Blood and Thunder from Leviathan
This song is about Moby d*ck (The focus of the album was Legendary creatures). The interlude of two verses is the man trying to capture him.
Blood & Thunder
I think that someone is trying to kill me Infecting my blood and destroying my mind No man of the flesh could ever stop me The fight for this fish is a fight to the death
White whale - holy grail
What remorseless emperor commands me I no longer govern my soul I am completely immersed in darkness As I turn my body away from the sun
White whale - holy grail
Split your lungs with blood and thunder When you see the white whale Break your backs and crack your oars men If you wish to prevail
This ivory leg is what propels me Harpoons thrust in the sky Aim directly for his crooked brow And look him straight in the eye
White whale - holy grail

Good choice, Slatu. Very intense, kinda poetic in a different way. Tori Amos's new cd is very original - she's created five different personalities (Tori, Santa, Clyde, Pip and Isabel - all named for Greek or Roman goddesses) and each of them have their own blog and look. It's very interesting. Anyway, the lyrics are completely like Tori a more than a little strange, but here are some that I like: Digital Ghost - Tori Amos (as Tori) It started as a joke Just one of my larks to see If somehow I could reach you So I swam into your shores Through an open window Only to find you all alone Curled up with machines Now it seems you're slipping Out of the land of the living Just take a closer look Take a closer look At what it is that's really haunting you I have to trust you'll know This digital ghost But I fear there's only so much time 'cause the you I knew is fading away Hands lay them on my keys Let me play you again I am not immune to your net Find me there in it I won't go even if in Your heart only beats ones and O's Switch you on, my friend Pull you from that rip current But only you can fight against this Take a closer look Just take a closer look At what it is that's really haunting you I have to trust you'll know This digital ghost But I fear there's only so much time 'cause the you I knew is fading away Girl Disappearing - Tori Amos (as Clyde) Riding on backs of palominos Primed for an attack It's as good As good as it gets With girl disappearing What on earth's occurring? 'cause she's right in front of me A girl disappearing To some secret prison Behind her eyes she whispers "Big surprise there was No protection by this urban light So I'm running to A constellation Where they can still see you" Envy can spread Herself so thinly She slipped in Before I could notice it In my own war Blood in the cherry zone When they Pit woman against feminist I recommend the cd, it's very beautiful.

Here's one! It's a gorgeous song, and I just mentioned that in the "What are you listening to?" thread.
"Rain" by Breaking Benjamin
"Rain"
Take a photograph, It'll be the last, Not a dollar or a crowd could ever keep me here,
I don't have a past I just have a chance, Not a family or honest plea remains to say,
Rain rain go away, Come again another day, All the world is waiting for the sun.
Is it you I want, Or just the notion Of a heart to wrap around so I can find my way around
Safe to say from here, You're getting closer now, We are never sad cause we are not allowed to be
Rain rain go away, Come again another day, All the world is waiting for the sun.
Rain rain go away, Come again another day, All the world is waiting for the sun.
To lie here under you, Is all that I could ever do, To lie here under you is all, To lie here under you is all that i could ever do, To lie here under you is all,
Rain rain go away, Come again another day, All the world is waiting for the sun.
Rain rain go away, Come again another day, All the world is waiting for the sun, All the world is waiting for the sun, All the world is waiting for the sun.

--invades with Techno--
World Hold On - Bob Sinclar
Oh yeah, yeah… Open up your heart, what do you feel Open up your heart, what do you feel… is real
The big bang may be a million years away But I can’t think of a better time to say
World, hold on Instead of messing with our future, open up inside World, hold on Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky
World, hold on Instead of messing with our future Tell me no more lies World, hold on Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky
Children of the sky… Children of the sky…
Look inside, you’ll find a deeper love The kind that only comes from high above
Lyrics If you ever meet your inner child, don’t cry Tell them everything is gonna be alright
World, hold on Instead of messing with our future, open up inside World, hold on Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky
World, hold on Come one, everybody in the universe, come on World, hold on Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky
Children of the sky… alright Open up your heart Tell me, how do you feel
Listen now, tell them everything, right here right now Alright, everybody, here in the world You are all the children, alright
Together now, unite, and fight… oooh Open up you heart, no, peace, love for everyone
Oh, no no no no no, alright, to the four corners of the world Sing it loud, sing it loud, sing it loud loud loud world hold on on
sing it loud, sing it proud everybody, yeah yeah yeah yeah, oooh Don’t take no for an answer, no no, not today
Right here,spread love, everybody join together now One [race], one heart, love and unity, everybody sing yeah!
World, hold on Come one, everybody in the universe, come on World, hold on Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky
World, hold on Come one, everybody in the universe, come on World, hold on Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky
(Personally, I absolutely adore those lyrics. Vivid imagery and inspiration comes to mind every time I play that song.)
also...
Kiss the Sky - Danielle Bollinger
Emotion holds me captive and it keeps me from the truth No I don't know how I got here but I know I'm missing you
And I know the day is coming when I'll be back inside your arms but as much as I believe it that day seems so far
so I kiss the sky tonight and pretend I'm by your side and in the dark I'll feel the light I'll be loved, I'll be loved, I'll be loved, I kiss the sky
Everytime the wind blows I hear it call your name and even in the darkness I can see your face. Every second brings my freedom much closer into view. So the ocean will not hold me and I'll be one with you.
So I kiss the sky tonight and pretend I'm by your side and in the dark I'll feel the light I'll be loved, I'll be loved, I'll be loved
I kiss the sky
(Once again, epic lyrics due to the implied imagery.)

Ah... rain by Breaking Benjamin. Very different to thier other stuff. Is it still the feature song on thier site? Must reaquire their stuff...
Hmm... had a little think, and remembered this one (another Mastodon contribution);
Sleeping Giant Another leviathan, this one; a revenant giant.
Earth has burst Mountain flames Moon beheld Father snake Mind control Has left its nest Shame on Bulls roar loud The fearless fall Wooden vessel Broken wings Caught my killer In my grave Shame on Eyes of grace Kill again Trapped in maze Trembling fear Head scorched brow Perish the land Shame on A vast calm wilderness The call to adventure comes Lead and land atop this rock Infinite path carved with unrivaled skill
Arise This ones by Sepultura. Very... nasty song
Obscured by the sun Apocalyptic clash Cities fall in ruin Why must we die?
Obliteration of mankind Under a pale grey sky We shall arise...
I did nothing, saw nothing Terrorist confrontation Waiting for the end Wartime conspiracy
I see the world - old I see the world - dead
Victims of war, seeking some salvation Last wish, fatality I've no land, I'm from nowhere Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Face the enemy Maniac thoughts Religious intervention Problems remain
Pulse of the Maggots Greatest anarchy song of all time! First verse is spoken, the rest is 'sung'.
This is the year where hope fails you The test subjects run the experiments And the B*st*rd you know, is the hero you hate But cohesing is possible if we strive Theres no reason, theres no lesson No time like the present, tell me right now What have you got to lose, what have you got to lose Except your soul... Who's with us?!
I fight for the unconventional My right, and its unconditional I can only, be as real as i can The disadvantage is I never knew the plan This isnt just the way to be a murderer I cant, walk alone any longer I fight, for the ones who cant fight And if I lose, at least I tried
We-we are the new diabolic We-we are the bitter bucolic If I have to give my life you can have it We-we are the pulse of the maggots
I won't-be the inconsequential I won't-be the wasted potential I can make it-as severe as I can Until you realize You'll never take a stand It isn't, just a one-sided invasion We've dealt, with a manic subversion I won't, let the truth be perverted And I won't leave another victim deserted
We-we are the new diabolic We-we are the bitter bucolic If I have to give my life you can have it We-we are the pulse of the maggots
Do you understand? (yes)(x4)
Say it again say it again (we won't die) (x8)
We fight until no one can fight us We live, and no one can stop us We pull when we're pushed too far And the advantages is The bottom line is We never, had to fight in the first place We only, had to spit back at their face We won't, walk alone any longer What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger
We-we are the new diabolic We-we are the bitter bucolic If I have to give my life you can have it We-we are the pulse of the maggots
Do you understand (yes)(x4)
Say it again say it again (we won't die)(x4)

Ark, have you ever heard anything by Air or Goldfrapp? Or, actually, Bitter:Sweet? You might like some of them. Not exactly techno, more electronica I guess. I'm not really sure. Anyhow, they're fantastic This is one of my absolute favorite songs - written by and originally performed by Leonard Cohen; I now have 26 versions of it on my computer. My favorite is, by far, Rufus Wainwright's - but they're all fabulous. There's different versions of lyric placement, but this is how Leonard sings it in the version I have... Hallelujah - Leonard CohenNow, I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care about music, do you? It goes like this, The fourth, The fifth The minor fall, The major lift, The baffled king composing halleujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Your faith was strong, but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight over threw you She tied you to a kitchen chair, She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your she drew a halleujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah You say I took the name in vain I don't even know the name But if I did, well really, what's it to you? There's a blaze of light in every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah I did my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I learned to touch I've told the truth; I didn't come to fool you And even though it all went wrong I'll stand right here before the lord of song With nothing on my tongue but 'Hallelujah' Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
