Emma Bunton - Maybe

 

Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

 

Love isn't funny

When it is burning inside

When all you think of

Is how to get through the night

And when you want it

It's just a game that you play

And when you get it

They're gonna take it away

 

Maybe it's nothing

Maybe it's all just in my mind

Maybe I'm foolish

Maybe it's just a waste of time

 

But I don't think so

Maybe I definitely know

That maybe

Maybe I'm in love

 

Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

 

So if you want it

You wanna come out to play

Then you can have it

Cos he's got plans for the day

And if I want it

There's no one out there for me

When you don't need it

There's plenty fish in the sea

 

Maybe it's nothing

Maybe it's all just in my mind

Maybe I'm foolish

Maybe it's just a waste of time

 

But I don't think so

Maybe I definitely know

Why do I keep fooling myself

Why can't I let go

This is not like me

But now I definitely see

That maybe (oh-oh-oh-oh maybe)

Maybe I'm in love

 

Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

 

But I don't think so (but I don't think so)

Maybe I definitely know (oh-oh-oh)

Why do I keep fooling myself (why)

Why can't I let go (why can't I let go)

This is not like me (this is not like me)

But now I definitely see (definitely)

That maybe (oh-oh-oh-oh maybe)

Maybe I'm in love

 

Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

 

Love isn't funny

Что-то вспомнилось вдруг. Красивая, блин)

 

Из м/ф "Шрек" (в частности). Автор - Леонард Коэн, исполнитель в фильме - Руфус Уэйнрайт. Текст - по памяти, так что пардон за ошибки, если что.

 

"Hallelujah"

 

I've heard there was a secret chord

That David played and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do you?

It goes like this: the fourth, the fifth

The minor fall and the major lift

The buffled king composing Hallelujah...

 

Your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

She tied you to a kitchen chair

She broke your throne, she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah...

 

Baby, I've been here before

I know this room, I've walked this floor

I used to live alone before I knew you

I've seen your flag on the marble arch

But love is not a victory march

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah...

 

There was a time you let me know

What's really going on below

But now you never show it to me, do you?

I remember when I moved in you

The holy dove was moving too

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah...

 

Now maybe there's a god above

But all I've ever learnt from love

Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

But it's not the cry you can hear this night

It's not somebody who's seen the light

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah...

Тік "Олені"

 

Я хочу втікти в дрімучі ліси,

Я втомився від міської асфальтної краси.

Мене задовбали трамваї і колії,

Кондуктори-дебіли і профілакторії.

 

У мене на канапі лежали дівчата,

Вони хотіли кохання у мене забрати.

А на стіні висить старенький килимок,

Я проглядаю його крізь сигаретний димок.

 

А там олЕні-Олені,

Небриті і неголені,

Дивні створіння,

У них з мозгів стирчать коріння.

ОлЕні-Олені,

Небриті і неголені,

ОлЕні...

 

Я вчора розмовляв з директором Чукотки,

Він просив, а я налив йому стаканчик водки.

Ми дивились в мікроскоп строєніє генів,

Я дивився на дівчат, а думав про оленів.

 

Там дівчата, де Олені,

Красиві, неголені,

Дивні створіння

Без мозгів і без коріння.

ОлЕні-Олені,

Небриті і неголені,

ОлЕні...

 

Я хочу втікти в дрімучі ліси,

Я втомився від міської асфальтної краси.

Мене задовбали трамваї і колії,

Кондуктори-дебіли і...

 

ОлЕні-Олені,

Небриті і неголені,

Дивні створіння,

У них з мозгів стирчать коріння.

ОлЕні-Олені,

Небриті і неголені,

ОлЕні...

 

ОлЕні-Олені,

Небриті і неголені. (4 рази)

 

ОлЕні...

Tool - 10,000 Days (Wings Pt.2)

10,000 Days 2006 [4/11]

 

Listen to the tales and romanticize

How we follow the path of the hero

Boast about the day when the rivers overrun

How we'll rise to the height of our halo

 

Listen to the tales as we all rationalize

Our way into the arms of the savior

Feigning all the trials and the tribulations

None of us have actually been there

Not like you

 

Ignorant flippants in the congregation

Gather around spewing sympathy

Spare me

None of them can even hold a candle up to you

Blinded by choice, hypocrites won't see

 

But enough about the collective Judas

Who could deny you were the one who illuminated

Your little piece of the divine

 

this little light of mine

a gift you passed unto me

i'm gonna let it shine

To guide you safely on your way

Your way home

 

What are they gonna' do when the lights go down

Without you guide them all to Zion

What are they gonna' do when the rivers overrun

Other than tremble incessantly

 

High is the way but our eyes are upon the ground

You are the light and the way that they will only read about

I only pray, heaven knows when to lift you out

Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough

You're going home

 

You're the only one who can hold your head up high

Shake your fist at the gates saying:

 

I've come home now

Fetch me the spirit

The son, and the father

Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended

It's time now, my time now

Give me my, give me my wings

 

Give me my

Give me my

Give me my

Give me my

Give me my

Give me my

Give me my

Give me my wings

 

You are the light and the way

That they will only read about

 

Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance

Burden of proof tossed upon the believers

You were my witness

My eyes, my evidence

Judith Marie, unconditional one

 

Daylight dims

Leaving cold fluorescents

Difficult to see you in this light

Please forgive this bold suggestion

Should you see your maker's face tonight

Look him in the eye

Look him in the eye, and tell him

i never lived a lie, never took a life

But surely saved one, hallelujah

it's time for you to bring me home

Tyr - The Wild Rover

Eric The Red, 2003

 

I've been a wild rover for many a year

And I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer

But now I'm returning with gold in great store

And never I'll play the wild rover no more

 

I went to a shanty I used to frequent

And told the landlady my money were spent

I asked her for credit, she answered me

"Nay"

Saying, "Customers like you I can get any day"

 

And it's no nay never

No nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover

No never no more

 

I drew from my pocket ten sovereigns bright

The landlady's eyes opened wide with delight

Saying, "I have the whiskey and wine of the best

and the words that I told you were only in jest"

 

And it's no nay never

No nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover

No never no more

 

I'll go home to my parents, tell them what I’ve done

And hope they will pardon their prodigal son

And if they will do as so often before

No never I'll play the wild rover no more

 

And it's no nay never

No nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover

No never no more

Tristania - [2001 - World Of Glass] - Wormwood

"...The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and in the fountains of water.

The name of the star is Wormwood.

A third of the waters became Wormwood, and many died of the water, because it was made bitter..."

 

In taberna quando sumus

non curamus quid sit humus,

hoc est opus ut queratur

[???]

 

I can see God's unborn son

Playing with a loaded gun

All our sins...

He'll die for us...

Or did somebody lie to us?

I can see the shape of God

Drowning in a pool of blood

A mighty choir of ancient generations sings

Behold! The hand of death

Squeezing out earth's final breath

The stars are falling from the sky

And I know why

 

See God and his hand of death

Squeezing out earth's final breath

How did it all come to this?

Brought to us by Judas kiss?

I watch the sun go out

I've lived to see the end

 

As I watch the sun go out

My loss of faith replaced by doubt

All our sins...

He'll die for us...

Or did somebody lie to us?

 

Let us pour one final drink

Fill the glasses to the rim

The world's on fire

I still can hear the choir sing

Behold! Your nightmares are fulfilled

God just got his final will

The world stops spinning

And death is all around...

 

Come...

Join this toast

God is dead...

великолепная песня, в любом исполнении...

У Леонардо Коэна вроде бы слова другие, только первый припев идентичен.

Руфус вроде бы изменил их

на свой гомосексуальный лад

, про Кэйла я вообще впервый раз слышу - надо бы фильм пересмотреть, да завтра скачать песню. Спасибо большое за ссылку.

Если что не так - поправьте меня...

update - поправляю себя)) - у Кейла слова то те же... странно-с...

Король и Шут - Кукла колдуна

 

Темный, мрачный коридор,

Я на цыпочках, как вор,

Пробираюсь, чуть дыша,

Чтобы не спугнуть

Тех, кто спит уже давно,

Тех, кому не все равно,

В чью я комнату тайком

Желаю заглянуть,

Чтобы увидеть...

 

Как бессонница в час ночной

Меняет, нелюдимая, облик твой,

Чьих невольница ты идей?

Зачем тебе охотиться на людей?

 

Крестик на моей груди,

На него ты погляди

Что в тебе способен он

Резко изменить

Много книжек я читал,

Много фокусов видал

Свою тайну от меня не пытайся скрыть!

Я это видел!

 

Как бессонница в час ночной

Меняет, нелюдимая, облик твой,

Чьих невольница ты идей?

Зачем тебе охотиться на людей?

 

Очень жаль, что ты тогда мне поверить не смогла,

В то, что новый твой приятель не такой как все!

Ты осталась с ним вдвоем,

Не зная ничего о нем...

Что для всех опасен он, наплевать тебе

И ты попала!

 

К настоящему колдуну,

Он загубил таких как ты, не одну!

Словно куклой, в час ночной

Теперь он может управлять тобой!

 

Все происходит как в страшном сне.

И находиться здесь опасно мне!

In Flames - Disconnected

a Sense of Purpose 2008 [2/12]

 

Look at the dead outside my window

Wonder what's on their mind?

Why do they run?

They all seem t have a mission

But then they cry themselves to sleep

 

You'll receive what you give

And this is like nothing

I feel like shit

But atleast I feel something

 

Is this all you meant to be?

 

Their marks in the pavement

You've walked this route too many times

What if I change the signs

Would you even take notice?

 

You'll receive what you give

And this is like nothing

I feel like shit

But atleast I feel something

 

Is this all you have to give?

(Go, March.)

Straight jacket union

(Go, March.)

In chains, surrender

 

You'll receive what you give

And this is like nothing

I feel like shit

But atleast I feel something

 

You'll receive what you give

And this is like nothing

I feel like shit

But atleast I feel something

Noise Pollution - Nobody Else

Walk around searching for something,

Maybe I can find it today.

Then I look down inside,

So then open my eyes and I know it’s the only way.

 

Gotta have it, Gotta want it, Gotta love it, Gotta feel it,

It is something that you can’t hide.

So take the little key, check the corner of your beat,

Turning up the feeling inside.

 

If you can see, What should be,

Tell you one thing...

 

It’s gotta be something you want, Something your feeling,

Don’t let anyone stop you from dreaming.

I do what I want cuz I see, Nobody else can be me.

Something you want, Something that’ll change you,

If you fall don’t worry I’ll save you.

I do what I want cuz I see, Nobody else can be me.

 

Sit down, take some time to look around,

Don’t let it pass you by.

It’s right behind you, If you listen it’ll find you,

No need to even ask why.

 

And I was one step in your shoes,

Living has changed my life.

Got to have it, There’s no way that they can stop you,

Listen and I’ll tell you why.

 

If you can see, What should be,

Tell you one thing...

 

It’s gotta be something you want, Something your feeling,

Don’t let anyone stop you from dreaming.

I do what I want cuz I see, Nobody else can be me.

Something you want, Something that’ll change you,

If you fall don’t worry I’ll save you.

I do what I want cuz I see, Nobody else can be me.

 

You were searchin for something,

Thinking that you found today,

Something made you strong, now you never go wrong.

If you listen when you hear me sing...

 

If you can see, What should be,

Tell you one thing...

 

It’s gotta be something you want, Something your feeling,

Don’t let anyone stop you from dreaming.

I do what I want cuz I see, Nobody else can be me.

Something you want, Something that’ll change you,

If you fall don’t worry I’ll save you.

I do what I want cuz I see, Nobody else can be me.

Finntroll - Trollvisan

 

Trollet satt pе sten och ropade; HEJ!

Vem har spillt mitt mjцd ut?

Men inget djur i skogen eller grottans djup

Visste vem som hade vдllt ut skogstrollets sup

 

Trollet satt pе sten och ropade; HEJ!

Vem har trampat mina svampar ner?

Men inget djur i skogen eller kдra himlens barn

Visste vem som hade stampat hela fдltet bart

 

Trollet satt pе sten och ropade; HEJ!

Mjцd och flдsk till de vise!

Inget djur i skogen eller grottetrollets barn.

Som visste att det var enda trollet hade kvar

 

Och rеttorna svamlade till trollet;

De kristna har spillt ditt mjцd!

De kristna har trampat dina svampar!

De kristna ha slagit dina brцder!

 

Sen blev trollet ilsken och steg upp frеn sin sten

Han gick till kristna landet och brдnde fula kyrkan ner

 

[English translation:]

 

Farce Of The Troll

 

The troll was sitting on his stone and shouted; HEY!

Who has spilled my mead?

But no animal in the forest or the deep caves

Knew who had spilled the forest troll's drink

 

The troll was sitting on his stone and shouted; HEY!

Who has trampled my mushrooms?

But no animal in the forest or children of the sky

Knew who had trampled the whole field

 

The troll was sitting on his stone and shouted; HEY!

Mead and pork to the wise ones!

No animals in the forest or the cave troll's children

Knew that it was the only thing the troll had left

 

And the rats told the troll;

The Christians have spilled your mead!

The Christians have trampled your mushrooms!

The Christians have beaten your brothers!

 

Then the troll got mad and left his stone

He went to the Christian land and burned the ugly church down

C'est une belle journee

 

Allonge le corps est mort

Pour des milliers

C'est un homme qui dort...

A moitie pleine est l'amphore

C'est a moitie vide

Qu'on la voit sans effort

Voir la vie, son cote pile

Oh philosophie

Dis-moi des elegies

Le bonheur

Lui me fait peur

D'avoir tant d'envies

Moi j'ai un souffle au coeur

Aussi

 

C'est une belle journee

Je vais me coucher

Une si belle journee

Qui s'acheve

Donne l'envie d'aimer

Mais je vais me coucher

Mordre l'eternite

A dents pleines

C'est une belle journee

Je vais me coucher

Une si belle journee

Souveraine

Donne l'envie de paix

Voir des anges a mes pieds

Mais je vais me coucher

M'faire la belle

 

Allonge le corps est mort

Pour des milliers

C'est un homme qui dort...

A moitie pleine est l'amphore

C'est a moitie vide

Que je la vois encore

Tout est dit puisqu'en amour

Si c'est du lourd

Si le coeur leger

Des elegies toujours

Les plaisirs, les longs, les courts

Vois-tu mon amour

Moi, j'ai le souffle court

Vois-tu

 

Refrain

 

Belle

La vie est belle

Comme une aile

Qu'on ne doit froisser

Belle

La vie est belle

Et je vais la

Belle

La vie est belle

Mais la mienne

Un monde emporte

Elle, j'entre en elle

Et mortelle, va

Прекрасный денек

 

Лежащее тело мертво

Но для тысяч людей

Это спящий человек

Амфора наполовину полна

Но наполовину пустой

Мы видим ее без труда

Видеть жизнь, ее оборотную сторону

О философия

Читай мне элегии

Счастье

Пугает меня

У меня столько желаний

И дуновение в сердце

Так что...

 

Прекрасный денек

Я пойду спать

Такой прекрасный денек

Заканчивается

Он пробуждает желание любить

Но я пойду спать

Буду наслаждать вечностью

На всю катушку

Прекрасный денек

Я пойду спать

Такой прекрасный денек

Властитель

Он пробуждает желание покоя

Видеть ангелов у своих ног

Но я пойду спать

Совершу побег

 

Лежащее тело мертво

Но для тысяч людей

Это спящий человек

Амфора наполовину полна

Но наполовину пустой

Я снова вижу ее

Все сказано, ведь в любви

Если тяжело

Если на сердце легко

Читай элегии опять

Удовольствия, долгие, короткие

Знаешь, любовь моя,

Я задыхаюсь

Знаешь...

 

Прекрасна

Жизнь прекрасна

Как крыло

Его не нужно смять

Прекрасна

Жизнь прекрасна

И я иду туда

Прекрасна

Жизнь прекрасна

Но моя -

Унесенный мир

Она, я вхожу в нее,

И смертная, идет...

Finntroll - Bastuvisan (люблю такие их песни)))

 

Aamund och Kettil,

tvenne prästermän skulle bada bastu

Då hördes muller och brak, helvetiskt knak från deras farstu.

In kom trollen med jävla fart, skogens oknytt i all sin prakt,

Aamund fick öron avskurna,

Kettil fick sig tills bastun SPRACK!

 

Aamund and Kettil, two men of the cloth, are bathing in a sauna. Suddenly trolls

break in! They cut Aamunds ears off and beat up Kettil until the sauna explodes!

 

 

перевод: "Банная песня" (с) metallibrary.ru

 

Aamund и Kettil

два священника хотели искупаться в бане

Тут послышался грохот и шум

адский треск из их прихожей

Вбегают тролли чертовски быстро

Лесные монстры в своем расцвете

Aamund'у отрезали уши

Kettil'а били пока сауна не

Взорвалась!

Avantasia - Devil In The Belfry

 

[vocals by Tobias Sammet and Jorn Lande]

 

[Tobias Sammet:]

I dropped off in the shadows

the lead of a tragedy

I open my eyes � blind by the spotlight

and what do I see?

 

[Jorn Lande:]

Pushed by ambition, you've been granted admission

to the hall of acclaim,

She denied your affection,

now listen the whole world is screaming your name

 

[Tobias Sammet:]

I will forget her but I won't forgive

the curtain has fallen, behold the messiah

 

[Chorus:]

Riding high, the devil on the crest

for all the world to see forevermore

I am I � devil in the belfry, I'll be glorified forevermore

 

[Jorn Lande:]

Is it a sin to learn to be able to live without love?

And is it a sin to put love under will and control from above?

 

[Tobias Sammet:]

Devil in my fingers � pleasure at my feet

Mind out of sight

The shadow I'll cast shall darken her world

and ghost her at night

 

With each song you'll die a little for me

It won't leave the scar, 'cause I've drown the curtain

 

[Chorus x2]

 

[Jorn Lande:]

Into the opera like moths to the flame

Spellbind their senses to follow the hero

 

[Chorus x2]

Lay beside me, tell me what they've done

Speak the words I want to hear, to make my demons run

The door is locked now but it's opened if you're true

If you can understand the me, then I can understand the you

 

Lay beside me, under wicked skies

Through black of day, dark of night, we share this paralyze

The door cracks open but there's no sun shining through

Black heart scarring darker still, but there's no sun shining through

 

No, there's no sun shining through

No, there's no sun shining

 

What I've felt, what I've known

Turn the pages, turn the stone

Behind the door, should I open it for you?

 

What I've felt, what I've known

Sick and tired, I stand alone

Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you

Or are you unforgiven, too?

 

Come beside me, this won't hurt, I swear

She loves me not, she loves me still, but she'll never love again

She lay beside me but she'll be there when I'm gone

Black heart scarring darker still, yes, she'll be there when I'm gone

Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone

Dead sure she'll be there

 

What I've felt, what I've known

Turn the pages, turn to stone

Behind the door, should I open it for you?

 

What I've felt, what I've known

Sick and tired, I stand alone

Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you

Or are you unforgiven, too?

 

Lay beside me, tell me what I've done

The door is closed, so are your eyes

But now I see the sun, now I see the sun

Yes, now I see it

 

What I've felt, what I've known

Turn the pages, turn the stone

Behind the door, should I open it for you?

 

What I've felt, what I've known

Sick and tired, I stand alone

Could you be there? 'Cause I'm the one who waits

The one who waits for you

 

I take this key

And I bury it in you

Because you're unforgiven, too

 

Never free

Never me

'Cause you're unforgiven, too

Opeth - Burden

Watershed. 2008 [4/7]

 

I, once upon a time

Carried a burden inside

I sung a last goodbye

A broken rhyme I'd underlined

There's an ocean of sorrow in you

 

A sorrow in me

 

Saw a movement in their eyes

Said I no longer knew the way

Given up the ghost

A passive mind submit to fear

And the wait for redemption at hand

 

Waiting to fail

 

Failing again

 

If death should take me now

Count my mistakes and let me through

Whisper in my ear

You've taken more than we've received

And the ocean of sorrow is you

[sheid]

I have often told you stories

About the way

I lived the life of a drifter

Waiting for the day

When I'd take your hand

And sing you songs

Then maybe you would say

Come lay with me love me

And I would surely stay

 

But I feel I'm growing older

And the songs that I have sung

Echo in the distance

Like the sound

Of a windmill goin' 'round

I guess I'll always be...

A soldier of fortune

 

Many times I've been a traveller

I looked for something new

In days of old

When nights were cold

I wandered without you

But those days I thougt my eyes

Had seen you standing near

Though blindness is confusing

It shows that you're not here

 

Now I feel I'm growing older

And the songs that I have sung

Echo in the distance

Like the sound

Of a windmill goin' 'round

I guess I'll always be...

A soldier of fortune

Yes, I can hear the sound

Of a windmill goin' 'round

I guess I'll always be

A soldier of fortune

Opeth - Isolation Years

Ghost Reveries. 2006 [8/8]

 

There's a sense of longing in me

As I read Rosemary's letter

Her writing's honest

Can't forget the years she's lost

 

In isolation

She talks about her love

And as I read

"I'll die alone"

I know she's aching

 

There's a certain detail seen here

The pen must have slipped to the side

And left a stain

Next to his name

She knows he's gone

 

And isolation

Is all that would remain

"The wound in me is pouring out

To rest on a lover's shore"

[Maggot]

Stone Sour Through Glass

 

I'm looking at you through the glass...

Don't know how much time has passed

Oh, god it feels like forever

But no one ever tells you that forever

Feels like home sitting all alone inside your head

 

How do you feel? That is the question

But I forget.. you don't expect an easy answer

When something like a soul becomes

Initialized and folded up like paper dolls and little notes

You can't expect a bit of hope

So while you're outside looking in

Describing what you see

Remember what you're staring at is me

 

Cause I'm looking at you through the glass...

Don't know how much time has passed

All I know is that it feels like forever

When no one ever tells you that forever

Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head

 

How much is real? So much to question

An epidemic of the mannequins

Contaminating everything

When thought came from the heart

It never did right from the start

Just listen to the noises

(No more sad voices)

Before you tell yourself

It's just a different scene

Remember it's just different from what you've seen

 

I'm looking at you through the glass...

Don't know how much time has passed

And all I know is that it feels like forever

When no one ever tells you that forever

Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head

 

And it's the starrrssss

The sttarrrsss

That shine for you

And it's the starrrssss

The sttarrrsss

That lie to you.. yeah-ah

 

I'm looking at you through the glass...

Don't know how much time has passed

Oh, god it feels like forever

But no one ever tells you that forever

Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head

 

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass...

Don't know how much time has passed

All I know is that it feels like forever

But no one ever tells you that forever

Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your heaaaaddd

 

And it's the starrrssss

The sttarrrsss

That shine for you.. yeah-ah

And it's the starrrssss

The sttarrrsss

That lie to you.. yeah-ah

 

And it's the starrrssss

The sttarrrsss

That shine for you.. yeah-ah

And it's the starrrssss

The sttarrrsss

That lie to you.. yeah-ah yeah

 

Ohhhoh when the starrs

Ohhh oh when the starrrrs that liieee

Tool - Jambi

10,000 Days. 2006 [2/11]

 

Here from the king's mountain view

Here from the wild dream come true

Feast like a sultan I do on treasures and flesh - never few

 

But I, I would wish it all away if I thought I'd lose you, just one day

 

The devil and his had me down in love with the dark side I'd found, dabbling all the way down; up to my neck, soon to drown

 

But you changed that all for me; lifted me up, turned me 'round

So I...

I...

I...

I...

I would

I would

I would wish this all away

 

Prayed like a martyr dusk 'til dawn

Begged like a hooker all night long

Tempted the devil with my song

And got what I wanted all along

 

But I...

And I would

If I could, then I would wish it away, wish it away, wish it all away

Wanna wish it all away

No pressure could hold, sway, or justify my kneeling away my center

 

So if I could I'd wish it all away, if I thought tomorrow would take you away

You're my peace of mind, my home, my center

I'm just trying to hold on one more day

 

Jab my eyes...

Jab my eyes...

 

Jab my eyes if they should compromise our fulcrum

If what you need divides me then I might as well be gone

 

Shine on forever

Shine on, benevolent sun

 

Shine down upon the broken

Shine until the two become one

 

Shine on forever

Shine on, benevolent sun

 

Shine on upon the severed

Shine until the two become one

 

Divided, I wither away

Divided, I wither away

 

Shine down upon the many

Light our way, benevolent sun

 

Breathe in union

Breathe in union

Breathe in union

Breathe in union

Breathe in union

So, as one, survive another day and season

 

Silence leeches; save your poison

Silence leeches; stay out of my way!

[sheid]

Opeth - The Lotus Eater

Watershed. 2008 [3/7]

 

Liquid is in your throat,

For hopeless delight.

After all you fell in love with death,

Life has aborted.

All you've had and all you became,

The night is calling, you pray forth.

 

The barren waste is your land,

Your crops they were sown to die.

 

The skin is a mirror,

Empty eyes hollow with ignorance,

Health runs from your lips,

Sucked in and safe in a world of sleep.

 

All those years caring for a liar.

Benefit road that is winding higher.

You're a moth drawn close to the fire.

 

You are stuck in a route of confusion

Changing and waiting and seeking the truth of it all.

 

Fleeing your sorrows

Pushing your spirit away

 

Sick of the weakness of the psyche

Whisper from the heart of evil

Luring them all into despair

Resenting the goods of a savior

 

And cries out

For the restless will also.. die

 

A selection culled from the damned

Drawing a lifeline of one

A friend died in your room

And sought the birth of a follower

 

Oh Brother!

You are a killer

And you target yourself

 

I wish that you had never come back

For us to see

The beckoning end

 

And the pride of a mother

Brought flaws in a mother's son,

And the love from a father

Was used by a father's son

 

Overheard us talking

In a smoke of lost hope

The language of our parting

So clear and so true

 

Overheard us talking

[Lucyfire]

Elusive - Coming Home

The Great Silence. 2008.

 

have I come

to the end of the line

another drink

is sinking tonight

her name was sorrow

gave me these chains

through a closing door

she calls my name

 

I’ve seen their prayers

on angel wings

so lost somewhere

so cold

 

here comes the train

the poisoned hearts

and the haunting ghost

here comes the train

and I’m coming home

I’m on the train

to hear the last song

here comes the train

I’m coming home

 

erasing pictures

down at the bar

don’t know where

it’s a lonely town

outside the window

there’s always the rain

and through the door

comes the pain

higher and higher

we aim for the stars

the light holds no promise for you

higher and higher

she’ll take me tonight

through fire and dust and her eyes

 

here comes the train

through all the rights

and all the wrongs

here comes the train

and I’m coming home

I’m on the train

to hear the last song

here comes the train

I’m coming home

[Ни-Ра-Ли-Кен]

Opeth - Windowpane

 

Blank face in the windowpane

Made clear in seconds of light

Disappears and returns again

Counting hours, searching the night

 

Might be waiting for someone

Might be there for us to see

Might be in need of talking

Might be staring directly at me

 

Inside plays a lullaby

Slurred voice over children cries

On the inside

 

Haunting loneliness in the eye

Skin covering a secret scar

His hand is waving a goodbye

There's no response or action returned

 

There is deep prejudice in me

Outshines all reason inside

Given dreams all ridden with pain

And projected unto the last
