"Stay" by 12 Stones (Awesome song!)

I walk to the edge again, searching for the truth
Taken by the memories of all that I've been
Through
If I could hear your voice I know that I would be
Okay
I know that I've been wrong but I'm begging you
To stay, won't you stay

Will you be here or will I be alone, will I be
Scared, you'll teach me how to be strong and if I
Fall down will you help me carry on, I cannot do
This alone

I wish that I could turn back time just to have
One more chance to be the man I need to be, I
Pray you'll understand if I could hear your
Voice I know that I would be okay I know that I've
Been wrong but I'm begging you to stay, won't
You stay

I need your hand to help me make it through
Again
Nothing compares to how I feel when I look at
You
You never know, you never know tomorrow
You never know, you never know tomorrow, don't
Walk away

I am not alone I know you're there

Theres a lady whos sure
All that glitters is gold
And shes buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and shes buying a stairway to heaven.

Theres a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
Theres a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

Theres a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And its whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If theres a bustle in your hedgerow
Dont be alarmed now,
Its just a spring clean for the may queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
Theres still time to change the road youre on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it wont go
In case you dont know,
The pipers calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How evrything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And shes buying a stairway to heaven.

That was Stairway to Heaven (Led Zeppelin) (R.I.P. Bonham)

Ashes and promises share a bond
Through the winds of change
Words are blown away
When visions that should be
Are tattooed in your mind
The power to let go
Is sometimes hard to find
The answer cannot be found
In the writing of others
Or the words of a trained mind
In a precious world of memories
We find ourselves confined
Claws so razor sharp
Ripping at the spirit
Promises a potential to hurt
Is anything real?
When forever is to be until
Deep inside, in the world of empty words...
No escaping from those haunting
Empty words...
Do you ever feel it?
A craving that is so strong
To by thought rewind in order to find
Expectations that shined through the doubt
That soon would turn into the price
Of what a word will be worth
When tomorrow comes
To be and we are left
Standing on our own
And seeing what is real...
The answer cannot be found
In the writing of others
Or the words of a trained mind
In a precious world of memories
We find ourselves confined
Claws so razor sharp
Ripping at the spirit
Promises a potential to hurt
Is anything real?
When forever is to be until
Deep inside, in the world of empty words...
No escaping from those haunting
Empty words

That was Empty Words (Death) (R.I.P. Chuck)

Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this cant be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now hes gone

No one but me can save myself, but its too late
Now I cant think, think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye

That was Fade to Black (Metallica) (R.I.P. Cliff)

Not sure if anyone cares if i bring this thread back out! I'm sorry if it wasn't a good idea.
I somehow managed to forget about it!


Flaw - Out of Whack

maybe nobody told you about this life
maybe nobody answered your questions why
simple revelations they come in time
those liars told us things would all be fine
born out of whack give him something possible
you thought it would've mattered
not likely to change things we've come too far
where innocent young kids are put behind bars
but it's an easy decision banished so far
you're not as civil as you think you are
(chorus)
you say we're all born out of whack
well don't act so surprised how there's been
a lot going on
since you realized that we're all just kids trying
to get along
so answer one thing
are you gonna stay inside. are you gonna stay
inside of our minds?
are we all born wrong?

In Dark Places

Waves pound the gloomy shores, I watch them roll
across my feet so warm
I know she's waiting there for me

In ancient rhymes she whispers in the wind
a strange and haunting melody
As it fills the silence, I feel the shivers cold
embrace my soul

From the deep she beckons me
promising eternity
In a world where nothing's real
beyond this realm of light and dreams

You, mystic moon it's you who rules the night
breathing life into my dreams
I see your face in nightmares shining bright

So, it's farewell to you my sunlit world
so full of hate and misery
You see I just can't take it anymore

From my sleep you beckon me
promising eternity
In your world of mystery
to your realm of harmony

In dark places

In dark places we will be
forever beyond the light
In dark places we will be free
from the pain that fills our lives

Through arching moonbeams of light we glide
in bending shadows of warm starlight
Angels of colors light the night as they fly
transcending into the electric sky

In dark places

In dark places we will be
forever beyond the light
In dark places we will be free
from the pain that fills our lives

In dark places we will be
forever beyond the light
In dark places we will see
worlds we've always dreamed

-Crimson Glory-

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,

You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,

May you never take one single breath for granted,

God forbid love ever leaves you empty handed,

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,

Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,

Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance....

I hope you dance,

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,

Never settle for the path of least resistance

Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking,

Loving might be a mistake but it's worth making

Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter

When you come close to selling out reconsider

Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance...



Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,

Tell me who wants to look back on their years

and wonder where those years have gone.

I hope you dance,

I hope you dance...


Ronan Keating

If I was Your Vampire-
Marilyn Manson


6 a.m. Christmas morning.
No shadows,
no reflections here.
Lying cheek to cheek
in your cold embrace.

So soft and so tragic
as a slaughterhouse.
You press the knife
against your heart.

And say,
"I love you, so much you must kill me now."

I love you
so much
you must kill me now.

If I was your vampire,
certain as the moon,
instead of killing time,
we'll have each other
until the sun.
If I was your vampire,
death waits for no one.
Hold my hands
across your face,
because I think
our time has come.

Digging your smile apart
with my spade tongue.
The hole is where the heart is.
We built this tomb together,
and I won't fill it alone.
Beyond the pale
everything is black
no turning back.

If I was your vampire,
certain as the moon,
instead of killing time,
we'll have each other
until the sun.
If I was your vampire,
death waits for no one.
Hold my hands
across your face,
because I think
our time has come.

Blood-stained sheets
in the shape of your heart,
this is where it starts...
Blood-stained sheets
in the shape of your heart,
this is where it starts.
This is where it will end.
Here comes the moon again.

6:19 and I know I'm ready
Drive me off the mountain.
You'll burn,
I'll eat your ashes.
The impossible wheels seducing
our corpse.

If I was your vampire,
certain as the moon,
instead of killing time,
we'll have each other
until the sun.
If I was your vampire,
death waits for no one.
Hold my hands
across your face,
because I think
our time has come.

Beyond the pale
everything is black
no turning back.
Beyond the pale
everything is black
no turning back.

This is where it starts.
This is where it will end.
Here comes the moon again.

Here comes the moon again

Here comes the moon again

Colorblind ~Counting Crows


I am colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready

I am taffy stuck and tongue tied
Stutter shook and uptight
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am fine

I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded and unfolded and unfolding
I am.....colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I...am...fine

(god the music is so hauntingly beautiful)

Bjork All Is Full of Love

you'll be given love
you'll be taken care of
you'll be given love
you have to trust it

maybe not from the sources
you have poured yours
maybe not from the directions
you are staring at

trust your head around
it's all around you
all is full of love
all around you

all is full of love
you just aint receiving
all is full of love
your phone is off the hook
all is full of love
your doors are all shut
all is full of love!

all is full of love
all is full of love
all is full of love
all is full of love
all is full of love

This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race


I am an arms dealer
Fitting you with weapons in the form of words
And don't really care which side wins
As long as the room keeps singing
That's just the business I'm in

This ain't a scene, it's an arms race
This ain't a scene, it's an arms race
This ain't a scene, it's an arms race
I'm not a shoulder to cry on
But, I digress

I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate oh-so intricate

I wrote the gospel on giving up
(You look pretty sinking)
But the real bombshells have already sunk
(Prima-donnas of the gutter)
At night we're painting your trash gold while you sleep
Crashing not like hips or cars,
No, more like parties

This ain't a scene, it's an arms race
This ain't a scene, it's an arms race
This ain't a scene, it's an arms race
Bandwagon's full
Please, catch another

I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate oh-so intricate

All the boys who the dance floor didn't love
And all the girls whose lips couldn't move fast enough
Sing, until your lungs give out

This ain't a scene, it's an arms race
This ain't a scene, it's an arms race
(Now you)
This ain't a Scene, it's an arms race
(Wear out the groove)
This ain't a Scene, it's an arms race
(Sing out loud)
This ain't a Scene, it's an arms race
(Oh, oh)
This ain't a Scene, it's an arms race

I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate oh-so intricate

Lizzy Borden

Phantoms


Strangers in the night
in the darkness there
hiding in the unlit
I know she's here, I know she's near...

lovers at first sight
but I've never seen her face
she comes the stroke of midnight
to pray
pray my soul to wake

She keeps calling my name
I can feel her near
I keep hearing my name
whispered breathless

Strangers in the night
a softly whispered stare
the smell of sweet perfume
sent in the air with lusting care

she comes for what she needs
she is my wildest dreams
her sad wings against my body brush
I am her human touch

phantoms, come stay with me
phantoms of the night
phantoms, come sing me a dream
phantoms of the night

Wishing Well

Throw me a penny and I'll make you a dream
You find that life's not always what it seems, no no
Then think of a rainbow and I'll make it come real
Roll me, I'm a never ending wheel

I'll give you a star
so you know just where you are
Don't you know that I might be
your wishing well
your wishing well

Look in the water, tell me what do you see
Reflections of the love you gave to me
Love isn't money, it's not something you buy
So let me fill myself with tears you cry, why?

Time is a never ending journey
Love is a never ending smile
Give me a sign to build a dream on
Dream on...

Yeah, Throw me a penny and I'll make you a dream
You find that life's not always what it seems, no no
Love isn't money, it's not something you buy
So let me fill myself with tears you cry

I'll give you a star
so you know just where you are
Someday, some way, you'll feel the things I say
Dream for a while
of the things that make you smile
'Cause you know
don't you know
oh, you know
that I'm your wishing well
your wishing well
your wishing well
I wish you well
I'm your wishing well



Black Sabbath

Understand that you're holding a bomb in your hands
Take control
Hand in hand with yourself from now on
Take this advice
Aim to the sky
Aim to the skies above

Show me what you're made of
I'm waiting for the answer
Tell me what you're afraid of
Show me what you're made of

I call out in my sleep
I can't reach you and it's killing me
I call out in my sleep

The sun is gone
Days go on like a storm in the sea
And the shore
Is the loneliest place you can be
Stay dry instead
A moment ahead
Aim to the skies above

Show me what you're made of
I'm waiting for the answer
Tell me what you're afraid of
Show me what you're made of

I call out in my sleep
I can't reach you and it's killing me
I call out in my sleep

You say that you are not the same kid
The one who used to be the weeper
You say it's something deeper
Something that you could not tame
Something that would wake the sleeper
You say, you say

I call out in my sleep
I can't reach you and it's killing me

I call out in my sleep
I can't reach you and it's killing me

Call out, I can't reach you
Calling out, reaching out

-The Rasmus: Smash

She ~Elvis Costello

She
May be the face I can't forget.
A trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay.
She may be the song that summer sings.
May be the chill that autumn brings.
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day.

She
May be the beauty or the beast.
May be the famine or the feast.
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell.
She may be the mirror of my dreams.
A smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell

She who always seems so happy in a crowd.
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry.
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past.
That I'll remember till the day I die

She
May be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough and ready years
Me I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is

She, she, she

Of a Broken Heart - ZWAN


if only i die
just once in my life
if only to try
to take a guess, to be the best
a feeling i hide
that runs this world, that keeps us alive
i want you to climb with me

until i die of a broken heart
a broken heart
until i die of a broken heart
a broken heart
until i die

the heart of a child
is in your hands now
so let's see you smile
'cause i'm not impressed with your loneliness
and it's been a while
since you forgave all your changes made
so let's count the miles together

until i die of a broken heart
a broken heart
until i die of a broken heart
a broken heart
until i die of a broken heart
a broken heart
until i die

if only i die
just once in my life
if only to try together

What Your Soul Sings ~Massive Attack


Don't be afraid
Open your mouth and say
Say what your soul sings to you

Your mind can never change
Unless you ask it to
Lovingly re-arrange
The thoughts that make you blue
The things that bring you down
Only do harm to you
And so make your choice joy
The joy belongs to you

And when you do
You'll find the one you love is you
You'll find you
Love you

Don't be ashamed no
To open your heart and pray
Say what your soul sings to you

So no longer pretend
That you can't feel it near
That tickle on your hand
That tingle in your ear
Oh ask it anything
Because it loves you dear
It's your most precious king
If only you could hear

And when you do
You'll find the one you need is you
You'll find you
Love you

POD

BOOM


I never knew that a kid like me
Could take his mic around the world and flash the big S.D.
And rock the masses, from Madrid to Calabassas
Tijuana, Mexico, bootleg demos in Tokyo
They know me though, 'cause I be puttin' in work
Commit my life to rebirth, well respected, 'cause that's my word
I'm sure you heard, about a new sound going around
She might have left my hood, but she was born in my town

We rep. the South, so what you talking about
I'm not running off my mouth, I know this without a doubt
'Cause if you know these streets, then these streets know you
When it's time to handle business, then you know what to do
Me and my crew, we stay true, old skool or new
Many were called, but the chosen are few
We rise to the top, what you want? Just in case you forgot
Rush the stage, grab my mic, show me what you got


You didn't know, thought we was new on the scene
Well, it's alright! It's alright!
I know you know, I see you smiling at me
Well, it's alright! It's alright!


Boom! Here comes the Boom!
Ready or not, here comes the boys from the South
Boom! Here comes the Boom!
How you like me now?


Is that all you got?
I'll take your best shot

Have you heard the news? The dogs are dead.

Kill me Sarah...kill me again with love....

Where Do The Children Play? Cat Stevens


"Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes.
Or taking a ride on a cosmic train.
Switch on summer from a slot machine.
Yes, get what you want to if you want, 'cause you can get anything.

I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass.
For your lorry loads pumping petrol gas.
And you make them long, and you make them tough.
But they just go on and on, and it seems that you can't get off.

(Oh, I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

Well you've cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air.
But will you keep on building higher
'til there's no more room up there?
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?

I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?"

(Plus...just about anything from Cat.)

Daphne Descends - Smashing Pumpkins

With the sugar sickness
you spy the kidnap kid
who kids you to oblivion

it's the perfect hassle
for the perfumed kiss
he makes you miss him more than home

you love him
you love him more than this
you love him
and you cannot, you can't resist

you love him
you love him for yourself
you love him
and no one, no one else

past sidewalk ashes
a last lovers arc
you come apart to intertwine

it was all so simple
as you watched him move
across the darkness in your room

you love him
you love him for yourself
you love him
and no one, no one else

and to the winding vines
the pretty boys dive
and thru the pinhole stars
into the shadow mind

will you lose him then
on some gentle dawn
this boy is here and gone

you love him
you love him for yourself
you love him
and no one, no one else

you love him
you love him more than this
you love him
and you cannot, you can't resist

you love him

PANDORA by PARKWAY DRIVE

The daylight's gone.
The empty streets echo our past and the days that once were so beautiful.
Before now.
Before us.
So save yourself.
'Cause all dreams are gone.
And all hope has faded.
And as the sunlight fails i watch this world slip away.
And we smiled as we betrayed ourselfes.
And a clear sky is only a distant memory.
Our worst intentions carried away on the evening breathe.
Everything we lived for draws our final thought around our necks.

Your face lies still.
I can't see your breath and it's freezing my blood until the end.

One more time one more line.
What is this hell.
Reminisce to the beginning of everything.
But the irony alone would kill me.
Ten thousand hearts set to silence for the choice of one.

End it all with the touch of a switch and i can see our lives burn befrore my eyes.

'Cause all dreams are gone.
And all hope has faded.
And as the sunlight fails i watch this world slip away.

Your face lies still.
I can't see your breath and its freezing my blod until the end.

(INSERT BREAKDOWN HERE)

Ten thousand hearts set to silence for the choice of one.

End it all with the touch of a switch and i can see our lives burn.
I can see our lives.
I can see our lives burn.

Your face lies still.
I can't see your breath and it's freezing my blood until the end.
As we just let it slip away.

Breaking Benjamin

"Until The End"

So clever,
Whatever,
I'm done with these endeavors.
Alone I walk the winding way.
(Here I stay)
It's over,
No longer,
I feel it growing stronger.
I'll live to die another day,
Until I fade away.

[Chorus:]
Why give up, why give in?
It's not enough, it never is.
So I will go on until the end.
We've become desolate.
It's not enough, it never is.
But I will go on until the end.

Surround me,
It's easy
To fall apart completely.
I feel you creeping up again.
(In my head)
It's over,
No longer,
I feel it growing colder.
I knew this day would come to end,
So let this life begin.

[Chorus]

I've lost my way.
I've lost my way, but I will go on until the end.

Living is hard enough
Without you messing up.

[Chorus]

I've lost my way.
I've lost my way, but I will go on until the end.

U-uh, u-uh

The final fight I'll win,
But I will go on until the end.

"static"

day by day
what can i say
i can't stay here no more
i say goodnight by the dawn's early light
and i stumble out the door

and i'll be just another stranger
who knows you're name
and you'll be just a little baby
whos not to blame

static remains
stations too proud to be changed

all my life i meant to throw the dice
and i dropped them on the floor
i bent to pick them up and by the time i'd gotten up
you staggered out the door

and you'll be just another stranger
who knows my name
and i'll be just a little baby
whos not to blame

home out of range
stations too proud to be changed

here and there my kingdom of despair
you know i'd rather be alone
i turned to look but the sound was all it took
to remove me from my throne

and you'll be just another stranger
who knows my name
and i'll be just a little baby
whos not to blame

static remains
stations too proud to be changed

"balloon"

goodbye, bye my baby
now theres no one can save me
you just keep on ascending
while i sleep through the ending

through the ending
through the ending
through the ending
through the ending

theres a balloon that i let go of
i'll see you soon i miss you so love
i knew you'd rise but not this far
i search the skies for where you are

for where you are
for where you are
for where you are
for where you are

if you're gonna play with fire
then expect to lose some games
most of all i feel this fall
will land me in the flames
and if it does i wonder
was it all for nothing then?
but if i had never tried
how could i try again?

oh, again

i knew you'd raise but not this far
i search you're eyes for where you are
did i have to cheat to find the answer?
now there is only heat where you're hands were

where you're hands were
where you're hands were
where you're hands were
where you're hands were

Medellia Of The Gray Skies - Smashing Pumpkins


You're an empty promise
You're an easy chair
You're the gods forces
Struck down somewhere

You're a secret noticed
You're a mystery sky
You're a wish floating
Up to the night

Medellia of my eyes
You're the emptiness of I
You're the reason that I write
And if you say you will
I would love you still

And if I could
I'd throw away this world
I'd dress you all in pearls
I'd give you what you wanted

You're all I notice
In a crowded room
Your vacant motives
Unmoved, revealed

Medellia of my eyes
You're the emptiness of I
You're the reason that I drive
And if you say you will
I would love you still

And if I just could
Be anything for you
Just anyone at all
Anything that mattered, washed out

You're the silly reasons
In a goldfish laugh
You're the ageless seasons
At rest, at last

Lamb of god - walk with me in hell


Pray for blood
Pray for the cleansing
Pray for the flood
Pray for the end of this nightmare
This lie of a life can as quickly as it came dissolve

We seek only reprieve
And welcome the darkness
The myth of a meaning, so lost and forgotten

Take hold of my hand
For you are no longer alone
Walk with me in hell

Pray for solace
Pray for resolve
Pray for a savior
Pray for deliverance
Some kind of purpose, a glimpse of a light in this void of existence

Oh...
Now witness the end of an age
Hope dies in hands of believers
Who seek the truth in the liar's eyes

Take hold of my hand
For you are no longer alone
Walk with me in hell

Walk with me in hell
Walk with me in hell
Walk with me in hell
Walk with me in hell
Walk with me in hell

Take hold of my hand
For you are no longer alone
Walk with me in hell

Walk with me in hell
Walk with me in hell

You're never alone
You're never alone
You're never alone

You're never alone
You're never alone
Walk with me in hell

Don't Let Go - The Rasmus.

Don't let go...don't let go...don't let go

Holding my breath as i walk to your garden
Everything seemed so abandoned
Roses have grown just as high as a mountain
Fireflies glow in the dark

Dont let go now (don't let go)
Somebody is lying

Everyone came to the final revival
It's been a year since we've been here
The spell has been cast to welcome the arrival
The phantom of silence is near

Dont let go now (don't let go)
The garden is dying
These wounds wont heal (don't let go)
Somebody is lying

Break the spell of emptiness
And thousand year of loneliness
Bless the path of righteousness
And walk the trails of holiness
The garden is dying
Somebody is lying

Dont let go now (don't let go)
The garden is dying
These wounds wont heal (don't let go)
Somebody is lying [2x]

Ohhh oh oh ohhhhh
The garden is dying
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Somebody is lying

Ah ahahahaha
Once of us is lying
Ah ah ah ah

Wound - Smashing Pumpkins

There you are
as you always were
in bathing light
and naked blur
you're a part of me
eternal one
my grand design
and setting sun

if you wait, i will wait
taste, i will taste
if you love, i will love
run, i will run
to my last breath

last night i turned around and thought i saw myself turning
inside the strangest dream of life unloved and cities burning

awake in my arms
you cry unharmed
our age of the hours
when they still devour all

so take it all
i doubt if we
will know it's gone
cause we've been here
since time began
begged god awake
and make these plans

wound opens
reveal this broken man
and soon there's notions
of blood on his hands

if you wait, i will wait
taste, i will taste
if you love, i will love
run, i will run
to my last breath

last night i turned around, i thought i saw myself turning
last night i turned around and thought i watched the world ending
inside the crushing i felt a pang, the tide was turning

destroyed in the wake
the jealous ingrates
will tear this world down
to spite god above
with his own love
with his own love
if you wait
if you wait

if you wait, i will wait
taste, i will taste
if you love, i will love
run, i will run
to my last breath

"Many Faces"

Will it take some time, to release the inner apathy
Enabled inside, and it looks like you're the enemy

Things are never what they seem, can't explain the reasons why
The illusions that we see, the many faces of our lives
When you find it hard to breathe, never keep it all inside
Which one should I be, the many faces of our lives

Irrelevant minds, you become a little more serious
Still passing me by, you should not be, rightly, dear to us

[Chorus]

If you feel that the timing is all wrong
Here's the key to remove yourself from harm
Maybe then you will live again, live again

[Chorus]

I'm afraid we're in too deep, things are never what they seem
[repeat]
I'm afraid we're just too deep to come out okay
I'm afraid we're just too deep to come out okay
Now

>>Always Tomorrow ~Gloria Estefan

I've been alone inside myself, far too long
Never really wanted it that way, but I let it happen
If I could do it all again, my life would be infinitely better than before
I wouldnt waste a moment
Make time for laughing with my friends
Make love, make music, make amends
Try to make a difference, try to love, try to understand
Instead of just giving up, Id use the power at my command

Thats why theres always tomorrow, to start over again
Things will never stay the same, the only one sure thing is change.
Thats why theres always tommorow

I guess it took a little time, for me to see
The reason I was born into this world,
And what I'd have to go through
For I've finially realized, that I could beinfinitely better than before, defintely stronger
Ill face whatever comes my way, savor each moment of the day,
Love as many people as I can along the way
Help someone who's given up, if its just to raise my eyes and pray


Before your last setting sun
And everything your heart has longed for
Has yet to be (one)
Yes theres always tomorrow though people come and they go
But if you've brought some love to their lives
Then you've got something to show

A song written during the great depression by the great blues musician
Skip James - Hard Time Killin' Floor

Hard time here and everywhere you go
Times is harder than ever been before

And the people are driftin' from door to door
Can't find no heaven, I don't care where they go

Hear me tell you people, just before I go
These hard times will kill you just dry long so

Well, you hear me singin' my lonesome song
These hard times can last us so very long

If I ever get off this killin' floor
I'll never get down this low no more
No-no, no-no, I'll never get down this low no more

And you say you had money, you better be sure
'Cause these hard times will drive you from door to door

Sing this song and I ain't gonna sing no more
Sing this song and I ain't gonna sing no more
These hard times will drive you from door to door

Hummer by The Smashing Pumpkins


Faith lies in
The ways of sin
I chased the charmed
But I don't want them anymore

And in their eyes I was alive
A fool's disguise
Take me away from you

Shame my tongue
Fat with promise all along
But when I woke up from that sleep
I was happier than I'd ever been

When you decide
That your life is a prize
Renew and revive
It's alright honey
It's alright, yeah

Happiness will make you wonder
Will I feel OK?
It scares the disenchanted
Far away

Yeah I want something new
But what am I supposed to do about you
Yeah I love you, it's true

Life's a bummer
When you're a hummer
Life's a drag

Ask yourself a question
Anyone but me
I ain't free

Ask yourself a question
Anyone but me
I ain't free

Do you feel
Love is real?

I'm posting these lyrics in an honest effort to stop exuding smut!

just kidding

The last time I posted in this thread, the mods jumped me, which means the lyrics to the song that really gets me right now are out (it is 'Evidence' by Marilyn Manson, if anyone is wondering). Here are some paler substitutes.


'Zero' -- Smashing Pumpkins


My reflection, dirty mirror
There's no connection to myself
I'm your lover, I'm your zero
I'm in the face of your dreams of glass
So save your prayers
For when we're really gonna need'em
Throw out your cares and fly
Wanna go for a ride?

She's the one for me
She's all I really need
Cause she's the one for me
Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness
And cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me
Intoxicated with the madness, I'm in love with my sadness
Bulls*** fakers, enchanted kingdoms
The fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth
I never let on, that I was on a sinking ship
I never let on that I was down
You blame yourself, for what you can't ignore
You blame yourself for wanting more
She's the one for me
She's all I really need
She's the one for me
She's my one and only
****

'Ashes to Ashes' -- David Bowie


Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song
I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true

They got a message from the Action Man
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed to love
Sordid details following"

The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I
Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing

CHORUS
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"
One flash of light but no smoking pistol

I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now

CHORUS

REPEAT
My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom

"Putting Holes in Happiness" -- Marilyn Manson


The sky was blonde like her
It was a day to take the child
Out back and shoot it
I should have buried all my dead
Up in her cemetery head
She had dirty word witchcraft
I was in the deep end of her skin

Then, it seemed like a one car wreck
But I knew it was a horrid tragedy
Ways to make the tiny satisfaction disappear

Blow out the candles
On all my frankensteins
At least my death wish will come true
You will taste like Valentine’s
We cry
You’re like a birthday
I should have picked the photograph
It lasted longer than you

Putting holes in happiness
We’ll paint the future black
If it needs any color
My death sentence is a story
Who’ll be digging when you finally let me die?
The romance of your assassination
If you’re Bonnie, I’ll be your Clyde
But the grass is greener here
And I can see all of your snakes
You wear your ruins well
Please run away with me to hell

Blow out the candles
On all my frankensteins
At least my death wish will come true
You will taste like Valentine’s
We cry
You’re like a birthday
I should have picked the photograph
It lasted longer than you
********

A note on the bold part of the last one. My, soon to be ex-wife and I were married on Valentine's Day 2003. She took off the day this song showed up on filesharing networks. Creepy, but still cool as hell.

Reach ~Caleigh Peters


Sometimes it seems like you’re falling
Falling out of the sky
Sometimes it feels like you’re slipping
And running out of time
And that’s when you’ve gotta throw it all away
All of the things that people say
And all of the doubts that fill your mind
Don’t belong there

Whatever you do, you’ll never be wrong
As long as you reach for it
When you reach for it, nothings to far
And its never to long, as long as you reach for it
You can dream on it, everywhere it's there

Sometimes I can be stupid
I can get out of line
But most times you know what I’m doing
Its not like some big surprise
What I'm trying to say is
All of the doubts that fill your mind
don’t belong there.

Whatever you do, you’ll never be wrong
As long as you reach for it
When you reach for it, nothings to far
And its never to long, as long as you reach for it
You can dream on it, everywhere

There’s so much distance
Between what you want and what you’ve got
But if you really want it - it's your life
So you gotta try
You’ve gotta fly

Whatever you do, you’ll never be wrong
You can reach for it
You can reach for it

Its never to far and its never to long
As long as you reach for it.
You can dream on it, it's everywhere
Everywhere
Everywhere
Everywhere

Darkness by Disturbed

Don't turn away
I pray you've heard
The words I've spoken
Dare to believe
Over one last time
Then I'll let the

Darkness cover me
Deny everything
Slowly walk away
To breathe again
On my own

Carry me away
I need your strength
To get me through this
Dare to believe
Over one last time
Then I'll let the

Darkness cover me
Deny everything
Slowly walk away
To breathe again
On my own


Beautiful song. This haunting melody will stay with you for a while.

I also attached a video that I found. The video is from the movie Queen of The Damned.

Vampires are always cool.

But you already know that

Mistral Wind ~Heart

No wind when I took the watch
My ship was still and waitin'
I lay on that mirrored sky
A restless sail or waitin'
I closed my eyes said the
Words of will for the gentle
Breathin' that moves the seas
Make my sails fill

Whisper waves cloud the glass
Awake at last like a lover
It rushed around the talkin' sweet
Roll over, roll over, roll over
And in my ear he blew his name
It sound so strange but I heard it plain
Mistral Mistral wind

I have always held the wheel but
I let the wind steal my power
Spin me 'round lose my course
Nights run be like hours
Well, it would show me the way
To the deepest mountains
Too high and beautiful to be
Mistral, mistral wind

All the hours on the watch
I wait for that breeze to move me
And blow me back to that place
Magic space all through me
And I sigh your name
Across the empty water
You made a crazy dreamer out of me
Mistral, mistral, mistral, mistral,
Mistral, mistral


My favorite song, ever!!!

I had an OBE with this one.
Yup, a good one.

Heart Shaped Glasses, by MM


She reminds me of
the one in school
when I was cutting
she was dressed in white
and I couldn't take my eyes off her
but that's not what I took off that night

And she'll never cover up
what we did
with her dress
no

she said
"kiss me, it will heal
but it won't forget.
kiss me, it will heal
but it won't forget."


And I don't mind you
keeping me
on pins and needles.
If I could stick to you
and you could
stick me too.

Don't break, don't break
my heart
and I won't break your
heart-shaped glasses

Little girl, little girl
you should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high
making me low
That blue is getting me high
making me low


She reminds of
the one I knew
that cut up the negatives
of my life
I couldn't take my hands off her
she wouldn't let me be
anywhere but inside

And I don't mind you
keeping me
on pins and needles.
If I could stick to you
and you could
stick me too.

Just
don't break, don't break
my heart
and I won't break your
heart-shaped glasses

Little girl, little girl
you should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high
making me low

And she'll never cover up
what we did
with a dress
no

she said
"kiss me, it will heal
but it won't forget.
kiss me, it will heal
but it won't forget."

And I don't mind you
keeping me
on pins and needles.
If I could stick to you
and you could
stick me too.

Don't break, don't break
my heart
and I won't break your
heart-shaped glasses
Little girl, little girl
you should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high
making me low

Tell me about it. I love this song. And the Cello part fits in so well; something most bands find difficult to achieve.

Artist: CHEAP TRICK
Song: Surrender

Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you.
She also told me, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch."
Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that's going round.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Father says, "Your mother's right, she's really up on things."
"Before we married, Mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines."
Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war.
But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Ev'ry time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch.
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Away.
Away.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Song: Black Hole Sun

In my eyes
Indisposed
In disguise
As no one knows
Hides the face
Lies the snake
The sun
In my disgrace
Boiling heat
Summer stench
neath the black
The sky looks dead
Call my name
Through the cream
And Ill hear you
Scream again

Black hole sun
Wont you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Wont you come
Wont you come

Stuttering
Cold and damp
Steal the warm wind
Tired friend
Times are gone
For honest men
And sometimes
Far too long
For snakes
In my shoes
A walking sleep
And my youth
I pray to keep
Heaven send
Hell away
No one sings
Like you
Anymore

Hang my head
Drown my fear
Till you all just
Disappear

Artist: Trivium
Song: And Sadness Will Sear

Shepherd is chased by the wolves
Those who live by intolerance and hate
For what they couldnt understand
Blinded and vicious are the beasts
Needing and ripping at a beautiful human
He did nothing more than be himself

Tied to the fences they break you
And sadness will sear
Cold is the wind that will freeze you
And Sadness will sear

Scarecrow is left crucified
Left freezing, bleeding, tired of wondering why
But just couldn't understand
Is the preachers and the teachers
You are man's close-minded creatures
Trying to teach us to hate
That which is different

Tied to the fences they break you
And sadness will sear
Cold is the wind that will freeze you
And Sadness will sear

It's 12:53 AM, October 12th
When the scarecrow died
A victim of society's cruelty

It's 12:53 AM, October 12th
When the shepherd died
The candle's light will alight your departure

Tied to the fences they break you
And sadness will sear
Cold is the wind that will freeze you
And Sadness will sear

Tied to the fences they break you
And sadness will sear
Cold is the wind that will freeze you
And Sadness will sear

This song is about a boy Matthew Shepard who was beaten up, tied to a fence, and left to die because he was gay. 12:53 AM October 12th was his official time of death. This song has helped me not to judge people because they are different.

"Rest" by Saliva



Look at me, my depth perception must be off again
Cause this hurts deeper than I thought it did
It has not healed with time
It just shot down my spine
You look so beautiful tonight
Remind me how you laid us down
And gently smiled before you destroyed my life

Would you find it in your heart?
To make this go away
And let me rest in pieces
Would you find it in your heart?
To make it go away
And let me rest in pieces

Look at me, my depth perception must be off again
You got much closer than I thought you did
I'm in your reach
You held me in your hands

But could you find it in your heart?
To make this go away
And let me rest in pieces
Would you find it in your heart?
To make it go away
And let me rest in pieces

Song: 18th Floor Balcony, Artist: Blue October


I close my eyes and I smile
Knowing that everything is alright
To the core
So close that door
Is this happening?
My breathe is on your hair
I'm unaware
That you opened the blinds and let the city in
God, you held my hand
And we stand
Just taking in everything.

And I knew it from the start
So my arms are open wide
Your head is on my stomach
And we're trying so hard not to fall asleep

But Here we are
On this 18th floor balcony...
we're both flying away.

So we talk about moms and dads
About family pasts
Just getting to know where we came from
Our hearts were on display
For all to see
I can't believe this is happening to me.
I raised my hand as if to show you that I was yours
That I was so yours for the taking
I'm so yours for the taking
Thats when I felt the wind pick up
I grabbed the rail while choking up
These words to say and then you kissed me...
I knew it from the start
My arms are open wide
And your head is on my stomach
And we're trying so hard not to fall asleep

Here we are
On this 18th floor balcony...
we're both flying away.

And I'll try to sleep
to keep you in my dreams
'Til I can bring you home with me
I'll try to sleep
And when I do I'll keep you in my... dreams

I knew it from the start
So my arms are open wide
And your head is on my stomach
And we're trying so hard not to fall sleep
So here we are
On this 18th floor balcony

I knew it from the start
So my arms are open wide
And your head is on my stomach
We're not going to sleep
Here we are on this 18th floor balcony
we're both..
flying away.

I think this speaks for itself. Haha. I actually heard this song for the first time the night I realized how deep my feelings are for someone very close to me...now if I could only get her to listen to it....

GODSMACK

"Whatever"

And I wonder day to day
I don't like you anyway.
I don't need your sh** today.
You're pathetic in your own way.

I feel for you
(better f***in go away)
I will behave
Better f***in go away!
I'm doing the best I ever did,
I'm doing the best that I can,
I'm doing the best I ever did.

I don't need to fantasize
You are my pet all the time.
I don't mind if you go blind.
You get what you get
Until you through with my life.

I feel for you.
(better f***in go away)
I will behave.
You better go away. [x2]

I'm doing the best I ever did,
I'm doing the best that I can,
I'm doing the best I ever did.
Now go away [x2]

I'm doing the best I ever did.
(go away)
I'm doing the best that I can.
(go away) [x2]

I'm doing the best I ever did,
I'm doing the best that I can,
I'm doing the best I ever did.
Now go away!

I'm doing the best I ever did,
I'm doing the best that I can,
I'm doing the best I ever did.
Now go away [x2]

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

I'm doing the best I ever did.
(go away)
I'm doing the best that I can.

Ka-boom Ka-boom by Marilyn Manson

We're a death-marching band
Peter Pan off the wagon
Entertain but never trust anyone sober
We're tasteless but taste good
My (S)top Hat's top hat(ed)
Unsafe cheerleaders with
Porn poms and pipe bombs

I won't do it with you
I'll do it to you
I hope this hook gets caught in your mouth
I won't do it with you
I'll do it to you
Don't Say No
Just Say Now

I like a big car, cause
I'm a big star
I make a big rock and roll hits
I'd like to love you
but my heart is a sore
I am, I am, I am so yours

Ka-boom, ka-boom
Ka-boom, ka-boom
Ka-boom, ka-boom
I'd like to la la la la love you
Ka-boom, ka-boom
Ka-boom, ka-boom
Ka-boom, ka-boom
I'd like to la la la la love you

I'm the leader of the club
And I've shrugged off my mouse ears
We fly No-Class Dumbo jets
And drive harcore-vettes
We fight war with drugs
And our sex always formal
We wear lawsuits when
We get high high high

I won't do it with you
I'll do it to you
I hope this hook gets caught in your mouth
I won't do it with you
I'll do it to you
Don't Say No
Just Say Now

I like a big car, cause
I'm a big star
I make a big rock and roll hits
I'd like to love you
but my heart is a sore
I am, I am, I am so yours

Ka-boom, ka-boom
Ka-boom, ka-boom
Ka-boom, ka-boom
I'd like to la la la la love you
Ka-boom, ka-boom
Ka-boom, ka-boom
Ka-boom, ka-boom
I'd like to la la la la love you

"Inhale, exhale, let's all hail"
It's a depraved new world
"Inhale, exhale, let's all hail"
It's a depraved new world
After all

I like a big car, cause
I'm a big star
I make a big rock and roll hits
I'd like to love you
but my heart is a sore
I am, I am, I am so yours

I am a big car and
I'm a strip bar
You call it fake,
I call it, "good as it gets."
Nothing in this world is for real
Except you are for me and
I am so yours
Ka-boom ka-boom

Lily Allen
Everything's Just Wonderful

Do you think, everything, everyone, is going mental,
It seems to me that it's spiraling outta control and it's inevitable,
Now don't you think,
This time is yours, this time is mine,
Its temperamental,
It seems to me, we're on all fours,
Crawling on our knees,
Someone help us please

Oh Jesus Christ almighty,
Do I feel alright? No not slightly,
I wanna get a flat I know I can't afford it,
It's just the bureaucrats who won't give me a mortgage,
Well it's very funny cos I got your ****ing money,
And I'm never gonna get it just because of my bad credit
Oh well I guess I mustn't grumble,
I suppose that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, I'm fine,
Everything's just wonderful,
I'm having the time of my life.

Don't you want something else,
Something new, than what we've got here,
And don't you feel it's all the same,
Some sick game and it's not insincere,
I wish I could change the ways of the world,
Make it a nice place
Until that day, I guess we stay,
Doing what we do
Screwing who we screw

Why can't I sleep at night,
Don't say it's gonna be alright,
I wanna be able to eat spaghetti bolognaise,
and not feel bad about it for days and days and days.
In the magazines they talk about weight loss,
If I buy those jeans I can look like Kate Moss,
Oh no it's not the life I chose,
But I guess that's the way that things go,

[Chorus x2]

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba [etc.]

Oh Jesus Christ almighty,
Do I feel alright? No not slightly,
I wanna get a flat I know I can't afford it,
It's just the bureaucrats who won't give me a mortgage,
Well it's very funny cos I got your ****ing money,
And I'm never gonna get it just because of my bad credit
Oh well I guess I mustn't grumble,
I suppose that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

[Chorus x2]

Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones

Well he came home from the war
with a party in his head
and modified Brougham DeVille
and a pair of legs that opened up
like butterfly wings
and a mad dog that wouldn't
sit still
he went and took up with a Salvation Army
Band girl
who played dirty water
on a swordfishtrombone
he went to sleep at the bottom of
Tenkiller lake
and he said "gee, but it's
great to be home."

Well he came home from the war
with a party in his head
and an idea for a fireworks display
and he knew that he'd be ready with
a stainless steel machete
and a half a pint of Ballentine's
each day
and he holed up in room above a hardware store
cryin' nothing there but Hollywood tears
and he put a spell on some
poor little Crutchfield girl
and stayed like that for 27 years

Well he packed up all his
expectations he lit out for California
with a flyswatter banjo on his knee
with a lucky tiger in his angel hair
and benzedrine for getting there
they found him in a eucalyptus tree
lieutenant got him a canary bird
and shaked her head with every word
and Chesterfielded moonbeams in a song
and he got 20 years for lovin' her
from some Oklahoma governor
said everything this Doughboy
does is wrong

Now some say he's doing
the obituary mambo
and some say he's hanging on the wall
perhaps this yarn's the only thing
that holds this man together
some say he was never here at all

Some say they saw him down in
Birmingham, sleeping in a
boxcar going by
and if you think that you can tell a bigger tale
I swear to God you'd have to tell a lie...

Mine would be from an amazing song by my fav power metal band, Sonata Arctica.

White Pearl, Black Oceans

[Music and lyrics by Tony Kakko]

I was born and raised by the sea, shy yet proud,
Learned to stay away from the crowd
In my home, my lighthouse...
101 steps, round and dound
New Years Eve, one night in the town
Can change one life into eternity...

All I could see, her eyes,
We got caught in the moment, all of the night
Taken beyond all lines,
In silence leaving 'em all behind

She had found the sails, for the following night
The town, for her, was getting way too small
She promised to be mine
Forever, ... for that one night...

Moments, passion, small defeats
Concealed emotions, found in me
"You gave life to a brand new me..."

Crossing the wintry fields,
The first hour of morning light
Warmed by the flame inside,
The lasting memory of the ending night

I never had a chance to stop what hit me...
What broke my bones and mauled me...
After hours of deep, unwilling sleep... in a cold shelter
Fell back in the dark, and the hours of the day passed...

A nightmare awakes me, blinking light!
There's no guide, blind ships in the night
Oh blood red moon, eat away the night

Darkness covers my lonely soul,
No one to feed the dying light...

Good morn', oh dreadful day,
I prayed the moon had lit the sea instead of me...
For the sails of night,
"Please tell me everything's alright..."

My voice in the room broke the silence,
Everybody killed me with their eyes...
What I was to hear made the people cry,
Impossible for me to keep the tears inside

"All on board the White Pearl have died,
Coastal reef have tolled their lives
And you are the light of the night..."

One thing, I remember, before I fell on the ground...
Although I never saw the face,
A name was inked in his arm...

Love can be like poetry of demons, or maybe
God loves complex irony?
The family name stated I had seen before...
Written on her front door...

"Silence in the courthouse!"
A presence in the room, we both could feel
The father of her unborn child and me

All on board the White Pearl have died,
Coastal reef have tolled their lives
While I was the guide light...
Back in my tower, run, run, run
Light is out, I hope to see
Black oceans beneath rise and swallow me

One step will take me back inside, another sees my end
No one can love a man who guarded the light,
(Guarded the light, one faithful night)
Flaming eyes I must confront before I am stated free

Defining innocence is hell, after all that has past...
Building new walls inside my eternal night...
Although they took my heart and dried me up
Sometimes I still bleed...

Show me the way (show me the way)
The light will show me a way on the grisly reefs
Too many dead ends I see
No soul can save me
The respect I lost, the measure of a man...

10 000 steps down, round and round
One night at the town and I'm hell bound
Black oceans beneath come and swallow me
All on the board White Pearl had died,
Coastal reef come claim my life
Black oceans beneath come and swallow me

My little tower, seal my fate
Help me pay back, end their hate
Black oceans beneath come and swallow me
One direction, down, down, down
Pitch black night for my old town
Black oceans beneath shall now swallow me

[SPOKEN:]
I hereby commit the body to the deep,
to be turned into corruption
looking for the resurrection of the body,
when the Sea shall give up her dead
and the life of the world to come, through our Lord,
Amen.
