wow, ubereil, u listen to dire straits too? good for u! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

i'm a big fan of the band & i thought i'm an odd one at my age to listen to foggies like them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> i think Mea (being an aussie foggy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" /> ) listens to them too.

here's also from Dire Straits - Telegraph Road (one of my all-time fav songs)

A long time ago came a man on a track
walking thirty miles with a pack on his back
and he put down his load where he thought it was the best
made a home in the wilderness
he built a cabin and a winter store
and he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
and the other travellers came riding down the track
and they never went further, no, they never went back

then came the churches then came the schools
then came the lawyers then came the rules
then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
and the dirty old track was the telegraph road

Then came the mines - then came the ore
then there was the hard times then there was a war
telegraph sang a song about the world outside
telegraph road got so deep and so wide
like a rolling river. . .

And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze
people driving home from the factories
there's six lanes of traffic
three lanes moving slow. . .

I used to like to go to work but they shut it down
I got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found
yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
we're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed
and the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles
they can always fly away from this rain and this cold
you can hear them singing out their telegraph code
all the way down the telegraph road

You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights
when life was just a bet on a race between the lights
you had your head on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair
now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care
but believe in me baby and I'll take you away
from out of this darkness and into the day
from these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain
from the anger that lives on the streets with these names
'cos I've run every red light on memory lane
I've seen desperation explode into flames
and I don't want to see it again. . .

From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed
all the way down the telegraph road

I always loved "Money for Nothing".
Knopfler is one of a kind. I still consider him to be one of the best guitar players ever.

Yup. I listen to Dire Straits too. And Telegraph Road is my favorite Dire Straits song too. But that's not for the lyrics...

The song or the album? Since I forgot to reply to DatD's:

I'll do that now.

I too think Mark Knopfler (sounds a little German that, don't you think?) is one of the best guitarplayers ever. When he gets going that is, like he did on Telegraph Road. That last solo must be one of the best ever. He didn't get going on Brother in Arms (the album AND the song) though <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />. The album is in my oppinion way to stiff and controlled. A pitty really since some of the songs are just great, like Money for Nothing and Bother in Arms. The Why Worry verision is beutifull, though (this is my brothers favorite Dire Straits song ever acually. When I bought it my brother said: Great, now we have a verision of it that is better than mum's 20-years-old tapeverision recorded from radio! He havn't borrowed it once.). Love those guitars.
If you whant good verisions of some Dire Straits songs you could try out On the Night. It's a livealbum with ten songe, includeing Calling Elvis (where Knopfler goes nuts on the guitarr), Walk of Life, Heavy Fuel, Romeo and Juliet (10 minutes long <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />. Great verision, I acually think it beats the oroginal verision. You know, the one where it sounds like Knopfler is playing a banio and not a guitarr), Private Investigations (allso this allmost 10 minutes long, and a better verision than the original.), Your Latest Trick, On Every Street, You and your Friend (the only song I haven't heard the original verision. My mother has got the album on LP <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/alien.gif" alt="" /> but our LP player (don't know how to say it in English, I hope you know what I am referring to) is broken, so I can't listen to it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />), Money for Nothing (where Knopfler goes nuts on the guitarr. Great song and verision) and Brother in Arms (where Knopfler goes nuts on the guitarr. Beutifull verision of a great song.)
(Small comment, don't you think <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />). And some lyrics (not feeling down anymore):

Heavy Fuel by Dire Straits (sticking to the subject)

Last time I was sober, man I felt bad
Worst hangover that I ever had
It took six hamburgers and scotch all night
Nicotine for breakfast just to put me right

'Cos if you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool, you got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel, heavy, heavy fuel

My life makes perfect sense
Lust and food and violence
Sex and money are my major kicks
Get me in a fight I like dirty tricks

'Cos if you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool, you got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel, heavy, heavy fuel

My chick loves a man who's strong
The things she'll do to turn me on
I love the babes, don't get me wrong
Hey, that's why I wrote this song

I don't care if my liver is hanging by a thread
Don't care if my doctor says I ought to be dead
When my ugly big car won't climb this hill
I'll write my suicide note on a hundred dollar bill

'Cos if you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool, you got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel, heavy, heavy fuel

Ubereil

I meant the whole album, mate. We used to have the vinyl.
Funny that you said it: On The Night is the only Dire Straits CD I have.
Wait, I think my father had "On Every Street" somewhere.
Nuff' said: I am a big fan of Dire Straits.

Lucretia:
Since I changed my internet provider (4.0 DSL yeah!), my new email would be deathatthedoorATsympatico.ca (replace AT with @) but I usually check deathatthedoorATgmail.com. Thanks.

I'd post a classic now:

=============================
THE CURE---Burn

don't look, don't look
the shadows breathe
whispering me away from you
don't wake at night to watch her sleep
you know that you will always sleep
this trembling, adored, toussled bird-mad girl

every night i burn
every night i call your name
every night i burn
every night i fall again

don't talk of love the shadows purr
murmuring me away from you
don't talk of worlds that never were
the end is all that's ever true
there's nothing you can ever say
nothing you can ever do

still every night i burn
every night i scream your name
every night i burn
every night the dream's the same
every night i burn
waiting for my only friend
every night i burn
waiting for the world to end

just paint your face the shadows smile
slipping me away from you
oh it doesn't matter how you hide
find you if we're wanting to
so slide back down and close your eyes
sleep awhile - you must be tired

when every night i burn
every night i call your name
every night i burn
every night i fall again

every night i burn
scream the animal screams
every night i burn
dream the crow black dream

dream the crow black dream


Still every night I burn, every night I scream your name.
Every night I burn, Every night the dream's the same.

Every night I burn, screaming the animal scream
Every night I burn, dreaming the crow-black dream. yeah, yeah
Dreaming the crow-black dream...
=============================

Was it posted here before? I think and I hope so, for it is a trully magic song.
I confess: I wanted to quote Type O' Negative, but some lyrics sound strange when read.

I ment the song but I liked the whole album equal. The first song I liked was Money for Nothing but when I listen the whole album I loved Brothers in Arms.

@ Dear Death,
Thnx for your mail address. Yes I have posted Burn before. It is one of my most fav. songs from Cure and I loved it the moment I saw the movie (The Crow). It is a magic song indeed. I am very happy you liked it too. Ah there is a place here in Athens called "Dark Sun". It is the one of the only two Gothic clubs in here and when Leo (the DJ) plays the "Burn" song I create total chaos in there. *Luc smiles with a diabolic smile*
Ah yes Type O negative... I have thought it too. But imagine what it would happen if I have posted "My girlfirend's girlfriend" in here...

*Luc is very happy talking for music and that DATD is back and dances with joy*

What a coincidence! I thought about My Girlfriend's Girlfriend too!

Listening to Joy Division - Heart and Soul.
I'd post that too but Joy Division, far from easy listening, is dark, even for a goth band, so I'll post one of my favorite New Order songs instead.

========================
Blue Monday

How does it feel
To treat me like you do
When you’ve laid your hands upon me
And told me who you are

I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard your words
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now how do I feel

Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They will turn away no more

And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But I’m quite sure that you’ll tell me
Just how I should feel today

I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn’t for your misfortunes
I’d be a heavenly person today

And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now how should I feel

Now I stand here waiting

I thought I told you to leave me
While I walked down to the beach
Tell me how does it feel
When your heart grows cold
(grows cold, grows cold, grows cold)

wow! didn't know u love dire straits, Death ol' dude! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> u have good taste in music.

ubereil & death, i'm sure u guys can get the cd's for dire straits in a bargain bin, especially for the older albums (never forget to get the first if u haven't already).

talk about Brothers In Arms, although the sound may be too controlled, it's refreshing im a way that knopfler & the boys are trying something new & it's great. i personally like 'You & Your Latest Trick' best in the album. it's just too cool! very refined.

& as for On Every Street album, i love almost all of the songs in there as they're so so refreshing (paul franklin on lap steel is a blessing). the last song on that album (How Long?) features mark & paul franklin complementing each other & the chemistry is beautiful.

On The Night is great as well, no doubt. but i believe Alchemy is the best live album from the yorkshire boys.

ubereil, i believe mark knopfler played steel front f-hole guitar (just like the one on the cover of Brothers In Arms) for Romeo & Juliet, not banjo. please correct me if i'm wrong.

by the way, has anyone checked out the Cure's latest album? i wonder how good is it since there are quite number of bad reviews of it. well, bad because the reviewers have very high expectations, i think.

here's another one from the Cure, the song that makes me sad everytime i listen to it; there is no if;

Remember the first time I told you I love you
It was raining hard and you never heard
You sneezed! and I had to say it over
"I said 'I love you'" I said...you didn't say a word
Just held your hands to my shining eyes
And I watched as the rain ran through your fingers
Held your hands to my shining eyes and smiled as you kissed me

"If you die," you said, "so do I" you said...
And it starts the day you make the sign
"Tell me I'm forever yours and you're forever mine
Forever mine..."
"If you die," you said, "so do I" you said...
And it starts the day you cross that line
"Swear I will always be yours and you'll always be mine
You'll always be mine
Always be mine..."

Remember the last time I told you I love you
It was warm and safe in a perfect world
You yawned and I had tos ay it over
"I said 'I love you'" I said...you didn't say a word
Just held your hands to your shining eyes
And I watched as the tears ran through your fingers
Held your hands to your shining eyes and cried

"If you die," you said, "so do I" you said...
But it ends the day you see how it is
There is no always forever...just this...
Just this...
"If you die," you said, "so do I" you said
But it ends the day you understand
There is no if...just and
There is no if...

edit: Luc, glad u're around more often now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/party.gif" alt="" />

@ ubereil & dude o' death -> check out mark knopfler's collaboration with the late chet atkins (one of the best acoustic guitarist ever!) called Neck & Neck.

Ah nice choice indeed. Blue Monday that is.
I love Joy Division and now that you mentioned it...
Yes it is very dark. But on the other hand it is very tender.

Shadowplay - Joy Division

To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you,
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you,
I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you,
In a room with a window in the corner I found truth.

In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more,
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor,
And with cold steel, odour on their bodies, made a move to connect,
But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left.

I did everything, everything I wanted to,
I let them use you for their own ends,
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you,
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you.

And this is my most fav from Joy

New Dawn Fades - Joy Division

A change of speed, a change of style.
A change of scene, with no regrets,
A chance to watch, admire the distance,
Still occupied, though you forget.
Different colours, different shades,
Over each mistakes were made.
I took the blame.
Directionless, so plain to see,
A loaded gun won't set you free.
So you say.

We'll share a drink and step outside,
An angry voice and one who cried,
We'll give you everything and more,
The strain's too much, can't take much more.
Oh, I've walked on water, run through fire,
Can't seem to feel it anymore.
It was me, waiting for me,
Hoping for something more,
Me, seeing me this time, hoping for something else

you can have my everything...

Yes, he fell for it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />
Acually I wasn't serious, I just think it sounds a little like a banjo, but for all I know you could be right. I can't imagine I am.
Just listened to Show (Cure live). Nice concert. I acually think some of the songs are better than the original (like Open, A Night like this and Lullaby), but at the end there are just too many Wish songs to be good. There's not much wrong with Wish but all that is wrong with it, you notice here, and in much bigger propotions (did I spell that correctly? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />). Some lyrics:

Open by the Cure (the Show verision comes with an intro specially written for this consert <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />)

I really don't know what I'm doing here
I really think I should've gone to bed tonight but...
Just one drink and there're some people to meet you
And I think that you'll like them
I have to say we do
and I promise in less than an hour we will honestly go
Now why don't I just get you another
while you just say hello...
You just say hello...
Yeah just say hello...

So I'm clutching it tight
Another glass in my hand
and my mouth and the smiles
moving up as I stand up
too close and too wide
and the smiles are too bright
and I breathe in too deep
and my head's getting light
But the air is getting heavier and it's closer
and I'm starting to sway
and the hands on all my shoulders don't have names
and they won't go away
so here i go
here I go again...

Falling into strangers and it's only just eleven
And I'm staring like a child until someone slips me heaven
And I take it on my knees just like a thousand times before
and i get transfixed
that fixed
And I'm just looking at the floor
Just looking at the floor
Yeah I look at the floor

And I'm starting to laugh
like an animal in pain
I've got blood on my hands
I've got hands in my brain
And the first short retch
leaves me gasping for more
and I stagger over screaming
on my way down to the floor
And I'm back on my back
with the lights and the lies in my eyes
And the colour and the music's too loud
and my head's all the wrong size
so here i go
here i go again...

Yeah I laugh and I jump
and I sing and I laugh
and I dance and I laugh
and I laugh and I laugh
But I can't seem to think
where this is
who I am
Why I'm keeping this going
Keep pouring it out
Keep pouring it down
Keeping it going
Keep pouring it down

And the way the rain comes down hard
that's the way I feel inside...

I can't take it anymore
This it i've become
This is it like i get
when my life's going numb
I just keep moving my mouth
I just keep moving my feet
I say I'm loving you to death
like I'm losing my breath
And all the smiles that I wear
And all the games that I play
And all the drinks that I mix
and I drink until I'm sick
And all the faces that I make
And all the shapes that I throw
And all the people I meet
And all the words that I know
Makes me sick to the heart
oh i feel so tired...

And the way the rain comes down hard
that's how i fell inside... (it shure is)

Next:

Just like Heaven by the Cure (for some strange reason my favorite Curesong. I think it's because I heard it for the firt time when I was around ten. Then my brother played it for me, and then he translated the text for me. I didn't hear it for six years but I still knew the major contence of the lyrics, I knew that guitarrsling that I love so much and I still kenw how to play it on a piand(Check out http://www.mtv.com/bands/az/cure/33889/album.jhtml if you whant to hear the first 30 seconds of it)).

"Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it
And I promise you
I promise that I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face
I kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had to make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you"

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
Just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You

Just like heaven

Close To The Edge Lyrics



I. The Solid Time Of Change
(Anderson/Howe)

A seasoned witch could call you from the depths of your disgrace,
And rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace,
And achieve it all with music that came quickly from afar,
Then taste the fruit of man recorded losing all against the hour.
And assessing points to nowhere, leading ev'ry single one.
A dewdrop can exalt us like the music of the sun,
And take away the plain in which we move,
And choose the course you're running.

Down at the edge, round by the corner,
Not right away, not right away.
Close to the edge, down by a river,
Not right away, not right away.

Crossed the line around the changes of the summer,
Reaching out to call the color of the sky.
Passed around a moment clothed in mornings faster than we see.
Getting over all the time I had to worry,
Leaving all the changes far from far behind.
We relieve the tension only to find out the master's name.

Down at the end, round by the corner.
Close to the edge, just by a river.
Seasons will pass you by.
I get up, I get down.
Now that it's all over and done,
Now that you find, now that you're whole.

II. Total Mass Retain
(Anderson/Squire)

My eyes convinced, eclipsed with the younger moon attained with love.
It changed as almost strained amidst clear manna from above.
I crucified my hate and held the word within my hand.
There's you, the time, the logic, or the reasons we don't understand.

Sad courage claimed the victims standing still for all to see,
As armoured movers took approached to overlook the sea.
There since the cord, the license, or the reasons we understood will be.

Down at the edge, close by a river.
Close to the edge, round by the corner.
Close to the end, down by the corner.
Down at the edge, round by the river.

Sudden problems shouldn't take away the startled memory.
All in all, the journey takes you all the way.
As apart from any reality that you've ever seen and known.
Guessing problems only to deceive the mention,
Passing paths that climb halfway into the void.
As we cross from side to side, we hear the total mass retain.

Down at the edge, round by the corner.
Close to the end, down by a river.
Seasons will pass you by.
I get up, I get down.

III. I Get Up, I Get Down
(Anderson/Howe)

In her white lace, you could clearly see the lady sadly looking.
Saying that she'd take the blame
For the crucifixion of her own domain. I get up,
I get down,
I get up,
I get down.

Two million people barely satisfy.
Two hundred women watch one woman cry, too late.
The eyes of honesty can achieve.
How many millions do we deceive each day?
I get up, I get down.
I get up, I get down.

In charge of who is there in charge of me.
Do I look on blindly and say I see the way?
The truth is written all along the page.
How old will I be before I come of age for you?
I get up, I get down.
I get up, I get down.
I get up, I get down.

IV. Seasons Of Man
(Anderson/Howe)

The time between the notes relates the color to the scenes.
A constant vogue of triumphs dislocate man, it seems.
And space between the focus shape ascend knowledge of love.
As song and chance develop time, lost social temp'rance rules above.
Ah, ah.

Then according to the man who showed his outstretched arm to space,
He turned around and pointed, revealing all the human race.
I shook my head and smiled a whisper, knowing all about the place.
On the hill we viewed the silence of the valley,
Called to witness cycles only of the past.
And we reach all this with movements in between the said remark.

Close to the edge, down by the river.
Down at the end, round by the corner.
Seasons will pass you by,
Now that it's all over and done,
Called to the seed, right to the sun.
Now that you find, now that you're whole.
Seasons will pass you by,
I get up, I get down.
I get up, I get down.
I get up, I get down.
I get up.

u're not alone, ubereil. most people got hooked on Cure because of Just Like Heaven. people like me! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> in fact most artistes & bands that are hooked on the Cure also cover this song. my most fav would be the crazy version done by J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. i recall Smashing Pumpkins did a cover of Night Like This.

can anyone recall who else did covers of the Cure & still sound good, though maybe not as good as the original?

I don't know if they sound good but Pumpkins have done covers on Boy's don't cry and Inbetween Days too (acording to a Pumpkins/Swan site). They have done covers on a lot of strange bands (at least compared with Pumpkins. Not that the bands in question or Pumpkins is strange, it's just when you compare them.). Like Ace of Bace (not too proud to say this but they're) from Sweden.

Ah those songs! I got so mad when I heard the cover from D. Junior!
Show was a good live but try Concert Ubereil. It sure worth the try. It contains older songs performed live.
Generally I do not like the remakes of the Cure songs from other groups.

Bullet ~ Covenant

time is like a bullet from behind
I run for cover just like you
time is like a liquid in my hands
I swim for dry land just like you

time is like a blanket on my face
I try to be here just like you
time is just a fiction of our minds
I will survive and so will you

we are the only ones right now that are celebrating
and we are joining hands right now
we are the only ones right now that are suffocating
we are the dying ones right now

as the water grinds the stone
we rise and fall
as our ashes turn to dust
we shine like stars

kisses on the dancefloor in my past
I need some comfort just like you
beating like a bass drum time goes by
I want the last dance just like you

drowning in the flood of morning light
I'm only human just like you
do you hear the city waking up
I will survive and so will you

we are the ones the only ones
we are the ones the dying ones
we are the ones the only ones
we are the ones and we are joining hands

we are the only ones right now that are celebrating…

as the water grinds the stone…

Hello everyone!
Blind Guardian - a power-metal group; many of their songs are about the world of J.R.R. Tolkien. And they also sound much better when they are played, not read..

The Bard's Song: In The Forest

Now You all know
The bards and their songs
When hours have gone by
I'll close my eyes
In a world far away
We may meet again
But now hear my song
About the dawn of the night
Let's sing the bards' song

Ref.:
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
Noone will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow will take it away
The fear of today
It will be gone
Due to our magic songs

There's only one song
Left in my mind
Tales of a brave man
Who lived far from here
Now the bard songs are over
And it's time to leave
Noone should ask You for the name
Of the one
Who tells the story

Ref.:
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
Noone will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow all will be known
And You're not alone
So don't be afraid
In the dark and cold
'Cause the bards' songs will remain
They all will remain

In my thoughts and in my dreams
They're always in my mind
These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men
And elves
Come close Your eyes
You can see them, too

I think it´s time to come up with a great song, very popular in Germnay and Austria at the moment.
(no panic, it´s in english - well - sort of! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> )


Intro:
yuh remember wha garnet a sing?
If yuh know not god yuh know not love, no no
cause god is love

chorus:
i know jah love it is superior
your devil complex inferior oh yes
worshipping material
bowing to your silver and gold (repeat)

1.verse:
somebody tell me
cause i really got to know
i read a lot of history
but tings nuh really show no no
why dem drop the bombs ina arabia
why the children bawl and suffer ina africa
leaders of the world just fighting for superpower
but judgement ago fall upon dem head like rain shower

chorus (repeat)

2.verse:
unno betta love the likkle youths
nuh terrorize dem
teach the youths the truth nuh criticize dem
open up your eyes and realize then
yuh hafi keep yuh hafi care you hafi guide dem
war and crime will divide dem
unno betta show the youths your face and don't yuh hide dem
and then equality and justice will unite dem
lift up your voice and yuh got to sing the anthem


chorus (repeat)

3.verse
long time we fed up a your promises and lies
your illusion and religion just covering our eyes
frustration a starvation multiply
depression until the well a run dry
can't yuh show the love man and not the animosity
can't yuh live a life how it is said in duteronemy
me coulda be your friend
why yuh want to be my enemy
yuh can't tek dem speed jah over jah so so come follow we come follow we

chorus (repeat)

Geeze, I haven't post One yet <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />! Better do it:

One by Metallica

I can’t remember anything
Can’t tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me
I’m waking up I can not see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god,wake me

Back in the womb it’s much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can’t look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I’ll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god,wake me

Now the world is gone I’m just one
Oh god,help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God help me

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell

Good lyrics but, most of all an absolutely BRILLINT song.

Übereil
