#73: About a Burning Fire - Blindside

About a Burning Fire
Blindside

Genre: Hardcore



I thought about fire in the sky
I thought about fire
I thought about love burning in your eye
I thought about fire

It hurts
That drops of fire would fall so precise
And how everything else would lose its meaning
What a beautiful
What a painful surprise
There is no peace outside if there is nothing within
It hurts
But like coming home
Once dried up
I guess this is what you get
When a heart expands

I thought about fire in the sky
I thought about fire
I thought about love burning in your eye
I thought about fire

Love is destructive
For the ego
And Your voice is the only thing
That speaks rebelliously in this world of claiming
your own
There is no peace outside if there's nothing within
Love is addictive
For the spirit
And Your voice whispers with a roar
That fire rises up, refills
Place the right king on the throne

I thought about fire in the sky
I thought about fire
I thought about love burning in your eye
I thought about fire

I thought about a burning fire
I thought about a loving fire
I thought about Your love

#72: All of Us - Blindside

All of Us
Blindside

Genre: Hardcore



As soon as you stepped through my door,
I saw You for the first time all over again.
And time well spent seems
Lonelier than the way it used to go.

As I smell you for the first time all over again
I'll begin to remember to be alive
So if you don't mind
I think I'll wear my heart on my sleeve,
'Cause I'm tired of not being able to bleed.

All of us are searching for an open arm.
Well, it's a shame how I curl up in the dark


I've felt a loss for some time
I slipped, stumbled, but fell face first
straight into your hand.
Then I hit my head on your palm
And waking up to the smell
Of tears drying up in the sand

All of us are searching for an open arm.
Well, it's a shame how I curl up in the dark
When it's the same old word giving me the spark.

All of us are searching for an open arm.
Well, it's a shame how I curl up in the dark.

I washed my wounds with tears of hope.
I washed my wounds with tears of hope.
I just ...

All of us are searching for an open arm
Well, it's a shame how I pull myself apart.
When it's the same words making me run for cover to
your heart.

(All of us are searching for an open arm)
When it's the same words making me run for cover to
your heart.
(All of us are searching for an open arm)
(All of us are searching for an open arm)

#71: Fade Away - 12 Stones

Fade Away
12 Stones

Genre: Hardcore



I need you to feel exactly like I do inside
But I feel so alone again
I try to find a better life
Somewhere far away from here
But I need you to believe in me

But I won't be afraid
Just because you don't need me
I will not be ashamed
Just because you don't believe in anything that I say
Now I turn and I walk away from you

I won't fade away
I won't fade away again

I find you down the road that I have walked before
And I know you're alone again
You try to find a better life
Somewhere far away from here
But I need you to believe in me

You try to make me fade away

#70: Freakshow - Stigmata

Freakshow
Stigmata

Genre: Heavy Metal/Hardcore

Note: these are transcribed by me.. I couldn't find lyrics anywhere, and I bought the album from iTunes. This is not expected to be correct AT ALL. But it's an attempt nonetheless. If you have this song, or decide to get it, then please please help me figure out what this song is saying. If you have lyrics, I would be more than happy if you commented them or emailed them to me. If you want to suggest what it's saying, that's good too.
Also, I apologize for the lack of updates lately. I've been busy.

Update 3/8/09: tried to smooth out the rough edges of the transcription. I forgot how much I love this band.



Step right up, we've got something for you
Something you never seen to rip through you
To erupt on your spine till I swim in your head
speak out in strength as we combat the dead

pre-chorus:
People keep on Takin over your body
People keep on taking over your mind
Whatcha takin over your mouth, people taking over your mind
Keep on taking 'cuz
You don't know what it's like till you see
You can't see this until you believe

chorus:
Welcome to the Freakshow
Up in the gospel sideshow
Jesus will revive all
Welcome to the Freakshow

Step right up
We got something to see
Something to behold
Something whole to believe
Christ crucified
was cut to the bone
We come in power and we don't come alone

pre-chorus
chorus

Welcome to the Freakshow

#69: Grand Finale - Demon Hunter

Grand Finale
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metal



You'll find me face down, hands bound,
ready for the blade to make me two
If judgment falls to meet this ground,
that fate will run me through
No day of wrath will see me break
for that faithless breath of shame
When the heretics come to make that list,
be true to speak my name

Leave all you see
The curse of man is dead
The hourglass turned on its head
And every care will fade away
To wake a new day

Take every throe within us all
The very breath inside our soul
We bleed the life into your hold
The very death of our control

No man can bring a fatal sting
And I laugh at the gallows thrall
Just line it tight around my neck
so my words will break that fall

Leave all you see
The curse of man is dead
The hourglass turned on its head
And every care will fade away
To wake a new day

That final day will fall
And those who curse the sky will face the earth
The many turn to one
The God of Gods' own righteous son
Begging for that second birth

#68: The Wrath of God - Demon Hunter

The Wrath of God
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metalcore



Tear at the voice inside
Dig a deeper tomb
and all the self can finally resonate
Tread on the path of pride
You can be the god
and let the faith become your enemy

Breathe redemption into wasted life
Closer, closer
Find the wrath of God inside your eyes
Closer, closer

Breath dee / And as the fear before you falls
I know the pain is so unsettling
Breath deep / So now you've built a thousand walls
But in the end it's all unraveling

Stand with a worthless sign
Wave it in the path
of every face you cannot tolerate

Breathe redemption into wasted life
Closer, closer
Find the wrath of God inside your eyes
Closer, closer

This is the last day that you will regret
Wake from your sleep and never forget
This is the last day that you will regret
Closer, closer

Closer, closer, closer, closer

#67: Fading Away - Demon Hunter

Fading Away
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metalcore



It's in this wake that I find myself
losing the will to resume this Hell
When every breath is a dying wish,
it's harder to follow the point of this

This broken place that I call my home
has deepened the sorrow that I have sown
And I can't erase what is in my heart
I want it to finish before it starts

My own solution insufficient again
No false illusion, this devouring threat
I break the veseel, giving air to its red
And open my fate to the darkened sky

I've been fading away
I've been waiting on the call to reach my veins
Ready or not
No attention to waste
Every sorrow of the soul will read my name
When I cease to exist

So now I've come to the final sleep
I pray that forgiveness is mine to keep
I know it's hard to forget this man
Driving the failure into your hands

My own solution insufficient again
No fake illusion, this devouring threat
I break the vessel, giving air to its red
And open my fate to the darkened sky

#66: Fire To My Soul - Demon Hunter

Fire To My Soul
Demon Hunter
Genre: Metalcore

Note: The following video is fan-made.




We flow with bitter words that file sharp our teeth
And we bite off our own tongues
We trample any trace of Your divinity's hope
And we'll sacrifice our young
With our eyes sewn shut now the light can't shine
Oh, we'll never wake from dead
And when You beg for us to open up and let you in
We'll cut You out instead

You promised you'd give us Your word
We never believed it was true
And we pretend that we never heard
'Cause we still don't believe in You

I heard you calling, setting fire to my soul
Is this the voice we die for?
We die for life

We built a wall to keep You out
Ignoring every word
And we saw yYour face behind our thoughts
Apathetic to what we'd heard

You promised you'd give us Your word
We never believed it was true
And we pretend that we never heard
'Cause we still don't believe in You

I heard you calling, setting fire to my soul
Is this the voice we die for?
We die for life

Why does it falter? We built it all ourselves
Why does it hurt so bad, forsaking all this help?
Why are we choking on pills designed to heal?
We threw our hearts away 'cause we're too afraid to feel

I heard you calling, setting fire to my soul
Is this the voice we die for?
We die for life

#65: Brand New Man - Seventh Day Slumber

Brand New Man
Seventh Day Slumber

Genre: Rock

Note: Yeah, I'm putting in a lot of songs today. It's partially in early celebration of Thanksgiving, and partially because I've been slow on updates lately. Call it what you want.



A morning rainbow fills the sky, I think I’m dead
But I know I’m not dead yet
I’ve been missing You, You’ve been here all along
I guess sometimes I just forget
There was comfort in Your breath
You made me believe that life was worth it

Chorus:
I’m a brand new man. I will never be the same
I’m a brand new man. I will never be the same

I remember the day that I met You. The emptiness I had
Could fill a mountain. And I believed it was true,
My pain would never go away
But there was comfort in Your breath,
You made me believe that life was worth it.

(Chorus)

And I’m not looking back
My past is far behind me, yeah
I’m stronger every day
You’ve made me a brand new man

(Chorus)

#62: Sixteen - Demon Hunter

Sixteen
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metalcore



Sixteen. Oh holy day
Your time has come and passed
The rapture we've been waiting for
has come to us at last
Sixteen for every fake, sixteen to every whore
Wipe that dirt from off your face
Sixteen is at your door

Oh, voiceless, wasted
You soaked your heart in gasoline
Now light it up and burn

The same cycle ever-turning you is calling
It's calling
The scene is begging for a grave tonight
It always, it always will

You take the name of love divine
and drag it through your blood
Now turn to face what you have made
And morn what you have done

Oh, voiceless, wasted
You soaked your heart in gasoline
Now light it up and burn
Voiceless, wasted
I came this far to drag you down
And watch you take your turn

Farewell to false pretension
Farewell to hollow words
Farewell to fake affection
Farewell, tomorrow burns

#61: Incision - Demon Hunter

Incision
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metalcore



Don't leave us
They said that you had gone astray
Don't lead us away from the light

We stood behind the veil
and watched you walk away from us
You shattered all our dreams in one fatal mistake

You fractured every piece of life that we cared about
Remember how you breathed in us new life
and then you took it away
You'll never live that down

I gave you every guiding word to cut it off
Now you hand me back the blade
to make that first incision for you

Wait and see
The weight of life may be the end of me;
The tension, break me

We held you up on high
So why did you abandon us?
We never thought you'd be the one to fall so far

You fractured every piece of life that we cared about
Remember how you breathed in us new life
and then you took it away
You'll never live that down

I gave you every guiding word to cut it off
Now you hand me back the blade
to make that first incision for you

For you

#60: Carry Me Down - Demon Hunter

Carry Me Down
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metal



And if you see me losing ground
don't be afraid to lie
I know the pain inside my heart
can't break the fear inside of yours
And if you see me losing faith
in what it means to die
Don't let me leave before I know
what lies behind the stained glass doors

Save sorrow for the souls in doubt
Bleed every care out

Will you carry me down the aisle that final day
With your tears,
and cold hands, shaking from the weight
When you lower me down beneath sky of gray,
let the rain fall down and wash away your pain

For every word we never spoke
we have a tear to cry
For every silence like a wall
between a better you and I
So if you see me losing sight
of all the death in life
You'll find the peace
in every time I failed to see the death mine

Let all the fear inside you drown
Tear out the blade and lay it down
Save sorrow for the souls in doube
Bleed every care out

Oh, the blood is rushing out
Oh, I'm better off without
Oh, the walls are closing in
Oh, sing for me again

(Rain down, oh rain down, no one care for the flood)

Featured Album #1: Storm the Gates of Hell - Demon Hunter

Demon HunterStorm The Gates Of Hell
Genre: Metalcore/Metal

Released: November 6, 2007

Storm The Gates Of Hell, though different from their prior albums, is still very identifiable to the band. This album, while having more religious undertones, keeps Demon Hunter's ideal of providing all-around good metalcore, ranging from the slower songs (Carry Me Down) to the fast, more hardcore songs (Storm The Gates Of Hell). Alongside this tradition, they keep to providing beautiful vocals in tune perfectly with their intense growling, presenting a unique take on the typical metalcore style. If you aren't into metalcore, however, I have found that there is little hope of taking refuge solely with this band; on the other hand, if you are a fan of metalcore, or simply don't mind the genre, then check out this album. You will thank yourself for it.

01. Storm The Gates Of Hell
02. Lead Us Home
03. Sixteen
04. Fading Away
05. Carry Me Down
06. A Thread Of Light
07. I Am You
08. Incision
09. Thorns
10. Follow The Wolves
11. Fiction Kingdom
12. The Wrath Of God
13. *No Reason To Exist
14. *Grand Finale

Walk me to the desert
And leave me
I'll dig my own way home

#58: The Poisoning - Living Sacrifice

The Poisoning
Living Sacrifice

Genre: Death Metal



The name across your chest means nothing to me
The things you have don’t make a man complete
Living life in a box to attain
Insipid life in a box to attain
I’ve seen the way in which I should go
Darkened by the flash of light so false as to blind
The fad is fleeting
Crawling on your hands and knees you’ve shown us the beautiful things
All the best at your grasp, façade is complete
This plow is hard and rough
My back breaks under the yoke that has attached
That has attached
It was all a lie
It was all a lie
The way that seems right
All the world is for sale
Crawling on your hands and knees
All the world is for sale
You’ve shown us the beautiful things
All the world is for sale
All the best at your grasp
All the world is for sale
It was all a lie
It was all a lie
The way that seems right

#57: Chorus of Angels - Haste the Day

Chorus of Angels
Haste the Day

Genre: Metalcore



Chorus of angels, destroy my silence,
That haunts me, It claims me,
While darkness walks beside me.

I saw the angels sing along to wake up the beautiful sleeping world.
Their voices will rise to test the strength of man.
Wake up the beautiful sleeping world.

We will see the fire.
The skies will open up.
The clouds will burn red and our sins will forget us.
And time will not shake us.
Our hearts are made of gold.
These walls won’t over-take us.
These walls won’t over-take us.

I saw the angels sing along to wake up the beautiful sleeping world.
Their voices will rise to test the strength of man.
Wake up the beautiful sleeping world.

Chorus of angels, destroy my silence,
That haunts me, It claims me,
While darkness walks beside me.

Chorus of angels, lead me in a prayer that will shake the foundations of the earth.
Wake up now.

Conceived in fire
Panic Strike
I cannot breathe

Embrace this heat
Like love
Complete in me to see what I could not see

Amniotic suspension
Heart rate rhythmic
Surrounded by sound blood
Nourished, blood nourished
This union by love destroyed the pain and changes everything

This life inside
Symbiotic conceived in fire
Waves of emotion
Lifted

Consuming fire
Burning sin like wheat

This union by love destroys the pain
This union by love changes everything
This life inside

Conceived in fire

#55: Not I - Demon Hunter

Not I
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metalcore



So now you're suffering
the fallacy of what you said
When you uncover the depression
from where you've tread
Breathe over the glass you wrote on
Swallow all that you waste your throat on
You wear the make and wave the banner
they made with sin
Revealing every single lie
that you've been breeding within
Wash over the skin you've broken
Think over the tone you spoke in

(Pre-chorus:)
So lost in your affliction / addiction
The solemn comfort of your grave
If you close your eyes
the light can't take it away

(Chorus:)
Not I - I won't conform to what I see in you
Not I - I won't surrender what I am
Not I - And even if it was a part of me
Not I - I'll never be that way again

The blind will follow on the path
that you created in vain
No guiding light, but just the shadow
of the dead will remain
Dig open the pain you're hiding
Give your hand to the faith you're fighting
The void you suffer is a curse
forever bleeding inside
Now you embrace the fatal sickness
you should despise
Remember the day you lost that
Where is the shame that will
bring your soul back

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)

Reach back behind your pride
And pull the thorn from your burning pain in your
side

Sing me a new song
A broken song of redemption and regret
Sing me a new song
And beg for all the mercy you can get

(Chorus)

#54: Revolution - P.O.D.

Revolution
P.O.D.

Genre: Nu Metal

Note: The conclusion to the four-part mass of songs for today, and so as to remind anyone who may be reading this, is in celebration of my friend's birthday.



More calm than a heartbeat that flat lines
Quiet like a dark street under the moonlight
A phrase of action that's been screamed by the guts of men,
Ever since they're first experienced
Injustice, prejudice, discrimination
A word louder than a gunshot
And softer than a baby's laugh, it will pass
Just like it always has. Until it spits of the lips
The next man who's had it up to here.

Did somebody say a Revolution?
Or is it all in my head?
Is that what it takes to make a solution
Your Revolution

I'm not the first or the last to imagine it
Acknowledge the concepts, question and grasp it
Rebel against the eye and bring down the cell.
Mutiny, me overthrow you
Rebellion starts within, the time is now

Did somebody say a Revolution?
Or is it all in my head?
Is that what it takes to make a solution, solution

Did somebody say a Revolution?
Or is it all in my head?
Is that what it takes to make a solution
Your Revolution

Purple skies, Devil eyes, Hypnotize
Little lies, Compromise, Fireflies
Samurais, parasite, fly by night, after life, materialize
Look alike, stereotype, do or die, lullaby, black and white

Did somebody say a Revolution?
Or is it all in my head?
Is that what it takes to make a solution, solution

Did somebody say a Revolution?
Or at least it's been said
Is that what it takes to make a solution?
Your Revolution

No resolution - Your Revolution
And what's your solution? - Your Revolution
And no substitution - Your Revolution
And no resolution - Your Revolution
And what's your solution?

#53: Supafly - Thousand Foot Krutch

Supafly
Thousand Foot Krutch

Genre: Alternative

Note: Yeah, still on a roll. Hey, it's her birthday. I need to do something special. Another song she told me she likes.



We smashing,
thousand be the head of the class 'n'
rollin thru ya party with the stereo blastin' we creepin'
it's bin' seven since last weekend,
everybody in the club freekin'
and in the corner, I can see ya standin' there,
black jacket 'n' long hair we've been exchanging stares,
'n' I know ya, 'n' what'cha thinkin' yeah right,
wearin' ya clothes air-tight at the club every night 'n',
don't'cha know that brothers don't like the girls,
that be into the guys that be tellin them lies 'n' listen here hun, life's more than this,
ya tryin to tell me that'cha never get bored of this?,

Yo, check this who you eye'in up for ya set list,
frontin' with ya fake gold necklace,
not respected, 'n' yet ya wonderin' why,
seen the gleam in ya eyes, as soon as ya spotted the $,
girl what's next? who you hittin' up for the rolex?
brothers need to *check* their specs,
boy ya gettin' gamed on, thinkin' she loves you 'n' all that,
need to get it all back, move on 'n' step off that,
she's the wrong type, but same goes for females,
cuz' guys be spittin' lies, not telling the details,
in the fine print, baby girl, don't sweat it,
cuz one of these days you'll regret it,
and yo, the moral of the story is,
dogs and cats are notorious, for gettin' funny around cash money,
so lesson learned, 'n' ya playin' with fire get burned,
respect yourself, peace, kid hope ya learned

You think ya somethin' more ya so supafly,
blind to the fact you're blind, you're so empty inside,
it's hard for me to get this thru to you,
blind to the fact ya blind, baby, blind, baby,

Well it's the Sundance Kid,
yo the rap villain, man for real and,
peeps catchin' feelin's of the lyrical caps that I'm peeling,
makin' noise y'all, me 'n' my krutch boys y'all, stand tall,
cuz yo we ain't never gonna fall, man forget that,
yo, we'll keep constantly comin' right back,
like CHRIST when he rose on the third
strikin' ya nerves take ya down, down, like Titanic to icebergs,
if ya messin' with a girl for her curves,
and yo, ya might be, you think ya somethin high and mighty,
might be that you be frontin,
most likely, no doubt, money be singin' the same song,
respect yourself hun, it's the 34th Psalm

And sometimes I feel, so unbreakable, I'm so forsakeable,
I'm shattered,
and things aren't as they seem,
they're so in between, they're so make believe,
that it's un-real,
and wake me up when things are better,
cuz I can't take much more of this and take these rags,
but leave my comfortable sweater,
and leave me alone, then leave me alone, alone, alone, a-lone

#52: Sun - Dizmas

Sun
Dizmas

Genre: Rock

Note: these are inscribed by me. I can't find lyrics anywhere. Expect some error or another. And yeah, the format is composed of lots of short lines.. but I like it that way.
And yes, this is also in honor of my friend's birthday. Otherwise, I wouldn't have put two songs up today. Happy birthday. :)


Does the sun
Keep on shinin'
On me

'Cuz I don't wanna go alone
I don't wanna let you down
You're all I've got.

I know
This world
Is not the end of me.
Am I a good kid?

But do I have to fight for you?
Or do you save me on your own?
'Cuz you're all I've got.

I know
This world
Is not the end of me.
Am I a good kid?

Let the sun keep on shining
On me.
I don't wanna let you down.
Keep your promise, keep on shining
On me

Do I make you proud?

Let the sun keep on shining
On me
I don't wanna let you down.
Keep your promise, keep on shining

'Cuz you're all I've got.

Sleeping Awake
P.O.D.

Genre: Nu Metal

Note: Today is my friend's birthday. In fact, I may even go as far as to say, my best friend's birthday, but I'm sure someone's trademarked that term by now. I remember her telling me that she likes this song, and since then I've been listening to it constantly.. But anyway, everyone wish her a happy birthday. Happy birthday! :)



Reveal to me the mysteries
Can you tell me what it means?
Explain these motions and metaphors
Unlock these secrets in me
Describe the vision, the meaning is missing
Won't anybody listen?

Define the riddles of my mind
Nothing is really what it seems

Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Sleeping Awake
Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Can't stop Sleeping Awake

Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel what I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake
Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel like I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping...

Can you see it? The writing,
Can you tell me what it means?
Translate the symbols, Enigma
Expressions keep questioning me
The message is written, the meaning is missing
Won't anybody Listen?

Prophesy, interpretate the signs
Nothing is really what it seems

Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Sleeping Awake
Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Can't stop Sleeping Awake

Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel what I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake
Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel like I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake

Do you see what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
And do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
And do you feel like I feel?
And can you dream like I dream?

Do you see what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
Or do you feel like I feel?
Or do you dream like I dream?
Anybody see me?
Anybody hear me?
Anybody feel me?
Anybody out there?!?

Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Sleeping Awake
Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Can't stop Sleeping Awake

Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel what I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake
Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel like I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake

Anybody see me?
Anybody hear me?
Anybody feel me?
Anybody out there?!?

#50: Our Happy Home - David Crowder Band

Our Happy Home
David Crowder

Note:
Yeah, this isn't the kind of song I'd typically put on this site. However, it's song #50; I didn't want it to be just like all of the others.
So here's my tribute to Christian music: Our Happy Home.



Hallelujah, we are on our way
Hallelujah, we are on our way to God
From Egypt lately come
Where death and darkness reign to seek our new
Our better home where we our rest shall gain
There sin and sorrow cease and every conflict’s o’er
There we shall dwell in endless peace and never hunger more

Jerusalem, our happy home

Would God I were in Thee
Would God my woes were at an end
Thy joy that I might see
We soon shall join the throng
Their pleasures we shall share
And sing the everlasting song
With all the ransomed there

There in celestial strains enraptured myriads sing
There love in every bosom reigns for God Himself is King

#49: Mouth Like A Magazine - Showbread

Mouth Like A Magazine
Showbread

Genre: Metal



Turning over in interrupted slumber,
You ponder others, growing ever wakeful,
You've locked the vermin in the other bedroom,
To be so perfect causes you to feel so thankful,
Now find the fault because your boyfriend can't read,
Reflecting on to you is all the bitterness you need,
So unhappy, yet so preoccupied,
Never found beaten down with your forked tongue tied.

Your eulogy is like poetry,
But your mouth is like a magazine.

Queen dependency is cowering, please don't be confused,
You are vacant and submissive, receptive to abuse,
Virtue isn't tangible, and sense of self is dated,
Names constant on your cracked lips are now eviscerated,
Your spine is made of metal, Your veins are bound in electric tape,
And all along an impulse lights at random in your face,
Yough cought up an offering and forget which words are lies,
Then your skull echoes a singeing pop, as your brain is cauterized.

Within the walls I hear all of its legs,
There must be so many to carry it over our heads,
Seething and unsettled and oh such a let down,
And now these rusty spokes inside my head are making such a grating sound.

#48: Age of Reptiles - Showbread

Age of Reptiles
Showbread

Genre: Rock



I am made of parts that freeze and ligaments that atrophy
Though they look they'll never see
They don't know something's wrong with me
And just as well, I'll never tell what's underneath the scales
I've worn to thin to honor you, my every effort fails
Bury me with Israel and cover up my tracks
Leave not a trace of what I was, I'm never coming back
And if you're mercy falls upon he whose blood is cold
Unearth me with your hands of love and never break your hold

The world is full of ones like me
Who need to see the truth
But the truth is never truth indeed
The truth is only you

Jesus bless the crocodiles, forgive the cobras and all the snakes
Open up your arms to carry all of our mistakes
Suck the venom from every bite and vomit every drop
Some of us may bite your hand but some of us will not
And every knee will bow before you, each forked tongue confess
My selfishness will rot in me and I will seek your rest
Still some lizards flee from you, ashamed of all they've been
So Jesus take myself from me, never bring it back again

The world is full of ones like me, who need to see the truth
But the truth is never truth indeed, the truth is only you
The world will soon become extinct, the age will pass away
And all will know that you are God, hallowed be your name

Jesus bless the crocodiles, forgive the cobras and all the snakes
Open up your arms to carry all of our mistakes
Forgive the basilisk, forgive the moccasins and adders too
Have mercy on each alligator that never lived for you
I myself hatched from an egg, no white light from above
Just another ancient serpent that never earned your love
But still you find me underneath the rocks and in the ground
I cowered there just short of air and never made a sound
It's true that I'm in love with you, and even in my shame
You wipe away the imperfections and take away the pain
You wrap your loving arms around this wretched thing called me
Your love is all I'll ever need, your love has set me free

The truth is only you.

I walk the world on insect legs beneath an unforgiving sun
Eat the dirt throughout my days On the dirt and dirt I come undone
Messiah born in Bethlehem won't find me lying there
The world's too big for him to see me or hear the things I've said
Hold me to you as I pray, Take the rest of the world away
My blood runs warm because of you, The scales fall out of my eyes
I laughed in the keep of a man with a rose my mandibles are caked in trash
Thought you wouldn't recognize me, in the black of soot and ash
Don't turn deaf into my voice, but one thing I want you to know:
I have always loved you though my life has never said so
Hold me to you as I pray, Take the rest of the world away
My blood runs warm because of you, The scales fall out of my eyes
Hold me to you as I pray, Take every other thing away
My heart is breaking out for you, The scales are out of my eyes

I love you Lord, and I lift my voice
To worship you, Oh, my soul rejoice
Take joy my King in what you hear
May it be a sweet, sweet sound in your ear

#47: Coffin Builder - Demon Hunter

Coffin Builder
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metalcore



My fall draws near.

My life fell out of my hands and into
This hole where everything's cold
I lose the feeling of guilt. There's
nothing inside, my innocence died.
And now the emptiness grows, it's
bringing me down and taking my crown
I've seen where everything's dark.
It's here in my soul, I'm losing control.

CHORUS:
Have mercy on me.
Have mercy on me.
Have mercy on me for every thorn I've driven in.

Within these walls you'll see
Alone in here - the end.

Before my very last day I'm making it stop.
I'm turning it off.
I'll fight the feeling I have until everything's
Gone. Resistance has won
Now time is healing these wounds and
You are still here releasing my fear
My life fell out of my hands. They
took it away, I'm taking it back.

(CHORUS)

And everyday I feel like this weight's
Constantly dragging me down
Broken for the last time (Never get the best of me, won't get the best of me)
I've got a heart of steel, but your words are
Constantly bringing me down.
I'm open for the first time (Never get the best of me, wont' get the best of me)

(CHORUS)

My fall drawns near.

Strength of My Life
P.O.D.

Genre: Nu Metal



Yo! Eternal rhythms in your system so clear.
No negative take your isms stay cleared
We keep it lovely, give you want you want hear (no you won't hear)
And Matisyahu in the house, stand clear.
P.O.D. in the house, stand clear.
If Jah is for me, tell me whom I gon' fear? (no I won't fear)
And Jah of Jacob, deserving of my love
And God of Isaac, bring blessings from above
Hashem of Abraham will show me the way
I go down on my knees and this is what I pray.

Strength Of My Life, whom shall I dread?
When them evildoers approach to devour my flesh.
Even if there would be an army against me,
My heart would not fear.

Steer clear from weird vibes.
Chuck a spear these evil guys must realize,
Even if there would rise a war against me.
In this I trust, it's a must.
Elevated is my head, above my enemy.
Surround me with the song of glory
(Yeah, Song of glory, Yeah, ohhh)

Take away the scales from my eyes
Anoint your love upon my life
Have mercy on my soul and hear me when I cry
Do not abandon me, and don't forsake me
Lead me on the path of integrity

Even if there would be an army against me,
My heart would not fear.
Strength Of My Life, whom shall I dread?
When them evildoers approach to devour my flesh.

Back them up against the wall, stumble and fall then battle y'all
And stand tall, show me favor when I call Oh-oh
Back them against the wall, stumble and them fall
Battle y'all and stand call, show me favor when I call
Oh-oh-oh, yo, Matisyahu, P.O.D.
Eternally, with his majesty
Dwelling in the songs of glory

#45: The Awakening - Demon Hunter

The Awakening
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metalcore



Editor's Note: These lyrics may not be 100% valid. I'm getting conflicting lyrics from different sites, but I went through and corrected them where I saw it was needed. Again, I'm not certain if I fixed them completely or not.


Fall into the flood of your awakening
Drown. You're just a trace of what I used to be

Waging the battle for the appreciation you'll never win
Behold the army that will hearken with open souls
A tiny voice of pester softer than a drop of a pin
And so naive thinking you were
The source you told
I was composing the beginning before you had begun
Where did you sharped such a tongue
For the sound you spill
I want the honor for the favor that I've already won
Without the ignorant deduction
That you reveal

Give me the pain of something real
No empty notion, I want to see the pressure rising
Give in a way that I can feel
When you disgrace me I want to see your eyes burn

Fall into the flood of your awakening
Drown. You're just a trace of what I used to be

You wrote the words you couldn't
Stomach manifesting with breath
I read the thoughts you never
Questions would show me your face
If confrontation were to wake and
Rear it's ugly head
I get the feeling you'd be wanting it all erased
This simple gossip is your only definition of life
And what a vacant purpose taking it to your grave
There is no threat of loss in
Hearing the slant you cry
Oh what a fool to think you fell
On the mass you crave

Give me the pain of something real
No empty notion, I want to see the pressure rising
Give in a way that I can feel
When you disgrace me I want to see your eyes burn

Fall into the flood of your awakening
Drown. You're just a trace of what I used to be

Awaken from the delusion of validity
Awaken into the truth of how it used to be
Wake up

Fall into the flood of your awakening
Drown. You're just a trace of what I used to be

Awaken

#44: Bounce - Thousand Foot Krutch

Bounce
Thousand Foot Krutch

Genre: Rock



Verse 1
We come rushing through your stereo system,
into your ear canal, like the alignment of the solar system
Have you forgotten about the days when,
We just wanted to rock, 'cause we like it that way, and
No more hate, no more lies, no more politics,
So sick of fakes, who cry, over copied riffs,
This is the day, that we rise, and we conquer it,
Raise your mics to the sky, like apocalypse

Chorus:
Everyone Bounce, show me what it's all about,
Don't scream just Bounce, 'cause we're takin' over now
it's TFK, we rock the party,
and keep the party jumpin'
In an old school way

Verse 2:
Situation restless, like someone tryin'
to sneek up on the guest list,
play for a team that's called "not to mess with",
And check out the scenario, let the sound ya hear, control your stereo
Turn it up, and let the people know,
I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go,
this is the day, that we rise, and we Conquer it,
raise our mics to the sky, like apocalypse

Chorus 2:
Everyone Bounce, show me what it's all about,
Don't scream just Bounce, 'cause we're takin' over now
it's TFK, we rock the party, and keep the party jumpin'
In an old school way
Bounce, show me what it's all about,
Don't talk just Bounce, get up and let it all hang out,
If ya find it hard to breathe, ya better just leave,
we 'bout to make it hotter than the third degree

Breakdown:
Let's brake this mold, can't let this hold us,
(Build up) Let's be soldiers, no longer let them control us,
Boys and girls, together we'll shake the world,
If you believe, then put it to the sky with me
If you agree, there's more to this then what we see,
And what we know, then bounce 'till ya lose control,
And grab a partner, we about to make this hotter,
turn up the heat, when we get this started

The time has come now shake up the dust 'till it settles in the sun

BOUNCE

Bounce! (get up 'n'), Bounce! (wake up 'n'),
Bounce! (stand up 'n'), let your spirit fly

Chorus 2:
Everyone Bounce, show me what it's all about,
Don't scream just Bounce, 'cause we're takin' over now
it's TFK, we rock the party, and keep the party jumpin'
In an old school way
Bounce, show me what it's all about,
Don't talk just Bounce, get up and let it all hang out,
If ya find it hard to breathe, ya better just leave,
we 'bout to make it hotter than the third degree

43

Boom
P.O.D.

Genre: Nu Metal



I never knew that a kid like me
Could take his mic around the world
and flash the big S.D.
And rock the masses, from Madrid to Calabassas
Tijuana, Mexico, bootleg demos in Tokyo

They know me though, ‘cause I be puttin’ in work
Commit my life to rebirth, well respected,
‘cause that’s my word
I’m sure you heard, about a new sound
going around
She might have left my hood,
but she was born in my town

We rep. the South, so what you talking about
I’m not running off my mouth, I know this without a doubt
‘Cause if you know these streets, then these streets know you
When it’s time to handle business, then you know what to do
Me and my crew, we stay true, old skool or new
Many were called, but the chosen are few
We rise to the top, what you want? Just in case you forgot
Rush the stage, grab my mic, show me what you got

You didn’t know, thought we was new on the scene
Well, it’s alright! It’s alright!
I know you know, I see you smiling at me
Well, it’s alright! It’s alright!

Chorus:
Boom! Here comes the Boom!
Ready or not, here comes
the boys from the South
Boom! Here comes the Boom!
How you like me now?

Is that all you got?
I’ll take your best shot.

#42: Turn Your Back And Run - Demon Hunter

Turn Your Back And Run
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metalcore



I'm growing partial to detesting a disease in me.
It's head swells into beautiful. Dependency.
With teeth that feed on flesh and everything.
I swear I am not.
A small price to bleed and give you everything that you want.

Dancing with the spirit, giving heart to pump a dirty vein.
Leaving with a scar, a uniform to bruise a perfect stain.
Anything you hate will be the root of everything you breathe.
Breathing in the dirt will leave you hating all that you conceive.

I try to push myself up, I'm breaking from the inside.
I'm slipping through the cracks and i try to push it out of mind.
Switch, you've got to turn your back and run.

To push it out is just a patch to heal a gaping wound.
A brass tack to pin a hair and heal a broken tomb.
I never thought I'd be the one to bring it down to this.
My last thought is through a statement and a shattered fist.

Face down, fearless, light me up, end this.

I try to push myself up, I'm breaking from the inside.
I'm slipping through the cracks and I try to push it out of mind.
Switch, you've got to turn your back and run.

Microns from the flame head.
Beat my hands to proceed nothing.
Staring into souls with blind eyes.
Taking the throne in my tiny hand.

And chase it with the pain.
You won't have life until you run.
You got to give it all away.

I try to push myself up, I'm breaking from the inside.
I'm slipping through the cracks and I try to push it out of mind.
Switch, you've got to turn your back and run.

Had it all wanted more so you got you some fast cash to keep you rollin', yeah!
Your credit cards slit your throat, now it won't let go [won't let go]
Yeah you've gotta get out before it takes control
it's a big black hole it'll swallow your soul

When greed is all that motivates
You'll hang yourself and seal your fate

And you'll go down swingin' from an old tree
suicide of the worst degree
it'll be too late to get yourself free
'cause you'll be too far down
was it worth the betrayal that made you bleed
to get your silver to feed your greed
oh it's a deadly sin so don't let it in, don't let it in

For what it's worth everything on the Earth's not enough
To keep you going
What you want never need only fuels you're greed, yeah!
Yeah, you gotta get out before it takes control
it's a big black hole that'll swallow your soul

When greed is all that motivates,
You'll hang yourself and seal your fate

And you'll go down swingin from an old tree
suicide of the worst degree
it'll be too late to get yourself free
cause you'll be too far down
was it worth the betrayal that made you bleed
to get your silver to feed your greed
oh it's a deadly sin don't let it in

All of the pennies in your pockets
won't get you through the needles eye
The one thing that you're needing
money just can't buy

And you'll go down swingin' from an old tree
suicide of the worst degree
it'll be too late to get yourself free
cause you'll be too far down
was it worth the betrayal that made you bleed
to get your silver to feed your greed
Oh it's a deadly sin, so don't let it in, don't let it in, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Southtown
P.O.D.

Genre: Rock



Welcome to hard times, back again like its never been
For the first time it seem to mess with my head
When I realize what it takes, can I relate
With whatever, but never will it drive me to hate
Could be the next guy that you take before I wake
Now I lay me down to sleep, eyes tight when I pray
This her is real life, circumstances make you think
Should I be counting my blessings, the next second my eyes blink

chorus:
Here in the Southtown you know that kid don't play
Put it down it the streets, will I see another day
If I make it back this time, gots to hold what is mine
And thank God that I made it alive

One love it's easier said than done
Can I rise above anything that gets in my way?
Like words you say, you let your tongue get loose
And when push comes to shove, I'm not used to walking away
I keep on looking up, because these times are getting tough
Tomorrow's gone and it's the same o' song
Father fill my cup, give me strength to power up
A life to shine, you're the diamond in this rough

It ain't got to be like this

Don't wanna throw up my fist, Don't wanna be like this
Don't wanna throw up my fist, I must resist

It ain't got to be like this

(Chorus)

Here in the southtown

Breathe!
Suffocation within
because of what your sayin'
To understand!

Smother me with your ways, to death, no breath.
Your choking what little faith I have left.
In time I find the truth lies,
Inside the truth lies, Inside

Breathe!
Suffocation within

To understand!
Is to begin again
Yet to Begin!
Is to live again

I would die, to breathe again
I would die, to breathe again

Genre: Nu Metal



Our time has come, watch me set it off
It’s been a while but we back
So you can count it loss

We lay and wait, don’t hesitate
When opportunity knocks
Break the locks and rush the gates
Seize the day, we got moves to make
It’s got to be now
Cause we’re half past late

Say what you say, but you ain’t shown me nothin
If you want me to feel you
Then you best to show me something
All bark and no bite, talking all hype
I hang with the illest
You I don’t recognize

Desensitize and paralyze
Sabotage headquarters
Flood your bloodlines, we sterilize

Here we come
Chant down dem Babylon
The wicked man when he sees me I go run
Me understand
Why dem cowards don’t want none
Underground blaze the sound to Armageddon

(Chorus 2x:)
RISE - Let your spirit fly
RISE- Stand up for yourself
RISE- Hold your head up high

Our time has come
Set it off

Choose my battles, unravel your crew
Dismantle, they still can’t handle or fathom
What I throw at ‘em

I can’t imagine, they babblin’
Acting like I’m laughing, don’t find it funny
But I smile at your sarcasm

You plastic, so tragic, you fake
So you mask it, no gimmicks, no antics
We real and we’ve outlasted

Your phoniness, so you best to come correct
You want to disrespect
Why do cowards talk the loudest

Papa didn’t raise no punk
On everything I love, if you ready
Then come and get it son

Overpower the strong tower
Infiltrate top ranks
Count down the final hour

Here we come
Chant down dem Babylon
The wicked man when he sees me I go run

Me understand
Why dem cowards don’t want none
Underground blaze the sound to Armageddon

(Chorus)

We made it this far don’t you quit on me

Erosion
Oh, Spirit fall like rain on my thirsty sould

The thirstiest grounds can't take the rain
My undecided vices washing on down the drain
And it looks like the sky is caving in again
My heart is cracked, the sky goes black
And tut, tut, it looks like rain

Oh, Erosion, would You wash away my sins
Oh, Erosion, I need a second start again
Oh, Erosion, would You break my heart again
Oh, Erosion, I am a broken hearted man

Give me strength and power flow through I dreads ('nough said)
You all walk with kings, talk with kings
When it all goes down, have no idea what it really means.
To live by words, if scripture is roots,
and the wise hold they tongue when the youth speak the truth.
You learn real quick, where I'm from if you don't belong
Only the strong survive, Southtown and Babylon
(See Babylon Burnin to the ground yo)
You think your number 1 wicked selecta
Try to sneak up in my hood, we not gon'let ya

You can run and hide, in the end we gon' getcha
Boom Biddy Bye Bye

So rep the streets you ride on.
Chant them down with that rude boy sound,

We go make the world go lie down.

Me say, Hey natty dreadlocks where you come from?
Where the mountains watch the city and waters touch the sun
Where some carry crosses like others carry guns
And pray Jah be glorified till the day soon come.
Follow me
Lick a shot if you a mighty warrior
Lick a shot if you a freedom fighter
Lick a shot if you a true souljah
Now dance your way back to Zion
(Now Dance your way back to Zion)

And let the stories be told how the battle was won
So I grabbed the microphone and I started to run
Here I come, Boom Biddy Bye

Empty nation just a phase, redemptions on it's way.
The people love to talk but they don't got that much to say.
Generation of orphans whose hearts are all ablaze,
Little light in a lot of darkness goes a long way.
Freedom, hearts bleed, and I see them feedin poison.
Poor choices, spirits screamin, trying to break these boundaries.
Running up a mountain, chains tied to my feet.
Running up a mountain, chains tied to my feet.

Original Roots In Stereo
So rep the streets you ride on.
Chant them down with that rude boy sound,
and watch the whole world lie down.
We generals in the streets they know

It got that champion sound moshin through your town
We go make the world go lie down.
We go make the world go lie down.
Make the world go lie down.

Bloodstain drippin through the rain,
Face down, trip and feel the pain.
Get up, you conduct your own train, rippin it up, stepping it up, raising it up
We're the blood of God's veins, we gotta maintain get past the blame.
And then this fame came, for a reason and a season.
Then I'll stay up, not lay low,
And raise yours and up the offering
And then the blessings will flow

We go make the world go lie down.
Make the world go lie down.
We go make the world go lie down.
Make the world go lie down.

Dripping in the rain, face down, trip and feel the pain
Get up, you conduct your own train, rippin it up, stepping it up, raising it up
We're the blood of God's veins, we gotta maintain past that of blame
Gathers fame, came for a reason and a seasons "for me to stay up and not lay low"

#35: Do or Die - Thebandwithnoname

#35

Do or Die
Thebandwithnoname

Genre: Hip-hop (out of place, anyone?)



Disclaimer:
Before I put the lyrics, I want to add that I'm transcribing these myself. I don't expect them to be correct, but I honestly can't find them anywhere on the Internet. If anyone can, I'd appreciate a comment with a link.
Also, I'm posting this song because I love the band (very surprisingly) and this song kind of.. speaks to me. Anyways, lyrics.
Again, a very rough transcription. It IS hip-hop, after all.

I bring it black and white
So you know what's right
'Till you're seeing the night,
Making the demons want to run from the thief in the night

I bring it white and black,
'till you're bringing it back
As a matter of fact, you gotta step right back
because you're under attack

Pre-Chorus:
{ Think hard before you make a decision
Discard, living your life in a prison
Don't stop, always be the one ready to listen
We can't stop, because we're living life with a vision

Thnk hard, don't create a division
Discard, living a trained decision [unsure]
Don't stop, always be the point of the collision [unsure]
We can't stop, because we're living life on a mission }

Chorus:
Do or die, you can't release all your foolish pride
He will be coming soon, you don't even care
Hear my cry, facing the fear of my paradise
I'll search Heaven for you, byut you're not there

It's a test of time
From ridicule to sublime
Life without crime,
Life with no meaning and feeling divine [unsure]

Not talking about the birds and the bees
Not talking about a pocket full of needs
Not here to sell a million CD's,
but I know what you need, so let go and be free

Pre-Chorus
Chorus

Bless your heart, [unsure]
Let go, say "I'm sorry"
Ease your mind,
Resign to the truth

The Tide Began To Rise
Demon Hunter

Genre: Soft Rock



I don't belong here
I never saw this on the path I walk
The blood-stained walls, the lines of chalk on the floor
Its getting so hard
I never saw the backlash, when the tide began to rise
I can't remember
The way it was when everything felt right
My mouth held shut and eyes sealed tight with control

Pre-Chorus:
So I remember on the inside

Chorus:
I found a dark, infernal place, I don't wanna face anymore
Somehow I won't stop feeding the pain
My heart's just the same as before

So now I'm stuck here
Between the guilty and the insincere
The words I've spoke have left me here all alone
I should have known this
I never saw the backlash, when the tide began to rise
I wish it all gone
I could've burned it when I had that choice
And now I'd die to kill this noise in my head

Pre-Chorus:
Chorus:

If this is all the love my spirit can give
Just take it back tonight
There is not a reason more to live

#33: The Soldier's Song - Demon Hunter

The Soldier's Song
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metal



Through the clouds of fallen ash,
a lonely mother's cry
Among the fields of broken glass
the loyal few will rise
Faith now regained
Finding strenght within the void,
of raging fire ignites
A spark of ever-burning power
and conviction to fight
Pride be your name
They will spit upon the honor that
you guard with your life
And run to hide in selfish fear
when threat of death is in sight
Lay down your shame

(Pre-chorus:)
Armed with resistance and blind to the cost
They say your purpose is mindless and lost
But we don't adhere to the slader they spill
We mourn with your losses and stand by your will

(Chorus:)
These tears we spill
They haunt us still
The cries of the weak lie quiet in sleep
Beneath our feet

We are the sons of holy wrath,
a shining light in the dark
The ones who walk amongst despair,
no sign of fear in our hearts
Stand in death's way
Shut out the voice of mindlessness,
open your eyes to the truth
Believe the words that stand the test
and not the slurs of the youth
You're not what they say

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)

Turn over the tables and watch them run
You'll be the weapon they can't outgun

(Chorus)

The Last Night [Audio]
Skillet

Genre: Inspirational Rock



You come to me with your scars on your wrist
You tell me this will be the last night feeling like this
I just came to say goodbye
I didn't want you to see me cry, I'm fine
But I know it's a lie

This is the last night you'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be
The last night you'll spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I'm everything you need me to be

Your parents say everything is your fault
But they don't know you like I know you
They don't know you at all
I'm so sick of when they say
It's just a phase, you'll be o.k. you're fine
But I know it's a lie

This is the last night you'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everwhere you want me to be
The last night you'll spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I'm everything you need me to be
The last night away from me

The night is so long when everything's wrong
If you give me your hand
I will help you hold on
Tonight, tonight

This is the last night you'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everwhere you want me to be
The last night you'll spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I'm everything you need me to be

I won't let you say goodbye
And I'll be your reason why
The last night away from me
Away from me

Genre: Rock



I used to have a home.
A place I started from. A place to call
my own bright lights and late nights. The
devil took me on a midnight ride.
Left me out in the desert on my own.
Now I feel alone
I need a hand to help me find my way back home.
I'm a drifter out on a dead end road
trying to find my way back home
to get to you
Oh to get to you
Lord I've been gone for far too long,
headed to places I don't belong
and I've got to get back
home to you. Sometimes I think about the past
and the road that I was on, the one that lead me home
I'll walk on another day
I may wander but I'll never stray, cause I found out the hard way
sin don't pay.
Now I feel alone, I need a hand to help me
find my way back home
I'm a drifter out on a dead end road
trying to find my way back home
to get to you
Oh to get to you
Lord I've been gone for far too long
headed to places I don't belong
and I've got to get back home to you
and when I feel the night is closing in
and I can barely breathe the air
I just remember that I've got a friend
who really cares
Oh who really cares
I'm a drifter out on a dead end road
trying to find my way back home
to get to you
Oh to get to you
Lord I've been gone for far too long
headed to places I don't belong
and I've got to get back home to you

Velocity: Medium [03:36]
Genre: Rock



Look at you now, just standing there like you think you’re something.
The lights are up and the crowd is looking your way.
Waiting for what you have to say.
Go ahead boy give them a little taste of hypocrisy, maybe a hint of blasphemy.
Whatever you’re preaching it isn’t me.

You wanna walk with me, do ya?
You wanna walk with me.

If you love me then just love me, don’t you give me pretty words.
Lay your life down at the altar.
Let me see how serious you are.

These people don’t look to me no more they’ve got their idols in various forms.
With lust in their eyes they crave for more.
Take their place with the corporate carnivores.
Oh, keep your focus for the day will come when everyone will give account for what they’ve done; make me proud.
Make me proud my son.

Look at this broken world; look at my children.
Get ready go; sing to me the right song.

Look up say your prayers on the steps of the capitol.
Look up say your prayers, on your knees.
Look up say your prayers.
Look up say your prayers.

You wanted it to be like you always thought it would
but all you seem to accomplish is the opposite.

Genre: Rock



Please don't be so naive!
You know you're not fooling anyone!
You're not as tough as you think.

The dirty second hands, the dirty second hands.
Can't get nothing for free.
It becomes so predictable.
You start fighting to breathe.
The dirty second hands, the dirty second hands.

Here's the face of everything that breaks you down:
But now you face the face of everything that breaks you down!
With an army of "me", we invent our own enemies.
It's man versus machine and the dirty second hands,
the dirty second hands.

In the land of the free and the home of the remedy,
the old clock is a thief with dirty second hands,
with dirty second hands.
Here's the face of everything that breaks you down:
Now you face the face of everything that breaks you down!

Are you really as tough as you think?
You blink and you're over the brink,
you bleed but the blood runs pink with dirty second hands,
dirty second hands.

You're not quite as tough as you thought.
You bought the American wrath,
the very scene that you thought you'd
shot with dirty second hands, dirty second hands.

You might be right.
The fight might be right inside you.
The blind leading the light to you so not
leaving you blind you with dirty second hands.

Here's the face of everything that breaks you down
(you, blind you with dirty second hands):
But now you face the face of everything that breaks you down
(you, blind you with dirty second hands)!
You're the face, the face of everything that breaks you down...

Genre: Rock



Wait, I might hesitate
Am I a minute too late?
Please Lord, I need to know
This pressure's got me lettin' go
If I'm wrong, will I still carry on
And end up where I belong?

BRIDGE
I've never felt this way before
I've never come so close
I've never worn so thin
I'm stepping out
Instead of closing in
Left myself behind
When I made up my mind
No turnin' back this time
This is my new design

CHORUS
Sometimes I feel so alone
It feels like I'm standing out here on my own
I've never felt so far from home
It's comin' on, it hits me
When I step outside my zone
Cause sometimes, I feel so alone
It feels like I'm standing out here on my own
I've never felt so far from home
It's comin' on, it hits me
When I step outside my zone

I see what you're doin' to me
Could have been you so easily
You look the other way
Even though we were close the other day
And I'm still tryin' to get up this hill
I need you just like a pill

BRIDGE

CHORUS

Do you get the feelin'
Everything will be alright?
I'm movin'
So pleased to meet you
But I am movin' on
Tried to pass it to another
But it's comin' on
I can't wait to find out
Break me, can't seem to climb out
Of this hole, I'm stuck again
If I'm not out in a minute I'm jumpin' in
Let's start again
I'm sick of this
Let's just get it out
Are ya feelin' it?
Move back
Ya wanna feel how real it is
Let's just get it out
Are ya feelin' it?
Move back
Ya wanna feel how real it is

I will stand and fight to justify you
You have bled and died to justify me

Force me down into hate
Your freedom will stop when I can't breath
I'm taking the path that I don't need
I'm taking the place so it won't bleed
Broken out and turned away
Burned to the ground and change the face
Bled to death and turned to gray
Resurrect again to say
I made my promise, and now I've fallen
Through broken pieces I set you

I will stand and fight to justify you
You have bled and died to justify me

Let me see it all die in front of myself so I can't lie
A hollow design for the new side
Exterior death for the old side
This is the end of the last time
Bury the old and say the name
break the mold and new remain
Resurrect again to say

I made my promise, and now I've fallen
through broken pieces I see you
I will stand and fight to justify you
You have bled and died to justify me
A lifeless body, a broken soul
I fall to zero, I've lost control

I've lost control, I will stand and fight to justify you
You have bled and died to justify me

Our Faces Fall Apart
Demon Hunter

Velocity: Slow--Fast [04:54]
Genre: Metal





Where is the inception of digression in a human life?
When is the answer just a bright light?
Who am I in shamelessly defining all the wrong and right?
What is the difference if we all die?
I am not the first, the last, the absolute
You will find no clarity in me
I am the deceased, the least, the solitude
Failing every face I try to be.

I'm not your progress, the pay of your pains
I'm stabbing the questions for answers I can't face
I'm losing the battle and finding no life to retrace.

I built this anguish with my own hands
I felt the burn inside with my heart.
I built this anguish with my own hands
I watched our faces fall apart.

CHORUS:
I felt the tears of all your angels, so cold.
I saw the fall of all your children, I'm so cold.

We are just a fraction of the poison living in this place
How can we answer with a straight face?
Who are you in gauging every standard you
Would have us chase?
Are we alone to run the last race?
We are all the weak, the meek, the innocent
Kissing every fault that we disgrace
We are of the worst, the cursed, the desolate
Leaving every hope that we embrace.

(CHORUS)

You turn your eyes to me in hope of my decline
Pointing your blame as I faltered on that line
We saw your slander when you pulled it off the shelf
If you want justice you'll point it at yourself
Face your fears. Trace your tears.
Kill the blind assumption that you know how I react inside
I am not so hollow, you can't see what grows inside my mind
Straight-faced, straight-faced.

I wonder how clear it must look from there to here
No obstruction, this selfish corruption
All in this atmosphere

No fear, less tears, only time to catch my breath
I fail to inhale
Your love constricts my chest

Confusion blinded me, mental and physically
And it’s because of you that now I can see
So now can I run? I follow the Son and ride on to Zion
And dance this last song of freedom

But only time will tell, if it’s truly for real
Can’t change your mind, all I know this is what I feel
Whether I’m wrong or right, please keep my life in sight
And never take you eyes off me

(Chorus:)
As I look up to the sky today
Well I can see you looking down on me
It brings a smile to my face again
Satellite

It’s truly one of a kind, like star shine, beyond night time, are you there
My eyes stare to find, just what’s behind this blind notion of mine, is it genuine
Cause sometimes, it plays tricks with my mind, some call it asinine

But it’s like love or hate, now is that real or fake?
Cause it’s a real thin line, but that’s your choice to make
The question at hand, help me understand, is this your plan?
I think I can, can I think, then I think I can

Because I won’t break (nah), and I won’t shake (nah)
With lifted hands to this Man (Jah), I’ll stand in faith
I’ll make it through, my trust in you
Close my eyes, make a wish, kiss the sky

Hey there…I see you

Ever since the day that I was made I’ve been deciding the end
And I was made of wood and stone that won’t diminish or bend
So when the heavy hand of death is here to take me away
I’ll be the solid grip of time, forever holding my stay
Nobody ever made a force that took a beating like me
I call the earth and every scum to come and try to fight me
Cus when I made the choice to live beyond the dirt that we tread
I felt the curse of mortal limit fall before it was said

Pre-chorus:
When this season ends…

Chorus:
One final heart-break
And blinding lights will guide our way
Free us our blind state
They will call us by our name
(repeat)
Undying

Tearing through these days I find the tolerance to strive and push on
I know what lies beyond this life for me is already won
No one can take away the blood that covers over my fall
Without the blood of perfect life I know I’m nothing at all
So now I reign forever hallowed in eternity’s hand
No man can shake me from the everlasting ground that I stand

(Pre-chorus)

We are the ones who will still remain when all is laid to waste
We are the ones who, when angels cry, will see them face to face
We are the ones

If you could have her
Where would you be tonight?

Like rushing water
Every pore is filled with hope

Oh, Icarus, tempting fate again
Altitude sickness setting in

Oh, Icarus, tempting fate again
Altitude sickness setting in
Tradewinds bury fire from broken wings
Into arms below the ocean

Put you back in your place

Eyes full, eyes full, eyes full of stars

Paranoia translates the new tone
It chills you to the bone

Oh, Icarus, tempting fate again

Burning up, as we ascend
Oh, Icarus, tempting fate again

Yes, I did have to modify the lyrics from how I found them.. despite being solely on seventh Seal's own page, it was in some sort of single-paragraph no-punctuation format.. and a word was wrong.
