But a Whimper The clock is ticking on these terrible times and human blood is flowing dayly like whine the blood it never dries how longs a man to turn the other cheek before he rises and returns the slaughter? rises and spits in your eye where do you run to? when it's all that you know? how do you turn your back on your world? we laughed and quipped about a revolution now it's coming at the point of a gun and a suicide bomb... this is the end, my beautiful friend this is the end looks like the party's over this is the end, beautiful friend this is the end, my only friend this is the end unless we change the whole world now what we gonna do? you do to me and I do to you that's how it's gonna end with a whimper, no!

In the warriors code There's no surrender Though his body says stop His spirit cries - never! Deep in our soul A quiet ember Know it's you against you It's the paradox That drives us on It's a battle of wills In the heat of attack It's the passion that kills The victory is yours alone truely inspiring but i wouldnt say it was my favourite tune at the moment that has to be "going under" by evanessence.
"Dust in the Wind" by Kansas. The words are truth, and the sound of the song is quite possibly the most beautiful of any song that I've ever heard. And when I hear the song I think of the Highlander, and that reminds me of Tessa, and that's my daughter's name. And there are few thoughts better than my daughter. lyrics: I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind. Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind Now don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy. Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind
fave lyrics: im pushing an elephant up the stairs, im tossing up punchlines that were never there, over my shoulder a piano falls, crashing to the ground, im breaking through, im bending spoons, im keeping flowers in full bloom, im looking for answers from THE GREAT BEYOND from the song: The Great Beyond, by REM could a mod/admin move this thread to the music forum?
Thread now resides in the "Music" topic! I don't have any single favorite set of lyrics, but I do like "I Am a Rock" by Simon and Garfunkel: A winter's day In a deep and dark December I am alone Gazing from my window To the streets below On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow I am a rock I am an island I've built walls A fortress deep and mighty That none may penetrate I have no need for friendship Friendship causes pain It's laughter and it's loving I disdain. I am a rock I am an island Don't talk of love Well, I've heard the word before It's sleeping in my memory I won't disturb the slumber Of feelings that have died If I'd never loved, I never would have cried I am a rock I am an island I have my books And my poetry to protect me I am shielded in my armor Hiding in my room Safe within my womb I touch no-one and no-one touches me I am a rock I am an island And the rock feels no pain And an island never cries
Shipto: The perfect choice for this forum and a great song to listen to while exercising (Survivor, campy but classic) aikiMac: Very poignant. The chord structure revolves around C and A minor, the finger picking is the complex part. It's really hard for me to pick a fav, there are so many, how about this: (O.K. I concede, at least two good things came from Canada: Triumph and Rush ) The days grow shorter and the nights are getting long Feels like we're running out of time Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong You got to read between the lines Don't get discouraged, don't be afraid, we can Make it through another day Make it worth the price we pay The Good Book says it's better to give than to receive I do my best to do my part Nothin' in my pockets I got nothin' up my sleeve I keep my magic in my heart Keep up your spirit, keep up your faith, baby I am counting on you You know what you've got to do CHORUS: Fight the good fight every moment Every minute every day Fight the good fight every moment It's your only way All your life you've been waiting for your chance Where you'll fit into the plan But you're the master of your own destiny So give and take the best that you can You think a little more money will buy your soul some rest You'd better think of something else instead You're so afraid of being honest with yourself You'd better take a look inside your head Nothing is easy, nothing good is free But I can tell you where to start Take a look inside your heart There's an answer in your heart
Or they could have covered it about 20 years after the Stones created the original. Who knows what could be the case in this crazy mixed up world? (its a cover btw)
I like the REM great beyond lyrics as well Here's my one, they aren't everyones cup of tea but i love the lyrics to this song. The Streets (A Grand don't come for free) - Dry your eyes In one single moment your whole life can turn 'round I stand there for a minute starin' straight into the ground Lookin' to the left slightly, then lookin' back down World feels like it's caved in - proper sorry frown Please let me show you where we could only just be, for us I can change and I can grow or we could adjust The wicked thing about us is we always have trust We can even have an open relationship, if you must I look at her she stares almost straight back at me But her eyes glaze over like she's lookin' straight through me Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity When they open up she's lookin' down at her feet Dry your eyes mate I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up There's plenty more fish in the sea Dry your eyes mate I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts But you've got to walk away now It's over So then I move my hand up from down by my side It's shakin', my life is crashin' before my eyes Turn the palm of my hand up to face the skies Touch the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh 'Cause I can't imagine my life without you and me There's things I can't imagine doin', things I can't imagine seein' It weren't supposed to be easy, surely Please, please, I beg you please She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested She wraps her fingers round mine with the softness she's blessed with She peels away my fingers, looks at me and then gestures By pushin' my hand away to my chest, from hers Dry your eyes mate I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up There's plenty more fish in the sea Dry your eyes mate I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts But you've got to walk away now It's over And I'm just standin' there, I can't say a word 'Cause everythin's just gone I've got nothin' Absolutely nothin' Tryin' to pull her close out of bare desperation Put my arms around her tryin' to change what she's sayin' Pull my head level with hers so she might engage in Look into her eyes to make her listen again I'm not gonna <oops> leave it all now 'Cause you said it'd be forever and that was your vow And you're gonna let our things simply crash and fall down You're well out of order now, this is well out of town She pulls away, my arms are tightly clamped round her waist Gently pushes me back and she looks at me straight Turns around so she's now got her back to my face Takes one step forward, looks back, and then walks away Dry your eyes mate I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up There's plenty more fish in the sea Dry your eyes mate I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts But you've got to walk away now It's over I know in the past I've found it hard to say Tellin' you things, but not tellin' straight But the more I pull on your hand and say The more you pull away Dry your eyes mate I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up There's plenty more fish in the sea Dry your eyes mate I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts But you've got to walk away now.
"And you, is it movement or is it action? Is is contact or just reaction? And you, revolution or just resistance? Is it living or just existance? Yes You! It takes a little more persistence to get up and go the distance". Rush Or "Justice is the one thing you should always find. You got to saddle up your boys. You've got to draw a hard line When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune and we'll all meet back at the local saloon. We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces singing whiskey for my men and beer for my horses" Toby Keith & Willie Nelson ________________ SecurityAdvisor
I like this song. The End Of All Things To Come All over with... <oops> all the flags, the greed, the world leaders. Run for the fence. We're coming, we're killing, we're changing the faces. Believe in yourself! Let go of ego, strengthen within yourself. All over with! We're coming, we're killing, we're changing the faces. I'm killing every <oops> thing Until somebody gets the <oops> point, the point I'm trying to make. I lead the mice on parade down to the river of kool aid and open up the flood gates. I need a barrel of cyanide; a pile of strychnine Until the whole damned world is dead, start over again! All over with... <oops> all the flags, the greed, the world leaders. Run for the fence. We're coming, we're killing, we're changing the faces. Stop talking, negotiating... Your feeble attempts towards world peace, give me a <oops> break. Need world-wide genocide, planetary suicide! And when the whole damn world is dead, there's your <oops> peace! All over with... <oops> all the flags, the greed, the world leaders. Run for the fence. We're coming, we're killing, we're changing the faces. Believe in yourself! Let go of ego, strengthen within yourself. All over with! We're coming, we're killing, we're changing the faces. Oxygen wasters, come on! We've come to save you... to save you from yourselves. Kill or be killed. All over with... <oops> all the flags, the greed, the world leaders. Run for the fence. We're coming, we're killing, we're changing the faces. Believe in yourself! Let go of ego, strengthen within yourself. All over with! We're coming, we're killing, we're changing the faces.
Yes, but let the rest of us know who it's by Grifter. Thanks man. Nice meeting you in chat by the way.
Hyrpocrisy - War Within When you were born, that's when I died, it took too long to realize I am the white, you are the black, and I'm slowly turning grey Like a disease you break me down and silence my cries You're the king, I'm the fool I'm your eternal prey. [CHORUS:] Die! let me regain control Die! Let me reign in my own soul Die! Let my life return Die! I'd do anything to see you burn!! What I create you desecrate, Fuelled by endless hate How can I win this war, this war against myself? You're the king, I'm the fool [CHORUS.] If I decide, it's suicide that will be my final move How will know that you won't follow to the other sky? You tricked my mind, you made me blind, but finally I can see There's no escape. Cerebral rape, you are my destiny. You turn me on; you turn me off, like I'm a <oops> machine You tuck me in; you throw me out, now all my thoughts are obscene [CHORUS.]
I Am Stretched On Your Grave - Sad but beautiful This is one of my all time favorites. I Am Stretched On Your Grave - Dead Can Dance I am stretched on your grave And will lie there forever With your hands held in mine I’d be sure we’d not sever My apple tree my brightness ’tis time we were together For I smell of the earth And am stained by the weather When my family thinks That I’m safe in my bed From night until morning I am stretched at your head Calling out to the air With tears both hot and wild Oh I grieve for the girl That I loved as a child The priests and the friars Behold me in dread Because I still love you My love and you’re dead I would still be your shelter From rain and from storm And with you in your cold grave I cannot sleep warm
