Same. I wrote Ceremonials in like a half an hour and it got my highest score and the other two got mixed scored and took me like 3 days to write. Let me wait til the last minute again
It's not hard to write lyrics without a melody. Just imagine a rhythm or write what comes to mind. It tends to express itself as a song when you write it and then you can develop a melody from it. That's how I did "Masquerade" .
