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 air

And 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

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.

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

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

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
