#145: Hey There Chthulhu - Eben Brooks

Hey There Chthulhu

Eben Brooks

Genre: Acoustic/Parody

Note: I figured I'd post a silly song for April 1st. This one was the first to come to mind. And, besides, who can get tired of Hey There Delilah parodies?

Hey there Chthulhu down there in your sunken city
You're a billion light-years distant and the stars look very pretty
From R'lyeh
So close and yet so far away. Ia Iay.

Chthulhu fuh-TAH-gun, or is that Chthulhu fuh-TINE?
I can never quite remember 'cause I'm not in my right minds
Since I met you
No one corrupts the way you do. You know it's true

(Chorus)
Oh, it's what you'll do to me
Oh, and all humanity
Oh, you'll rise up from the sea
Oh, kill everyone slowly
Except the one's like me

Hey there Chthulhu, I've been studying your gospel
The Necronomicon, it gives me nightmares something awful
Where I see
The death of all reality. It fills me with glee

So when the stars are right, you'll come and do your worst
But that's okay because I know you'll eat the cultists like me first
When you get here
I know that day is drawing near. I have no fear

(Chorus)

A billion light-years seems so far
Below the sea, beyond the stars
Of these humans' putrid souls you'll drink your fill
The fools will all make fun of me
But I'll just laugh maniacally
'Cause no one's ever suffered like they will
Chthulhu, I can promise you
That by the time this cult gets through
The world will never ever be the same!
Praise your dark name!

Phn'glui mglw'nafh Chthulhu R'lyeh wagn'nagl fhtagn
Boy, that's really quite a mouthful, can't quite cram it in my noggin
Not today
I try to say it anyway
I feel my soul begin to fray
Still I await that frabjous day
Chthulhu calay!

(Chorus)
Oh, kill everyone but me
Everyone but me

#144: Feareaper - Immortal Souls

Feareaper

Immortal Souls

Genre: Winter Metal

From light into dark I fall into fear into the unknown, the interlayer.
I set candle to burn, some light to my room in need of cleansing flame before I implode.
Oh - fear is all I reap.
Oh - is fear all I seek?
Gleam of subtle light in layers of my soul deep within the core, deeper than I know.
Lonely candle burns cast light to my room I stare it for a while before I implode.
Oh - fear is all I reap.
Oh - is fear all I seek?

Fear - the burden I hold in this slough of despond; will I descend?
Layer of man - layer of Judas - layer of Jesus.
Oh - fear is all I reap.
Oh - is fear all I seek?
Fear - the burden I hold in this slough of despond; will I ascend?

#143: Wintereich - Immortal Souls

Wintereich

Immortal Souls

Genre: Winter Metal

(Melodic Death Metal)

I stand at the end of time, on the shores of Wintereich.
Silence lay on the landscape frozen with snow.
Before me the mighty gates of pure glasslike ice.
I'm alone in heavy snow in white loneliness.
In distance thunder's raging and it's coming near.
I listen to the roar and hear a voice that's calling me.
"Come my child don't fear to enter into my domain."

White Frozen kingdom of ice -

into blinding cold of light -

I feel the frost of purity -

Cold energy enters me -

Wintereich.

I walk into eye of the storm, into heart of Wintereich.
I go through the gates and up the snowbound icy stairs.
Fierce wind blows but I keep walking into hall of ice.

"Welcome home my child I have been expecting you".

White Frozen kingdom of ice -

into blinding cold of light -

I feel the frost of purity -

Cold energy enters me -

Wintereich.

White Frozen kingdom of ice -

into blinding cold of light -

I feel the frost of purity -

Cold energy enters me -

Allegory of my dream -

cold as ice pure as light -

I submit myself to thee -

into eye of the storm -

Wintereich.

#142: City of Corpses - Hope For The Dying

City of Corpses

Hope For The Dying

Genre: Melodic Death Metal

You are the walking dead

Will you be turned to ashes

For all your lies

Dear Adelaide,

When will you rest

Your time has come, truly

From the absence of clean hands

Innocence lost---dragged from the river torrents

Are the bodies of all of you.

Your final breath approaches, as death is closing in

When will she turn from her lies

Millions of people, will you fate reign down from the skies

On the City of Corpses

Innocence lost---dragged from the river torrents

Are the bodies of all of your youth

Dear Adelaide,

When will you rest

Your time has come, it's through

The absence of clean hands

Destructions stands before her

The city laid to waste

Their sins have turned to ashes

She sealed her own fate

#141: In Loving Memory - Hope For The Dying

In Loving Memory

Hope For The Dying

Genre: Melodic Death Metal

Note: This band is incredible. Go buy their album. If you like Becoming the Archetype, Hope For The Dying is definitely for you. They have a progressive flavor, with very rich guitars and drums. Incredible. I discovered them by accident when going to a concert, they just happened to be warming up for another band.

I never conceived of this pain

And I knew your time was short, but I never expected

That those words you said would stay with me forever

And those words I said would be the last you heard

But it all is over now, and we'll never have this chance again

I want you to know I'm sorry

(You should have listened to me, you should have listened to me)

All the times I told you how, I wanted to know what you believed

I wish I'd have known you're sorry

I never accepted the fact that I may never see you again

And those words you said cause pain I can't regress

And those words I said I never will forget

And those days where we just wasted our breaths

And I'll never have the freedom of knowing

While I'm here, and I'm screaming these words

But it all is over now, and we'll never have this chance again

I want you to know I'm sorry

(You should have listened to me, you should have listened to me)

And the chance has passed us by, and we both may never meet again

I wish I'd have known, you're sorry

I left that way with nothing to say, nothing to say

But I should have told you... That I could have been the one to tell you of a Man

Who could have saved your soul and saved me from eternal guilt

And wondering, guessing, when will we meet again

Asking questions like how and why would He let you die without me even there

To say goodbye or apologize for things that should've been said instead of screamed

And the chance to not spend my life wondering

But no, no, no, no, that chance is gone...

#140: You And Me - The Ascendicate

You And Me

The Ascendicate

Genre: Metalcore

Note: I found a transcription on some random website for this one, too.. it was pretty rough around the edges, so I corrected what I could.

YOU!
It's so loud and it's crowded

But my eyes are fixed on you
and now I can't look away
And right now nothing else is real,
just keep your eyes on me,

it won't be long until

It's you and me, (it's you)
Just you and me. I wanna tell you everything,

I wanna tell you everything
'cause I am so in love with you,
I wanna fall in love with you.
There's no where else I'd rather be,
there's no one here but you and me.

We've come so far
the sun is fading,
now I am all alone with you
And this is where I'm gonna stay,
this is the only thing that's real
nothing will pull me away.
I won't let go until

It's you and me, (it's you)
Just you and me. I wanna tell you everything,

I wanna tell you everything
'cause I am so in love with you,
I wanna fall in love with you.
There's no where else I'd rather be,
there's no one here but you and me.

It's all you!

#139: Burden - The Ascendicate

Burden

The Ascendicate

Genre: Metalcore

Note: I found a very good transcription somewhere, I don't know where that site got it from, but I took it and corrected a couple parts. This is what I have:

People say that God is dead
But how can they think that
If I show them the devil

You will suffer greatly
But through you many will come to see
That the realm of the spirit is real

I feel this pain, I feel it burn in my heart
I know that this is a test
To make me stronger
You tell me this is my cross
That I bear for the weak
I'll give you all that I am, You're my blood
You're my strength
Now learn, and live through this
And let it burn

Don't let this burden flee from me
'till the lesson is complete
Because the pain is teaching me
Who I need to be

The clarity is getting stronger
My heart is teaching me
what my eyes can't see
You wrote your name on my heart
I am the sparrow
I bear this pain in your name
It makes me stronger
Now learn and live through this
And let it burn

Don't let this burden flee from me
'till the lesson is complete
Because the pain is teaching me
Who I need to be

About the man I wanna be
For all the ones that count on me
Because the pain is teaching me
Who I need to be

Why did the demons not leave me tonight
You can come with me in peace free of your bodily form or you can choose to continue this
The choice is yours.
I choose to stay
And let it burn

Don't let this burden flee from me
'till the lesson is complete
Because the pain is teaching me
Who I need to be

About the man I wanna be
For all the ones that count on me
Because the pain is teaching me
Who I need to be

#138: An Ocean Between Us - As I Lay Dying

An Ocean Between Us

As I Lay Dying

Genre: Metalcore

Go

How many years have we waited
For a ship that never set sail?
And how many days have we wasted
Chasing a love that was not our own?
I sat ashore and watched
As one hopeless wave crashed upon another
While my thoughts ran to the highest hills
My heart never reached the sea
With only delusions of an endless journey
I am left with an ocean between you and me

Is this your salvation?
Is this all you can give?
I will not stand in reflection
Of someone else's dream

The gate to my heart has been weld shut
With the splendor of my aspirations closed in
How many years have we waited
For a ship that never set sail?
And how many days have we wasted
Chasing a love that was not our own?

Is this your salvation?
Is this all you can give?
I will not stand in reflection
Of someone else's dream
