Ring Out, Solstice Bells - Jethro Tull

Now is the solstice of the year, winter is the glad song that you hear. Seven maids move in seven time. Have the lads up ready in a line. Ring out these bells. Ring out, ring solstice bells. Ring solstice bells. Join together beneath the mistletoe. by the holy oak whereon it grows. Seven druids dance in seven time. Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming. Ring out these bells. Ring out, ring solstice bells. Ring solstice bells. Praise be to the distant sister sun, joyful as the silver planets run. Seven maids move in seven time. Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming. Ring out those bells. Ring out, ring solstice bells. Ring solstice bells. Ring on, ring out. Ring on, ring out.

The Bard's Song - Blind Guardian

Now You all know The bards and their songs When hours have gone by I'll close my eyes In a world far away We may meet again But now hear my song About the dawn of the night Let's sing the bards' song [Ref.:] Tomorrow will take us away Far from home No one will ever know our names But the bards' songs will remain Tomorrow will take it away The fear of today It will be gone Due to our magic songs There's only one song Left in my mind Tales of a brave man Who lived far from here Now the bard songs are over And it's time to leave No one should ask You for the name Of the one Who tells the story [Ref.:] Tomorrow will take us away Far from home No one will ever know our names But the bards' songs will remain Tomorrow all will be known And You're not alone So don't be afraid In the dark and cold 'Cause the bards' songs will remain They all will remain In my thoughts and in my dreams They're always in m...

Watching Over Me - Iced Earth

I had a friend many years ago One tragic night he died The saddest time of my life For weeks and weeks I cried Through the anger and through the tears I've felt his spirit through the years I'd swear, He's watching me Guiding me through hard times I feel it once again It's overwhelming me His spirit's like the winds The angel guarding me Oh, I know, oh, I know He's watching over me Oh, I know, oh, I know He's watching over me We shared dreams like all best friends Blood brothers at the age of ten We lived reckless, he paid the price But why? Why did he have to die? It still hurts me to this day Am I selfish for feeling this way? I know he's an angel now Together we'll be someday I feel it once again It's overwhelming me His spirit's like the wind The angel guarding me Oh, I know, oh, I know He's watching over me Oh, I know, oh, I know He's watching over me

Hollow Years - Dream Theater

He's just the kind of man You hear about Who leaves his family For an easy out They never saw the signs He never said a word He couldn't take another day Carry me to the shoreline Bury me in the sand Walk me across the water And maybe you'll understand Once the stone You're crawling under Is lifted off your shoulders Once the cloud that's raining Over you head disappears The noise that you'll hear Is the crashing down of hollow years She's not the kind of girl You hear about She'll never want another She'll never be without She'll give you all the signs She'll tell you everything Then turn around and walk away Carry me to the shoreline Bury me in the sand Walk me across the water And maybe you'll understand Once the stone You're crawling under Is lifted off your shoulders Once the cloud that's raining Over you head disappears The noise that you'll hear Is the crashing down of hollow ye...

Conquistadores - Running Wild

Exploring the seas to conquer new lands Troops arrayed by the church Sanctified and blessed they set out Crusaders, gentiles' scourge They fight, they kill, they rape Under the banner of the 'holy' church They hunt, they lie, they cheat, they steal Doing dirty deeds under churchbell's peal Conquistadores - Hungry for gold, doing as the religious madman told Conquistadores - Religion's knight, havoc and death caused by pride Pearls of glass for ingets of gold Violence, force and deceit Taking the wealth or the Indian's life Their way of feeding their greed Heathen must turn to Christianity It's like 'believe or die' Arrogance and blindness, religion's force Believers never ask the reason why

Space and Time - The Verve

There ain't no space and time To keep our love alive We have existence and it's all we share There ain't no real truth There ain't no real lies Keep on pushin' 'cause I know it's there Oh, can you just tell me It's all right (It's all right) Let me sleep tonight Oh, can you comfort me Tonight (It's all right) Make it all seem fine I just can't make it alone Oh, no, no I just can't make it alone Oh, no, no There'll be no lullabies There'll be no tears cried We feel numb 'cause we don't see That if we really care And we really loved Think of all the joy we'd feel Oh, can you just tell me It's all right (It's all right) Let me sleep tonight Oh, can you comfort me Tonight (It's all right) Make it all seem fine I just can't make it alone Oh, no, no I just can't make it alone Oh, no, no I just can't make it alone Oh, no, no I just can't make it alone Oh, ...

A Gothic Love Song - Current 93

Image
I'm clicking your fingers for a gothic twilight That actually existed just in your head Your fingernails painted black Or bloodred I forget And your fake-leather volumes Jabbering on hell Manifest decadence was what you hoped to exhail Your eyes tried so hard to glitter A star-snuffing black So you opened your books And you opened your legs And so opened your heart And let in the badness You claimed As your friend With un-angels hovering Like flies round the orchard That had covered your soul Their empire increasing And your country Deserted by yourself The bells of St. Mary call us to remember That life is with end And the gestures can kill us Moreover destroy And there is one judgment only Your letters came daily In French or in German But they meant to me nothing I caught the slow cords And dry ice fogging your mind I see all too clearly now Why you could be discarded And though I could pray for you I probably shan't Having had my c...

Red Barchetta - Rush

My uncle has a country place that no one knows about He says it used to be a farm before the Motor Law And on Sundays, I elude the eyes, hop the turbine freight To far outside the wire, where my white-haired uncle waits ...Jump to the ground as the turbo slows to cross the borderline Then run like the wind as excitement shivers up and down my spine But down in his barn, my uncle preserved for me an old machine For fifty odd years, to keep it as new has been his dearest dream I strip away the old debris that hides a shining car A brilliant red Barchetta from a better vanished time Ooh, fired up the willing engine, responding with a roar Tires spitting gravel, I commit my weekly crime Wind in my hair Shifting and drifting Mechanical music Adrenaline surge Well-weathered leather, hot metal and oil The scented country air Sunlight on chrome, the blur of the landscape Every nerve aware Suddenly ahead of me across the mountainside A gleaming alloy air car shoots t...

Way Out of Here - Porcupine Tree

Out at the train tracks I dream of escape But a song comes onto my iPod And I realize it's getting late I can't take the staring and the sympathy And I don't like the questions, "How do you feel?" "How's it going in school?" "Do you wanna talk about it?" Way out, way out of here Fade out, Fade out, vanish I'll try to forget you And I know that I will In a thousand years Or maybe a week I'll burn all your pictures Cut out your face The shutters are down and the curtains are closed And I've covered my tracks Disposed of the car And I'll try to forget even your name And the way that you look when you're sleeping, And dreaming of this Way out, way out of here Fade out, Fade out, vanish

Blackest Eyes, Trains - Porcupine Tree live @ Technopolis, Athens 2010

A mother sings a lullaby to a child Sometime in the future the boy goes wild And all his nerves are feeling some kind of energy A walk in the woods and I will try Something under the trees that made you cry It's so erotic when your make up runs I got wiring loose inside my head I got books that I never ever read I got secrets in my garden shed I got a scar where all my urges bled I got people underneath my bed I got a place where all my dreams are dead Swim with me into your blackest eyes A few minutes with me inside my van Should be so beautiful if we can I'm feeling something taking over me Train set and match spied under the blind Shiny and contoured the railway winds And I've heard the sound from my cousin's bed The hiss of the train at the railway head Always the summers are slipping away A 60 ton angel falls to the earth A pile of old metal, a radiant blur Scars in the country, the summer and her Always the summers are slipping away ...

Wire To Wire - Razorlight

What is love but the strangest of feelings? A sin you swallow for the rest of your life? You've been looking for someone to believe in To love you until your eyes run dry She lives by disillusion glow We go where the wild blood flows On our bodies we share the same scar Love me wherever you are How do you love with a fate full of rust? How do you turn what the savage tame? You've been looking for someone you can trust To love you again and again How do you love in a house without feelings? How do you turn what the savage tame? I've been looking for someone to believe in Love me again and again She lives by disillusion's glow We go where the wild blood flows On our bodies we share the same scar How do you love on a night without feelings? She says love i hear sound i see fury She says love's not a hostile condition Love me wherever you are Love me wherever you are Love me wherever you are Wherever you are

The Pretender - Foo Fighters

Keep you in the dark you know they all pretend keep you in the dark and so it all began Send in your skeletons Sing as their bones go marching in again they need you buried deep the secrets that you keep are ever ready Are you ready? I'm finished making sense done pleading ignorance that whole defense Spinning infinity Boy, the wheel is spinning me It's never ending, never ending Same old story What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? You're the pretender What if I say that I will never surrender? In time or so I'm told I'm just another soul for sale, oh well the page is out of print, we are not permanent We're temporary, temporary Same old story What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? You're the pretender What if I say that I will never surrender? I'm the voice inside your head you refuse to hear ...

Another Permanent Address - Chroma Key

sometimes i wanna sleep in the street but it feels a little funny without you down in the basement feeling the pavement holding my stomach and sometimes i can't believe my own feet so i found another permanent address sold the old mattress keeping the changes talking to strangers i knew i could forget you that's what i'm gonna do now i'm staring at a stop sign just like the last time hey you're everything you dreamed you'd be what a civilized way to be angry locked in the attic, starting to panic wait, that's me always it's the same situation it's got to be somebody's fault but i never know what to do so let's say we put the blame on you standing in a phone booth waiting for the punch line trying not to call you just like the last time sometimes i wanna sleep in the street but it feels a little funny without you down in the basement feeling the pavement holding my stomach in and sometimes i can't belie...

Sunshower - Chris Cornell

Dark as roses, fine as sand Feel your healing and your sting again Hear your laughing and my soul is saved On forgotten graves you cry Crawl like ivy up my spine Through my nerves and into my eyes Cuts like anguish or recollection Of better days gone by But it's alright when you're caught in pain And you feel the rain come down. It's alright when you find your way Then you see it disappear It's alright though your garden's gray I know all your graces Someday will flower in a sweet sunshower Eyes like oceans, so far away A feather trail to a better way Worried mornings turn into days Then into worried nights But it's alright all you'll be you are today

Motorcycle Emptiness - Manic Street Preachers

Culture sucks down words Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles Organise your safe tribal war Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto Each day living out a lie Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Life lies a slow suicide Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths From feudal serf to spender This wonderful world of purchase power Just like lungs sucking on air Survivals natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness All we want from you are the kicks you've given us All we want from you are the kicks you've given us All we want from you are the kicks you've given us All we want from you are the kicks you've given us Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Drive away and it's the same Everywhere death row, everyone's a victim Your joy...

I Don't Know Anything - Mad Season

Image
I don't know anything I don't know anything I don't know anything I don't know who I am I don't know anything I don't know anything I don't know anything I don't know who to be Why we have to be in so much pain everyday? Why the fighting and the coming down, am I sane? I don't know When the teacher puts the ruler down on my hand I laugh! Cross my heart and hide reliever in trails of blood, I love?!?

Undertow - Pain of Salvation

Image
Let me go Let me go Let me seek the answers that I need to know Let me find a way Let me walk away Through the Undertow Please let me go Let me fly Let me fly Let me rise against that blood-red velvet sky Let me chase it all Break my wings and fall Probably survive So let me fly Let me fly... Let me run Let me run Let me ride the crest of chance into the sun You were always there But you may lose me here Now love me if you dare And let me run I'm alive and I am true to my heart now - I am I, but why must truth always make me die? Let me break! Let me bleed! Let me tear myself apart I need to breathe! Let me lose my way! Let me walk astray! Maybe to proceed... Just let me bleed! Let me drain! Let me die! Let me break the things I love I need to cry! Let me burn it all! Let me take my fall! Through the cleansing fire! Now let me die! Let me die... Let me out Let me fade into that pitch-black velvet night

Tears - Dream Theater (Rush cover)

Image
All of the seasons and all of the days All of the reasons why I've felt this way So long... So long Then lost in that feeling I looked in your eyes I noticed emotion and that you had cried For me, I can see What would touch me deeper... Tears that fall from eyes that only cry? Would it touch you deeper Than tears that fall from eyes that know why? A lifetime of questions, tears on your cheek I tasted the answers and my body was weak For you, The truth. What would touch me deeper... Tears that fall from eyes that only cry? Would it touch you deeper Than tears that fall from eyes that know why?

Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun - Pink Floyd

Image
Little by little the night turns around. Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn. Lotuses lean on each other in yearning. Under the eaves the swallow is resting. Set the controls for the heart of the sun. Over the mountain watching the watcher. Breaking the darkness Waking the grapevine. One inch of love is one inch of shadow Love is the shadow that ripens the wine. Set the controls for the heart of the sun. The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun. Witness the man who raves at the wall Making the shape of his questions to Heaven. Whether the sun will fall in the evening Will he remember the lesson of giving? Set the controls for the heart of the sun. The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun.

Little Window - Baby Dee

Little window Little window open wide Little window Open on a clear blue sky And let that sky be sweet To cross an age for you And take your comfort there, Dear Baby's sleeping Her sister's sleeping by her side Mama's sleeping And Daddy sings a lullaby And let that song be sweet To cross an age to you And take your comfort there, Dear Kitty's waiting Waiting for that morning sky Kitty's waiting Morning comes and Kitty cries And let those tears be sweet To cross an age to you And take your comfort there, Dear Tiny fingers Tiny fingers on a tiny hand Tiny fingers Reaching out to find a friend That such a tiny hand Should cross an age to me And hold out such a sky So clear and blue And full of hope So full of hope So full of hope Hope Hope Hope

Upon The Highest Mountain - Lake of Tears

I wish, I dream, I dream of mountains high Where I can sit and look down the hills, and say "This is I" I wish, I dream, I dream of mountains high Where I can stand and raise my hands, and touch the sky A streak of light, opened in the darkness "Little child, welcome to the outer realms This is your kingdom, this is your destiny" That little child, that little child was me "My son, you must wander far There is a place, seek it skywards Up high, where mountains break the clouds There is your place, upon the highest mountain" A wish to wander far, to find the mountains high A dream to be king, up high where heaven lies "Hurry little child, run, king to be, run Climb the highest peak, and reach for the sun..." I wish, I dream, I dream of mountains high Where I can sit and look down the hills, and say "This is I" I wish, I dream, I dream of mountains high Where I can stand and raise my hands, and touch the sky ...

Linoleum - Pain of Salvation

She keeps the world at bay With walls built to stand come-what-may And with that coldness on display, they held until today She would hold her own Running all alone Ridding her road of every grain To stay in control But now She cries Alive Suddenly she is down on all four And the walls will support her no more Cries her eyes out like never before Onto this linoleum The bottled up and stored She's won every war And when she's out that door She will push ahead of you, frowning at the poor She would move so fast not to end up last Aiming for the finish line To smile at those she'd passed But now She cries Alive Suddenly she is down on all four And the walls will support her no more Cries her eyes out like never before Onto this linoleum The bottled up. And stored -- And sometimes Oh, just sometimes That's really all it takes: A hand on her shoulder Then she breaks Sometimes that's really all it takes: (Yes then) A word of ki...

Senza Vento - Timoria

E son qui, non c'é niente strade, bar: comunque mi difendo e non mi arrendo La mia età é il fuoco freddo nato qui, vivo e non credo in niente Mi dici che trent' anni fa fermaste un pò il mondo mi dicono che vent' anni fa era tutto diverso Ma sono pronto / E libertà Per volare senza vento Come me anche tu resti qui e vedi le giornate già vissute Dentro me, il risveglio ciao a voi perché domani parto sweet reaction Qualcosa di mio lo lascerò in questo mio tempo Saltando nel vuoto aspetterò il nostro momento Sono pronto / E libertà Per volare senza vento Sono pronto / E libertà Per volare senza vento

On The Page - Chroma Key

Tell me something stupid Auction off my diary Life is getting esoteric Let me in your movie Each time i walk out the door Someone mixes metaphors Life is so much cleaner on the page It's like the morning when i'm dreaming And everything is so pristine It's just a seven hour movie And i'm in every scene Let me in my t.v. Get this tape to tori Got to have a subplot When i sell them my life story Maybe i should write it first And do the living later 'cause life is so much cleaner on the page It's like the time i lost my body And then i saw it on t.v. Somehow it shed a whole dimension But it still looked like me (hey! that looks like me!) Each time i write lines for it Someone improvises it Life is so much cleaner on the page Life is so much cleaner on the page

Fade Into You - Mazzy Star

Image
I want to hold the hand inside you I want to take a breath that's true I look to you and I see nothing I look to you to see the truth You live your life You go in shadows You'll come apart and you'll go black Some kind of night into your darkness Colors your eyes with what's not there. Fade into you Strange you never knew Fade into you I think it's strange you never knew A stranger's light comes on slowly A stranger's heart without a home You put your hands into your head And then it's smiles cover your heart Fade into you Strange you never knew Fade into you I think it's strange you never knew
