FGFC820 - Pray
Here’s the new theology
The blood of God is on our hands
Repressed ideology
Persecute, control, command
We live in hypocrisy
Setting fire to the lie
Vengeance is victory
Ours is not to question why
Pray – say a prayer – pray for us
When we lie down in the night
Say the words – weep for us
When we’ve lost the will to fight
Raise your fist – show your hand
And extend your mercy now
Help us to understand
Remember God is watching you
We revel in the flesh
Cast out the chosen few
The written word that we detest
Submit – subvert – refuse
We live in hypocrisy
Setting fire to the lie
Vengeance is victory
Ours is not to question why
Pray - say a prayer - pray for us
When we lie down in the night
Say the words – weep for us
When we’ve lost the will to fight
Raise your fist – show your hand
And explain your mercy now
Help us to understand
Remember we are still waiting
What is it we are living for
We cower in a column of light
Paradise is a holy war
Faith is a conquest in the night
We live in hypocrisy
Setting fire to the lie
Vengeance is victory
Ours is not to question why
Pray - say a prayer - pray for us
When we lie down in the night
Say the words – weep for us
When we’ve lost the will to fight
Raise your fist – show your hand
And exact your vengeance now
Help us to understand
Remember we are still waiting
Pray - say a prayer - pray for us
When we lie down in the night
Say the words – weep for us
When we’ve lost the will to fight
Raise your fist – show your hand
And explain your actions now
Help us to understand
Remember we cannot silence God
Diary Of Dreams - Traumtänzer
Die Zeit steht still in diesem Raum
Doch merken's andere Menschen kaum
Es steht die Luft hier in der Schwebe
Als ob der Wind(h)auch nicht mehr lebe
Die Stille schmerzt in meinen Ohren
Ich wünscht ich hätt' dich nicht verloren.
Während Träume sich erinnern
an die Zeit vor unserer Zeit
Vergisst du alle Sorge
Was dir ein wenig Kraft verleiht
Du enthälst dich vieler Dinge
Erklärst dich klug als Philosoph
Du entehrst so viele Dinge
Bist dir hörig wie ein Zof!
Wirst du mich nie verstehen?
Wirst du denn nie verstehen?
Hast du noch nie gesehen,
wie meine Augen glitzern?
Keiner mag dir mehr vertrauen
Schenkt kein Wort dir edler Gunst
Siehst deinen Schatten schon verschwinden
Dort am Horizont im Dunst
...denn es ist Zeit, für eine neue Melodie,
für eine neue Phantasie, für eine neue Harmonie
Wirst du mich nie verstehen?
Wirst du denn nie verstehen?
Hast du noch nie gesehen,
wie meine Augen glitzern?
Ich stehe auf und geh nun fort
an einen fremden, fernen Ort
Gesichter reden auf mich ein
So werd ich nie zu Hause sein.
Wirst du mich nie verstehen?
Wirst du denn nie verstehen?
Hast du noch nie gesehen,
wie meine Augen glitzern?
Assemblage23 - Let Me Be Your Armor
Let me take the fall
Let me take the blame
Let me carry you from hell
To home again.
Let me walk for you
When your legs are weak
Let me find the words for you
When you can't speak
Let me be your armor
Let me be your shield
Let me take away the pain you feel (your armor)
Let me be the light
That guides your way through darkest night
Let me be your armor.
Let me take the blows
That were meant for you
Let me help you the trials
You're going through
Let me keep you safe
From the world outside
Let me wipe away the tears
That fill your eyes
Let me be your armor
Let me be your shield
Let me take away the pain you feel (your armor)
Let me be the light
That guides your way through darkest night
Let me be your armor.
Let me keep you from
Experience you need
Let me bind you with my selfishness
And greed
Let me stifle you
Let me have control
Let me smother
Every aspect of your soul
Let me be your armor
Let me be your shield
Let me take away the pain you feel (your armor)
Let me be the light
That guides your way through darkest night
Let me be your armor.
VnV Nation - Epicentre
I asked myself "was I content"
with the world that I once cherished
Did it bring me to this darkened place
to contemplate my perfect future
I will not stand nor utter words against
this tide of hate
Losing sight of what and who I was again
I'm so sorry if these seething words that I say
impress on you that I've become
the anathema of my soul
I can say that you're losing me
I always tried to keep myself tied to this world
but I know where this is leading
(please)
No tears
No sympathy
I can say that you're losing me
but I must be that which I am
Though I know where this could take me
No tears
No sympathy
Gracefully
Respectfully
Facing conflict deep inside myself
But here confined
Losing control of what I could not change
Gracefully
Respectfully
I ask you "please don't worry"
not for me
Don't turn your back
Don't turn away
I can say that you're losing me
I always tried to keep myself tied to this world
but I know where this is leading
(please)
No tears
No sympathy
I can say that you're losing me
but I must be that which I am
Though I know where this could take me
No tears
No sympathy
No tears for me
No sympathy
No tears for me
No sympathy
Gracefully
Respectfully
I ask you "please don't worry"
not for me
Don't turn your back
Don't turn away
I can say that you're losing me
I always tried to keep myself tied to this world
but I know where this is leading
(please)
No tears
No sympathy
I can say that you're losing me
but I must be that which I am
Though I know where this could take me
No tears
No sympathy...
No tears for me
No sympathy
No tears for me
No sympathy
Gracefully
Respectfully
I ask you "please don't worry"
not for me
Don't turn your back
Don't turn away
I can say that you're losing me
I always tried to keep myself tied to this world
but I know where this is leading
(please)
No tears
No sympathy
I can say that you're losing me
but I must be that which I am
Though I know where this could take me
No tears
No sympathy...
VnV Nation - Honour
Passive fields. January two thousand and twelve
A nation that stands alone
Cold voices, faces pale
Gathered unto their judgement day
Such pride remains unbroken
Such words remain unspoken
Just mothers to stand in vain and cry
Tears and medals in the rain
Shall I recall when justice did prevail?
No reason to be found why reason did fail
The all clear resounding
The way was clear to rebuild this land
Shall I call on you to guide me well
To see our hopes and dreams fulfilled?
On this day of our ascension
Stand your ground this is what we are fighting for
For our spirit and laws and ways
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war
For heaven or hell we shall not wait
Shall I think of honour as lies?
Or lament it's aged slow demise?
Shall I stand as a total stranger
On this day in this stone chamber?
The all clear resounding
The way was clear to rebuild this land
Shall I call on you to guide me well?
To see our hopes and dreams fulfilled?
On this day of our ascension
On this day we praise the fallen
Stand your ground this is what we are fighting for
For our spirit and laws and ways
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war
For heaven or hell we shall not wait
Shall I think of honour as lies
Or lament it's aged slow demise?
Shall I stand as a total stranger
On this day in this stone chamber?
Stand your ground this is what we are fighting for
For our spirit and laws and ways
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war
For heaven or hell we shall not wait
Shall I think of honour as lies
Or lament it's aged slow demise?
Shall I stand as a total stranger
On this day in this stone chamber?
Stand your ground this is what we are fighting for
For our spirit and laws and ways
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war
For heaven or hell we shall not wait
Shall I think of honour as lies
Or lament it's aged slow demise?
Shall I stand as a total stranger
On this day in this stone chamber?
VnV Nation - Joy
Have I no control, is my soul not mine?
Am I not just man, destiny defined?
Never to be ruled nor held to heel
Not heaven or hell just the land between
Am I not man, does my heart not bleed?
No lord, no God, no hate, no pity, no pain, just me
Comprehend and countermand
Synchronous guidance. I choose my way
Never to be ruled nor held to heel
No heaven or hell, just the land between
And am I not man?
So why do I love when I still feel pain?
When does it end, when is my work done?
Why am I lone and why do I feel that
I carry a sword through a battlefield?
So why do I love when I still feel pain?
When does it end, when is my work done?
Why do I fight and why do I feel that
I carry a sword, that I carry a sword?
Like the path to heaven or the road to hell
Our choice is our own consequences bind
We are the kings of wisdom, the fools as well
We are the gods to many, we are humble men
We who build great works just to break them down
We who make our rules so we never fail
So why do I love when I still feel pain?
When does it end, when is my work done?
Why am I lone and why do I feel that
I carry a sword through a battlefield?
So why do I love when I still feel pain?
When does it end, when is my work done?
Why do I fight and why do I feel that
I carry a sword, that I carry a sword through a battlefield?
Theatre Of Tragedy - A Rose For The Dead
(Play by Raymond, Music by Theatre of Tragedy)
Oh - my dearest; the sweet music in the ear -
Albeit, daresay I, the lullaby of an everso dark sleep.
My precious,
likest thou what emergeth yon the distant?
The throbbing and breathing of life's machinery!
Wanion its oh so damndest soul!
With the devil-instrument it we shall reap,
after the banquet obscur'd in our thole,
its blood so lovingly across our faces smear.
Lord of carnage,
Lady of carnage,
One funeral maketh many,
Swarm god's acres;
Two indeed more:
blest treat of delight -
Give praise for the blood it bled!
Grant a rose for the dead!
Grant a rose for the dead!
Eenraptur'd by the timeless beauty of the
shadowsphere,
we two abide the overlook'd time of the watch.
Make this cherish'd feast last
but until the new dawn ascendeth.
Be still - harken the lure of night!
Bale in each its damndest shadow,
cloth me in night, ne'er feel rue,
in its face, behold! Naught save grue.
Pray, ne'er come hither daylight!
Wane to dust the wight,
Velvet darkness, thee we ourselves bestow!
Misery it in velvet fright
Covenant - Call The Ships To Port
A billion words ago
The sailors disappeared
A story for the children
To rock them back to sleep
A million burning books
Like torches in our hands
A fabric of ideals
To decorate our homes
A thousand generations
The soil on which we walk
A mountain of mistakes
For us to climb for pleasure
A hundred clocks are ticking
The line becomes a circle
Spin the wheel of fortune
Or learn to navigate
[x2]
A choir full of longing
Will call our ships to port
The countless lonely voices
Like whispers in the dark
A second of reflection can
Take you to the moon
The slightest hesitation can
Bring you down in flames
A single spark of passion
Can change a man forever
A moment in a lifetime
Is all it takes to break him
A fraction of a heartbeat
Made us what we are
A brother and a sister
For better or for worse
A billion words ago
They sang a song of leaving
An echo from the chorus
Will call them back again
[x2]
A choir full of longing
Will call our ships to port
The countless lonely voices
Like whispers in the dark
[x3]
Tonight we light the fires
We call our ships to port
Tonight we walk on water
And tomorrow we'll be gone
...Tonight
...Tonight

Like Tears In The Rain / Der Leiermann
Like Tears In The Rain [English Lyrics]
Go to the Empire State and watch the city lights
Hear the noise of millions struggle in the sprawl
Stare into the sky, we're few and far between
Black eyes full of stars, wide with memories
Every street I ever walked
Every home I ever had
Is lost
Every flower I ever held
Every spring I ever had
Has died
Every man I ever knew
Every woman I ever had
Is gone
Everything I ever touched
Everything I ever had
Has died
Lie down in the park and watch the satellites
Hear the children sing just a breath away
Dance in the heavy air along the interstate
Black lung full of fumes, choke on memories
Every street I ever walked
Every home I ever had
Is lost
Every flower I ever held
Every spring I ever had
Has died
Every man I ever knew
Every woman I ever had
Is gone
Everything I ever touched
Everything I ever had
Has died
Der Leiermann [German Lyrics]
Drueben hinterm Dorfe steht ein Leiermann
und mit starren Fingern dreht er, was er kann.
Barfuss auf dem eise wankt er hin und her
und sein kleiner Teller bleibt ihm immer leer.
[x2]
Wunderlicher alter, soll ich mit dir geh'n?
Willst zu meinen Liedern deine Leier dreh'n?
Keiner mag ihn hoeren, keiner sieht ihn an,
und die Hunde knurren um den alten Mann.
Und er lässt es gehen alles, wie es will,
dreht, und seine Leier steht ihm nimmer still.
[x2]
Wunderlicher alter, soll ich mit dir geh'n?
Willst zu meinen Liedern deine Leier dreh'n?
Wolfsheim - Care For You
And When Winter Comes Around
You'll Need Your Winter Shoes.
But If Winter's Still About
To Get Too Cold For You,
You'll Need Someone To Keep You Warm...
Someone To Help You Through The Storm...
Someone Who's Good...
Doing No Harm...
...And He'll Say...
...I Care For You...I'm There...
...I'm There For You... I Care...
And When The Time Is Right
You'll Wear Your Wedding Shoes.
And If This Life Still Seems To Be
Not Quite Enough For You,
You'll Find Someone To Help You Out...
Someone To Miss And Dream About
That Being In Love...
Is Doing No Harm...
...And He'll Say...
...I Care For You...I'm There
...I'm There For You... I Care...
The Crüxshadows - Deception / Täuschung
Deception [English Lyrics]
She cries, children often do
When they're cold, and hungry too,
Come closer, look deeply in her eyes
So delicate, quite unlike her smile
Life clinging backwards,
In the fall of dread confusion,
Still this silence gnaws upon your fingertips,
All-yielding prayer, for instant isolation,
Far more sinister than the price of doubt,
Yet you remain,
Still you remain,
And she says:
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception,
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception...
Life clinging backwards,
In the fall of dread confusion,
Still this silence gnaws upon your fingertips,Life clinging backwards,
In the fall of dread confusion,
Still this silence gnaws upon your fingertips,
All-yielding prayer, for instant isolation,
Far more sinister than the price of doubt,
Yet you remain,
Still you remain,
And she says:
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception,
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception..
(violin solo)
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception,
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception,
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception,
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception.
Täuschung ["Deception" in German]
sie weint, wie kinder öfters auch
wenn sie frieren und hungrig auch
komm näher, schau' tief in ihre augen so weit
ganz ungleich ihrem lächeln
leben haftet rückwärts an
in dem fall des schrecklichen verlierens noch diese stille
zerfrisst auch deine fingerspitzen
kalter langer atem hat schon für sofortigen platz
viel besser als der preis des zweifels
doch bleibt dort,
noch bleibt dort
und sie sagt:
beten auf tageslicht,
beten auf morgen,
beten auf ein ende zu unserer täuschung
beten auf tageslicht,
beten auf morgen,
beten auf ein ende zu unserer täuschung
leben haftet rückwärts an
in dem fall des schrecklichen verlierens noch diese stille
zerfrisst auch deine fingerspitzen
kalter langer atem für sofortigen platz
viel besser als der preis des zweifels
doch bleibt dort,
noch bleibt dort
und sie sagt:
beten auf tageslicht,
beten auf morgen,
beten auf ein ende zu unserer täuschung
beten auf tageslicht,
beten auf morgen,
beten auf ein ende zu unserer täuschung
beten auf tageslicht,
beten auf morgen,

Apoptygma Berzerk - Love Never Dies [Pt 1]
Forever in your arms, you said, forever in my heart
My love for you will make us both climb higher.
Driven by the power that is burning in our hearts
You know my faith in you will keep us together
Forever in your arms you said, forever in my heart
My love for you will make us both climb higher.
I sense your presence in this room,
I feel that you are near,
You hold me close and whisper "Love is forever"
