Veil Of Sorrow - Scars​


Look deep into me
Tell me what you see
A broken image
A cold empty shell
This world brings me down
I'm on my knees
A choking grip so tight
I fear the night descends​
How deep the river of fate
In the silence of the hours late​
I saw my other self
A smile carved in his face​
Reminding me of days long gone
Things would never be the same
And time passed on and on
Brought little hope
The grief that clasps my very soul
Once held there's no return​
Look deep into me
See what I've become
A pale reflection
Of what I used to be
The days which linger ever on
They all seem the same
The grief that clasps my very soul
Once held there's no return

Afi - The Leaving Song Pt. 2

Don't waste your touch
You won't feel anything
Or were you sent to save me?
I've thought to much
You won't find anything
worthy of redeeming.​
Yo he estado aqui muchas veces antes y regreso
to...
BREAK DOWN!
and cease all feeling
BURN NOW!
what once was breathing
REACH OUT!
and you may take my heart away!
Imperfect cry
and scream in ecstasy
so what befalls the flawless?
Look what i've built
it shines so beautifully!
now watch as it destroys me.
Y regreso aqui otra vez y comienzo
to...
BREAK DOWN!
and cease all feeling
BURN NOW!
what once was breathing
REACH OUT!
and you may take my heart away!
BREAK DOWN!
and cease all feeling
BURN NOW!
what once was breathing
REACH OUT!
and you may take my heart away!
(whispers this whole part) I left it all behind and never said goodbye. I left
it all behind and never said goodbye. I left it all behind and never said
goodbye. I left it all to die (whisper ends)
I saw its birth
i watched it grow
I felt it change me.
i took the life
I ate it slow
Now it consumes me
BREAK DOWN!
and cease all feeling
BURN NOW!
what once was breathing
REACH OUT!
and you may take my heart away!
BREAK DOWN!
and cease all feeling
BURN NOW!
what once was breathing
REACH OUT!
and you may take my heart away!
HEART AWAY!​

Solitude Aeturnus-Days Of Prayer

Standing before the door of the one I call god
My entrance has been denied- forever lost
Days of prayer are words wasted on the wind
If there is to be an answer then give these talons a grasp to hold

Burning sun of hope
A blackened path in my way

Trees of fruitless seed are soon cast away
Hearing the wind whisper of souls
Why must I stand amongst the void​
 
Dark Tranquillity - Auctioned

outsmart the fever
and take us farther from
the killing life in capsules
a life that can't belong

so if I wake up dead to the world
with the helm at my command
the reaching out of this
faced tomorrow in the 11: th hour
beckoned closer
now as nightfall sends it's grace
cue to enter the insatiable ideal
slam it shut but the portal pounding lingers
what is it; is time undone
cannot falter in the security of labour
was I supposed to believe?

where did I sign
did I miss the auction where my life went under the club?

went the half mile
wondered when the resolution would come
life became too solid
diluted by the essence of denial
caught in fire's eye
the self and filter that is I
my lip was venom
words formed in my mouth
hid beneath the tounge
never to be seen​
 
Amorphis- On Rich and Poor

Old folk remember
And those today learn
How before their time
Life was different here:

Without the sun people lived
Groped about without the moon
With candles sowing was done
Planting performed with torched.

At the time we lived
Without the sunshine
Who had covered up our sun
And who had hidden our moon?

Without the moonlight stumbled
With our fists fumbled the land
With our hands we sought out roads
With hands roads, with fingers swamps
We could seek out the sun
Who spy out the moon?
Who else if not God
The one son of God?
 
Pink Floyd - Hey You

Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, don’t help them to bury the light
Don’t give in without a fight.

Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I’m coming home.

But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.

Hey you, standing in the road
Always doing what you’re told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, don’t tell me there’s no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.

[click of tv being turned on]
Well, only got an hour of daylight left. better get started
Isnt it unsafe to travel at night?
It’ll be a lot less safe to stay here. you’re father’s gunna pick up our trail before long
Can loca ride?
Yeah, I can ride... magaret, time to go! maigret, thank you for everything
Goodbye chenga
Goodbye miss ...
I’ll be back
 
Samael - Ways

How long is a life how many ways can you try on
How long is your life how many ways did you try on
don't need to reach the end when you know what's there
no one knows what's there...
get in get out don't lose time in the roundabout
get in get out read your map if you ever doubt
try on try out all different sense
try on reach out for distant suns

the way we take, the one we don't
the one we left, the one we change
the one that burns, the one that freezes
the one we built, the one we are
along the way there's some ways we take another way

got power to ponder
to construct to structure
to be tuned, uninterfered
to conquer our inner self
to prevent and assure
to invent our future

fighting the resistance of time
with persistence of faith
softly, cunningly, cleaning the dirt
wildly, radiantly, drowning the rebirth

winged by pressure
dazzled by pleasure
distorted absorbed
restored again and again

there's an after to every now...
an answer to every how
there's an after to every now

the way we take, the one we don't
the one we left, the one we change
the one that burns, the one that freezes
the one we built, the one we are
along the way there's some ways we take another way

there's a way there's one way and that is the way
there's a way
away​
 
Nighttime Birds (The Gathering)

Their ways are open
they spread as their wings
they want to be certain
of a warm surrounding

When they fly
through the night as beautiful
nighttime birds

The warm wind picks them up

When they fly
through the night as beautiful
nighttime birds
 
Katatonia - I Break

Sounds of imbalance
Sleeps through the never
The artificial lightsource
Is creeping with flies

And this time i break
I will never make
Another day
Defiant to what's delivered

I will find a way
To sever myself
Exit all today
You can't see this
Did you ever say
I break sever
I will find a way
Visit me when i'm there

The weakness of hope
Is the strength of decline
Remember what's past ways
And what i've become
The joy of not being
Something i need
I'm only weather
But only to me​
 
Anathema - Hope

When you look at me
From your own century
I may seem to be
Strange archeology
But when the winds blow
From this direction
You may sense me there
In your reflection
I think I feel you
But I will never know
As the swallows leave
And the children grow

I wanted to live forever
The same is you will too
I wanted to live forever
And everybody knew

When I caught you there
In tomorrows mirror
I thought felt you
Jump out of my skin
Throwing oil into
My blazing memories
Filling empty footsteps
I was standing in

I wanted to live forever
The same as you will too
I wanted to live forever
And everybody knew

As the falling rain
Of the northern jungle
Hanging droplets on the leaves
Bombards my brain
I hear you
Across the room
A sea of daffodils spring into bloom
You are the mist
The frost across my window pane
And again

She moves her body
And her whispers weave
And the world spins
And tells me that I'll never want to leave

As I think of you
From this dark century
I will always be
With generosity
That we both may share
The hope in hearing
That we're not just
Spirits disappearing

Evereve - Dies Irae (Grave New World)

As sirens screamed out in the darkness
And fire fell down from the sky
As we cowered again in the bunker
We all knew the reason why

As our houses lay in ruins
And our sons were shot side by side
As the devil danced upon the graveyard
We all knew who's to blame

"For I am not one of the cowards
For I'm neither mortal nor weak
For I am the one you have longed for
A new master-race forsee"

He that is without sin among you
Let him first cast a stone on you...
(Joh. 8,1)

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride
If leaders feed beggars, a nation of beggars will fight

Those you once seduced
Are now here to be crucified
The principle of a fool
Who's betrayed and sacrificed

And to the fire-ey'd maid of smoky war
All hot and bleeding will we offer them:
The mailed Mars shall on his altar sit,
Up to the ears in blood...
(Shakespeare)​
 
REM - Drive
Smack, crack, bushwhacked
Tie another one to the racks, baby

Hey kids, rock and roll
Nobody tells you where to go, baby
What if I ride? What if you walk?
What if you rock around the clock?
Tick-tock, tick-tock
What if you did? What if you walk?
What if you tried to get off, baby?

Hey kids, where are you?
Nobody tells you what to do, baby

Hey kids, shake a leg
Maybe you're crazy in the head, baby

Maybe you did, maybe you walked
Maybe you rocked around the clock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Maybe I ride, maybe you walk
Maybe I drive to get off, baby
(repeat chorus 3)
Ollie, ollie
Ollie, ollie, ollie
Ollie, ollie in come free, baby

Smack, crack, shack-a-lack
Tie another one to your back, baby

Hey kids, rock and roll
Nobody tells you where to go, baby, baby, baby
 
Anathema - Crestfallen

I cry a tear of hope but it is lost in helplessness
The darkness eats away at the very embers of my soul
For the deepest love I had has dissolved before my eyes
My sorrow is bleak, I beg for deliverance

Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer

All emotion is consumed by an inner silence
All grief is unassuaged by disconsulate tears
I want for nothing, I live for nothing
I am waiting to die but I am afraid of dying

Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer

Crestfallen emotion
Wallowing in guilt
and drowning for evermore

Falling deeper into fear
My inner self is now
a sleeper of stone

Help me.​
 
Biohazard-Punishment

I question not me, it only happens to others
I can't deny reality as life gets smothered

If the lines can be read between
Maybe you can tell me then what it all means
Cause he who paints the big picture runs the whole scene

Locked down, I gotta get it out
Impending doom, a cloud above my head
Why me? My faith has been devout
Blasphemous? Am I better off dead?

Pusishment, for all my sins

A burning thought inside my mind
Has me full of pity for all of human kind
As we move forth, we fall further behind

Fear of death, will my life go on?
Controllled fate? On the corner rolling dice
Punishment, but I've done nothing wrong
In my eyes, who really pays the price

My lament, for the human race
Guilty, punishment for all my sins

Dread the day that brings the truth
Punishment for what I've done
Sentence me for all my sins
Bound in fear for what I've got
Though not much it seems a lot
Life is death and no one wins

Bustin' my ass, another day another dollar, as I kneel down and I
confress to the father that I'm suffering a burning question of
the truth, wether or not to pull the trigger or to jump right
off the roof, 'cause I did things normal and just like all my friends
but now I'm positive and life it all ends

Punishment, for all my sins, I repent

In reality, we all must face the fact that the majority
of the people are out there smoking crack, getting doped up,
shooting that shit into their veins, the question must be asked if
we have any brains left, or right or wrong in this son, a
question we all ask and must answer before long, 'cause no one
is safe in this world, what's the deal, the sentence is death and to
what court do I appeal?

Punishment, for all my sins, I repent

Punishment
 
Sophia - Swept back

You’re wet around the edge
Tired of swimming upstream
You thought you'd just rest a while
But you were still swept back to me
Swept back to me

Swept back to all the grief and the worry
Swept back
Swept back
But I know you don't deserve to be broken
So just focus on the light
Focus on the light

Well we push and we pull
But still at least we never feel empty
And can’t we just pretend
That I'm an island in your sea
Let's give in before we’re swept

KATATONIA - Without God

Human Birds Watch The Sky
Where Dark Formations Sail
Infecting The Area of God
Jhva Elohim Meth

I Am God - Creator of Life
I Am God - Enchanter of Death
Death That Now Marks You
Life That Slowly Pass Away

Screams of Fear Dismembering The Wind
Helpless Souls Drowning In Pain
But Storms of Dawn, A new Age
A Dawn Without God

My Spirit Filled With Hate Sets Free
A Force of The Golden Dawn
Without God...Entomb Your Fear

The Spirit Is Free
Jhva Elohim Meth
Satan Laughs
Jhva Elohim Meth

I Raise My Fist To The Sky
Swear The Ancient Oath of Black
The Lambs Shall Bleed, Eternally Bleed
God Is Dead and Shall Forever Be...
