#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

#69: Grand Finale - Demon Hunter

Grand Finale
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metal



You'll find me face down, hands bound,
ready for the blade to make me two
If judgment falls to meet this ground,
that fate will run me through
No day of wrath will see me break
for that faithless breath of shame
When the heretics come to make that list,
be true to speak my name

Leave all you see
The curse of man is dead
The hourglass turned on its head
And every care will fade away
To wake a new day

Take every throe within us all
The very breath inside our soul
We bleed the life into your hold
The very death of our control

No man can bring a fatal sting
And I laugh at the gallows thrall
Just line it tight around my neck
so my words will break that fall

Leave all you see
The curse of man is dead
The hourglass turned on its head
And every care will fade away
To wake a new day

That final day will fall
And those who curse the sky will face the earth
The many turn to one
The God of Gods' own righteous son
Begging for that second birth

#68: The Wrath of God - Demon Hunter

The Wrath of God
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metalcore



Tear at the voice inside
Dig a deeper tomb
and all the self can finally resonate
Tread on the path of pride
You can be the god
and let the faith become your enemy

Breathe redemption into wasted life
Closer, closer
Find the wrath of God inside your eyes
Closer, closer

Breath dee / And as the fear before you falls
I know the pain is so unsettling
Breath deep / So now you've built a thousand walls
But in the end it's all unraveling

Stand with a worthless sign
Wave it in the path
of every face you cannot tolerate

Breathe redemption into wasted life
Closer, closer
Find the wrath of God inside your eyes
Closer, closer

This is the last day that you will regret
Wake from your sleep and never forget
This is the last day that you will regret
Closer, closer

Closer, closer, closer, closer

#67: Fading Away - Demon Hunter

Fading Away
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metalcore



It's in this wake that I find myself
losing the will to resume this Hell
When every breath is a dying wish,
it's harder to follow the point of this

This broken place that I call my home
has deepened the sorrow that I have sown
And I can't erase what is in my heart
I want it to finish before it starts

My own solution insufficient again
No false illusion, this devouring threat
I break the veseel, giving air to its red
And open my fate to the darkened sky

I've been fading away
I've been waiting on the call to reach my veins
Ready or not
No attention to waste
Every sorrow of the soul will read my name
When I cease to exist

So now I've come to the final sleep
I pray that forgiveness is mine to keep
I know it's hard to forget this man
Driving the failure into your hands

My own solution insufficient again
No fake illusion, this devouring threat
I break the vessel, giving air to its red
And open my fate to the darkened sky

#66: Fire To My Soul - Demon Hunter

Fire To My Soul
Demon Hunter
Genre: Metalcore

Note: The following video is fan-made.




We flow with bitter words that file sharp our teeth
And we bite off our own tongues
We trample any trace of Your divinity's hope
And we'll sacrifice our young
With our eyes sewn shut now the light can't shine
Oh, we'll never wake from dead
And when You beg for us to open up and let you in
We'll cut You out instead

You promised you'd give us Your word
We never believed it was true
And we pretend that we never heard
'Cause we still don't believe in You

I heard you calling, setting fire to my soul
Is this the voice we die for?
We die for life

We built a wall to keep You out
Ignoring every word
And we saw yYour face behind our thoughts
Apathetic to what we'd heard

You promised you'd give us Your word
We never believed it was true
And we pretend that we never heard
'Cause we still don't believe in You

I heard you calling, setting fire to my soul
Is this the voice we die for?
We die for life

Why does it falter? We built it all ourselves
Why does it hurt so bad, forsaking all this help?
Why are we choking on pills designed to heal?
We threw our hearts away 'cause we're too afraid to feel

I heard you calling, setting fire to my soul
Is this the voice we die for?
We die for life
