Avenged Sevenfold Beast and the Harlot

 

This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence,

There's more than meets the eye round here, look to the waters of the deep.

A city of evil.

There sat a seven-headed beast, ten horns raised from his head.

Symbolic woman sits on his throne, but hatred strips her and leaves her naked.

The Beast and the Harlot.

 

She's a dwelling place for demons.

She's a cage for every unclean spirit,

every filthy bird and makes us drink

the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.

Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

 

The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, myrrh and pearls.

Her plagues will come all at once as her mourners watch her burn.

Destroyed in an hour.

Merchants and captains of the world, sailors, navigators too.

Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky,

The Beast and the Harlot.

 

She's a dwelling place for demons.

She's a cage for every unclean spirit,

every filthy bird and makes us drink

the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.

Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

 

The day has come for all us sinners.

If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground.

Flee the burning, greedy city.

Lookin' back on her to see there's nothing around.

 

I don't believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to hell.

You've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see.

Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us,

You're welcome to the city where your future is set forever.

 

She's a dwelling place for demons.

She's a cage for every unclean spirit,

every filthy bird and makes us drink

the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.

Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

Aerials lyrics

Life is a waterfall

we're one in the river

and one again after the fall

swimming through the void

we hear the word

we lose ourselves

but we find it all....

cause we are the ones that want to play

always want to go

but you never want to stay

and we are the ones that want to choose

always want to play

but you never want to lose

aerials, in the sky

when you lose small mind

you free your life

life is a waterfall

we drink from the river

then we turn around and put up our walls

swimming through the void

we hear the word

we lose ourselves

but we find it all...

cause we are the ones that want to play

always want to go

but you never want to stay

and we are the ones that want to choose

always want to play

but you never want to lose

aerials, in the sky

when you lose small mind

you free your life

aerials, so up high

when you free your eyes eternal prize

aerials, in the sky

when you lose small mind

you free your life

aerials, so up high

when you free your eyes eternal prize

Definitely one of my favorite System tunes Dez. Allow my to retort with my other favorites...well two of them anyway.

Spiders - S.O.A.D. (first time i ever saw that video, kookie)

 

The piercing radiant moon,

The storming of poor june,

All the life running through her hair,

 

Approaching guiding light,

Our shallow years in fright,

Dreams are made winding through my head,

 

Through my head,

Before you know, awake,

 

Your lives are open wide,

The v-chip gives them sight,

All the life running through her hair,

 

The spiders all in tune,

The evening of the moon,

Dreams are made winding through my head,

 

Through my head,

Before you know, awake

 

(solo)

 

Through my head,

Before you know,

Before you know I will be waiting all awake,

 

Dreams are made winding through her hair,

Dreams are made winding through her hair.

 

 

Walk with me my little child

To the forest of denial

Speak with me my only mind

Walk with me until the time

And make the forest turn to wine

You take the legend for a fall

You saw the product

Why cant you see that you are my child

Why don't you know that you are my mind

Tell everyone in the world, that I'm you

Take this promise to the end of you

Walk with me my little friend

Take this promise to the end

Speak with me my only mind

Walk with me until the end

And make the forest turn to sand

You take the legend for a fall

You saw the product

Why cant you see that you are my child

Why don't you know that you are my mind

Tell everyone in the world, that I'm you

Take this promise to the end of you

Take this promise for a ride

You saw the forest, now come inside

You took the legend for its fall

You saw the product of it all

No televisions in the air

No circumcisions on the chair

You made the weapons for us all

Just look at us now

Why cant you see that you are my child

Why don't you know that you are my mind

Tell everyone in the world, that I'm you

Take this promise to the end of you

@Desi hawt damn she listens to to SOAD too. I think I'm in love...slightly more than before. I like Toxicity from SOAD. Apocalyptica did a string version of it with no lyrics. It makes you realize how well made it really is. They do a great job with Metallica too. Unforgiven, enter sandman, and Nothing Else Matters are superbly done. One of my all time favcorite song of this new age however is from a band called Tool the song is sober.

Sober-Tool

There's a shadow just behind me,

shrouding every step I take,

making every promise empty,

pointing every finger at me.

Waiting like a stalking butler

who upon the finger rests.

Murder now the path is must we

just because the son has come.

 

Jesus, won't you f*c*ing whistle

something but the past and done? (x2)

 

Why can't we not be sober?

I just want to start this over.

Why can't we dream forever?

I just want to start things over.

 

I am just a worthless liar.

I am just an imbecile.

I will only complicate you.

Trust in me and fall as well.

I will find a center in you.

I will chew it up and leave,

I will work to elevate you

just enough to bring you down.

 

Mother Mary won't you whisper

something but the past and done. (x2)

 

Why can't we not be sober?

I Just want to start this over.

Why can't we sleep forever?

I Just want to start things over.

 

I am just a worthless liar.

I am just an imbecile.

I will only complicate you.

Trust in me and fall as well.

I will find a center in you.

I will chew it up and leave.

 

Trust me. Trust me. Trust me. Trust me. Trust Me.

 

Why can't we not be sober?

I Just want to start things over.

Why can't we sleep forever?

I Just want to start this over.

 

I want what I want.

I want what I want.

I want what I want.

I want what I want.

I personally find the lines " I am just a worthless liar. I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall aswell." Are perfect examples of addiction. The video is actually one done well by Tool who are...notorious for making videos that don't really make much sense. In this one I feel it portrays the power of addiction and the inner demons you're forced to faced asociated with addictions. I haven't felt these emotions myself but I have lived them Vicariously through my Father. (Hmm that reminds my of another too song Vicarious) My father can proudly say he's clean and sober and has been for just shy of a year. I find it humorous though. I'm living with my father but I'm in no way still living with my parents. I'm actually the one supporting him and I have no problem with that. Even when he was a drunk he was still my father and I still loved him with all I could. For many years he helped put a roof over my head and the bleeding heart I have (sometimes) won't let me see him go homeless. Now here's the other Tool song also another of my favorites.

Vicarious-Tool

Eye on the the TV

'Cause tragedy thrills me

Whatever flavor it happens to be, like...

"Killed by the husband"

"Drowned by the ocean"

"Shot by his own son"

"She used a poison

in his tea...kissed him goodbye"

That's my kind of story

It's no fun 'til someone dies

 

Don't look at me like

I am a monster

Frown out your one face

But with the other

Stare like a junkie

Into the TV

Stare like a zombie

While the mother holds her child

Watches them die

Hands to the sky crying,

"Why, oh why?"

 

Cause I need to watch things die... from a distance

Vicariously I live while the whole world dies

YOU ALL NEED IT TOO, DON'T LIE

 

Why can't we just admit it?

Why can't we just admit it?

We won't give pause until the blood is flowing

Neither the brave nor bold

Will write as the story's told

We won't give pause until the blood is flowing

 

I need to watch things die... from a good safe distance

Vicariously I live while the whole world dies

You all feel the same, so...

 

Why can't we just admit it?

 

Blood like rain come down

Drum on grave and ground

 

Part vampire

Part warrior

Carnivore and Voyeur

Stare at the transmittal

Sing to the death rattle

 

La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie (x4)

 

Credulous at best

Your desire to believe in

Angels in the hearts of men

Pull your head on out your hippy haze

and give a listen

Shouldn't have to say it all again

 

The universe is hostile, so impersonal

Devour to survive... so it is, so it's always been

 

We all feed on tragedy

It's like blood to a vampire

 

Vicariously I live while the whole world dies

Much better you than I

 

I really don't need to explain the meaning of this song it does it by itself. There are 2 video's for this one that makes some sense and one that doesn't I'll only post the one that makes some sense if you feel you want to see the other it's not hard to find on youtube.

While I'm on a roll for finding good quotes from songs I'd like to give FFDP or 5FDP to some an honorable mention. "I'd rather you hate me for what I am than love me for something that I'm not." That's all I got for now enjoy Nexus. Until next time

i can't stop listening to this so.

One Week by Barenaked Ladies

 

Its been one week since you looked at me

Cocked your head to the side and said Im angry.

Five days since you laughed at me

Saying get that together come back and see me.

Three days since the living room

I realized its all my fault, but couldnt tell you

Yesterday youd forgiven me

But itll still be two days till I say Im sorry

 

Hold it now and watch the hoodwink

As I make you stop, think

Youll think youre looking at aquaman

I summon fish to the dish, although I like the chalet swiss

I like the sushi cause its never touched a frying pan

Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes

Big like leann rimes

Because Im all about value

Bert kaempferts got the mad hits

You try to match wits

You try to hold me but I bust through

Gonna make a break and take a fake

Id like a stinkin achin shake

I like vanilla, its the finest of the flavours

Gotta see the show, cause then youll know

The vertigo is gonna grow

Cause its so dangerous, youll have to sign a waiver

 

How can I help it if I think youre funny when youre mad

Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad

Im the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral

Cant understand what I mean?

Well, you soon will

I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve

I have a history of taking off my shirt

 

Its been one week since you looked at me

Threw your arms in the air and said youre crazy

Five days since you tackled me

Ive still got the rug burns on both my knees

Its been three days since the afternoon

You realized its not my fault not a moment too soon

Yesterday youd forgiven me

And now I sit back and wait till you say youre sorry

 

Chickity china the chinese chicken

You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin

Watchin x-files with no lights on, were dans la maison

I hope the smoking mans in this one

Like harrison ford Im getting frantic

Like sting Im tantric

Like snickers, guaranteed to satisfy

Like kurasawa I make mad films

Okay I dont make films

But if I did theyd have a samurai

Gonna get a set of better clubs

Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs just so my

Irons arent always flying off the back-swing

Gotta get in tune with sailor moon

Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes

That make me think the wrong thing

 

How can I help it if I think youre funny when youre mad

Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad

Im the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral

Cant understand what I mean? you soon will

I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve

I have a history of losing my shirt

 

Its been one week since you looked at me

Dropped your arms to your sides and said Im sorry

Five days since I laughed at you

And said you just did just what I thought you were gonna do

Three days since the living room

We realized were both to blame, but what could we do?

Yesterday you just smiled at me

Cause itll still be two days till we say were sorry

Itll still be two days till we say were sorry

Itll still be two days till we say were sorry

addicted to this song tonight

You're Gonna Go Far Kid by The Offspring

 

Show me how to lie

You’re getting better all the time

And turning all against the one

Is an art that’s hard to teach

Another clever word

Sets off an unsuspecting herd

And as you step back into line

A mob jumps to their feet

 

Now dance, f**ker, dance

Man, he never had a chance

And no one even knew

It was really only you

 

And now you steal away

Take him out today

Nice work you did

You’re gonna go far, kid

 

With a thousand lies

And a good disguise

Hit ‘em right between the eyes

Hit ‘em right between the eyes

When you walk away

Nothing more to say

See the lightning in your eyes

See ‘em running for their lives

 

Slowly out of line

And drifting closer in your sights

So play it out I’m wide awake

It’s a scene about me

There’s something in your way

And now someone is gonna pay

And if you can’t get what you want

Well it’s all because of me

 

Now dance, f**ker, dance

Man, I never had a chance

And no one even knew

It was really only you

 

And now you’ll lead the way

Show the light of day

Nice work you did

You’re gonna go far, kid

Trust, deceived!

 

With a thousand lies

And a good disguise

Hit ‘em right between the eyes

Hit ‘em right between the eyes

When you walk away

Nothing more to say

See the lightning in your eyes

See ‘em running for their lives

 

Now dance, f**ker, dance

He never had a chance

And no one even knew

It was really only you

 

So dance, f**ker, dance

I never had a chance

It was really only you

 

With a thousand lies

And a good disguise

Hit ‘em right between the eyes

Hit ‘em right between the eyes

When you walk away

Nothing more to say

See the lightning in your eyes

See ‘em running for their lives

 

Clever alibis

Lord of the flies

Hit ‘em right between the eyes

Hit ‘em right between the eyes

When you walk away

Nothing more to say

See the lightning in your eyes

See ‘em running for their lives
