[HemlockGrey]

Do as the title commands or perish.

First off, the utterly untouchable opus that is 'Paint it Black', and you should know who it's by.

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm,...

I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!

Hmm, hmm, hmm,...

Next, the kickass rock bit, 'No Leaf Clover', by Metallica

And it feels right this time
On this crash course with the big time
Pay no mind to the distant thunder
New day fills his head with wonder...boy

Says it feels right this time
Turned it 'round and found the right line
"Good day to be alive, Sir"
"Good day to be alive" he says...yeah

Then it comes to be
that the soothing light
at the end of your tunnel
was just a freight train comin' your way 2x

Don't it feel right like this?
All the pieces fall to his wish
"Sucker for that quick reward, boy"
"Sucker for that quick reward", they say...

Then it comes to be
that the soothing light
at the end of your tunnel
was just a freight train comin' your way
It's coming your way
It's coming your way......
Here comes

Yeah, Then it comes to be
that the soothing light
at the end of your tunnel
was just a freight train comin' your way

Then it comes to be, Yeah...
Then it comes to be, Yeah...
Then it comes to be, Yeah...
Then it comes to be, Yeah...
Then it comes to be, Yeah...
Then it comes to be, Yeah...
Then it comes to be, Yeah...
Then it comes to be, Yeah

And finally, the other kickass rock bit, 'Song #2', by Blur

I got my head checked
By a jumbo jet
It wasn't easy
But nothing is-no
WOO-HOO!
When I feel heavy metal
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well I lie and I'm easy
All of the time but I'm never sure
Why I need you
Pleased to meet you

I got my head done
When I was young
It's not my problem
It's not my problem
WOO-HOO!
When I feel heavy metal
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well I lie and I'm easy
All of the time but I'm never sure
Why I need you
Pleased to meet you
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
oh, yeah

[Keevan_Colton]

I'd have to go with one of three for this....its too tough for me to pick just one...the first is by my favourite band Blind Guardian.
Blind Guardian - The Bards Song - In the Forest

Now You all know
The bards and their songs
When hours have gone by
I'll close my eyes
In a world far away
We may meet again
But now hear my song
About the dawn of the night
Let's sing the bards' song

Ref.:
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
Noone will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow will take it away
The fear of today
It will be gone
Due to our magic songs

There's only one song
Left in my mind
Tales of a brave man
Who lived far from here
Now the bard songs are over
And it's time to leave
Noone should ask You for the name
Of the one
Who tells the story

Ref.:
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
Noone will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow all will be known
And You're not alone
So don't be afraid
In the dark and cold
'Cause the bards' songs will remain
They all will remain

In my thoughts and in my dreams
They're always in my mind
These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men
And elves
Come close Your eyes
You can see them, too

[Next of Kin]

By the musical stylings of Homer J. Simpson:

when I was seventeen
I drank some very good beer
I drank some very good beer that I purchased with a fake i.d.
my name was Brian Mcgee
I stayed up listning to queen
when I was seventeen.

[Keevan_Colton]

My second choice is *swiftly returns to google to paste*
Manowar - Black Wind Fire and Steel

Full moon light is calling me
My kigndom lies within.
The mystic soul and lions heart
Brought by the talisman
The ecstasy of battle takes me
Where the falcons fly.
Immortal youth was granted me
I will never die.

Born of Black wind fire and steel
Born of Black wind fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born of Black wind fire and steel

Pounded by the hammers
Of the giants of the world
I can see the darkness
I'm the overlord
Single combat I await
My shadow brings them fear.
The spikes upon my chariot
Will grind them when they're near

Born of Black wind fire and steel
Born of Black wind fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born of Black wind fire and steel

I am an outcast
On the path of no return
Punisher and swordsman
I was born to burn.
Black Wind always follows
Where my black horse rides.
Fire's in my soul
Steel is on my side.

Born of Black wind fire and steel
Born of Black wind fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born of Black wind fire and steel

I am an outcast
On the path of no return
Punisher and swordsman
I was born to burn.
Black Wind always follows
Where my black horse rides.
Fire's in my soul
Steel is on my side.

Born ofBlack wind fire and steel
Born ofBlack wind fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born ofBlack wind fire and steel

[Keevan_Colton]

And my final choice would be the all time classic by Metallica...

Fade to black....

Life it seems, to fade away,
Drifting further every day,
Getting lost within myself,
Nothing matters no one else,
I have lost the will to live,
Simply nothing more to give,
There is nothing more for me,
Need the end to set me free

Things not what they used to be,
Missing one inside of me,
Deathly lost, this can't be real,
Cannot stand this hell I feel,
Emptiness is filling me,
To the point of agony,
Growing darkness taking dawn,
I was me, but now he's gone

No one but me can save myself, but it's too late,
Now I can't think, think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed,
Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye

[Master of Ossus]

My favorite song is Don McLean's "American Pie." For all the obvious reasons, and some that will be clarified further, later on.

Don McLean
American Pie

A long long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while.

But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step

I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died

So
{Refrain}
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Did you write the Book of Love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Do you believe in rock 'n roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow

Well, I know that you're in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died

I started singin'
{Refrain}

Now for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the King and Queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me

Oh, and while the King was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lennon [Lenin?] read a book of Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died

We were singing
{Refrain}

Helter Skelter in a summer swelter
The Byrds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
It landed foul out on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast

Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the Sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died

We started singing
{Refrain}

Oh, and there we were all in one place
A generation Lost in Space
With no time left to start again
So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the Devil's only friend

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrifical rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died

He was singing
{Refrain}

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music woudn't play

And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died

And they were singing
{Refrain}

They were singing bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die

[Uraniun235]

Breakthru
Words and music by Queen

When love breaks up
When the dawn light wakes up
A new life is born
Somehow I have to make this final breakthrough
Now

I wake up
Feel just fine
Your face
Fills my mind
I get religion quick
'Cos you're looking divine
Honey you're touching something you're touching me
I'm under your thumb under your spell can't you see
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthrough - oh yeah

Breakthrough these barriers of pain
Breakthrough to the sunshine from the rain
Make my feelings known towards you
Turn my heart inside and out for you now
Somehow I have to make this final breakthrough
Now!

Your smile speaks books to me
I break up
With each and every one of your looks at me
Honey you're starting something deep inside of me
Honey you're sparking something this fire in me
I'm outta control
I wanna rush headlong into this ecstacy
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthrough

If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthrough
Oh yeah
Breakthrough breakthrough

If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthrough

If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthrough

[Keevan_Colton]

I'd like to dedicate this song to GK, Darkstar and all those other wonderful people....
*steps off the stage as the music begins*

I was stranded on a planet
Just me and Spock
we met a nasty nazi alien who locked our asses up
We found a hunk of crystal and a metal piece of bed
We made a laser phaser gun and shot him in the head

bust a move

I was standing on a bridge when Sulu came to me
his eyes were full of tears he said "captain cant you see
the ship is gonna blow do something i beseige"
I grabbed a tribble and some chewing gum and stopped the warful breach

I said
Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish
thats the way we do things live
we make shit up as we wish
the klingons and the romulans pose no threat to us
cuz if we find we're in a bind we just make some shit up

Although hes just a child and something of a twit
Wesley is the master when it comes to making up some shit
he's the guy you want with you wen you go out in space
if only he could beam those pimples off his face

and if you're at a party on the starship enterprise
and the karaoke player just plain old up and dies
set up an adrenal field inside a can of peas
hold on to jordis visor and sing into data's knees

I said
Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish
thats the way we do things live
we make shit up as we wish
the klingons and the romulans pose no threat to us
cuz if we find we're in a bind we just make some shit up

Sisko's on a mission to go no bloody place
he loiters on the space station above bajoran space
the wormhole opened up and now they come from near and far
we'll keep the booze but please send back the fucking Jem-hadar

What is with the klingons, remember in the day
they looked like puerto ricans and they dressed in gold lame
now they look like heavy metal rockers from the dead
with leather pants and frizzy hair and lobsters on their heads

I said
Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish
thats the way we do things live
we make shit up as we wish
the klingons and the romulans pose no threat to us
cuz if we find we're in a bind we just make some shit up

I was stuck on Voyager and pounding on the door
when suddently it dawned on me i've seen this show before
perhaps i'm in a warp bubble and slightly out of phase
It was way back in the sixties when they called it Lost in Space

we were looking for a way to make the ratings soar
so we orchestrate and encounter with the Borg
normally you'd think that would get us into shit
This one has a smashing ass and a lovely set of tits

I said
Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish
thats the way we do things live
we make shit up as we wish
the klingons and the romulans pose no threat to us
cuz if we find we're in a bind we're totally screwed but nevermind
we'll pull something out of our behind
We'll just make some shit up...

- Voltaire "Banned on Vulcan" "USS Make Shit Up"



I couldnt resist.....its such a catchy tune.

[Alyrium Denryle]

Mystic's Dream

A clouded dream on an earthly night
Hangs upon the crescent moon
A voiceless song in an ageles light
Sings at the coming dawn
Birds in flight are calling there
Where the heart moves the stones
It's ther that my heart is longing
All for the love of you

A painting hangs on an ivy wall
Nestled in the emerald moss
The eyes declare a truce of trust
And then it draws me far away
Where deep in the desert twilight
Sand melts in pools of the sky
When darkness lays her crimson cloak
Your lamps will call me home

And so it's there my homage's due
Clutched by the still of the night
And now I feel you move
Every breath is full
So it's there my homage's due
Clutched by the still of the night
Even the distance feels so near
All for the love of you.

[Einhander Sn0m4n]

Nine Inch Nails - Heresy

He sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see

He tries to tell me what I put inside of me

He's got the answers to ease my curiosity

He dreamed a god up and called it Christianity



[chorus]

(Your) God is dead, and no one cares

If there is a hell, I'll see ya there



He flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line

He made a virus that would kill off all the swine

His perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain

Demands devotion, atrocities done in his name



Your God is dead, and no one care

Drowning in his own hypocrisy

If there is a hell, I'll see ya there

Burning with your god in humility

Will you die for this?

[Straha]

So many Bowie songs, only one to choose.

[MKSheppard]

Courtesy of Marina OLeary's FOTE:

"The convoy lights are dead ahead, the merchantmen lay in their beds..

The thump of diesels hammers down, in the oily sea - the killing ground.

His knuckles white his eyes alight, he slams the hatch on the deadly night,

A cunning fox in the chickens lair, a hound of hell and the devil don't care!

Running Silent, Running deep, we are your final prayer!

Warriors in secret sleep, a merchantman's nightmare!

A silent death lies waiting for all of you below,

Running silent running deep, sink into your final sleep!"

Lyric excepts from Run Silent, Run Deep, by Iron Maiden, off the
album "No Prayer for the Dieing".

I always liked Blimpy Boy and his version of the Flintstones too.

Anyhow, I could fill this thread to 40 pages, but I'll keep it down to one, as requested.


Big Country

"In a big country"

Come up screaming
Come up screaming

I've never seen you look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through
Another season passes by you
I never took the smile away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way to look
For someone who is still a child

In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert
But I can live and breathe
And see the sun in wintertime

In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
Stay alive

So take that look out of here it doesn't fit you
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor—come up screaming
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert
But I can live and breathe
And see the sun in wintertime

In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

[Zaia]

"Mystery" by the Indigo Girls

Each time you pulled down the driveway
I wasn't sure when I would see you again
Yours was a twisted, blindsided highway
No matter which road you took then
Oh you set up your place in my thoughts
Moved in and made my thinking crowded
Now we're out in the back with the barking dogs
My heart the red sun; your heart the moon, clouded

I could go crazy on a night like tonight
When summer's beginning to give up her fight
And every thought's a possibility
And the voices are heard but nothing is seen
Why do you spend this time with me?
May be an equal mystery

So what is love then? Is it dictated or chosen?
Does it sing like the hymns of a thousand years,
Or is it just pop emotion?
And if it ever was there and it left, does it mean it was never true?
And to exist it must elude; is that why I think these things of you?

I could go crazy on a night like tonight
When summer's beginning to give up her fight
And every thought's a possibility
And the voices are heard but nothing is seen
Why do you spend this time with me?
May be an equal mystery

But you like the taste of danger,
It shines like sugar from your lips
And you like to stand in the line of fire
Just to show you can shoot straight from your hip
There must be a thousand things you would die for;
I can hardly think of two
But not everything is better spoken aloud
Not when I'm talking to you

Oh the pirate gets the ship and the girl tonight
Breaks a bottle to christen her
Basking in the exploits of her thief,
She's a very good listener

Maybe that's all that we need is to meet in the middle of impossibility
We're standing at opposite poles; equal partners in a mystery
We're standing at opposite poles; equal partners in a mystery

(Italicized parts are my most favourite lines)

[Shinova]

"Love is Blindness" by U2.


Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Take my heart
Love is blindness

In a parked car
In a crowded street
You see your love
Made complete
Thread is ripping
The knot is slipping
Love is blindness

Love is clockworks
And cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel
Squeeze the handle
Blow out the candle
Love is blindness

Love is blidness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my love
Blindness

A little death
Without meaning
No call
And no warning
Baby...a dangerous idea
That almost makes sense

Love is drowning
In a deep well
All the secrets
And no one to tell
Take the money
Honey
Blindness

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my love
Blindness

[Zaia]

"32 Flavors" by Ani Difranco

Squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
'Cause someday you're going to get hungry
And eat most of the words you just said

Both my parents taught me about good will
And I have done well by their names
Just the kindness I've lavished on strangers
Is more than I can explain
Still there's many who've turned out their porch lights
Just so I would think they were not home
And hid in the dark of their windows
'Til I'd passed and left them alone

And God help you if you are an ugly girl
'Course too pretty is also your doom
Cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
For the prettiest girl in the room
And God help you if you are a phoenix
And you dare to rise up from the ash
A thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
While you are just flying past

I'm not trying to give my life meaning
By demeaning you
And I would like to state for the record
I did everything that I could do
I'm not saying that I'm a saint
I just don't want to live that way
No, I will never be a saint
but I will always say

Squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
'Cause someday you might find you're starving
And eating all of the words you said

[Brother-Captain Gaius]

Awww what the hell...

First to fight for the right,
And to build the Nation's might,
And the Army goes rolling along
Proud of all we have done,
Fighting till the battle's won,
And the Army goes rolling along.

Then it's Hi! Hi! Hey!
The Army's on its way.
Count off the cadence loud and strong
For where e'er we go,
You will always know
That the Army goes rolling along.

Valley Forge, Custer's ranks,
San Juan Hill and Patton's tanks,
And the Army went rolling along
Minute men, from the start,
Always fighting from the heart,
And the Army goes rolling along.

Then it's Hi! Hi! Hey!
The Army's on its way.
Count off the cadence loud and strong
For where e'er we go,
You will always know
That the Army goes rolling along.

Men in rags, men who froze,
Still that Army met its foes,
And the Army went rolling along.
Faith in God, then we're right,
And we'll fight with all our might,
As the Army keeps rolling along.

Then it's Hi! Hi! Hey!
The Army's on its way.
Count off the cadence loud and strong
For where e'er we go,
You will always know
That the Army goes rolling along.

"Hear You Me" by Jimmy Eat World

There's no one in town I know.
You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
I thought I might have one more chance.
What would you think of me now...
So lucky, So strong, So proud?
I never said thank you for that,
Now I'll never have a chance.

May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads,
The sleepless go.
May angels lead yo in.

So what would you think of me now...
So lucky, So strong, So proud?
I never said thank you for that.
Now I'll never have a chance.

May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads,
The sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.

And if you were with me tonight.
I'd sing to you just one more time.
A song for a heart so big,
God couldn't let it live.

May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads,
The sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads,
The sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.

"32 Flavors" by Ani Difranco

I love that song. Good song from a good time in my life

heha between you, me, and Aerius, we could probably bury this thread

[Drewcifer]

OK, another from Big Country.

This one is from the mid '80's, but still rings true today.

"Where the Rose is Sown"

We're at war…All the papers say
We will win…I read today
We are strong…It wasn't us
We are right…Who started this
Leave your work…I just left school
Leave your home…I am no fool
Take up arms…It left me strong
Sound alarms…The school bell rings

Sons of men who stand like gods
We give life to feed the cause
And run to ground our heathen foe
Our name will never die
This time will be forever

Join up here…I wave good-bye
We need you…Oh my breast sighs
Have no fear…Now I must try
God will be…With braver men
Take the vow…I know it's right
Praise the flag…The good fight
We're at war…I'm on my way
We will win…Why do I pray

Sons of men who stand like gods
We give life to feed the cause
And run to ground our heathen foe
Our name will never die
This time will be forever

I wait here in this hole
Playing poker with my soul
I hold the rifle close to me
It lights the way to keep me free
If I die in a combat zone
Box me up and ship me home
If I die and still come home
Lay me where the rose is sown

Sons of men who stand like gods
We give life to feed the cause
And run to ground our heathen foe
Our name will never die
This time will be forever

[The Yosemite Bear]

It's hard for me to choose a favorite song.

[Zaia]

"32 Flavors" by Ani Difranco

I love that song. Good song from a good time in my life

That's funny, that song reminds me of me. The chorus and the phoenix parts especially.

heha between you, me, and Aerius, we could probably bury this thread

Bwahahahah, but that is my ultimate plan! Behold, I have another!

"Hands Down" by Dashboard Confessional

Breathe in for luck
Breathe in so deep
This air is blessed
You share with me
This night is wild
So calm and dull
These hearts they race
From self-control
Your legs are smooth
As they graze mine
We're doing fine
We're doing nothing at all

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me
So won't you kill me so I die happy
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
To break or bury or wear as jewelry,
Whichever you prefer

The words are hushed, "Let's not get busted"
Just lay entwined here undiscovered
Safe from the earth and all the stupid questions:
"Hey did you get some?"
Man, that is so dumb
Stay quiet, stay near,
Stay close they can't hear,
So we can get some

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me
So won't you kill me so I die happy
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
To break or bury or wear as jewelry,
Whichever you prefer

Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember,
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo,
The dim of the soft lights,
The scent of your hair
That you twirled in your fingers
And the time on the clock
When we realized it's so late
And the walk that we shared together
The streets were wet and the gate was locked
So I jumped it and let you in
Snd you stood at the door with your hands on my waist
And you kissed me like you meant it
And I knew that you meant it,
That you meant it, that you meant it,
And I knew, that you meant it, that you meant it

Another Blind Guardian one...this time for any other micheal moorcock fans that might be about.

Quest for Tanelorn

By the ruins he stands
And he's waiting for me
To enter Tanelorn
His paths seem strange
But they're always planned
Seldom he succeeds
About his own fate

[Lead: Andre]

He tries to conquer it
Again and again
But at last he's almost
A ruined man
Not a king or God
Who's searching for
A place called Tanelorn
Far beyond your dreams

[Lead: Andre]

On our quest for Tanelorn
We lose our way
On our quest for Tanelorn
He's waiting
He's waiting for me
He's waiting
He's waiting for me

[Lead: Kai]

Darkness falling down on me
Darkness - The eternal battle rises

I know the answers
Although they don't exist
I'm just a mortal illusion

On our quest for Tanelorn
We lose our way
On our quest for Tanelorn

[Solo: Kai]

So I'm his companion
Through space and through time
His eternal servant
He's calling me
So I must leave
To another life
To another world
Far beyond your dreams

[Lead: Kai]

To know the truth
Just for a while
He's longing for a place
Where he can find himself
Deliverance
It could be everywhere
How can he find
He's waiting for me
And for you
Tanelorn

On our quest for Tanelorn
We lose our way
On our quest for Tanelorn
We lose our way
On our quest for Tanelorn
We lose our way
On our quest for Tanelorn
We lose our way
[Refrain leads by Kai]

Actually i have two.
CRADLE OF FILTH - Amor E Morte

Her bouquets are wilted
Too long has She slept
Their cruel red mouths darkened
To bowed silhouettes
I saw in a new moon
With Her scent on my breath
But then all to soon
Came the hunger for flesh

I held Her in eyes like necropoli
Laying Her on a tomb with a view
Lighting Her from Her feet
To the stars in Her hair
Drove sweet blood to Her throat
And My lips parted there

(In the tone of splintered bone)
She screams benighted
My limbs ignite
A carneal carnivore
On all fours to go...

An ebon Nemesis
From torture gardens of Dis
Having never breathed an Eve
As far narcotic as this
Two spellbound hellhounds
Hearts pounding loud
Racing Heaven out of focus
Under quicksilver clouds

"God is maimed come let us prey..."
To lunar deities that pave deadways
Twixt the living and the grave
Amor e Morte
To cast our fearl shadows there
We made Love bleed on a Deathbed shared
Where, begging Me to feed
To best be Were...

I licked Her wounds and ate Her rare

Argentinum spurred
her watnon words incurred
A sin ridden tongue
To open trading in fur
Never were those gates of pearl
So rubbed to their cusp
Never were the Worlds above
So bitten with the bestial...

Seraphim fell like guillotines
Giving gracious head

Instead of harking prophecies
And how our brother sang
Amor e Morte
In the thick evergreens
Theirs was a chorus for raucous souls
Shifting shape and lifting napes
To commemorate
Erotic stains
Amor e Morte

Unfasten thy masque
Come skyclad to my arms
Leave thy gown a dark pool at thy feet
I yearn musky valleys that no Man hath seen
The chill keen of stars
Over Yew and deep wooded ravines
A hidden meridian
Where Midian may be...

In black antlered glades
Encunted in this forest Goddess
She whispers My name
I buck under flames
Animal nitrates
Howling through my veins

I ride riptides that wrest and writhe to the fore
New lusts ecllipsing lips
That brought me to this verge of War
With inner beasts unleashed
To feast, fuck and run
Rampart in chase of She wolf pacts
Forged on heat with setting Suns

I love the night
It would murder My soul
Should I ever fall blind
For though thy flesh haunts
I keep also in mind
The stampede of clouds
From Dusk's predatory sky

Purple versed like the funeral hearse
That first turned thee over to My...
Unbridled kiss when I found thee in mist
Dressed for the sepulchre
My Demon bride...

"God is maimed come let Us prey..."
To Lunar Deities that pave deadways
Twixt the living and the grave
Amor e Morte
Ours was a chorus for raucous souls
Shifting sape and lifting nape
To commemorate
Erotic stains

Amor e Morte

Cradle of Filth Death Magick For Adepts

Come distortured artists
Bitter things seek meaning
Even if they're madness to behold
Once forbears to horizons
Where the dead stayed dreaming
Now nightmares waken souls
That fear the living's toll

Gova, Bosch and Brueghel
Three times moonwise stain thy graves
For words alone are at loss to trace
The face of today's inhuman wraith

One half adrift in the vast abyss
Of despair and misery
The other a mask of rich red lips
Whetted by the fevers of belief and greed

All damned in this inferno
Where even Virgil averts His eyes
From the black mass mutual gang rape
Of Caesing hands an forced divides

Trespass these seven gates
To a world bloodlet to shades
Where Seraphim
(Falling on deaf ears) bleat
Of their cold and coming Master's race
In the seweres of Babylon
Stillborn to a trough anon
Chimiracles will hatch like plots
To dredge faeces to pearl their cross

Enter Penteholocaust!
Five Aeons past, yet still Man grasps
At final straws to save his cast

His Lord is a leper we shall not want
He betrayed us with white lies
His acrid pall as of the tomb
Reminds us how we rot inside

Gutted like fool's paradise
Glutted on cruel appetites...

Holding court to chaos
Folding to far graver arms
A downfall fatal to all resounds
As orgies peak in self centred psalms

And Nature screams Her sufferings
Under bowed and cankered wings
A bleak scorched Earth necrotica burning
Like the robes we've torn from Her

She begs Us lay Her pain to rest
Lest We are left with nothingness
Save for Her stripped and ravished flesh

And if Her fate is not portent of Apocalypse
Then the comets that graxe nightskies
Will surely cleanse of wrongs and reichs
When you and I and all else dies...

It's rotting down
This carcass Maggotropolis

Interdependent as worms to the grave
Allah's true name is naught
Chist acannot save
Locked in a waltz of evermore frantic steps
Spells of regret...
Death Magick for Adepts

Be prepared to fulfill prophecies
The glorious fall of a sin dynasty

Gutted like fool's paradise
Glutted on cruel appeitites...

"We've woven hearts a thorn arbour
Left tear streaked reason upon the shore
And bereft of compass, star or more
Set out for this World's end
Few at the prow, most slave below
Painting coal a perfect gold
But for all it's worth, the engines slow
Dead in the brine again
Come cabin fever, sodomy on the bounty
Prey to phallus seas
That hiss and foam to douse disease
A storm roars on the way
Blacker than the Ace of Rapes
Dealt out by Death in darkwood glades
Our Ship of Fools, all boards handmade
Sinks, dashed by seismic waves..."

And i almost forgot (ok ok its 3 songs...)

Cradle of Filth - Lord Abortion

I was born with a birthmark of cinders
Debris cast from the stars and Mother
A ring of bright slaughter, I spat in the waters
Of life that ran slick from the stabwounds in Her

Dub Me Lord Abortion, the living dead
The bonesaw on the backseat
On this bitter night of giving head
A sharp rear entry, an exit in red
Lump in the throat, on my come choke
The killing joke worn thin with breath

I grew up on the sluts bastard Father beat blue
Keepsake cunts cut full out easing puberty through

Aah! Nostalgia grows
Now times nine or ten
Within this vice den called a soul
Dying resurrection
I dig deep to come again
The spasm of orgasm on a roll...

I live the slow serrated rape
The bucks fizz of amyl nitrate
Victims force fed thair own face
Tear stains upon the drape
I should compare them
To a warm Summer's day
But to the letter, it is better
To lichen their names to a grave

Counting My years on an abacus strung
With labial rings and heartstrings undone

Dub Me Lord Abortion, the living dead
The bonesaw on the backseat
On this bitter night of giving head
A sharp rear entry, an exit in red
Lump in the throat, on My come choke
The killing joke worn thin with breath

Horrorscopes My diorama
A twelve part (so far) psychodrama
Another chained I mean to harm Her
Inside as well as out
A perverts gasp inside the mask
I'm hard, blow My house of cards
All turn up Death, Her bleeding starts
In brute vermillion parts...

Now I slither through the hairline cracks
In sanity, best watch your back

Possessed with levering Hell's gates wide
Liberating knives to cut Humanity slack

My ambition is to slay anon
A sinner in the hands of a dirty God
Who lets Me prey, a Gilles De Rais
Of light where faith leads truth astray

I slit guts guts and free the moistest facces
Corrupt the corpse and seize the choicest pieces
Her alabaster limbs that dim the lit carnal grin
Vaginal skin to later taste and masturbate within

"My heart was a wardrum beat
By jugular cults in eerie jungle vaults
When number thirteen fell in My lap
Lips and skin like sin, a Venus Mantrap
My appetite whetted, storm crows wheeled
At the blurred edges or reason 'til I was fulfilled
Whors d'oeuvres eaten, I tucked Her into
A grave coffin fit for the Queen of Spades
She went out like the light in My mind
Her face an avalanche of pearl, of ruby wine...
Much was a flux, but the mouth once good for fucks
Came from retirement to prove She had not lost Her touch
I kissed Her viciously, maliciously, religiously
But when has ONE been able TO best seperate the THREE?
I know I'm sick as Dahmer did, but this is what I do
Aah, aah, ahh, I'll let you sleep when I am through..."

The suspect shadow sher they least
Expect My burning grasp to reach

The stranglehold, the opened arms
Seeking sweet meat with no holes barred

Rainbows that My razors wrung
Midst Her screams and seams undone
Sung at the top of punctured lungs
I bite My spiteful tongue
Lest curses spat from primal lairs
Freeze romance where Angels, bare
Are lost to love, bloodloss, despair
I weep, they merely stare...
And stare, and stare, and stare, and stare.

[CmdrSweevo]

Spring his here, sp-puh-ring is here!
Life is skittles and life is beer.
I think the most wonderful time of the year is the spring,
I do.
Don't you?
Course you do.

But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me -
That makes every Sunday a treat for me...

All the world seems in tune
On a spring afternoon
When you're poisoning pigeons in the park
And on Sundays you'll see
My sweetheart and me
As we poison the pigeons in the park.

When they see use coming, the birdies all try an' hide,
But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide.

Oh, the sun's shining bright!
Everything seems alright
When we're poisoning pegeons in the park.

Da daaaaaa, dada da da da do, de deeeeee....

We've gained noteriety
And caused much anxiety
At the Audoban Society
With our games.
They call it impiety
And lack of propriatry
And quite a variety of unpleasent names.

But it's not against any religion
To want to dispose of a pigeon.

So if
Sunday you're free
Why don't you come with me
And we'll poison the pigeons in the park.
And maybe we'll do in a squirrel or two
As we poison the pigeons in the park.

We'll murder them all amid laughter and merriment
Except for the few we take home to experiment.

Oh, my heart will be quickenin'
With each drop of strychanin
We feed to a pigeon
(It just takes a smidgen!)
To poison a pigeon in the park.
