[gothicusmaximus]

Just before our love got lost you said,
"I am as constant as a northern star,"
and I said, "Constantly in the darkness?
Where's that at? If you want me, I'll be in the bar."

On the back of a cartoon coaster,
in the blue TV screen light,
I drew a map of Canada-
O, Canada!-
With your face sketched on it twice

You are in my blood like holy wine.
You taste so bitter, bitter and sweet,
I could drink a case of you
and I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet.

Oh, I am a lonely painter.
I live in a box of paints.
I'm frightened by the devil
and I'm drawn to those ones who aint afraid.

I remember that time you told me,
You said, "Love is touching souls."
Well, surely you touched mine,
Cause part of you pours out of me
in these lines from time to time.

You are in my blood like holy wine.
You taste so bitter, bitter and sweet,
I could drink a case of you
and I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet.


I met a woman, she had a mouth like yours
She knew your life, she knew your devils and your deeds
And she said, "Go to her, be with her if you can
but be prepared to bleed."

Oh, but you are in my blood,
You're my holy wine.
You taste so bitter, so bitter and so sweet,
and I could drink a case of you, darling,
And I would still be on my feet.
I would still be on my feet.

Crystal Clear Waters - Elane

She woke up my dear
Her dreams were too thin
To keep her within
A realm beyond her fears
Let's stay here for more
There is no eternal spring
To walk along and sing
Are we lost like before?

She never felt related
To tenderness before
Until he gave these feelings
That cut down to the core
She never felt related
To heaven once before
Her feet were in the water
as she was sitting by the shore

Crystal clear water
On pale and velvet skin
Laid down in morning colours
No breeze of any sin
Dancing water lillies
Upon the silent lake
Hidden in the woods
and veiled by mighty shades

[Kanedawg]

At Dawn They Sleep

[Lyrics Araya/Hanneman/King; Music Hanneman]

Awakened I have become
Light now slips away
Manipulate your mind
Darkness is my slave

Taste the sins of Hell
The blood that I so crave
The last thing that you see
Is the hunger in my eyes

[Chorus]
Blood sucking creatures of the night
Nocturnal spectre hiding from the light
Cries screaming out every fright
Eagerly awaiting plight
Apparitions from the pits of Hell
Death plagues the streets in which they dwell
Demented lust, the secrets they must keep
Addicted to your blood
At dawn they sleep

Unveil the hidden coffin
Lift the lid of terror
Feel the deadly cold
Freeze you from inside

Perceiving your intentions
To slay the phantom form
Raise the stake in malice
You cannot plunge it down

[Chorus]

[Lead - King, Hanneman]

Beware the image unseen
Stalks your soul
Your corpse's redeem

Eternal damnation you just reward
A servant of our Lord
By your accord

Admonish of the cruciform
Impalement
Immortality's scorned

Rise hold fast your faith
To lie dormant
Is certain Death

(Driven by the instinct of centuries of horror
Implanted along the brain of the sickening parasite
Linked together by one trait
The Hell-filled need to kill... kill... kill... kill... KILL)

Emerging from their Hellish tomb
Taking flight amidst the night
The evening skies are raining Death

Swooping down from shadowed skies
Taking simple human form
Shed their wings to stalk the mortal man

Lock their jaws into your veins
Satanic soldiers strike their prey
Leaving corpses waiting for the change

Blood dripping from the jaws of Death
Not enough to satisfy
They must drain your soul of life

Gothicus Maximus is a cool screen name! :^) Interesting lyrics too. "Lost in a box of paint." And "Attracted to those who aint." Can relate. Strength and honor, Maximus.

Don't Fear The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult


All our times have come
Here but now they’re gone
Seasons don’t fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain..we can be like they are
Come on baby...don’t fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don’t fear the reaper
We’ll be able to fly...don’t fear the reaper
Baby I’m your man...

Valentine is done
Here but now they’re gone
Romeo and juliet
Are together in eternity...romeo and juliet
40,000 men and women everyday...like romeo and juliet
40,000 men and women everyday...redefine happiness
Another 40,000 coming everyday...we can be like they are
Come on baby...don’t fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don’t fear the reaper
We’ll be able to fly...don’t fear the reaper
Baby I’m your man...

Love of two is one
Here but now they’re gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn’t go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared...saying don’t be afraid
Come on baby...and she had no fear
And she ran to him...then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodby...she had become like they are
She had taken his hand...she had become like they are
Come on baby...don’t fear the reaper

SWAY by The Rolling Stones
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

Did you ever wake up to find
A day that broke up your mind
Destroyed your notion of circular time

It's just that demon life has got you in its sway
It's just that demon life has got you in its sway

Ain't flinging tears out on the dusty ground
For all my friends out on the burial ground
Can't stand the feeling getting so brought down

It's just that demon life has got me in its sway
It's just that demon life has got me in its sway

There must be ways to find out
Love is the way they say is really strutting out

Hey, hey, hey now
One day I woke up to find
Right in the bed next to mine
Someone that broke me up with a corner of her smile, yeah

It's just that demon life has got me in its sway
It's just that demon life has got me in its sway

It's just that demon life has got me in its sway
It's just that demon life has got me...

It's just that demon life has got me...

(this song will pull you into another dimension if you let it...

[(heartofflames)]

for some odd reason: Prayer- Celine Dion

Can we touch the soul of heaven
Can we unite a sacred lesson
Every child creates a skylight of beauty
Can you hear cathedrals falling
All the universe is calling
Cry a single cello from your heart
Since the world has lost her way
Loneliness journey endlessly
Yet the promised chance remains
Gifts of what could be
So let the children remember the sun
Let them dance let them soar
For their lives have begun
Let the children engender the rain
As the river runs through fields
Forever subsiding their pain
Prayer
Every voice along the shoreline
Standing still within time
Spinning unresolved the walking
As each season passes
Through wonderland and looking glasses
The secret garden shires beckon's you
Gentle flower, don't fade away
Sweet innocent still harbors thee
In faith of garden dreams
Where one love lives eternally
Let the children remember the sun
Let them dance let them soar
For their lives have begun
Let the children engender the rain
As the river runs through fields
Forever subsiding their pain
Prayer
Prayer
Prayer
Bless the children for they are the light
They are the truth of spirit in flight
Yes the children engender the rain
As the river runs through life
Healing their pain
If you could trust with your heart but for time
Sweet angels, conceive you have
Forever and always believed Prayer
Prayer
Prayer
Prayer

Love Interest by Self

Systematically, I'm in over my head
Situation I find embarassing
Heeding every warning with the battery's dead
Oh No

Systematically, I'm in over my head
The consequences I find disturbing
Fearing every corner where my tired maps lead
Oh No

Imagine a World where every Love Interest failed
put out or get out, put out or get out
Imagine a World where every Love Interest failed
put out or get out, put out or get of here

Systematically, I'm in over my head
Every singe instance unnerving
Braving territory where most others fear to listen
Oh No

Unfortunately, I'm overloaded in the brain
Worthy conversation now boring
Tried and trued experiments with nothing new to gain
Oh No

Imagine a World where every Love Interest failed
put out or get out, put out or get out
Imagine a World where every Love Interest failed
put out or get out, put out or get of here

Charismatticaly, guess I'm weighing in shot
My heady poetry repulsing
Intersellar contact with an obvious denial
Oh No

Gotta get out of here

Mirror People Love and Rockets

I'm so happy with my feet on the ground
So happy, my head spins around
Quite content to sit on this fence
Quite content now a little bit older
The mirror people one day shall be free
The mirror people laugh at you and laugh at me
The mirror people, know not how to cry
So they scream, the mirror people scream inside
Because I could be nothing at all
Because I should be nothing at all
I wish I could be nothing at all
I wish I could be nothing at all
Time goes by so slow
When your stuck to me
Time goes by so slow
When your stuck to me
Yes it's true we're all in a gutter
And yes it's true please set me free
The christian says
I love love everybody
And you and you and you can be free
But I'm so happy with my feet on the ground
So happy my head spins around
Quite content to sit on this fence
Quite content
Now a little bit older
Because I could be nothing at all
Because I should be nothing at all
I wish I could be nothing at all
I wish I could be nothing at all
Time goes by so slow
When your stuck to me
Time goes by so slow
When your stuck to me

"Running Up That Hill" ~ Kate Bush

It doesn't hurt me
Do you want to feel how it feels
Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me
Do you want to hear about the deal I'm making
You
It's you and me

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building

Say if I only could oh...

You don't want to hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
Oh there is thunder in our hearts
Is there so much hate for the ones we love
Tell me we both matter don't we
You
It's you and me
It's you and me, you won't be unhappy

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with god
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building

If I only could...

You
It's you and me
It's you and me, you won't be unhappy

Come on baby, come on darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
Come on angel, come on, come on darling
Let's exchange the experience, oh...

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems...

And if I only could
Be running up that hill
With no problems.

Hey Dreamy. Now you have that song in my head!

Time for some anarcho punk!

"Banned From The Roxy" by CRASS

Banned from the Roxy... O.K.
I never much liked playing there anyway.
They said they only wanted well behaved boys,
Do they think guitars and microphones are just fucking toys?
Fuck 'em, I chosen to make my stand,
Against what I feel is wrong with this land.
They just sit there on their overfed arses,
Feeding off the sweat of less fortunate classes.
They keep their fucking power cause their finger's on the button,
They've got control and won't let it be forgotten.
The truth of their reality is at the wrong end of a gun,
The proof of that is Belfast and that's no fucking fun.
Seeing the squaddy lying in the front yard,
Seeing the machine guns resting on the fence.
Finding the entrance to your own front door is barred
And they've got the fucking nerve to call it defence.
Seems their defence is just the threat of strength,
Protection for the privileged at any length.
The government protecting their profits from the poor,
The rich and the fortunate chaining up the door.
Afraid that the people may ask for a little more
Than the shit they get. The shit they get.
The shit they get. The shit they get.
The shit they get. The shit they get.
The shit they get. The shit they get.
DEFENCE? SHIT, IT'S NOTHING LESS THEN WAR
AND NO ONE BUT THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS WHAT THE FUCK IT'S FOR.

Oh yes they say it's defence, they say it's decency,
Mai Lai, Hiroshima, know what I mean?
The same fucking lies with depressing frequency,
They say "We had to do it to keep our lives clean"
Well whose like? Whose fucking life?
Who the fuck are they talking to?
Whose life? Whose fucking life?
I tell you one thing, it ain't me and you.
And their system, christ, they're everywhere,
School, army, church, corporation deal.
A fucked up reality based on fear,
A fucking conspiracy to stop you feeling real.
Well ain't got me, I'd say their fucking wrong,
I ain't quite ready with my gun, but I've got my song...
Banned from the Roxy, well O.K.
I never much liked playing there anyway.
GUNS.

[Slap Your Love]

Closer my love by Entwine.

Closer my love
Veil me with your warmth
Oh how afraid we are
I hold my breath
I try to hide my pain
Here in your embrace
So this pain would be gone

This time I want you to
Dry all your tears as we make…

Love…for the last time
Replace your heart with mine…
Deep inside
Please stay with me through the night

I rinse my face
With your tears
Too many tears for the end
Darling please don't you cry
You hold your breath
You try to hide your pain
Here in my embrace
So this pain would be gone

Fly without sorrow
In my dreams we meet again
For you I live I would die for
You'll stay deep inside my heart

An American Dream by Love and Rockets from Express

And I was dreaming in my sleep
Saw through you all
And I was dreaming still on my feet
Saw through you all

And I saw what you could be
And you just don't feel free

And I saw what you could be
But you just won't be real to me

So let's blame this excess
On an American dream
So let's blame the success
Of an American dream

Are you confused by the chaos
In everyones wandering eyes
Do you dream of running naked
In warm rain
Are you confused by the chaos
It's no, it's no surprise
We all stand next to Jesus
Close to Satan we're both the same

These birds can't fly away away
These birds can't fly away

So let's blame this excess
On an American dream
So let's blame the success
Of an American dream
Of an American dream
Of an American dream
Of an American dream

Feeling so high and low
It's the American dream
It's the American dream
It's the American dream
It's the American dream

Acovenant of thorns - Purgatory

I am the god of emptiness
I am the god of pain
I am the god of agony
God of the insane

Will you look into my soul
And tell me what you find
Tell me this emptiness
Is just a state of mind

I am the keeper of fear
I am the keeper of fate
I am the keeper of nothing
The keeper of all hate

Will you hide me away
And help my wounds to heal
Wrap your arms around me
And teach me how to fell

And I don't want your forgiveness
I don't want your blame
I don't want forever
I don't want to be the same

I wish I knew what it was that you were
Searching for this time
I think I know what it is that you've been
Missing all this time

Tell me I brought it on myself
All of this decay
Tell me that god will always love me
And can wash it all away
Tell me that you know how I feel
And it makes you love me more
Tell me that you understand me
And you've seen it all before

[zeronegativeplus]

Covenant - Like tears in rain

Go to the empire state and watch the city lights
Hear the noise of millions struggle in the sprawl
Stare into the sky we're few and far between
Black eyes full of stars wide with memories

Every street I ever walked
Every home I ever had
Is lost

Every flower I ever held
Every spring I ever had
Has dried

Every man I ever knew
Every woman I ever had
Is gone

Everything I ever touched
Everything I ever had
Has died

Lie down in the park and watch the satellites
Hear the children sing just a breath away
Dance in heavy air along the interstate
Black lung full of fumes choke on memories

Every street I ever walked
Every home I ever had
Is lost

Every flower I ever held
Every spring I ever had
Has dried

Every man I ever knew
Every woman I ever had
Is gone

Everything I ever touched
Everything I ever had
Has died

[Bat Attack]

Of Lillies And Remains by Bauhaus.

In the marbled reception hall I received a three band gold ring, from Mark. A token of esteem. Running through ghost closet locker rooms, to hide from Peter, who has fallen to the old cold stone floor, wheezing and emitting a seemingly endless flow of ectoplasmic white goo from ears and mouth. A wind rushes through the hall, whistles as it breezes through the narrow slits in the green locker doors. I hide in one of these, number thirteen.
Barely concealed but hopeful
Blackout
Blackout!

I will climb this high wall
In remembrance of Clancy
To regain or re-earn my life
As I died just a flicker of an eyelid ago
The wall has many holes
And many foot pieces to fasten to
The wall is dangerous, and this is my penance
My penance and my task

I did it once and they wondered
Yet I need to go, once more around
Up breathtakingly
Across rigidly
Down easily - and foolishly
I endeavoured again
To climb the wall in vain
And capture back my chain
Of lillies and remains
Of lillies and remains
Of lillies and remains

[Gothic.Jade...]

Grand Unification (Part 2) By Fightstar

(Mankind has always wondered about the kind of universe it lives in. Mankind has always indulged in
creation myths as far back as recorded history goes, and it's just human nature to want to understand the
universe we live in, where it came from, what it is now and where it's going.)

With all apologies you wake me up,
You hold the porcelain to take me home.

Hold my hand until the waves come,
Hold my hand until the waves come.

This is our last, take care love,
It won't stop, it won't stop a thing.

With all apologies you wake me up,
You hold the porcelain to take me home.

Hold my hand until the waves come,
The waves come,
Just hold my hand until the waves come around.

(Well, the Einstein equations are sort of the Mount Everest of thoretical physicsand - you know - we
want to get to the top; we want to be able to make Einstein's equations routine to solve. We would like
to have undergraduates be alve to solve Einstein's equations routinely. MIght as well have grade school
kids doing it becasue - you know - the physics is intuative. Grade school kids know about Black HOles
and they might want to know: "Well, gosh, what happens if I drop a Black Hole in a Black Hole?")

The World As We Know It by SKSK

Time is becoming
More precious than gold
All those times wasted alone
Starving children the poison waters
And the suffocating skies
We won't get another chance this time
We won't get a second chance this time

You'll be lucky if you make it out alive
Haven't we lost our minds?
What the hell were we all thinking?
Now they're choosing sides
This is the world
This is the world

A virus known as rage
Is brutally destroying
And spreading all over the place
A bleeding culture
A dying nation
When the money controls the tide
We won't get another chance this time
We won't get a second chance this time

You'll be lucky if you make it out alive
Haven't we lost our minds?
What the hell were we all thinking?
Now they're choosing sides
Well this is the world as we know it
Have we lost our minds?

The tension is rising and rising
And the world is at stake
Take back what belongs to you, by God
Before it's to late
TAKE IT BACK!
TAKE IT BACK!
TAKE IT BACK!

So close your eyes
And paint the picture
The sunset staring back
Won't last forever, forever
Just close your eyes
And paint the picture
'Cause the world we could've had
Would have been better, much better
Just close your eyes
And paint the picture
'Cause the sunset staring back
Won't last forever, forever

[MirrorsAndMonoxide]

Hurt, the Johnny Cash version

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

And continuing in the theme of happy songs! :^)

So Low, by SElf

hello, meet my problems
i only miss you when i'm with you
got a fly car to jet around town
gone sour to the bone, gone bad to the marrow
financial situation's depleted
guess a slap in the face is what i really needed
from a strong hand to make me a man
what more could i ask, what more could i stand?

i'm so low that i wish i was dead
with a knife in my chest and a bullet through my head
i'm so low that i wish i was dead
must i go on?

sold all my friends today
i'm so low that i wish i was dead
i gave everything away
now i'm bound only by twine and thread

i'm so low that i wish i was dead
with a knife in my chest and a bullet through my head
i'm so low that i wish i was dead
must i go on?

just give me time
don't give me time to miss you
just give me time
don't give me time to miss you

on a short leash, yet she was earthbound
so i threw her in the lost and found
now she's scaring me
i found charity with a pink trombone and a timpany
just ignore my footprints
and just ignore the sand
my epitaph stands before me
so wear your ego to the funeral of a frightened man

i'm so low that i wish i was dead
with a knife in my chest and a bullet through my head
i'm so low that i wish i was dead
must i go on?

saw her standing in the doorway, fade away
and i believe in it
if i were dead
if i were dead
if i were dead
she wouldn't love me anymore

i'm so low that i wish i was dead
with a knife in my chest and a bullet through my head
i'm so low that i wish i was dead
must i go on?

[MIRON]

I've dreamed so many fruitless dreams
For love is never what it seems
It brings only sorrow with its many stings
I can only wait for death my summons to bring
Within my heart no more love can abide
For there is no one to keep near my side
I bleed from every pore from the despair that i feel
But I know of no pain that death will not heal

Truth bursts forth with radiant light
Showing me the path of right
For now the day has past and gone
And only night is coming on
No more the sun with golden beam
The earth is ruled by the moon with softer gleam
A million stars fill up the sky
All the earth is a cool dark place to die

[Stormtrooper of Death]

Time for one of my favorite fuck around songs.

Mucky Pup by THE EXPLOITED from 1981's "Punk's Not Dead"

Go!
Well I pick my nose
then I eat it up
Im a real humdinger
Im a mucky pup

[Chorus:]
Im a mucky pup [x7]
Im a pup

Oh I don't take drugs
I've given glue up
But I stare at people
Im a mucky pup

Banjo!

Oh I see pretty girls
and I picked you up
Then my nipples go point-point
Im a mucky pup

Oh the nine o'clock news
is something to trip on
I bleeding love her -
Angela Rippon!

She's got big tits
