Metallica - Blackened

Blackened is the end
Winter it will send
Throwing all you see
Into obscurity

Death of Mother Earth
Never a rebirth
Evolution’s end
Never will it mend

Never

Fire
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Color our world blackened

Blistering of earth
Terminate its worth
Deadly nicotine
Kills what might have been

Callous frigid chill
Nothing left to kill
Never seen before
Breathing nevermore

Never

Fire
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Color our world blackened

Blackened

Opposition...
Contradiction...
Premonition...
Compromise
Agitation...violation...
Mutilation...planet dies

Darkest color
Blistered earth
True death of life

Termination...expiration...
Cancellation...human race
Expectation...liberation...
Population...lay to waste

See our mother
Put to death
See our mother die

Smoldering decay
Take her breath away
Millions of our years
In minutes disappears

Darkening in vain
Decadence remains
All is said and done
Never is the sun

Never

Fire
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Fire
Is the outcome of hypocrisy
Darkest potency
In the exit of humanity
Color our world blackened

Blackened

Iggy Pop - New Atlantis

Somewhere south of Alabama, and north of Cuba
There lies a beautiful whore of a city
She accepts all donations, and attracts an endless stream of lovers
Colombian Pushers and Murderers
American Swindlers and Slavic Thugs
Because here, a man can be himself
But now, she's sinking into the sea

New Atlantis lying love (Lying love)
New Atlantis sinking slow (Sinking slow)
New Atlantis, dumb as dirt (Dumb as dirt)
New Atlantis, she's a flirt

As her doom became apparent, her magic only accelerated
Because people are desperate for love and beauty

You and I are designed for love
Love there is no chance of
The Earth is ready to detonate
In a fire of imperial emptiness

New Atlantis lying love (Lying love)
New Atlantis sinking slow (Sinking slow)
New Atlantis, dumb as dirt (Dumb as dirt)
New Atlantis, she's a flirt

New Atlantis lying love (Lying love)
New Atlantis sinking slow (Sinking slow)

Some say the world will end in fire
Some say ice
Me? I just see fewer birds
Fish and butterflies
Plenty of concrete, though
I run to Europe, I run to the Caribbean
But coming here is the best thing I ever did
Miami, I love you

The Doors - The End [Edit version from the film Apocalypse Now]

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes
Again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need
Of some stranger's hand
In a desperate land
Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

U2 - The Refugee

Wa, war she's the refugee.
I see your face, I see you staring back at me.
Wa, war she is the refugee.
Her mama say one day she's gonna live in America.

In the morning she is waiting
Waiting for the ship to sail, sail away.

Wa, war her papa go to war.
He gonna fight but he don't know what for.
Wa, war her papa go to war.
Her mama say one day he's gonna come back from far away.

Oh help me
How can you help me?

In the evening
She is waiting
Waiting for her man to come
And take her by her hand
And take her to this promised land.

Wa, war she's a pretty face
But at the wrong time in the wrong place
Wa, war she's a pretty face
Her mama say one days she's gonna live in America.
Yeah, America.

Wa, war she is a refugee.
She coming back, she come and keep you company.
Wa, war she is a refugee.
Her mama say one day she's gonna live in America.

Body Count - Black Voodoo Sex

While ago I told y'all a story about me down in New Orleans meetin' an old lady with a voodoo doll
Well there's more to that story
She had a daughter

Way down in New Orleans
I met this voodoo queen
Finest bitch I ever seen
A human sex machine
A walking wet dream
She said she wanted me

She said: come here boy
I show you how to do this right
You think you know about sex
But you don't know shit
I'm gonna fuck you all night

She took me back to her crib, cold, dark and scary
Connected to a cemetery
A thousand candles lit
I couldn't fuckin' breathe
And then she pushed up against me

And said: come here, boy
I show you how to do this right
You think you know about sex
But you don't know shit
I'm gonna fuck you all night

Sex black voodoo
Sex black voodoo
Sex black voodoo
Sex black voodoo
Sex black voodoo
Sex black voodoo
Sex black voodoo
Sex
No, no, no
Please God help me!

She pushed me back in the bed
Her sheets with blood red
Then she chanted some voodoo shit
She climbed on top of me
And then she started to sweat
Her body was soaking wet

She said: come here boy I show you how to do this right
You think you know about sex
But you don't know shit
I'm gonna fuck you all night

Ey yo, hold on! Ey, whoa whoa whoa, what the fuck is...
Is that a knife? That's a knife?
What is that?
Is that shit real blood?
Is that real blood?
Yo yo, hold on, bitch you're crazy
Black voodoo sex

The Raveonettes - Till The End

Calm down, please stay
Walk upon the ocean till the end
Slow down, don't move
For a moment I belong to you

It's never quite the same
And the one I love never came
And all the songs I've made
Dripping all in my love

Calm down, be still
When you walk upon the ocean till the end
Slow down, don't move
For a moment I belong to you

I'm on the verge of sleep
In the dark, so bored
So I shake until
Let it all begin again

Calm down, be still
When you walk upon the ocean till the end
Slow down, don't move
For a moment I belong to you

Calm down, be still
When you walk upon the ocean till the end
Slow down, don't move
For a moment I belong to you

Depeche Mode - Never Let Me Go

I'm waiting for your love
I know you'll want me
When your body's had enough
Your senses will see
There's only so much time
We have to play with
To waste it is a crime
We have so much to give

When uncertainty parts
You'll be ready to concede
It was plain from the start
You've been running from me
And I have been patient
I have been so calm
Bit my lips through the torment
Please fall into my arms

Never let me go
Never let me go

Watch our dreams unfold in colour
Underneath love's moon we'll wander
Never let me go
Never let me go

The angels will praise us
The world will seem right
We'll pull it out of the darkness
And into the light
We will be beacons
Shining so bright
Like stars in the darkness
For lovers at night

We will be beacons
Shining so bright
Like stars in the darkness
For lovers at night

Never let me go
Never let me go

Editors - Heart Attack

I couldn't look at you
Orbit my life like a satellite
Let out a battle cry
Angels are lost in the black and white

We were always meant for this
Shot through the dark, my reason to exist
Why?

My baby don’t wanna be
Near anyone when shit gets tight
Love is on fire again
Burn a cause in my arm and fight

We were always meant for this
Shot through the dark, my reason to exist
Why?

No one will love you more than I do
I can promise you that
And when your love breaks, I'm inside you
Like a heart attack
No one will love you more than I do
I can promise you that
And when your love breaks, I'm inside you
Like a heart attack

I wouldn’t answer straight
Mould my words till they sound alright
Who listens to us anyway?
My audience is you tonight

We were always meant for this
Shot through the dark, my reason to exist
Why?

No one will love you more than I do
I can promise you that
And when your love breaks, I'm inside you
Like a heart attack
No one will love you more than I do
I can promise you that
And when your love breaks, I'm inside you
Like a heart attack

We were always meant for this
Shot through the dark, my reason to exist
Why

No one will love you more than I do
I can promise you that
And when your love breaks, I'm inside you
Like a heart attack
No one will love you more than I do
I can promise you that
And when your love breaks, I'm inside you
Like a heart attack

No one will love you more than I do
No one will love you more than I do
No one will love you more than I do
No one will love you more than I do
No one will love you more than I do
No one will love you more than I do
No one will love you more than I do
No one will love you more than I do
No one will love you more than I do
No one will love you more than I do
No one will love you more than I do
No one will love you more than I do

The Cult - Give Me Mercy

I wish it were different
It all ends the same
Your savage heart
Has stolen my name
In a wilderness lost
You're so hard to tame
In the tides of this world
You're a victim of fate

Give me mercy
Love will find you
Give me mercy
A new language

I don't know
Which way to turn
Other worlds with offerings of joy
Watch the butcher's knife
In his trembling hand
The end of the species
The shimmering veil

Give me mercy
Love will find you
Give me mercy
A new language

Give me mercy
Love will find you
Give me mercy
A new language

Give me mercy
Love will find you
Give me mercy
A new language

Give me mercy
Love will find you, love will find you
Give me mercy
Love will find you, love will find you

James - It's Hot

It's hot enough within this bed
To melt our differences
Whoa, a leap of faith

This fiery love dissolves the edge
Creates a bridge
A leap of faith

It's hot inside the chrysalis
As cells create a dreamy bliss
A leap of faith and out of this
A floating kiss, life loves to exist

Hangover after the party
Whoa, a leap of faith
Hangover after the party
Whoa, a leap of faith

It's hot inside the chrysalis
As cells create a dreamy bliss
A leap of faith and out of this
A floating kiss, life loves to exist

It's hot inside the chrysalis
As cells create a dreamy bliss
A leap of faith and out of this
A floating kiss, life loves to exist

It's hot inside the chrysalis
As cells create a dreamy bliss
A leap of faith and out of this
A floating kiss, life loves to exist

Emma Ruth Rundle - Haunted Houses

Wither without the morning
Dogs of the dawning are always wanting
Follow in sleeping
Friends in the far room have stopped their speaking

Speaking in tongues
To whisper near
To hold so close and hold so dear
This Curse is old, passed through the years
The Tower, tall, is falling here

So keep distance from me

Don't say this house is haunted
This house is haunted like Hell on Earth for me
Don't say it's not what you wanted
The tears come flooding like holy water seas
Don't say this house not haunted
This house so haunted, it runs in the family
Don't say this house not haunted
This house so haunted, won't ever let go of me

Follow in dreaming
Our bodies empty, touching the ceiling
Hollow hands hold the other
Rose of the morning has lost her color
Loses the red inside my chest
The borrowed bone that binds the breast
This Curse is old and lasts the years
The Tower, tall, is falling here

So keep distance, keep your distance from me

Don't say this house is haunted
This house is haunted like Hell on Earth for me
Don't say it's not what you wanted
The tears come flooding like holy water seas
Don't say this house is haunted
It runs in the forever like blood in the family
Don't say it's not what you wanted
This house so haunted, won't ever let go of me
Don't say this house not haunted
This house is haunted like Hell on Earth for me
Don't say it's not what you wanted
This house so haunted, won't ever let go of me

Pixies - Vault Of Heaven

there in the vault of heaven
while trying to titrate
I ended up in another case
I went to 7 - 11
to try and get me straight
I ended up there in outer space
there in the vault of heaven
trying to titrate
I ended up in some dire straits
and that's OK

again to 7 - 11
'cause I think they're pretty great
I ended up here flat on my face
here in the vault of heaven
just trying to keep me straight
but I ended up still in outer space
here in the vault of heaven
trying to titrate
I ended up in some dire straits
but that's ok

The National - Deep End (Paul's In Pieces)

I'm going off the deep end
Barely sleeping
Ringing in my ears sounds like singing
It's the only thing I hear

I'm drowning out inside the sound

I can't stop myself from thinking about you all the time
I'm always trying to tune you out but I'm gonna let you in tonight

When the sound of your voice comes through it's hardly there
But it's all I care about

I'm drowning out inside the sound
I can't follow what you're saying, I don't bother to try

I'm going off the deep end
Barely sleeping
Ringing in my ears sounds like singing
It's the only thing I hear

I just cling to it. I just listen
I just cling to it. I just listen

It sounds like you're saying beautiful things to me
It sounds like you're setting me up for beautiful dreams

I'm going off the deep end
Barely sleeping
Ringing in my ears sounds like singing
It's the only thing I hear

I'm drowning out inside the sound
I'm drowning out inside the sound

I can't follow what you're saying
I don't bother to try
Little bits of beautiful things you would say while I was fading off

I just cling to it. I just listen
I just cling to it. I just listen

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Blacktop

Thunder lights the road
Blacktop
Rolling under God
Now we’re dancing close
One to one
As our bodies lock
One to one we sway
On our way home
One to one we sway
And all the pain
Flows
Open
Open open opened up

Oh as I was young and easy
In the mercy of his means
Time held me green and dying
Though I sang in my chains
Like the sea

One to one we sway
One to one home
One to one we sway
And all the pain
Flows
Flows

Hello
Hold on
Til the love is gone
Gone home

U2 - Stay (Faraway, So Close!) [Songs of Surrender version]

Green light, Seven Eleven,
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes.
You don't smoke, don't even want to.
Hey now, check your change.
Dressed up like a car crash
Your wheels are turnin' but you're upside down.
You say when he hits you, you don't mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive.
Oh, is that what it is?

Red lights, grey morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground.
A vampire or a victim
It depends on who's around.
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip synch to the talk shows.
And if you look, you look through me
And when you talk, you talk at me
And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing.

If I could stay, oh stay
If I could stay, if I could stay
If I could stay, and the night would be enough.

Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio.
With satellite television
You can go anywhere:
Miami, New Orleans
London, Belfast and Berlin.

And, if you listen, I can't call.
And, if you jump, you just might fall.
And, if you shout, I'll only hear you.

If I could stay, then the night would give you up
If I could stay, and the day would keep its trust
If I could stay, with the demons you drowned
Stay with the spirit I found
Stay, and the night would be enough

Three o’clock in the morning
It’s quiet, there’s no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground

Explosions In The Sky - The Fight

...

Björk - Ancestress

my skull is my cathedral
where this matrimort takes place
when i was a girl she sang for me
in falsetto, lullabies with sincerity
i thank her for her integrity

my ancestress’s clock is ticking
her once vibrant rebellion is fading
i am her hopekeeper
i make sure hope is there at all times

my ancestress has left all manners
her pulsating skin rebelling
the doctors she despised
placed a pacemaker inside her

when you’re out of time
how you look back changes
did you punish us for leaving?
are you sure we hurt you
was it just not “living”?

she has idiosyncratic sense of rhythm
dyslexia, the ultimate freeform
she invents words and adds syllables
handwriting, language all her own

i don’t have that story in my mouth
when you die, you bring with you
what you’ve given

the machine of her breathed all night
while she rested
revealed her resilience
and then it didn’t
you see with your own eyes
but hear with your mother’s
there’s fear of being absorbed by the other

by now we share the same flesh
as much as i tried to escape it
this is no mediocre debris
my ancestress
this is the odour of our final parting
those have been the perfumes of separation
for centuries
ancestress!

nature wrote this psalm
it expands this realm
translucent skin
let go of a cold palm
embalmed

U2 - Elevation

High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here,
At the corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse, you elevate my soul

I've lost all self-control
Been living like a mole
Now going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation

A star lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you could educate my mind
Explain all these controls
I can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation

A mole, living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation

Love, lift me out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true
I believe in you

A mole, living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...

Soap&Skin - Surrounded

surrounded by a shear
eye getting blear
while I cling
while I bring me down

fireless and fleet
in danger eat

surrounded

desire

surrounded by a shear, I
filled with tears
with mines

Sonic Youth - In & Out

...

dEUS - Love Breaks Down

Now the storm subsided
No more battle cries
Everything in its place
Or nearby

And as I turn into sand
And you have become myth
I plan to build with my hands
So I can touch it

When love breaks down it
Don’t make a sound it
It won’t be here, when you awaken

When love breaks down it
Don’t hang around
It gave you time enough to take it
You were willing to lose
And I was faking a win
A tooth for a tooth
That is just how it was then

What you’re putting out there
Is coming back you see
If you let it be said
You let it be

When love breaks down it
Don’t make a sound it
It fades away, until you see it

When love breaks down, it
Don’t fuck around, it
It gave you time enough to give it

Now there is nothing more to say
Nothing sounds better anyway
This isn’t what it’s built for

You better stop
Before

It breaks down, yeah
Just when you found it

Beastie Boys - Live Wire

I know where you got to be going but you don't know why
I see things I ought not to know but I can't help life
You never knew my heart for you was monster size

You're a live wire
You're a live wire

Let me know when you wanna check out for the all time high
My man told me long hellos and short good byes
But you are something else, I love you, please don't die

You're a live wire
You're a live wire

U2 - All I Want Is You [Songs Of Surrender version]

You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want your story to remain untold.
All the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you.

You say you'll give me a highway with no-one on it
Treasure, just to look upon it
All the riches in the night.

You say you'll give me eyes in the moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest.
All the promises we make, from the cradle to the grave
When all I need is you.

You say you want your love to work out right
To last with me through the night.

You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold.
All the promises we break, from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Sunday's Slave

Sunday’s got a slave
Monday’s got one too
Sunday’s got a slave
Monday’s got one too
Our sufferings are countless
Our pleasures are a motley few
Spend all day digging my grave
Now go get Sunday’s slave

Tuesday sleeps in the stable
Wednesday’s in chains
Tuesday gathers up the crumbs under the table
Wednesday dare not complain
My heart has collapsed on the tracks of a run-a-way train
Just whisper his name
And here comes Sunday’s slave

The hands in the stable are willing and able to pay
If you feel at loss, man, just who is the boss-man
Ask the blood on one of its bad days
For his nerve is to serve but the service is a mockery
He insists that he piss in your fist
But he still takes the money anyway
The master’s a bastard
But don’t tell Sunday’s slave

Thursday’s angered the master
O.K. so Friday’s gonna pay
Thursday’s angered the master
Yeah, so Friday’s gonna pay
One night on the rack and he’s back saddling up Saturday
You can only whisper his name
But not on Sundays
Never on Sundays
O Not on Sunday’s slave

Moby feat. P.T. Banks - When It’s Cold I’d Like To Die [Resound NYC version]

Where were you when I was lonesome?
Locked away with freezing cold
Someone flying only stolen
I can't tell, this light's so old

I don't wanna swim the ocean
I don't wanna fight the tide
I don't wanna swim forever
When it's cold I'd like to die

What was that my sweet, sweet nothing?
I can't hear you through the fog
If I holler let me go
If I falter let me know

I don't wanna swim the ocean
I don't wanna fight the tide
I don't wanna swim forever
When it's cold I'd like to die

I don't wanna swim forever
I don't wanna fight the tide
I don't wanna swim the ocean
When it's cold I'd like to die

Blur - Ong Ong

(La la la)

I got on a boat on a hot sunny day
To get out of this town
'Cause the tarmac was melting and the people seemed to sway
Stuck in the underground

To the isle of the black kites and the wishing tree
I wanna be with you
On the slow boat to Lantau through misty seas
I wanna be with you

I pulled out the harbour with precession behind
And I'm feeling the love of you
So you better get to charge until I see you again
You know just what to do

If you're caught up in the gales on the junk boat sea
I wanna be with you
Whit the pilgrims the mountains in the high trapeze
I wanna be with you

If you're the landlord, the social on P.S.T
I wanna be with you
On an island of rainclouds and verdant seas
I will be there with you

Oh
(La la la)

Joy Division - Ceremony [Demo]

This is why it's called unnerving
Would you say the same old story?
This is why the wheels are turning
Turn away and turn again this time
Listen now the savior's calling
Try again and we will be here
Travelled fast but now I'm stopping
Think again and change its way this time

Oh, I'll break them all no mercy shown, heaven knows I've got to get somewhere
Watching her, a sinking ship
The times she cried, too frail to wake this time

I'll break them all no mercy shown, heaven knows it's got to be somewhere
Avenues all lined with trees, picture me and then you start watching
Watching forever
Watching forever

Everything, let it be so
For everything, let it be so
Let it be so, let it be so

L7 - Wargasm

Wargasm, Wargasm, one, two, three
Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the amputee
Masturbate, watch it on TV
Crocodile tears for the refugee

Wargasm, Wargasm, one, two, three
smutty bloody pictures, ecstasy
Blue balls waiting impatiently
From Alcatraz to Lady Liberty.

Body bags and dropping bombs,
The pentagon knows how to turn us on.
Wargasm Wargasm, one two three
People, people, ecstasy
wave those flags high in the air
As long as it takes place over there.

Wargasm
Wargasm
Wargasm
Wargasm

Body bags and dropping bombs,
the pentagon knows how to turn us, turn us on
Wargasm
Turn us on
Wargasm

Suede - The Only Way I Can Love You

I’m not the kind of person who never feels uncertain
So many ways to do what i do wrong
My love has many faces, secret, vicious places,
And all of them are there for you

All day long i’ll hide from the sun i’ll feel like something’s just begun and i’ll love you the only way i can love you
All day long i’l hesitate i’ll turn off the light and stay awake but i’ll love you the only way i can love you

And if i disappoint you, just know i wrote this for you
another way to do what i do wrong
i pretend i don’t adore you
but I’d take a bullet for you
yes it’s a sweet and bitter love

All day long i’ll hide from the sun i’ll feel like something’s just begun and i’ll love you the only way i can love you
All day long i’ll hesitate I’ll turn off the light   and stay awake but i’ll love you the only way i can love you

Pearl Jam - Brother [With Vocals]

Hand over my face
I am related to my enemy
Our house on fire and big brother
Brother tried to put the blame on me

Oh, little sister, you and me can rise above
Oh, ain't no brother - back to back to back, oh better back on

You use the flag as a bandage
Oh my big brother's a pocket hypocrisy
In the closet, my pleasures 'cause big brother
Brother don't wanna just let me be

Oh, little sister, you and me can rise above
Oh, ain't no brother - back to back to back, oh better back on
Oh, little sister, you and me can rise above
Oh, ain't no brother - back to back to back, oh better back on

Hey now
Hey now
Hey now
Hey now

In my mind there's a clearing
Rose gardens open grey skies
Oh no one's hurting
And I'm joying
I'm flying, I'm flying

Oh, back to back to back, oh better back on
Back to back to back, back come on
Back to back to back to back to back, back

Hey now
Big brother, brother, brother
Hey now
Brother
Hey now
