    that is actually what I am going to sing/do if I ever wind up a ghost

    it's the best way ever to haunt someone

    just keep singing it until they go insane

    move to the next person on your list, repeat.

    ghosts shouldn't get hoarse, right?

    I don't think so.

    But they still get bored. :cheers2:

    I mean when you've seen one persons descent into madness, you've seen them all.

    No.

    But instead:

    Strike while the iron is hot
    Steel is strongest so say we all
    And if we all were not brothers of metal would we fall? - no -
    They tried to test our spirit
    They tasted steel before we were done
    Grinding their bones into the dust of the past
    All blown away like a shot from a gun

    We cast our lot together four still stand as one
    Here well remain forever till our kingdoms one

    Brothers of metal
    We are fighting with power and steel
    Fighting for metal metal thats real
    Brothers of metal will always be there
    Standing together with hands in the air

    Let us drink to the power drink to the sound
    Thunder and metal are shaking the ground
    Drink to your brothers who are never to fall
    Were all brothers of metal here in the hall

    Our hearts are filled with metal and masters we have none
    And we will die for metal, metal heals, my son

    Brothers of metal
    We are fighting with power and steel
    Fighting for metal metal thats real
    Brothers of metal will always be there
    Standing together with hands in the air

    Let us drink to the power drink to the sound
    Thunder and metal are shaking the ground
    Drink to your brothers who are never to fall
    Were all brothers of metal here in the hall

    Brothers of metal
    We are fighting with power and steel
    Fighting for metal metal thats real
    Brothers of metal will always be there
    Standing together with hands in the air






    You get this.

    Alright, I'll play nice... here are some real lyrics for you...



    F[SIZE=-1]OR[/SIZE] God's sake hold your tongue, and let me love ;
    Or chide my palsy, or my gout ;
    My five gray hairs, or ruin'd fortune flout ;
    With wealth your state, your mind with arts improve ;
    Take you a course, get you a place,
    Observe his Honour, or his Grace ;
    Or the king's real, or his stamp'd face
    Contemplate ; what you will, approve,
    So you will let me love.

    Alas ! alas ! who's injured by my love?
    What merchant's ships have my sighs drown'd?
    Who says my tears have overflow'd his ground?
    When did my colds a forward spring remove?
    When did the heats which my veins fill
    Add one more to the plaguy bill?
    Soldiers find wars, and lawyers find out still
    Litigious men, which quarrels move,
    Though she and I do love.

    Call's what you will, we are made such by love ;
    Call her one, me another fly,
    We're tapers too, and at our own cost die,
    And we in us find th' eagle and the dove.
    The phoenix riddle hath more wit
    By us ; we two being one, are it ;
    So, to one neutral thing both sexes fit.
    We die and rise the same, and prove
    Mysterious by this love.

    We can die by it, if not live by love,
    And if unfit for tomb or hearse
    Our legend be, it will be fit for verse ;
    And if no piece of chronicle we prove,
    We'll build in sonnets pretty rooms ;
    As well a well-wrought urn becomes
    The greatest ashes, as half-acre tombs,
    And by these hymns, all shall approve
    Us canonized for love ;

    And thus invoke us, "You, whom reverend love
    Made one another's hermitage ;
    You, to whom love was peace, that now is rage ;
    Who did the whole world's soul contract, and drove
    Into the glasses of your eyes ;
    So made such mirrors, and such spies,
    That they did all to you epitomize—
    Countries, towns, courts beg from above
    A pattern of your love."

    As far as story telling, that's a great song. But lyrically, not impressive. He only rhymes the last word of each line 90% of the time.

    Great rappers will rhyme the last 2-3 words when they can, and also go with more complex rhymes like, "Birthday" and "first place" as opposed to, "That nigga's gonna be dead"
    "From sniffing that coke to the head"

    I'm just sayin'..... I get why people think immortal technique is the shit. His metaphors can be decent and he's a great story teller. His rhyme scheme is kind of simple though....

    Ahh, but I was never the one to use the word "better".

    I stated what I did and did not like about him. I did not say it was not good. ;)

    More awesome lyrics:

    How vainly men themselves amaze
    To win the palm, the oak, or bays ;
    And their uncessant labors see
    Crowned from some single herb or tree,
    Whose short and narrow-vergèd shade
    Does prudently their toils upbraid ;
    While all the flowers and trees do close
    To weave the garlands of repose.

    Fair Quiet, have I found thee here,
    And Innocence, thy sister dear!
    Mistaken long, I sought you then
    In busy companies of men :
    Your sacred plants, if here below,
    Only among the plants will grow ;
    Society is all but rude,
    To this delicious solitude.

    No white nor red was ever seen
    So amorous as this lovely green ;
    Fond lovers, cruel as their flame,
    Cut in these trees their mistress' name.
    Little, alas, they know or heed,
    How far these beauties hers exceed!
    Fair trees! wheresoe'er your barks I wound
    No name shall but your own be found.

    When we have run our passion's heat,
    Love hither makes his best retreat :
    The gods who mortal beauty chase,
    Still in a tree did end their race.
    Apollo hunted Daphne so,
    Only that she might laurel grow,
    And Pan did after Syrinx speed,
    Not as a nymph, but for a reed.

    What wondrous life is this I lead!
    Ripe apples drop about my head ;
    The luscious clusters of the vine
    Upon my mouth do crush their wine ;
    The nectarine and curious peach
    Into my hands themselves do reach ;
    Stumbling on melons as I pass,
    Insnared with flowers, I fall on grass.

    Meanwhile the mind, from pleasure less,
    Withdraws into its happiness :
    The mind, that ocean where each kind
    Does straight its own resemblance find ;
    Yet it creates, transcending these,
    Far other worlds, and other seas ;
    Annihilating all that's made
    To a green thought in a green shade.

    Here at the fountain's sliding foot,
    Or at some fruit-tree's mossy root,
    Casting the body's vest aside,
    My soul into the boughs does glide :
    There like a bird it sits and sings,
    Then whets and combs its silver wings ;
    And, till prepared for longer flight,
    Waves in its plumes the various light.

    Such was that happy garden-state,
    While man there walked without a mate :
    After a place so pure and sweet,
    What other help could yet be meet!
    But 'twas beyond a mortal's share
    To wander solitary there :
    Two paradises 'twere in one
    To live in Paradise alone.

    How well the skillful gard'ner drew
    Of flowers and herbs this dial new ;
    Where from above the milder sun
    Does through a fragrant zodiac run ;
    And, as it works, th' industrious bee
    Computes its time as well as we.
    How could such sweet and wholesome hours
    Be reckoned but with herbs and flowers!

    Even more!!11!!

    N[SIZE=-1]OW[/SIZE] is the time for mirth,
    Nor cheek or tongue be dumb ;
    For, with the flowery earth,
    The golden pomp is come.

    The golden pomp is come ;
    For now each tree does wear,
    Made of her pap and gum,
    Rich beads of amber here.

    Now reigns the rose, and now
    Th' Arabian dew besmears
    My uncontrolled brow
    And my retorted hairs.

    Homer, this health to thee,
    In sack of such a kind
    That it would make thee see
    Though thou wert ne'er so blind.

    Next, Virgil I'll call forth
    To pledge this second health
    In wine, whose each cup's worth
    An Indian commonwealth.

    A goblet next I'll drink
    To Ovid, and suppose,
    Made he the pledge, he'd think
    The world had all one nose.

    Then this immensive cup
    Of aromatic wine,
    Catullus, I quaff up
    To that terse muse of thine.

    Wild I am now with heat :
    O Bacchus, cool thy rays !
    Or, frantic, I shall eat
    Thy thyrse and bite the bays.

    Round, round the roof does run,
    And, being ravish'd thus,
    Come, I will drink a tun
    To my Propertius.

    Now, to Tibullus, next,
    This flood I drink to thee :
    But stay, I see a text
    That this presents to me.

    Behold, Tibullus lies
    Here burnt, whose small return
    Of ashes scarce suffice
    To fill a little urn.

    Trust to good verses then ;
    They only will aspire
    When pyramids, as men,
    Are lost i' th' funeral fire.

    And when all bodies meet
    In Lethe to be drown'd,
    Then only numbers sweet
    With endless life are crown'd.

    This is my own fault for failing to specify.

    Continue on trolling as you wish. Seems I invited it. :rolleyes:

    You should appreciate your exposure to some of my favorite 17th Century British poetry.

    m&m might be rapping about a murderous rampage but immortal was rapping about a boy raping and murdering his own mother

    And Eminem wrote "Stan" about a psycho fan who kills himself and his pregnant girlfriend in a drunken rage. I didn't deny the ability of Imm. Tech's story telling ability.

    Rube, if I was in the mood for British poetry, I'd be discussing it.

    My old room mate showed me this Boston underground hip hop artist who did a 15 minute free style. Some of the things he was rhyming about was insane, especially the speed in which he was talking. But I obviously can't remember who it was as it was 4+ years ago and it was a one time thing. But some of those free style rappers are insanely talented.
