Sting - We'll Be Together Tonight

 

WE'LL BE TOGETHER

 

I see me with you and all the things you do

Keep turning round and round in my mind

Forget the weather we should always be together

And any other thought is unkind

 

To have you with me I would swim the sevens seas

To have you as my guide and my light

My love is a flame that burns in your name

We'll be together We'll be together tonight

 

We'll be together, yeah

We'll be together, yeah

We'll be together, yeah

 

I see you with me and all I want to be

Is dancing here with you in my arms

Forget the weather we should always be together

I'll always be a slave to your charms

 

To have you with me I would swim the seven seas

To have you as my guide and my light

My love is a flame that burns in your name

We'll be together We'll be together

 

Call me baby. You can call me anything you want

Call me baby Call me Just call me

We'll be together, yeah

We'll be together, yeah

 

I see you with me and baby makes three

I see me with you and all the things we do

Forget the weather we should always be together

I need you as my guide and my light

My love is a flame that burns in your name

We'll be together We'll be together tonight

I'm feeling a little devilish, how about an OZZY triple play…

 

Black Sabbath

 

What is this that stands before me?

Figure in black which points at me

Turn around quick, and start to run

Find out I'm the chosen one

Oh nooo!

Big black shape with eyes of fire

Telling people their desire

Satan's sitting there, he's smiling

Watches those flames get higher and higher

Oh no, no, please God help me!

Is it the end, my friend?

Satan's coming 'round the bend

people running 'cause they're scared

The people better go and beware!

No, no, please, no!

 

Mr. Crowly

 

mr. crowley, what went on in your head

mr. crowley, did you talk to the dead

your lifestyle to me seemed so trajic

with the thrill of it all

you fooled all the people with magic

you waited on satan's call

 

mr. charming, did you think you were pure

mr. alarming, in nocturnal rapport

uncovering things that were sacred, manifest on this earth

concieved in the eye of a secret

and they scattered the afterbirth

 

mr. crowley, won't you ride my white horse

mr. crowley, it's symbolic of course

approaching a time that is classic

i hear maidens call

approaching a time that is drastic

standing with thier backs to the wall

 

(epilogue)

was it polemically sent

i wanna know what you meant

i wanna know

i wanna know what you meant

 

Iron Man

 

Has he lost his mind?

Can he see or is he blind?

Can he walk at all,

Or if he moves will he fall?

Is he alive or dead?

Has he thoughts within his head?

We'll just pass him there

Why should we even care?

 

He was turned to steel

In the great magnetic field

When he travelled time

For the future of mankind

 

Now the time is here

For Iron Man to spread fear

Vengeance from the grave

Kills the people he once saved

 

Nobody wants him

He just stares at the world

Planning his vengeance

That he will soon unfurl

 

Nobody wants him

They just turn their heads

Nobody helps him

Now he has his revenge

 

Heavy boots of lead

Fills his victims full of dread

Running as fast as they can

Iron Man lives again!

Oh, I'm in a very nasty mood today...

 

 

Adema - Freaking Out

 

I was so much an outcast

No one ever liked me cause I wasn't wanted

I was so different from the rest of them all

F--ked up on the drugs, from all the speed

And I never got no sleep

Cause I kept on trippin' over what they said

And everything that my mom said made me mad

And everything that my dad said made me sad

Why am I even trying?

I'm crying out, I'm crying out

I cannot seem to keep from freaking out

Spinning round, spinning round, I've fallen down

I cannot seem to keep from freaking out

You keep shootin' those glances

Relating to the rawness of a f--kin' lost kid

Trying so hard to become just like me, talk like me, walk like me

You keep trippin' on everything I wear, every time I swear

Even when it comes to my hair

It seems like you don't have the time to relate to my kind

I'm not a dumb fool in your life

Why am I even trying?

I'm crying out, I'm crying out

I cannot seem to keep from freaking out

Spinning round, spinning round, I've fallen down

I cannot seem to keep from freaking out

I'm trippin' out, I'm trippin' out

I cannot seem to keep from freaking out

Coming down, breaking down

I've hit the ground

I cannot seem to keep from freaking out

Now do you trip?

Are you still tripping on me?

Now do you trip?

Why are you tripping on me?

Of all the things I believe in

I just want to get it over with

tears from behind my eyes

but I do not cry

Counting the days that past me by

 

I've been searching deep down in my soul

Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old

Looks like I'm starting all over again

The last three years were just pretend and I say

 

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to everything I thought I knew

You were the one I love

The one thing that I tried to hold on to

 

I still get lost in your eyes

And it seems like I can't live a day without you

Closing my eyes till you chase my thoughts away

To a place where I am blinded by the light but it's not right

 

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to everything I thought I knew

You were the one I loved

The one thing that I tried to hold on to

 

Ohhh yeah

It hurts to want everything & nothing at the same time

I want whats yours and I want whats mine

I want you but I'm not giving in this time

 

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to everything I thought I knew

You were the one I loved

The one thing that I tried to hold on to

The one thing that I tried to hold on to

 

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to everything I thought I knew

You were the one I loved

The one thing that I tried to hold on to

 

We the stars fall and I lie awake

Your my shooting star

Turn it inside out so I can see

The part of you that's drifting over me

And when I wake you're never there

But when I sleep you're everywhere

You're everywhere

 

Just tell me how I got this far

Just tell me why you're here and who you are

'Cause every time I look

you're never there

And every time I sleep

you're always there

 

'Cause you're everywhere to me

And when I close my eyes it's you I see

You're everything I know

that makes me believe

I'm not alone

I'm not alone

 

I recognize the way you make me feel

It's hard to think that

you might not be real

I sense it now, the water's getting deep

I try to wash the pain away from me

Away from me

 

'Cause you're everywhere to me

And when I close my eyes it's you I see

You're everything I know

that makes me believe

I'm not alone

I'm not alone

 

I am not alone

Whoa, oh, oooh, oh

 

And when I touch your hand

It's then I understand

The beauty that's within

It's now that we begin

You always light my way

I hope there never comes a day

No matter where I go

I always feel you so

 

'Cause you're everywhere to me

And when I close my eyes it's you I see

You're everything I know

that makes me believe

I'm not alone

'Cause you're everywhere to me

And when I catch my breath

it's you I breathe

You're everything I know

that makes me believe

I'm not alone

 

You're in everyone I see

So tell me

Do you see me

Baby mine don’t you cry

Baby mine dry your eye

Rest your head close to my heart

Never to part

Baby of mine

If they knew sweet little you

They’d end up loving you too

All those same people who scold you

What they’d give just for the right to hold you

 

Little one when you play

Don’t you mind what you say

Let those eyes sparkle and shine

Never a tear

Baby of mine

 

From your head down to your toes

You’re not much, goodness knows

But you’re so precious to me

Cute as can be

Baby of mine

Sweet Water - Feel Good:

 

Feel Good

(Sweet Water)

 

Come out into the sun

Leave your coat at home, you don't need it

Step outside your bedroom door

Some kind of love is hard to find

And you're hard as nails

And cold as stone

But I've seen some cracks begin to show

 

If you've lost your spirit, I'll give you mine

If you've lost your spirit, I'll give you mine

I know you been pushed around

I know you been kicked around

But it's over now

 

Fill your pockets, take what you need

Just a crutch, to help you on your way

Past your dreams, into the unknown

Everybody needs a friend, don't be ashamed

You're no worse for the wear

I'll lick your wounds clean

I'll lick them clean

 

If you've lost your spirit, I'll give you mine

If you've lost your spirit, I'll give you mine

I know you been pushed around

I know you been kicked around

But it's over now

But it's over now

 

Let it go

Before it drags you down

Before it pulls you down

 

Let it go

Before it drags you down

Before it pulls you down

Before it drags you down

 

I know you been pushed around

i know you been kicked around

But it's over now

It's over now

"Homesick"

by MercyMe

 

You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times

And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you

But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry

Is how long must I wait to be with you

 

I close my eyes and I see your face

If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place

Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now

 

Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways

The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know

But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same

Cause I'm still here so far away from home

 

I close my eyes and I see your face

If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place

Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now

 

In Christ, there are no goodbyes

And in Christ, there is no end

So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have

To see you again

To see you again

 

And I close my eyes and I see your face

If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place

Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

 

I've never been more homesick than now

 

 

(Last night I was thinking about my parents,my grandmother and the other family members I've lost in the past 10-years...too many,and feeling very depressed and dark,then this song came on.It didn't exactly cheer me up,but it spoke to my emotional state at the time.Thought I'd track down the lyrics and share them).

I understand how you feel.

 

Sometimes the songs are so bittersweet, and yet through the tears, you do somehow feel better.

 

My Dad died in 02, and he and I always used to sing songs together, lullabies. I heard this song by Billy Joel on AOL Lullabies radio station, it is so reminds me that as long as I carry on with those songs, and honoring my Dad's memory, that he is always with me, but it never fails to choke me up.

 

 

Good night my angel time to close you eyes

And save these questions for another day

I think I know what you've been asking me

I think you know what I've been trying to say

 

I promised I would never leave you

And you should always know

Where ever you may go

No matter where you are

I never will be far away

 

 

Good night my angel now it's time to sleep

And still so many things I want to say

Remember all the songs you sang for me

When we went sailing on an emerald bay

 

And like a boat out on the ocean

I'm rocking you to sleep

The water's dark and deep

Inside this ancient heart

You'll always be a part of me

 

(Musical Bridge)

Do do do do...

 

 

Goodnight my angel now it's time to dream

And dream how wondeful your life will be

Someday your child will cry and if you sing this lullaby

Then in your heart there will always be a part of me

 

Someday we'll all be gone

But lullabies go on and on

They never die that's how you and I will be

Everything to Me

Liz Phair

 

 

 

I bet it makes you laugh

Watching me work so hard to reach you

You never gave a damn

About all of those things I did to please you

All that you wanted, you found somewhere else

And nothing could drag you away from yourself

 

Do you really know me at all?

Would you take the time to catch me if I fall?

Are you ever gonna be that real to me?

Everything to me

 

Lucky I’ve been through hell

Back roads and shortcuts, I know them well

Baby just stick with me

We’ll make it together, just wait and see

 

Do you really know me at all?

Would you take the time to catch me if I fall?

Are you ever gonna be that real to me?

Everything to me

 

the walls they close in

the air it goes out

you left with nothing

but a shadow of a doubt

nobody talks,

no one is here

it’s just you and me

 

Do you really know me at all?

Would you take the time to catch me if I fall?

Are you ever gonna be that real to me?

 

Do you really know me at all?

Would you take the time to catch me if I fall?

Johhny Cash- Hurt

I hurt myself today

to see if I still feel

I focus on the pain

the only thing that's real

the needle tears a hole

the old familiar sting

try to kill it all away

but I remember everything

what have I become?

my sweetest friend

everyone I know

goes away in the end

and you could have it all

my empire of dirt

 

I will let you down

I will make you hurt

 

I wear this crown of thorns

upon my liar's chair

full of broken thoughts

I cannot repair

beneath the stains of time

the feelings disappear

you are someone else

I am still right here

 

what have I become?

my sweetest friend

everyone I know

goes away in the end

and you could have it all

my empire of dirt

 

I will let you down

I will make you hurt

 

if I could start again

a million miles away

I would keep myself

I would find a way

"The Ocean Floor"

by Audio Adrenaline

 

The mistakes I've made

That caused pain

I could have done without

All my selfish thoughts

All my pride

The things I hide

You have forgot about

They're all behind you

They'll never find you

They're on the ocean floor

Your sins are forgotten

They're on the bottom

Of the ocean floor

My disdeeds

All my greed

All the things that haunt me now

They're not a pretty sight to see

But they're wiped away

By a mighty wave

A mighty wave, mighty wave

They're all behind you

They'll never find you

They're on the ocean floor

Your sins are forgotten

They're on the bottom

Of the ocean floor

Take them away

To return no more

Take them away

To the ocean floor

"Where would I be without Jesus?"

Buck Owens

 

owens3hg.jpg

 

When my burdens get heavy

I just kneel down and pray

I ask God to work 'em out

Not mine, but his own way.

 

Safe in his arms, what a relief

For without Jesus where would I be?

 

Where would I be without Jesus

Where would I spend eternity

Lost in the world full of sorrow

Without Jesus where would I be?

 

--- Instrumental ---

 

In Chapter 14 of John verse 2 and 3

He says he's preparing a place for you and me

With him on my side that's all I'll ever need

Oh, without Jesus where would I be?

 

Where would I be without Jesus

Where would I spend eternity

Lost in the world full of sorrow

Without Jesus where would I be?...

It Must HAve Been Love (Roxette)

 

Lay a whisper on my pillow, leave the winter on the ground. I wake up lonely, there’s air of silence in the bedroom and all around. touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away.

 

It must have been love but it’s over now. it must have been good but I lost it somehow. it must have been love but it’s over now. from the moment we touched ’til the time had run out.

 

Make-believing we’re together, that I’m sheltered by your heart. but in and outside I’ve turned to water like a teardrop in your palm. and it’s a hard winter’s day, I dream away.

 

It must have been love but it’s over now, it was all that I wanted, now I’m living without. it must have been love but it’s over now, it’s where the water flows, it’s where the wind blows.

Antigone Rising - She Lived Here

 

She lived here

behind that door

where she played and hung around

smokin' up

to something but I couldn't tell you what

Don't bother dropping that name by me

don't bother dropping nothing but the conversation

or please take your leave

I let it kill me now I let it be

 

But she's in here

and her shadow left a stain

and I can't get it up

she left a feeling but I couldn't tell you what

Don't let her throw her magic at you

Don't let her can't let her be your meditation

don't pray too long

Keep one open or she's good as gone

 

(chorus)

Did it hit where she aimed or where it hurt?

Did they wipe off that smile with dollar bills?

If you're looking for some life she left behind

you'd be better off looking at mine

 

She lived here

behind that door

where she prayed like on hallowed ground

saving up for something

but she never told me what

Don't bother dropping that name no more

don't bother dropping nothing but the conversation

or please there's the door

I let it beat me now I know the score

 

(repeat chorus)

 

Did she blow your mind

Did she make it on time

Did she blow your mind

Did she make it on time

She lived here

"Here I Am"

Michael W. Smith

 

There’s a place where I can go

Where the angels hear me pray

“I want to change, yes I need Your touch”

I’m waiting here for You

 

And I fall, at Your feet

I’ll give it all, until the day we meet

 

Chorus:

Here I am

Ready to give up my life for the One

Here I am

Ready to pour out my heart for the Son

Here I am

 

Here I come to Your threshing floor

Where the angels fear to tread

I’m waiting here for the King of love

And to hold the hands that bled

 

And I fall, at Your feet

I’ll give it all, until the day we meet

 

Chorus: (2x’s)

"El Shaddai"

by Amy Grant

 

(one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard)*

 

El Shaddai, El Shaddai,

El-Elyon na Adonia,

Age to age You're still the same,

By the power of the name.

El Shaddai, El Shaddai,

Erkamka na Adonai,

We will praise and lift You high,

El Shaddai.

 

Through your love and through the ram,

You saved the son of Abraham;

Through the power of your hand,

Turned the sea into dry land.

To the outcast on her knees,

You were the God who really sees,

And by Your might,

You set Your children free.

 

El Shaddai, El Shaddai,

El-Elyon na Adonia,

Age to age You're still the same,

By the power of the name.

El Shaddai, El Shaddai,

Erkamka na Adonai,

We will praise and lift You high,

El Shaddai.

 

Through the years You've made it clear,

That the time of Christ was near,

Though the people couldn't see

What Messiah ought to be.

Though Your Word contained the plan,

They just could not understand

Your most awesome work was done

Through the frailty of Your Son.

 

El Shaddai, El Shaddai,

El-Elyon na Adonai,

Age to age You're still the same,

By the power of the name.

El Shaddai, El Shaddai,

Erkamka na Adonai,

I will praise and lift You high,

El Shaddai.

 

El Shaddai, El Shaddai,

El-Elyon na Adonai,

Age to age You're still the same,

By the power of the name.

El Shaddai, El Shaddai,

Erkamka na Adonai,

I will praise and lift You high,

El Shaddai.

GARETH GATES LYRICS

 

"What My Heart Wants To Say"

 

You're amazing

So amazing

Have I told you

Enough

You're my angel

Guardian angel

God knows I've been blessed with love

 

But if I been gone tomorrow

Would you know how deep my loves goes

Have I ever told you

You're the one

 

If the words don't come my way

Hope its still love

Hope it still shows

If the words don't come my way

Hope you still know what my heart wants to say

 

A love so tender

I surrender

To this feeling

So true

My affirmation

My inspiration

Darling I have been blessed with you

 

If the words don't come my way

Hope you still know

Hope it still shows

If the words don't come my way

I hope you still know what my heart wants to say

 

But if I be gone tomorrow

Would you know how deep my loves goes

If I was gone forever

Would you know how much I care

 

You make me feel like flying

I'm sailing on your ocean

That everytime you look at me

You see it in my eyes

 

If the words don't come my way

I hope you still know

 

If the words don't come my way

I hope you still know

I hope it still shows

 

If the words don't come my way

I hope you still know

What my heart wants to say

 

If the words don't come my way

I hope you still know

Hope it still shows

 

If the worst don't come my way

I hope you still know

I hope it still shows

I hope still you know

What my heart wants to say

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed

Turn down these voices inside my head

Lay down with me, tell me no lies

Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me

 

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't

You can't make your heart feel something it won't

Here in the dark, in these final hours

I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power

But you won't, no you won't

'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

 

 

I'll close my eyes, then I won't see

The love you don't feel when you're holding me

Morning will come and I'll do what's right

Just give me till then to give up this fight

And I will give up this fight

 

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't

You can't make your heart feel something it won't

Here in the dark, in these final hours

I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power

But you won't, no you won't

'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

"The Voice of Truth"

by Casting Crowns

 

Oh what I would do to have

The kind of faith it takes

To climb out of this boat I'm in

Onto the crashing waves

 

To step out of my comfort zone

Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is

And He's holding out His hand

 

But the waves are calling out my name

And they laugh at me

Reminding me of all the times

I've tried before and failed

The waves they keep on telling me

Time and time again. 'Boy, you'll never win!'

'You'll never win!'

 

Chorus:

But the voice of truth tells me a different story

The voice of truth says, 'Do not be afraid!'

The voice of truth says, 'This is for My glory'

Out of all the voices calling out to me

I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

 

Oh what I would do to have

The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant

With just a sling and a stone

Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors

Shaking in their armor

Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

 

But the giant's calling out my name

And he laughs at me

Reminding me of all the times

I've tried before and failed

The giant keeps on telling me

Time and time again. 'Boy you'll never win!'

'You'll never win!'

 

But the stone was just the right size

To put the giant on the ground

And the waves they don't seem so high

From on top of them lookin' down

I will soar with the wings of eagles

When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus

Singing over me

 

I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

"Photograph"

by Nickelback

 

Look at this photograph

Every time I do it makes me laugh

How did our eyes get so red?

And what the hell is on Joey’s head?

 

This is where I grew up

I think the present owner fixed it up

I never knew we ever went without

The second floor is hard for sneakin’ out

 

This is where I went to school

Most of the time had better things to do

Criminal record says I broke in twice

I must’ve done it half a dozen times

 

I wonder if it’s too late

Should I go back and try to graduate

Life’s better now than it was back then

If I was them, I wouldn’t let me in

 

Every memory of looking out the back door

I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor

It’s hard to say

It’s time to say it

Goodbye, Goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door

I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for

 

It's hard to say

It’s time to say it

Goodbye, Goodbye

 

Remember the old arcade

Blew every dollar that we ever made

The cops hated us hangin’ out

They say somebody went and burned it down

 

We used to listen to the radio

And sing along with every song we’d know

We said someday we’d find out how it feels

To sing to more than just the steering wheel

 

Kim’s the first girl I kissed

I was so nervous that I nearly missed

She’s had a couple of kids since then

I haven’t seen her since God knows when

 

I miss that town

I miss their faces

You can’t erase

You can’t replace it

I miss it now

I can’t believe it

So hard to stay

Too hard to leave it

If I could relive those days

I know the one thing that would never change

 

Look at this photograph

Every time I do it makes me laugh

Every time I do it makes me

the only thing that's real

the needle tears a hole

the old familiar sting

try to kill it all away

but I remember everything

what have I become?

my sweetest friend

everyone I know

goes away in the end

and you could have it all

my empire of dirt

 

I will let you down

I will make you hurt

 

I wear this crown of thorns

upon my liar's chair

full of broken thoughts

I cannot repair

beneath the stains of time

the feelings disappear

you are someone else

I am still right here

 

what have I become?

my sweetest friend

everyone I know

goes away in the end

and you could have it all

my empire of dirt

 

I will let you down

I will make you hurt

 

if I could start again

a million miles away

I would keep myself

I would find a way

"A Sunday Kind of Love"

by Etta James

 

I want a Sunday kind of love

A love to last past Saturday night

And I'd like to know it's more than love at first sight

And I want a Sunday kind of love

Oh yea yea

 

I want a a love that's on the square

Can't seem to find somebody

Someone to care

And I'm on a lonely road that leads to no where

I need a Sunday kind of love

 

I do my Sunday dreaming, Oh yea

And all my Sunday scheming

Every minute, every hour, every day

 

Oh I'm hoping to discover

A certain kind of lover

Who will show me the way

 

And my arms need someone

Someone to enfold

To keep me warm when Mondays and Tuesdays grow cold

Love for all my life to have and to hold

Oh and I want a Sunday kind of love

Oh yea yea yea

 

I don't want a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, or Thursday, Friday or Saturday

Oh nothing but Sunday oh yea

I want a Sunday Sunday

I want a Sunday kind of love

Oh yea

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday kind of loooove.

Lyrics to the Andy Griffith show theme

"Fishin' Hole"

 

Well, now, take down your fishin pole and meet me at the fishin hole,

We may not get a bite all day, but don’t you rush away.

What a great place to rest your bones and mighty fine for skippin stones,

You’ll feel fresh as a lemonade, a-settin in the shade.

Whether it’s hot, whether it’s cool, oh what a spot for whistlin like a fool.

 

What a fine day to take a stroll & wander by The fishin hole,

I can’t think of a better way to pass the time o’ day.

We’ll have no need to call the roll when we get to The fishin hole,

There’ll be you, me, and Old Dog Trey, to doodle time away.

If we don’t hook a perch or bass, we’ll cool our toes in dewy grass,

Or else pull up a weed to chaw, and maybe set and jaw.

 

Hangin around, takin our ease,

watchin that hound a-scratchin at his fleas.

 

Come on, take down your fishin pole and meet me at The fishin hole,

I can’t think of a better way to pass the time o’ day.

 

 

What can I say? It's one of my favorite tv shows.

There are times I think I'd love moving my family to the fictional town of Meyberry. :assimilated:

"I Want to Know You More"

by Sonic Flood

 

In the secret, in the quiet place

In the stillness You are there

In the secret, in the quiet hour

I wait only for You

Cause, I want to know You more

 

Chorus:

I want to know You

I want to hear Your voice

I want to know You more

I want to touch You

I want to see Your face

I want to know You more

 

I am reaching for the highest goal

That I might receive the prize

Pressing onword, pushing every hindrance aside

Out of my way

Cause, I want to know You more

 

Chorus

 

(not spam... :lol: my lyrics lounge posts are days apart)*

This song just has me dancing, really wackily. It's got funkehh lyrics, and makes me jump and twist and do loads of stuff.

 

Franz Ferdinand - The Fallen

 

So they say you're trouble, boy

Just because you like to destroy

All the things that bring the idiots joy

Well, what's wrong with a little destruction?

 

And the Kunst won't talk to you

Because you kissed St Rollox Adieu

Because you robbed a supermarket or two

Well, who gives a damn about the prophets of Tesco?

 

Did I see you in a limousine

Flinging out the fish and the unleavened

Turn the rich into wine

Walk on the mean

For the fallen walk among us

Walk among us

Never judge us

Yeah we're all...

 

Up now and get 'em, boy

Up now and get 'em, boy

Drink to the devil

Death to the doctors

 

Did I see you in a limousine

Flinging out the fish and the unleavened

Five thousand users fed today

As you feed us

Won't you lead us

To be blessed

 

So we stole and drank champagne

On the seventh seal you said you never feel pain

"I never feel pain, won't you hit me again?"

"I need a bit of black and blue to be a rotation"

 

In my blood I feel the bubbles burst

There was a flash of fist, an eyebrow burst

You've a lazy laugh and a red white shirt

I fall to the floor fainting at the sight of blood

 

Did I see you in a limousine

Flinging out the fish and the unleavened

Turn the rich into wine

Walk on the mean

Be they Magdalen or virgin you've already been

You've already been and we've already seen

That the fallen are the virtuous among us

Walk among us

Never judge us

to be blessed

 

So I'm sorry if I ever resisted

I never had a doubt that you ever existed

I only have a problem when people insist on

Taking their hate and placing it on your name

 

So they say you're trouble, boy

Just because you like to destroy

You are the word, the word is DESTROY

I break this bottle and think of you fondly

 

Did I see you in a limousine

Flinging out the fish and the unleavened

To the whore in a hostel

Or the scum of a scheme

Turn the rich into wine

Walk on the mean

It's not a jag in the arm

It's a nail in the beam

On this barren earth

You scatter your seed

Be they Magdalen or virgin

You've already been

Yeah, you've already been

and we've already seen

That the fallen are the virtuous among us

Walk among us

If you judge us

We're all damned

Evanescence

My Immortal

 

 

i'm so tired of being here

suppressed by all of my childish fears

and if you have to leave

i wish that you would just leave

because your presence still lingers here

and it won't leave me alone

 

these wounds won't seem to heal

this pain is just too real

there's just too much that time cannot erase

 

when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears

when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears

and i've held your hand through all of these years

but you still have all of me

 

you used to captivate me

by your resonating light

but now i'm bound by the life you left behind

your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams

your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

 

these wounds won't seem to heal

this pain is just too real

there's just too much that time cannot erase

 

when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears

when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears

and i've held your hand through all of these years

but you still have all of me

 

i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone

and though you're still with me

i've been alone all along

Evanescence

My Immortal

:drool: Probably my FAVORITE Evanescence songs.

 

My family keeps saying it is "my song", even though it is my little niece's lullaby.

 

During karaoke at this one festival my sister sang & dedicated it to her daughter. But had to call me up to help her sing it because she got crying so much (her daughter was still recovering from a stomach flu, and stayed here at home with my sister's in laws while we went to perform out of state). She missed her SOOOO much! :)

 

I went next on the Karaoke and sang Bring Me To Life which I dedicated to my best friend whom I miss so much. I have that song as a ringtone on my phone, and I like singing it :)

 

Bring Me To Life by Evanescence

How can you see into my eyes

like open doors.

Leading you down into my core

where I've become so numb.

Without a soul

my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold

until you find it there and lead it back home.

 

(Wake me up.

Wake me up inside.

I can't wake up.

Wake me up inside.

Save me.

Call my name and save me from the dark.

Wake me up.

Bid my blood to run.

I can't wake up.

Before I come undone.

Save me.

Save me from the nothing I've become.)

 

Now that I know what I'm without

you can't just leave me.

Breathe into me and make me real

Bring me to life.

 

[Chorus]

 

Bring me to life.

I've been living a lie

There's nothing inside.

Bring me to life.

 

Frozen inside without your touch,

without your love, darling.

Only you are the life among the dead.

 

All of this sight

I can't believe I couldn't see

Kept in the dark

but you were there in front of me

 

I've been sleeping a 1000 years it seems.

I've got to open my eyes to everything.

 

Without a thought

Without a voice

Without a soul

 

Don't let me die here

There must be something wrong.

Bring me to life.

 

[Chorus]

 

Bring me to life.

I've been living a lie

There's nothing inside.

 

Bring me to life

It is what I am listening & singing along to right now. :bow:

 

Nil Sé Ina La - sung by Clannad

Chuaigh mé isteach i dteach aréir

Is d'iarr mé cairde ar mhnaoi an leanna

Is é dúirt sí liom "Ní bhfaighidh tú deor

Buail an bóthar is gabh abhaile"

 

Chorus:

Níl sé'n lá, ná na lá

Níl sé'n lá is ní bheidh go maidin

Níl sé'n lá, ná na lá

Solas ard atá sa ghealaigh

 

Chuir mé féin mo lámh i mo phóca

Is d'iarr mé briseadh scillinge uirthi

Is é dúirt sí liom "Suigh síos ag bord

Is bí ag ól anseo go maidin"

 

(Chorus)

 

"Éirigh i do shuí, a fhear an tí

Cuir ort do bhrístí is do hata

Go gcoinne tú ceol leis an duine cóir

A bheas ag ól anseo go maidin"

 

(Chorus)

 

"Éirigh i do shuí, a fhear an tí

Cuir ort do bhrístí is do hata

Go gcoinne tú ceol leis an duine cóir

A bheas ag ól anseo go maidin"

 

(Chorus...)
