They can't stop us

Let 'em try

For heavy metal

We will die!

 

Quit my job this morning said forever

I would hold my head up high

Cause I need metal in my life

Just like an eagle needs to fly

 

So I walked outside into the street

From a hall I heard thunder and screams

I walked inside so I could hear

And the guy beside me gave me a beer

 

He had his fist up in the air

And called me brother said my friends

Are over there

 

They call themselves immortals

They're the truest of the true

And in that very moment

I was born again like you

 

They said hold your head up high

Raise your fist up in the air

Play metal louder than hell

Louder than hell

 

They can't stop us

Let 'em try

For heavy metal

We would die!

 

Brothers stand beside me, there's a battle on

Know my words are true

There's a battle for true metal

They're marching; they're marching on

Me and you

 

Ten thousand strong are here tonight

With twenty thousand fists up in the air

The power of true metal's calling you

It's everywhere

 

Hold your head up high

Raise your fist up in the air

Play metal louder than hell

Louder than hell

 

They can't stop us

Let 'em try

For heavy metal

We would die!

[Zaraki]

So this is goodbye, I take leave of you and

Spread your wings and you will fly away now, fly away

Now

 

Nothing on earth stays forever

But none of your deeds were in vain

Deep in our hearts you will live again

You're gone to the home of the brave

[Binky The Rabbit]

And some say the horizon

Was put there to stop us

Having a sense of proportion

'Cause that could destroy us

And if we could see

Infinity

We would

We would just give up

It's my favorite because it's freaking funny, and it relates to my dark sense of humor. X3

"Hey, you sing something."

"Noo... I'm no good at that."

"Oh c'mooon... sing something!"

"I don't think that's such a-"

"sing. Sing. SING!!!!!"

"OKAY! CHRIST! ... Let me think... Oh, okay. I have one. Do you know; "I've been working on the railroad?"

"Yeah."

"All right, well you start it off, and I'll sing... every other line."

"Okay."

 

Iiii've been working on the raaiiilroad!

Every pointless day!

Iiii've been working on the raaiiilroad!

Whilst my life gets pissed away!

Caaan't you hear the whistle blooowing?

Shatter my dreams in the morn!

Caaan't you hear the captain shouting?

Wish I was never born!

 

"Okay. Stop."

The grass was greener

The light was brighter

The taste was sweeter

The nights of wonder

With friends surrounded

The dawn mist glowing

The water flowing

The endless river

 

Forever and ever

[Binky The Rabbit]

Meek and obedient, you follow the leader

Down well-trodden corridors

Into the valley of steel.

 

Consecutive Floyd posts

[AP_Pastor]

Make that a 3rd Floyd post in a row

 

Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending

That everyone's expendable and no-one has a real friend.

And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner

And everything's done under the sun,

And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer.

[BTGBullseye]

Make that 4... Last two lines are my all-time favorite lyrics from any song.

 

Hey you out there in the cold

Getting lonely getting old

Can you feel me?

Hey you standing in the aisles

With itchy feet and fading smiles

Can you feel me?

Hey you don't help them to bury the light

Don't give in without a fight.

 

Hey you out there on your own

Sitting naked by the phone

Would you touch me?

Hey you with you ear against the wall

Waiting for someone to call out

Would you touch me?

Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?

Open your heart, I'm coming home.

 

But it was only fantasy.

The wall was too high,

As you can see.

No matter how he tried,

He could not break free.

And the worms ate into his brain.

 

Hey you, out there on the road

Always doing what you're told,

Can you help me?

Hey you, out there beyond the wall,

Breaking bottles in the hall,

Can you help me?

Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all

Together we stand, divided we fall.

[Zaraki]

Now it's 5.

 

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.

Where have you been? It's alright we know where you've been.

You've been in the pipeline, filling in time,

provided with toys and Scouting for Boys.

You bought a guitar to punish your ma,

And you didn't like school, and you know you're nobody's fool,

So welcome to the machine.

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.

What did you dream? It's alright we told you what to dream.

You dreamed of a big star, he played a mean guitar,

He always ate in the Steak Bar. He loved to drive in his Jaguar.

So welcome to the machine.

[AP_Pastor]

Dang, i just listened to that this morning.

Six!

 

I was spending my time in the doldrums

I was caught in a cauldron of hate

I felt persecuted and paralysed

I thought that everything else would just wait

 

While you are wasting your time on your enemies

Engulfed in a fever of spite

Beyond your tunnel vision reality fades

Like shadows into the night

 

To martyr yourself to caution

Is not going to help at all

'Cause there'll be no safety in numbers

When the right one walks out of the door

 

Can you see your days blighted by darkness?

Is it true you beat your fists on the floor?

Stuck in a world of isolation

While the ivy grows over the door

 

So I open my door to my enemies

And I ask could we wipe the slate clean

But they tell me to please go fuck myself

You know you just can't win.

 

I'm torn between posting this or "Poles Apart"

[BTGBullseye]

The lunatic is on the grass.

The lunatic is on the grass.

Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs.

Got to keep the loonies on the path.

 

The lunatic is in the hall.

The lunatics are in my hall.

The paper holds their folded faces to the floor

And every day the paper boy brings more.

 

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon

And if there is no room upon the hill

And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too

I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

 

The lunatic is in my head.

The lunatic is in my head

You raise the blade, you make the change

You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane.

You lock the door

And throw away the key

There's someone in my head but it's not me.

 

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear

You shout and no one seems to hear.

And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes

I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

 

"I can't think of anything to say except...

I think it's marvelous! HaHaHa!"

 

Come on people... Brain Damage!!!

[Zaraki]

And now for something completely different.

 

So familiar and overwhelmingly warm

This one, this form I hold now.

Embracing you, this reality here,

This one, this form I hold now, so

Wide eyed and hopeful.

Wide eyed and hopefully wild.

 

We barely remember what came before this precious moment,

Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside...

This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in

This body makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illusion.

Afterglow - Genesis

 

Like the dust that settles all around me

I must find a new home

The ways and holes that used to give me shelter

They're all as one to me now

 

But I, I would search everywhere

Just to hear your call

And walk upon stranger roads than this one

In a world I used to know before, I miss you more

 

Than the sun reflecting off my pillow

Bringing the warmth of new life

And the sound that echoed all around me

That I caught a glimpse of in the night

 

But now, now I've lost everything

I give to you, give to you my soul

And the meaning of all that I believed before

Escapes me in this world of none, no thing and no one

 

But I would search everywhere

Just to hear, hear your call

And walk upon stranger roads than this one

In a world I used to know before

But now I've lost everything

I give to you, I give to you my soul

And the meaning of all that I believed before

Escapes me in this world of none, I miss you more

“Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love – they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.”

I sense a runner in the garden

Although my judgements known to fail

Once built a steamboat in a meadow

Cos I'd forgotten how to sail

 

I know the runner's going to tell you

There ain't no cowboy in my hair

So now he's buried by the daisies

So I could stay the tallest man in your eyes, babe

 

I sense a spy up in the chimney

From all the evidence I've burned

I guess he'll read it in the smoke now

And soon to ashes I'll return

 

I know the spy is going to tell you

It's not my flag up in the pole

So now he's buried by the lilies

So I could stay forever more in your eyes, babe

 

I sense a leak inside my phone now

From all the lies I have told

I know he has your private number

And soon he'll make that vicious call

 

I know the leak is going to tell you

There ain't now puppy in your leash

So now he'll fertilize the roses

So I could stay the king you see

In your eyes, babe (x2)

 

So now we're dancing through the garden

And what a garden I have made

And now that death will grow my jasmine

I find it soothing I'm afraid

 

Now there is no need for suspicion

There ain't no frog kissing your hand

I won't be lying when I tell you

That I'm a gardner I'm a man

In your eyes babe (x3)

The problem with that is generally nobody cares about the result of them jacking off.
