Good King Wenceslas - Loreena McKennitt

Image
Good King Wenceslas looked out on the feast of Stephen, when the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even. Brightly shown the moon that night, though the frost was cruel, when a poor man came in sight, gathering winter fuel. Hither, page, and stand by me. If thou know it telling: yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling? Sire, he lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain, right against the forest fence by Saint Agnes fountain. Bring me flesh, and bring me wine. Bring me pine logs hither. Thou and I will see him dine when we bear them thither. Page and monarch, forth they went, forth they went together through the rude wind's wild lament and the bitter weather. Sire, the night is darker now, and the wind blows stronger. Fails my heart, I know not how - I can go no longer. Mark my footsteps my good page, tread thou in them boldly: Thou shalt find the winter's rage freeze thy blood less coldly. In ...

Derniere Danse - Indila

Image
  Oh ma douce souffrance, Pourquoi s'acharner tu r'commence Je ne suis qu'un être sans importance Sans lui je suis un peu "paro" Je déambule seule dans le metro Une dernière danse Pour oublier ma peine immense Je veux m'enfuir, que tout recommence Oh ma douce souffrance Je remue le ciel, le jour, la nuit Je danse avec le vent, la pluie Un peu d'amour, un brin de miel Et je danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, danse Et dans le bruit, je cours et j'ai peur Est-ce mon tour? Vient la douleur... Dans tout Paris, je m’abandonne Et je m'envole, vole, vole, vole, vole Que d’espérance... Sur ce chemin en ton absence J'ai beau trimer, sans toi ma vie n'est qu'un décor qui brille, vide de sens Je remue le ciel, le jour, la nuit Je danse avec le vent, la pluie Un peu d'amour, un brin de miel Et je danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, danse Et dans le bruit, je cours et j'ai peur Est-ce mon tour? Vient la doule...

Africa - Toto

Image
I hear the drums echoing tonight But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation She's coming in, 12:30 flight The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation I stopped an old man along the way Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you" It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had The wild dogs cry out in the night As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company I know that I must do what's right As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take...

Summer Sunshine - The Corrs

Image
Everyone's changing, I stay the same I'm a solo cello outside a chorus I've got a secret, It's time for me to tell that you've been keeping me warm Just sweet beginnings and bitter endings In coffee city, we borrowed heaven Don't give it back, I've never felt so wanted Are you taking me home? You tell me you have to go... In the heat of summer sunshine I miss you like nobody else In the heat of summer sunshine I kiss you, and nobody needs to know Now that you've left me, there's no returning I keep comparing, you're always winning I try to be strong but you'll never be more wanted Will you make me at home? Don't tell me you have to go... In the heat of summer sunshine I miss you like nobody else In the heat of summer sunshine I kiss you, and nobody needs to know To sweet beginnings and bitter en-dings In coffee city, we borrowed heaven Don't give it back Winter is coming and I need to stay warm In the heat ...

Harvest of Sorrow - Blind Guardian

Image
She is gone leaves are falling down The tear maiden will not return The seal of oblivion is broken And a pure love's been turned into sin At the dawn of our living time Hope may cover all cries Truth lurks hidden in the shadows Dreams might be filled with lies Soon there will be night Pain remains inside Suddenly (oh) it seemed so clear All the blindness was taken away She closed her eyes and she called out my name She was never ever never ever seen again Harvest of sorrow, your seed is grown In a frozen world full of cries When the ray of light shrinks Shall cold winter nights begin She is gone and I fall from grace No healing charm covers my wounds Fooled's the dawn and so I am Fooled by life and a bitter doom To bring you the end of the day At the dawn of our living time Hope it soon will pass by Facing a darkness I stand (alone) Harvest of sorrow, your seed is grown In a frozen world full of cries When the ray of light shrinks Shal...

The Rains of Castamere - Ramin Djawadi (Game of Thrones)

Image
And who are you, the proud lord said  that I must bow so low?  Only a cat of a different coat  that's all the truth I know.  In a coat of gold or a coat of red  a lion still has claws.  And mine are long and sharp, My Lord  as long and sharp as yours.  And so he spoke, and so he spoke,  that Lord of Castamere  but now the rains weep o'er his hall  with no one there to hear.  Yes, now the rains weep o'er his hall  and not a soul to hear.

Seeds of Love - Loreena McKennitt

Image
I sowed the seeds of love I sowed them in the spring I gathered them up in the morning so clear When the small birds so sweetly sing When the small birds so sweetly sing The gardener was standing by I asked him to choose for me He chose for me the violet, the lily and the pink But those I refused all three But those I refused all three The violet I did not like Because it bloomed so soon The lily and the pink I really over-think So I thought I would wait till June So I thought I would wait till June In June there was a red rose bud That is the flower for me I often times have plucked that red rose bud Till I gained the willow tree Till I gained the willow tree The willow tree will twist The willow tree will twine I often have wished I was in the young man's arms Who once had the arms of mine Who once had the arms of mine I sowed the seeds of love I sowed them in the spring I gathered them up in the morning so soon When the small birds so sweetly ...

Riders On The Storm - The Doors

Image
Riders on the storm Riders on the storm Into this house we're born Into this world we're thrown Like a dog without a bone An actor out alone Riders on the storm There's a killer on the road His brain is squirmin' like a toad Take a long holiday Let your children play If ya give this man a ride Sweet memory will die Killer on the road, yeah Girl ya gotta love your man Girl ya gotta love your man Take him by the hand Make him understand The world on you depends Our life will never end Gotta love your man, yeah Riders on the storm Riders on the storm Into this house we're born Into this world we're thrown Like a dog without a bone An actor out alone Riders on the storm Riders on the storm

Let It Go - Idina Menzel

Image
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight Not a footprint to be seen A kingdom of isolation, And it looks like I’m the Queen. The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried Don’t let them in, don’t let them see Be the good girl you always have to be Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know Well, now they know Let it go, let it go Can’t hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go Turn away and slam the door I don’t care What they’re going to say Let the storm rage on, The cold never bothered me anyway It’s funny how some distance Makes everything seem small And the fears that once controlled me Can’t get to me at all It’s time to see what I can do To test the limits and break through No right, no wrong, no rules for me I’m free Let it go, let it go I am one with the wind and sky Let it go, let it go You’ll never see me cry Here I stand And here I'll stay Let the storm rage on My pow...

Everywhere is freaks and hairies Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity Tax the rich, feed the poor Till there are no rich no more I'd love to change the world But I don't know what to do So I'll leave it up to you Population keeps on breeding Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy Life is funny, skies are sunny Bees make honey, who needs money, monopoly I'd love to change the world But I don't know what to do So I'll leave it up to you World pollution, there's no solution Institution, electrocution Just black and white, rich or poor Them and us, stop the war I'd love to change the world But I don't know what to do So I'll leave it up to you

Strange Fruit - Billie Holiday

Image
Southern trees bear strange fruit Blood on the leaves and blood at the root Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees Pastoral scene of the gallant south The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh Then the sudden smell of burning flesh Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop Here is a strange and bitter crop

Uninvited - Alanis Morissette

Image
Like anyone would be I am flattered by your fascination with me Like any hot-blooded woman I have simply wanted an object to crave But you, you're not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight Must be strangely exciting To watch the stoic squirm Must be somewhat heartening To watch shepherd need shepherd But you you're not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight Like any uncharted territory I must seem greatly intriguing You speak of my love like You have experienced love like mine before But this is not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight I don't think you unworthy I need a moment to deliberate

Love Walked In - Thunder

Image
So tired of waiting I walked an empty land I was looking for something to help me understand But bad luck kept turning my dreams into sand I didn't want pity, I had my share of friends I wanted somebody more special than the rest I was aching inside like I was approaching the end Just about that moment the timing was so right You appeared like a vision sent down to my life I thought I was dreaming when I saw you that night   That's when love walked in through my door That familiar feeling I had once before  love walked in through my door And it felt so strange It's hard to remember being on my own That kind of loving makes a hard man lose control But I sleep so much better now I'm not alone So promise me baby you're always gonna stay I don't think I could take it seeing you walk away You don't need to doubt it, I remember that day That's when love walked in through my door That familiar feeling I had once before love walk...

Heroine - The Velvet Underground

Image
I don't know just where I'm going But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can 'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man When I put a spike into my vein And I'll tell ya, things aren't quite the same When I'm rushing on my run And I feel just like Jesus' son And I guess that I just don't know And I guess that I just don't know I have made the big decision I'm gonna try to nullify my life 'Cause when the blood begins to flow When it shoots up the dropper's neck When I'm closing in on death And you can't help me not, you guys And all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk You can all go take a walk And I guess that I just don't know And I guess that I just don't know I wish that I was born a thousand years ago I wish that I'd sailed the darkened seas On a great big clipper ship Going from this land here to that Put on a sailor's suit and cap Away from the big city Where a man can ...

I hate a lot of things I hate a lot of people that are lame I like to hate stuff Cause then I don't have to try and make a change I hate teachers I hate school I hate the cheerleaders And anyone who's cool I hate the office I hate the quad Don't wanna learn nothing I want to be a slob It's cool to hate It's cool to hate I don't like nothing and I like that fine It's cool to hate It's cool to hate I don't like nothing and I like that fine I don't like nothing and I like that fine Yeah I hate everything I even hate you, too So fuck you I'm always thinking bad I never have nothing good to say I'd rather tear things down Than build them up It's easier that way I hate the jocks And I hate the geeks I hate the trendies But I also hate the freaks I hate Dr. Martens and muscle T's I'm only happy when I'm in my misery It's cool to hate It's cool to hate Liking something's just...
