Ah Hell... / Am I Demon - Danzig
Ah hell...my friend got in a car accident today...
It was the other guy's fault apparently, so he gets some money from that guy's insurance. My friend's car, however, is totaled. Plus, my other friend who was sitting right where the car got hit has a broken collar bone. This freakin' sucks!

[Lyrics: Glenn Danzig]

Hordes of faces
Empty eyes
I see nothing new
Seasoned schemes of slimy curs
Offer up their flu
Am I beast or
Am I human
Am I just like you
Power seething
Really reeling
Reaching out for you

Am I demon
You need to know

Faces of a million hells
Rage inside these veins
Pounding out desrved pain
To anyone in need
Am I beast or
Am I human
Am I just like you
Power seething
Really reeling
Reaching out for you
Am I demon
Need to know

??
Wo-oh, wo-oh

Am I demon
Need to know
??
Wo-oh, wo-oh

Every world
And every limb
Torn asunder base
Everything I need is me
Everything I am
Am I beast or
Am I human
Am I just like you
Power seething
Really reeling
Reaching out for you

Am I demon
You need to know
??
Wo-oh, wo-oh

Am I demon
Need to know

The Curse of Fëanor - Blind Guardian
Hey, I'm actually putting a song from the band on my background. It's even from the same album! If you ever read The Silmarillion this will mean a little more to you...

Taken the long way
Dark realms I went through
I arrived
My vision's so clear
In anger and pain
I left deep wounds behind
But I arrived
Truth might be changed by victory

Beyond the void but deep within me
A swamp of filth exists
A lake it was of crystal beauty
But Arda's spring went by
I've heard the warning
Well curse my name
I'll keep on laughing
No regret
No regret

[chorus (1):]
Don't fear the eyes of the dark lord
Morgoth I cried
All hope is gone but I swear revenge
Hear my oath
I will take part in your damned fate

I will always remember their cries
Like a shadow which covers the light
I will always remember the time
But it's past
I cannot turn back the time
(I) don't look back
There's still smoke near the shore
But I arrived
Revenge be mine

[chorus (2):]
I will take part in your damned fate
Morgoth I cried
It's my oath
So don't fear the eyes
Of the dark lord

Soon you will be free
Set your spirit free
"Suddenly I realized
The prophecies
I've never believed in
My deeds were wrong
I've stained the land
And slain my kin
(Burning Soul)
There's no release from my sins
It hurts
THE CURSE OF FﾋANOR RUNS LONG
Time and only time will tell us
Tell: was I right or wrong?
When anger breaks through
I'll leave mercy behind"

[chorus (2)]

I will always remember their cries
Like a shadow they'll cover my life
But I'll also remember mine
(And) after all I'm still alive

Snowblind - Black Sabbath
Something new today...Black Sabbath! This one is off of Volume 4 and System of a Down did a cover of it. I like this version better...

What you get and what you see
Things that don't come easily
Feeling happy in my vein
Icicles within my brain
(cocain)

Something blowing in my head
Winter's ice, it soon will spread
Death would freeze my very soul
Makes me happy, makes me cold

My eyes are blind but I can see
The snowflakes glisten on the tree
The sun no longer sets me free
I feel there's no place freezing me

Let the winter sun shine on
Let me feel the frost of dawn
Fill my dreams with flakes of snow
Soon I'll feel the chilling glow

Don't you think I know what I'm doing
Don't tell me that it's doing me wrong
You're the one who's really a loser
This is where I feel I belong

Crystal world with winter flowers
Turns my day to frozen hours
Lying snowblind in the sun
Will my ice age ever come?

Ghost of the Navigator - Iron Maiden
It's another Iron Maiden song today. This one is from Brave New World.

[Gers, Dickinson, Harris]

I have sailed to many lands, now I make my final journey
On the bow I stand, west is where I go
Through the night I plough, still my heart, calculate and pray
As the compass swings, my will is strong, I will not be led astray
Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun
But I know, but I know, but I know

I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost
As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost
As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea
The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me

Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by the waves
Nowhere left to run, navigator's son,
Chasing rainbows all my days

Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been
Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so,
Nothing's real until you feel

I steer between the crashing rocks, the sirens call my name
Lash my hands onto the helm, blood surging with the strain
I will not fail now as sunrise comes the darkness left behind
For eternity I follow on there is no other way
Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun
But I know, I know

I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost
As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost
As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea
The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me

Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by the waves
Nowhere left to run, Navigator's son
Chasing rainbows all my days

Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been
Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so
Nothing's real until you feel

I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost
As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost
As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea
The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me

Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by the waves
Nowhere left to run, Navigator's son
Chasing rainbows all my days

Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been
Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so
Nothing's real until you feel

Celtica
This is another of mine. This is the last one I have at the moment that I feel is finished, so there won't be one of mine for a while after this.

[1st Verse]
"...of Celtic fire, he was born."
The magician hath embraced winter's frost.
Themper thy sword amidst the dragon's flame.
This night we cross the sea to Tir Na N'og.

[Repeat 1st Verse]

[2nd Verse]
Our blackened swords art stained with blood.
As relics, the bones remainst in the mud.
On my face the scars of time art found.
Crimson tears lie in pools on the ground.

The mourning cometh and we set off down the pass.
My defeated brothers we hath burnt to an ash.
O' great lord and master, lead on to victory.
The enemy hath fled before our wrath and glory.

[Chorus]
"...of Celtic fire, he was born."
His soul hath set the fields ablaze;
His wrath no mortal can endure.
He commandeth starlight with his gaze.

"...of Celtic fire, he was born."
To Celtic fire he shalt return.

[3rd Verse]
In anger I awoke to the call of assembly.
Precognitive dreams of death and battery.
Searing winds bringst the smell of desolation.
Repugnant air of decay and suffocation.

The mourning cometh and we set off down the pass.
My defeated brothers we hath burnt to an ash.
O' great lord and master, lead on to massacre.
Sadistic ritual of humans, sacrifice to procure.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Dagda!
Fearsome warrior!
Master of magick!
Fill our Celtic blood!

"...of Celtic fire, he was born."
To Celtic fire he shalt return.

Kubla Khan - Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Another poem by STC today.

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree :
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man

Down to a sunless sea.

So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round :
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree ;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
But oh ! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover !
A savage place ! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover !
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced :
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail :
And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
It flung up momently the sacred river.
Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,
Then reached the caverns measureless to man,
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean :
And 'mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
Ancestral voices prophesying war !


The shadow of the dome of pleasure
Floated midway on the waves ;
Where was heard the mingled measure
From the fountain and the caves.

It was a miracle of rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice !
A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw :
It was an Abyssinian maid,
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of Mount Abora.
Could I revive within me
Her symphony and song,
To such a deep delight 'twould win me,

That with music loud and long,
I would build that dome in air,
That sunny dome ! those caves of ice !
And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware ! Beware !
His flashing eyes, his floating hair !
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.

Mother Russia - Iron Maiden
[Harris]

Mother Russia how are you sleeping
Middle winter cold winds blow
From the trees the snowflakes drifting
Swirling round like ghosts in the snow

Mother Russia poetry majestic
Tells the time of a great empire
Turning round the old man ponders
Reminiscing an age gone by

Mother Russia
Dance of the Tsars
Hold up your heads
Be proud of what you are
Now it has come
Freedom at last
Turning the tides of history
And your past

Mother Russia
Dance of the Tsars
Hold up your heads
Remember who you are
Can you release
The anger the grief
Can you be happy
Now your people are free

Infinite Dreams - Iron Maiden
[Harris]

Infinite dreams I can't deny them
Infinity is hard to comprehend
I couldn't hear those screams
Even in my wildest dreams

Suffocation waking in a sweat
Scared to fall asleep again
Incase the dream begins again
Someone chasing I cannot move
Standing rigid nightmare's statue
What a dream when will it end
And will it trnscend ?

Restless sleep the minds in turmoil
One nightmare ends another fertile
Getting to me so scared to sleep
But scared to wake now, in too deep.

Even thought its reached new heights
I rather like the restless nights
It makes me wonder it makes me think
There's more to this I'm on the brink
It's not the fear of what's beyound
It's just that I might not respond
I have an interest almost craving
But would I like to get too far in ?

It can't all be coincidence
Too many things are evident
You tell me you're an unbeliever
Spirtualists ? Well me I'm neither
But wouldn't you like to know
The truth
Oh what's out there to have the proof
And find out just which side
You're on
Where would you end in Heaven or
In Hell ?

Help me. Help me to find my true
Self without seeing the future
Save me, save me from fortuning
Myself even within my dreams

There's got to be just more to it
That this
Or tell me why do we exist
I'd like to think that when I die
I'd get a chance another time
And to return and live again
Reincarnate, play the game
Again and again and again.

Where The Rain Grows - Helloween
Today we have a Helloween song off of Master of the Rings. Just so you know, I won't be here all day past this point. I'm going to my aunt's wedding. Talk to you guys tomorrow.

I never looked higher
Than I could see
Never gave less
Than I have given me
The more you have taken
You turned into fakes
I finally know how
Why for heavens'sake?

Don't tell me you did not see that I cried
Don't act so deaf and blind
Don't think that is someone's made dumb to the core
He would stay like before

So I take my life
Back from where the rain grows
Die to survive
Back from where the rain grows

Now you call me liar
'Cause you are just the
"Always-have-right-
fools-majority"
I think that if someone
Starved at your side
You'd all turn your back
Won't give any dime

Don't tell me you did not see that I cried
Don't act so deaf and blind
Don't think that is someone's made sad to the core
He would stay like before

So I take my life
Back from where the rain grows
Die to survive
Back from where the rain grows

So I take my life
Back from where the rain grows
Die to survive
Back from where the rain grows
I know where the rain grows
I'm back from where the rain grows
