Dark Mage's blog: "Other Favorite Song Lyrics"

Mankind in his insatiable search for divine Knowledge has discarded all biblical teachings Realizing that the strength of religion is the repression of knowledge All structures of religion have collapsed Life prays for death in the wake of the horror of these revelations It was never imagined how graphic the reality that would be known as the end of creation Would manifest itself We believe all this chaos and atrocity can be traced Back to one single event We hold these truths to be painfully self-evident All men are not created equal Only the strong will prosper Only the strong will conquer Only in the darkness of Christ have I realized God Hates Us All

Words by neil peart, music by alex lifeson ... behind my beloved waterfall, in the little room that was Hidden beneath the cave, I found it. I brushed away the Dust of the years, and picked it up, holding it reverently in My hands. I had no idea what it might be, but it was Beautiful ... ... I learned to lay my fingers across the wires, and to turn The keys to make them sound differently. as I struck the Wires with my other hand, I produced my first harmonious Sounds, and soon my own music! how different it could Be from the music of the temples! I cant wait to tell the Priests about it! ... What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it gives forth a sound Its got wires that vibrate and give music What can this thing be that I found? See how it sings like a sad heart And joyously screams out its pain Sounds that build high like a mountain Or notes that fall gently like rain I cant wait to share this new wonder The people will all see its light Let them all make their own music The priests praise my name on this night

D.N.R. Lies... broken dreams Dismal past is there more in life... should I... know Ending wars... ending pain Ending of mankind is insane and there's all the possibilities some will fail and some will achieve Even through in my youth I didn't know but what can I do and I may not ever see In my pain, my suffering Can not live for the rest of my life DNR Do not resuscitate me... Life... lost unseen behind the mask and with the open arms will I grasp Open doors... open minds... Ending all the madness I hate And I may not ever see In my pain, my suffering Can not live for the rest of my life DNR Do not resuscitate me... DNR... Wing of sadness... will hold my prayers all this madness... will end my fears contempt in life Conceptualize, wrong or right The ending of life... God save me now... Time... end it now No going back Can you see the light ass you pass Ending wars, ending pain... Waited all my life to be saves And I will not ever see All the hate and suffering Can not live for the rest of my life DNR Do not resuscitate me... DNR

Liar You take great pride in never having lived up to anything Lie, steal, cheat and kill, a real bad guy Your daddy is a wino, and your mommy is quite insane From alter boy to sewer rat, you don’t give a damn Your sister is a junkie, gets ’it’ any way she can Your brother’s a gay singer in a stud leather band Your girlfriend’s got herpes to go with your hep and aids There ain’t one person you know you ain’t ripped off yet. Look deep in the mirror, look deep into it’s eyes Your face is replaced, a creature you despise But I know what you’re made of, it ain’t much I’m afraid I know you’ll be lying until you dying day Make up your stories, truth’s so hard to say Brain is numb and your tongue will surely dig your grave Your mind is sickly from alzheimer’s disease And decadence and debauchery killed your memories You’re a liar, liar, liar, everyone can see Liar, liar, [liar,] it’s all you’ll ever be Liar, liar, liar, it’s what you mean to me Liar, liar, lies... Start trouble, spread pain Piss and venom, in your veins Talk nasty, breathe fire Smell rotten, you’re a liar Sweat liquor, breathe snot Eat garbage, spit blood Diseased, health hazard Scum bag, filthy bastard Greasy face, teeth decay Hair matted, drunk all day Abscessed, sunken veins Rot gut, scrambled brain Steal money, crash cars Rob jewelry, hock guitars Rot in hell, it’s time you know To your master, off you go You’re a liar A fucking liar Filthy liar Liar You fucking liar Liar

Id do anything to hold you. Id go anywhere to touch you. Id do anything you want me to, If youll just stay with me awhile. Id sing any song your heart desires. I would sing out loud of loves sweet fires. Oo, Id do all this and so much more. If youll just stay with me awhile. Reach out your hand, Oh, to me. Oh, Im fallin One minute more, Im fallin Im fallin Oh, oh, fallin, fallin, fallin, fallin Wont you just stay with me awhile?

Someone recently gave Me a copy of this, sung by Gina Glocksen of "American Idol"...She has a great voice, but I recall when this song first came out, and Heart, in any of their career stages have been a favorite of Mine for many years...Anyway, here are the words...they mean so much... Heart - Alone I hear the ticking of the clock I'm lying here the room's pitch dark I wonder where you are tonight No answer on the telephone And the night goes by so very slow Oh I hope that it won't end though Alone Till now I always got by on my own I never really cared until I met you And now it chills me to the bone How do I get you alone How do I get you alone you don't know how long i have wanted to touch your lips and hold you tight You don't know how long I have waited and I was going to tell you tonight But the secret is still my own and my love for you is still unknown Alone Till now I always got by on my own I never really cared until I met you And now it chills me to the bone How do I get you alone How do I get you alone How do I get you alone How do I get you alone Alone, alone

"Tears" All of the seasons and all of the days All of the reasons why I've felt this way So long... So long Then lost in that feeling I looked in your eyes I noticed emotion and that you had cried For me I can see What would touch me deeper... Tears that fall from eyes that only cry? Would it touch you deeper Than tears that fall from eyes that know why? A lifetime of questions, tears on your cheek I tasted the answers and my body was weak For you The truth What would touch me deeper... Tears that fall from eyes that only cry? Would it touch you deeper Than tears that fall from eyes that know why?

Still Life Take a look in the pool and what do you see In the dark depths there faces beckoning me Can't you see them it's plain for all to see They were there oh I know you don't believe me. Oh.....I've never felt so strange But.....I'm not going insane. I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head You don't say but it's in your eyes instead Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool Something draws me there I don't know what to do. Oh.....they drain my strength away Oh.....they're asking me to stay. Nightmares.....spirits calling me Nightmares.....they won't leave me be. All my life's blood is slowly draining away And I feel that I'm weaker every day Somehow I know I haven't long to go Joining them at the bottom of the pool. Now.....I feel they are so near I.....begin to see them clear Nightmares.....coming all the time Nightmares.....Will give me peace of mind. Now it's clear and I know what I have to do I must take you down there to look at them too Hand in hand then we'll jump right into the pool Can't you see not just me they want you too. Oh.....we'll drown together It.....will be forever. Nightmares.....forever calling me Nightmares.....Now we rest in peace. In your sleep "Don't let the morning take him"

Before The Dawn Before the dawn, I hear you whisper In your sleep "Don't let the morning take him" Outside the birds begin to call As if to summon up my leaving It's been a lifetime since I found someone Since I found someone who would stay I've waited too long, and now you're leaving Oh please don't take it all away It's been a lifetime since I found someone Since I found someone who would stay I've waited too long, and now you're leaving Oh please don't take it all away Before the dawn, I hear you whisper In your sleep "Don't let the morning take him"

God Send Death On your back look on to me You'll see genocide Face from death more than insane Profane pleading cries Watch you die inside watch you die God send death end misery Preach no love of ministry Pray for sin a shattered faith Down on your knees Your screaming out to die Death is over due Nothing can save you A morbid symphony Hearing you lie there screaming Taking life from you Is all I wanna do Desire so deranged This is what lives inside me Putrid blood flows through my veins To thrive on demise Voyeurs' lust watching the pain Touching you inside Bleed you fucking dry Bleed on me Death's design blood splattered wall Face melting one vicious whore Twisted figures flesh from bone Down on your knees Your screaming out To die Death is overdue Nothing can save you A morbid symphony Hearing you lie there screaming Taking life from you Is all I wanna do Desire so deranged This is what lives inside me Clawing at the eyes of god You taste your death in hand Your fingers bleed in vain Your scream-in your grave Clawing at the eyes of god You pierce your throat and hands You've gone insane with pain Your blind screaming for your god Pathetic god Death's design blood splattered wall Face melting one vicious whore Twisted figures Drown your mind in pain
