    mine is from Mike Oldfield
    Posion Arrows

    not so much the texts, bu when it morphs with music it is beautiful




    Silence in the air.
    Is anybody there?
    Searching every sound.
    Walking on quiet ground

    [ Chorus ]

    Somebody's out to get you!
    Hiding in shadows - poison arrows.
    Somebody's out to break you!
    Hiding in narrows - Poison arrows

    When you gonna break?
    Watching every move you make
    And everything you do,
    Evil eyes'll be on you.

    [ Repeat Chorus ]

    Don't give in, don't come any closer,
    No sir!
    Keep running, coming in closer,
    Closer.

    Don't give in, don't come any closer,
    No sir!
    Keep running, coming in closer,
    Closer.

    What you gonna do?
    Time is running out on you.
    Anywhere you choose,
    Anyway, you're gonna lose.

    [ Repeat Chorus ]

    [ Repeat Chorus ]

    Sombody's out to get you.

    i dont have a fav. but i looked through kazaa for which song i couldn't live without.

    PAINT IT BLACK
    (M. Jagger/K. Richards)

    I see a red door and I want it painted black
    No colors anymore I want them to turn black
    I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
    I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

    I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
    With flowers and my love both never to come back
    I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
    Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day

    I look inside myself and see my heart is black
    I see my red door and it has been painted black
    Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
    It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

    No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
    I could not foresee this thing happening to you

    If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
    My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

    I see a red door and I want it painted black
    No colors anymore I want them to turn black
    I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
    I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

    Hmm, hmm, hmm,...

    I wanna see it painted, painted black
    Black as night, black as coal
    I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
    I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
    Yeah!

    The Man Of La Mancha

    Hear me now, Oh, thou bleak and unbearable world
    Thou art base and debauched as can be
    And a knight with his banners all bravely unfurled
    Now hurls down his gauntlet to thee!

    I am I, Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha
    My destiny calls and I go
    And the wild winds of fortune shall carry me onward
    Oh, withersoever they blow
    Withersoever they blow
    Onward to glory I go

    [instrumental break]

    Hear me heathens and wizards and serpents of sin
    All your dastardly doings are past
    For a holy endeavor is now to begin
    And virtue shall triumph at last.

    I am I, Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha.
    A name all the world soon will know
    I commend all my soul to the wild winds of fortune
    Oh withersoever they blow
    Withersoever they blow
    Onward to glory I go!


    The Impossible Dream (The Quest)

    To dream the impossible dream
    To fight the unbeatable foe
    To bear with unbearable sorrow
    To run where the brave dare not go.

    To right the unrightable wrong
    To be better far than you are
    To try when your arms are too weary
    To reach the unreachable star

    This is my quest, to follow that star,
    No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
    To be willing to give when there's no more to give
    To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live

    And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest
    That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest

    And the world will be better for this
    That one man scorned and covered with scars
    Still strove with his last ounce of courage
    To reach the unreachable star.

    there is something that binds me with this song

    SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT - NIRVANA

    Load up on guns bring your friends
    It's fun to lose and to pretend
    She's over bored, self-assured
    Oh no, I know a dirty word

    hello, hello, hello, how low (4x)

    (CHORUS)
    With the lights out,
    it's less dangerous
    Here we are now, entertain us
    I feel stupid and contagious
    Here we are now, entertain us
    A mulato
    An albino
    A mosquito
    My Libido
    Yay

    I'm worst at what I do best
    And for this gift I feel blessed
    Our little group has always been
    And always will until the end

    Hello, hello, hello, how low (4x)

    CHORUS

    SOLO
    And I forget just why I taste
    Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
    I found it hard, it was hard to find
    Oh well, whatever, nevermind

    Hello, hello, hello, how low (4x)

    CHORUS

    A denial (9x)

    Oh Cthulhu, this is a tough one. First choice:

    staring at the sea
    will she come?
    is there hope for me
    after all is said and done
    anything at any price
    all of this for you
    all the spoils of a wasted life
    all of this for you
    all the world has closed her eyes
    tired faith all worn and thin
    for all we could have done
    and all that could have been

    ocean pulls me close
    and whispers in my ear
    the destiny I've chose
    all becoming clear
    the currents have their say
    the time is drawing near
    washes me away
    makes me disappear

    I descend from grace
    in arms of undertow
    I will take my place
    in the great below

    I can still feel you
    even so far away

    I also like this very much:
    oh...

    I feel like I've been locked up tight
    For a century of lonely nights;
    Waiting for someone
    To release me.
    You're licking your lips and blowing kisses my way,
    But that don't mean I'm gonna give it away;
    Baby, baby, baby.
    (Baby, baby, baby.)

    Oh whoa...
    My body's saying let's go.
    Oh whoa...
    But my heart is saying no.

    If you wanna be with me, baby, there's a price you pay.
    I'm a genie in a bottle, you gotta rub me the right way.
    If you wanna be with me, I can make your wish come true.
    You gotta make a big impression, I gotta like what you do.

    I'm a genie in a bottle, baby.
    Gotta rub me the right way, honey.
    I'm a genie in a bottle, baby,
    Come, come, come and let me out.

    The music's playing and the lights' down low,
    One more dance and then we're good to go;
    Waiting for someone
    Who needs me.
    My heart is beating at the speed of light,
    But that don't mean it's gotta be tonight;
    Baby, baby, baby.
    (Baby, baby, baby)

    Oh whoa...
    My body's saying let's go.
    Oh whoa...
    But my heart is saying no.

    If you wanna be with me, baby, there's a price you pay.
    I'm a genie in a bottle, you gotta rub me the right way.
    If you wanna be with me, I can make your wish come true.
    Come and set me free, baby, and I'll be with you.

    I'm a genie in a bottle, baby.
    Gotta rub me the right way, honey.
    I'm a genie in a bottle, baby,
    Come, come, come and let me out.

    Oh whoa...
    My body's saying let's go.
    Oh whoa...
    But my heart is saying no.

    If you wanna be with me, baby, there's a price you pay.
    I'm a genie in a bottle, you gotta rub me the right way.
    If you wanna be with me, I can make your wish come true.
    You gotta make a big impression, I gotta like what you do.

    If you wanna be with me, baby, there's a price you pay.
    I'm a genie in a bottle, you gotta rub me the right way.
    If you wanna be with me, I can make your wish come true.
    Come and set me free, baby, and I'll be with you.

    I'm a genie in a bottle, baby,
    Come, come, come and let me out.


    *Xev keeps a straight face for a moment then bursts into howls of laughter*

    Weak, Skunk Anansie

    Lost in time I can't count the words
    I said when I thought they went unheard
    All of those harsh thoughts so unkind
    'cos I wanted you

    And now I sit here I'm all alone
    So here sits a bloody mess, tears fly home
    A circle of angels, deep in war
    'cos I wanted you

    Weak as I am, no tears for you
    Weak as I am, no tears for you
    Deep as I am, I'm no ones fool
    Weak as I am

    So what am I now I'm love last home
    I'm all of the soft words I once owned
    If I opened my he heart, there'd be no space for air
    'cos I wanted you

    Weak as I am, no tears for you
    Weak as I am, no tears for you
    Deep as I am, I'm no ones fool
    Weak as I am

    In this tainted soul
    In this weak young heart
    Am I too much for you

    In this tainted soul
    In this weak young heart
    Am I too much for you

    In this tainted soul
    In this weak young heart
    Am I too much for you

    Weak as I am
    Weak as I am
    Weak as I am
    Weak as I am, am, am

    Weak as I am
    Am I to much for you
    Weak as I am
    Am I to much for you
    Weak as I am
    Am I to much for you
    Weak as I am
    Am I to much for you
    Weak as I am

    Links Zwo, Drei, Vier - Rammstein

    Kann man Herzen brechen
    können Herzen sprechen
    kann man Herzen quälen
    kann man Herzen stehlen

    Sie wollen mein Herz am rechten Fleck
    doch seh ich dann nach unten weg
    da schlägt es links

    Können Herzen singen
    kann ein Herz zerspringen
    können Herzen rein sein
    kann ein Herz aus Stein sein

    Sie wollen mein Herz am rechten Fleck
    doch seh ich dann nach unten weg
    da schlägt es links
    links zwo drei vier

    Kann man Herzen fragen
    ein Kind darunter tragen
    kann man es verschenken
    mit dem Herzen denken

    Sie wollen mein Herz am rechten Fleck
    doch seh ich dann nach unten weg
    da schlägt es in der linken Brust
    der Neider hat es schlecht gewußt

    Links zwo drei vier


    Translation

    Can you break hearts
    can hearts speak
    can you torture hearts
    can you steal hearts

    They want my heart on the right spot
    but then I look below
    it beats left there

    Can hearts sing
    can a heart burst
    can hearts be pure
    can a heart be made of stone

    They want my heart on the right spot
    but then I look below
    it beats left there
    left two three four left *

    Can you ask hearts
    (can you) carry a child under yourself
    can you give it away
    (can you) think with your heart

    They want my heart on the right spot
    but then I look below
    it beats there in the left breast
    the envious have not known it well

    Left two three four left

    The Wind Cries Mary
    -The late great Mr. Hendrix

    After all the jacks are in their boxes
    and the clowns have all gone to bed
    You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
    footsteps dressed in red
    And the wind whispers Mary
    A broom is drearily sweeping
    up the broken pieces of yesterdays life
    Somewhere a queen is weeping
    Somewhere a king has no wife
    And the wind, it cries Mary
    The traffic lights, they turn, uh, blue tomorrow
    and shine their emptiness down on my bed
    The tiny island sags down stream
    'cause the life that lived is,
    is dead
    And the wind screams Mary
    Uh-will the wind ever remember
    the names it has blow in the past?
    And with this crutch, its old age, and its wisdom
    it whispers no, this will be the last
    And the wind cries Mary

    Scarecrow


    I am the everything the all knowing
    The omnipotent one
    I watch the fields I do not feel
    I circumnavigate everyone
    I am the scarecrow, alone and disconnected
    You stare right past me undetected
    I am only here when you expect it
    And feel a sadness undescribable
    I hange here motionless holding a bible
    No revival
    I died and became apathy
    Then married vacancy
    Then moved my children to the tundra of complacency
    I do not exist in your world
    I've burned the bridges, I've cut the life line
    Now all I have left is my mind
    Which judges all of you
    Analyzes your dumb philosophies
    Inwonderment of how you all have ruined your ecology
    But you do not hear for I am to you only but nothingness
    And I can't understand why I'm the only one that feels like this
    It's all piss, I flee
    Out of all the people that have left me
    The one I miss most, is me

    I am the scarecrow and I am so alone

    And I've seen thirty years of down time
    The face of a clown, a stick for a spine
    From a grandiose small town mind
    And crows fly all around mine
    They shit on my shoulder
    I got no voice, no mobility
    I get older, heated but colder
    No yield in my field, fuck my opinion
    I stare at your houses in the distance
    Silent persistence at night windows glisten
    I got nothing to say cause no one would listen anyway
    So I remain against the grain
    I've seen sunny days with rain
    Busted knuckles and pain and never complained
    Dirt is my domain, my view is plain
    But I'm invisible, sound mystical
    Not really, the days are dry the evening chilly
    The only one who understands is little Billy when he's lonely
    Make me feel something, make me worth a damn
    Make me new again, make me a fuckin' man

    Seen the rise and fall the high and low the come and go
    And if you knew what I know, sometimes one does not reap what he sews
    The wind blows, the moon glows the water flows
    The rain turns to snow, and the ground is froze
    And only God knows why that's the way it goes

    I am the scarecrow and I am so alone

    To many good songs

    Tool
    Forty-Six & 2

    My shadow's Shedding skin and I've been picking scabs again. I'm down digging through my old muscles looking for a clue. I've been crawling on my belly clearing out what could've been. I've been wallowing in my own confused and insecure delusions for a piece to cross me over or a word to guide me in. I wanna feel the changes coming down. I wanna know what I've been hiding in my shadow. Change is coming through my shadow. My shadow's shedding skin I've been picking my scabs again. I've been crawling on my belly clearing out what could've been I've been wallowing in my own chaotic and insecure delusions. I wanna feel the change consume me, feel the outside turning in. I wanna feel the metamorphosis and cleansing I've endured within my shadow. Change is coming. Now is my time. Listen to my muscle memory. Contemplate what I've been clinging to. Forty-six and two ahead of me. I choose to live and to grow, take and give and to move, learn and love and to cry, kill and die and to be paranoid and to lie, hate and fear and to do what it takes to move through. I choose to live and to lie, kill and give and to die, learn and love and to do what it takes to step through. See my shadow changing, stretching up and over me soften this old armor. hoping I can clear the way by stepping through my shadow, coming out the other side. Step into the shadow. Forty six and two are just ahead of me.

    Fake

    I can't stand the sight of you
    I can't stand what you put me through
    Your life's a lie, but you hide
    Is it that terrible being you inside?
    I can't stand, oh, the thought of you
    I can't stand all the things you do
    What do you try to justify?
    You were just too scared to be you inside

    Let!
    It all go

    [I look] at you, all I see, is a man too afraid to really be

    I can't stand what you put me through
    I can't stand even the thought of you
    Your secret lies that you hide
    Is it that terrible being you inside?

    You try so hard to be wanted
    -False emotions tells you fronted
    I feel being a person relies on one thing:
    Be yourself, let you come through
    You're too afraid to really be
    Someone who has the thoughts who doesn't care to be
    Be yourself, let you come through!

    Fake!
    -You'll regret it, you'll regret it

    Type O Negative, Blood & Fire

    I always thought we'd be together.
    And that our love could not be better.
    Well with no warning you were gone.
    I still don't know what went gone.
    You don't know what I've been through.
    Just want to put my love in you.

    No more nights.
    Of blood & fire.

    All those special memories.
    Now I bleed for you - burn for me.
    Perhaps I was just dreaming.
    When I think these things had real meaning.
    You don't know what I've been through.
    Just want to put my love in you.

    Love eternal.
    Lust eternal.
    Bleeding, burning.
    Needing, yearning.

    I see your face in every flame.
    With no answers I have only myself to blame.
    Of all the women I have known - they're not you.
    I'd rather be alone.

    No more nights.
    Of blood & fire.

    Too Late: Frozen

    So you've come to say you're very sorry.
    "It won't happen again - forgive me?"
    Time will not heal these wounds.
    And I'm bleeding because of you.

    Was everything we had just a joke?
    I've run out of patience, tears and hope.
    Love does not conquer all.
    And I'm screaming because of you.

    Too late for apologies.

    In the shadow of the light from a black sun.
    Frigid statue standing icy blue and numb.
    Where are the frost giants I've begged for protection?
    I'm freezing.

    Cold winter winds that chill my heart with sleet & snow.
    Not from the north come to this glacial abode.
    But from your dimension cryogenic limbo.
    I'm freezing.
    I'm frozen.
    It's too late.

    Can't Lose You

    I can't lose you.
    I can't lose you.
    No I can't lose you.
    I can't lose you.

    Edit to be blatently sadistic and add another favorite:

    Be My Druidess

    Be my druidess
    Be my everything
    Be my druidess
    Be mine

    Around the dyre, a circle of thirteen
    Thoughout these woods, ecstatic screams
    I look deeply into your eyes
    I smell your hair, caress your thighs

    Now we'll make love by fire light
    A blaze so high it lights the night
    Long fingernails dug in my skin
    Yourself so wet invites me in

    Our lust increased feeds desire
    As we combust, yeah we on fire
    I feel you shake so deep inside
    O oh scream my name and hold me tight

    I'll just post a cool one, cause I could not possibly chose THE favourite.

    The Mercy Seat
    It began when they come took me from my home
    And put me in Dead Row,
    Of which I am nearly wholly innocent, you know.
    And I'll say it again
    I..am..not..afraid..to..die.
    I began to warm and chill
    To objects and their fields,
    A ragged cup, a twisted mop
    The face of Jesus in my soup
    Those sinister dinner meals
    The meal trolley's wicked wheels
    A hooked bone rising from my food
    All things either good or ungood.
    And the mercy seat is waiting
    And I think my head is burning
    And in a way I'm yearning
    To be done with all this measuring of truth.
    An eye for an eye
    A tooth for a tooth
    And anyway I told the truth
    And I'm not afraid to die.
    Interpret signs and catalogue
    A blackened tooth, a scarlet fog.
    The walls are bad. Black. Bottom kind.
    They are sick breath at my hind
    They are sick breath at my hind
    They are sick breath at my hind
    They are sick breath gathering at my hind
    I hear stories from the chamber
    How Christ was born into a manger
    And like some ragged stranger
    Died upon the cross
    And might I say it seems so fitting in its way
    He was a carpenter by trade
    Or at least that's what I'm told
    Like my good hand I
    tatooed E.V.I.L. across it's brother's fist
    That filthy five! They did nothing to challenge or resist.
    In Heaven His throne is made of gold
    The ark of his Testament is stowed
    A throne from which I'm told
    All history does unfold.
    Down here it's made of wood and wire
    And my body is on fire
    And God is never far away.
    Into the mercy seat I climb
    My head is shaved, my head is wired
    And like a moth that tries
    To enter the bright eye
    I go shuffling out of life
    Just to hide in death awhile
    And anyway I never lied.
    My kill-hand is called E.V.I.L.
    Wears a wedding band that's G.O.O.D.
    `Tis a long-suffering shackle
    Collaring all that rebel blood.
    And the mercy seat is waiting
    And I think my head is burning
    And in a way I'm yearning
    To be done with all this measuring of truth.
    An eye for an eye
    And a tooth for a tooth
    And anyway I told the truth
    And I'm not afraid to die.
    And the mercy seat is burning
    And I think my head is glowing
    And in a way I'm hoping
    To be done with all this weighing up of truth.
    An eye for an eye
    And a tooth for a tooth
    And I've got nothing left to lose
    And I'm not afraid to die.
    And the mercy seat is glowing
    And I think my head is smoking
    And in a way I'm hoping
    To be done with all this looks of disbelief.
    An eye for an eye
    And a tooth for a tooth
    And anyway there was no proof
    Nor a motive why.
    And the mercy seat is smoking
    And I think my head is melting
    And in a way I'm helping
    To be done with all this twisted of the truth.
    A lie for a lie
    And a truth for a truth
    And I've got nothing left to lose
    And I'm not afraid to die.
    And the mercy seat is melting
    And I think my blood is boiling
    And in a way I'm spoiling
    All the fun with all this truth and consequence.
    An eye for an eye
    And a truth for a truth
    And anyway I told the truth
    And I'm not afraid to die.
    And the mercy seat is waiting
    And I think my head is burning
    And in a way I'm yearning
    To be done with all this measuring of proof.
    A life for a life
    And a truth for a truth
    And anyway there was no proof
    But I'm not afraid to tell a lie.
    And the mercy seat is waiting
    And I think my head is burning
    And in a way I'm yearning
    To be done with all this measuring of truth.
    An eye for an eye
    And a truth for a truth
    And anyway I told the truth
    But I'm afraid I told a lie.
