one more by him

And I stood arrow straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my dreams

 

[unreal.freak]

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

What I got
You gotta get it
Put it in you

Dealin with the feelin
Don't stop

They cut a good bit out. That only means one thing to me. The dvd is on the way.

Wow, it seems so much more pitiful when he sings it, (as opposed to me singing it at a bar with 10 of my closest drunk friends! or drunkest close friends?)

These are some lyrics from memory and I may not have these quite right, but they should be close.

All from Genesis (with Peter Gabriel)

From Foxtrot

Watcher of the skies, watcher of all, this is your fate, your fate is your own

This is a message from Genetic Control it is my sad duty to inform you ever forth of the restriction on humanoid height…They say now that people will be shorter in height they can fit twice as many in the same building site, they say it’s alright…

From Foxtrot – Supper’s Ready

…we got some ins we got some outs, we got a lot of things flying about…the frog was a prince, the prince was an egg, the egg was a bird, fly away my sweet little things, haven’t you heard, there’s Winston Churchill dressed in drag, used to be a British flag, plastic bag, what a drag….

…and the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll, gonna blow right down your soul, there’s Pythagorus with the looking glass, its such a full moon, and he’ll be writing the lyrics to a brand new tune

From A Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

…and I feel like a fly, waiting for the windshield on a freeway…

...there’s Marshal McLuhan, casual viewing, dancing with the majorettes smoking Winston cigarettes

…Lilllywhite Lilith, she gonna take you through the tunnel of light, Lilywhite Lilith she gonna treat you right

……there are sloberdegoblins with squeaky feet, continually embracing, each orifice disgracing and I slouch with my pouch hung very low…

From Selling England by the Pound

Can you tell me where my country lies, said the uniform to his true love’s eyes, it lies with me cried the Queen of Maybe, for her merchandise he traded in his prize.

 

[j_garcia]

"I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad..."

"Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be"

"covered in hope and vaseline
still cannot fix this broken machine
watching the hole it used to be mine
just watching it burn in my steady systematic decline
of the trust i will betray
give it to me i throw it away
after everything i've done i hate myself for what i've become"

Thrice - Stand and Feel Your Worth.

Wake, stand and feel your worth, o my soul
Kneel and know the word that can save us all
Come to die

We are fuel and fire both, we are water
wed with wine and ghost

We are wrought with breath and dirt, washed in second sight
Woven through the earth, wreathed in rings of light
We will wield a second birth, whet our wits and knives
Wrap our knees in earth, wrap ourselves in light

Wake, we will weigh and drink this cup, we will burn
But we will not burn up

Wake, feel your worth, o my soul
speak the word, the word that can save us all
Awed by grace, I fall on my face
And scream the word that can save us all

Video to put it into context.

I'll be adding to this thread as I go through my music.

Protest The Hero - Bloodmeat.

Enemies of Khanate strung on hooks like pigs to slaughter
Heads will roll
Heads will roll, throats will be slit and blood will flow like springs of water
Heads will roll
To the River Red, across the ochre steppe
A thousand fathers killed, a thousand virgin daughters spread with swords still wet, with swords still wet with the blood of their dead
Nurjan is upon us, he kills in silence after prayers
Genghis Khan is upon us, and he slays his betrayers
Thus now the fools of God will guard the city of our birth
Hold an ear to the ground
To hear the sound
Clamoring and horses stammering as their gallop meets the earth
Tomorrow
Tomorrow they will find us
Hide the children free of sin
We will meet their blades by morning
Protected only by our skin
Tomorrow we will find them
Seek the youngest of their kin
And we will meet them with our fury
And we will crush them all like vermin, kill
And we will crush them all like vermin

Protest The Hero - Sequoia Throne.

Did you come here to kill, or did you come here to die?
And did you really think that spaceships would descend from the sky?

Bending light and beaming forth across space-time
Still scared in the reflection of our oil black eyes
Who stalks us like a predator
Like our movies imply

They're not the ones who've come to kill us
Come to fill us full of lead
They're not the ones who hate us
And they are not the ones who mutilate our animals

Or travel to the stars; they’re not the ones who cause us harm (We Are)

We are! We are! We are!
We are still 'live and cold-blooded
We feel nothing! / We will not be!
We are still 'live and cold-blooded
We feel nothing! / We will not be!

Hellbent on heaven(X4)

While our righteous men are stuffing corpses full of **** and faith!
Aaaaahhhhhh...

We are, we are, we are still 'live
We are, we are, we are still 'live
We are, we are, we are
Still alive!

They're not the ones who cause us harm
We are, we are
(did you come here to kill? Did you come here to die?)
We are still 'live and cold blood
We are still 'live and cold blood
We feel...
We feel...nothing!

Stuffing corpses full of **** and faith
As they bloviate about a future beyond the moon
To bring about another planet's doom
To discover peaceful lives
And beat a war-drum to it's tune
Unless my prayers are answered...
Our end is coming...soon!

You listen to some sickeningly sweet music there, Sheep. Try something with a little more grit to it.

Death Cab For Cutie - What Sarah Said.

And it came to me then
That every plan is a tiny prayer to Father Time
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU
That reeked of piss and 409
And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself
That I'd already taken too much today
As each descending peak on the LCD
Took you a little farther away from me
Away from me

Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines
In a place where we only say goodbye
It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend
On a faulty camera in our minds
But I knew that you were a truth
I would rather lose than to have never lain beside at all
And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground
As the TV entertained itself

'Cause there's no comfort in the waiting room
Just nervous paces bracing for bad news
Then the nurse comes around and everyone lifts their head
But I'm thinking of what Sarah said
That love is watching someone die

So who's going to watch you die
So who's going to watch you die
So who's going to watch you die

Best video I could find that didn't have anime in it.

More grit? I don't think you guys are ready for it.

Speaking only for myself, I believe you.

I've seen, heard, read, and written some pretty messed up stuff in my day. That said, I still wince at the thought of what you'd post.

Another Foxtrot album fan here:

Wandering in the chaos the battle has left,
We climb up the mountain of human flesh,
To a plateau of green grass, and green trees full of life.
A young figure sits still by her pool,
He's been stamped "Human Bacon" by some butchery tool.
(He is you)
Social Security took care of this lad.
We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flower.
A flower?

And: The Lamb

The fleas cling to the golden fleece,
Hoping they'll find peace.
Each thought and gesture are caught in celluloid.
There's no hiding in my memory.
There's no room to avoid.

 

[Gatsby191]

this verse in paticular:

There's a young man in a t-shirt
just Listenin' to a rockin' roll station.
He's got greasy hair, an a greasy smile
and says, "Lord this must be my destination."

'Cause they told me when I was younger
sayin "Boy you're gonna be president."
But just like everything else those old crazy dreams
Just kinda came and went...

I can't believe no RUSH yet...

some are born to rule the world to live their fantasy
but most of us just dream about the things we'd like to be
sadder still to watch it die then never to have known it
for you the blind who once could see
the bell tolls for thee
the bell tolls for
