Have You Forgotten?
by Darryl Worley

I hear people saying we don't need this war.
I say there's some things worth fighting for.
What about our freedom and this piece of ground.
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down.
Now they say we don't realize the mess we're getting in.
Before you start your preaching let me ask you this my friend.

Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away.
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell.
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden.
Have you forgotten?

There, of course, being no demonstrable tie between bin Laden and Iraq. :rolleyes:

:m: Peace.

Oh yes, of course.

I haven't forgotten. I haven't forgotten that my first thought, upon seeing the pictures at the Seattle Times website, was, Well ... somebody finally did it. I think I even laughed a, "Ho-o-o-o-ly shit!"

For me the demonstrable connection between Al Qaeda's attack against the United States and our invasion of Iraq is that we all should have seen both of them coming.

In January, 2001, I made the joke that we would be broke and at war by year's end.

It sounded like a joke at the time.

Tiassa :cool:

goofy i thought better of you

for someone who accused ME of throwing stuff out with no proof when i was a newbi i would have expected you of ALL people to back up your statments with PROOF not sarcasam

where IS the proof they were linked BEFORE you pushed sadam to the wall?

I haven't a clue as to your point. Prove something I did not say?

My statement is that there is no proven link between bin Laden
and Iraq, so a song trying to use that message to hype people's
emotions is merely an example the artist either swallowing the
government line, or capitalizing on a tragic event in the US.

There is no sarcasm. Just a statement of fact.

:m: Peace.

"Keeper of the Seven Keys", Hellowe'en (http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Pit/8505/songs/keeper2.html)

KEEPER OF THE SEVEN KEYS
Music & Lyrics: Weikath


Make the people
Hold each other's hands
And fill their hearts with truth
You made up your mind
So do as divined

Put on your armour
Ragged after fights
Hold up your sword
You're leaving the light
Make yourself ready
For the Lords of the Dark
They'll watch your way
So be cautious, quiet, and hark

You hear them whispering
In the crowns of the trees
You're whirling 'round
But your eyes don't agree
Will 'o' the wisps
Misguiding your path
You can't throw a curse
Without takin' their wrath

Watch out for the seas of hatred and sin
Or all us people forget what we've been
Our only hope's your victory
Kill that Satan who won't let us be-- Kill!

You're The Keeper of the Seven Keys
That lock up the Seven Seas
And the Seer of Visions said before he went blind:
"Hide them from demons and rescue mankind
Or the world we're all in will soon be sold
To the throne of the evil payed with Lucifer's gold"

You can feel cold sweat
Running down your neck
And the dwarfs of falseness
Throw mud at your back

Guided by spells
Of the old Seer's hand
You're suffering pain
Only steel can stand

Stay well on your way and follow the sign
Fulfill your own promise and do what's divined
The Seven Seas are far away
Placed in the Valley of Dust, Heat and Sway

You're The Keeper of the Seven Keys
That lock up the Seven Seas
And the Seer of Visions said before he went blind:
"Hide them from demons and rescue mankind
Or the world we're all in will soon be sold
To the throne of the evil payed with Lucifer's gold"

Throw the first key into the Sea of Hate
Throw the second key into the Sea of Fear
Throw the third key into the Sea of Senselessness
And make the people hold each other's hands
The fourth key belongs into the Sea of Greed
And the fifth into the Sea of Ignorance

Disease, disease, disease my friend
For this whole world's in Devil's hand
Disease, disease, disease my friend
Throw the key or you may die!

On a mound at the shore of the last sea
He's sitting, fixing your sight
With his high iron voice causing sickness
He is playing you out with delight

"Man who do you just think you are?
A silly bum with seven stars
Don't throw the key or you will see
Dimensions cruel as they can be"
Don't let him suck off your power
Throw the key...!

An earthquake, squirting fire, bursting ground
Satan's screaming, and earth swallowing him away!

You're The Keeper of the Seven Keys
You locked up the Seven Seas
And the Seer of Visions can now rest in peace
There ain't no more demons and no more disease
And mankind, live up, you're free again
Yes the tyrant is dead, he is gone, overthrown
You have given our souls back to light

oh sorry goofy

thought u were going the other way

my apologies

Please realize that the thoughts expressed in "Have you forgotten?" and "Courtesy of the red, white and blue (The Angry American)" are the thoughts of perhaps most Americans.

WCT has been used/missused so much that what ever meaning it had is no more.
subtract it from all the deaths come from US sponsered dictators and rebellions etc. And when we reach 0 perhaps it can count again.

p.s.
by the way Bush is controled by Uncle Bob...

Yes its a shame to off seen the tragedy of 9/11 as contreversial as that event itself may of been, to of been so used and abused by the current administration with the effect of taking all credibility and true sympathy for that event out of it and dragging it to a slow and horrible death, then throwing away the worlds sympathy and support and slapping us back in our faces instead....how could one administration make such a mess of something.

Please realize that the thoughts expressed in "Have you forgotten?" and "Courtesy of the red, white and blue (The Angry American)" are the thoughts of perhaps most Americans.Given that country music is, generally speaking, intentionally idiot-simple, that's kind of scary.

I tend to think the idiocy of the "average American" is something that can be cured. I could be wrong; and if you're right about those stupid songs, then I'm as close to knowing for a fact that my faith in people is wrong as I've ever come.

I feel like being sarcastic and saying, "Please realize that 2 Live Crew only wrote love songs."
