Skull Forrest~Danzig

Death-type dreaming hoping not fade away
And i'm sinking ever deeper
In the gleaming
And i'm weaving down thru alleys of bone
Dermal dripping
Trees of people still it lingers
And it's endless winding long corridors
Of the bleaching
And the grinning never frowning

Skull forrest
And i see them haunting skinless forlorn
Swaying demons eyeless creatures
Hearts still beating
There the fallen thickets row after row
Dangling helpless damned and woeful
Still they glisten
Then the faces staring that i have known
All the parted
All the missing
Here to greet me

I really, really like Soundgarden/Chris Cornell. A friend of mine introduced them to me and it's just brill.

Drawing Flies --

Sitting here like uninvited company
Wallowing in my own obscenities
I share a cigarette with negativity
Sitting here like wet ashes
With xs in my eyes and drawing flies
Bathed in perspiration drowned my enemies
Used my inspiration for a guillotine
I fire a loaded mental cannon to the page
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with xs in
My eyes, and drawing flies
Hey what you yellin
About, conditions, permission, mirrored self affliction
Hey what you yellin about sadists
Co-addiction, perfect analogies
Hey what you yellin about conditions
Permission mirrored self affliction
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with xs in my eyes
And drawing flies

A little American hardcore

Ever ~ Flipper

Ever live a life that’s real
Full of zest, but no appeal
Ever want to cry so much
You want to die
Ever feel that you’ve been had
Had so much that you turn mad
Ever been depressed that
(to) those you turn to, you bring distress
Ever sit in tormenting silence
That turns so loud, you start to scream
Ever take control of a dream
And play all the parts and set all the scenes
Ever do nothing and gain nothing from it
Ever feel stupid and then know that you really are
Ever think you’re smart and then find out you aren’t
Ever play the fool and then find out that you’re worse
Ever look at a flower and hate it
Ever see a couple kissing and get sickened by it
Ever wish the human race didn’t exist
And then realize you’re one too
Well, have you ... ever .. I have
So what

L'Âme Immortelle - Dying Day


A lonely chord's resounding
In the hallway of my soul
And a drum is slowly pounding
Out of my control
Falling lonely through the ceiling
A water drop does find its way
Wounds that never will be healing
scar me since that very day

There is nothing left to do but pray
The day you died I lost my way
You always cared and helped me see
Out of this misery

There is nothing left to do but pray
The day you died I lost my way
You always cared and helped me see
Out of this misery

You've always been my shelter
Always been my guide
In joyful days of summer
And in the days I cried
Now you're gone and I'm still here
Lost and left behind
A new born visionary
Who has gone blind

There is nothing left to do but pray
The day you died I lost my way
You always cared and helped me see
Out of this misery

There is nothing left to do but pray
The day you died I lost my way
You always cared and helped me see
Out of this misery

East West- She Cries

Won't you come away with me tonight?
We can fly past the moon and the starlight.
It doesn't matter where you've been before
On a night like this
It doesn't matter where you've been before
I'll love you like this
(And she cries, she cries, yeah)

Can't you see, I won't leave
But you have to open your eyes
Here I stand, take my hand
Let go of the fear that you hold

Don't throw your pearls to the swine tonight
Don't let them take your innocence
Just remember the times that I held your hand and kept you close
Remember the times I held you up and now
(She cries, she cries, yeah)

Can't you see, that I won't leave
But you have to open your eyes
Here I stand, take my hand
Let go of the fear you hold

This is kinda strange. A few months ago, I picked up a cheap book of Byron (you know, broadening horizons and all that) but didn't really like it that much, probably because it was read in my own, not particularly poetic, voice. I say that because I recently came across a song that set one of these poems to music: Seelenlicht's "She Walks In Beauty" from their "Gods & Devils" CD and now I think it's brilliant.

How fickle I am.

SHE walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that 's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Cambalache

That the world was and it will be filth,
I already know...
In the year five hundred and six
and in the year two thousand too!
There always have been thieves,
traitors and victims of fraud,
happy and bitter people,
valuables and imitations
But, that the twentieth century
is a display
of insolent malice,
nobody can deny it anymore.
We lived sunk in a fuzz
and in the same mud
all well-worn...
Today it happens it is the same
to be decent or a traitor!
To be an ignorant, a genius, a pickpocket,
a generous person or a swindler!
All is the same! Nothing is better!
They are the same, an idiot ass
and a great professor!
There are no failing grades or merit valuations,
the immoral have caught up with us.
If one lives in a pose
and another, in his ambition, steals,
it's the same if it's a priest,
a mattress maker, a king of clubs,
a cad or a tramp.

What a lack of respect,
what a way to run over reason!
Anybody is a gentleman!
Anybody is a thief!
Mixed with Stavinsky, you have Don Bosco
and La Mignon
don Chicho and Napoleon,
Carnera and San Martin.
Like in the disrespectful window
of the bazaars,
life is mixed up,
and wounded by a sword without rivets
you can see a Bible crying
next to a water heater.

Twentieth century, bazaar
problematic and feverish!
If you don't cry you don't get fed
and if you don't steal you're a stupid.
Go ahead! Keep it up!
That there, in hell
we're gonna reunite.
Don't think anymore,
move out of the way.
Nobody seems to care
if you were born honest.
It's the same the one who works,
day and night like an ox,
than the one who lives from the others,
than the one that kills or heals
or than the one who lives outside the law.


Perfidia

To you
My heart cries out "Perfidia"
For I find you, the love of my life
In somebody else's arms

Your eyes are echoing "Perfidia"
Forgetful of the promise of love
You're sharing another's charms

With a sad lament my dreams are faded like a broken melody
While the gods of love look down and laugh
At what romantic fools we mortals be

And now
I find my love was not for you
And so I take it back with a sigh
Perfidia's won
Goodbye

With a sad lament my dreams are faded like a broken melody
While the gods of love look down and laugh
At what romantic fools we mortals be

And now
I find my love was not for you
And so I take it back with a sigh
Perfidia's won
Goodbye
Goodbye


The Trial by Pink Floyd

Good morning, The Worm, Your Honour,
The Crown will plainly show,
The prisoner who now stands before you,
Was caught red-handed showing feelings.
Showing feelings of an almost human nature.
This will not do.
Call the schoolmaster!
I always said he'd come to no good,
In the end, Your Honour.
If they'd let me have my way,
I could have flayed him into shape.
But my hands were tied.The bleeding hearts and artists,
Let him get away with murder.
Let me hammer him today.
Crazy.
Toys in the attic, I am crazy.
Truly gone fishing.
They must have taken my marbles away.
Crazy.Toys in the attic, he is crazy.
You little shit, you're in it now.
I hope they throw away the key.
You should've talked to me more often than you did.
But no! You had to go your own way.
Have you broken any homes up lately?
Just five minutes, Worm, Your Honour,
Him and me alone.Baaaaaabe!
Come to Mother, baby.
Let me hold you in my arms.
M'Lord, I never meant for him to get in any trouble.
Why'd he ever have to leave me?
Worm, Your Honour, let me take him home.
Crazy.
Over the rainbow, I am crazy.
Bars in the window.
There must have been a door there in the wall.
For when I came in.
Crazy.
Over the rainbow, he is crazy.
The evidence before the court is incontravertible.
There's no need for the jury to retire.
In all my years of judging I have never heard before,
Of someone more deserving of the full penalty of the law.
The way you made them suffer,
Your exquisite wife and mother,
Fills me with the urge to deficate!
No, Judge, the jury!
Since, my friend, you have revealed your deepest fear,
I sentence you to be exposed before your peers.
Tear down the wall!

Agenda Suicide By The Faint

you could follow logic
or contest it all
the work solution makes the common house a home

the element of progress
that you mention is gone
it de-evolved to something you were headed toward

as i lay to die the things i think
did i waste my time, i think i did- i worked for life

all we want are just pretty little homes
our work makes pretty little homes

like a cast shadow
like a fathers dream
have a cut out son
what's a worse disease
to get that pretty little home

as i lay to die the things i think
i don't want to regret what i did- and work for life

all we want are just pretty little homes
our work makes pretty little homes
agenda suicide, the drones work hard before they die
and give up on pretty little homes

(like a cast shadow)
our work makes pretty little homes
our work makes pretty little homes
agenda suicide, the drugs work hard before they die
and give up on pretty little homes

Dehumanized- Disturbed


Lost in slumber,
A threat to no-one
Weak and humbled in my disgrace
Sweet departure is what I long for,
Careless moments to comfort me

Dead philosophy

If I offer you my soul,
Will you carry me away?
I cannot be the only one
To be dehumanized again,
Left behind

Too determined to be forgotten,
Nothing left to enrapture me
Hard and silent but softly breaking,
No beloving to comfort me

Ooh, dead philosophy

If I offer you my soul,
Will you carry me away?
How can I be the only one
To be dehumanized again,
Left behind

Feel the determination built into my mind,
You're never gonna find me
I'll wipe the world away
Your face it will remind me
Just how much I have to leave

If I offer you my soul,
Will you carry me away?
I cannot be the only one
To be dehumanized again

Said if I offer you my soul,
Will you carry me away?
I cannot be the only one
To be dehumanized again
Left behind

Into my mind

"Something Right"

Never thought that I'd be so inspired
Never thought that I'd find the higher truth
I believed that love was overrated
'Till the moment I found you

Now baby I know I don't deserve
The love you give me
But now I understand that

If you want me I must be doing something right
I got nothing left to prove
And it's all because of you
So if you need me
And baby I make you feel alive
I know I must be doing
Doing something right

It's because of you I feel so lifted
I've been looking at my life from higher ground
Never thought that I'd be so elated
You're the one who turned it all around

Now baby, I didn't know myself
Until you changed me
And made me understand that

If you want me I must be doing something right
I got nothing left to prove
And it's all because of you
So if you need me
And baby I make you feel alive
I know I must be doing
Doing something right
Oh

And baby I know I don't deserve the love you give me
But I don't really care, cause

If you want me I must be doing something right
I got nothing left to prove
And it's all because of you
So if you need me
And baby I make you feel alive
I know I must be doing (I know I must be doing)
Doing something right (Doing something right)

Doing something right
Yeah yeah
Something right

So if you need me
And baby I make you feel alive
I know I must be doing (I know I must be doing)
Must be doing something right
Yeah yeah
Something right



Cheesy lovey dovey lyrics...but it is how I feel about my hunny

Marry Me by Emilie Autumn

Marry me, he said, through his rotten teeth, bad breath, and then
Marry me instead of that strapping young goatherd, but when
I was in his bed, and my father had sold me
I knew I hadn’t any choice, hushed my voice, did what any girl would do and
When I’m beheaded at least I was wedded
And when I am buried at least I was married
I’ll hide my behavior with wine as my savior

But, oh, what beautiful things I’ll wear
What beautiful dresses and hair
I’m lucky to share his bed
Especially since I’ll soon be dead

Marry me, he said, god, he’s ugly, but fortune is ours
Running in the gardens enjoying men, women, and flowers
Then I break a glass and I slit my own innermost thigh
So that I can pretend that I’m menstru...well, unavailable
My life is arranged but this union’s deranged
So I’ll fuck who I choose for I’ve nothing to lose
And when master’s displeased I’ll be down on my knees again

Oh, what beautiful things I’ll wear
What beautiful dresses and hair
I’m lucky to share his bed
Especially since I’ll soon be dead

When dining on peacock I know I won’t swallow
Through balls, births, and bridge games I know what will follow
We’re coupled together through hell, hurt, and hunger
Or at least until husband finds someone younger
Yes, fertilization is part of my station
I laugh as he drabs me in anticipation
Of sons who will run things when I’m under covers
But whose children are they? Why, mine and my lover’s!

But, oh, what beautiful things I’ll wear
What beautiful dresses and hair
I’m lucky to share his bed
Especially since I’ll soon be dead
What beautiful things I’ll wear
What beautiful dresses and hair
I’m lucky to share his bed
So why do I wish I was...

The End Has Come- Ben Moody


Took from me all that I had
With my soul and spirit dead
Killing everything in me
What is one use to be free
Now to drive away the pain
I'll destroy all I distain
I'll become what I despise
Living someone elses life

Don't ever back down
Don't ever turn around
My end has come
So now I come for you

Now obsession rules my mind
This commotion makes me blind
Searching out who ever runs
Or has stolen away my life
But I've already said

Don't ever back down
Don't ever turn around
My end has come
So now I come for you
Aaaa...
Aaaa...

You trip on everything
I'll take your tired breath
I can't feel anything
I live to see you to your death
A new heart with me
As might be just as quick
Through your tortured expens
'cause I won't back down

Don't ever back down
Don't ever turn around
My end has come
So now I come for you

I'll drive you down
I'll beat you to the ground
My end has come
So now I come for you
Don't back down!

Lou Reed - "Pale Blue Eyes"

Sometimes I feel so happy
sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I feel so happy
but mostly you just make me mad
Baby, you just make me mad

Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes

Thought of you as my mountain top
thought of you as my peak
A thought of you as everything
I've had, but couldn't keep
I've had, but couldn't keep

Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes

Skip a life completely
stuff it in a cup
They said, Money is like us in time
it lies, but can't stand up
Down for you is up

Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes

It was good what we did yesterday
and I'd do it once again
The fact that you are married
only proves you're my best friend
But it's truly, truly a sin

Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes

If I could make the world as pure
and strange as what I see
I'd put you in a mirror
I'd put in front of me
I'd put in front of me

Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes

The Night- Disturbed


What has come over me?
What madness taken hold of my heart?
To run away, the only answer
Pulling me away
To fall upon (the night)
The source of my recovery
Sweet shadow taking hold of the light
Another day has been devoured
Calling me away, bringing a question
Why

For saving me from all they've taken
Let my armor fall again
Giving me the strength to face them
Feeling it taking over
Now, on a path to take it all away
There can be no better way of knowing

(Chorus)
In a world beyond controlling
Are you going to deny the savior
In front of your eyes?
Stare into the night
Power beyond containing
Are you going to remain a slave for
The rest of your life?
Give into the night

This self discovery
Redemption taking hold of my mind
A serenade of haunting voices
Calling me away
To feast upon (the night)
The source of my felicity
Dark maiden taking hold of my hand
Lead me away from hibernation
Strong and unafraid
Never a question why

For saving me from all they've taken
Let my armor fall again
Giving me the strength to face them
Feeling it taking over
Now, on a path to take it all away
There can be no better way of knowing

(Chorus)
In a world beyond controlling
Are you going to deny the savior
In front of your eyes?
Stare into the night
Power beyond containing
Are you going to remain a slave for
The rest of your life?
Give into the night

(Guitar Solo)

Give into the night

(Chorus)
In a world beyond controlling
Are you going to deny the savior
In front of your eyes
Stare into the night
Power beyond containing
Are you going to remain a slave for
The rest of your life
Give into the night

Out of touch, out of reach yeah
You could try to get closer to me
I'm in luck, I'm in deep, yeah
Hypnotized, I'm shakin' to my knees

I gotta know tonight
If you're alone tonight
Can't stop this feeling
Can't stop this fire

Oh, I get hysterical, hysteria
Oh can you feel it, do you believe it?
It's such a magical mysteria
When you get that feelin', better start believin'
'Cos it's a miracle, oh say you will, ooh babe
Hysteria when you're near
Out of me, into you yeah
You could hide it's just a one way street
Oh, I believe I'm in you, yeah
Open wide, that's right, dream me off my feet
Oh, believe in me

I gotta know tonight
If you're alone tonight
Can't stop this feeling
Can't stop this fire

Oh, I get hysterical, hysteria
Oh can you feel it, do you believe it?
It's such a magical mysteria
When you get that feelin', better start believin'
'Cos it's a miracle, oh say you will

Ooh babe
Hysteria when you're near
Come on

This is one of my favorite songs at this moment in time. His name is Adam Monroe, its beautiful what this man can do with him voice and piano. He is a GREAT musician however this song and "Waiting" are my two personal favorites.

"Convince You"

I feel your gaze over my shoulder
And I match your disappointment
You say there's nothing that I can do
But you can prevent me from trying

I can't stop thinking about this
Such a sad, sad situation
Just as we started to take off
We've fallen into accusation

I told you what I've done
Some part of you knows I'm not the devil's son
All I ask is that you consider this
In my voice you'll hear that feeling I miss
I can't believe what this turned into
What more will I have to do to convince you?

Don't you remember talking forever?
And our walk out in the cold
Getting closer and closer together
And finishing each others thoughts

I can't stop thinking about this
As you ignore ever explanation
So many times I tried to tell you
Over 3 hours of conversation

Chorus

Piano solo

I told you all that I have done
Some part of you knows I'm not the devil's son
All I ask is that you consider this
In my voice you'll hear that feeling I miss

I can't believe what this turned into
I'm telling you whatever you thought isn't true
Cause girls like you are too much to loose
What more will I have to do to convince you?

^A gorgeous song, indeed. Thank you for sharing it.

Marilyn Manson ~ Mechanical Animals

Quote:

We were neurophobic and perfect the day that we lost our souls Maybe we weren't so human But If we cry we will rust And I was a hand grenade That never stopped exploding You were automatic and as hollow as the "o" in god I am never gonna be the one for you I am never gonna save the world from you But they'll never be good for you Or bad to you They'll never be anything Anything at all You were my mechanical bride You were phenobarbidoll A manniqueen of depression With the face of a dead star And I was a hand grenade That never stopped exploding You were automatic and as hollow as the "o" in god I am never gonna be the one for you [chorus repeat] This isn't me I'm not mechanical I'm just a boy playing the suicide king

Evidence ~Faith No More




If you want to open the hole

Just put your head down and go

Step beside the piece of the circumstance

Got to wash away the taste of evidence

Wash it away (evidence)

I didn't feel a thing

It didn't mean a thing

Look in the eye and testify:

I didn't feel a thing

Anything you say, we know you're guilty

Hands above your head, you won't even feel me

You won't feel me (evidence)

Dimmu Borgir - Mourning Palace

Quote:

Daylight has finally reached it's end As evenfall strikes into the sky Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight Sickening souls cry out in pain Whispering voices summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace Feel the gloom of restless spirits Hear the screams from the Mouring Palace Feel the doom of haunting chants Eternal is their lives in misery Eternal is their lives in grief Abandoned in a void of nothingness A chain of anger, a fetter of despair In this garden of depraved beings This unsacred place of helpless ones Satan blessed the creatures Inswathed them in endless night Whispering voices, summoning screams Waiting for Satan to bless their sins Blackhearted angels fallen from grace Possessed by the search for utter darkness

Id do anything to see my Shagrath Awesome guy!!
