What about the great gothic band the crüxshadows?

Here's a song, that is a part of me since I've heard the first time, what is now a couple of years ago... :o)


winterborn
dry your eyes
and quietly bear this pain with pride,
for heaven shall remember the silent and the brave.
and promise me, they will never see
the fear within our eyes. (my eyes are closed)
for we will give strength to those who still remain.

so bury fear, while fate draws near
and hide the signs of pain.
with noble acts
the bravest souls endure,
the heart’s remains.
discard regret,
that in this debt
a better world is made
and children of a newer day might remember
and avoid our fate.

I waited all day in the pouring rain,
but nobody came,
no nobody came.
(Prepare for battle)

and in the fury of this darkest hour
we will be your light
you've asked me for my sacrifice
and I am winterborn
without denying, a faith is come
that I have never known
I hear the angels call my name
and I am winterborn

hold your head up high
for there is no greater love
think of the faces of the people you defend
and promise me, they will never see
the tears within our eyes (My eyes are closed)
although we are men with mortal sins,
angels never cry

so bury fear for fate draws near
and hide the signs of pain
with noble acts, the bravest souls
endure the heart's remains
discard regret,
that in this debt
a better world is made
that children of a newer day might remember, and avoid our fate.

(prepare for battle)
and in the fury of this darkest hour
we will be your light
you've asked me for my sacrifice
and I am Winter born
without denying, a faith in God
that I have never known
I hear the angels call my name
and I am winterborn

and in the fury of this darkest hour
I will be your light
a lifetime for this destiny
for I am winterborn

and in this moment...
I will not run, it is my place to stand
we few shall carry hope
within our bloodied hands

and in our Dying
we're more alive- than we have ever been
I've lived for these few seconds
for I am winterborn

and in the fury of this darkest hour
we will be the light
you've asked me for my sacrifice
and I am Winter born
without denying, a faith in man
that I have never known
I hear the angels call my name
and I am winterborn

within this moment
I am for you,
though better men have failed
I will give my life for love
for I am winterborn

I thought of this Flaming Lips song when I recently heard Jospeh Campbell compare 'The System' to a machine.

Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Lyrics


Her name is Yoshimi
she's a black belt in karate
working for the city
she has to discipline her body

'Cause she knows that
it's demanding
to defeat those evil machines
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me

Those evil-natured robots
they're programmed to destroy us
she's gotta be strong to fight them
so she's taking lots of vitamins

'Cause she knows that
it'd be tragic
if those evil robots win
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me

Yoshimi

'Cause she knows that
it'd be tragic
if those evil robots win
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me

Yoshimi

Something For Kate
Monsters Lyrics

I was hanging upside down from the overpass
Waiting to discover something about the world
I couldn't get with the program
And I couldn't listen to them
It was like trying to think in reverse
And I don't want to slide into apathy
And I don't want to die in captivity
But these monsters follow me around
Hunting me down, trying to wipe me out

Wipe me out
Wipe me out
Wipe me out

I was hiding away under water
Waiting for distance and buying some time
Trying to be two hundred thousand years younger
So I could excuse myself from humankind
'Cause I don't want to be a container
Or a bastard with a ten page disclaimer
But these monsters spin me around
Get me down, just try and shut me out

Shut me out
Shut me out
Shut me out

Hold it in your head
Hold it in your head
Hold it in your head

Believe and make believe and make believe

(Shut me out) I was hiding away under water
(Shut me out) Waiting for distance, waiting for time
(Shut me out) And I don't want to slide into apathy
(Shut me out) And I don't want to live in captivity

Nunc Stans by cynic




Hey comrade
What will it be like on the day we face our mortal life
We’re all given the misfortune of loss
But that’s a gift we call impermanence

We don’t own our work
We don’t own the earth at all

We’re eternal nunc stans soldiers
The eternal warriors

We’re accountants in the firm of life
Entrusted with a body, heart and mind
Hey comrade, did I love well?
Have I learned to live moment to moment?

We don’t own out work
We don’t own the earth
We don’t own our minds
We don’t own anything at all

We’re eternal nunc stans soldiers
The eternal warriors

It was not death
It was not life
It was love

Been meaning to post this, I have about a dozen songs I want to post so much I want to accomplish... priorities I guess.... ;)

Nickleback - If Today Was Your Last Day

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had, if today was your last day?
What if, what if, if today was your last day?

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the price is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you're never living twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?

And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are

So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothing stand in your way
'Cause the hands of time are never on your side

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?

And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?

On walk-about...

Sith ain't Evil...
Jedi ain't Saints....

'You've sure got a lot of weird music on here, girly-girl.' Kendalina complained as she played with Jack's mp3 player. Jack rolled her eyes as she dressed for work.

"Variety is what helps us appreciate what we have." Jack responded, even as Kendalina groused that that wasn't how the saying went.

'Ooh, now here's an interesting little bit of lost pop culture.' Kendalina pressed play, and, given that Kendalina was a bit of Jack's imagination, Jack listened to it, as well.

Perfect Symmetry by Keane

I shake through the wreckage for signs of life
Scrolling through the paragraphs
Clicking through the photographs

I wish I could make sense of what we do
Burning down the capitals
The wisest of the animals

Who are you? What are you living for?
Tooth for tooth, maybe we'll go one more

This life, is lived in perfect symmetry
What I do, that will be done to me

Read page after page of analysis
Looking for the final score
We're no closer than we were before

Who are you? What are you fighting for?
Holy truth? Brother I choose this mortal life

Lived in perfect symmetry
What I do, that will be done to me
As the needle slips into the run-out groove
Love - maybe you'll feel it too

And maybe you'll find life is unkind
And over so soon
There is no golden gate
There's no heaven waiting for you

Oh boy you ought to leave this town
Get out while you can the meter's running down
The voices in the streets you love
Everything is better when you hear that sound
Woooaohhh
Woooaohhh
Woooaohhh

Spineless dreamers hide in churches
Pieces of pieces of rush hour buses
I dream in emails, worn-out phrases
Mile after mile of just empty pages

Wrap yourself around me
Wrap yourself around me
As the needle slips into the run-out groove
Maybe I'll feel it too
Maybe you'll feel it too
Maybe you'll feel it too
Maybe you'll feel it too

I dream in emails, worn out phrases
Mile after mile of just empty pages

'Seems more like a personal anthem for a single Jedi, though -- not like some kind of religious song or Christian rock kind of thing.' Kendalina pointed out. Jack scowled.

"You have a better idea?"

Kendalina grinned and scrolled to another song.

Nothing is Real By The Goo Goo Dolls

Hey anybody in this world
Can you talk to me awhile
Find a reason for it all
'Cause I keep looking backwards
To a place I've never been
To a home that never was
It's like I'm losing it again
And it takes so long to say these words
Can you wait that long for me

Hey nothing is real
It's all what you believe
Something you dream inside your head
You know how I feel
Because it's just you and me
Something I need to call my own
To feel and call my own

Dark inside this empty room
And I'm waiting for the sun
To come to me
Someday I'm gonna get this right
Gonna find a better way
Wanna lead another life
I wanted to let you know me
But I'm trapped inside the fear
And I never said a word
Though you always seemed to hear
When I take so long
To say these words
Yeah you wait so long for me

Hey nothing is real
It's all what you believe
Something you dream inside your head
You know how I feel
Because it's just you and me
Something I need to call my own
To feel and call my own
