[Finris]

Meum est propositum in taberna mori
A (traditional) student/fraternity song and some remakes

[Lady Ostara]

We'll never get free
Lamb to the slaughter
What you gon' do
When there's blood in the water
The price of your greed
Is your son and your daughter
What you gon' do
When there's blood in the water

Look me in my eyes
Tell me everything's not fine
Oh the people ain't happy
And the river has run dry
You thought you could go free
But the system is done for
If you listen real closely
There's a knock at your front door

We'll never get free
Lamb to the slaughter
What you gon' do
When there's blood in the water
The price of your greed
Is your son and your daughter
What you gon' do
When there's blood in the water
When there's blood in the
When there's blood in the

Beg me for mercy
Admit you were toxic
You poisoned me just for
Another dollar in your pocket
Now I am the violence
I am the sickness
Won't accept your silence
Beg me for forgiveness

We'll never get free
Lamb to the slaughter
What you gon' do
When there's blood in the water
The price of your greed
Is your son and your daughter
What you gon' do
When there's blood in the water
When there's blood in the water
When there's blood in the

I am the people
I am the storm
I am the riot
I am the swarm
When the last tree's fallen
The animal can't hide
Money won't solve it
What's your alibi?
What's your alibi?
What's your alibi?

What you gon' do when there's blood in the blood in the water?
When there's blood in the water
When there's blood in the
When there's blood in the water

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

Cause I'm praying for rain
I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.

Mom, please flush it all away.
I wanna see it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.

Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.
And I can't imagine why you wouldn't welcome any change, my friend.

I wanna see it all come down.
Bring it down
Suck it down.
Flush it down.

Ænema

Tool, Ænema (Explicit), 1997

[Winter Star12]

Hear all the people say "You can't wake up this is not a dream. You're part of a machine. You are not a human being." With your face all made up living on a screen. Low on self-esteem so they run on gasoline. Ooooh oh. I think there's a flaw in my code. Oooooh oh. These voices won't leave me alone. For my heart is gold and my hands are cold.

[RabidChoco]

From sea to sea
And shore to shore
There's nothing left here to explore
From street to street
And door to door
We're bored.

"Bored" by That Handsome Devil

Some people like to eat chicken
Other folk'd rather have pork.
I don't really care about the food I eat
Just as long as I can eat it with a spork.

"Spork" by Da Vinci's Notebook

[The Valusian]

These are lyrics I heard a long time ago on some crazy independent radio station on the east coast USA. I have no idea who the artist is, so if you know, please share. A bit of a mystery, sure. But definitely in my top interesting lyrics on sheer creativity. Anyway, I'm pretty sure the song was called A Dog Named Dammit, (and no it's not that country/bluegrass/whatever song. It sounded like it was written by postmodern beatniks who were tripping on shrooms while being arrested by Andy Warhol) because it went like this:

I was stolen by a dog named Dammit!
A dog named Dammit took me...
From here to there and back again!
And he left me down by the sea...

(Repeat that MANY times)

(Maybe other lyrics, I can't remember)

We were no where by the sea!
We were no where by the sea!
We were only by a pool.
We were no where by the sea.

-WE WERE IN THE DESEEEEEEEEEEEERRRT!!!

[Little Bill]

The dopest rapper this century, I sodomized your father in a federal penitentiary.
And on the day I got out? I went to your mother's house, and slept on the couch.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

Are my pleadings
Loud enough for you to hear?
In this fucked-up world
In which I wonder should I live

All this hate that I feel for you
My one true enemy
Once was blind but now I see
And it makes me question why

Have we become or always been
Just the pawns up on the board?
So be entertained
Try to avoid the truth that’s blasting in your eyes

Have I changed things?
Still I fear the answer’s no
In this fucked-up world
In which I feel I stand alone

All this hate that I feel for you
My one true enemy
Once was blind but now I see
It makes me question
Why do we choose to live this way?
I try to free my mind from
What’s not meant to be
It makes me question why

Why

Living Illusion, Suffering (Explicit), 2014

[SmokeDragon]

Used to resonate deeply with me, and still some of my most favourite lyrics:

Tell me what to say
And lead me through the shadows
Show me the escape
Where you go I will follow

I left behind
All that I used to be
So that you'd stay with me

And you've become
Everything that I need
For my sanity

How can something so enticing
Have such awful side effects?
All the itching and the scratching
From withdrawal keeps me out of check

I am fixated
On all of the things
We were together...
But those are fragments
That are better off
Lost forever

I'm falling apart piece by piece
To shards of what you have made of me
But I've risen above all that I have become
Turned from the pain I was trained to love

I left behind
All that I used to be
But this time
I did it for me
And you were everything I needed
To set me free

If I cut the strings
That held me hostage
Would fall and shatter?
If that's what it takes
To breathe again
Would it even matter?

How can something so enticing
Have such awful side effects?
All the itching and the scratching
From withdrawal keeps me out of check

I am fixated
On all of the things
We were together...
But those are fragments
That are better off
Lost...

And just
How can something so enticing
Have such awful side effects?
All the itching and the scratching
From withdrawal keeps me out of check

I am fixated
On all of the things
We were together...
But those are fragments
That are better off...
Lost forever!!

Crystalline, by CirCrush

I particularly like the verse
"If I cut the strings
That held me hostage
Would fall and shatter?
If that's what it takes
To breathe again
Would it even matter?"
It was the one that most resonated with me back then.

[skidcrow]

a heart that's full up like a landfill
a job that slowly kills you
bruises that won't heal
you look so tired, unhappy
bring down the government
they don't, they don't speak for us
i'll take a quiet life
a handshake of carbon monoxide

I'm a pretty impossible lady to be with.

тебе когда-нибудь снился сон, что ты хотел, чтобы он сделал тебя так сильно, что мог сделать что-нибудь?

[Arachnid0]

Ain't no angels on no shoulders.

The Pope ain't much,
And the devil's just a lie.

And even with your clout and money,

When the Reaper comes,
We will kiss your ass goodbye.

Yes we will!

-Eddie Murphy, Temporary

[Bartimaeus]

Faith is so unkind,
Love's so hard to find,
Life will wear you down,
Blind will lead the blind!
Preachers fade away,
Sinners stay the same,
I had to escape,
Cause I couldn't find my way!

[...]

Hell is what you make,
It's about how much you hate,
Trust will harm your faith,
Secrets make you break!
Victims fade away,
Martyrs stay the same,
I am due to fight
The devil inside my mind!

[...]

Days of Jupiter, Fears Come Alive

[Moonlight Faun]

Well, there's one kind of favor
I'll ask of you
There's just one kind of favor
I'll ask of you
There's one kind of favor
I'll ask of you

See that my grave is kept clean.

And there's two white horses following me
I got two white horses following me
There's two white horses following me

Waiting on my burial ground.

Did you ever hear that coughing sound?
Have you ever heard that coughing sound?
Did you ever hear that coughing sound?

Means another poor boy is underground.

Did you ever hear them church bells toll?
Have you ever heard them church bells toll?
Did you ever hear them church bells toll?

Means another poor boy is dead and gone.

-Laibach : See That My Grave Is Kept Clean.

[Jazzy Snazzy]

Illness and plagues, torture and blight
Is what she brings
Mocking holy standards, deceiving feeble fools
Is what she loves
Granted with powers, gifted with magic
Watching the world through raven eyes

Damned woman mischievous whore
Heretic princess
Devil's own

Her seductive elegance
Excites your weak flesh
Her diabolical beauty
Enchants your bewildered mind

You damn woman
You mischievous whore
You heretic princess
You are Devil's own

[performing an ecstatic dance:]
A serenade made out of black magic
She has learned to set souls afire
And makes sure that you never
Will leave it's trance
Her diabolical beauty
Enchants your bewildered mind

I would be trouble.

Mr. Gnome

[RusalkaRabbit]

When we had coffee and coffee and coffee and coffee
And coffee and coffee some more
He'd go to work, and she'd take a sick day and rot at the core
And by the time he came back, she'd scrubbed the bathrooms and made them smell like pine
It would be almost as if nothing had happened
And he'd give her time, oh,
oh, and he'd give her time

[King Tai]

The sweet taste of victory
Go head and breath it in like antihistamine
I know they saying "damn, yea snapped wit this beat!"
Fuck you expect? I've got a history
Groupie love now, gotta be them wheels!
Haters back down, gotta be that steel!
I know they cant wait till ya outta ya deal!
Look how they did d'angelo ask em how do it feel!
My best friends worry bout me
'Cause they know when you famous/fame-ass
And you had made cash the media aims at us and you be up so high
If you ever fall off, it feel like a plane crash
But god don't ever give me nothing I cant handle
So please don't ever give me records I cant sample
So I could vacate where it ain't no channels
But it's quite ok for a gangsta to wear sandals
They say because of the fame and stardom
I'm somewhere in between the church and insane asylum
I guess it's messing with my health then
And this verse so crazy when I finish
I'm just going check myself in, again

They Say - Common and Kanye West

[Itatchi Kashi]

Night, the world, it's mine, with nobody else out here
It's time, run wild and royally cavalier
To burn, ignite, I'd do it for so much less
When all is made clear there is nothing else
And here we stand, the sweet arresting duality
And I come to, it's resin all over me
Will I awake, will I get a ride with you
In this race of two

We're an endless stream of choices
We're the softest murmur of voices

Without names we're fantasizing
Dancing like flames, mesmerizing
My dark disquiet playing such eerie harmonies
Making waves and diving under
Lightning to the sound of thunder
My dark disquiet singing such haunting melodies

So white, so still, so bright, it's almost too painful now
I'm ready to fight, to run from the light
And here now comes the sweet corrupting reality
While now I'm free, will I once cease to be
Will I awake, will I get a ride with you
In this race of two

We are momentary masters
We're false kings and bastards

Without names we're fantasizing
Dancing like flames, mesmerizing
My dark disquiet playing such eerie harmonies
Making waves and diving under
Lightning to the sound of thunder
My dark disquiet singing such haunting melodies

We are marionettes by strings animated
Yet like lovers of strings liberated
We are marionettes by strings animated
Yet like lovers of strings liberated
Without names we're fantasizing

Without names we're fantasizing
Dancing like flames, mesmerizing
My dark disquiet playing such eerie harmonies
Making waves and diving under
Lightning to the sound of thunder

My dark disquiet singing such haunting melodies
Brothers by blood separated
Marionettes animated
Lovers of strings liberated
Brothers by blood separated
Marionettes animated
Lovers of strings liberated
