Haste the Day

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

#58: The Poisoning - Living Sacrifice
Posted by

Living Sacrifice
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

Haste the Day
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.

Living Sacrifice,
Seen Live
Symbiotic
Conceived in fire
Panic Strike
I cannot breathe
Piercing Me
Conscience deep
Consuming like
Embrace this heat
Like love
Complete in me to see what I could not see
This life inside
Symbiotic
Conceived in fire
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
Defeat
Consuming fire
Burning sin like wheat
This union by love destroys the pain
This union by love changes everything
This life inside
Symbiotic
Conceived in fire
Symbiotic

#55: Not I - Demon Hunter
Posted by

Demon Hunter,
Seen Live
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)

Genre: Nu Metal
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?

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

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.

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?!?

Our Happy Home

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
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.
