Just a Lyric writer
Hi I'm Noel and I write poetry, ballads, and lyrics. The songs here are collaborations I've taken part in. I mostly either only write the lyric or collaborate on the lyric but occasionally I will do a melody too. If you are interested in using any of the songs here, please feel free to contact me. I am also looking for songwriters who are interested in my kind of lyrics to collaborate with.

Story behind the song
I wanted to write something powerful and emotive
Lyrics
Why Lyric by Noel Downs Music John Wassens (Vocals and instruments John Wassens) See a worn torn country, Ravaged country side, Craters and bombed buildings, Attempted genocide, An Army rapes another town, Destroying lives culture and art, It's all done in the name of god, But my bible, never had that part, Why can't we live in peace? What makes us like we are ? What is ethnic cleansing? Why does it break my heart ? Payback and revenge, Machete mutilations, A legacy passed on, To another generation, See the silent children, Orphans of the war, A hate filled generation, Like the one before, Why can't we live in peace? What makes us like we are ? What is ethnic cleansing? Why does it break my heart ? What's happened to Christ's teachings? What's happened to peace and love? Do we need another saviour? A prophet from above, Bombing doesn't make it better, Nor does killing cleans the soul? Six thousand years of civilisation? There's nothing civilised in war. Why can't we live in peace? What makes us like we are ? What is ethnic cleansing? Why does it break my heart ?
