PAIN - Monkey business


The touch of magic that you thought you once had
Was wiped out with that smile you forced on your face
You hide your horns and try to bury things in your hate
There's no give and take in your ugly race

Lie after lie
Do the same mistakes again
It's always the same
Time after time
Trying to save us from ourselves
But you're always to late

I'm not gonna take this shit and I'm not gonna drown
Again and again you set the rules for us to lay it down
Suits and ties decide your destiny from dollar signs
And when the goddamn boat starts to sink, they don't care who's left behind

World domination
Tries to save us
Death; our savior
Termination

"Step right up people and vote for your favorite disaster!
They are all corrupted so it doesn't really matter"

At night, the limos pulling up to the clubs
Expensive dinners, whores on government credit cards
They've done this for years then they get busted in their act
Then you sit and cry in court and say you'll pay it back

Lie after lie
Do the same mistakes again
It's always the same
Time after time
Trying to save us from ourselves
But you're always to late

I'm not gonna take this shit and I'm not gonna drown
Again and again you set the rules for us to lay it down
Suits and ties decide your destiny from dollar signs
And when the goddamn boat starts to sink, they don't care who's left behind

I'm not gonna take this shit
I'm not gonna drown
I'm not gonna take this shit
I'm not gonna drown

"On a Piano (eating popcorn)" by Hamster

 

[Lionheart]

The wolves, my love, will come
Taking us home where dust once was a man

Is there Life before a Death?
Do we long too much and never let in?

Howl
7 days to the wolves
Where will we be when they come
7 days to the poison
And a place in heaven
Time drawing near as they come to take us

This is my church of choice
Love's strength standeth in love's sacrifice

For the rest, I have to say to you
I will dream like the God
And suffer like all the dead children

Howl
7 days to the wolves
Where will we be when they come
7 days to the poison
And a place in heaven
Time drawing near as they come to take us

This is
Where heroes
And cowards
Part ways

Light the fire, feast
Chase the ghost, give in
Take the road less traveled by
Leave the city of fools
Turn every poet loose

7 days to the wolves

Yep one of my favourites too!

These two as well:
not the best vid but only youtube one I could find of the entire song.
Lyrics:
The end

The songwriter’s dead
The blade fell upon him
Taking him to the white lands
Of Empathica,
Of Innocence
Empathica
Innocence

The dreamer and the wine
Poet without a rhyme
A widowed writer, torn apart by chains of Hell

One last perfect verse
Is still the same old song
Oh Christ, how I hate what I have become

Take me home

Getaway, runaway, fly away
Lead me astray, to dreamer’s hideaway
I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
Forgive me,
I have but two faces
One for the world,
One for God
Save me
I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world

My home was there and then
Those meadows of heaven
Adventure-filled days
One with every smiling face

Please, no more words
Thoughts from a severed head
No more praise
Tell me once my heart goes right

Take me home

Getaway, runaway, fly away
Lead me astray, to dreamer’s hideaway
I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, the whore for the cold world
Forgive me, I have but two faces
One for the world,
One for God
Save me
I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
Whore for the cold world
Whore for the cold world

Sparkle my scenery
With turquoise waterfall
With beauty underneath
The Ever Free

Tuck me in beneath the blue
Beneath the pain, beneath the rain
Goodnight kiss for a child in time
Swaying blade my lullaby

On the shore we sat and hoped
Under the same pale moon
Whose guiding light chose you
Chose you all

"I’m afraid. I'm so afraid.
Being raped again and again and again.
I know I will die alone.
But loved.

"You live long enough to hear the sound of guns
Long enough to find yourself screaming every night
long enough to see your friends betray you.

"For years have I been strapped unto this altar
Now I only have three minutes and counting
I just wish the tide would catch me first
And give me a death
I always longed for"

Second robber to the right of Christ
Cut in half - infanticide
The world will rejoice today
As the crows feast on the rotting poet

Everyone must bury their own
No pack to bury the heart of stone
Now he's home in Hell, serves him well
Slain by the bell, tolling for his farewell

The morning dawned upon this altar
Remains of the dark passion play
Performed by his friends without shame
Spitting on his grave as they came

Getaway, runaway, fly away
Lead me astray, to dreamer’s hideaway
I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, the whore for the cold world
Forgive me, I have but two faces
One for the world,
One for God save me
I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
Whore for the cold world
Whore for the cold world

"Today, in the year of our Lord 2005,
Tuomas was called from the cares of the world
He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day
The music he wrote had too long been without silence
He was found naked and dead
With a smile in his face, a pen and 1000 pages of erased text"

Save me!

Be still, my son
You're home
Oh when did you become so cold?
The blade will keep on descending
All you need is to feel my love

Search for beauty, find your shore
Try to save them all, bleed no more
You have such ocean's within
In the end
I will always love you

The beginning

And:

An old man by a seashore
At the end of day
Gazes the horizon
With seawinds in his face
Tempest-tossed island
Seasons all the same
Anchorage unpainted
And a ship without a name

Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
The ones on their travels homeward from afar

This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind long ago

The albatross is flying
Making him daydream
The time before he became
One of the world`s unseen
Princess in the tower
Children in the fields
Life gave him it all:
An island of the universe

Now his love`s a memory
A ghost in the fog
He sets the sails one last time
Saying farewell to the world
Anchor to the water
Seabed far below
Grass still in his feet
And a smile beneath his brow

This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind so long ago

 

[El Freako]

If there is any song that I have played to death this year then this would be it:

Mudvayne - King Of Pain

There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag pole rag, and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running round my brain
I've always hoped that you would end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a little black spot on the sun today
(That's my soul up there)
It's the same old thing as yesterday
(That's my soul up there)
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
(That's my soul up there)
There's a flag pole rag, and the wind won't stop
(That's my soul up there)

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running round my brain
I've always hoped that you would end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
(That's my soul up there)
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
(That's my soul up there)
There's a blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb
(That's my soul up there)
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
(That's my soul up there)

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running round my brain
I've always hoped that you would end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread

King of pain

There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
(That's my soul up there)
There's a black winged gull with a broken back
(That's my soul up there)
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old shit as yesterday

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running round my brain
I've always hoped that you would end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

King of pain, king of pain, king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain....


Prediction for 2009? Amon Amarth or Bring Me The Horizon.

That clip is always on at the gym, it often makes me ask the age old question whether it is ok to fap on the treadmill.

Five Finger Death Punch - The Bleeding

 

[TJ]

I really liked Young Jeezy's album "Recession." There are a lot of good lyrics from quite a few songs. This one's pretty cool:

 

[Beefcake]

OxyCotton - Lil Wyte


Everything - Michael Buble


and

Black Label - Lamb Of God

 

[PrizeFighteR]

I found out about these guys a couple of months ago and haven't stopped listening sense..

 

[Beefcake]

I forgot one more

Out Here Grindin' - DJ Khaled, Akon, Lil' Wayne, Trick Daddy, Ace Hood, Lil' Boosie, Plies, Rick Ross

 

[Duality]

that song is good and i'm not knocking the band from a music standpoint at all, but i can't believe they wear masks. really, this music is like punk rock type and the bands image is not served better wearing them considering the type of music they make. all bands that wear them have always been heavy bands and these guys wearing them just makes me........

 

[PrizeFighteR]

LMAO Beefcake, Out Here Grindin'! I always find myself listening to that. 50's Get Up is another favorite.

that song is good and i'm not knocking the band from a music standpoint at all, but i can't believe they wear masks. really, this music is like punk rock type and the bands image is not served better wearing them considering the type of music they make. all bands that wear them have always been heavy bands and these guys wearing them just makes me........

I understand where you're coming from dude. The masks are kind of silly. But the music kicks ass!

here's another one of my favorites:

But it's ok for Slipknot to wear them? :wutyousay: A band doesn't have to be heavy to wear masks.

Yes. as well as bands like mushroomhead and the likes.

A band doesn't have to be heavy to wear masks.

it's typically the image of metal bands to wear masks and the likes to go for a certain image. i feel a band like this just comes off wrong in doing the same thing. it's like punk rock and i think it comes off as trying too hard. that's just my 2 cents.

cool man i'm glad you see where i'm coming from. but like i said i'm not hating on the music at all, it was actually pretty good.

 

[Skeptic]

Masks are used as a gimmick... plain and simple. They are a way to get noticed.

 

[Hypocrisy86]

^^ yea, The Berzerker had masks for a while but got rid of them.
now there brutality is getting them noticed more.

VNV Nation - tempest

These are not words, they're only feelings
There are no sounds that you can hear
There is no form that you can touch
There are no colors for you to see

The only sound is a distant thunder
A tempest rages so far away from me
I walked for miles and I started running
Towards the sound and storm where you might find me
Towards the sound and storm where you might find me

And I ran until I had the feeling
That the tempest I had heard surrounded me
Here my heart so filled with loving
Cried out and told of wonders that I feel
Cried out and told of wonders that I feel

Here my heart is so filled with loving

And I tell myself, I keep repeating
That your ways are bringing you to me
And I tell myself, I keep repeating
That your ways are bringing you to me

And I tell myself, I keep repeating
That your ways are bringing you to me
That I will find my true salvation
That these ways of mine are bringing you to me

That I will find my true salvation
That these ways of mine are bringing you to me
And I tell myself, I keep repeating
That your ways are bringing you to me, are bringing you to me

Because here my heart, so filled with loving
Crying out the wonders that I feel
Here I will find my true salvation
And my ways are bringing you to me

I tell myself, I keep repeating
That your ways are bringing you to me, bringing you to me
