Vendetta
By Destruction

Bloodshed of a conservative force,
Death is selling well of course..
Third world is an easy aim,
Let's start the slaving game!

In times of ignorance,
It's the cruel who will decide.
A life and death license,
No chance to hide!

Vendetta - Kill or be killed!
Too much blood...Has already been spilled
Vendetta - The soul demands for revenge...
Punish all of those who don't have the inner strength.

Lustful blood and games,
Pain has too many names.
Fight fire with fire...
Builds up a sad and cruel empire.

How to sort out the difference,
Between gravity and nonsense.
In times of manipulation...
Truth or imagination?

Vendetta - Kill or be killed!
Too much blood...Has already been spilled
Vendetta - The soul demands for revenge...
Punish all of those who don't have the inner strength.

The blood thirst of the hypnotized masses...
Screams for more gore and guts...
The play is over ashes to ashes,
The lucky survivor will go nuts...

Mack the Knife

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth dear
And he shows em, pearly white
Just a jack knife has macheath dear
And he keeps it way out of sight

When that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows begin to spread
Fancy gloves though has macheath dear
So theres never, never a trace of red

On the sidewalk, one sunday morning
Lies a body, oozin life
Someones sneaking round the corner
Could that someone be mack the knife

From a tugboat, on the river going slow
A cement bag is dropping on down
You know that cement is for the weight dear
You can make a large bet mackies back in town

My man louis miller, he split the scene babe
After drawing out all the bread from his stash
Now macheath spends like a sailor
Do you suppose our boy, hes done something rash

Old satchmo, louis armstrong, bobby darrin
Did this song nice, lady ella too
They all sang it, with so much feeling
That old blue eyes, he aint gonna add nothing new

But with this big band, jumping behind me
Swinging hard, jack, I now I cant lose
When I tell you, all about mack the knife babe
Its an offer, you can never refuse

We got patrick williams, bill miller playing that piano
And this great big band, bringing up the rear
All the band cats, in this band now
They make the greatest sounds, youre ever gonna hear

Oh sookie taudry, jenny diver, polly peachum, old miss lulu brown

Hey the line forms, on the right dear
Now that macheaths back in town
Youd better lock your doors, and call the law
Because macheaths back in town

Beastie Boys
Super Disco breaking


Well it's 50 cups of coffee and you know it's on
I move the crowd to the break of break of dawn
Can't rock the house without the party people
Cause when we're gettin down we are all equal
There's no better or worse between you and me
But I rock the mic so viciously
Like pins and needles and words that sting
At the blink of an eye I will do my thing
It's Like a needle in the cartridge when the record spins
Like diggin down deep in the record bins
Everybody gettin down make no mistake
Nothing sounds quite like an 8 0 8

Money Makin Money Money Makin Manhattan
Super Disco Disco Breakin'
Money Makin Money Money Makin Manhattan
Super Disco Disco Breakin'

Sometimes I like to brag sometimes I'm soft spoken
When I'm in Holland I eat the pannenkoeken
World is the the spice you bring the sauce
You can kiss my ass you funky boss
Now that you got what you want, you want more
I'll be with the hammer and the nail at your door
With these funky beats I be goin' head huntin'
Shouts to my peeps let me know if you feel something
Cause I can give you all you need
A little beat for the rhythm and some words to read
Let me tell you now that's my favorite ****
And when I got a new rhyme I just say it
So Money Makin Money Money Makin Manhattan
Super Disco Disco Breakin'
Money Makin Money Money Makin Manhattan
Super Disco Disco Breakin'

Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast

"Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil sends the
beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short...
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the
beast for it is a human number, its number is Six hundred and
sixty six."

I left alone my mind was blank
I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind

What did I see can I believe that what I saw
that night was real and not just fantasy

Just what I saw in my old dreams were they
reflections of my warped mind staring back at me

'Cos in my dream it's always there the evil face that twists my
mind
and brings me to despair

The night was black was no use holding back
'Cos I just had to see was someone watching me
In the mist dark figures move and twist
Was this all for real or some kind of hell
666 the number of the beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released

Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
As they start to cry hands held to the sky
In the night the fires burning bright
The ritual has begun Satan's work is done
666 the number of the beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight

This can't go on I must inform the law
Can this still be real or just some crazy dream
But I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes
They seem to mesmerise me ... can't avoid their eyes
666 the number of the beast
666 the one for you and me

I'm coming back I will return
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn
I have the fire I have the force
I have the power to make my evil take it's course

The Divine Wings Of Tragedy
Symphony X

Part I - At the Four Corners of the Earth

(Choir)
On the edge of paradise
Tears of woe fall, cold as ice
Hear my cry
Renounce, have you, thy name
Eternal is my pain
(In canon)
Eternal is the pain that leads me to the thrones of temptation
Eternal is the pain that leads me to the thrones of temptation

Part II - In the Room of Thrones

(Instrumental)

Part III - A Gathering of Angels

(Instrumental)

There was a time
When choirs sang the endless melody of light
Music of the spheres
Threre was a place
Where mortals embraced thunder and majesty
Their fate lay in our hands

Feel my wings slowly fading
Forever lost in time
I cry

Part IV - The Wrath Divine

(Instrumental)

The burning conflict I'm feeling
It summons me to descend into the other side
And just beyond the stars blazing
A beam light from a red, velvet moon illuminates me

I will devise, from perfect skies a dark and vengeful day
Faith and mercy gone astray

(Instrumental)

With strength of infinite measure
The mighty sword divides order from chaos in the kingdom below
And from the mansions of glory,
This empty soul cries out one final plea
The end has begun

Our worlds collide
Now in disguise, you'll feel the Wrath Divine
Tears of woe fall from the sky

(Instrumental)

Part V - The Prophet's Cry

(Instrumental)

The prophet cries
Vast battalions rage on in the sky
Rising from the north the bringer of war
Eve of destruction
Summon all who have 'power over fire'
Impending doom from shore to shore

Standing on the edge of paradise I sacrifice my truth and loyalty
Seven deadly sins consume you all, a dance with death I taste the victory

Eternal is the pain that leads me to the thrones of temptation
Rising from the north the warrior prince judgement without compassion eyes of fear
Eternal is the pain that leads me to the thrones of temptation
Like the river Styx, the gates of hell "Abandon hope all ye who enter here"

The prophets cry
As armies fall from the edge of the sky
The Prince of truth, now the bringer of war

The day of wrath
Banish all kings from the face of the land
Dominion for strength is my name

(Instrumental)

Part VI - Bringer of the Apocalypse (Eve of Sacrifice/Armies in the Sky/Dies trae)

(Instrumental)

Part VII - Paradise Regained

Looking out on a blue sky
I can see a new world arising
Like a prisoner unbound
I feel the power and the majesty again

Looking up to the heavens
I can see what I left behind
Beneath the stars, moon and warm sun
And all I know, is my paradise has begun

(Instrumental)

Panzer Battalion
By Sabaton

Under this sun no shadows will fall,
Piercing our eyes as we charge.
An armoured battalion on course to the east,
Closing the end of it's march!

This time we're here to finish a job,
Started decades ago...
Driving the animals out of their holes,
To bury them 6 feet below.

Armoured tanks of mass destruction,
Killers in the east...
Rats who dare to stand before us,
Feel our guns go live!

Death in the shape of a panzer battalion!
Insect of terror... Don't run...
Face your fate like a man!
Cannot outrun our panzer battalion!

Thousands of tons of armour and guns,
Making it's way through the sand...
Our panzer battalion is back for revenge!
Artillery sweeping the land...

First strike is ours - No mercy is shown!
There's rivers of blood in our track...
Breaking their lines of defence with our tanks,
Infantry watching our back...

Blow their AA sites clear for air strike,
Ready for the storm...
Minefields swept there's no surrender,
Feel our napalm burn!

Death in the shape of a panzer battalion!
Insect of terror... Don't run...
Face your fate like a man!
Cannot outrun our panzer battalion!

Under this sun no shadows will fall,
Piercing our eyes as we charge.
An armoured battalion on course to the east,
Closing the end of it's march!

Death in the shape of a panzer battalion!
Insect of terror... Don't run...
Face your fate like a man!
Cannot outrun our panzer battalion!

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dani California

Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi
Poppa was a copper and her momma was a hippie
In Alabama she was swinging hammer
Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama
She never knew that there was anything more than poor
What in the world does your company take me for?


Black bandana, sweet Louisiana
Robbin'a bank in the state of Indiana
She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
On her merry way saying baby what you gonna
Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal .45
Just another way to survive

Chorus:

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah


She's a lover, baby and a fighter
Should've seen her coming when it got a little brighter
With a name like Dani California
Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya
A little loaded she was stealing another breath
I love my baby to death

Chorus:

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah

Who knew the other side of you
Who knew what others died to prove
Too true to say goodbye to you
Too true, too sad sad sad

FPush the fader, gifted animator
One for the now and eleven for the later
Never made it, Up to Minnessota
North Dakota man was a gunnin' for the quota
Down in the badlands she was saving the best for last
it only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fast

Chorus:

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah

Bruce Springsteen - The River

I come from down in the valley
where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
when she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green

We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride

Then I got Mary pregnant
and man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
and the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
No flowers no wedding dress

That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we did ride

I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care

But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
they haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
that sends me down to the river
though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Down to the river
my baby and I
Oh down to the river we ride

 

[De Lorimier]

The Descendents - "'Merican"

We flipped our finger to the king of England
Stole our country from the Indians
With God on our side and guns in our hands
We took it for our own

To build a nation dedicated to liberty
Justice and equality
Does it look that way to you?
It doesn't look that way to me
The sickest joke I know

[Chorus]
Listen up man, I'll tell you who I am
Just another stupid American
You don't wanna listen
You don't wanna understand
So finish up your drink and go home

I come from the land of Ben Franklin
Twain and Poe and Walt Whitman
Otis Redding, Ellington,
The country that I love
But it's a land of the slaves and the Ku Klux Klan
The Haymarket riot and the Great Depression
Joe McCarthy, Vietnam
The sickest joke I know

[Chorus]

I'm proud and ashamed
Every fourth of july
You got to know the truth
Before you say that you got pride

Now the cops got tanks 'cause the kids got guns
Shrinks pushin' pills on everyone
Cancer from the ocean, cancer from the sun
Straight to Hell we go

[Chorus 2x]

Silver Lake
By Dark Moor

Along the river of fantasy we'll get to a place,
Which they want to see. Across the valley of illusion,
We'll have to climb the mountains of confusion,
And challenge all the signs without breaking our union,

The legend tells me that in this place,
The ones who immerse in the Lake,
Inmortality will find. Never ever die...

Run across the seas, find the brightness in the mist,
Following the lane, you will reach the Silver Lake...

Our journey is hard and the lake is far,
We will never fall, in the strength we hold...

Maybe we'll never dream in this endless time,
You will never win if for your goals you don't fight,
Although we're lost in the forest of sorrow,
We'll try hard to cross the dry dune of the death...

The legend tells me that in this place,
The ones who immerse in the Lake,
Inmortality will find. Never ever die...

Run across the seas, find the brightness in the mist,
Following the lane, you will reach the Silver Lake...

Our journey is hard and the lake is far,
We will never fall, in the strength we hold...

I have to do it.

Let it Be
The Beatles (Lennon/McCartney)

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Black Gold
By Running Wild

The world is on fire, hunting for oil,
A handful of liars dividing the spoils!

Evil is walking with a whole bunch of lies,
When money is talking, reality dies...

They came with a lie, feeding their pile,
Souls' gonna die, they're addicted to win.
Selling wrong for right enlarging their file,
Boneheaded games, triumph of sin...

Black gold, stuck to their veins,
Black gold, they're running insane,
Black gold, blood on their hands,
Black gold, life's got no chance...

Black gold...

Raking in money the evil to praise,
Licking it's honey, hellfire to face...

They came with a lie, feeding their pile,
Souls' gonna die, they're addicted to win.
Selling wrong for right enlarging their file,
Boneheaded games, triumph of sin...

Black gold, stuck to their veins,
Black gold, they're running insane,
Black gold, blood on their hands,
Black gold, life's got no chance...

Black gold, all goes up in smoke...
Black gold, their own children to choke...

Black gold...

Pink Floyd
Time

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

Dead an Gone
by Gypsy(same band who wrote Gypsy Queen pts. 1 and 2, for any MidWesterners alive in the early 70's)

Six days of runnin' I've been trying to make it home
And they pursue me till they get back what I stole
Mistakes I've made will follow me home They won't be paid till I'm dead and gone

(2) I know they're closin' in I feel them close behind
I just can't shake 'em, ; It's as if they knew my mind
Mistakes I've made will follow me home They won't be paid till I'm dead and gone
(Instrumental break)

I won't make it home I've already been shown
I won't see another day or it's gone

(3) I'm pushin' hard 'cause I'm so afraid of dyin'
I've got to make it home to see her one more time
Mistakes I've made will follow me home They won't be paid till I'm dead and gone
Till I'm dead and gone Till I'm ...............dead and gone
(Keyboard Instrumental break)

I fell in this hole Nothing but darkness there
I lost all control believing I'd die there
Then you came into my life Picked me up when I thought I was lost
And now I'll keep you, no matter what the cost

I just couldn't breath The air was too thin up there
I wanted to leave but nobody seemed to care
Then you came into my life
Brought me hope so I could see my way
And now my life's changed in so many ways
I've been fooling myself, thinking that I.....could make it all by myself
That's living a lie
Then you came into my life Picked me up when I thought I was lost
And now I'll keep you, no matter what the cost
(Instrumental break)

I won't make it home I've already been shown
I won't see another day or it's gone

(3 repeat) I'm pushin' hard 'cause I'm so afraid of dyin'
I've got to make it home to see her one more time
Mistakes I've made will follow me home They won't be paid till I'm dead and gone
Till I'm dead and gone Till I'm ...............dead and gone

BYOB
System Of A Down

WHY DO THEY ALWAYS SEND THE POOR!
Barbarisms by Barbaras
With pointed heels.
Victorious, victories kneel.
For brand new spankin' deals.
Marching forward hypocritic
And hypnotic computers.
You depend on our protection,

Yet you feed us lies from the table cloth.
La la la la la la la la la,
Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.

Kneeling roses disappearing,
Into Moses’ dry mouth,
Breaking into Fort Knox,
Stealing our intentions,
Hangars sitting dripped in oil,
Crying FREEDOM!

Handed to obsoletion,
Still you feed us lies from the table cloth.
La la la la la la la la la,
Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.
Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.

Blast off, it's party time,
And we don't live in a fascist nation,
Blast off, it's party time,
And where the **** are you?
….. Yeah
Where the **** are you?
Where the **** are you?

Why don’t presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don’t presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor? [X4]

Kneeling roses disappearing,
Into Moses’ dry mouth,
Breaking into Fort Knox,
Stealing our intentions,
Hangars sitting dripped in oil,
Crying FREEDOM!

Handed to obsoletion,
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth.
La la la la la la la la la,
Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.
Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.

Where the **** are you!
Where the **** are you!

Why don’t presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don’t presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor? [X3]
Why, do, they always send the poor [X3]
They only send the poor [x2]

Red Hot Chilli Peppers: Californication
Psychic spies from China
Try to steal your mind's elation
Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations
And if you want these kind of dreams
It's Californication

It's the edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the East
At least it settles in the final location
It's understood that Hollywood
sells Californication

Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin
Or is that war your waging

[Chorus:]
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

Marry me girl be my fairy to the world
Be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside
Getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard
It's Californication

Space may be the final frontier
But it's made in a Hollywood basement
Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station
And Alderon's not far away
It's Californication

Born and raised by those who praise
Control of population everybody's been there
and
I don't mean on vacation

[Chorus]

Destruction leads to a very rough road
But it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar
They're just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world
From Californication

Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest
There is no test
But this is what you're craving

[Chorus]

Beastie Boys
Unite

Goin off the hook like Latrell Spreewell
I've got the ill technique so you know me be well
We be kickin bass all up in your face
And when it comes to beats well I'm the rhythm ace
Now if you check my pulse it beats skull snaps
I keep all my rhymes in my Le Sportsac
So what if I'm a ham and cheese on rye
I got to do my thing and that's no lie
Well ice is cold and fire is hot
When it comes to competition we've got them locked
U.N.I.T.E.
A little shout to Ian and little Zoe
One can wonder why but can't deny
If we could work it out it would be so fly
We'll never know unless we try
So tell me party people what's your zodiac sign

Breakdancers of the world unite
BBoys of the world unite

I went inside the deli and my man's like what
I write the songs that make the whole world suck
I need to break it down every chance I get
So "Ssshhh we keep it raw on the set"
Automation circulation
This is for the people all around the nations
I got books with hooks and it looks like rain
Would someone on the Knicks please drive the lane
Now rhymes are montaquilla on a track by us
I've got to keep my mind clear so I don't bust
If you got bad breath then maybe try Scope
And if you wash your ass you best use soap
People of the world you realize
We got to get together and harmonize
I feel I'm comin down with the bugallo flu
Explain to me really what doctors must do, I said

Ravers of the world unite

We're the scientists of sound
We're mathematically puttin' it down
When lightning strikes best grab a ground
Got to get up to get down
I've got the Terminator style with a touch of the tweak
Technique 1200's I'm known to freak
I don't like to fight, I don't carry a piece
I wear permanent press so I'm always creased
Mike D, with the rump shakin action
Do it like this for the intergalaction
I smoke daily so I'm very flexible
I'm a Scorpio so you know I'm very sexual
Shouts to Rach and my brother Matthew
In money makin it's how we do
I be smokin roaches in the vestibule
In the next millennium I'll still be old school (Ron)
HIGH ROLLER BIG BALLER
I call em crullers but you know they're called CRAWLERS
We keep it movin to the broad day light
BGirls of the world unite alright

Keep it on and on

White Squall
by Stan Rogers

Now it's just my luck to have the watch, with nothing left to do
But watch the deadly waters glide as we roll north to the 'Soo',
And wonder when they'll turn again and pitch us to the rail
And whirl off one more youngster in the gale.

The kid was so damned eager. It was all so big and new.
You never had to tell him twice, or find him work to do.
And evenings on the mess deck he was always first to sing,
And show us pictures of the girl he'd wed in spring.

CHORUS:
But I told that kid a hundred times "Don't take the Lakes for granted.
They go from calm to a hundred knots so fast they seem enchanted."
But tonight some red-eyed Wiarton girl lies staring at the wall,
And her lover's gone into a white squall.

Now it's a thing that us oldtimers know. In a sultry summer calm
There comes a blow from nowhere, and it goes off like a bomb.
And a fifteen thousand tonner can be thrown upon her beam
While the gale takes all before it with a scream.

The kid was on the hatches, lying staring at the sky.
From where I stood I swear I could see tears fall from his eyes.
So I hadn't the heart to tell him that he should be on a line,
Even on a night so warm and fine.

CHORUS

When it struck, he sat up with a start; I roared to him, "Get down!"
But for all that he could hear, I might as well not made a sound.
So, I clung there to the stanchions, and I felt my face go pale,
As he crawled hand over hand along the rail.

I could feel her keeling over with the fury of the blow.
I watched the rail go under then, so terrible and slow.
Then, like some great dog she shook herself and roared upright again.
From overside I heard him call my name.

CHORUS

So it's just my luck to have the watch, with nothing left to do
But watch the deadly waters glide as we roll north to the 'Soo',
And wonder when they'll turn again and pitch us to the rail
And whirl off one more youngster in the gale.

But I tell these kids a hundred times "Don't take the Lakes for granted.
They go from calm to a hundred knots so fast they seem enchanted."
But tonight some red-eyed Wiarton girl lies staring at the wall,
And her lover's gone into a white squall.
