Lyrics:


Like snowfall, you cry a silent storm
Your tears paint rivers on this oaken wall. . .
Amber nectar, misery ichor
. . .cascading in streams of hallowed form
For each stain, a forsaken shadow

You are the lugubrious spirit
Etched in the oak of wonder
You are the sullen voice and silent storm

Each night I lay
Awakened by her shivering silent voice
From the shapes in the corridor walls.
It pierces the solitude like that of a distant scream
In the pitch-black forest of my delusion. . .

With each passing day, a deeper grave. . .

"Why did you leave me to die?"
"Why did you abandon me?"
"Why did you walk away and leave me bitterly yearning?"

Her haunting, contorted despair was etched into the wood's grain
Though fire rages within me, no fire burns fiercer than her desire
The shape whispers my name. . .

I damn this oak!
I damn her sorrow!
I damn these oaken corridors
That bear the ghosts of those I've thrown away!

Though tempted I am to caress her texture divine
And taste her pain sweet, sweet like brandy wine;
I must burn these halls, these corridors
And silence her shrill, tormenting voice
. . .forever. . .

Like snowfall, you cried a silent storm
No tears stain this dust in my hands
But from this ashen gray, her voice still
Whispers my name. . .

You were the lugubrious spirit
Who haunted the oak of wonder
You were the geist that warned this frozen silent storm
You were but a ghost in my arms

Lyrics:

You gonna kill?
See I still have this, this male aggression thing and I don't know if you're gonna kill me and I don't care, enough's enough.

Cause we were getting twenty gunshots that night and I couldn't figure out where they were coming from. I went out there and found out everybody was shooting everybody. There's a lot of stress in that city, in Detroit as far as stopping crime if you wanna stop the crime, you better talk to John Nichols cause he knows what he's doin'.

Man you know how it feels, I feel worse tonight. That man, if I wanted him to listen, get up and go to Beverley and leave me alone, he would do it. He has a father complex, I wish he was the father complex, he's sixty-eight years old and he'd still kick my ass even though I can deep squat for 2000 or so. I don't have any fun, at all. That's the least of problems. There ain't no fun out there killing people, no.

I've got a certain amount of common sense. I know the precedence of morals, and whether you believe it or not you've taught me a lot. Don't worry if you wanna screw off the past...

I'm scared of you! Who do I go to? Where do I go? Nothing that you knew you were doing 'cept I've always known what I was doing. Dr. Fratelli said, "Gerald, there's nothing wrong with you. You are so sane you're insane!"
I don't have no fun, ever! You worked thirty years at Chrysler's, well hell I got fifteen years seniority there, what are you talkin' about? I don't have no fun at all!

What, it's very fashionable to say that it's schizophrenia so I guess I'm unfashionable.

Which would you rather have: sleeping a lot and staying on the subject or being more awa- I'm sleeping a lot, I'm being awake, cause I feel now that I've got a fairy friend out of childhood who got very anxious around people. And last Yuletide took the resolution: "I don't like people." And my reply, this Yuletide, is: "Mad chicken."

Lyrics:

The water pours its embracing arms around the stone
Decay drips from the unquiet void where the ice forms, where life ends
The stone is by the crimson flood, swallowed
The red tide beyond the ebon wound, contorted
My sacrifice bids farewell in this river of memory... a wave to end all time
Red birds escape from my wounds and return as falling snow
To sweep the landscape; a wind haunted, wings without bodies
The snow, the bitter snowfall
You wish to die in her pale arms, crystalline, to become an ode to silence
In the soul of a mountain of birds, fallen
The cascading pallor of ghostless feather
The snow has fallen and raised this white mountain on which you will die and fade away in silence

Lyrics:

I realized I never should be born
In this world where money talks
The honesty of systems can be won
When the power of dollar is running the life

We're closing our eyes
How could we be so blind
that we can't see what's going on?

The world's on edge of madness
It's burning out with frustration
We're never satisfied
It's never enough
We can't get enough

Trying hard to make an extra buck
To roll ourselves in luxury
We get our bottoms' overload
So we grab whatever we can take
Blinded by the dollar sign
A disease that burns through our minds.

The world's on edge of madness
It's burning out with frustration
We're never satisfied
It's never enough
We can't get enough

It's never enough

Lyrics:

French
Écailles De Lune (Part I)

La lumière de juillet s'eteint sur les grèves et songeur, je laisse mes pensées se perdre à l'horizon flamboyant.

La rumeur des vagues m'apaise, je profite de cet instant précieux, invitant la chaude brise marine à raviver mes sens alanguis.

Hanté par le mirage des jours heureux j'attends que naissent au large les échos de la nuit.

Mes pensées se noient à l'horizon.

English
Moon Scales (Part I)

July's light goes out over the shores and, pensive, I let my thoughts get lost into the blazing horizon

The murmur of the waves pacifies me, I make the most of this precious moment, inviting the warm seaside breeze to revive my languid senses

Haunted by the illusion of happier days, I'm waiting for the echoes of night to arise over the sea

My thoughts drown on the horizon

Lyrics:

I'm sitting on the moon looking down on you
And watching what you've become
The new world order has a plan for you
A great deception that will make you numb

Fantasy invasion from the sky
Trillion dollars secret funds
This is a new pond
Only for the selected ones

End of disclosure
Now the countdown has begun
End of Disclosure
Before they kill everyone

Don't speak
You will disapear
They're gonna erase the truth
Mass genocide
70% will die
It's too late for you

Fantasy invasion from the sky
Trillion dollars secret funds
Drilling cities underground
Only for the selected ones

End of disclosure
Now the countdown has begun
End of Disclosure
Before they kill everyone

They are gonna nuke the world
When they're hiding in their Bunks
Slaughter us like animals

Lyrics:

Here it comes to subject the terror you forgot
No memories from the past
The unexplainable starts to appear
As your sub-consciousness begins to come back again

Reality fades away
You try to find a solution
Here it's coming now, indecision
You're free but you can't see through the confusion

There is no time
No time to regret
The eraser's coming for your life
You got to run
Stay away from the light
The eraser's here to twist your mind

Feel your soul connected to the universe
The solstice is complete
They controlled your thoughts
You will remember now, what it's all about

Twist the end around, violation
It's burning deep and twisting under your skin
It scares you forever
The proof you will find in your dreams

Head high, protest line
"Freedom" scribbled on your sign

Standing on the edge of a revolution

Hey, hey, just obey.
Your secret's safe with the NSA
In God we trust or the CIA?
Standing on the edge of a revolution

Yeah, we're standing on the edge of a revolution
Revolution, revolution, revolution

No, we won't give up, we won't go away
'Cause we're not about to live in this mass delusion
No, we don't wanna hear another word you say
'Cause we know they're all depending on mass confusion
No, we can't turn back, we can't turn away
'Cause it's time we all relied on the last solution
No, we won't lay down and accept this fate
'Cause we're standing on the edge of a revolution

Wall Street, common thief
When they get caught they all go free
A brand new yacht and a finders fee
Standing on the edge of a revolution

Same shit, different day
Can't keep fed if I can't get paid
We'll all be dead if the shit don't change
Standing on the edge of a revolution

Yeah, we're standing on the edge of a revolution

Hey

Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who cares
They
They betray
I'm your only true friend now
They
They'll betray
I'm forever there

I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true

I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true

You
You're my mask
You're my cover, my shelter
You
You're my mask
You're the one who's blamed
Do
Do my work
Do my dirty work, scapegoat
Do
Do my deeds
For you're the one who's shamed

I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true

I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true

Hate

I'm your hate when you want love
Pay
Pay the price
Pay, for nothing's fair

Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who took you there
Hey
I'm your life
And I no longer care

I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true

I'm your truth, telling lies
I'm your reasoned alibis
I'm inside open your eyes
I'm you

Lyrics:

Gimme fuel, gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire
Ooh

Turn on, I see red
Adrenaline crash and crack my head
Nitro junkie, paint me dead
And I see red

A hundred plus through black and whites, ha, ha
War horse, warhead
Fuck 'em man, white knuckle tight
Through black and white

Ooh, and I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burnin' hard, loose and clean

And I burn
Turning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline

So gimme fuel, gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire, hey
Yeah

Hey, turn on beyond the bone
Swallow future, spit out hope
Burn your face upon that chrome
Yeah

Take the corner, going to crash
Headlights, head on, headlines
Another junkie lives too fast
Yeah, lives way too fast, fast, fast, woh

Ooh, and I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burnin' hard, loose and clean

Ooh, and I burn
Churning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline

So gimme fuel, gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire

Ooh, yeah, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey
Feel it burning
Burn my fuckin' pain

Ooh, I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burnin' hard, loose and clean

Then I burn
Turning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline

Gimme fuel, gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire, yeah

That burn, yeah

Now whenever I hear that song, all I can think of is this: https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/4693517824/hFBF26D5A/
Not a bad song, though.

Metallica was actually one of the first heavy metal bands I ever listened to a long time ago. Before that, I presupposed that all metal was terrible, violent, Satanic music with a lot of screaming and no musical validity(might have been my mother's influence). Then I heard Metallica on the radio and realised it wasn't so bad. Getting into black/death metal took a little more convincing years later.

Anyway, here's that first song I heard on the radio.

Lyrics:

I Can't Remember Anything
Can't Tell If this Is True or Dream
Deep down Inside I Feel to Scream
this Terrible Silence Stops Me
Now That the War Is Through with Me
I'm Waking up I Can Not See
That There's Not Much Left of Me
Nothing Is Real but Pain Now

Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God,wake Me

Back in the Womb its Much Too Real
in Pumps Life That I must Feel
but Can't Look Forward to Reveal
Look to the Time When I'll Live
Fed Through the Tube That Sticks in Me
Just like a Wartime Novelty
Tied to Machines That Make Me Be
Cut this Life off from Me

Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God,wake Me

Now the World Is Gone I'm Just One
Oh God,help Me Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God Help Me

Darkness

Imprisoning Me
All That I See
Absolute Horror
I Cannot Live
I Cannot Die
Trapped in Myself
Body My Holding Cell

Landmine

Has Taken My Sight
Taken My Speech
Taken My Hearing
Taken My Arms
Taken My Legs
Taken My Soul
Left Me with Life in Hell

Lyrics:

empty coffins await their occupants
you will be the next to pay the rent
a grave awaits your slow decay
you will rotten

the shadows
take your soul away
the darkness grabs you from inside
for you now it doesn't exist

YOU ARE DEAD NOW
dead now

written in blood the dead await you
no escape your god can't save you
the coffin closes on your life regrets

you are dead now

long before you came to be
and far beyond your memory
a torment that will never end

you will rotten
written in blood

the coffin closes on your life regrets
written in blood

Lyrics:


Deep in the darkness, where stars cannot see
Where rivers flow inward, where souls cannot be
Beyond the horizon, of fallen stars dreaming
The dark sun burns brighter, than sky brothers gleaming

From star-born creation, to far end of time
To dwell deep within us, to wait for the sign
Under the mountain, and under the sea
Our spirits lie sleeping, dreaming to be

The light that will fear us, and flees from our sight
The strength of the ancients, the sacred birthright
Far from the mountain, and far from the sea
Awaiting the coming, the true Northern king

Lyrics: All in a day's work, all in, all in.
All in a day's work, all in, all in.
All in a day's work, all in all.

I would rather the fire storms of atmospheres
Than this cruel descent from a thousand years
of dreams, into the starkness of the capsule.

Where two of our crew still lay suspended cool
in their tombs of sleep.
Those nagging choirs of memory
the tubes and wires
worming from their flesh to machinery
I would have to cut

Such midwifery is but one function of the leader here
Floating in a sac of fluid dark
A clear century of space
Away from Earth
While one man stares from the trauma of his birth
Attending to the hypno-tapes
Assuring him
that this was reality
however grim
Our journey's end

Landing itself was nothing
We touched upon a shelf of rock
selected by the automind
And left a galaxy of dreams behind.....

And it's all a fable for fountains now.
It's all a fable for fountains now.
It's all a fable for fountains now.
All your childhood dreams, are available
For fountains now,
For fountains now,
Now now,
Now now now,
Fountains, fountains,
All going up in fountains, fountains.

And just a minute now.
When you look into my eyes,
You're looking at your own reflection.
And all you see is your disguise
You wear for your own protection.
So don't go telling me that you know just when to stop,
When to stop.
You know you`re going over the top.
Over the top.
It's over the top. Over the top.
Hey he's going, over the top.
Over the top, alright here it goes...

In 1916,
They dug the trenches.
We don't need them;
We have our own defences.
We don't need no officers to blow no whistle and scream
"Come on you guys wake up out of your dream
And follow me
Cos I'm going - Over the top.
Over the top. Follow me over the top.
Here he goes now,
Your country needs you."
Hey Kitchener, don't you know that moustaches went out with the Beatles?
Give me white feather! Give me white feather!
Give me white feather! Hung upon the wire. (2x)
Hung upon the wire.
Strung on barbed wire. Strung on barbed wire.

Goodbye genocide.
