I had visions, I was in them
I was looking into the mirror
To see a little bit clearer
The rottenness and evil in me
Fingertips have memories
And I can't forget the curves of your body
And when I feel a bit naughty
I run it up the flagpole and see
Who salutes, but no-one ever does
I'm not sick, but I'm not well
And I'm so hot, cos I'm in hell
Been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding
The cretins cloning and feeding
And I don't even own a TV
Put me in the hospital for nerves and then they had to commit me
You told them all I was crazy
They cut off my legs, now I'm an amputee
God damn you
I'm not sick, but I'm not well
And I'm so hot, cos I'm in hell
I'm not sick, but I'm not well
And it's a sin, to look so well
I want to publish scenes
And rage against machines
I wanna pierce my tongue, it doesn't hurt it feels fine
But you don't look so fine
I'd like to turn off time
To kill my mind
To kill my mind
Paranoia, paranoia
Everybody's coming to get me
Just say you never met me
I'm running underground with the moles
Digging in holes
Hear the voices in my head, I swear to god it sounds like they're snoring
But if you're bored, then you're boring
The agony and the irony, they're killing me
I'm not sick, but I'm not well
And I'm so hot, cos I'm in hell
I'm not sick, but I'm not well
And it's a sin, to look this well
"If Only Tonight We Could Sleep"
If only tonight we could sleep
In a bed made of flowers
If only tonight we could fall
In a deathless spell
If only tonight we could slide
Into deep black water
And breathe
And breathe...
Then an angel would come
With burning eyes like stars
And bury us deep
In his velvet arms
And the rain would cry
As our faces slipped away
And the rain would cry
Don't let it end...
Is it safe to look within
And erase all that's been
And all that's been between
Is it gone tell me what went wrong
'cause baby i'm not that strong
And i'm walking wounded
All alone, all alone
Are you comfortable and numb
Did they all succumb to all those lies
Does it satisfy the greed
Is it all you need
Is it all you want
'cause baby i'm not that strong
And I'm walking wounded
All alone
And baby i'm not that strong
And i'm walking wounded a
All alone , all alone
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
If your memories do stray
Then they betray all that's past
And all that's been between
Is it gone tell me what went wrong
'cause baby i'm not that strong
And i'm walking wounded
All alone,
And baby i'm not that strong
And i'm walking wounded
All allone , alll alone
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
Where did you go to
It's not what you told me
You'd think with the lies it would change
And everyone else they're
Running in circles
Trying so hard not to change
You take it with the bad
You take it with the good
I'd give it all to you if I knew that I could
So when I'm crying baby
Can you see my tears
Where did you go to
Its not what you told me
You'd think with the lies it would change
Everyone else they're
Running in circles
Walking around in a daze
Where did you go to
Its not what you told me
You'd think with the lies it would change
Every where else they're
Running in circles
Trying so hard not to change
And honey I'm amazed
I'm simply amazed
Yes I am
So when I'm crying baby
Can you see my tears
And watching the sunrise
Deep in my soul
I felt it in your eyes
I'd have to be a fool
Not to realise
I strain to see
Through your clouds of calamity
If not for me
You'd be living a reality
So when I'm crying, baby
Can you see my tears
You've Been looking for god
You've been down on your knees
Will the Angels believe you now?
Wanting more than the bliss of a buetiful kiss
from the lips of the one who fell
well its hard to tell...
Its like an opium dream
through your psyche it streams
it relieves and believes the painthat you fought in vain
oh no....please don't
wave goodbye, wave goodbye
because your sleeping tonight
sleeping tonight
safe in the arms of morpheus
you've escaped through these means these delirious dreams
helped to shelter an sooth your soul
the regrettable roles
the salvation they sold
satisfied your desire to burn
and now you've learned?
oh no....please don't
wave goodbye, wave goodbye
because your sleeping tonight
sleeping tonight
safe in the arms of morpheus
and were waving goodbye
you're sleeping tonight
safe in the arms of morpheus
I had the pleasure of speaking to CauzDeChin this early morning. We talked about his band Lunatic for a bit and he sent me a few of their songs ... I aksed him to translate the song Niki for me as most of the songs are in Romanian (or whatever the offical languag is there ... it is a very sad and sweet song ... I decided to post them here ... I think if given the chance alot of people would really like their music ... Thank you again Cristi for the nice chat and for sharing your music with me, it was great getting to know you....
I’m sleeping on a cloud
I sleep and in my dream
I hear the wards, that u never toled me..
I want to see u, I want to touch u
I want to see u, I want to touch u
in your arms to turn off my pain
I want to see u I want to touch u
I want to tell u that I’ll never lie to u again
And I know that the night hurts when the morning comes
And dreams are broken, I still can make u flyyyyyyyyy.....
I’m runing whithout shoes, an pices of heaven
I run on the fields with iron grass
Only to see u
Only to touch u
In your arms to turn of the pain
And I know that the night hurts when morning comes
And dreams are broken
I still can make u flyyyyyyy.
To fly

My love
Fllyyyyyyyyyyy
Fllyyyyyyyyyyy
My sweet love

They also did a remake of Tea Party's Psychopomp ... one word .... AWESOME!!! >;^}
"Psychopomp"
You wanted this
So sad to see
The sweet decay
Of ecstasy
And you want it all
A frozen sun,
Will guide you there
As shadows hide
The deep despair
I'll give you something more
And you'll fade away
One last kiss before
You fade away.
So sleep tonight,
In idle dreams
The pain will drown,
Your silent screams
And you want it all
I'll give you something more
And you'll fade away
One last kiss before
You fade away
Lives you once adored
will fade away
Lies you can't ignore
You soon repay
As you fade away
There is one thing that my daughter and I share a deep love for, and that is lyrics to songs. They hold deep meanings for us. So when a song comes along that we both relate to in different yet the same ways, it means a lot to me.
There is one song in particular that since the first time I heard it, held a very special meaning to me, and I don't think my daughter realizes that the way in which the song touches her and reminds her of our past (her's and my relationship) it touches me the same way, I knew when I heard it how she would hear it as well, how it would remind her of me, and my not always being there for her. Until tonight we never spoke about it, but when I went to see her and take her to her choir recital tonight we had some time to blow so her sisters were playing some songs and they told me that when this song comes on she says it reminds her of me and it makes her cry .. the thing is I know and understand why. The only thing I can say to you baby is that I am sorry, I can't relive the past, I can't make up for time lost, nor the lonely nights, but I can let you know that I was just as lonely and missing and needing you. I only hope one day you can forgive me for the past ...
Hey Dad I'm writing to you
Not to tell you, that I still hate you
Just to ask you how you feel
And how we fell apart how this fell apart
Are you happy out there in this great wide world?
Do you think about your sons?
Do you miss your little girl?
When you lay your head down how do you sleep at night?
Do you even wonder if we're all right?
We're alright
We're alright
It's been a long hard road without you by my side
Why weren't you there all the nights that we cried?
You broke my mother's heart, you broke your children for life
It's not OK but we're alright
I remember the days you were a hero in my eyesBut those were just a long lost memory of mine
I spent so many years learning how to survive
Now I'm writing just to let you know that I'm still alive
The days I spent so cold, so hungry, were full of hate
I was so angry, the scars run deep inside this tattooed body
There's things I'll take to my grave, but I'm OK, I'm OK
It's been a long hard road without you by my side
Why weren't you there all the nights that we cried?
You broke my mother's heart, you broke your children for life
It's not OK but we're alright
I remember the days you were a hero in my eyes
But those were just a long lost memory of mine
I spent so many years learning how to survive
Now I'm writing just to let you know that I'm still alive
And sometimes I forgive, yeah and this time I'll admit
That I miss you, said I miss you
It's been a long hard road without you by my side
Why weren't you there all the nights that we cried?
You broke my mother's heart, you broke your children for life
It's not OK but we're alright
I remember the days you were a hero in my eyes
But those were just a long lost memory of mine
I spent so many years learning how to survive
Now I'm writing just to let you know that I'm still alive
And sometimes I forgive, yeah and this time I'll admit
That I miss you, said I miss you...hey Dad
The song played in my mind for the last year, since the album came out .. something that I'd contemplated for so long trying to sdecided what to do with my life and when i fianlly realized my marriage was over, the song in my mind all along trying to figure out what to say or when ... for months I've sat here collecting letters, trying to decided ... as you've seen, last night, I decided finally what to say .. today I typed up the papers, tomorrow or the next i send them off ...
The Truth
So here we are
We are alone
There's weight on your mind
I wanna know
The truth
If this is how you feel
Say it to me
If this was ever real
[Chorus:]
I want the truth
From you
Give me the truth
Even if it hurts me
I want the truth
From you
Give me the truth
Even if it hurts me
I want the truth
So this is you
You talking to me
You found a million ways to let me down
So I'm not hurt when you're not around
I was blind
But now I see
This is how you feel
Say it to me
If this was ever real
[Chorus]
I know that this will break me
I know that this might make me cry
You gotta say what's on your mind, on your mind
I know that this will hurt me
And break my heart and soul inside
But I don't wanna live this life
[Chorus]
I don't care no more, no
Just give me the truth
Give me the truth
Cuz I don't care no more
Give me the truth
Cuz I don't care no more, no
Just give me the truth
Give me the truth
Give me the truth
Give me the truth
Give me the truth
Cuz I don't care no more, no
How I feel now ...
Lost and broken
Hopeless and lonely
Smiling on the outside
Hurt beneath my skin
My eyes are fading
My soul is bleeding
I'll try to make it seem okay
But my faith is wearing thin
So help me heal these wounds
They've been open for way too long
Help me fill this soul
Even though this is not your fault
But I'm open
And I'm bleeding
All over your brand new rug
And I need someone to help me sew them up
I only wanted a magazine
I only wanted a movie screen
I only wanted the life I'd read about and dreamed
And now my mind is an open book
And now my heart is an open wound
And now my life is an open soul for all to see
But help me heal these wounds
They've been open for way too long
Help me fill this soul
Even though this is not your fault
That I'm open and I'm bleeding
All over your brand new rug
And I need someone to help me
So you come along
I push you away
Then kick and scream for you to stay
Cuz I need someone to help me
Oh I need someone to help me
To help me heal these wounds
They've been open for way too long
Help me fill this soul
Even though this is not your fault
That I'm open
And I'm bleeding
All over your brand new rug
And I need someone to help me sew them
I need someone to help me fill them
I need someone to help me close them up
(I miss you, I miss you)
Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
We'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends
(I miss you, I miss you)
(I miss you, I miss you)
Where are you and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
Webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
Stop this pain tonight
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
[x3]
(I miss you, I miss you) [x4]
I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
‘Cause I’m broken when I'm open
And I don’t feel like i am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonsome
And i don't feel rite when your gone away
You're gone away; You don't feel me here anymore
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There’s so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away
You're gone away; You don't feel me here anymore.
I have this affliction for words .. I love lyrics to songs ... One of my favorite bands who's lyrics I throughly enjoy is Savatage ... what follows happen to be a few of my favorite songs, not just for the music it's self, but for the actual words of the songs ...
Hey there you
Way out there in the distance
Can you hear me
Are you there
I know it's late
So please forgive my persistence
But I'm hanging
Do you care
So lay back
Call off the attack
Cause if you look deep
Dreams are nothing that I lack
And all I seek
A final chance to speak
And I would let the whole thing keep
If I could just sleep
Hey there you
Way out there could you show me
Just a signal
Or a sign
That after all
All these years that you've known me
And I'm not just killing time
So lay back
Call off the attack
Cause if you look deep
Dreams are nothing that I lack
And all I seek
A final chance to speak
But I would let the whole thing keep
If I could just sleep
As I lay there late at night
Building castles in the air
Out of alibis and all those little lies
And then I look inside
And pray that I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
Hey there you way out there in the distance
I dont know where the years have gone
Memories can only last so long
Like faded photographs, forgotten songs
And the things I never knew
When the skin is thin, the heart shows through
Please believe me what I tell you is true
Wheres the light, turn then on again
One more night to believe and then
Another note for my requiem
A memory to carry on
The storys over when the crowds are gone
All my friends have been crucified
They made life a long suicide true
Guess we never figured out the rules
But Im still alive and my fingers feel
Im gonna play on till the final reels through
And read the credits from a different view
Wheres the lights, turn them on again
One more night to believe and then
Another note for my requiem
A memory to carry on
The storys over when the crowds are gone
When the crowds are gone
And Im all alone
Playing a final song
Now that the lights are gone
Turn them on again
One more time for me my friend
Turn them on again
I never wanted to know
Never wanted to see
I wasted my time till time wasted me
Never wanted to go
Always wanted to stay
Cause the person I am are the parts that I play
So I play and I plan
And hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night
Filled with unfinished dreams
And Im holding on tight
To a world gone astray
As they charge me for years
I can no longer pay
And the lights
Turn them off my friend
And the ghosts
Well just let them in
Cause in the dark
Its easier to see
Listen to me children of the night
Beyond the doors of darkness you will find
A thousand worlds for you to see here
Take my hand and follow me, oh
Beyond the doors of the dark
Demon in your heart
Scream and thrash your head
Turn around now you're dead
Under the darkened haze
Lost here in glaze
Are you looking to be free
A never ending suicide
Of nightmares you have inside
Another day's begun
Under the moon and sun
Circle has been drawn
Life has been prolonged
Hell is eternity
Hell is your destiny
I'll tell you to die
A never ending suicide
Of nightmares you have inside
Oh, beyond the doors of the dark yeah
Beyond the doors of the dark
Oh yeah
It's time to meet your fate
Heaven can wait
All the walls are closing in
Things crawl on your skin
He's grabbing down at you
There's nothing you can do
No place to run and hide
A never ending suicide
Of nightmares you have inside
He wants to take your soul
You know you're dreaming
Call your precious little life under my knife
Hell is eternity
Hell is your destiny
I'll tell you to die
Never ending suicide
Of nightmares you have inside
Beyond the doors of the dark
Beyond the doors of the dark
Oh yeah
Beyond the doors of the dark
Beyond the doors of the dark
Oh yeah
No no
And so I sit here in the dark
You made the rules I played the part
I never rushed or pushed my fate
When time was tight I knew to wait
And circumstance
So well disguised
Within a gathering of lies
And in the dark I lie awake
So I can watch you drive your stake
What's that you said to me
The moment dies
Degrees of sanity
All alone
Lost unknown
And whispered in our sighs
And in the dark it all unwinds
I pray for change
The kiss of time
And in my thoughts
I sit and dwell
The labyrinth's there
I know it well
What's that you said to me
The moment dies
Degrees of sanity
All alone
Lost unknown
And whispered in our sighs
And all the things you never heard
While in my mind I search for words
But time was lost
The curtain fell
I take my bows and wish you well
What's that you said to me
The moment dies
Degrees of sanity
All alone
Lost unknown
And whispered in our sigh
He was standing all alone
Trying to find the words to say
When every prayer he ever prayed
Was gone
And the dreams hes never owned
Are still safely tucked away
Until tomorrow he just
Carries on
See the Devil in the streets at night
See him running in the pouring rain
See him grinning Rneath a twisted light
Ill be back again
See the people standing in a row
See them nodding like a field of grain
No one sees the sickle though
Coming Rcross the plain
And this he knows if nothing more
That waiting in the dark like destiny
Are those who kissed the dogs of war
And there is no tomorrow
No tomorrow
Take a chance
Take a chance
See the Devil he is so intense
See the Devil go and change his name
Whats the going price of innocence
It cant be the same
Is it dark when the moon is down
Is it dark with a single flame
If theres glass falling all all around
I am not to blame
And this he knows if nothing more
That waiting in the dark like destiny
Are those who kissed the dogs of war
And there is no tomorrow
No tomorrow
Take a chance
Burn the night away
Pictures at an exhibition
Played as he stood his trance
Staring at his inhibitions
All the time believing
That it now came down to nothing but this chance
I fear you
Your silence
Your blindless
See what you want to see
In darkness
One kindness
One moment
Tell me what you believe
I believe in nothing
Never really had to
In regards to your life
Rumors that are not true
Whos defending evil
Surely never I
Who would be the witness
Should you chance to die
Father can you hear me
This is not how was meant to be
I am safe and so are you
As for the others destiny
I believe that situations
All depend on circumstance
Look away
Look away
Pictures at an exhibition
Played as he stood in his trance
Staring at his inhibitions
All the time believing
That it now came down to
Nothing but this chance
So after all those one night stands
You've ended up with heart in hand
A Child alone
On your own
Retreating
Regretful for the things you're not
And all the things you haven't got
Without a home
A heart of stone
Lies bleeding
And for all the roads you followed
And for all you did not find
And for all the dreams you had to leave behind
I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you
Believe
Your childhood eyes were so intense
While bartering your innocence
For bits of string
The grown-up wings
You needed
But when you had to add the up
You found that they were not enough
To get you in
Pay for sins repeated
And for all the years you borrowed
And for all the tears you hide
And for all the fears you had to keep inside
I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't walk away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is
Believe
I never wanted to know
Never wanted to see
I wasted my time
Till Time wasted me
I never wanted to go
I always wanted to stay
'Cause the persons I am
Are the parts that I play
So I plot and I plan
And I hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night
Filled with unfinished dreams
And I'm holding on tight
To a world gone astray
As they charge me for years
I can no longer pay
I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark
Inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark
I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you...
Believe...
You were never one for waiting
Still I always thought you'd wait for me
Have you from your dreams awakened
And from where you are what do you see
Which of us is now in exile
Which in need of amnesty
Are you now but an illusion
In my mind alone you breathe
You believed in things that I will never know
You were out there drowning but it never showed
Till inside a rain swept night you just let go
You've thrown it all away
And now we'll never see
The ending of the play
The grand design
The final line
And what was meant to be
In the dark a distant runner
Now has disappeared into the night
Leaving us to stand and wonder
Staring from this end into your life
You believed in things that I will never know
You were out there drowning but it never showed
Till inside a rain swept night you just let go
You've thrown it all away
And now we'll never seeThe ending of the play
The grand design
The final line
And what was meant to be
And if this is an illusion
Nothing more than pure delusion
Clinging to a fading fantasy
Like Icarus who heeds the calling
Of a sun but now is falling
As the feathers of his life fall free
Can you see
See
Tomorrow
And after
You tell me what am I to do
I stand there
Believing
That in the dark
There is a clue
Perhaps inside
This midnight sky
Perhaps tomorrow's new born eyes
Or then again
We'll never know
And after all
This was the show
What am I to do
Gotta get back
Gotta get back
Gotta get back
What am I to do
Gotta get back
Gotta get back
Gotta get back
What am I to do
Standing on a dream
Isn't what it seems
Could wethe reclaim a dream refused
Knowing what we know
Could we let it go
Realizing that all the years are used
Tomorrow
And after
You tell me what am I to do
I stand here
Believing
That in the dark
There is a clue
I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Tomorrow
And after
You tell me what am I to do
I stand here
Believing
That in the dark
There is a clue...
