That one lyric

[Josh]

Rob Zombie, Scum of the Earth

Hey! I'm breathing!
Hey! I'm bleeding!
Hey! I'm screaming 'Scum of the Earth, come on!'

Very appropriate for the Vamp game right now.

[Gandalf]

"Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Nothing to lose
Like one we'll stand
We'll face the storm created by a man."

- Blind Guardian, And Then There Was Silence.

[Josh]

"Pure ambition burns in me.
It's a beast never to be tamed.
The only peace I can find
Is when I'm here with you.
You're the ones who keep me alive.
You're the ones for which I'll die.
Forever we will be
Standing tall side by side.
We're the children of the night."

Iced Earth, Children of the Night.

[Josh]

Fight, son of the damned!
Bring down the heavens!
Smash in the gates!
Burn 'em down!
You must accept the fate that you've chosen,
You will obey your destiny!

Iced Earth, The Dark Saga.

[Josh]

"We'll take their rigidity,
and live among them free,
all the while plotting events
that mold their history!
We'll build the perfect beast
with the knowledge that they seek!
If it takes ten thousand years,
we never will retreat!"

Iced Earth, not sure of the track name.

[ImpishAngel]

Mark Wills: Don't Laugh At Me

"Don't laugh at me,
don't call me names.
Don't get your pleasure, from my pain.
In God's eyes,
We're all the same, one day we'll all
have perfect wings,
Don't laugh at me...."

[Lindar]

It's a mystery like the deep blue sea
You can take it you can leave it but I still believe
So I won't give up and I won't give in
I know I'm gonna find him I just don't know when
A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is like trying to find Atlantis

Jamie O'Neal : trying to find atlantis


Well, It's been getting so hard
Livin' with the things you do to me, ah ha
My dreams are getting so strange
I'd like to tell you everything I see

OH, I see a man at the back
As a matter of fact his eyes are red as the sun
And the girl in the corner let no one ignore her
'Cause she thinks she's the passionate one

calibretto 13: ballroom blitz


I try to think about Shakespeare
Leap year
The Beatles or the Rolling Stones
I try to think about hair-do's
Tattoos
Sushi bars and saxophones
I try to think about the talk shows
New clothes
But I guess I should have known
I just can't concentrate
You're all I think about these days
You're all I think about these days

Patty Loveless : I try to think about Elvis

I think that it's time that I should just let you go
So I'll tell it to your face instead of tell it to you on the phone
You see I thought that you were special baby somethin' unique
But lately I've come to find
That you're not really interested in my heart or mind

Hoku : another dumb blonde

[Josh]

Well that blazer noise boy he's gunnin' that bitch,
loaded to blast a point.
He rides headfirst into a hurricane,
and disappears into a poem.
And there's nothing left but some blood where the body fell,
and there's nothing left that you could sell.
Just junk all across the horizon,
A real highwayman's farewell.

And I said "Hey kid, you think that's oil?
Man, that ain't oil, that's blood.
I wonder what he was thinkin' when he hit that storm...
Or was he just lost in the flood?"

Bruce Springsteen, Lost in the Flood

Well I've been lookin' for a job, but it's hard to find.
Down here it's just winners and losers and don't get caught on the wrong side of that line.
Well, I'm tired of coming out on this losin' end,
So baby last night I met this guy, gonna do a little favor for him.
Well I guess everything dies, baby, that's a fact.
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back.
So fix your hair up nice, make yourself up pretty,
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City.

Springsteen, Atlantic City

We were hopelessly outnumbered,
It was a lost cause all along.
But we swore that when we heard the bugles call,
We'd stand or fall together, right or wrong.

Warren Zevon, Renegade

[Josh]

Hmmm... here's one for the Wright material I'm pondering right now...

There's nothing ever wrong,
But nothing's ever right,
Such a cruel contradiction.
I know I crossed the line,
It's not easy to define.

Shinedown, Burning Bright

[The Morrigan]

Sometimes even music cannot substitute for tears - The Cool, Cool River by Paul Simon

Salvation in the blues - Angel of Harlem by U2

Woman you’re a mess gonna die in your sleep
All the blood on my hand and my les paul heat
I can’t leave you home cos you’re runnin’ around
My best friend told me you’re the best trick in town

You didn’t know that rock n’ roll burned
So you bought a candle and you loved and you learned
You got the rhythm, you got the speed
Mamma’s little baby likes it short and sweet
Once Bitten Twice Shy by Ian Hunter

Finding a replacement with a heart sedated, I'll forget you - The Owls Go by Architecture in Helsinki

Don't need the score, I'm going to the door
Gonna tell the Man I don't want no more
Pick up a fast car and burn my name in the road...
Bow River by Cold Chisel

When Johnny comes marching home again
(Hurrah! Tala!)
Nobody understands it can happen again
(Hurrah! Tala!)
The sun is shining and the kids are shouting loud
But you gotta know it's shining through a crack in the cloud
Shadows keep on falling
As Johnny comes marching home
The English Civil War by The Clash

The sickening taste
Homophobic jokes
Images of facist votes
Beam me up 'cause I can't breath
Spaceman by Babylon Zoo

Just one note
Could make me float
Could make me float away
One note from
The song she wrote
Could fuck me where I lay
Just one note
Could make me choke
One note that's
Not a lie
Just one note
Could cut my throat
One note could make me die
Aeroplane by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Rags to rags and rust to rust
How do you stand when you get crushed?
Rags to Rags by Eels


They know how to break all the girls like you
And the rob the souls of the girls like you
And they break the hearts of girls
Awful by Hole

The drugs don't work, they just make you worse - The Drugs Don't Work - The Verve

I try to talk to you, can't get past the weather
The friend I thought I knew
Found something somewhere better
So I'm hanging on your line
Thought that we could speak together
Don't know what it is with you
Somehow you seem gone forever...
Unsent Letter by Machine Gun Fellatio

[Josh]

And as the decibels of this disenchanting discourse continue to dampen the day
The coin flips again and again, and again, and again as our sanity walks away
All this discussion, though politically correct
is dead beyond destruction
though it leaves me quite erect

Live- White, Discussion

[The Morrigan]

You've ruined all my favourite songs,
'cause every one reminds me,
of another time when you and I belonged.
You've Ruined All My Favourite Songs - Machine Gun Fellatio

[Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman]

They buy your dreams so they can sell your soul.
Is it any wonder we've lost control?
Feelings come, feelings go.

I have learnt my lesson well.
The truth is out there I can tell.
Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies and goodbyes.
Live your life without regret.
Don't be someone who they forget.
When you're lost reach out for me.
And you'll see she's not far.
Northern Star.
Northern Star.

(to the family of my ex - fuck you and all your lies)

[The Morrigan]

I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
And smell you in my clothes...
Pepper by the Butthole Surfers



And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon

The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me ’till I’m sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There’s someone in my head but it’s not me.
Brain Damage by Pink Floyd

[Bratty]

"I woke up this morning
Now I understand
What it means to give your life
To just one man
Afraid of feeling nothing
No bees or butterflies
My head is filled with voices
And my house is filled with lies
And this is home'

~Sheryl Crow, Home

"And so our love's not a simple thing
Nor our truths unwavering
but like the moon's pull on the tide
our fingers touch, our hearts collide
Ill be your moonsbreath by your side"

~Loreena McKinnett, Samein Night

"By the shadows of the night I go
I moved away from the crowded room
That sea of shallow faces masked in warm regret
They don't know how to feel, they don't know what is lost"

~Sarah McLachlan, Lost

Hang off every word of this song, because it seems incredibly apropos

"It seems like every day’s the same
and I’m left to discover on my own
It seems like everything is gray
and there’s no color to behold
They say it’s over and I’m fine again, yeah
Try to stay sober feels like I’m dying here

And I am aware now of how
everything’s gonna be fine one day
Too late, I’m in hell I am prepared now,
seems everyone’s gonna be fine
One day too late, just as well

I feel the dream in me expire
and there’s no one left to blame it on
I hear you label me a liar
‘cause I can’t seem to get this through
You say it’s over, I can sigh again, yeah
Why try to stay sober when I’m dying here

And I am aware now of how
everything’s gonna be fine one day
Too late, I’m in hell
I am prepared now,
seems everyone’s gonna be fine
One day too late; just as well

And I’m not scared now.
I must assure you,
you’re never gonna get away
And I’m not scared now.
And I’m not scared now. No…

I am aware now of how
everything’s gonna be fine one day
Too late, I’m in hell
I am prepared now
seems everyone’s gonna be fine
One day too late, just as well
I am prepared now,
seems everything’s gonna be fine for me
For me; for myself.
For me, for me, for myself
For me, for me, for myself"

~Seether, Fine Again

[Lindar]

No good deed goes unpunished
No act of charity goes unresented
No good deed goes unpunished
That's my new creed
My road of good intentions
Led where such roads always lead
No good deed
Goes unpunished!

Wicked Sound track: No Good Deed

[The Morrigan]

Think of all the hate there is in Red China
Then take a look around in your own backyard
You may leave here for 4 days in space
But when you return, it's the same old place
The poundin' of the drum, the pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace
Hate your next-door neighbor,
But don't forget to say your grace
Eve of Destruction as performed by the Screaming Jets


Got to get a handle, got to climb up another rung
I'm tired of being down, I don't want to drown
I'm gonna walk, gonna walk, like a walking time bomb
I don't want to go off, but I will if I'm forced to run
Sad Song by the Screaming Jets

[Josh]

This one goes out to Bratty as the Victor/Kat song from the Apocalypse/War of Rebirth chronicle.

For what's worth, the truth might hurt you.
(There's little you can do.)
When shadows fall I will desert you.
(Then that's what you will do.)

Tiamat, Divided

And for Petro, my current UD character, from the Adversary story that Caz and I need to get around to editing someday...

What do you see in the dark
when the demons come for you?
(Skip a little)
I never thought I'd feel this way
I never thought that I'd see a day
I'd run away from anything or anywhere or anyone
(skip some more)
Its taken me all of my anger
And taken me all of my hate
To learn how my life came together
Releasing the demons again

Godsmack, Releasing the Demons

[Bratty]

~smiles~ those were some good times. Thanks for the memories, and lyrics.

[Josh]

Wish that I could be outlaw
Runnin' from the laws of time
Goin' vigilante against the seasons
I can't help but rewind
I'd always keep my revolver
Steady and fast at my side
And I'd rob a train bound for glory
If I thought I needed a ride

Jeff Black, Same ole River

[Lindar]

The trouble with school is
They always try to teach the wrong lesson
Believe me, I've been kicked out
Of enough of them to know
They want you to become less callow
Less shallow
But I say: why invite stress in?
Stop studying strife
And learn to live "the unexamined life":

Dancing through life
Skimming the surface
Gliding where turf is smooth
Life's more painless
For the brainless
Why think too hard?
When it's so soothing
Dancing through life
No need to tough it
When you can sluff it off as I do
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters
It's just life
So keep dancing through

Dancing through life
Swaying and sweeping
And always keeping cool
Life is fraught-less
When you're thoughtless
Those who don't try
Never look foolish
Dancing through life
Mindless and careless
Make sure you're where less
Trouble is rife
Woes are fleeting
Blows are glancing
When you're dancing
Through life:

Wicked : Dancing Through Life

[Bratty]

To my Brother, Josh,

This is the song, since I met you in person the first time when you were trucking that reminds me of you.

Love ya, bro!

Already Gone
~Eagles

Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
Well, let me tell ya, I got some news for you
And you'll soon find out it's true
And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself

'Cuz I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this victory song
Woo-ooh-ooh

The letter that you wrote me
Made me stop and wonder why
But I guess you felt like you had to set things right
Just remember this, my girl
When you look up in the sky
You can see the stars and still not see the light
That's right

And I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this victory song
Woo-ooh-ooh

Well I know it wasn't you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free
So oftentimes it happens
That we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key

[The Morrigan]

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home.i
All your reindeer armies, are all going home.
The lover who just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor.
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
It's All Over Now Baby Blue by Bob Dylan


Now Billy's out there in the desert sun
And his mother cries when the morning comes
And there's mother's crying all over this world
For poor dead darling boys and girls...
Billy's Bones by the Pogues



Stuck this one in in its entirity because there basically aren't any bits I don't relate to:

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin' the puddles gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
And speak my point of view
But it's not sane, It's not sane
I just want someone to say to me
I'll always be there when you wake
You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made
And I don't understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that there's no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape
escape......escape......escape......
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
You don't like my point of view
You think I'm insane
Its not sane......it's not sane
No Rain by Blind Melon

[Lindar]

Bee in the Bottle
the bee in the bottle is breaking his head
i caught him today i'm going to keep him 'til he's dead
no one here is watching his life
the sting is in the dying
baby bee is looking at me
there's no air in the jar and he just can't breathe
he's got no strength now to stand on his feet
the sting is in the dying

this is all i ever needed and it's my line
this is all i ever needed and it's my line
to the actor in the corner this is my line

nairobi told me and i kept it in my head
nairobi called me and i left here
in the dead of the night
we have reason to believe
you've caught our only majesty
we would like for you to set him free
and fly away

this is all i ever needed and it's my line
this is all i ever needed and it's my line
to the actor in the corner this is my line

the bee in the bottle is shaking his head
i'm sorry for the times you thought i was dead
i've got no time now for suffering defeat
the sting is in the dying

we could all see in but he couldn't see out
the bottle is in danger he's filling it with doubt
it's only time before i make you mine
the sting is in the dying

this is all i ever needed and it's my line
this is all i ever needed and it's my line
to the actor in the corner this is my line

So you sailed away, Into a gray sky morning.
Now i'm here to stay, love can be so boring.
Nothings quite the same now, I just say your name now...

But it's not so bad. Your only the best I ever had.
You don't want me back, Your just the best I ever had.

So you stole my world, now i'm just a phoney,
Remembering the girl/boy,
Leaves me down, and lonely.
Send it in a letter, make yourself feel better.

But it's not so bad, Your only the best I ever head
You don't need me back, Your just the best i ever had.

It may take some time to pach me up inside,
And I can't take it, so I run away and hid.
And i may find in time that you were always right.
Your always right.

So you sailed away, into a grey sky morning,
Now i'm here to stay, love can be so boring.
Was it what you wanted,
Could it be i'm haunted...

But it's not so bad, your only the best I ever had.
You don't want me back, Your just the best i ever had.
