Hani Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Tool - 10,000 Days Listen to the tales and romanticize,How we'd follow the path of the hero. Boast about the day when the rivers overrun. How we rise to the height of our halo. Listen to the tales as we all rationalize Our way into the arms of the savior, Feigning all the trials and the tribulations; None of us have actually been there. Not like you. Ignorant siblings in the congregation Gather around spewing sympathy, Spare me. None of them can even hold a candle up to you. Blinded by choice, these hypocrites won't see. But, enough about the collective Judas. Who could deny you were the one who Illuminated your little piece of the divine? And this little light of mine, a gift you passed on to me; I'm gonna let it shine to guide you safely on your way, Your way home ... Oh, what are they going to do when the lights go down Without you to guide them all to Zion? What are they going to do when the rivers overrun Other than tremble incessantly? High is the way, but all eyes are upon the ground. You were the light and the way they'll only read about. I only pray, Heaven knows when to lift you out. Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough; You're going home. You're the only one who can hold your head up high, Shake your fists at the gates saying: "I've come home now! Fetch me the spirit, the son, and the father. Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended. It's time now! My time now! Give me my, give me my wings!" You are the light and way that they will only read about. Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance, (With the) burden of proof tossed upon the believers. You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence, Judith Marie, unconditional one. Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescents. Difficult to see you in this light. Please forgive this bold suggestion, but Should you see your Maker's face tonight, Look Him in the eye, look Him in the eye, and tell Him: "I never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved one. Hallelujah, it's time for you to bring me home." Pink Floyd - Echoes Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the airAnd deep beneath the rolling waves In labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant tide Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine. And no-one called us to the land And no-one knows the wheres or whys But something stirs and something tries And starts to climb towards the light Strangers passing in the street By chance two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me And do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand the best I can And no-one calls us to move on And no-one forces down our eyes And no-one speaks and no-one tries And no-one flies around the sun Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes inviting and inciting me to rise And through the window in the wall Come streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning And no-one sings me lullabies And no-one makes me close my eyes And so I throw the windows wide And call to you across the sky Radiohead - Street Spirit (Fade Out) Rows of houses, all bearing down on me I can feel their blue hands touching me All these things into position All these things we'll one day swallow whole And fade out again and fade out This machine will, will not communicate These thoughts and the strain I am under Be a world child, form a circle Before we all go under And fade out again and fade out again Cracked eggs, dead birds Scream as they fight for life I can feel death, can see its beady eyes All these things into position All these things we'll one day swallow whole And fade out again and fade out again Immerse your soul in love Immerse your soul in love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrossa Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Stabat Mater Dolorosa, Jacopone da Todi 1. At the cross her station keeping, stood the mournful mother weeping, close to Jesus to the last 2. Through her heart, his sorrow sharing, all his bitter anguish bearing, now at length the sword had passed. 3. Oh how sad and sore distressed was that mother highly blessed, of the sole-begotten One! 4. Christ above in torment hangs; she beneath beholds the pangs of her dying glorious Son. 5. Is there one who would not weep, whelmed in miseries so deep Christ's dear Mother to behold? 6. Can the human heart refrain from partaking in her pain, in that Mother's pain untold? 7. For the sins of His own nation saw Him hang in desolation, all with bloody scourges rent. 8. Bruised, derided, cursed, defiled, she beheld her tender child, till His Spirit forth he sent. 9. O, thou Mother, fount of love, touch my spirit from above, make my heart with thine accord. 10. Make me feel as thou has felt; make my soul to glow and melt with the love of Christ our Lord. 11. Holy Mother, pierce me through; in my heart each wound renew of my Saviour crucified. 12. Let met share with thee his pain, who for all my sins was slain, who for me in torments died. 13. Let me mingle tears with thee, mourning Him Who mourned for me, all the days that I may live. 14. By the cross with thee to stay, there with thee to weep and pray, this I ask of thee to give. 15. Virgin, of all virgins blest, O refuse not my request: let me in thy weeping share 16. Let me, to my latest breath, in my body bear the death of that dying Son of thine. 17. Wounded with his every wound, steep my soul till it hath swooned in His very blood away. 18. Be to me, O Virgin, nigh, lest in flames I burn and die, in that awful judgment day. 19. Christ, when thou shalt call me hence, be Thy mother my defense, be Thy cross my victory. 20. While my body here decays, may my soul Thy goodness praise, safe in Paradise with Thee. Amen.

Guest Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Quite enjoying the lyrics behind Massive Attack's Paradise Circus: I perfer the though.It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm We can roll ourselves over 'cause we're uncomfortable Oh where the devil makes us sin But we like it when we're spinning in his grip. It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm We can roll ourselves over when we're uncomfortable Oh well the devil makes us sin But we like it when we're spinning in his grip. Love is like a sin my love For the one that feels it the most Look at her with a smile like a flame She will love you like a fly will never love you, again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obiwong Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 我會學著放棄你 (I will learn to give you up) 是因為我太愛你 (Because I love you so much) Jay Chow - 安靜 Started with a perfect kiss then we could feel the poison set in Perfect couldn't keep this love alive You know that I love you so, I love you enough to let you go I want you to know that it doesn't matter Where we take this road someone's gotta go And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better But I want you to move on so I'm already gone Kelly Clarkson - Already Gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted April 21, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted April 21, 2010 Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence. Words like violence Break the silence Come crashing in Into my little world Painful to me Pierce right through me Can't you understand Oh my little girl All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm Vows are spoken To be broken Feelings are intense Words are trivial Pleasures remain So does the pain Words are meaningless And forgettable All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm Enjoy the silence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
