For Life And Liberty

By FALCONER

The four hooves echo in the night.
Pictures of deepest fear reflect in your eyes,
like a fire in your soul.
Burst through the forest of the wild.
The full moon beholds from its starlit sky,
this journey without goal.

The hunt twists and turns,
winding through the dark.
The flame of intensity burns
higher and higher and higher.

The hooves are pounding in the dark,
splitting the silence of the night.
Do you smell the cruel desire?
Your paws are pounding with your heart,
pounding for life and liberty
as the steam is rising higher.

Inside the forest oh so deep,
the creatures of the night watch intensively
this hunt that flashes them by.
Will you escape or will you bleed?
The hunter's at your tail, he calls for victory
with hunger in his eyes.

As the welkin embraces his stars
to a shimmering nightly play,
the arch-enemy of man
is once more prey.

 

[Simon Darkshade]

Manowar - Thor the Powerhead

Black clouds on the horizon
Great thunder and burning rain
His chariot pounding, I heard the heavens scream his name

I watched as he shouted
To the giants that died that day
He held up his hammer high and called Odin for a sign

Thor the mighty, Thor the brave
Crush the infidels in your way
By your hammer let none be saved
Live to die on that final day
Gods, monsters and men
We'll die together in the end

God of thunder, God of rain
Earth shaker who feels no pain
The powerhead of the universe
Now send your never ending curse

I watched as he shouted
To the giants that died that day
He held up his hammer high and called Odin for a sign

Thor the mighty, Thor the brave
Crush the infidels in your way
By your hammer let none be saved
Live to die on that final day
Gods, monsters and men
We'll die together in the end

Swing your hammer to crack the sky
Lift your cape so that you might fly
Back to Odin and gods on high
And leave this mortal world

Thor the mighty, Thor the brave
Crush the infidels in your way
By your hammer let none be saved
Live to die on that final day
Gods, monsters and men
We'll die together in the end
Odin

That's the kind of song that would have been great as the theme to Operation Barabrossa!

 

[Sparrowhawk]

I was unable to find the lyrics to one of my favorite sad-songs of all time. If anyone has the disc, or otherwise knows the lyrics, please help me out. The song is

The Last Gunfighter Ballad - Johnny Cash

 

[Sparrowhawk]

Also, here are the handwritten lyrics to my current favorite. Go to www.lambstar.net for audio samples and more info.

 

[gr8ful wes]

Remorseless
I think the last verse goes
\Poor girl wants to marry
rich girl wants to flirt
rich man goes to ?
poor man goes to dirt
blah blah(I for got but the last line, the most important line says
I don't know much of any thing but I will take another toke.

Have not heard that one in years.

Ants Marching: by Dave Matthews Band

he wakes up in the morning
does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling
never changes a thing
the weeke ends the week begins
she thinks, we look at each other
wondering what the other is thinking
but we nver say a thing
and these crimes between us grow deeper
take these chances
place them in a box until a quieter time
lights down, you up and die
goes to visit his mommy
she feeds him well his concerns he forets them
and remembers being small
playing under the table and dreaming
driving along on this highway
all these cars and upon the sidewalk
people in every direction
no words exchanged, no time to exchange and when
all the little ants are marching
red and black antennae waving
they all do it the same
they all do it the same way
candyman tempting the thoughts of a
sweet tooth tortured by weit loss
program cutting the ocrners
loose end, loose end cut cut
on the fence, not to offend
cut cut cut cut
take these chances
place them in a box until a quieter time
lights down you up and die
lights down you up and die

What Would You Say: DMB
up and down the puppies' hair
fleas and ticks jump everywhere
'cause of original sin
down the hill fell jack and jill
and you came tumbling after
'cause of original sin
rip away the tears
drink a hope to happy years
and you may find
a lifetime's passed you by
what would you say
don't drop the big one
if you a monkey on a string
don't cut my lifeline
if you a doggie on a chain
don't bite the mailman
what would you say
i was there when the bear
ate his head, thought it was a candy
everyone goes in the end
knock knock on the door
who's it for, there's nobody in here
look in the mirror my freind
i don't understand at best
and connot speak for all the rest
the morning rise a lifetime's passed me by
every dog has its day every day has its way
of being forgotten
mom it's my birthday
what would you say

I am a big DMB's fan. These are only a few of my favorites.

 

[gr8ful wes]

Aw shucks, here goes
a goofy little ditty called
Happy Boy by the Beat Farmers, or was it the Beat Rodeo?

Walking down the street just the other day
hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba
got so happy that I just had to say
hubba hubba....

Chorus:
I'm a happy boy(HAPPY BOY)
a happy boy(HAPPY BOY)
aint it great when things are goin' your way, HEY HEY

My little dog spot got hit by a car
Hubba..........
put his guts in a box and I put em in a jar
Hubba.....

Chorus
Im a happy boy etc..

Kazoo solo with gargling

Forgot all about 'em for a month and a half
Hubba....
Opened up the box and I just had to laugh
hubba...

Chorus
end

The Captain
Kasey Chambers

I don't have as many friends because
I'm not as pretty as I was
I've kicked myself at times
Because I lied

So I will have to learn to stand my ground
I'll tell them I won't be around
I'll move on over to your town
And hide

And you be the captain, and I am no one
And you can carry me if you want to
And you can lay low just like your father
And if I tread upon you feet you just say so

'Cause you're the captain, I am no one
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you

To you

Well I have handed all my efforts in
Searched here for my second wind
Is there somewhere here to let me in?
I ask

So I slammed the door they slammed at me
I found the place I'm meant to be
I figured out my destiny
At last

And you be the captain and I'll be no one
And you can carry me away if you want to
And we can lay low, just like your father
And if I tread upon your feet , you just say so

'Cause you're the captain, I am no one
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you

To you

Did I forget to thank you
For the ride?
I hadn't tried
I tend to run away and hide

You be the captain and I'll be no one
And you can carry me away if you want to
You can lay low, just like your father
And if I tread upon you feet, you just say so

'Cause you're the captain I am no one
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you

'Cause you're the captain I am no one
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you

You're the captain I am no one
And I owe one to you

Talking Head

By MOTORHEAD

Don't touch that dial!

Television screams, your face turning green,
Don't listen to the news,
Don't know what you hear, they never make it clear,
They like to keep your state confused,
Propaganda time, the official line,
You're hungry, you get fed,
Everlasting smile, you must convey their style,
But they're just a Talking Head

Television voice don't give you any choice,
You only hear the man,
Don't take them in, you don't know where they been,
'Cos it's a complex plan,
They keep you nice and quiet, even control your diet,
You're hungry you get fed,
Teach you to be meek, 'til all you are is weak,
'Til you're just a Talking Head

Television screams, this ought to be a dream,
Remember what I say,
Don't be hypnotised by sugar coated lies,
Don't switch it on today,
It's the way things are, from that pickle jar,
You're hungry you get fed,
But if you play the game, you become the same,
Another Talking Head

 

[Sparrowhawk]

Hooray for Becka! She found the lyrics I was looking for. Here it is:

The Last Gunfighter Ballad - Johnny Cash

The old gunfighter stood on the porch
And stared into the sun
And relived all the old days, back when he was living by the gun
When deadly games of pride were played
And living was mistakes not made
And the thought of the smell of the black powder smoke
And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke

The thought of the smell of the black powder smoke
And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke

And it's always keep your back to the sun
and you can can almost feel the weight of that gun
It's faster than snakes or the blink of an eye
And it's a time for all slow men to die
His eyes get squinty and he's straight as a log
As he empties his gun at the dirty dog
And he's hit by the smell of the black powder smoke
And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke

Hit by the smell of the black powder smoke
And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke

Now the burn of a bullet is only a scar
And he's back in his chair in front of the bar
And the streets are empty and the blood's all dried
The dead are dust and the whiskey's inside
So buy him a drink and lend him an ear
He's nobody's fool and he's the only one here
Who remembers the smell of the black powder smoke
And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke

Remembers the smell of the black powder smoke
And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke

Said I stood in that street before it was paved
I learned to shoot or be shot before I could shave
And I did it all for the money and the fame
Noble was nothing but feeling no shame
And nothing was sacred but stayin' alive
And all that I learned from a Colt 45
Was to cuss the smell of the black powder smoke
And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke

Cuss the smell of the black powder smoke
And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke

Now he's just an old man that nobody believes
Says he's a gunfighter, the last of his breed
And there's ghosts in the street seeking revenge
Calling him out to the lunatic fringe
He's out in the traffic now, checking the sun
And he's killed by a car as he goes for his gun
So much for the smell of the black powder smoke
And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke

So much for the smell of the black powder smoke
And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke

The Road to Valhalla - Skrewdriver

There is a road
And it leads to Valhalla,
Where only the chosen are allowed.

There is a boy
With a dream of Valhalla
A place in the land of the gods.

But in the heart where the fire burns forever,
Where life goes on for those who fell in battle
The guards are waiting
The moment he falls in the fight
And he will rise when the sun goes down.

Raised high his sword
As he cried out Valhalla
His dream had become reality,
And tonight he will dine on the road to Valhalla
Chosen to feast with the gods.
But in the heart where the fire burns forever,
Where life goes on for the mighty in valkyre
The journey has finally come to an end
For the boy
And he has risen as the bravest of them all

 

[boann]

for those of us who can't forgive anymore


Forgive
(Rebecca Lynn Howard/Trey Bruce)

I always said that'd be it
That I wouldn't stick around
If it ever came to this
Here I am so confused
How am I supposed to leave
When I can't even move
In the time that it would've took to say
"Honey I'm home, how was your day"
You dropped a bomb right where we live
And just expected me to forgive

Well that's a mighty big word
For such a small man
And I'm not sure I can
'Cause I don't even know now who I am
It's too soon for me to say forgive

I should ask but I won't
Was it love or just her touch
'Cause I don't think I want to know
So get you some things and get out
Don't call me for a day or two
So I can sort this out
Well you might as well've ripped the life
Right out of me, right here tonight
When through the fallen tears you said
Can you ever just forgive

Well that's a mighty big word
For such a small man
And I'm not sure I can
'Cause I don't even know now who I am
It's too soon for me to say forgive

Well you know what they say
Forgive and forget,
Relive and regret

Forgive, well that's a mighty big word
For such a small man
And I'm not sure I can
'Cause I don't even know now who I am
It's too soon for me to say forgive

It's too soon for me to say
Forgive

How Can You Mend A Broken Heart

I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend a this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again

I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow, no one said a word about the sorrow

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again

Stand Up And Shout

By DIO

It's the same old song
You've gotta be somewhere at sometime
They never let you fly

It's like broken glass
You get cut before you see it
So open up your eyes

You've got desire
So let it out
You've got the fire
Stand up and shout

You've got wings of steel
But they never really move you
You only seem to crawl

You've been nailed to the wheel
But never really turning
You know you've got to want it all

You've got desire
So let it out
You've got the fire
Stand up and shout

You are the strongest chain
And not just some reflection
So never hide again

You are the driver
You own the road
You are the fire go on explode

You've got desire
So let it out
You've got the power
Stand up and shout

Rising Unchaned

By VIRGIN STEELE

Piercing the veil of Eternity, lashed by the winds of Hades
Titan fists and Gods collide
From the caves of ice the Midgard Serpent roars
As the stars fall from the sky
War kills, we die, with golden tears, Odin falls

You're the deliverer-King Unchained
You're the deliverer-King Unchained

With a twilight kiss upon your frozen brow
Golden Dawn when you awake
You're the first and last whose coming was foretold
Crown of Glory, worlds unfold
Come forth arise, twelve Golden Dreams forge the prize

You're the deliverer-King Unchained
You're the deliverer-He Who Reigns

"Meeting on the Twilight Bridge, the Giants of Jotenheim align
against the Hosts of Heaven. The sun turns black and falls,
lightning cracks Bifrost the Rainbow Bridge of three hues,
while time comes to an end.
The wolf Fenrir breaks his chain, Yggdrasil, is laid waste and the
Universe comes crashing down. But after defeat, One will come
beyond the reach of all Evil, greater even than Odin, to create a
new Heaven and Earth set in a Golden Age forevermore."

Don't cry for mercy for you know there will be none
There in your darkness, you've been blinded by the sun
And you'll see me tread the air, crown of fire upon my hair, you will die
Come forth arise, your time has come, forge the prize

Don't cry for mercy `cause you know there will be none
There in your darkness, you've been blinded by the sun
Crowned in blood I tread the air, worlds are formed within my stare
See them RISE !!!

You're the deliverer-King Unchained
You're the deliverer-King Unchained

You're the deliverer-He Who Reigns !!!

Dedicated to Boann, may she soon feel better.

REM
Everybody Hurts

When the day is long
And the night, the night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough of this life
Well hang on
Don't let yourself go
'cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts
Sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone
(Hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go
(Hold on)
If you think you've had too much of this life
Well hang on

'cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts

Don't throw your hand
Oh, no
Don't throw your hand
When you feel like you're alone
No, no, no you're not alone

If you're on your own in this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much of this life
To hang on
Well, everybody hurts
Sometimes, everybody cries
And everybody hurts
Sometimes
And everybody hurts
Sometimes

So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on,
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

Everybody hurts

You are not alone

This is one of my favorite Beatles songs, but unfortunately it doesn't get played alot due to the fact that Charles Manson thought that Jesus was using the song to send him secret messages.

Helter Skelter
The Beatles

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again.

Do you, don't you want me to love you
I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you
Tell me tell me tell me come on tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.

Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter

Will you, won't you want me to make you
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.

Look out helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter

Look out, cause here she comes.

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
And I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
And I get to the bottom and I see you again

Well do you, don't you want me to make you
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.

Look out helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Look out helter skelter
She's coming down fast
Yes she is
Yes she is.

 

[napoleon526]

Okay, everybody must now strip down to their underwear and dance like Tom Cruise!

Old Time Rock and Roll
Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band

Just take those old records off the shelf
I sit and listen to them by myself
Today's music ain't got the soul
I like that old time rock and roll

Don't try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me on the floor
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock and roll

Still like that old time rock and roll
That kind of music just soothes my soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock and roll

We won't hear 'em play a tango
I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul
There's only one sure way to get me to go
Start playing some old time rock and roll

Call me relic, call me what you will
Say I'm old fashioned, say I'm over the hill
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock and roll

Still like that old time rock and roll
That kind of music just soothes my soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock and roll

Still like that old time rock and roll
That kind of music just soothes my soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock and roll

Here's a lovely, season appropriate Christmas carol:

The Night Santa Went Crazy
Weird Al Yankovic

Down in the workshop all the elves were makin' toys
For the good Gentile girls and the good Gentile boys
When the boss busted in, nearly scared 'em half to death
Had a rifle in his hands and cheap whiskey on his breath
From his beard to his boots he was covered with ammo
Like a big fat drunk disgruntled Yuletide Rambo
And he smiled as he said with a twinkle in his eye,
"Merry Christmas to all - now you're all gonna die!"

The night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nick went insane
Realized he'd been gettin' a raw deal
Something finally must have snapped in his brain

Well, the workshop is gone now, he decided to bomb it
Everywhere you'll find pieces of Cupid and Comet
And he tied up his helpers and he held the elves hostage
And he ground up poor Rudolph into reindeer sausage
He got Dancer and Prancer with an old German Luger
And he slashed up Dasher just like Freddy Krueger
And he picked up a flamethrower and he barbequed Blitzen
And he took a big bite and said, "It tastes just like chicken!"

The night Santa went crazy
The night Kris Kringle went nuts
Now you can't hardly walk around the North Pole
Without steppin' in reindeer guts

There's the National Guard and the F.B.I.
There's a van from the Eyewitness News
And helicopters circlin' 'round in the sky
And the bullets are flyin', the body count's risin'
And everyone's dyin' to know, oh Santa, why?
My my my my my my
You used to be such a jolly guy

(sirens, gunshots, screams, explosions)

Yes, Virginia, now Santa's doin' time
In a federal prison for his infamous crime
Hey, little friend, now don't you cry no more tears
He'll be out with good behavior in 700 more years
But now Vixen's in therapy and Donner's still nervous
And the elves all got jobs working for the postal service
And they say Mrs. Clause, she's on the phone every night
With her lawyer negotiating the movie rights

They're talkin' bout - the night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nicholas flipped
Broke his back for some milk and cookies
Sounds to me like he was sick of gettin' gypped

Wo, the night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nick went insane
Realized he's gettin' a raw deal
Something finally must have snapped in his brain
Wo, something finally must have snapped in his brain
Tell ya, something finally must have snapped... in his brain
