Week 22 Challenges
Well, the SG-1 cap suggestions aren't in yet, but I think we'll blaze ahead. I'll post a notification once everything is up and functioning. Sorry for the inconvenience, folks.
Many thanks, as always, to the cap collections, teddibear, icywind, and beeej.
Welcome to Lyrical Week. All three challenges this week are lyrical in nature (I'm very good at stating the obvious, you notice? ;)). Just a reminder, folks, about sfi's policy on lyrical challenges: the lyrics can be used as either a) text in your icon or b) inspiration (I'm not too picky about how your icon is inspired by the lyrics, so you needn't explain).
Reminders:
* Please label your submissions clearly. It does not matter if you submit your icons in more than one post, but you must be sure to label correctly.
* You don't have to participate in all the challenges.
* If you have any problems with my Photobucket, please let me know.
* Delete away! I always set it so your replies aren't emailed to me, so feel free to delete your post/s if you make a coding mistake.
Throughout the week, I'll post reminders and be on hand to answer any of your questions. Let's get into the challenges! :)
SG-1 Challenge - All That Remains
The song we're using for this week's SG-1 challenge is "Now Comes The Night" by Rob Thomas. The lyrics are as follows:
Now Comes The Night - Rob Thomas
When the hour is upon us
And our beauty surely gone
No you will not be forgotten
And you will not be alone
No you will not be alone
And when the day has all but ended
And our echo starts to fade
No you will not be alone then
And you will not be afraid
No you will not be afraid
When the fog has finally lifted
From my cold and tired brow
No I will not leave you crying
No I will not let you down
No I will not let you down
I will not let you down
Now comes the night
Feel it fading away
And the soul underneath
Is it all that remains
So just slide over here
Leave your fear in the fray
Let us hold to each other
'Til the end of our days
Feel free to drop me a comment if you see an error in these lyrics.
You may use any caps from seasons 1-9 and non-spoilery/generic caps from season 10. There are no other restrictions. You may submit up to 3 icons.

SGA Challenge - Shake Up The System
The song we're using for this week's SGA challenge is "Die Another Day" by Madonna. The lyrics are as follows:
Die Another Day - Madonna
I'm gonna wake up, yes and no
I'm gonna kiss some part of
I'm gonna keep this secret
I'm gonna close my body now
I guess, die another day
I guess, die another day
I guess, die another day
I guess, die another day
I guess I'll die another day
(Another day)
I guess I'll die another day
(Another day)
I guess I'll die another day
(Another day)
I guess I'll die another day
Sigmund Freud
Analyze this
Analyze this
Analyze this
I'm gonna break the cycle
I'm gonna shake up the system
I'm gonna destroy my ego
I'm gonna close my body now
Uh, uh
I think I'll find another way
There's so much more to know
I guess I'll die another day
It's not my time to go
For every sin, I'll have to pay
I've come to work, I've come to play
I think I'll find another way
It's not my time to go
I'm gonna avoid the cliche
I'm gonna suspend my senses
I'm gonna delay my pleasure
I'm gonna close my body now
I guess, die another day
I guess I'll die another day
I guess, die another day
I guess I'll die another day
I think I'll find another way
There's so much more to know
I guess I'll die another day
It's not my time to go
Uh, uh
[Laugh]
I guess, die another day
I guess I'll die another day
I guess, die another day
I guess I'll die another day
Another day [x6]

BSG Challenge - Wage Your War
The song we're using for this week's BSG challenge is "Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking" by Snow Patrol. The lyrics are as follows:
Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking - Snow Patrol
I’ve got this feeling, there’s something that I missed
(I could do most anything to you)
Don’t you breathe, don’t you breathe
(I could do most anything to you)
Something happened that I never understood
(I could do most anything to you)
You can’t leave, you can’t leave
Every second dripping off my finger tips
(I could do most anything to you)
Wage your war, wage your war
(I could do most anything to you)
Another soldier says he’s not afraid to die
(I could do most anything to you)
I am scared, I’m so scared
In slow motion the blast is beautiful
(I could do most anything to you)
Doors slam shut, doors slam shut
(I could do most anything to you)
A clock is ticking but it’s hidden far away
(I could do most anything to you)
Safe and sound, safe and sound
(I could do most anything to you)
(I could do most anything to you)
(I could do most anything to you)
(I could do most anything to you)
(I could do most anything to you)
(I could do most anything to you)
