    What are your favorite lyrics?
    Killah Priest in Tai Chi:
    Expand your mind
    Seek and you shall find
    Walkin through the penile glands, like it was a unfathered man
    Knowledge is the key to the mind which is a mysterious doorway
    through a long dark hallway
    Use your concious as a compass to avoid bein conquered
    by nonsense, use your subconcious as a map
    Once it's time to head back use your food for thought
    and leave breadtracks
    Now we can see the third eye, swift as you burn fly
    You need common sense as a detour
    Up ahead there lies three doors for you to see more
    you might have to meditate to the soft melodies from a keyboard
    Understandin is your flashlight
    It reflects the windows to your past life
    No psychiatrics could raid you from off the mattress
    As you fall deeper, and it's hypnotized you better read my lips
    cause that's the guide, out the hallways of negative
    which is always competitive; therefore
    you must never let it live
    Seek and you shall find
    Expand the mind, seek and you shall find

    Immortal Technique- The prophecy:
    So you're the motherfucker they call....Immortal Technique.
    What the fuck make you so special nigga?
    Huh... what the fuck do you do?

    I calculate planet alignment like Mayan astronomy
    Discovering atrocities worst than Aristotle
    Subjecting children to sodomy
    Your theory of the galaxy is primitive like telome
    The truth about the universe stuck up like Aztec pottery
    Unpredictable results like experimental psychology
    I stomp the streets with emcee's beneath my feet in colonies
    But presentation and spirit revolve around autonomy
    Searching for monogamy
    And cutting fake bitches out of my mind like a lobotomy
    So obviously I'm not gonna be here to play games
    Walked the top of the world and leave the arctic circle in flames
    Battle the beast and false prophet predicted in the King James
    I give a fuck about your emcee name I don't admire you
    Only by dental records will you be identifiable
    Cause the future is not reliable
    Remember when rap was not economically viable
    Comparable to what motherfuckers think of me
    I might be nobody but wait till I'm together like a symphony
    Resounding sound that will continue infinitely
    Angel of death punishing all those who live in infamy
    And shine so far away from you
    You'll never get a glimpse of me
    Attempts to extinguish me don't even bother me none
    Like retarded kids throwing ice cubes at the sun
    A victory against Immortal Technique will never be done
    Just degrees of losing it every second your adding one
    Some niggas dream of pushing kilos but I drop tons
    With more facts and formulas and philosophical logic
    Then a basement full of scientists puffing on chronic
    Dipped in mycin potassium cyanide and liquid bubonic
    And use it as a sonic one to find the spawn of the demonic
    Screaming like onyx is of absolutely no consequence
    The poison is dense enough to clog up your arteries
    Mercy is not a part of me
    I cause you bodily injury permanently be simply verbally murdering me
    Is inconceivable cause of the unbelievable evil injected inside
    The blood stream of my people
    And redemption is not located under a church steeple
    The feeble and the meek in soul just like the technique
    Will inherit the earth, But the earth will be weak
    Mother earth in her decrepit terminal illness physique
    The year three thousand is bleak no happily ever after
    Just death following the forth right disaster, a legacy of bastards
    With plastic explosives your futures been eroded
    Cause you forgot that when your free it's multiplied indefinitely
    By the struggle that be the struggle I see
    To socialistically united the third world countries
    Expose hypocrisy in Americas democracy
    Sloppily obsessed with stopping me cause I speak prophecy
    Trample and dismantle your capitalist philosophy
    The same way I stomp the conquering rap monopoly
    And I'm not a fucking prophet
    But that's the fucking prophecy

    "Seize The Day"

    Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
    It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

    I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
    But I'm too young to worry
    These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past

    I found you here, now please just stay for a while
    I can move on with you around
    I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
    I'd do anything for a smile, holding you 'til our time is done
    We both know the day will come, but I don't want to leave you

    I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
    But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)

    Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
    It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

    Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in
    No longer needed here so where do we go?
    Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death?
    But girl, what if there is no eternal life?

    I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
    But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)

    Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
    It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

    Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here
    Please tell me what we have is real

    So, what if I never hold you, yeah, or kiss your lips again?
    Woooaaah, so I never want to leave you and the memories of us to see
    I beg don't leave me

    Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
    It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

    Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here
    Please tell me what we have is real

    Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day [x2 then continues in the background]
    I stand here alone
    Falling away from you, no chance to get back home
    I stand here alone
    Falling away from you, no chance to get back home

    DJ Sammy - Heaven

    Baby you're all that I want.
    When you're lying here in my arms
    I'm finding it hard to believe
    We're in heaven.

    Oh, thinking about all our younger years,
    There was only you and me,
    We were young and wild and free.
    Now nothing can take you away from me.
    We’ve been down that road before,
    But that's over now.
    You keep me coming back for more.

    Baby you're all that I want.
    When you're lying here in my arms
    I'm finding it hard to believe
    We're in heaven.

    And love is all that I need
    And I found it there in your heart.
    It isn't too hard to see
    We're in heaven.

    Now, nothing could change what you mean to me.
    There's a lot that I could say
    But just hold me now,
    Cause our love will light the way.

    Baby you're all that I want.
    When you're lying here in my arms
    I'm finding it hard to believe
    We're in heaven.

    And love is all that I need
    And I found it there in your heart.
    It isn't too hard to see
    We're in heaven.

    Now our dreams are coming true.
    Through the good times and the bad
    I'll be standing there by you.

    (We’re in heaven.)

    And love is all that I need
    And I found it there in your heart.
    It isn't too hard to see
    We're in heaven.

    la da da..woah..woah..woah..la da da..we're in heaven. *puts up mike* <bows for standing ovation>

    Leaving Jesusland- NOFX


    We call the heartland not very smartland, IQ's are very low but threat levels are high
    They got a mandate, they don't want man-dates, they got so many hates and people to despise

    In the dust bowl, cerebral black hole, the average weight is well over 200 pounds
    I hate to generalize, but have you seen the thighs, most haven't seen their genitalia in a while

    Maybe that's why they're so pissed at us
    They're all jealous we're having better sex

    Queers, transgends, and lesbians, vegans and vegetarians
    All you brownish red and yellow ones come out and join us on the coast

    No longer svelte, they gotta punch new holes in the Bible belt
    They've blown out the fire under the melting pot, the red blood of America is starting to clot
    No compromise, no sight thru others' eyes, they're just flies spreading pieces of shit
    You gotta emigrate, stop living in hate, what makes this country great is dwelling on either side

    They don't want visitors in Jesusland
    They want life bland and canned in the fatherland

    Darkness, Darkness - by Solas

    Darkness, darkness, be my pillow
    Take my hand and let me sleep
    In the coolness of your shadow
    In the silence of your deep
    Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome
    Is the day that brings me here
    I have felt the edge of silence
    I have known the depths of fear

    Darkness, darkness, hide the yearning
    For the things that cannot be
    Keep my mind from constant turning
    Towards the things I cannot see

    Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome
    Is the day that brings me here
    I have felt the edge of silence
    I have known the depths of fear
    Darkness, darkness, be my blanket
    Cover me with the endless night
    Take away the pain of knowing
    Fill the emptiness of right

    Darkness, darkness, be my pillow
    Take my hand and let me sleep
    In the coolness of your shadow
    In the silence of your deep

    Darkness, darkness, hide the yearnings
    For the things that cannot be
    Keep my mind from constant turning
    Towards the things I cannot see
    Darkness, darkness, be my blanket
    Cover me with the endless night
    Take away the pain of knowing
    Fill the emptiness of right




    Whack Fol The Diddle (God Bless England) - by Peadar Kearney

    I'll sing you a song of peace and love
    Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day
    To the land that reigns all lands above
    Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day
    May peace and plenty be her share
    Who kept our homes from want and care
    Ah, but God bless England did our prayer
    Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day

    Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day
    So we say "Hip Hooray!"
    Come and listen while we pray
    Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day

    When we were savage fierce and wild
    Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day
    She came like a mother to her child
    Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day
    Gently raised us from the slime
    Kept our hands from hellish crime
    And sent us to Heaven in her own good time
    Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day

    Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day
    So we say "Hip Hooray!"
    Come and listen while we pray
    Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day

    Our fathers oft were naughty boys
    Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day
    For pikes and guns are dangerous toys
    Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day
    From Bearna Baol to Peter's Hill
    We made poor England weep her fill
    Ah, but ould Brittania she loved us still
    Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day

    Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day
    So we say "Hip Hooray!"
    Come and listen while we pray
    Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day

    Oh, Irishmen forget the past
    Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day
    And think of the time that's coming fast
    Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day
    When we will all be civilized
    Neat and clean and well advised
    Oh, won't Mother England be surprised?
    Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day

    Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day
    So we say "Hip Hooray!"
    Come and listen while we pray
    Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day

    Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day
    So we say "Hip Hooray!"
    Come and listen while we pray
    Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day

    Frühlingstraum (A Dream of Springtime), by Schubert.

    Its about a guy who fall in love with a girl he can never get, because the
    girl just lives in his dream.

    Here is the original lyrics in German, followed by its translation in English.


    Frühlingstraum

    Ich träumte von bunten Blumen,
    So wie sie wohl blühen im Mai;
    Ich träumte von grünen Wiesen,
    Von lustigem Vogelgeschrei.

    Und als die Hähne krähten,
    Da ward mein Auge wach;
    Da war es kalt und finster,
    Es schrieen die Raben vom Dach.

    Doch an den Fensterscheiben,
    Wer malte die Blätter da?
    Ihr lacht wohl über den Träumer,
    Der Blumen im Winter sah?

    Ich träumte von Lieb' um Liebe,
    Von einer schönen Maid,
    Von Herzen und von Küssen,
    Von [Wonn']1 und Seligkeit.

    Und als die Hähne kräten,
    Da ward mein Herze wach;
    Nun sitz ich hier alleine
    Und denke dem Traume nach.

    Die Augen schließ' ich wieder,
    Noch schlägt das Herz so warm.
    Wann grünt ihr Blätter am Fenster?
    Wann halt' ich mein Liebchen im Arm?

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    A dream of springtime


    I dreamt of colorful flowers
    Such as bloom in May;
    I dreamt of green meadows,
    Of merry bird songs.

    And when the roosters crowed,
    My eyes awoke;
    It was cold and dark,
    The ravens were shrieking on the roof.

    But there on the window panes,
    Who painted those leaves?
    Do you laugh at the dreamer,
    Who saw flowers in winter?

    I dreamt of requited love,
    Of a beautiful girl,
    Of hearts and of kisses,
    Of bliss and happiness.

    And when the roosters crowed,
    My heart awoke.
    Now I sit here alone,
    And think about my dream.

    I shut my eyes again,
    My heart still beats warmly.
    When will you leaves on the window turn green?
    When will I hold my beloved in my arms?

    Goodbye


    Listen little child.
    There will come a day,
    When you will be able,
    Able to say.
    Nevermind the pain,
    Or the agrivation.
    She knows there's a better way,
    for you and me to be.

    Look for the rainbow in every storm.
    Fly like an angel,
    Heaven sent to me.

    Chorus:
    Goodbye my friend (I know you're gone, you said you're gone, but I can still feel you here)
    It's not the end (You gotta keep it strong before the pain turns into fear)

    So glad we made it,
    Time will never change it,
    No, no, no

    No, no, no, no

    Just a little girl,
    Big imagination,
    never letting no one take it away.
    Went into the world, (into the world)
    What a revelation.
    She found there's a better way for you and me to be.

    Look for the rainbow in every storm,
    Find out for certain,
    Love's gonna be there for you,
    You'll always be someone's baby.

    Chorus:
    Goodbye my friend (I know you're gone, you said you're gone, but I can still feel you here)
    It's not the end (You gotta keep it strong before the pain turns into fear)

    So glad we made it,
    Time will never change it,
    No, no, no

    No, no, no, no

    Bridge:
    The times when we would play about,
    The way we use to scream and shout.
    We never drempt you'd go your own sweet way.

    Look for the rainbow in every storm,
    Find out for certain,
    Love's gonna be there for you,
    You'll always be someone's baby.

    Chorus:
    Goodbye my friend (I know you're gone, you said you're gone, but I can still feel you here)
    It's not the end (You gotta keep it strong before the pain turns into fear)

    So glad we made it,
    Time will never change it,
    No, no, no

    No, no, no, no

    No no no no - you know it's time to say goodbye No no no no - and don't
    forget you can rely No no no no - you know it's time to say goodbye No
    no no no - and don't forget on me you can rely No no no no - I will help,
    help you on your way No no no no - I will be with you every day

    Is this the real life-
    Is this just fantasy-
    Caught in a landslide-
    No escape from reality-
    Open your eyes
    Look up to the skies and see-
    Im just a poor boy,i need no sympathy-
    Because Im easy come,easy go,
    A little high,little low,
    Anyway the wind blows,doesnt really matter to me,
    To me

    Mama,just killed a man,
    Put a gun against his head,
    Pulled my trigger,now hes dead,
    Mama,life had just begun,
    But now Ive gone and thrown it all away-
    Mama ooo,
    Didnt mean to make you cry-
    If Im not back again this time tomorrow-
    Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters-

    Too late,my time has come,
    Sends shivers down my spine-
    Bodys aching all the time,
    Goodbye everybody-Ive got to go-
    Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
    Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)
    I dont want to die,
    I sometimes wish Id never been born at all-

    I see a little silhouetto of a man,
    Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-
    Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
    Galileo,galileo,
    Galileo galileo
    Galileo figaro-magnifico-
    But Im just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
    Hes just a poor boy from a poor family-
    Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
    Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
    Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-
    Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go
    Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go
    Will not let you go-let me go
    Will not let you go let me go
    No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
    Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-
    Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-

    So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-
    So you think you can love me and leave me to die-
    Oh baby-cant do this to me baby-
    Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-

    Nothing really matters,
    Anyone can see,
    Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,

    Any way the wind blows....

    Im afraid to post MODEST MOUSE lyrics but here i go....

    Talking Shit About A Pretty Sunset


    Oh noose tied myself in, tied myself too tight
    Looking kind of anxious in your cross armed stance
    Like a bad tempered prom queen at a homecoming dance
    And I claim I'm not excited with my life any more
    So I blame this town, this job, these friends
    The truth is it's myself
    And I'm trying to understand myself
    and pinpoint where i am
    By the time I get things figured out
    I've change the whole damn plan
    Oh noose tied myself in, tied myself too tight

    Talking shit about a pretty sunset
    Blanketing opinions that i'll probably reget soon
    I've changed my mind so much I cant even trust it
    My mind changed me so much I cant even trust myself


    That last part speaks to me on such a level i cant even put it into words, i think it will affect you too.
