Entry from Million Watts in Nur Ein XI.

Song must feature an obvious flaw. Flaw cannot be lyrical.

LyricsShow lyrics

(The drum glitches go up as you get to the chorus - flaw! Well, among other flaws!)

It's thundering outside
The rain will not end
The power's gone out
And I can't tell you when

There's nothing i can do
The room looks opaque
I'm just lying here
Trying to not be awake

When I can't see the end in sight
When the storm won't relent for nights
When there is no more left in me
You're my million watt backup battery

The flashlight is dead
And the candles are done
I tried to fight out
But the darkness has won

I need to escape
But I can't find my way
I'm wandering
Without the light of day

When I'm lost in a sea of shadows
When the rays can't break through my window
When I'm cut from my source of power
You're my million watt generator

Those glitches are cool. Too cool actually, they don't sound like flaws to me. I gave you 1 challenge bonus point for the weird noises during the solo (which was cool as well, and sounded more "flawed" than the drums to me). It's refreshing to hear you do something different - a bit different, at least, with the clean guitars during the verses. I hope you won't begrudge me for saying this reminded me of Black Parade era My Chemical Romance, save the vocals (I loved that album, but don't care for most of their other stuff).
