Marilyn Manson - Target Audience

Am I sorry your sky went black,
Put your knives in babies backs?
Am I sorry you killed the kennedy?s and huxley too?


But I?m sorry shakespeare
Was your scapegoat
And your apples sticking into my throat
Sorry your sunday smiles are rusty nails
And your crucifixion commercials failed
But I?m just a pitiful anonymous


And I see all the young believers
Your target audience
I see all the old deceivers
We all just sing their song


Am I sorry to be alive
Putting my face in the beehive?
Am I sorry for booth and oswald, pinks and cocaine too?


I?m sorry you never check
The bag in my head for a bomb
And my halo was a needle hole
I?m sorry I saw a priest being beaten
And I made a wish
But I?m just a pitiful anonymous


And I see all the young believers
Your target audience
I see all the old deceivers
We all just sing their song
We all just sing their song


"the valley of death we are free
Your father?s your prison you see"


And I see all the young believers
Your target audience
I see all the old deceivers
We all just sing their song


You?re just a copy of an imitation

my favorite song of the moment is My Son My Executioner - In Between Heaven And Hell

Putrid incense of decaying bodies
Attack the armies of the deceased
They mark their graves for their hearts
Scars bleeding truth from my heart to the fatigued souls
Caught in caulicle torment
Punished for their lies
My heart is filled with emotions
They bring me to this where they tell the story of how they came to wait
They bring my diseased spirit to its knees
I see the light through the their eyes
Its blinding me, and I wait to scream
Scars bleeding truth from my heart to the fatigued souls
Caught in caulicle torment
Punished for their lies
They wait in the darkness
Putrid incense of decaying bodies flows out into the night
My heart is filled with emotions
They bring me to this where they tell the story of how they came to wait
They bring my diseased spirit to its knees

ooo thats a hard one but Chimaira-dead inside is good

I felt so alone
You left feeling so empty and needing
Can't see the glitter in you
You called me all the time
Hiding behind your lies materialistic
Go away
You don't know what it's like to be dead inside
You called him a friend to help you get through it
I see your true face now
Well my tears are gone, I am happy now
Thanks for making it clear
Go away
You don't know what it's like to be dead inside
I am dead to you
You take my heart and used it as a tool
I wish that this would just go away
You can't find love you can't cry tears
And you won't be crying alone
Who are you today...another face erased

KingJen 04-03-2005 08:47 AM

Um... my favourite song lyrics are to a song called Angelica by Anathema... dunno whether you've heard of them...:

Where are you tonight?
Wild flower in starlit heaven
Still, Enchanted by flight
Obsession laments to freedom

A timeless word the meanings changed
But I'm still burning in your flames
Incessant, lustral masquerade,
Unengaged dimlit love
Didn't taste the same

And I wonder if you ever wondered the same
And I still wonder...

tis a pretty song. I think. I lost the CD with it on so I'm a bit gutted. I could always dowload it but that requires effort... :D

One of my favorite songs is Departure by Trivium

This weight is so unbearable caving my lungs
All my life seems to be flashing in front of my eyes
Run away from all the pain of life
Ways of devotion turn to obsession open your eyes
I want you to see what you've done to me crying out those eyes
Bring my end to an end
Distance yourself from the pain that covers me
I reach out for your hand to find there's nothing left for me
Razors kiss the vein overdose for pain
A 12 gauge cross kisses the forehead a savior in a shell
Sever me from the fall
**** the people, **** the world, **** it all
Open my arms
Bleed out the flood
In crimson I begin to drown

Is this love
(Whitesnake)

I should have known better
Than to let you go alone
It's times like these
I can't make it on my own
Wasted days, and sleepless nights
An' I can't wait to see you again
I find I spend my time
Waiting on your call
How can I tell you, babe
My back's against the wall
I need you by my side
To tell me it's alright
Cos I don't think I can take anymore
Is this love
that I'm feeling
Is this the love that
I've been searching for
Is this love
or am I dreaming
This must be love
Cos it's really go a hold on me
A hold on me
I can't stop the feeling
I've been this way before
But, with you I've found the key
To open any door
I can feel my love for you
Growing stronger day by day
An' I can't wait too see you again
So I can hold you in my arms
Is this love
that I'm feeling
Is this the love
That I've been searching for
Is this love
Or am I dreaming
This must be love
Cos it's really got a hold on me
A hold on me
Is this love
that I'm feeling
Is this the love
That I've been searching for
Is this love
Or am I dreaming
Is this the love
That I've been searching for
Is this love
that I'm feeling
Is this the love
That I've been searching for
Is this love
Or am I dreaming
Is this the love
That I've been searching for
Is this love
that I'm feeling
Is this the love
That I've been searching for
Is this love
Or am I dreaming
Is this the love
That I've been searching for
Is this love

Marc Cohn- The things we've handed down.

Dont know much about you
Dont know who you are
We've been doing fine without you
But we can only go so far
Don't know why you chose us
Were you watching from above
Is their someone their that knows us
Said we'd give you all our love
Will you laugh just like your mother?
Will your sigh like your old man?
Willl somethings skip a generation
Like ive hear they often can
Are you a poet or a dancer?
A devil or a clown?
Or a strange new combination of the things we've handed down?
I wonder who you'll look like will your hair fall down in curls?
Will you be a mumma's boy or daddies li'l girl?
Will you be a sad reminder of whats been lost allong the way?
Maybe you can help me find her in the things you do and say
And these thing we have given you are not so easily found
Ohhh but you can thank us later for the things we've handed down
You may not always be so grateful for the way that you were made
Maybe some features of your fathers that you'd gladly sell or trade
And one day you may look at us and say that you were cursed
Ohh but all the time that line has been extremely well rehearsed
By our fathers and their fathers in some old and distant town
The places no one remebers 'cause the things we've handed down

The song of my day is: "Lola" by The Kinks

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola [LP version: Coca-Cola]
See-oh-el-aye cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
El-oh-el-aye Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy won't you come home with me
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me

Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

Well I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man

Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

for no one- the beatles

Your day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all the words of kindness linger on
When she no longer needs you

She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

You want her, you need her
And yet you don't believe her when she said her love is dead
You think she needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

You stay home, she goes out
She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone
She doesn't need him

Your day breaks, your mind aches
There will be time when all the things she said will fil your
head
you won't forget her

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

"jealous guy"- john lennon

I was dreaming of the past.
And my heart was beating fast,
I began to lose control,
I began to lose control,

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that I make you cry,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy,

I was feeling insecure,
You night not love me any more,

I was shivering inside,
I was shivering inside,

I was trying to catch your eyes,
Thought that you were trying to hide,
I was swallowing my pain,
I was swallowing my pain.

dog 04-04-2005 07:57 AM

"god"- john lennon

God is a concept,
By which we can measure,
Our pain,
I'll say it again,
God is a concept,
By which we can measure,
Our pain,
I don't believe in magic,
I don't believe in I-ching,
I don't believe in bible,
I don't believe in tarot,
I don't believe in Hitler,
I don't believe in Jesus,
I don't believe in Kennedy,
I don't believe in Buddha,
I don't believe in mantra,
I don't believe in Gita,
I don't believe in yoga,
I don't believe in kings,
I don't believe in Elvis,
I don't believe in Zimmerman,
I don't believe in Beatles,
I just believe in me,
Yoko and me,
And that's reality.
The dream is over,
What can I say?
The dream is over,
Yesterday,
I was dreamweaver,
But now I'm reborn,
I was the walrus,
But now I'm John,
And so dear friends,
You just have to carry on,
The dream is over.

Before I'm Dead



Moon hangs around
a blade over my head
reminds me
what to do before im dead
night consumes light
and all i dread
reminds me what to do before im dead


sun reclines, heats my mind
reminds me what to leave behind
light eats night and all i never said
reminds me what to do before i'm

to see you
to touch you
to see you
to touch you


epochs fly, reminds me
what i hide, reminds me
the desert skies
cracks the spies
reminds me what i never tried
the ocean wide salted red
reminds me what to do before im dead


to see you
to touch you
to feel you
to tell you


the sun reclines.....remind me
the desert skies....remind me
the ocean wide salted red
reminds me

to see you
to touch you
to feel you
to tell you

I know this has nothing to do with Rock/Metal, but some of the best lyrics I've seen written comes from rappers, believe it or not. Try this one

**Nas "Ghetto Prisoners" **
As the night close down on the Earth like gray dark rings
Light of cities in the nights, destination for Kings
with big dreams, like Castro, overthrew Bautista
from Cuba, and pointed nukes toward the U.S.
About to shoot us for revolution; that's how you gotta move/ A lot of rules, some locked in solitude
Curse the day of they birth confused, who's to be praised?
The mighty dollar -- or almighty Allah?
I'm like the farmer, plantin words, people are seeds
My truth is the soil; help you grow like trees
May the children come in all colors, change like leaves
but hold before you, one of those, prophetic MC's
with blunted flows, seven hundred souls in me
Each channelin, from past to present times, heaven shines
light on those, innocent to how the world grows
Some men become murderers, and some girls become hoes
And you accounted for, everything that you heard
Do not speak to fools; they scorn the wisdom of your words
My heart is wise, bloodshot eyes, the saga never dies
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise

Yo we gotta be God's children, habitats in tall buildings
Rats crawl in filthy hallways, incinerators
Sinners who faithless, still there's hope, pray it's answered
Dreams turned real - what's a wicked nation?
One with blind men - not takin charge of the situation
Empty arguments and real conversations needed
The world'll need it, to hear it
Evil tries to weaken my spirit - it's chronic herb
This hurt come from the honest word
I now try hardest to serve my maker, what I learned
find it's way on the paper, so I could dictate it
Articulate it, luckily - I was put on one of the ships that made it through strong currents and winds that left the others stranded to sink in the Atlantic.
Satan jigs the planet, not to get too religious, but who decides when and if your life is finished? If Christ is in this, for the sake of your name, oh Lord may we break away from the chains abroad
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise

You wanna buy time? I'm the seller of minutes
I give you every second low-priced, if I so lies; the truth is
Time waits for none of you, in fact he can't wait for the date to snatch the ground right from under you
Small visions of better life if cheddar was right
lurk in the mind, of young ones ahead of they time
Trapped in the slums, beggin for nuttin but takin
Headed for nuttin but the state pen, where they cousins be
waitin/ Judges is not relatin to pleas, guns bustin where the kids play Richochet off lamp poles and leave damp holes in bystanders, get cancelled, D.O.A. Around the way where we from Hope the future reduce the rate of those buried young Life is every man's kingdom, a dyin man's past and a newborn's, first time to be here at last
And shouldn't have to grow up fast, and suffer our pain
Hustlin harder than the generations here before he came
Goin through the same bull**** as our fathers
Readin history, but who's the authors?
For some the game is easy, for most of us the game is much harder But never lose faith; through the years just get smarter
Ghetto prisoners.. ghetto prisoners..

Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise

I'm growing impatient, drawing the blood of the masochist, I wait for you, the sadist.
if it's possible, with a poison kiss...
Unable to see virtue in the meaning of my sorrow, in you the last mother,
I bury the memory so that you can not notice first mother.
even if the clock spins to the left, sins committed can't be changed,
in the beginning I imprint the final sympathizer.

look at the me being unwilling, fiercely and then gently, a forced decision
which I can't say I've made to you.

the sound of creaking leather hurts, the wounds go deep.
deeply jealous will you always be this cold blooded ?
even now I don't want to forget the abuse of my youth.
Why don't I have a mother ? Tell me.

Someday I'll notice the kindness in the "crib" that became my patron mother.

Before I couldn't see the reason for my bitterness, in my final mother
so that at least you don't notice first mother.
even if the clock spins to the left, sins committed can't be changed
in the beginning the last sympathizer was destroyed.
I wonder if you are too gentle to me ? relfecting a trauma from long ago
Am I who destroys to the last you a sadist ?

Laces Out Dan! 12-30-2005 12:06 AM

Some chunks of some of my favourites are...
On a cold and misty night,
a ring of torches light the hallowed ground
where his father's laid to rest

In the reflection of a sword
he sees his destiny and he swears up to the sky -
"You will not have died in vain"

On the field - with sword and shield
amidst the din of dying man's wails
War is waged - and the battle will rage
until only the righteous prevail

From the shadows comes a man,
returning to his land - Winds of change
taint the sweet smell of home

And all around him, he can see
the pain and misery
this tyrant's reign is through
"I will stand and fight... Will you?"

A heart of gold pumps within his metal skin
A noble line he carries on - Accolade II


To the one that I love, my journey has begun
When our eyes meet once more there will me peace
The taste of your lips the warmth of your touch
again, forever, two souls as one

Seems like forever that my eyes have been denied
Home - I'm dreaming of home
I've been twenty years away from all I ever knew
to return would make my dreams come true

Seasons of sorrow have stolen all my years
I miss the rolling hills of Ithaca
I've been through battles and cried a sea of tears
but the tide is changing, and with it all my fears

Seems like forever that my eyes have been denied
Home - I'm dreaming of home
I've been twenty years away from all I ever knew
to return would make my dreams come true - The Odyssey


Just one more night
One more score
Another question in my mind,
can't take no more

Kissing the tears form my face as
they fall
To the ground in silence
in twilight and faded time
Spirits cold, with no love
Bells ring a lonely chime
Candle fires
These lit dreams can't burn alone

Winds of change bring songs
upon my memory
An empty heart and soul
intoxicates me
This darkened page orchestrates
my final destiny
Not knowing what,
what tomorrow will bring

From within the mirrors eyes
I'm forced to run away and hide
I feel those mystic eyes subside
And leave my blind
Through passages in time
A prisoner locked beind the door
Lonely roses slowly wither and die

I can't escape this captive misery
Heart stone cold, under supremacy
Thrown into a raging sea of tyranny

Lifes vile walls have tangled me in threads
Eternally caught in my futures threads
Play the violent strings of my symphony - Candelight Fantasia

Chris Rea - "Stainsby Girls"

Some girls used to kiss and run
Never knew what they had done
Some girls always wasted time
Keep you hanging on the line
Some loved horses and always stayed at home
But the stainsby girls loved the rolling stones

Now some had games that you had to play
Making rules along the way
Strange attractions newly found
Pride and passion kicked around
Some girls stole your heart
Like most girls do
But a stainsby girl could break it in two

And i fell in love, i fell in love
I fell in love with a stainsby girl

Deepest water stainsby blue
Names and faces fade away
Memories here to stay

And i fell in love, i fell in love
I fell in love with a stainsby girl

Trivium-To Burn The Eye

A mind lost within its own self
Existing to feed its hunger
Your body hollowed empty shell
Awaiting feed of the ages

Darkness will cover the mind
Casting a shade on reasoning
Immolation of the human self
Conflagration of the ego

Burn in your own hell
Life grand holding cell

Two become as one
One become a slave

Burn the eye to blind
Keeping truth from mind
Breathe in the life
Breathe in the lie

No longer are you human
Just a leech of the addiction
Loathing 'till insanity
Mental deterioration

To destroy the faith
In humanity

Life shell - shocks your empty shell
Hatred for those privileged unlike you

You think you will win
But you can't face the
System of self destruction

Life skins mind bleeding dry
Hatred for the self and the life

Mr Sensitive 12-30-2005 03:16 PM

Radiohead - Like Spinning Plates

While you make pretty speeches,
I'm being cut to shreds.
You feed me to the lions,
a delicate balance

When this just feels like spinning plates.
I'm living in cloud cuckoo land.
And this just feels like spinning plates
Our bodies floating down the muddy river.

Ozzy - Alive

A child of a broken mind
The fear that I hide behind
I hate rejection
It's the worst
It gravely hurts me

Living inside my head
I feel like the living dead
I need your affection
It's the best
It greatly helps me

With my back against the wall
Trying so hard not to fall
I'm so tired of sleeping around
Hopeless, in despair
Don't know if I'm here or there
Feeling like I'm up and I'm down

But I'm still alive
I don't have any plans to go anywhere
You know I'm alive
I know I'm crazy but I still like it here
But I'm still alive
I don't have any plans to go anywhere
I don't want to die

A head full of tragic schemes
what keeps me alive is dreams
I dream that someday
I'll find the key that sets my mind free
You may think I've lost control
The man with the broken soul
I'm not here to try and make excuses
Just believe me

With my back against the wall
Trying so hard not to fall
I'm so tired of sleeping around
Hopeless, in despair
Don't know if I'm here or there
Feeling like I'm up and I'm down

But I'm still alive
I don't have any plans to go anywhere
You know I'm alive
I know I'm crazy but I still like it here
But I'm still alive
I don't have any plans to go anywhere
You know I'm alive
I know I'm crazy but I still like it here
But I'm still alive
I don't have any plans to go anywhere
You know I'm alive
I know I'm crazy but I still like it here
But I'm still alive
I don't have any plans to go anywhere
You know I'm alive
I know I'm crazy but I still like it here
I don't want to die
You know I'm alive
You know I'm alive

it is a awesome song... the lyrics amaze me everytime i listen to it.. one of my favorite ozzy songs by far! :yikes:

Gotta be the HIV song by ween

(listen to it for the lyrics)

or Hairless and fancy-free by the left rights

You and I should save our pubic hair
You and I should save our pubic hair
hairless and fancy free's the way to be so
Why should we leave it overgrown?

doo do doo......

You and I should shave our pubic hair
We sure could use the room in our underwear.
You could see more tree with less leaves so
Why must we leave it overgrown?

Sabgoat 01-01-2006 11:04 AM

steps and numbers - appleseed cast

Are you wishing on a star.
Did you know your dreams are sold.
To people who dream only of gold.
They'll find a way to pull stars down.
Stand there.
Dance with a memory.
The caption reads it's all over now.
Do you feel alone in the secret.
Are you standing there just weeping.
Do you feel the light is gone.
Is it hard to remain strong.
In the face of all you know.
In a world that's brought you low

The River- Bruce Springsteen
 
I come from down in the valley
where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
when she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green

We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride

Then I got Mary pregnant
and man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
and the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
No flowers no wedding dress

That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we did ride

I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care

But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
they haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
that sends me down to the river
though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Down to the river
my baby and I
Oh down to the river we ride

Bob Dylan is not my favorite artist, and this is not my favorite song by him, but this might might be the most poetic song ever written, especially if you understand Dylan's transition from folk to folk/rock and acoustic to electric during this period...


It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)"

Darkness at the break of noon
Shadows even the silver spoon
The handmade blade, the child's balloon
Eclipses both the sun and moon
To understand you know too soon
There is no sense in trying.

Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
Suicide remarks are torn
From the fools gold mouthpiece
The hollow horn plays wasted words
Proved to warn
That he not busy being born
Is busy dying.

Temptation's page flies out the door
You follow, find yourself at war
Watch waterfalls of pity roar
You feel to moan but unlike before
You discover
That you'd just be
One more person crying.

So don't fear if you hear
A foreign sound to you ear
It's alright, Ma, I'm only sighing.

As some warn victory, some downfall
Private reasons great or small
Can be seen in the eyes of those that call
To make all that should be killed to crawl
While others say don't hate nothing at all
Except hatred.

Disillusioned words like bullets bark
As human gods aim for their marks
Made everything from toy guns that sparks
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
It's easy to see without looking too far
That not much
Is really sacred.

While preachers preach of evil fates
Teachers teach that knowledge waits
Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
Goodness hides behind its gates
But even the President of the United States
Sometimes must have
To stand naked.

An' though the rules of the road have been lodged
It's only people's games that you got to dodge
And it's alright, Ma, I can make it.

Advertising signs that con you
Into thinking you're the one
That can do what's never been done
That can win what's never been won
Meantime life outside goes on
All around you.

You loose yourself, you reappear
You suddenly find you got nothing to fear
Alone you stand without nobody near
When a trembling distant voice, unclear
Startles your sleeping ears to hear
That somebody thinks
They really found you.

A question in your nerves is lit
Yet you know there is no answer fit to satisfy
Insure you not to quit
To keep it in your mind and not forget
That it is not he or she or them or it
That you belong to.

Although the masters make the rules
For the wise men and the fools
I got nothing, Ma, to live up to.

For them that must obey authority
That they do not respect in any degree
Who despite their jobs, their destinies
Speak jealously of them that are free
Cultivate their flowers to be
Nothing more than something
They invest in.

While some on principles baptized
To strict party platforms ties
Social clubs in drag disguise
Outsiders they can freely criticize
Tell nothing except who to idolize
And then say God Bless him.

While one who sings with his tongue on fire
Gargles in the rat race choir
Bent out of shape from society's pliers
Cares not to come up any higher
But rather get you down in the hole
That he's in.

But I mean no harm nor put fault
On anyone that lives in a vault
But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him.

Old lady judges, watch people in pairs
Limited in sex, they dare
To push fake morals, insult and stare
While money doesn't talk, it swears
Obscenity, who really cares
Propaganda, all is phony.

While them that defend what they cannot see
With a killer's pride, security
It blows the minds most bitterly
For them that think death's honesty
Won't fall upon them naturally
Life sometimes
Must get lonely.

My eyes collide head-on with stuffed graveyards
False gods, I scuff
At pettiness which plays so rough
Walk upside-down inside handcuffs
Kick my legs to crash it off
Say okay, I have had enough
What else can you show me ?

And if my thought-dreams could been seen
They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
But it's alright, Ma, it's life, and life only.

Scar Symmetry - Hybrid cult

The first couple lines are SICK, and they way he screams them is just amazing

Follow the bloodline throughout the past
Seek and you will find a hidden ancestry
At night the circle gathers
When the world is shedding skin
The earth now stands to shatter
The ritual begins
let the ritual begin

A maelstrom of energy
Turns the air electric
Starting a synergy
The patterns all symmetric
Masks are covering their faces
Hiding the alteration
Shapeshifting in phases
Behold illumination

The silence screaming as light turns dark
Altering what's real
Awake they're dreaming
The lucid nightmares opening the gates
A light is gleaming, the blackened rain
Summoned forth this night
By the hybrid cult

Follow the bloodline throughout the past
Seek and you will find a hidden ancestry
At night the circle gathers
When the world is shedding skin
The earth now stands to shatter
Erupting from within

The silence screaming as light turns dark
Altering what's real
Awake they're dreaming
The lucid nightmares opening the gates
A light is gleaming, the blackened rain
Summoned forth this night
By the hybrid cult

Not entirely human
DNA strings anomalous
Blood of god and man
in synergy blasphemous

[Solo]

The silence screaming as light turns dark
Altering what's real
Awake they're dreaming
The lucid nightmares opening the gates
A light is gleaming, the blackened rain
Summoned forth this night
By the hybrid cult

Middle 3 verses from "Rex's Blues" by Townes van Zandt.

Legs to walk and thoughts to fly
Eyes to laugh and lips to cry
A restless tongue to classify
All born to grow and grown to die

So tell me baby I said so long
Tell my mother I did no wrong
Tell my brother to watch his own
And tell my friends to mourn me none

I'm chained upon the face of time
feelin' full of foolish rhyme
There ain't no dark till something shines
I'm bound to leave this dark behind

Ive Seen All Good People - YES
 
I've Seen All Good People.
Artist: Yes

I've seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied I'm on my way
I've seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied I'm on my way

Take a straight and stronger course to the corner of your life
Make the white queen run so fast she hasn't got time to make you a wife

'Cause it's time is time in time with your time and
its news is captured...for the queen to use!
Move me on to any black square
Use me anytime you want
Just remember that the goal
Is for us all to capture all we want
(Move me on to any black square)

Don't surround yourself with yourself
Move on back two squares
Send an instant karma to me
Initial it with loving care
(Don't surround yourself)

'Cause it's time is time in time with your time and
its news is captured...for the queen to use!

Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda
(Don't surround yourself with yourself)

Don't surround yourself with yourself
(Don't surround yourself)
Move on back two squares
Send an instant karma to me
(Send an instant karma to me)
Initial it with loving care
(Don't surround yourself)

'Cause it's time is time in time with your time and
its news is captured...for the queen to use!

Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda (All we are saying)
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda (Is give peace a chance)
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda (All we are saying)
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda (Is give peace a chance

'Cause it's time is time in time with your time and

I've seen all good people turn their heads each day
So satisfied I'm on my way

So satisfied I'm on my way...

I've seen this text in online lyrics sites as well, but in my version of the song (which is the original album version to the best of my knowledge), he sings "do what they do just to be" instead of "cultivate their flowers to be". Anyone can clear that up?

So many...
 
Lyrics that immediately came to mind was from the song 'Inside The Particle Storm' - Dark Tranquility

Inside the particle storm
Where clouds of napalm shimmer
With the promise of one final dawn

Inside the particle bliss
Where ages collide into nothingness
Obliteration's one final kiss

A claw in the garden of eden
Clogging the bloodstream of birth
Tearing a hole in the fabric of life
The horizon enriched with scars

Inside the particle blaze
A chamber of dissolution
Proclaiming the end of days

We leave now
Nothing will follow, nothing at all
The cleansing flames of entropy
To devour us all

Our lungs are filled with sarin
Our children drowning like dogs
Handcuffed to the weight of cold dark matter
Without purpose, meaning, or name

Inside the particle storm
The poison gene of humanity
Nullified

This is the moment
When black ships anchor to the sky
The heavy hands of chaos
Descend in merciless demise

Howard the Duck 09-29-2011 09:47 AM

this one practically sums up my entire adolescent romantic desires:-

Jesus and Mary Chain - Taste of Cindy

Crack of dawn
Cindy's movin' on
Talking Cindy to everyone
Until she's had her fun

Betwixt the sun and sea
Still she's talking to everyone
Cindy's had her fun

Though I've heard it before
Still I need you more and more
But I just can't get away
Cindy kills me every day

And I tried and I tried
But you looked right through me
Knife to my head when she talks so sweetly
Knife in my head when I think of Cindy
Knife in my head is the taste of Cindy

Avenged Sevenfold - Afterlife:

Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen
so unsure but it seems, ’cause we’ve been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway

I see a distant light, but girl this can't be right
Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be
Arrived too early

And when I think of all the places I just don't belong
I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far

I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
’Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here

A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain, ’cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway

This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time (I’m much too young to fall)
So out of place don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign
I've made up my mind

Gave me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life

I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
’Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might
take me back inside when the time is right

Loved ones back home all crying ’cause they're already missing me
I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(I am unbroken; I’m choking on this ecstasy)
Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)

(Guitar Solo)
(Screaming)
(Laughing)

I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
’Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might
take me back inside when the time is right

Crap its a rammstein song zestrofen its song the meaning behind is the singer is pretty much explaining the thirst of man to destroy what isn't there's... ill just put the english lyrics since German would be pointless...

Love, my beloved, don't you cry, god

Yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes

I want to tend to my things
and reduce the rest to rubble

Ripping, Bashing
Crushing, Picking

I go along the garden fence
and feel the urge again

I must destroy Yes, yes, yes (but only if it does not belong to me)
I must destroy Yes, yes, yes (but only if it does not belong to me)
NO!

I'll take your belongings
I'll annihilate them

Sawing, Stripping
Not asking, Smashing

And now the supreme discipline
pulling the head off the doll

Hurting, tearing
corroding,

destroying Yes, yes, yes (but only if it does not belong to me)
I must destroy Yes, yes, yes (but only if it does not belong to me)
NO!

I would like to destroy something
But only if it does not belong to me
I want to be a good boy
but the desire over takes me

I must destroy Yes, yes, yes (But only if it does not belong to me)
I must destroy Yes, yes, yes (But only if it does not belong to me)
NO!

Ripping, bashing
crushing, picking
Copping and stealing
not asking, smashing
Tearing, hurting
Burning then running
Sawing, stripping
Breaking, avenging

DESTOYING! Yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes

YES!


He met a girl who was blind
Shared her pain and like minded
saw a star go from the sky
and wished that she could see
she opened her eyes
and left him in the same night
