Right, these were for this diary of a fictional record label company based on a game called Chart Wars 3 to add a little more depth to it.

Inspired by my girlfriend, I have written so far 10 tracks.

And now, I'd like some feedback. But first, I should lay down some backstory to help you understand the songs better...

The songs are for albums made by the fictional rock band Satan's Night Out. They are big fans of King Diamond. Now, then, they released two concept albums: "Deathwood" and "Dark Sanitarium".

Deathwood's based a bit on the Chzo Mythos, meaning that the Mind and Soul of a God of Pain Sickness is accidentally stored into a tree, which undergoes a lot of changes over the years, but remains just as evil, bringing death to all around it.

I think my songs for that album are too experimental to show, but if people are curious, I'll show those as well.

Meanwhile, I'll now give out the first two tracks of "Dark Sanitarium" which I just wrote.

Bear in mind, please, the credits:
(I've kept the "real composers' names" just for the hell of it...)
* Vocals, Song Writing - Katie Gray
* Backing Vocals, Additional Song Writing - King Diamond
* Lead Guitar, Song Writing - Steve Harris
* Bass Guitar - Adam Shaw
* Producer - Dan Neshor (that's actually me, and I'm also the CEO of the label, but that's another story)

And now, the songs...

1. WELCOME HOME
Written by Katie Gray and King Diamond

[Bass-only]

KATIE:
[spoken, high-pitch voice]
Welcome, Mr. Diamond, to the Oak Sanitarium.

KING:
I'm not crazy! Get me out of here, now!

KATIE:
[spoken, high-pitch voice]
Gag him.

Ahh, that's better.

Now, King- May I call you King?
This is Oak Sanitarium. The Electroshock Therapy room is below, in the basement. Your room is upstairs, and we've even got a graveyard! In case, God forbid, any of your friends here die, they'll be buried there, and you can visit them.

[Bass solo]

[Sound of door being closed and locked]

KATIE:
Good night, King!

KING:
NO!
GET ME OUT OF HERE!

[Bass fade out]

2. VOICES I HEAR IN THE DARK
Written by Steve Harris and Katie Gray

[Enter hard instrumentals]

KING:
[low, almost growl]
I'm not crazy,
I'm not crazy,

But I think I'm going crazy...

[from low to high]
Crazy...
Crazy...
CRAZY!!!

[Short and Fast Solo (30 sec.): Steve]

KING:
[low]
I hear voices,
[whisper]Voices in the night
I hear voices,
Voices in the [high, long]NIGHT!

[low]
Leave me alone,
[whisper]Voices in the night,
Leave me alone,
Voices in the [high, long]NIGHT!

KATIE:
[operatic, high]
King, listen to my voice,

KING:
[high]
No, I'm not crazy!

KATIE:
[operatic, high]
King, you have no choice,

KING:
[high]
No, my vision's getting hazy...

[very high]
BUT NO!
WAIT!

[low]
I'm putting my ear to the door,
I hear from outside screams of horror,
Outside I imagine blood, gore,
[high]
I can't move!

[low]
What's going on outside?
What is this place?
My tongue is tied.
I can't move my face.
[high]
I can't move!

KATIE:
[operatic, high]
King, this place is not for you,

KING:
[high]
No, I'm not crazy!

KATIE:
[operatic, high]
King, if only you knew...

[4-Minute Solo: Steve, during which King screams for freedom]

[King goes insane]

KING (As the Doctor):
[spoken]
... Well, Martha, what about the new arrivals? I need some fresh meat...

Comment, please, while I write more...

[David-kyo]

Upload the songs instead of this stuff, dammit.

[Dan_N_GameZ]

Well, I only wrote the lyrics...

I plan to jam soon and try and add some melody, after which I'll probably try to actually make some songs out of them...

[Dan_N_GameZ]

These lyrics are meant more as a writing exercise...

3. ELECTROSHOCK!
Written by Steve Harris

[No instruments]

KING (as the Doctor):
Hello, Mr. Diamond, please lay down on this table...

KING:
[high]
NO!
NO!
LET ME GO!

KING (as the Doctor):
Tie him down, Martha, there's a dear.

KING:
[high]
NOOOOOOO!

KING (as the Doctor):
Now, now, Mr. Diamond, you're sick, allow me to heal you.

[Instruments enter]

[Instrumental-only, sounds of electric shocks are heard, accompanied by King's screams of pain (2:30 minutes)]

[Solo: Steve (1:30 minutes)]

[Solo: Adam (45 seconds)]

[Instrumental cut-out]

KING (as the Doctor):
And are we feeling better, Mr. Diamond?

KING:
Ungh... I... hate... you...

KING (as the Doctor):
That's enough for today, Martha, take him back to his room.

4. EXPERIMENTS IN THE NIGHT
Written by Katie Gray, King Diamond, and Dan Neshor

KATIE:
[operatic, normal]
The therapy session has been completed,
Many by death have been greeted,
The Doctor says they have been treated,
His meat stocks are no longer depleted.

[operatic, high]
He takes the corpses!
And he gets to work!

KING:
[high]
I can hear him!
He's downstairs!
But I can hear him!

KATIE:
[operatic, normal]
He takes one corpse, he puts it on a table,
He cuts it up, it's clear he's able,
But he's mad, he's beyond unstable,
The gloom is dark, even sable...

[operatic, high]
He takes the corpses!
And he gets to work!

KING:
[high]
A leg he just cut off the dead!
All I see is RED!
I'm full of dread...
What if I'm NExT?!

[Solo: Steve, during which King says "No!" five times (50 seconds)]

KATIE:
[operatic, normal]
He throws out brains, there is no need,
For all to know, all to take heed,
Oak Sanitarium is a place of death,
A place of Blood, Madness, and even...

[operatic, very high]
MAGIC!

KING:
[high]
Magic! I hear magic!
A word, a word in the night!
This is tragic!
I must fight!
I hear black magic!
Where is the light?

[spoken, low, sad]
Wh- where...
is...

[very high]
THE LIGHT?!

[Fast Solo: Steve (30 seconds)]

[growl]
He killed...
He butchered...
Brains...
Eyes...
Limbs...
All switched...
Or thrown away...

[very high]
HE'S A MONSTER!

[spoken, low, sad]
I need to escape... I've gone insane... I can't stay here...

Impressive. Most impressive.

[Dan_N_GameZ]

Yeah, well, unfortunately, since my girlfriend will be gone for a week, that means no muse, hence no inspiration, ergo, lack of songwriting...

[David-kyo]

Sort of reminds me of the fictive show Address Unknown in Max Payne 2.
