Recently while listening to "Fire in the Sky", I figured out one of the many lines that has plagued me. Darklyrics.com had the line listed as "a ufo has split the sky", and later changed it to "our right has been denied". They are both close, but I think I have finally figured out what Tagtgren says: "a light has split the sky". Sounds good and makes sense.

I have some other corrections if anyone is interested, most notably to Roswell 47 and Slippin Away. If anyone has any ideas for the chanting in Apocalypse, which darklyrics has as "People decide, lord jesus christ", let me know, because I don't hear it and can't figure anything out. If you think you know any other difficult lyrics from their library, let me know.
 
yeh I'd be interested in both corrections aye, I know slippin away is a horrid transcription!!


I dunno which ones are considered 'difficult' cos I haven't really gone through and looked at em all, but I'd be happy to give my take on any songs

Here is my take on Slippin Away (copy and paste from darklyrics, with major corrections in italics)

Feel every thing is circumstantial
Realise the nonsense of existing
Start to put to an end to this
There is no change for the better anyway

So I'll just slip from a dream
now this dream has begun
Take the tears and the pain
My soul I sell away

Don't tell me

Bury the pain
As I bury this knife in my body
Slowly Slipping Away
To another dimension of virtue

My soul is lifting away in vein
A man greets me from the other side
With dark empty eyes
Here it's my time

So please forgive this heart
And these dreams that we've felt

Don't tell me


That is how I hear it, but there is a few new lines posted on darklyrics that I will have to listen for later. A few of those lines may be from the old darklyrics posting. There are some spots which I am trying to figure out if it is right or wrong, mainly the first line and the final word of the chorus.


Also, heard some new lines on Apocalypse. Open to interpretations.

Six hours gone, six hours blown away
Six hours is lost

I'm so sick of hearing you preach about heaven,
All this bullshit about paradise

People decide, Lord jesus Christ.(???, maybe Here as I,??)

All you try to get in (?), To the end of the rainbow,
But know I'll always be there, With a stab in the back
Have mercy, It's the end of your life.

As my mind slips away,
I see no end for this misery,
The only truth is myself,
I can't go on this way-No.

People decide, Lord jesus christ.
The christians must be stopped,
From spreading all the lies,
The only way to cut her with, a knife!
With a stab in the back.
Have mercy, It's the end, Of your life.

Keep your ears open!
 
here's my take on it, agree with a lot of bits you changed, for lack of a better

Filled with anguish and confusion (always thought that was the first line)
Realize the nonsense of existin'
Start to put to an end to this lost life
There ain't no change for the better

?????????? from a dream (realllly doesn't sound like what you had, but I'm not sure what it is yet)
now this dream has begun
Take the tears and the pain
My soul must slip on

Don't tell me... Bury the pain
As I bury this knife in my body
Slowly slipping away
To another dimension (I'm now, more sure than ever, that 'virtue' isn't there, it's just the 'ensi' echo of dim'ensi'on with the ooh ooh's at the end, I'd have to hear him say 'of virtue' live, to ever think he actually says it)

My soul is drifting away, in vain
A man greets me from the other side
With dark empty eyes
Here it's my time
So please forgive this heart
And these dreams that we've felt

Don't tell me... Bury the pain
As I bury this knife in my body
Slowly slipping away
To another dimension
 
"Filled with anguish and confusion"-- I like that one

Also, I agree with you on the echo on dimension. The line I still have a problem with is "So please forgive this heart" something just doesn't seem right here.

Finally, I was talking to someone else who thinks that the line directly preceeding the chorus is "I'm dying" after the first verse, and then "Dont tell me" after the second verse. This makes more sense with the lines prior. I'm still not sure if I like I'm dying or Don't tell me for the end of the first verse or not.

Are you also familiar with Apocolypse? Or how about Paradox, what do you think of those voices? I have some ideas with various holes, doesn't seem to flow too well though, so something must be wrong, I'm just not sure where.

I'm pretty sure it is 'don't tell me' both times, I mean I haven't clipped both to hear them side-by-side, but the way I read it, that little pre-chorus bit is an incomplete sentence... he's saying like a statement to someone "don't tell me to bury the pain," it's just broken in delivery, so I don't think it would change

I had a quick look at paradox a while back, didnt take a crack at it tho, but I'm keen to if you are. apocolypse I'll have to check out, I like the song but haven't looked specifically at the lyrics before.

It's a bit of a guess, but I reckon it could be

"The only way to gather it, without blood" ('blood' said in a very black metal scream)
 
good job on Slippin' away Seditious...sounds pretty accurate to me...

well good job to everyone :headbang:

did I ever mentionned that Slippin away was the best song Ive heard in my entire life?
 
"The only way to gather it, without blood"

I must admit, that does sound right. Doesn't seem to flow with "a stab in the back" though, but I'm wonding if that line is wrong. I'm not too sure I hear "back" anymore.

Here is my take on Paradox, darklyrics with some mods. Voices italicized, possible lines in parenthesis:

Walkin' into the fire
I'm trying to find my soul there
Can I ever feel the warmth?
I am in need
I hope they find me soon


The voices I hear
are trying to control me
Need to clear my mind
or never survive
Suicide the only solution
Blood is too bold (life is too much?)
for their retribution

I have lost all my beliefs
But now I chase the truth
and it hurts
It is so hard now ??? (out of control?)
This is the only way


Slashing my arms
to let the blood free
Soon to get away from the pain
I have lost all my beliefs
to a world of hypocrisy
Not afraid to die
Just an empty soul
in ??? (cosmos?)

Once I tried
to make a difference
But now I'm chasing the truth
Only the pain I have earned
and deceit runs through you

Look in their eyes
take pride in ???
dwell in emptiness (?)
Can't walk away from here


The voices I hear
are trying to kill me
Soon to get away from the pain
I have lost my belief
to a world of hypocrisy
Not afraid to die
Just an empty soul
in cosmos


Third set of voices is primary interest, fairly lost on that one.
 
it would be great if anyone of you would post the "correct" lyrics of "Fuck U".
thanx in advance

I didn't see anything -major- to correct, but here's my take




Fuck you! I don't give a fuck
what you think of me! (not a question mark)

Who the fuck do you think you are?
To judge me for the things I have done.

What the hell have you done, except sit home and jerk off.
I do whatever I want. Just go fuck yourself!


Fuck the system, 'cause the system sucks
I don't wanna live like you, you fucking asshole
Fuck the system. I don't give a fuck
Why would I live like you? You fucking loser


Why don't you do us all a favor
Just go and kill yourself
Motherfucker!
Put a gun to your head
Pull the fuckin' trigger
Die!

The only way to beat the system
is to kill you
Bring an answer with precision (...maybe "Bring your hands up"???)
Shoot up your mouth

( -- they had "with the system. To shoot at your mouth.")


Fuck the system, the system sucks!
I don't wanna live like you, you fucking asshole!
Fuck the system, I don't give a fuck!
Why would I live like you? You fuckin' loser!


I do whatever I want.
Fuck you, I don't give a fuck
(x2)


Fuck the system, the system sucks!
I don't wanna live like you, you fucking asshole!
Fuck the system, I don't give a fuck!
Why would I live like you? You fuckin' loser!

Fuck the system, the system sucks!
I don't wanna live like you, you fucking asshole!
Fuck the system, I don't give a fuck!
Why would I live like you? Asshole!!
 
For Apocolypse, instead of "People decide, Lord Jesus Christ" I think it's "People decide: 'Lord, be our guide'"

But hell, that song seems impossible to get right. I've gone back and forth countless times with it.

I've been back and forth on it too. Your rendition sounds good to me. I'm still not so sure about "decide" though. What do you think of the opener I suggested?

"Six hours gone, six hours blown away
Six hours is lost"

Makes more sense to me than any other interpetation I've heard, what do you think it is?
 
anyone got a view on Request Denied

here's the darklyrics copypaste...

(It cannot (can no) longer be denied/They can no longer deny)
The government's coverup frights your life (far to long?)
Keep your mouth shut, (of/for) what you have seen
(Or/All) (your/the) body parts (will/were) spread around
For trying to prove the missing time

For those who have seen the terror has begun
Not for the things you've been through
But the things you (know/done)

(It's on an/in an institution)
(Where you will stay for the rest of your life)
There's no therapy, justify the mind
Revealing all that of your soul
There's nothing you try to get treatment for.
REQUEST DENIED!!!

The memories of (the encounters/these hours)
Will never go away
I'm (scared/scarred) for the rest of my life

[chorus]


the second option on the '/' seems right to me... but I dunno why it's not just there on darklyrics as that...
 
@metalpest

Hey. Haven't checked the board in awhile, clearly.

I'm listening to the re-recorded version right now and I'm not feeling your "six hours" lyrics. Hehe. "Six hours gone" sounds ok (but is wrong) but I'm not hearing what follows as "six hours blown away" nor "six hours lost" at all. It does sound like the first part of the second stanza says "I (something) way" So I think Darklyrics are closer there. (I think they say "I saw my own way"?) I hear the second stanza as "I (something) away" And I think I hear "God" in the third stanza. But what the hell is the rest? "But God was not!" That ain't it. I'll grab the original version later, mabye. I don't have the live version from "destroys wacken" - have you tried it?
 
for me it's sounding like this:

since i was a child, i sought my own way
(i sought) who's god and who's not

i'm so sick of hearing you preach about heaven
all this bullshit about paradise....blablabla

but the lyrics of the live, old and remastered version are in different orders and changed a bit.
but the mumbling intro is all the same, and the darklyrics posted lyrics are (almost)completely wrong lol

the best fucking song peter ever wrote :headbang:
