#128: Forever - As I Lay Dying

As I Lay Dying

Genre: Metalcore

Note: I wanted to post up their "re-recorded" version of Forever, but sadly, it isn't on Last.fm. Thus, I believe that the one linked to is the old version.



Forever your eyes will hold the memory
I saw your heart as it overtook me
We tried so hard to understand and reason
But in the one moment I gave my heart away
The perfect breath where my mind lay beside me
And all I knew is what had overtaken me
With no explanation
I am comforted by my inability to understand
When I wake from this dream will you still be here?
Will your smile still open my heart
And leave me trasparent?

#127: St. Anne's Lullaby - Becoming the Archetype

Becoming the Archetype

Genre: Instrumental

Note: To be honest, I was going to post Ransom, but then I got lazy.. I might post it up over the weekend. Either way, this is a great song, and I find that it sometimes helps me sleep when I have trouble.

#126: Deep Heaven - Becoming the Archetype

Becoming the Archetype

Genre: Progressive Metal



Awakened from the shadows
Leaving behind that cold and silent planet
Moving through infinity
Into the embrace of heaven

Eternity has overtaken me
Eternity is inside of me

My eyes have been illuminated
To reality; the fallen state of earth

Revelation penetrates the silence
Cuts to the center of my spirit
Destroys my previous conception of existence

Until this moment all that I have known
Is death's attempt at imitating life
(And for the first time I am truly alive)

Eternity has overtaken me
Eternity is inside of me

#125: HTML Rulez d00d - The Devil Wears Prada

HTML Rulez d00d
The Devil Wears Prada

Genre: Metalcore

Note: I am genuinely sorry that I can't provide a link to listen to this song on Last.fm. All I can say is, go and get the album on iTunes if you like metalcore. The band is great.



And yet I've been cleansed with the water
A purity no mind can grasp
A purity so cool upon my fingertips
The vision that I've seen: this is the action that spawns from the end
For the longest time, I've been watching the world breathe against (spiderwebs)
What lies here are mountains composed of tombstones
Examine these beautiful faces, keep singing now,
Keep singing.
Will we push bedlam noise to the state of blissfulness?
Display her beauty to the people
A purity no mind can grasp
