LAR Lyrics Competition! [cancelled]

[NiLah]

Due to circumstances beyond my control, this competition is being withdrawn.
The reason why will become apparent incredibly soon, and we hope that it more than makes up for the loss of this contest.

The aim is to personally complete the lyrics to "Blood & Earth" by the time the album is released. When you think you have got them finished, PM them to larcomp (account set up purely to receive your contributions).

I am handling the choice of winner which will be ENTIRELY based on accuracy compared to the lyrics I will have on the release date, and no sooner. The member who has most accurately transcribed the lyrics will be the winner, whether they are 100% right or not.

The rules:
- one entry per member, your first PM only will be counted so do not send it until you are sure
- you won't know when the competition closes until the release date is announced, so get to work
- you must not confer; there is only one prize you'd be disadvantaging yourself AND your friend
- you must not speculate the lyrics on this forum or elsewhere. Any posts from here in containing attempts on the lyrics to "Blood & Earth" will be deleted.
- you NEED to have an account at Heaven + Hell in order to enter, NO MATTER WHAT, the competition inbox will be found only on H+H forum

And lastly,
The prize!

You will get a copy of the album SIGNED by Steve himself as soon as it's humanly possible to get it to you! ;D

"Blood & Earth" can be found here: www.mediafire.com/?vkyyyeymjzu for download.
Or you can listen to it on youtube www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_hOo7ntIxA

(thanks geo for the upload!)

Oh Steve, you evil bastard! lol

This one is so difficult!! But I guess you knew that


xox KATE

[NiLah]

Ahh well I was the one who chose which song it would be.
I'm not mean enough to pin that on Steve... I guessed it was well-liked AND nearly impossible .. but I feel paid off by the fact that I am allowed that one evil thing, since I am running the competition and therefore cannot win >.<

we did such competitions before to promote foreign bands in China...now here comes my turn hahaha, that's pretty hard - - can we non-native speakers get a discount?

kidding XD

[NiLah]

I'd love to be really technical and say that's fair...unfortunately nobody can prove to me that they have not been speaking English from birth. How complicated.
Well spelling mistakes don't count anyway because they're irrelevant...it will be difficult to judge.

[zvezda]

Hahaha, now I regret the years I have spent listening to too-loud music, for it has rendered me quite deaf! Still, I will give it a go. What a good idea, and a nice gesture from Steve too xxx

[Is]

excellent idea - any idea of an album release date?

[NiLah]

^ Not yet, sorry...
That's why I suggest you all get cracking...you might be thinking it's half a year away or something, and it may not be that far off

Thought the same thing Oh well nothing to lose, though it's all gibberish to my young unexperienced ears *gets cracking*
By the way, should we send our address to the larcomp or will the winner be contacted to give the address later?

[NiLah]

The winner will be contacted.
And again, sorry about any problems for non-native speakers, but it would basically detract from the point of the competition and make it easier for anyone who didn't win to kick up a fuss about it "not being fair"...

Hehe, I thought that would happen - the lyrics on the download are much clearer!

[NiLah]

And you're so much further ahead than me! I only just found out about this in the last ten minutes... *tuts at self for being in holiday mode*
