Ride A Black Swan - Zwan
A black swan rode me into my place of destiny
To love, to feel so madly
Stubborn to disagree
With people who think that life is just a memory
To be denied
I'll take this picture for ages
Of just you and I
As the world goes 'round
It's got me thinking
That the things I want
Just keep me sinking down
A white horse picks my dreams up
To take my hopes to god
My prayers have nestled brightly
To dim my sense of awe
I want you to be someone I can't deny
A house of fire
I want you to be something I realize
As the world goes 'round
It's got me thinking
That the things I want
Just keep me sinking down
As the world goes 'round
It's got me thinking
That the things I want
Will keep me sinking down
Remove my spirit from darkness
Love become my heaven
As the world goes 'round with our love
I want you to be my message
I want you to be my friend
I want you to be that answer
An answer I must defend
I want us to solve our distrust of everyone
And trust in god
I want us to solve our distrust of who we are
As the world goes 'round
It's got me thinking
Ihat the things I want
Just keep me sinking down
As the world goes 'round
It's got me thinking
That the things I want
Just keep me sinking down
As the world goes 'round with our love
As the world goes 'round with our love
Remove my spirit from darkness
Love become my heaven
Remove my spirit from darkness
Love become my heaven
Remove my spirit from darkness
Love become my heaven
As the world goes 'round with our love
As the world goes 'round with our love
Song Lyrics
"Edge Of The Earth" - 30 Seconds to Mars
You know enough to know the way
Six billion people just one name (I found)
I found tomorrow in today
Apocalyptic and insane, my dreams will never change
You wanna be the one in control
You wanna be the one who's alive
You wanna be the one who's old
It's not a matter of luck, it's just a matter of time
Stand out on the edge of the earth
Stand out on the edge of the earth
Dive into the center of fate
Walk right inside of the gun
Look into the new future's face
I know you know enough to say
I know you know enough to play a game
You wanna be the one in control
You wanna be the one who's alive
You wanna be the one who's old
It's not a matter of luck, it's just a matter of time
Stand out on the edge of the earth
Dive into the center ??
Walk right inside of ??
Look into the still future space
Stand out on the edge of the earth
Dive into the center of fate
Walk right inside of the gun
Look into the new future's face
(Stand out on the edge of the earth)
Stand out on the edge of the earth
Stand out on the edge of the earth
(Look into the new future's face)
Stand out on the edge of the earth
Dive into the center of fate
Walk right inside of the gun
Look into the new future's face
You know enough to know the way
Six billion people just one name (I found)
I found tomorrow in today
Apocalyptic and insane, my dreams will never change
You wanna be the one in control
You wanna be the one who's alive
You wanna be the one who's old
It's not a matter of luck, it's just a matter of time
Stand out on the edge of the earth
Stand out on the edge of the earth
Dive into the center of fate
Walk right inside of the gun
Look into the new future's face
I know you know enough to say
I know you know enough to play a game
You wanna be the one in control
You wanna be the one who's alive
You wanna be the one who's old
It's not a matter of luck, it's just a matter of time
Stand out on the edge of the earth
Dive into the center ??
Walk right inside of ??
Look into the still future space
Stand out on the edge of the earth
Dive into the center of fate
Walk right inside of the gun

(Stand out on the edge of the earth)
Stand out on the edge of the earth
Stand out on the edge of the earth

Stand out on the edge of the earth
Dive into the center of fate
Walk right inside of the gun
Look into the new future's face

OK, Ill bite...you want Edge lyrics? Ill give you some Edge lyrics 
Really harsh and serious lyrics from a band that fluctuates between seriousness/deepness, and popish/flat/meaningless lyrics...so this was one of their better lyrical songs, though it was not a hit.
Edge of America -by Duran Duran
Walk the edge of America
A concrete beach to scrape my hand
inside the subway stinking fear and shame
becomes the violent breath
Vigilantes out on dawn patrol
but now there's nothing left to hide
I'm just a number on the metal fence
which marks the great divide
Hey boy
give your dreams a rest
if you're tired of searching
this is where it ends
there's nothing left to lose
nothing to protest
learn to love your anger now
anger here is all you possess
welcome to the age
Below the towers of the citadel
Seems someone overlooked the cost
Forgotten soldier of paradise
now paradise is lost
Recognition never realized
Salvation lost among the crowd
So tell me beside this sterile sea
where is your nation now?
And we say
Hey boy
give your dreams a rest
if you're tired of searching
this is where it ends
there's nothing left to lose
nothing to protest
learn to love your anger now
anger here is all you possess
welcome to the age

“Caw, Caw!” The call of the wild calls you. Are you listening? Do you dare challenge their power? Do you dare invade? Nature will always triumph in the end.

EVANESCENCE
"Imaginary"
i linger in the doorway
of alarm clock screaming monsters calling my name
let me stay
where the wind will whisper to me
where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story
in my field of paper flowers
and candy clouds of lullaby
i lie inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me
don't say i'm out of touch
with this rampant chaos - your reality
i know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
the nightmare i built my own world to escape
in my field of paper flowers
and candy clouds of lullaby
i lie inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me
swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
oh how i long for the deep sleep dreaming
the goddess of imaginary light

A man has his own way
Each moment in time
The innocence of a child, in his eyes
Moments they were precious few
My memories of you
Answers are hard
To questions of the heart
Can't hold you, please hear me
I'll tell you that I love you
Can you see me, are you listening
In heaven above
A champion, a hero
A star in the sky
Hurray for the hero
The hero in all our hearts
A castle, a strange emptiness
An unbroken bond
With strength and forgiveness
For memories of the heart
The world revolving each day
A king and his queen
A place for a hero
In everlasting love
Can't hold you, please hear me
I'll tell you that I love you
Can you see me, are you listening
In heaven above
Chorus
The world of so long ago
Was so different then
But keep it together
We'll make it, he's made it to heaven

"Death of Seasons"
Of late, it's harder just to go outside
To leave this deadspace with hatred, so alive
Writhing with sickness, thrown into banality, I decay
Killed by the weakness, but forced to return, turn it off
I watch the stars as they fall from the sky
I held a fallen star and it wept for me, dying
I feel the fallen stars encircle me now, as they cry
Out there so quickly grows malignant tribes
Posthuman extinction excels unrecognized
Feeling surrounded, so bored with mortality, I decay
All of this hatred is fuking real, turn it on... yeah
I watch the stars as they fall from the sky
I held a fallen star and it wept for me, dying
I feel the fallen stars encircle me now, as they cry
It won't be all right despite what they say
Just watch the stars tonight as they, as they disappear, disintegrate
And I disintegrate 'cause this hate is fuking real
And I hope to shade the world as stars go out and I disintegrate

I love the time and in between
the calm inside me
in the space where I can breathe
I believe there is a
distance I have wandered
to touch upon the years of
reaching out and reaching in
holding out holding in
I believe
this is heaven to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as I can be
left here to linger in silence
if I choose to
would you try to understand
I know this love is passing time
passing through like liquid
I am drunk in my desire...
but I love the way you smile at me
I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near...
I believe...
I believe
this is heaven to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
if I choose to
would you try to understand
Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free
the mold that clings like desperation
Mother can't you see I've got
to live my life the way I feel is right for me
might not be right for you but it's right for me...
I believe...
I believe
this is heaven to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
if I choose to

I would like to linger here in silence
if I choose to
would you understand it
would you try to understand...

Magna of Illusion
Blue Öyster Cult
From the album Imaginos
Cornwall and the harbor
Where witches went mad more than once and
Until this day
In dreams at least
The lighthouse at Lost Christabel
Squat and hugely tilts
Upon the strand where Grandad's house was built
And having stood the test of time
The starry gale the bloody tide
Grandad's house though gaped with hooks
And filled with books
Could stand no more until
A certain prophecy
Once read - now stood
Before the world fulfilled
Now of these books in Grandad's keep
Some of them were new but mostly they were old
And the oldest was a scroll
A prophecy that read
When the riddle begins
The story will end
August the First 1892
And in the guise of destiny
Grandad quit Cornwall
"I'm a captain of a ship
My ship is charmed, and called Plutonia."
Stories on land, storms at sea
'Tween 1892 and '93
When Grandad sailed for Mexico
Ships charmed and ordinary
Sailed the glidepath to the sun
And when the sun proved false
As it always does
Some of them would be lost
And some would sail back home
It was no star
But a magna of illusion
I mean by that
The mirror found
In the chamber of jade grown like a seed
Deep within the ground
The mirror found
By one man
So on and off again
He sailed the Europe's rim
On and off, off and on
Until his time had come
Through tears and smiles
The last domain
The rods of broken crystal
On and off, and off again
Until his time had come
Late to the story that had been
But early to the riddle not yet begun
August the First 1893
The charmed ship Plutonia
Sailed like a ray into Cornwall
And none too soon it seems
That night the Captain's granddaughter
Would celebrate her birthday
"I've come a long way," said the Captain
"From Lost Christabel this night
Accompanied by my dog familiar
To blast your rafters with my surprise!
Granddaughter, it's a foreign mirror
Taken from the jungle by crime!"
Stories on land, storms at sea
'Tween 1892 and '93
When Grandad sailed for Mexico
When tables collapse
And floors have filled
And the party's over, it's all over
Sea-dogs and rockers will dwell on doom
I've warped the stuff of ground
What seems to be is not
Behind closed eyes
Realize your sight
Mine, granddaughter, proves a surprise
More light than sun
More dark than night then
More a snare than lust

After the love has gone
Earth, Wind and Fire or Phill Perry
For awhile to love was all we could do
we were young and we knew
and our eyes were alive
Deep inside we knew our love was true
For awhile we paid no mind to the past
we knew love would last
Ev'ry night somethin' right
would invite us to begin the dance
Somethin' happened along the way
what used to be happy was sad
Somethin' happened along the way
and yesterday was all we had
And oh after the love has gone
how could you lead me on
and not let me stay around
Oh oh oh afterthe love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
For awhile to love each other with all
we would ever need
Love was strong for so long
never knew that what was
wrong oh baby wasn't right
We tried to find what we had
till sadness was all we shared
We were scared this affair would lead our love into
Somethin' happened along the way
yesterday was all we had
Somethin' happened along the way
what used to be happy is sad
Somethin' happened along the way
oh yesterday was all we had
And oh after the love has gone
how could you lead me on

The Mob Rules
Lyrics by Ronnie James Dio
Close the city and tell the people that something's coming to call...
Death and darkness are rushing forward
To take a bite from the wall.
You've nothing to say?
They're breaking away...
If you listen to fools.
The mob rules...
The mob rules.
Kill the spirit and you'll be blinded - the end is always the same;
Play with fire, you burn your fingers and lose your hold on the flame.
It's over, it's done...
The end has begun.
If you listen to fools -
The mob rules.
You've nothing to say?
Oh, they're breaking away...
If you listen to fools.
Break the circle and stop the movement,
The wheel is thrown to the ground.
Just remember it might stop rolling,
And take you right back around.
You're all fools....
The mob rules.
The Sign of the Southern Cross
Lyrics by Ronnie James Dio
If there isn't light when no one sees,
Then how can I know what you might believe?
A story told that can't be real...
Somehow must reflect the truth we feel.
Fade away, fade away...
Vanish into small.
Fade away, fade away
Break the crystal ball.
It's the sign...
Feels like a time...
On a small world west of wonder,
Somewhere, nowhere - all!
There's a rainbow that will shimmer,
When the summer falls.
If an echo doesn't answer
When it hears a certain song,
Then the beast is free to wander...
But never is seen around.
And it's the sign of the Southern Cross....
It's the sign of the Southern Cross.
Sail away to the sign...
From the book the word is spoken,
Whispers from forgotten psalms;
Gather all around the young ones
They will make us strong.
Reach above your dreams of pleasure,
Give a life to those who died...
Look beyond your own horizons,
Sail the ship of sign.
And it's the sign of the Southern Cross...
It's the sign of the Southern Cross.
Fade away, fade away,
Break the crystal ball.
Fade away, fade away...
I can't accept it anymore.
On a real world west of wonder,
Somewhere, nowhere - Oh!
There's a rainbow, see it shimmer...
When the summer falls.
From the book the word is spoken;
Whispers from forgotten psalms;
Gather all around the young ones,
They will make us strong.
It's the sign of the Southern Cross...
It's the sign of the Southern Cross.
Don't live for pleasure...
Make life your treasure...
Fade away.
Eight miles high about to fall, and no one there to catch you.
Look for the sign, the time.
The sign of the Southern Cross, fade on...
Over and Over
Lyrics by Ronnie James Dio
Sometimes I feel like I'm dyin' at dawn...
And sometimes I'm warm as fire.
But lately I feel like I'm just gonna rain...
And it goes over and over, and over again.
Too many flames, with too much to burn...
And life's only made of paper.
Oh how I need to be free of this pain,
Watch, it goes over and over, and over and over again.
Oh, and sometimes I cry for the lost and alone...
And for their dreams that will all be ashes.
But lately I feel like I'm just gonna rain...
And it goes over and over, and over and over again.
Over and over, and over again.

Sail away to the sign...
From the book the word is spoken,
Whispers from forgotten psalms;
Gather all around the young ones
They will make us strong.
Reach above your dreams of pleasure,
Give a life to those who died...
Look beyond your own horizons,
Sail the ship of sign.
And it's the sign of the Southern Cross...
It's the sign of the Southern Cross.
Fade away, fade away,
Break the crystal ball.
Fade away, fade away...
I can't accept it anymore.
On a real world west of wonder,
Somewhere, nowhere - Oh!
There's a rainbow, see it shimmer...
When the summer falls.
From the book the word is spoken;
Whispers from forgotten psalms;
Gather all around the young ones,
They will make us strong.
It's the sign of the Southern Cross...
It's the sign of the Southern Cross.
Don't live for pleasure...
Make life your treasure...
Fade away.
Eight miles high about to fall, and no one there to catch you.
Look for the sign, the time.
The sign of the Southern Cross, fade on...
Over and Over
Lyrics by Ronnie James Dio
Sometimes I feel like I'm dyin' at dawn...
And sometimes I'm warm as fire.
But lately I feel like I'm just gonna rain...
And it goes over and over, and over again.
Too many flames, with too much to burn...
And life's only made of paper.
Oh how I need to be free of this pain,
Watch, it goes over and over, and over and over again.
Oh, and sometimes I cry for the lost and alone...
And for their dreams that will all be ashes.
But lately I feel like I'm just gonna rain...
And it goes over and over, and over and over again.
Over and over, and over again.
CYNIC, n.:
A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be.

"Pretty"
By Korn
So... so love.
Wait, but I don't realize.
Somehow, why lay?
Broke, the pain between her thighs
I see your pretty face,
Smashed against the bathroom floor!
What a disgrace!
Who do I feel sorry for?
Skin... so cold.
Could, could someone steal a life?
Save... the blame.
Wait, I got some **** to say.
I see your pretty face,
smashed against the bathroom floor!
What a disgrace!
Who do I feel sorry for?
Smashed and raped!
Not again. This is a real crime.
What a pretty face.
Who do I feel sorry for?
RAPE! Something...
NOW! Rips my...
HEART! And takes...
MY! Soul I...
WAIT! Too late...
NOW! I feel...
RAPED! Inside...
DEATH! My soul away....
Away....
I see your pretty face,
smashed against the bathroom floor!
What a disgrace!
Who do I feel sorry for?
Smashed and raped!
Not again. This is a real crime.
What a pretty face.

The Dark Night of the Soul
The dark night of the soul
Upon a darkened night
the flame of love was burning in my breast
And by a lantern bright
I fled my house while all in quiet rest
Shrouded by the night
and by the secret stair I quickly fled
The veil concealed my eyes
while all within lay quiet as the dead
Chorus
Oh night thou was my guide
oh night more loving than the rising sun
Oh night that joined the lover
to the beloved one
transforming each of them into the other
Upon that misty night
in secrecy, beyond such mortal sight
Without a guide or light
than that which burned so deeply in my heart
That fire t'was led me on
and shone more bright than of the midday sun
To where he waited still
it was a place where no one else could come
Chorus
Within my pounding heart
which kept itself entirely for him
He fell into his sleep
beneath the cedars all my love I gave
And by the fortress walls
the wind would brush his hair against his brow
And with its smoothest hand
caressed my every sense it would allow
Chorus
I lost myself to him
and laid my face upon my lovers breast
And care and grief grew dim
as in the mornings mist became the light
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair

Loreena writes in the CD booklet about this song:
May, 1993 - Stratford ... have been reading through the poetry of 15th century Spain, and I find myself drawn to one by the mystic writer and visionary St. John of the Cross; the untitled work is an exquisite, richly metaphoric love poem between himself and his god. It could pass as a love poem between any two at any time ... His approach seems more akin to early Islamic or Judaic works in its more direct route to communication to his god ... I have gone over three different translations of the poem, and am struck by how much a translation can alter our interpretation. Am reminded that most holy scriptures come to us in translation, resulting in a diversity of views.

A song for BS
I Got Drunk
--Uncle Tupelo
Well I took a fifth, and I poured me a shot
And I thought about all the things that I haven't got
And I drank that down, and I poured me some more
Kept drinking and pouring till I felt the floor
I got drunk and I fell down
I got drunk and I fell down
Another slow day in this damn town
Keep asking yourself "why am I still hangin' around?"
You spend half your time just staring into a beer
What you need, man, you can't find here
I got drunk and I fell down
I got drunk and I fell down
Well I took a fifth, and I poured me a shot
And I thought about all the things that I haven't got
And I drank that down, and I poured me some more
Kept drinking and pouring till I felt the floor
I got drunk and I fell down
I got drunk and I fell down
I got drunk and I fell down
I got drunk and I fell down
I Got Drunk
--Uncle Tupelo

And I thought about all the things that I haven't got
And I drank that down, and I poured me some more

I got drunk and I fell down
Another slow day in this damn town
Keep asking yourself "why am I still hangin' around?"
You spend half your time just staring into a beer
What you need, man, you can't find here
I got drunk and I fell down

Well I took a fifth, and I poured me a shot
And I thought about all the things that I haven't got
And I drank that down, and I poured me some more
Kept drinking and pouring till I felt the floor
I got drunk and I fell down
I got drunk and I fell down
I got drunk and I fell down
I got drunk and I fell down

Dante's prayer
When the dark wood fell before me
And all the paths were overgrown
When the priests of pride say there is no other way
I tilled the sorrows of stone
I did not believe because I could not see
Though you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars
Chorus:
Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Then the mountain rose before me
By the deep well of desire
From the fountain of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and the fire
Chorus
Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars
Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares
Chorus
Please remember me
Please remember me, ...

Take a look overhead
Hey, there

At the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light
He arrives just in time.

Myxomatosis
the mongrel cat came home
holding half a head
proceeded to show it off
to all his new found friends
he said i been where i liked
i slept with who i like
she ate me up for breakfast
she screwed me in a vice
but now
i don't know why
i feel so tongue-tied
i sat in the cupboard
and wrote it down real neat
they were cheering and waving
cheering and waving
twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis
but it got edited mixed up
strangled beaten up
used in a photo in time magazine
buried in a burning black hole in devon
i don’t know why i
feel so tongue-tied
don’t know why
i feel
so skinned alive.
my thoughts are misguided and a little naive
i twitch and i salivate like with myxomatosis
you should put me in a home or you should put me down
i got myxomatosis

I LOVE THE WORLD
(Sullivan/Heaton) 1988
The roll of distant thunder breaks, the afternoon of silence wakes
They hurry through from Petergate as if they know this dance
In fury blind, I drive at night across the moors, the open roads
Beneath the freezing starry skies, racing in some trance
These cities are illusions of some triumph over Nature's laws
We've seen the iron carcass rust and buildings topple into dust
And as the waters rise, it seems we cling to all the rootless things
The Christian lies, technology, while spirits scream and sing
Chorus:
Oh God I love the world
I love the world
I love the world
I love the world
I love the world
I love the world
I love the world
I love the world
I love the world
(repeat)
Well I never said I was a clever man but I know enough to understand
That the endless leaps and forward plans will someday have to cease
You blind yourselves with comfort lies like lightning never strikes you twice
And we laugh at your amazed surprise as the Ark begins to sink
This temple that is built so well to separate us from ourselves
Is a power grown beyond control, a will without a face
And watching from outside I wish that I could wash my hands of this
But we are locked together here, this bittersweet embrace
Chorus:
And if one day the final fire explodes across the whitened sky
I know you've said you'd rather die and make it over fast
With courage from your bravest friends, waiting outside for the end
With no bitterness but an innocence that I can't seem to grasp
I know somehow I will survive - this fury just to stay alive
So drunk with sickness, weak with pain, I can walk the hills one last time
Scarred and smiling, dying slow, I'll scream to no one left at all
I told you so, I told you so, I told you so ...
Chorus:

Smalltown England
Turn left at the lights about 50 yards down
There's a pub in the corner and I'll meet you inside
About quarter to eight and we'll go into town
And find out what everybody's been saying about us
Smalltown walls have eyes and ears
Stories fly thick and fast round here
Truth and lies are all the same
Whatever you do don't rock the boat
You've got to play the game, play the game
Chorus:
Is it a crime to want something else?
Is it a crime to believe in something different?
Is it a crime to want to make things happen?
To spit in the faces of the cynical fools
The incrowd know that the shell is thin
So they all protect the cage they're in
Get drunk and stoned and wrecked again
No tears of rage, no cries of pain
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
In smalltown England
Because the world outside the pint in hand
Is all so hard to understand
And if visions of the world come clear
They're not allowed to interfere
Chorus:
Is it a crime to want something else? . . .
The smell of hot food from the takeaway curry
Diesel fumes from a passing lorry
Waiting in the queue in the pouring rain
For the chip shop up on Bowling Lane
Well, last week we all got really smashed
We couldn't stand up, it was a real laugh
And this week's going to be just the same
And the next and the next, again and again
They say you've got to have fun while you're young
'Cause they can't believe there's anything else except this.
