Favorite Lyrics..

[Stormtrooper of Death]

Why must men die for their aims
Why must children be orphaned for their games
Led down the war on the slaughters path

Led to the slaughter

No recognition except for a plague
But there's no return from the slaughters path
Led down the war on the slaughters path
By all the generals who stay at the back

LED TO THE SLAUGHTER BY THE VARUKERS
My favorite Varukers song.

[Anti-Mindvirus]

She took the oldsmobile out past condor ave
And she locked the car and slipped past
Into rythmic queitude
Lights burning
Voice dry and hoarse
I threw the screen door like a bastard back and forth
The feel over each other
I fell onto my knees
The sound of the car driving off made me feel diseased
A sick like you hear at the fairground
Now I'm picking up to put away anything of yours that's still around
I don't know what to do with your clothes or your letters
It'll make a whisper out of you

She took the oldsmobile out past condor ave
The fairground's lit
A drunk man sits by the gate she's driving through
Got his hat tipped bottle back in between his teeth
Looks like he's buried in the sand at the beach
I can't think about you driving off to leave barely awake
To take a little nap while the road is straight
I wish that car had never been discovered

They took away the bottle and the hat he was under
That's the one thing that he could never do
And it'll make a whisper out of you

She took the oldsmobile out past condor ave
Cops were running around the scene
Looking for some kind of clue
They ever get uptight when a moth gets crushed
Unless a light bulb really loved him very much
I'm lying down
Blowing smoke from my cigarette
Little whisper smoke signs you'll never get
You're in your oldsmobile driving past the moon
Headlights burning bright ahead of you
And someone's burning out on condor ave
Trying to make a whisper out of you

What a shitty thing to say
Did you really mean it?
You never said a word to me about what passed between us
So now I'm leaving you alone
You can do whatever the hell you want to


I really wish I had met this man...

Bad Habit by The Dresden Dolls
(I don't care for their music much, but the lyrics are fun.)
"You might say it's self-destructive
But I'd kick the bucket
sixty times before I'd kick the habit."

Of COURSE,
Working Class Hero by John Lennon
"As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see

There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill

If you want to be a hero well just follow me."

Green Day and Marilyn Manson covers are great, but they just can't beat John Lennon orignally.

[Haunted House]

"Queen Frostine" by Frank the Baptist
They're kinda cheesey, but I love how well they flow with the music.

-
You didn't see her coming

ever so slightly as she crept on in

Did I lie?

That was Queen Frostine

and her palace of broken dreams



Gleaming on a virtue

Did anybody pay a price but me? Did I lie?

That was Queen Frostine

in her palace of broken dreams



Everybody gather

here's a place where we can live and die

year after year

there's a prince of the after hours scene

in love with Queen Frostine



As bright as a star we all can see you

a scream for help no one can hear

you hopeless wretch

That's why we love you

Of all the flags to carry

why the sadness of man?



You didn't see her coming

once your guest she's now your master here

the walls here will choke you

in a place on a street by itself

if you stop playing

we must play forevermore



we're all destined to fall

we never built a wall

why do you choose this way?

you could have anything at all

[Overdriven]

"Salvation from your nightmares, the place where angels dream
Salvation from your life, closer the more you bleed
Salvation turning colder, betrayal from your lord
Salvation turns to nothing as you descend towards the fire"

[Stormtrooper of Death]

I really want to cover this song with my band! I've been listening to Blitz for a few years but never realy got too big into them until now.

BLITZ- WE ARE THE BOYS

We are the boys who can turn on the heat
we are the boys and you're under our feet
We've got nothing but the clothes that we wear
We've got that attitude - And we don't care

[chorus:]
Hey! we are the boys
And we make the noise
We call the shots
'Cos hey! we are the boys

We are the boys of another class
We drink the beer while you hold the glass
We take what we can and what we can use
We are the boys and we've got nothing to loose

[chorus]
Hey! we are the boys
And we make the noise
We call the shots
'Cos hey! we are the boys

We are the boys, we like bending the rules
we are the boys and you are the fools
You don't have to pose to mean what you feel
We are the boys and we mean it for real

[xParadigmx]

"hello. i saw you i know i knew you. i think i can remember your name."

i dont know where this came form, and i would really like to know. i thought about posting a new thread for it, but thats just wasteful.

anyway, i heard it at the whataburger the night my head spilt open and leaked red shit on my pants.

its a pretty happy song, older though, because thats all they play at whataburger.

[Wormboy]

"i thought about posting a new thread for it, but thats just wasteful. "

This mentality must spread.

[Murasaki eyeliner]

here are my favorite lyrics,the songs vampire club by volitair and it just rocks

Oh, the moon was full

And the color of blood

The night the pirates came

To the Vampire Club

Their leader was tall and snide and slim

He looked like a gay Captain Morgan

Well, he recognized a Vampire

From his school

And he did something that was

Most uncool, he said,

"Hey everybody, see that fool in the cape?"

His name's Bernie Weinstein

And he's in the 8th grade!"

chorus:
Fangs were flying, capes were torn

Hell hath no fury like a Vampire scorned

The number one rule in this game:

Never call one by his real name

Wigs were pulled, top hats were crushed

By pointy boots in a rush

And Boris at the bar orders a Bud and says,

"It's just another night at the Vampire Club."



Missi lost a fang in the ladies room

And we all laughed and called her 'Snaggletooth!"

And Dee was made cause he broke his cane

And he flushed his contacts down the drain

There was so much angst after the fight

Vlad and Akasha broke up that night

While some rivet-heads danced in a puddle of goo

That used to be "Father" you-know-who!

chorus:


Well, its hard to believe but we're still around

And when we hang out it's upside down

Dressed in black from toe to head singing,

"Bela Lugosi's still undead!"

A gaggle of goths is a peaceful site

We'd do anything to avoid a fight

But if you really want to see some gore and blood

Wait 'til the Ravers come to the Vampire Club

chorus:

[Beowulf]

This song is one of my all time favourites !!!.

Dream Theater `Take the Time`

Just let me catch my breath
I've heard the promises
I've seen the mistakes
I've had my share of tough breaks
I need a new voice, a new law, a new way
To take the time, reevaluate
It's time to pick up the peices,
Go back to square one
I think it's time for a change

There is something that I feel
To be something that is real
I feel the heat within my mind
And craft new challenges with my eyes
Giving freely wandering promises
A place with decisions I'll fashion
I won't waste another breath

You can feel the waves coming on
(it's time to take the time)
Let them destroy you or carry you on
(it's time to take them time)
You're fighting the weight of the world
But no one can save you this time
Close your eyes
You can find all you need in your mind

The unbroken spirit
Obscured and disquiet
Finds clearness this trial demands
And at the end of this day sighs an anxious relief
For the fortune lies still in his hands

If there's a pensive fear, a wasted year
A man must learn to cope
If his obsession's real,
Supression that he feels must turn to hope

Life is no more assuring than love
(it's time to take the time)
You're fighting the weight of the world
And no one can save you this time
Close your eyes
You can find all that you need in your mind

I close my eyes
And feel the water rise around me
Drown in the beat of time
Let my senses fall away
I cna see much better now, I'm blind

Find all you need in your mind
If you can take the time

[Splintered]

I think I love this song:

Dark Tranquillity ~ Indifferent Suns

And although it can be argued
Whether time will ever come to end
There is an overcoming sense of failing
If you never can see the end
In the giving of our hope eternal
We stumble blindly and forget the way
Is there ever time for answers
When the world comes tumbling down

All along we keep staring at the sun
Closing our minds
Saying we're the ones
All along we keep staring at the sun
Blind to see it when the day will come

And even if in days of wonders
A glance that may stray from the fold
Cast aside in the spirit of ignorance
A mere nuisance when it?s time to pay
Come undone now the strive and the passion
Giving under to the forces that be
Can you even think of questions
When the world comes tumbling down
We shut our eyes and turn away

All along we keep staring at the sun
Closing our minds
Saying we're the ones
All along we keep staring at the sun
Blind to see it when the day will come

[Beowulf]

Rush `Tom Sawyer`

My all time favourite Rush song !!!.

A modern-day warrior
Mean mean stride,
Today's tom sawyer
Mean mean pride.

Though his mind is not for rent,
Don't put him down as arrogant.
His reserve, a quiet defense,
Riding out the day's events.
The river


And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift.

The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his eyes are wide.

Today's tom sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the space he invades
He gets by on you.

No, his mind is not for rent
To any God or government.
Always hopeful, yet discontent,
He knows changes aren't permanent,
But change is.

And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the witness, catch the wit,
Catch the spirit, catch the spit.

The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his skies are wide.

Exit the warrior,
Today's tom sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the energy you trade,
He gets right on to the friction of the day.

[Joker_in_the_Pack]

This song is performed by Comeback Kid and appears on the album Broadcasting... (2007).

A common threat sits in our house
They keep on warning me
But I'm not always listening
And yesterday I heard the news of fire at my doorstep
But this morning they're just disputing semantics, disputing semantics

Blatantly apparent
Necessary illusions, broadcasting…
Releasing, persuading, compliance, compliance
Releasing, persuading, compliance, compliance

The common threat sits in our house
But I feel so far so far removed, removed, removed
The common threat sits in our house
But I feel so far so far removed
Keep the production rolling

Please provide us with guidance, with guidance

Fake it, amuse me
Necessary abusing. Broadcasting…
Releasing, persuading, compliance, compliance
Releasing, persuading, compliance, compliance

The common threat sits in our house
But I feel so far so far removed, removed, removed
The common threat sits in our house
But I feel so far so far removed

Keep the production rolling
Keep the production rolling
Keep the production rolling

ROLLING!

[Minyaliel]

Recently I fell in love with the lyrics on David Bowie's first album. Especially "Love You Till Tuesday", "Maids of Bond Street" and "Please, Mr. Gravedigger". It's a really, really great album.

[Aaroneet]

For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight on trampoline
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pablo-Fanques Fair, what a scene (Have you seen it? It's great, they got stuff.)
Over men and horses hoops and garters
Lastly through a hogshead of real fire!
In this way Mr. K. will challenge the world!
The celebrated Mr. K.
Performs his feat on Saturday at Bishopsgate
The Hendersons will dance and sing
As Mr. Kite flies through the ring don't be late
Messrs. K and H. assure the public
Their production will be second to none
And of course Henry The Horse dances the waltz!
The band begins at ten to six
When Mr. K. performs his tricks without a sound
And Mr. H. will demonstrate
Ten somersets he'll undertake on solid ground
'ving been some days in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all
And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill.
(It's me. In the thing.)

*song by the Beatles

I always think of my writing teacher when I hear this; I'll probably start calling him Mr. Kite when he's referred to in conversation.

[JCC]

Sikth - Pussyfoot

Sheep-ridden country
They pretend that's it's so free
Falling, they're bleeding, never really question
Why they die.

Swim in the lake of death
Eaten by crocodiles
So
No-one saw, no-one cares.

Can you see beyond this?
Or does everything swamp your mind?

I don't like the way
Tradition makes people believe
Like a robot saying: "All be happy"
My point exactly.

You see,
You're all the same
Dirty, fuckers gone insane
Hope there's an earthquake and it swallows all evil.

Open
Your mouth
Maybe
You'll find life
One day
You may see

Listen, these words may well
Teach you
To appreciate
Yourself
And not to follow
Live before dying
But don't-be-a-lone

This is not life you're living now
Don't let the fuckers make you frown
Look in their eyes, there's nothing true
It's up to you what you're gonna do
This is your life, do not ignore
Look deep within, is there something more?
Think what to do before you act
Bleed on the floor 'til you...

Just try
To think your
Own thoughts.

Sheep-ridden country
They pretend it's so free
Falling, they're bleeding
But never really question why they die.

So when you fall people watch you as you start to bleed
No pay per view, this show is free.

You must ask yourself,
Why am I here and what for..?

And when you die,
People, they will always cry
Only one thing is that you must be
Yourself while you're living.

Live life live life now!

To be like all the same
Dammit, there's no use
For you to have a name
Sheep 1 & sheep 2
The 2 of you.

You really need to speak
I'll listen to you
Before you bleed
To be untrue
Bleed...

Live life live life...

Stand up
On your two feet
Nobody's piece of meat
Don't listen to the fashion fuckers on TV

So now you spit
Back in the face
Of things that control & dissolve your mind.

Why can't you shout out
And why can't you
Be yourself, fuck what others think
To be proud, to be you, must be
You
Don't need to follow.

Too lazy to look within yourself
Is there something you don't want to know
Or don't want to see?

Why not let your mind grow?
Why exclude the unknown?
Maybe you also could be...

[bloomerbrigade]

@ Aaroneet -- Nice choice! ♥

Here is one favorite of mine: "Passage" by Vienna Teng


* * * * * *


I died in a car crash two days ago
Was unrecognizable
When they pulled me from the gears
No one's fault, no one's bottle
No one's teenage pride or throttle
Our innocence is all the worse for fears
The other walked away alive
Arms wrapped now around his wife

My lover sits, the silent eye
In a hurricane of warmth and word
My mother trembles with the sobs
Whose absence seems absurd
My sister shouts to let her see
Through the cloud of crowd surrounding me
My colleagues call for silence in my name

I died in a car crash three months ago
They burned me until I glowed
And crumbled to a fine gray sand
Now I am nothing, everywhere
Several breaths of strangers' air
And all thoughts ever written in my hand
They plant my tree out in the yard
It grows but takes the winter hard

My lover holds a knife to wrist
Says tomorrow comes, hold on a while
My mother tosses in the sheets
And dreams me holding my own child
My sister plays our homemade tapes
Laughs as tears run down her face
My office door now wears a different name

I died in a car crash four years ago
My tree drinks melted snow
Just eight feet tall, a pale and fragile thing
Bee stings; beaches; bright vacations;
Sunburnt high-school graduations;
A sparrow healing from a broken wing;
This year, a glimpse of second chances
Tiny apples on my tree's branches

My lover hears the open wind
And crawls blinking into the sun
My mother leafs through photographs
And thinks, "Yes, she was a lovely one..."
My sister can't decide her truth
Asks aloud what I might do
In a conference hall, my brief efforts engraved

I died in a car crash
A lifetime ago, it seems
Been a decade or two or three
They've just released a new design:
Bars and bags front and behind
My fate now an impossibility
Safely packaged, hurtling down,
The highway hardly make a sound

My lover very much alive
Arms wrapped now around his wife

[Beowulf]

The Invisible Guests


(solo:Pete solo:Andy)

Late that night I awoke from My sleep
Hearing unknown voices laughing insane
Grandma' was one,Oh it's coming
from the room next to mine
It's Grandma' room...
the invisible guests

(solo:Pete)

As I stood there alone in the dark
Peeking through the keyhole,
couldn't believe My eyes
Grandma' was inside the room
speaking to no one...
the invisible guests

Cups were rising in thin air
and then emptied on the floor
Suddenly the door was open
and Grandma' said:
"Do come My little friend"

(solo:Pete)

Missy and Mother
were sleeping downstairs
If they could see me in
Grandmother's chair

(solo:Andy)

Grandmother said
"Look Me deep in the eyes
You will forget
what you saw here tonight"
"I will let You in on the
secret of this house
The secret of Amon...
That's what we call this house
Now I want you to go back
to sleep My dear"
The invisible guests

(solo:Andy solo:Pete solo:Andy solo:Pete

Cups were rising in thin air
and then emptied on the floor
Suddenly the door was open
and Grandma' said:
Now I want you to go back
to sleep My dear"
"Go to sleep"..."Go to sleep"...
"Go to sleep"

Missy and Mother
were sleeping downstairs
If they could see me in
Grandmother's chair


This song is one of my all time favourite King Diamond songs, it has so much atmosphere, and Andi La Roque`s guitar work is amazing !!!.

Soft Green Fields by From A Second Story Window

HEAR THIS. I have seen their patronized eyes through the lashes of expired cadavers; and the removal of hearts through their chest cavities...
We are aware.
We are alive in this world...
We will see the sun as they tear our chests open and rip our fears from our minds; we are not troubled by this...
We can see the sun rise and fall with frost at our feet, and blood in our eyes.
Still there is more life for everyone, and we have not chosen this existence...
We will never see this stop happening, our shielded eyes!..
We will not see this aging moon until it soars!
They call it heaven.
Cry for yourself, CRY HUMANITY, or just cry for mercy.
Is this as much as you care to fake?..
We are not a spark to rise; we are flame to stamp out.
We are not what you expected this is the silence before the beginning.
We are aware...this is the end and we will show them all.
Am I the only one?
SEE THIS!
Watch in disbelief...
We are a destined few who will see this crumble down in our hands...
We are the few who wait as this crumbles down again...
This is the ending and it's where we start.
This is the ending and it's where we are.
Go! We are not ready for battle...
I cut the skin from my arms...we are not ready for battle, the world burns and we are dead from the inside out.
GO IN PEACE!

[PortraitOfSanity]

The God machine is hungry

for individualism and ripe brains
the skull farmers do their rain dance
and pray the machine falls to sleep
she holds me close
and whispers wet
"there are cannibals among us."
mad in love with dry dead boys
in the backs of
abandoned cars
smoking the bones of children
plotting the murder of love

strapped into the chair
the needle now descends
as they lick their cracking lips
their twitching never ends
blood beneath their finger nails,
swallow all my pain
dirty needles break the skin
suck hard as I drain
drain me
drain me
sunken eyes, a twisted spine
a whiter shade of pale
rockabilly man come to pound the coffin nails
inject my stomach full of
cockroach eggs
their machine is coming carried on a million legs
waking in the sleep of reason
winter is the forever season
lick thy mother's bleeding lips
from this glass of hate we sip
fuck the glass we pump the keg
kill conception at the egg
her chin is wet with someone's hate
love, disfigure, amputate
amputate
amputate
can you remember how it felt to be alive?
your god machine is cold
and dead your eyes they cannot cry
fuck your deities of dying love
we have shot them down from the skies above
screaming convulsing
my eyes are bleeding
be silent now and take your beating
I wonder how long you would live
with a bullet in your gut
I wonder how much shit you'd talk
if your throat was cut
I wonder what you'd sound like begging me
to let you breathe
I wonder how much pain it would take
to make you all believe
believe, believe, believe, believe
in me
I'm your god machine
fuck your god

My hands on the skein of height"

Dream Voice:
"... A pallid death
Mirage into dark
The horizons echo your glance
Following a detractive sleep"
I am the wrath beneath the heavens

My favorite lyrics gotta be "I remember nothing" by Joy Division
----

We were strangers. We were strangers. For way too long. For way too long. Violent. Violent. Were strangers. Get weak all the time. May just pass the time. Me in my own world. Yeah, you there beside. The gaps are enormous. We stare from each side. We were strangers. For way too long. Violent, more violent, his hand cracks the chair. Moves on reaction then slumps in despair. Trapped in a cage and surrendered too soon. Me in my own world. The one that you knew. (For way too long) We were strangers. For way too long. We were strangers. We were strangers. For way too long. For way too long.

[DruLaCroix]

My two favorite songs lyric wise are from Gary Numan. One song is Dead Heaven and the other is Dark. I am not going to post all the lyrics here because I don't really think that's necessary; however I will post my favorite part to Dark.

"So pray to me, I'm the Lord's new disease,
Look down into the face of God.
Bow down and cry, I'm the black Messiah,
The one true divinity.
Kneel before my altar and drink the wine of slaughter,
Who said I'd save anyone?
So bleed for me, I need hostility
To lead the faithful and the blind."

[Beowulf]

Therion `Lemuria`

In the ocean, deep down
Under raging waves, wrapped in memories, you'll find
Wrecks of stately ships, they all went astray

Captain, did you find
Land of Mu, Eldorado for the seaman?
Or did you sink in dreams (and) lose your ship
In the Sirens' symphony?

When the sailman's sailing away
He shows that the dream of Lemuria is true
A land lost he will find again
Hear the call from the depth of the anemone song
Do you dare to enter the ship?
Hear the call from below of an underwater world
Land of Mu is close to the stars
In the arms of the sea you will live as hypnotized

Call of Narayana, the seven-headed on
Lemuria, rise!

When the sailman's sailing away
He shows that the dream of Lemuria is true
A land lost he will find again
Hear the call from the depth of the anemone song
Do you dare to enter the ship?
Hear the call from below of an underwater world
Land of Mu is close to the stars
In the arms of the sea you will live as hypnotized



Classic !!!.

Hungry Lucy ~ STORM

Don't you bring me no sunshine today
I need the grey skies and the rain
You never understand my pain
I need the wind to blow it away

Afternoon showers for me
The coldness is all that I see
It numbs my pain so deep
The storm it will rock me to sleep

Rain
Will wash away my sorrow
Clouds
Make me see the light
Wind
Carries me away
To the place
I want to be

Alone in the dark sky tonight
I feel the thunder will make it alright
Lightning strikes me down to you
Love of the darkness will help me through

Rain
Will wash away my sorrow
Clouds
Make me see the light
Wind
Carries me away
To the place
I want to be
