"Watch You Burn"...

"Watch You Burn" by Disturbed

I didn't mean to give my soul away
To have the life I thought that everybody wants
And I need to let you know I was wrong
It's a sham
They stole my heart and took control away
And when I lost the life that everybody wants
Well, you'd think they'd help you out
But they don't give a damn

They lift you up (You might feel it, but don't believe it)
You take your turn (You'll see it, when you achieve it)
They light that spark (You can't fight it)
Then sit back and watch you burn
They lift you up (You might feel it, but don't believe it)
Give you your turn (You'll see it, when you achieve it)
When your world goes dark (You can't hide it)
They'll just smile and watch you burn

You can't believe a single word they say
You tried to have the life that everybody wants
Pretty soon you'll figure out that you don't
It's a scam
You're torn apart, and then you're thrown away
And you become the one that everybody taunts
By then there's no way out
It's all part of the plan

They lift you up (You might feel it, but don't believe it)
You take your turn (You'll see it, when you achieve it)
They light that spark (You can't fight it)
Then sit back and watch you burn
They lift you up (You might feel it, but don't believe it)
Give you your turn (You'll see it, when you achieve it)
When your world goes dark (You can't hide it)
They'll just smile and watch you burn

They lift you up
You take your turn (You'll see it, when you achieve it)
They light that spark (You can't fight it)
Then sit back and watch you burn
They lift you up (You might feel it, but don't believe it)
Give you your turn (You'll see it, when you achieve it)
When your world goes dark (You can't hide it)
They'll just smile and watch you burn

"Uninvited Guest"

"Uninvited Guest" by Disturbed

Thought I was rid of you
Thought it was over with
Thought I was over it
Thought I evicted you from my heart
Kicked you out of my mind
So nothing left of you
Wouldn't be left behind

Ooh, but you still take up all my space
You just won't go away

You stay in my head
Like an uninvited guest,
uninvited guest
You still haunt my heart
Guess you haven't left it yet,
haven't left it yet
Ooh, like an uninvited guest

Still see you everywhere
You're still in every room
Feel you with every move
I can't go on without
erasing you from my heart
Tired of feeling this pain
Seems you're the only ghost
I just can't chase away

Ooh, you still inhabit every thought
I prayed that you'd be gone

You stay in my head
Like an uninvited guest,
an uninvited guest
You still haunt my heart
Seems you haven't left it yet,
haven't left it yet

I, I don't want to feel you around!
I just want you, want you out
So please, go, please!

You stay in my head
Like an uninvited guest,
an uninvited guest
You still haunt my heart
Guess you haven't left it yet,
haven't left me yet

You stay in my head
Like an uninvited guest,
uninvited guest
You still haunt my heart
like an uninvited guest

"Absolute Power"...

"Absolute Power" by Parkway Drive

Your heart, your home, your voice, it's got a price tag
Sign in blood, bury your rights in a body bag
They're feeding fear through the fault lines
You heard it here first, they got your freedoms on the front line
Prime time, the noose at our throats
Our liberties hands run with the blood of the scapegoats
So tell me, how can we demonize
when we can't see life through another's eyes?

Pay 'em off and play 'em off
Fear rolls like a reaper through the streets of the lost
Pay 'em off and play 'em off
But in the eyes of the storm

The truth drops like a bomb!
The truth drops like a bomb!
The battle is on

Hands in chains for a fist full of dollars
Who do we blame for the holes in our knowledge?
The past you know has been written by the victor
So I ask you now, who is it writing your future?
The butcher, the liar, the thief or the killer?
Your freedom died quiet in the halls of power
Starved for peace, we'll eat war until it kills us
Six feet deep with a belly full of bullets!

Pay 'em off and play 'em off
Fear rolls like a reaper through the streets of the lost
Pay 'em off and play 'em off
But in the eyes of the storm

The truth drops like a bomb!
The truth drops like a bomb!
The battle is on

The hate runs deep, but our hopes cut deeper
Now we walk through the valley in the shadow of the reaper
Money talks, and it's speaking in tongues
They put a price on our soul, like they had already won
Now open wide
I see their jaws locked tight
Silent in the moment, like prey in the floodlights
The signal is static, baptised in fire
Now we see how they talk
With a mouth full of barbed wire

Absolute power
Absolute power
Absolute power
Absolute power corrupts absolutely!
Absolute power
Absolute power
Absolute power
Absolute power corrupts

The truth drops like a bomb!
The truth drops like a bomb!
The battle is on

The truth drops like a...

Absolute power corrupts absolutely!

[Jack T. Chance]

"The Void"...

"The Void" by Parkway Drive

Nothing can save us, nothing between
Infinite madness and the spiral of humanity
Nothing controls us, nothing breeds
The void awakens in the quickening of atrophy

Answer no master, never the slave
Carry your dreams down into the grave
Every heart, like every soul
Equal to break

It's alive
Can you feel it taking hold again?
In your mind
All your demons are rattling chains
Welcome to a world of pain!

Nothing kills us, nothing seethes
Extinction riding on the pale horse of destiny
Nothing hates us, nothing can see
Through our eyes it dives into our minds and sows its disease

Answer no master, never the slave
Carry your dreams down into the grave
Every heart, like every soul
Equal to break

It's alive
Can you feel it taking hold again?
In your mind
All your demons are rattling chains
Welcome to a world of pain!

(It's alive, can you feel it)

It's alive
Can you feel it taking hold again?
In your mind
All your demons are rattling chains
It's alive
Can you feel it?
In your mind
All your demons are rattling chains
Welcome to a world
Welcome to a world of pain!

"So Long, And Thanks For All the Fish"...

"So Long, And Thanks For All the Fish" by A Perfect Circle

Time is money and money is time
We wasted every second dime
On diets, lawyers, shrinks, and apps,
and flags, and plastic surgery
Now Willy Wonka, Major Tom,
Ali and Leia have moved on
Signal the final curtain call
in all this atomic pageantry

Bravissimo, hip-hip hooray
For this fireworks display
Mind and body blown away
What a radiant crescendo

Ticker tape parade
Our hair and skin like
Marilyn Monroe
in an afterwind

Time is money and money is time
We wasted every second dime
On politicians, fancy water
and guns, and plastic surgery
Like old Prince and Renie's mom,
all the dolphins have moved on
Signaling the final curtain call
in all this atomic pageantry

Bravissimo, hip-hip hooray
What a glorious display
Melt our joyous hearts away
Under the mushroom cloud confetti

Hip-hip hooray
For this fireworks display
Mind and body blown away
What a radiant crescendo

Hip-hip hooray
Hip-hip hooray

Ticker tape parade
Our hair and skin like
Marilyn Monroe
in an afterwind

Time is money and money is time
We wasted every second dime
On diets, lawyers, shrinks, and apps
and flags, and plastic surgery
Now Willy Wonka, Major Tom
Ali and Leia have moved on
Signal the final curtain call
in all this atomic pageantry

"TalkTalk"

"TalkTalk" by A Perfect Circle

You're waiting on miracles
We're bleeding out
Thoughts and prayers, adorable
Like cake in a crisis
We're bleeding out
While you deliberate,
bodies accumulate

Sit and talk like Jesus
Try walking like Jesus
Sit and talk like Jesus
Talk like Jesus
Talk, talk, talk, talk
Get the fuck out of my way!

Don't be the problem, be the solution
Don't be the problem, be the solution
Don't be the problem, be the solution
Problem, problem, problem, problem

Faith without works is
Talk without works is
Faith without works is
Dead, dead, dead, dead

Sit and talk like Jesus
Try walking like Jesus
Sit and talk like Jesus
Try walking like Jesus

Try braving the rain
Try lifting the stone
Try extending a hand
Try walking your talk, or
get the fuck out of my way!

Are you listening, Mr. President?

[Jack T. Chance]

"The Doomed"...

Here's my current metal obsession, a new song I just heard on Sirius-XM this week, all about the new reality of the world in 2017...

"The Doomed" by A Perfect Circle

Behold a new Christ
Behold the same old horde
Gather at the altering
New beginning, new word
And the word was death
And the word was without light
The new beatitude:
"Good luck, you're on your own"

Blessed are the fornicates
May we bend down to be their whores
Blessed are the rich
May we labor; deliver them more
Blessed are the envious
Bless the slothful, the wrathful, the vain
Blessed are the gluttonous
May they feast us to famine and war

What of the pious, the pure of heart, the peaceful?
What of the meek, the mourning, and the merciful?
All doomed
All doomed

Behold a new Christ
Behold the same old horde
Gather at the altering
New beginning, new word
And the word was death
And the word was without light
The new beatitude:
"Good luck..."

What of the pious, the pure of heart, the peaceful?
What of the meek, the mourning, and the merciful?
What of the righteous?
What of the charitable?
What of the truthful, the dutiful, the decent?

Doomed are the poor
Doomed are the peaceful
Doomed are the meek
Doomed are the merciful
For the word is now death
And the word is now without light
The new beatitude:
"Fuck the doomed, you're on your own!"

[Jack T. Chance]

"Dreamer"...

"Dreamer" by Ozzy Osbourne

Gazing through the window at the world outside,
wondering will Mother Earth survive
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her, sometime

After all, there's only just the two of us
And here we are, still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself, time after time

I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away
I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days

I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those who will come after us, this time

I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away, oh yeah
I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days

Your higher power, maybe God, or Jesus Christ
It doesn't really matter much to me
Without each other's help, there ain't no hope for us
I'm living in a dream of fantasy, oh yeah yeah yeah!

If only we could all just find serenity
It would be nice if we could live as one
When will all this anger, hate, and bigotry be gone?

I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away, today
I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days, okay
I'm just a dreamer, who's searching for the way, today
I'm just a dreamer, dreaming my life away
Oh, yeah yeah yeah

[Jack T. Chance]

"Imagine"...

This is the message the world needs to embrace now, more than ever before...

"Imagine" by John Lennon

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No Hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
Yoo hoo ooh ooh ooh

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can?
No need for greed or hunger
A Brotherhood of Man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world
Yoo hoo ooh ooh ooh

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Be excellent to each other... AND PARTY ON, DUDES!

[Jack T. Chance]

"Moth Into Flame"...

"Moth Into Flame" by Metallica

Blacked out
Pop queen, amphetamine
The screams crashed into silence

Tapped out
Doused in the gasoline
The high times going timeless

Decadence
Death of the innocence
The pathway starts to spiral

Infamy
All for publicity
Destruction going viral

Light it up
Ah, light it up
Another hit erases all the pain
Bulletproof
Ah, killer truth
You're falling, but you think you're flying high
High again

Sold your soul
Built a higher wall
Yesterday
Now you're thrown away

Same rise and fall
Who cares at all?
Seduced by fame
A moth into the flame!

Twisted
Backstabbing wicked
The delusion absolution

Perjurer
Fame is the murderer
Seduced you into ruin

Light it up
Ah, light it up
Another hit erases all the pain
Bulletproof
Ah, tell the truth
You're falling, but you think you're flying high
High again

Sold your soul
Built the higher wall
Yesterday
Now you're thrown away

Same rise and fall
Who cares at all?
Seduced by fame
A moth into the flame
Burn

Guarantee your name, you go and kill yourself
The vultures feast around you still
Overdose on shame and insecurity
If one won't do, that fistful will!

Death scene
Black hearse, the limousine
A grave filled with seduction

Vaccine
Fame does the murdering
She builds up for destruction

So light it up
Ah, light it up
Another hit erases all the pain
Bulletproof
Ah, no excuse
You're falling, but you think you're flying high
High again

Sold your soul
Built the higher wall
Yesterday
Now you're thrown away

Same rise and fall
Who cares at all?
Seduced by fame
A moth into the flame!

Addicted to the
Fame!

"The Thing That Should Not Be"...

"The Thing That Should Not Be" by Metallica

Messenger of fear in sight
Dark deception kills the light!

Hybrid children watch the sea
Pray for father, roaming free!

Fearless wretch,
insanity
He watches,
lurking beneath the sea
Great Old One,
forbidden site
He searches,
hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
In madness you dwell!

Crawling chaos underground
Cult has summoned twisted sound!

Out from ruins once possessed
Fallen city, living death!

Fearless wretch,
insanity
He watches,
lurking beneath the sea
Timeless sleep
has been upset
He wakens,
hunter of the shadows is rising!
Immortal
In madness you dwell!

Not dead which eternal lie
Stranger eons death may die!

Drain you of your sanity
Face the thing that should not be!



Fearless wretch,
insanity
He watches,
lurking beneath the sea
Great Old One,
forbidden site
He searches,
hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
In madness you dwell!

"Dream No More" by Metallica

He sleeps under black seas waiting,
lies dreaming in death
He sleeps under cosmos shaking,
stars granting his breath

He wakes as the world dies screaming,
all horrors arrive
He wakes giving earth its bleeding,
pure madness alive

And He haunts you!
And He blinds your soul
And He loathes you!
And reclaims it all

You turn to stone
Can't look away!
You turn to stone
Madness, they say

Cthulhu awaken!



He sways in abyss returning,
inhaling black skies
He shakes with a torture burning,
all lost in his eyes

And He haunts you!
And He blinds your soul
And He loathes you!
And reclaims it all

You turn to stone
Can't look away!
You turn to stone
Madness, they say

Cthulhu awaken!



You turn to stone
Can't look away!
You turn to stone
Madness, they say

Sanity taken,
seething damnation
Cthulhu awaken!
(Wake) Winged Salvation,
death by creation
Cthulhu, awaken!
(Wake) Dreaming no more!



Cthulhu, awaken!
(Wake) Dreaming no more!
Cthulhu, awaken!
(Wake) Dreaming no more!

"Halo On Fire"...

"Halo On Fire" by Metallica

Obey, obey,
come won't you stay?
Sincere, sincere,
all ends in tears
Endure, endure,
thoughts most impure
Concede, concede,
but both shall we bleed

Oh! Halo on fire,
the midnight knows it well!
Fast, is desire,
creates another hell!
I fear to turn on the light,
for the darkness won't go away!
Fast, is desire
Turn out the light
Halo on fire!

Allure, allure,
sweetness obscure
Abide, abide,
secrets inside
Deprive, deprive,
to feel so alive
Obey, obey,
just don't turn away!

Oh! Halo on fire,
the midnight knows it well
Fast, is desire,
creates another hell!
I fear to turn on the light,
for the darkness won't go away!
Fast, is desire
Turn out the light
Halo on fire!

Prayers cannot get through,
return to sender
Unto which of you
shall I surrender?
Twisting in disguise,
dark resurrection
Lighting up the skies,
wicked perfection

Too dark to sleep,
can't slip away
Open or closed,
my eyes betray
Beyond the black,
come won't you stay?

Hello darkness, say goodbye
Hello darkness, say goodbye
Hello darkness, say goodbye

[EricKei]

For this year in general:

Life Is a Lemon and I Want My Money Back
Meat Loaf (Songwriter: Jim Steinman)

I want my money back
I want my money back

It's all or nothing
And nothing's all I ever get
Every time I turn it on
I burn it up and burn it out

It's always something
There's always something going wrong
That's the only guarantee
That's what this is all about

It's a never ending attack
Everything's a lie, and that's a fact
Life is a lemon and I want my money back!

And all the morons
And all the stooges with their coins
They're the ones who make the rules
It's not a game, it's just a rout

There's desperation
There's desperation in the air
It leaves a stain on all your clothes
And no detergent gets it out

And we're always slipping through the the cracks
Then the movie's over, fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back!
I want my money back
I want my money back

What about love?
It's defective!
It's always breaking in half
What about sex?!
It's defective!
It's never built to really last
What about your family?
It's defective!
All the batteries are shot
What about your friends?
They're defective!
All the parts are out of stock
What about hope?
It's defective!
It's corroded and decayed
What about faith?
It's defective!
It's tattered and it's frayed
What about your Gods?
They're defective!
They forgot the warranty
What about your town?
It's defective!
It's a dead end street to me
What about your school?
It's defective!
It's a pack of useless lies
What about your work?
It's defective!
It's a crock and then you die
What about your childhood?
It's defective!
It's dead and buried in the past
What about your future?
It's defective!

And you can shove it up your ass!!
I want my money back
I want my money back

It's all or nothing
And nothing's all I ever get
Every time I turn it on
I burn it up and burn it out

It's a never ending attack
Everything's a lie, and that's a fact
Life is a lemon and I want my money back!
And we're always slipping through the the cracks
Then the movie's over-fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back!

"Wheels of Confusion"...

"Wheels of Confusion" by Black Sabbath

Long ago I wandered through my mind,
in the land of fairy tales and stories
Lost in happiness, I didn't know fears
Innocence and love was all I knew,
was an illusion!

Soon the days were passing into haze
Happiness just didn't come so easy
Life was more than fairy tales and daydreams
Innocence was just another word,
was an illusion!

Lost in the wheels of confusion
Running through valleys of tears
Eyes full of angry delusion
Hiding in everyday fears

So, I found that life is just a game
But, you know, there's never been a winner!
Try your hardest, you'll still be a loser
The world will still be turning when you're gone
Yeah, when you're gone!

[Jack T. Chance]

Mandatory Metallica! \m/ ^_^ \m/

In honor of the release of Metallica's new album yesterday, my posts in this topic for the rest of the month will be MANDATORY METALLICA!!!

For starters we have a song that was directly responsible for me becoming one of their fans back in the early '90s, 'cuz it's the story of my life...

"The Unforgiven" by Metallica

New blood joins this Earth,
and quickly he's subdued
Through constant pained disgrace,
the young boy learns their rules
With time, the child draws in,
this whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts,
the young man struggles on and on, he's known
Ooo, a vow unto his own,
that never from this day,
his will they'll take away!

What I've felt, what I've known,
never shined through in what I've shown
Never be, never see,
won't see what might have been

What I've felt, what I've known,
never shined through in what I've shown
Never free, never me,
so I dub thee unforgiven

They dedicate their lives
to running all of his!
He tries to please them all,
this bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same,
he's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win,
a tired man they see no longer cares!
The old man then prepares
to die regretfully
That old man here is me

What I've felt, what I've known,
never shined through in what I've shown
Never be, never see,
won't see what might have been

What I've felt, what I've known,
never shined through in what I've shown
Never free, never me,
so I dub thee unforgiven

[solo]

What I've felt, what I've known,
never shined through in what I've shown
Never be, never see,
won't see what might have been

What I've felt, what I've known,
never shined through in what I've shown
Never free, never me,
so I dub thee unforgiven

Never free, never me,
so I dub thee unforgiven

You labelled me, I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven

Never free, never me!
So I dub thee unforgiven

You labelled me, I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven

Never free, never me,
so I dub thee unforgiven
