#23: Satellite - P.O.D.

#23

Satellite [Video]
P.O.D.

Velocity: Medium [03:30]
Genre: Rock



I wonder how clear it must look from there to here
No obstruction, this selfish corruption
All in this atmosphere

No fear, less tears, only time to catch my breath
I fail to inhale
Your love constricts my chest

Confusion blinded me, mental and physically
And it’s because of you that now I can see
So now can I run? I follow the Son and ride on to Zion
And dance this last song of freedom

But only time will tell, if it’s truly for real
Can’t change your mind, all I know this is what I feel
Whether I’m wrong or right, please keep my life in sight
And never take you eyes off me

(Chorus:)
As I look up to the sky today
Well I can see you looking down on me
It brings a smile to my face again
Satellite

It’s truly one of a kind, like star shine, beyond night time, are you there
My eyes stare to find, just what’s behind this blind notion of mine, is it genuine
Cause sometimes, it plays tricks with my mind, some call it asinine

But it’s like love or hate, now is that real or fake?
Cause it’s a real thin line, but that’s your choice to make
The question at hand, help me understand, is this your plan?
I think I can, can I think, then I think I can

Because I won’t break (nah), and I won’t shake (nah)
With lifted hands to this Man (Jah), I’ll stand in faith
I’ll make it through, my trust in you
Close my eyes, make a wish, kiss the sky

Hey there…I see you

(Chorus)

Cycle Down
Skillet

Velocity: Upbeat [03:58]
Genre: Rock/Metal



Crashing, covered with debris
Dwelling in my own pity
Cry like I have not
Dig like I had not
I start to claw
Gotta get outta here
I've got to, gotta get out

I am, I am, I am on a higher ground
You are, You are my cure from the cycle down (2x)

Sinking in a sea of self
Deception never sold so well
Regret like I have not
Pain like I don't want
I start to claw
Gotta get outta here
I've got to, gotta get out

I am, I am, I am on a higher ground
You are, You are my cure from the cycle down (2x)

Down (3x)

I'm so cold and I wonder
How'd I make it this long without You
Pull me out, out from under
On the cycle back to You

I am, I am, I am on a higher ground
You are, You are my cure from the cycle down (2x)

Down (3x)

#22: Undying - Demon Hunter

Undying [Video]
Demon Hunter

Velocity: Medium to Fast [04:18]
Genre: Metal




Ever since the day that I was made I’ve been deciding the end
And I was made of wood and stone that won’t diminish or bend
So when the heavy hand of death is here to take me away
I’ll be the solid grip of time, forever holding my stay
Nobody ever made a force that took a beating like me
I call the earth and every scum to come and try to fight me
Cus when I made the choice to live beyond the dirt that we tread
I felt the curse of mortal limit fall before it was said

Pre-chorus:
When this season ends…

Chorus:
One final heart-break
And blinding lights will guide our way
Free us our blind state
They will call us by our name
(repeat)
Undying

Tearing through these days I find the tolerance to strive and push on
I know what lies beyond this life for me is already won
No one can take away the blood that covers over my fall
Without the blood of perfect life I know I’m nothing at all
So now I reign forever hallowed in eternity’s hand
No man can shake me from the everlasting ground that I stand

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)

We are the ones who will still remain when all is laid to waste
We are the ones who, when angels cry, will see them face to face
We are the ones
(Pre-Chorus)
I'm Sorry
(Chorus)

Undying

#21: Icarus - Hopesfall

#21

Icarus [Video]
Hopesfall

Velocity: Medium [04:14]
Genre: Rock



I'll put you back in your place
We'll ride a thousand miles
To find out we are empty
And if I wrote out our sins
It would read a thousand lies
And show us we are empty

Youth spent and still so young
If you could have her
Where would you be tonight?
...Tonight?

Standing at attention
Dreams cascadeing around you
Like rushing water
Every pore is filled with hope

Oh, Icarus, tempting fate again
Altitude sickness setting in
(Burning up)

Oh, Icarus, tempting fate again
Altitude sickness setting in
Tradewinds bury fire from broken wings
Into arms below the ocean

Put you back in your place
We'll ride a thousand miles
to find out we are empty
and If I wrote out our sins
It would read a thousand lies
to show us we are empty

Losing Atmosphere
Eyes full, eyes full, eyes full of stars

Standing at attention
Dreams cascadeing around you
Like rushing water
Every pore is filled with hope

Oh, Icarus, tempting fate again
Altitude sickness setting in

Oh, Icarus, Tempting fate again
Altitude sickness setting in

Tradewinds bury fire from broken wings
Into arms below the ocean

It chills you to the bone
Paranoia translates the new tone
It chills you to the bone

Oh, Icarus, tempting fate again
Altitude sickness setting in
Tradewinds bury fire from broken wings
Into arms below the ocean
Oh, Icarus, tempting fate again
Altitude sickness setting in
Burning up, as we ascend
Oh, Icarus, tempting fate again
Into arms below the ocean
Burning up

revelation
seventh Seal

Genre: Metal
Velocity: Medium [04:41]



Clouds of doubt help skew perception
That which can be seen shines though
The earthly mind fills the abyss while the soul seeks unseen truth

PRE-CHORUS:
You're blind by apathy
You're blind to everything
CHORUS:
Never choose to be indifferent to all of these beliefs
Never choose to be the only one who cares not of the truth
Never choose to be apathetic for the search for the way
Never choose to be an enemy of reality

Clouds of doubt help skew perception
That which can be seen shines though
The earthly mind fills the abyss while the soul seeks unseen truth

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUSx2
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS



Yes, I did have to modify the lyrics from how I found them.. despite being solely on seventh Seal's own page, it was in some sort of single-paragraph no-punctuation format.. and a word was wrong.

#18: Replace Me - Family Force 5

#18

Replace Me [Listen]
Family Force 5

Genre: Rock
Velocity: Upbeat [03:35]



My Batteries died sometime ago
Gotta heart shaped box where they must go
Corrosion's building everyday
My flesh is leading me astray that's why I started to decay and I will slowly rot away but I can't feel
that anyway

This heart it wants to beat
These Lungs they want to breathe
These eyes they wants to see
Gotta Mouth that wants to sing

Desperation
Needing U
Every last breath
I scream for you
Shatter me into a million pieces...Make me new

Crush me, tear me, break me, mold me
Make me what U want me to be
I am ur's for U to use
Oh, Take and Replace me with U

Needing more than just a jump start to get me through
My disconnection is now the issue.....

I miss my 1st love bad and its driving me mad
Just Like a mixed up crazy person out of his head
Its been a long long time I've been on the decline
I do an a-bout face so I can be replaced. 180!!!

This heart it wants to beat
These Lungs they want to breathe
These eyes they wants to see
Gotta Mouth that wants to sing

Desperation
Needing U
Every last breath
I scream for you
Shatter me into a million pieces...Make me new

Crush me, tear me, break me, mold me
Make me what U want me to be

#17: I Play Dead - Demon Hunter

I Play Dead
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metal
Velocity: Slow-Fast [05:22]




Play dead again. It just might stop before the end.
If I pretend you may not see the pain I'm in.
So close to me, can't tell what I'm supposed to be.
Don't stop to breathe, can't bear to think what you might see.
This tourniquet, these blessed hands around my head
So I can keep from...

Bleeding.
I've got to find a way to stop before it starts.
Finding its way through my veins right to my heart.
I never thought it something everyone could see.
And it kills within me.

CHORUS:
I won't, I won't leave without a trace.
I won't be erased.

It's in my head, I can't forget what you once said.
The words I read, the fractured soul that I can't mend.
Right here with me, killing the void I used to be.
Remembering through fading sparks of memory.
Two broken hands lift seven wounds and fight to stand
To keep the lungs from..

Caving.
I've got to find a way to stop before it starts.
Finding its way through my veins right to my heart.
I never thought it something everyone could see.
And it kills within me.

(CHORUS)

Turning. It's moving. Escaping right through me.
I care not. I bleed not. For you I believe not.
I play dead.
