#3: Inevitable - Anberlin

#3

Inevitable
Anberlin

Genre: Light Rock
Velocity: Slow [03:47]



Do you remember when we were just kids
And cardboard boxes took us miles from what we would miss
Schoolyard conversations taken to heart
And laughter took the place of everything we knew we were not

I wanna break every clock
The hands of time could never move again
We could stay in this moment (stay in this moment)
For the rest of our lives
Is it over now hey, is it over now

I wanna be your last, first kiss
That you'll ever have
I wanna be your last, first kiss

Amazing how life turns out the way that it does
We end up hurting the worst, the only ones we really love

I wanna break every clock
The hands of time could never move again
We could stay in this moment (stay in this moment)
For the rest of our lives
Is it over now hey, is it over now

I wanna be your last, first kiss
That you'll ever have
I wanna be your last, first kiss

Is it over now hey, is it over now
Is it over how hey, it's not over now

I wanna be your last, first kiss
That you'll ever have (that you'll ever have)
I wanna be your last, first love (that you'll ever have)
Till you're lying here beside me with arms and eyes open wide
I wanna be your last, first kiss for all time

Comment: Yeah, I know it's kind of mushy. But, hey, it's a pretty decent song. Nothing like past entries, though.

#2: The Gauntlet - Demon Hunter

#2

The Gauntlet
Demon Hunter
Album: Demon Hunter

Genre: Rock
Velocity: Slow [06:56]



I hold you in like a deep breath.
Feel you like the last beautiful touch before a final rest.
I know i'll see you forever.
I want it painted black and red.
It's so beautiful to me, it's everything i see.
It's so beautiful to me, but it's nothing that i need.
And i can't taste anything less.
Every time i'm forced down.
To be with yourself, take all the blood you want.
But not from here.
It's so beautiful to me, it is everything i see.
It's so beautiful to me, but it's nothing that i need.
Not a hand, not a finger.
This is my home.
I'm dying here.
I hide in the corner.
That look on your face, I'm accustomed to it.

#1: Beauty Through The Eyes Of A Predator - Demon Hunter

#1

Beauty Through The Eyes Of A Predator
Demon Hunter
Album: Summer of Darkness

Genre: Metalcore
Velocity: Medium-Fast [05:34]



I'm not the only one who can't see why it crossed your mind
I see your life and death reduce into a product line
It's not enough to see you speaking through the blindest of eyes
The same dead, cold breath is reducing mine
I can't see why
You're not a saint, you're a thief
You can't deny
It's all a ploy underneath.

PRE-CHORUS:
All I've seen (you better learn to keep your face under the dark)
All I need (wake up and feel the blood escape your heart)
Your disease (for every word that you devalue and mistake)
I can't breathe (for every soul you nauseate with what you say)

CHORUS:
You've brought this verdict on yourself (before we ever had a chance)
I hope you cry for the one's you've lost.
You built this burden when you fell (you know we never took a glance)
I hope it's worth all the blood it cost.

It's been a long way back from the dissipated path
Only half way through, say goodbye and take a breath
And when the end shines new with the burn of nothing left
I'll give you one last chance to say you're done and give it back.
I won't agree.
Your remedy is a joke.
I can't believe.
That you can breathe and not choke.

(PRE-CHORUS)
(CHORUS)

Peddle your faith to the blind.
And cheapen the love that you feel so painful.
Pushing the guilt through yourself.
And suffer the mold of a prime example.

(CHORUS)x2

I feel my lungs beginning to burn.
With every foolish word that you spit, another nail you'll get. [repeat until end of song]

What is The Periodical Song?

Simple. The Periodical Song is a randomly-updated sort of "daily-song" sort of thing. The only difference is that it's periodically updated; somewhat randomly, if you will. The Periodical Song will display my song choice for a given day. It is not meant to reflect 'recommended' songs for anyone.. just my current 'this song is awesome' selection.

I will attempt to make sure that there is at least one update every week; I'll also try to limit myself to one song per day.
