Random lyrics thread part II

A piece of one of my favourite songs :

Freedom fighters sent out to the sun
Escape from brainwashed minds and pollution.
Leave the earth to all its sin and hate
Find another world where freedom waits.

 

sometimes i wonder if i'm ever gonna make it home again,it's so far and out of sight-i really need someone to talk to,and nobody else knows how to comfort me tonight-snow is cold,rain is wet,chills my soul right to the marrow-i won't be happy till i see you alone again,till i'm home again and feeling right---carole king

 

The river is deep and the road is long,
Daylight comes and I want to go home.

Awoke this morning
To find my people's tongues were tied
And in my dreams
They were given books to poison their minds.

The river is deep and the mountain high,
How long before the other side?

We are their mortar,
Their building bricks and their clay.
Their gold teeth mirror
Both our joys and our pain.

The river is deep and the ocean wide,
Who will teach us how to read the signs?

The earth is our mother
She taught us to embrace the light,
Now the lord is master
She suffers an eternal night.

You blocked up my ears,
You plucked out my eyes,
You cut out my tongue,
You fed me with lies,

Oh lord

Dead can Dance - Song of the dispossessed

 

Oh pirates yes they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
To the bottomless pit

But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly

Won't you have to sing
These songs of freedom
Is all I ever have
Redemption song

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
None of them can stop the time

How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book

Won't you have to sing
These songs of freeddom
Is all I'll ever have
Redemption song. ~Bob Marley~

 

I summoned up the living dead
and demons in the skies
I drank from chalice warm and red
and watched the virgin die

Present at ungodly births in holy paradise
I spread eternal dark on earth
And raped mother of Christ
[Oh, mother of Christ]

C'mon baby raise your knife
Welcome darling to my sacrifice
[Oh, sacrifice]

Tie the angel to the altar
Sacrifice to Lord of hell
Let the warm blood torrent, baby
While the moonlight sets the night on spell

I saw the lightning strike in the skies
And heard you roar of pain
Oh, lift the knife and strike once more
Your blood is mixed with the rain

C'mon baby raise your knife
Welcome darling to my sacrifice
[Oh, sacrifice]

Bathory - Sacrifice

 

My fav lines or if I needed someone:
If I needed someone to love, you're the one that I'd be thinking of. If I neeeded someone. Had you come some other day then, it might not have been liek this, but you see now, Im to much in love. Carve you number on my walla and maybe you will get a call from me, If I needed someone."

 

Run, rabbit, run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
When at last the work is done
Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one...

Pink Floyd - Breath

 

(I only know the chorus of this song)

Drivin' that train
High on cocaine
Casey Jones you'd better
Watch your speed

Trouble ahead
Trouble behind
And you know that notion
Just crossed my mind.

 

Thanks.

 

tonight you're mine completely,you give your love so sweetly--tonight the light of love is in your eyes,but will you love me tomorrow--is this a lasting treasure,or just a moment's pleasure--can i believe the magic of your sighs,will you still love me tomorrow--tonight with words unspoken,you say that i'm the only one--but will my heart be broken,when the night meets the morning sun--i'd like to know that your love,is love i can be sure of--so tell me now and i won't ask again,will you still love me tomorrow?-------carole king (again?)

 

Summoning - A distant flame before the sun

I sit beside the fire and think
Of how the world will be
When winter comes without a spring
That I shall ever see

I sit beside the fire and think
Of people long ago
And people who will see a world
that I shall never know

I sit beside the fire and think
Of older times that were before
I listen for returning feet
And voices at my door

On high above the mists I came
A distant flame before the sun
A wonder ere the waking dawn
Where grey the nordlands waters run
In elder days and years of yore

Now behold the awful price of treason!

...Through dreams I influence mankind...

 

The Great American Novel: Larry Norman

I was born and raised and orphaned
in a land that once was free
in a land that poured its love out on the moon

and i grew up in the shadows
of your silos filled with grain
but you never helped to fill my empty spoon

you killed a black man at midnight
just for talking to your daughter
then you made his wife your mistress
and you left her without water

and the sheet you wear upon your face
is the sheet your children sleep on
you say your prayers at every meal
you dont believe but still you keep on

and your money says in god we trust
but its against the law to pray in school
you say we beat the russians to the moon
and i say you starved your children to do it

we are far across the ocean
in a war thats not our own
and while we're winning theirs
were gonna lose the one at home

do you really think the only way
to bring about the peace
is to sacrifice your children
and kill all your enemies

the politicans all make speaches
and the newsmen all take notes
the eggagerate the issues
then they shove it down our throats

is it really up to them wheather this
country sinks or floats
and i wonder who would lead us
if none of us would vote

and your money says in god we trust
but its against the law to pray in school
you say we beat the russians to the moon
and i say you starved your children to do it

you say all men are equal...all men are brothers
then why are the rich more equal than others

dont ask me for an answer..ive only got one
a man leaves his darkness when he follows...the sun

 

Dusk kisses the nape of her neck and holds the night in its lovely hue,
Skin mirrors the face of bright stars and leaves the day in unending rue.
Eyes swim with red torrid approach, but feign the sky with a caustic stare,
Lips as full as the river in spring quiver in the greyish air.

She floats over water, brings her sorrow to ashen lips,
Drinks grief from a ticking past that makes her sick.
Days stained with guileful innocence,
The wind kisses leaves, but brings no cogent recompense.

A sigh from the lips of her mouth now escapes,
A blink from the last of her eye now placates.

But the tears fall like rain spewed upon arid ground,
And the storm cloaks the ferver of the love that abounds.

I sleep beneath a sky suffused with black,
She whispered in my ear, "Will love be back?"

Wake in the weakening arms of future's hold,
Stare in the frozen pond of dreams untold.
Sift through diurnal moods that impede sleep,
Forced to endure the threes that vows do reap.

Please let me sleep in forever's grace,
Let me kiss the tears that stain your face.
Heal the wounds of mine that fester now,
Tend my wretched heart that beats somehow.

I sleep beneath damp earth,
Your hand in mine.
She whispered in my ear,
"Our love conquered time."

 

"Dreaming of that face again.
It's bright and blue and shimmering.
Grinning wide
And comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes.

On my back and tumbling
Down that hole and back again
Rising up
And wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye.

In... Out... In... Out... In... Out...

A child's rhyme stuck in my head.
It said that life is but a dream.
I've spent so many years in question
to find I've known this all along.

'So good to see you.
I've missed you so much.
So glad it's over.
I've missed you so much
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running away?
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running away?'

Shroud-ing all the ground around me
Is this holy crow above me.
Black as holes within a memory
And blue as our new second sun.
I stick my hand into his shadow
To pull the pieces from the sand.
Which I attempt to reassemble
To see just who I might have been.
I do not recognize the vessel,
But the eyes seem so familiar.
Like phosphorescent desert buttons
Singing one familiar song...

'So good to see you.
I've missed you so much.
So glad it's over.
I've missed you so much.
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running away?
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running away?'

Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.

So good to see you once again.
I thought that you were hiding.
And you thought that I had run away.
Chasing the tail of dogma.
I opened my eye and there we were.

So good to see you once again
I thought that you were hiding from me.
And you thought that I had run away.

Chasing a trail of smoke and reason.

Prying open my third eye."

"A man stands on the corner holding a sign
People yell at him as they drive by
I wonder what they read
That made them so upset
I looked at the sign and all it said was

One word
Peace...
In the neighborhood
One word
Peace...
In my own backyard

A man in a foreign land kneels to pray
Wonders where the bombs will fall today
My leaders tell me to fear him you see
But love conquers all
Is what I believe

One word
Peace...
In the neighborhood
One word
Peace...
In my own backyard

Everybody's talkin' about it
Everybody's got to have their say
But to achieve it there is only one way
And it starts with me and the word
And the word is

One word
Peace...
In the neighborhood
One word
Peace...
In my own backyard"

Company Sin
Ben got a job at the mine along the way.
He said everything was fine until that fatefulday .
That's when his life, started to change.
The day he went to help and go blow up that Mountain Range.

Ben Moved to town a year ago or maybe more
Straight out of High School
the whole world he had in store
Wanted to travel, needed some dough
Everybody worked the mine why should he say no.

Don't ask him why
Now things for him have changed
It's not his land, they're not his song's
He can't work out why he don't belong,

He part of Company
part of Company Sin.
Won't someone please tell the lad,
when Humbug did begin.

Now legend has it or so they say,
The Bones of an Ancient People,
Yeah, that's where they lay and,
Their Descendents, Hold close to Heart.
Oh that Mountain Range Ben was helping blow apart

And as I said for Ben things weren't quite right.
Now he's waking up, screaming every single night.
Hearing voices in a different tongue,
The screaming of the Old, the screaming of the Young

He part of Company
part of Company Sin.
Won't someone please tell the lad,
when Humbug did begin.

Now Ben moved on, job left him a while back
Now his thanking God that his boss gave him the sack.
But in the mirror, yes he can face.
The day he stopped helping go blow up that Sacred Place

I don't get angry when my mom smokes pot​

Hits the bottle and goes right to the rock​
