Battle Hymn - ManowaR

By Moonlight We Ride
Ten Thousand Side By Side
With Swords Drawn Held High
Our Whips And Armor Shine

Hail To Thee Our Infantry
Still Brave Beyond The Grave
All Sworn The Eternal Vow
The Time To Strike Is Now

Kill Kill

Gone Are The Days When Freedom Shone
Now Blood And Steel Meet Bone
In The Light Of The Battle’s Wake
The Sands Of Time Will Shake
How Proud Our Soldiers Stand
With Mace And Chain In Hand
Sound The Charge Into Glory Ride
Over The Top Of Their Vanquished Pride

Victory Victory

To The Battle We Ride
We Crossed A Starlit Sky
No Space No Time
We’ll Catch The Wind
Strange Losses Men Died
We Crossed A Starlit Sky
And Still No Space And Time
We’ll Catch The Wind

Kill Kill

Sound The Charge Into Glory Ride
Over The Top Of Their Vanquished Pride
By Moonlight We Ride
Ten Thousand Side By Side

Kill Kill

Metallica-for whom the bell toss

Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On the fight, for they are right, yes, by who's to say?
For a hill men would kill, why? They do not know
Suffered wounds test there their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

Take a look to the sky just before you die
It is the last time you will
Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now the will see what will be, blinded eyes to see

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

Fool's Garden-Lemon Tree

i'm sitting here in the boring room
It's just another rainy sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and i wonder

I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and i wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that i can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that i can see is just another lemon-tree

I'm sitting here
I miss the power
I'd like to go out taking a shower
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head



I feel so tired
Put myself into bed
While nothing ever happens and i wonder

Isolation is not good for me
Isolation i don't want to sit on the lemon-tree

I'm steppin' around in the desert of joy
Baby anyhow i'll get another toy
And everything will happen and you wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that i can see is just another lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that i can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
And i wonder, wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that i can see, and all that i can see, and all that i can see
Is just a yellow lemon-tree

I was going to post the lyrics for "Move It", but I've a feeling even without swearing it wouldn't be acceptable. Denethorn should appreciate this post. All three are from the album "Life" by Dope
So, here's another song on the same album I happen to love. It's a lot like the thought process of what keeps me up just about every night.


Another one, my ex Jen does NOT like this song at all, especially after I played it for her when we broke up. Parts of it really, really fit her too, I think that might be why she hates it so much.
This one, reminds me of my last relationship. Ah, too much reflection of past relationships this last week.

Symphony x- In the Dragons Den

Placid skies, through crystal gazing eyes
Slaves to our desire, in a ring of smoke and fire
The dungeons call, two faces on the wall
Candles light the way, for a moonlight serenade

Through the nights and days, we will find a way
A way to carry on what we believe

An empty door, ashes on the floor
Hypnotic array of lights, dragons calling throughout the night
Omen in black, chained down to the rack
The end never in sight, soaring through an endless plight

Through the nights and days, we will find a way

Silence fills the shrine, giving us the sign
Forever lost, forever in the dragon's den
Born with second sight, essence burning bright
Forever lost, forever in the dragon's den

Silence fills the shrine, giving us the sign
Forever lost, forever in the dragon's den
Born with second sight, essence burning bright
Forever lost, forever in the dragon's den

Anti-Flag - A new kind of army

LOOK BACK... on history, nothing much has changed
THOUSANDS... of soldiers of all countries, all marching the same
Every nation's leader says that "our side is right
Every nations leader says the time has come to fight
But they use the common people to settle their scores
IT'S TIME THAT WE REFUSE TO FIGHT IN ANY OF THEIR WARS!

We're lookin to start a new army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to die
We're lookin to start a new army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to
kill... for you!

JOIN NOW... the ranks of all nations who refuse to go to war
REFUSE... to pull the trigger of a gun for leaders 'round the world
I'd rather fight to spread some tolerance & unity
Than buy into their nationalistic brainwashing
Killing mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, common human beings
Not savages but people, like you, like me!

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD MEN
WE'RE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD WOMYN
WHO ARE NOT AFRAID TO FIGHT AGAINST TYRANNY
BUT WHO REFUSE TO FIGHT....WITH TYRANNY
REFUSE!!!!!
We're looking to start a new army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to die
We're looking to start a new army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to
kill... FOR YOU!

Ah...song induced memories.

My father, used to get wasted, jump on the end of my bed and scream this song at me to wake me up when I was little. It wasn't the only one, but it's one that's somewhat appropriate and I can put it here (Used to do that with "Go Down" too, but that's just dirty ). Craziness I had to deal with growing up. Who want's to be woken up to their drunken father singing THIS...

Oh, and this one. This one, got me suspended in 6th grade for singing it to a girl. Her name was Candy (dead serious ). She thought it was cute, the teacher's thought it was horrible, my father couldn't stop giggling and played the song "The Jack" by AC/DC for me on the way home from school when they sent me home that day and said to sing that to her instead.



I also felt the need to post the lyrics to Xanidu since Rush has been brought up on the board lately. Another of those gems I had the pleasure of growing up with listening to with dad.

Some more metal lyrics, but not power metal.

Reverend Bizarre - Doom Over the World


Infernal vision I saw, out from the darkness it came to me
Angel in appalling form revealing how the forthcoming days will be
Her voice was hollow and calm, as she told me of things that would soon be here
World full of chaos and death, filling my mind with a constant fear

There will be a gigantic war, the greater part of the world shall be perished
Armies of evil and good prepare to meet each other again
And there I can see myself holding a sword with a blade so black
Other side, there stands thousands of men, all we have is just a handful of puritans

Doom over the world
eternal will be our mission.
Doom over the world!

Corpses are hanging from walls, impaled with spears of destiny
One more time hammers have been raised to crush the skulls of heretics
The aftermath of battle, silent descents, the field is covered with dying men
Strongholds are burning to ash, all that is left is this handful of puritans

She's leaving Home-The Beatles

Wednesday morning at 5 o'clock as the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more.
She goes down stairs to the kitchen clutching a hankerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Steeping outside she is suddenly free.
She (we gave her most of our lives)
is leaving (Sacraficed most of our lives)
home (we gave her everything money could buyA)
She's leaving home after living alone
for so many years bye bye
Father smores as his wife get into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breakes down and cries to her husband
Daddy our baby's gone.
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?
How could she do this to me?
She (we never thought of ourselves)
Is leaving (never thought for our selves
home (we struggled hard all our lives to get by)
She's leaving home after living alone
for so many years bye bye
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the Motor trade
She (what did we do that was wrong?)
is having (we didn't know it was wrong)
Fun Fun is the one thing that money can't buy
Something inside that has always been denied for so many years
She's leaving home bye bye.

Linkin Park - Breaking The Habit

Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again

[Bridge:]
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

[Chorus:]
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again

[Bridge:]
I dont want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

[Chorus:]
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

[Bridge:]
I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends

[Chorus:]
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
to show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit
Tonight

In memorium to those who die for all causes worldwide...

Well, today's memorial day in America, and this song goes out not only to those who died for America, but for those who served honorably for their nation worldwide.

Iced Earth - Ghost of Freedom

Every time you think about it
It tears you up inside
You curse the day your mother
told you, your father died
Now you're always searching
Searching for the reason why I've gone
But I will always be here
By your side, through the darkest night

Here I'll stand on the firing line
Here I'll walk through the field where I died
I will fight and let the voice ring true
I am the ghost
Standing next to you

Every night you go to sleep
You pray the Lord my soul to keep
You don't know I've not gone away
You see I watch over fighting men
So they can have peace again
And maybe someday you will all be free

Here I'll stand on the firing line
Here I'll walk through the field where I died
I will fight and let the voice ring true
I am the ghost
Standing next to you

You speak to me
And I feel your pride
Assuring me I'll never die
I write Mother...
"He's here with me..."
He's in our minds
He's in our souls
Of sacrifice his story's told
He holds the flame of freedom for all to see

Here we stand on the firing line
Here I'll walk in the field where I fight
I will fight of die for liberty
With the ghost standing next to me

Don't tread on me...live free or die!!!
To our fallen brothers
You died to keep us free
To our fallen brothers
Who gave us liberty!!!

World Through My Fateless Eyes - Lost Horizon

In the dawn of me, back at my spring of life
A mystic cry touched my soul
Just like a dream... a shine filled up it's sphere
My mind it was free and the secret's key was for me there

Magic voice that came... strain from another world
Of beauty not to believe
All then I heard was for me like a soul's reverie
And the voice... it sang my name

And through the all painful years that should come
That magic was there by my side
Power that led to I lost fear of death
Hatred that covered its meaning
I hail my senses that help me to see
so clear in my mind
All rotten "truth" and the doctrines which words
make us blind

I see the world through my fateless eyes

Pain be the sign, and the insight the guide
On this journey of unforeseen end
Enlightened by force of the unflagging faith
Through these wastelands I walk my own path
Damn the fate! You're one with your soul
and you must pave it's way by yourself

Out of nowhere the storm is coming on
The blare that surrounds helps me dream in
Enchanting me, while the spirit is rising again
And the storm... it sings my name

So as I walk on the path I believe
The force's always gracing my steps
Now in the name of the new risen will
I shall discomfit my fear!
And when the pinions of knowledge
like thunder, so mighty, will carry me on
All pain and grief and the weakness in me
shall be gone

I see the world through my fateless eyes

Presidents of the United States of America - Dune Buggy

A little blind spider took the wheel
Navigatin' grass blades completely by feel
Got a sassy chassis, sparklin in the sun
All four small bald fat tires
rockin through the sand and burnin' up

Little dune buggy in the sand
little blue dune buggy in my hand

I got a rubber-band motor hummin' on a beach, ready for fun
Quit spinnin' and webbin', come out play in the sun
Eight thimble-sized cylinders, be as smooth as you please
Spider's bad-ass fat old abdomen stuck in the buggy seat

Squishy transmission was caught in drive
Spider man was squinting at the sand in the sky
Spider woman in the front seat, screamin' "Go, Go, Go,"
He's ridin' the accelerator down to the floor with his fuzzy little toe

Little blue dune buggy

This song is just wonderful when you feel the need to escape and get away, even if you can't do so. Especially if you can't do so.

Sting - Shape of my heart

He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He doesn't play for respect

He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart.
That's not the shape, shape of my heart.

And if I told you that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one

Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape, shape of my heart.

Hammerfall - Blood Bound

Countdown, descending down to zero
Bursting into flames
Can´t you see the coming of a hero
On this enchanting day

So stand up and be counted
In the solar glance in the desert sand
No longer the hunted
United we are ´till the day we fall

A chain unbreakable
Every link is allied to our mighty vow

We´re Blood Bound - We aim for the sun
The luminous moon will take us high over ground
We´re Blood Bound - Collecting the stars
We hold a power that is greater than all
We´re Blood Bound

Watch out, the heathen´s all around us
Always watch your back
We´ve got a lust for freedom
Whatever they say we know we´ll stay

We are indestructible
And no matter what happens we will rise above

We´re Blood Bound - We aim for the sun
The luminous moon will take us high over ground
We´re Blood Bound - Collecting the stars
We hold a power that is greater than all
We´re Blood Bound

Look into my eyes
Tell me what is hidden deep inside
Chains about to break
It´s the everlasting freedom for us all

We´re Blood Bound - We aim for the sun
The luminous moon will take us high over ground
We´re Blood Bound - Collecting the stars
We hold a power together

We´re Blood Bound - We aim for the sun
The luminous moon will take us high over ground
We´re Blood Bound - Collecting the stars
We hold a power that is greater than all
We´re Blood Bound

Grimar just sent this song to me. Oh and the band is called Pagan's Mind, not the other way around .

Embracing Fear - Pagan's Mind

Distant voices, calling my name
Echoes from the past
Are haunting me
Different believes, erasing time
I'm watching a world
Of blood red skies

Fading memories, leaves no doubt
There's a purpose to this life
TIll death comes along
Screamin' of anger
As the sun disappear
Hear my prayer as I say goodbye

[Chorus:]
Seasons will change
Heed is the wonder
Now you are mine
To shores of this night
Embracing Fear

Darkened Shadows
Coming over me
There where sun was
Now there's only rain
Holy spirit, save my soul
When I'm staring into
The devils eyes

[Chorus]

I see the world through
MY third eye
A clear vision of it all
Staring at past lives
Now rise!
Come rise again
I see the demon in your eyes
In the shadows of this stage

[Chorus]
