I'm working on my entry song for Blizzard's Song Contest. I have cleared up my mind on the instrumental part enough to start working on it and I found out how to produce Protoss voices.

My only problem is with the lyrics. I was always terrible at this and the "best" text I ever wrote was for a Death Metal song. + Show Spoiler [don't hurt your soul] +
It was about murdering children.


Of course, I don't want anyone to write them for me. I just want to ask for some input on what you think makes the Protoss unique, so I can work these aspects into the lyrics.

To help you think, here are the things that first came to my mind:
honor, duty, advanced technology, khala
Input on that level would already be sufficient, I just want to create a convincing text.

Man Toss already has his honorable mention secured.

What I think of when I think protoss: psi blades, warping/teleporting, 4 legged walkers, carrier fleets, DTs

I'm sorry, but different playstyles will have no real part in the song. It's supposed to be in the perspective of a "real" Protoss.

How will you write an instrumental song about Starcraft?

You can get a SM57 for fifty dollars, Hwang.

Only thing that is blue are the crystals and Dark Templar technology. Yellow/gold is the main colour for protoss.

Question: Are we allowed to share our music before we submit? I can't find any mention of this any where on the rules sheet.

commanding protoss makes me feel like a god damn general. theyre the side of honor and fierceness in us. the heroic self-journey amidst everything else
