Songs For Our Lives

[curiositykilledthecat]

Well I sort of hijacked another thread this week dealing with finding "true love" and posted a couple of songs that have meaning to me romance wise. This lead me to think that a thread about songs that speak to you as individual. I figured I'd start and get the ball rolling.

Please give the song about a minute till it gets going, the lyrics to this song have become a rallying cry for me. The song isn't one of his better musically however I love the lyrics.

If you can find the song on youtube feel free to post.

The night calls

as the evening light fades

cast your shadow

and cover this earth

bury the surface

and possess the nights dark

come forth, put spells on my thoughts

I am the master of decease

I am the pain that grows within your soul

I am this worlds doom maker.

From another world

He arise from the ruins

wich will be their graves

spawn of satan

gather as one

and set this world in flames

We are the seeds of fire

Spreading in the wind

Masters of your sorrow

And now, we will bring you down

We are the masters of decease

we are the pain that grows within your soul

we are this worlds doom maker.

Lyrics:

The paranoia is in bloom, the PR

Transmissions will resume

They'll try to push drugs

Keep us all dumbed down and hope that

We will never see the truth around

Another promise, another scene, another

A package not to keep us trapped in greed

With all the green belts wrapped around our minds

And endless red tape to keep the truth confined

They will not force us

They will stop degrading us

They will not control us

We will be victorious

Interchanging mind control

Come let the revolution take it's toll if you could

Flick the switch and open your third eye, you'd see that

We should never be afraid to die

Rise up and take the power back, it's time that

The fat cats had a heart attack, you know that

Their time is coming to an end

We have to unify and watch our flag ascend

They will not force us

They will stop degrading us

They will not control us

We will be victorious

They will not force us

They will stop degrading us

They will not control us

We will be victorious

My favorite song right now is Fireflies by Owl City.

It really makes me happy to listen to.

I gotta add at this point probably the best song for AB/DL, and that is Gibby Haynes "Kaiser" where the chorus is "I'll be the Kaiser, you'll wear the diapers".

It can be found on Gibby's solo album "Gibby Haynes and his problem". If you don't know Gibby, he's the frontman for the "Butthole Surfers" a long unappreciated band. The only song of theirs that they play on the radio is "Pepper". My guess is that people don't like to say "Butthole Surfers" on the radio. A lot of their stuff has been used in movies though.

Peace,

Vic

Alabama's "Born Country":

Clear creeks and cool mountain mornin's.

Honest work out in the fields.

Cornbread in my momma's kitchen.

Daddy saying grace before the meal.

Family ties run deep in this land.

And I'm never very far from what I am.

I was born country and that's what I'll always be.

Like the rivers and the woodlands wild and free.

I got a hundred years of down home running through my blood.

I was born country and this country's what I love.

Moonlight and you hear beside me.

Crickets serenadin' in the yard.

What more could two people ask for.

Laying here in love beneath the stars.

Now this is where I wanna raise my kids.

Just the way my mom and daddy did.

I was born country and that's what I'll always be.

Like the rivers and the woodlands wild and free.

I got a hundred years of down home running through my blood.

I was born country and this country's what I love.

I was born country and that's what I'll always be.

Like the rivers and the woodlands wild and free.

I got a hundred years of down home running through my blood.

I was born country and this country's what I love.

I was born country

Not sure why since this song is depressing however this song was my personal anti-depressant when I was younger.

Burgundy Years-Joy electric

Dark the days that beckon me

Throughout the Northland country

But there was hope once in my heart

When minstrels sang sweet their song

From the cup you made me drink

The potions of uncertainty

My love never did perish not

I have kept the memories inside

Burgundy Years

I remember everything

Burgundy Years

Death tolls ever dark its cheers

Blood it lingers still yet stirring

Where goodwill was once endearing

I've become the caretaker

Dutifully a saint forlorn

Marriage to the brotherhood

By oaths sworn in magicians woods

The martyr of my Christian name

Slain by the scarlet crusades

chorus

Shall the words of misfits spoken

Be treated as jesters' tokens

There is but a glimmer full

Of the dim light you have cast

In time all heroes depart

But there was hope once in my heart

The song that speaks most to me is Time by Pink Floyd. its meaning is how time can slip away, and trying to catch up with time, but its a never ending battle.

THIS SONG WILL BE PLAYED AT MY FUNERAL!!!!
