of our reach
This is out of our reach
And it's gone.
This is getting to be
This is getting to be
This is getting to be
A drone
I'm a negative creep
I'm a negative creep
I'm a negative creep
And I'm stoned
I'm a negative creep
I'm a negative creep
I'm a negative creep
And whooooooooooooaaaaaaaaa!! Whoa!!
Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more (x4)'
After this song, the audience cheered their little heads off. This was the best performance they heard in a long time. They kept screaming for more, so they performed their next song.
'I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone.
These wounds don't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I wiped away all of your tears
When you screamed I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face; it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice; it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds don't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I wiped away all of your tears
When you screamed I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
I try to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I feel alone.
These wounds don't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I wiped away all of your tears
When you screamed I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me'
The audience went wild after this one. It was the most beautiful performance they ever heard. It was as good as Evanescence's version, but it wasn't the same. Time for the next song. 'This one will be good', thought Edward. He loved Three Days Grace.
'In this time are we lovingOr do we sit here wondering
Why this world isn't turning around?
It's now or never
We have no use for the truth
And now's the time for us to lose
Who we are and how we've tried
Taking every step in stride
It's now or never to decide.
In this time are we lovingOr do we sit here wondering
Why this world isn't turning around?
It's now or never
In this way are we learning
Or do we sit here yearning
For this world to start turning around?
It's now or never.
Where's the truth for us to use?
Because all we seem to do is lose
Who we are and how we've tried
Are we all the same inside?
It's now or never to decide
In this time are we lovingOr do we sit here wondering
Why this world isn't turning around?
It's now or never
In this way are we learning
Or do we sit here yearning
For this world to start turning around?
It's now or never.
In this time are we loving?
Wondering?
Isn't turning around
It's now or never!'
Adam Gontier, frontman of Three Days Grace, who was in the audience, gave Darkest Hours a standing ovation. They were just that good. Now was time for the next performance.
'Don't turn away (Don't give in to the pain)Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep, never die)
I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know
That there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be
Blinded by tears
I can stop the pain
If I will it all away
Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
She beckons me
Shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet my end'
The audience was shouting, screaming, yelling, clapping, everything. It was finally time for the last performance. Little did the audience know that the Cullen's booked James Hetfield to come and sing this with them in advance (Alice paid top dollar as soon as she seen the vision they were performing. Luckily, Hetfield agreed.) So Hetfield, frontman of Metallica, joined in with the Cullen's and began singing with Jasper.
'My life suffocates
Planting seeds of hate
I've loved, turned to hate
Trapped far beyond my fate
I give, you take
This life that I forsake
Been cheated of my youth
You turn this lie to truth
Anger, misery
You'll suffer unto me
Harvester of Sorrow
(Language of the mad)
Harvester of Sorrow
Pure black looking clear
My work is done soon here
Try getting back to me
Get back which used to be
Drink up
Shoot in
Let the beatings begin
Distributor of pain
Your loss becomes my gain
Anger, miser
You'll suffer unto me
Harvester of Sorrow
(Language of the mad)
Harvester of Sorrow
All have said their prayers
Invade their nightmares
To see into my eyes
You'll find where murder lies
Infanticide
Harvester of Sorrow
(Language of the mad)
Harvester of Sorrow
(Language of the mad)
Harvester of Sorrow (x6)'
That done it. The audience went crazy. They wanted more, but Darkest Hours couldn't play any more. They were incredibly tired. The Big Bad Wolves were up next, and they just wanted to get this over with.
A/N= Thanks for your reviews! I like those songs, I'll have to use some of them. Please review some more though, I'm having one more special band show up, and I need 5 more songs for them. (Hint: The leader's name begins with an 'M' and ends with 'ike Newton') They're performing after The Big Bad Wolves. I also need a good band name for them, too. I'm using Jacob's band next chapter, and Mike's the one after that. Just letting y'all know. Okay, that was all. Byez.
