#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
