Go Forth And Die by Dethklok

Trapped inside a box
Four long years
Hiding from the world
Punished by your peers

Studied teachers words
Staff appointed hearts
Earned a piece of paper
No go forth and start

Go forth, be conquered, go forth and die
Go forth, be conquered, go forth and die

Go forth Be conquered
Go Forth and Die

Now you've graduated
Mind is mutilated
Thrust into the world
Feeling segregated
Move in with your parents
Back into the dark
Landed where you started
Bachelor of Arts

The learning starts now...
Open up your textbooks and turn to the
Chapter concerning your DETH

Night sky
Bleeds red
Black birds
Bring DETH

You'll be eaten by the blackness
Of your rotting mind that's dying
You're consumed with sharpened wings
That penetrate your frightened lying

Go die
Go die
Go die go!

Now you're sad and frightened
Want to go and hide
Maybe get your masters
Eight more years inside
Dream of your own murder
Strangled by the IVY
Drown in student loans
Better off just dying

Go Die
Go Die

You'll be eaten by the blackness
Of your rotting mind that's dying
You're consumed with sharpened wings
That penetrate your frightened lying

Go Forth Be conquered
Go forth and die
Go forth be conquered
Go forth and die
Go forth and die
Go forth and die
Go forth and die
Go forth and die

[Pheesh]

Argh, almost too many to put down, but the here's the one that will always spring to my mind first:

3 Libras :: A Perfect Circle

Threw you the obvious
and you flew with it on your back,
a name in your recollection,
thrown down among a million same.

Difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed
and passed over,
when I've looked right through
to see you naked and oblivious
and you don't see me.

But I threw you the obvious
just to see if there's more behind the eyes
of a fallen angel,
the eyes of a tragedy.

Here I am expecting just a little bit
too much from the wounded.
But I see, see through it all
See through, see you.

Cause I threw you the obvious
to see what occurs behind the eyes of a fallen angel,
eyes of a tragedy.

Oh well, oh well
apparently nothing.
Apparently nothing at all.

You don't,
you don't,
you don't,
see me.

you don't see me at all.

[Moon Rabbits]

3 Libras is an awesome song. Judith has ballin' lyrics too. I enjoy far too many lyrics to put down any.

[PuPu]

In the gardens perched on the sky,
The ones where snakes sing lullabies,
I met a man who spoke to me,
A dead man hanging from a tree.

He craned his neck and whispered this:
"Perfection is the great abyss.
Leave now lest you share my fate,
A ghost dangling at heaven's gate."

Why should I fear paradise?
I lived free of mortal vice.
So I trudged on past the sycamores
And stood before the pearly doors.

Through the bars I saw the fields:
The stars mere cogs in ox cart wheels,
The earth a pebble in a stream,
But not one human to be seen.

Undeterred, I gripped the latch.
I pulled, but it came unattached.
Despite my rage, the gates stood firm,
Then grew so hot I smelled flesh burn.

I ran back injured to the groves,
And washed my wounds in waterfalls.
As I bathed I heard the groans,
Of voices wrapped in funeral pall.

Count leaves dangling from a branch,
Thus numbered bodies overhead:
Specters moaning for another chance
To escape the orchard of the dead.

An empty noose caressed my neck
The way my first love had.
A soothing feeling on my neck
To forget the good and bad.
To forget the ones who hurt you,
To forget the ones you hurt,
To forget the hate all men accrue
When their feet still touch the dirt.

OK PuPu! WTF man!

I said to myself "oh, that's interesting, let's have a listen." and for one minute and 40 seconds everything seemed exactly as I imagined it would be...and then...well....I'm not actually quite sure what happened. But the lyrics weren't presented quite as I'd imagined they would be.

I didn't think anyone would actually check it out.

But I'm going to guess that by your post you freaked out and stopped the song as soon as you heard the Black Metal shrieks and Death Metal growls and that you didn't actually listen to the song all the way through.

You should though. As you can tell, this isn't a predictable song and it might occasionally change to parts that sound good to you.

The lyrics aren't ALL shrieked and growled, by the way. They do that because that's how they present it well. Some of the scenes in the song are horrifying, and harsh vocals do a better job of presenting that.

[Moon Rabbits]

There is no reason a song has to be 12 minutes long.

[Pheesh]

I love all 23 minutes and 18 seconds of 'Sleep' By 'Godspeed You! Black Emperor', and that song doesn't even have lyrics.

[PuPu]

Long songs are almost always better and less predictable and less formulaic than short songs.

[Goldenboko]

Don't talk, watch!
Don't talk, watch!
You came here. Watch it.
Don't like it? Walk out.
We still have all your ****ing money.

Do not nudge, kick or jiggle the seat in front of you.
I'm sitting there!
I am everywhere at once
and I will cut you up.

If you make out here,
I will cut your lips and tongue
from your head
with a linoleum knife.

Do not explain the plot.
If you don't understand, then you should not be here.
Your money is our money
and we will spend it on drugs.

Do not crinkle your food wrappers loudly.
Be considerate to others,
or I will bite your torso
and give you a disease.

Did you bring your baby?
Babies don't watch this.
Take the seed outside. Leave it in the streets.
Run over it after the show.

If I see you videotaping this movie,
Satan will rain down your throat with hot acid
and dissolve your testicles
and turn your guts into snakes.

This is copyrighted movie for Time Warner.
If I find that you've sold it on eBay,
I will break into your house
and tear your wife in half.

Cut you up with a Linoleum Knife by Mastodon. If you knew about that song already, you're 5% more awesome then before.

[Crop]

Yo pretty ladies around the world
Got a weird thing to show you
So tell all the boys and girls
Tell your brother, your sister and your mamma too
We´re about to go down
And you know just what to do
Wave your hands in the air like you don´t care
Gilde by the people as they start to look and stare
Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance quick mamma
Come on baby tell me what´s the word

Word up everybody says
When you hear the call you´ve got to get it underway
Word up it´s the code word
No matter where you say it you know that you´ll be heard

Now all you sucker DJ´s who think you´re fly
There´s got to be a reason and we know the reason why
Why you put on thoso airs and you act real cool
Got to realise that you´re acting like fools
If there´s music we can use it
You´re free to dance
We don´t have the time for psychological romance
No romance, no romance, no romance for me mamma
Come on baby tell me what´s the word

Word up everybody says
When you hear the call you´ve got to get it underway

Dial L for love, Dial L for love, Dial L for love
W.O.R.D. UP, W.O.R.D. UP, W.O.R.D. UP, W.O.R.D. UP

Yeh you sucker DJ´s who think you´re fly
There´s got to be a reason and we know the reason why
Why you put on thoso airs and you act real cool
Got to realise that you´re acting like fools
Give us music we can use it, yes, we can dance
We don't have no time for psychological romance
No romance, no romance, no romance for me mamma
Come on baby tell me what´s the word

Word up everybody says
When you hear the call you´ve got to get it underway
Word up it´s the code word
No matter where you say it you know that you´ll be heard

Word up everybody says
When you hear the call you´ve got to get it underway
Word up it´s the code word
No matter where you say it you know that you´ll be heard

Word Up - Cameo. I always found that song pretty deep and meaningful.

Also, long songs are usually boring. 10 minutes at the max for me.

[Slothy]

There is no reason a song has to be 12 minutes long.

Not surprised you'd say that given some of the artists you're into.

For the record, some songs NEED to be longer than 12 minutes, though this isn't one of them.

Tool - Lateralus

Black then white are all i see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see.
as below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

Black then white are all i see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see there is so much more and
beckons me to look thru to these infinite possibilities.
as below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving opportunities behind.
Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

I embrace my desire to
I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired to fathom the power, to witness the beauty,
to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
to swing on the spiral
to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I move myeslf between the sounds and open wide to suck it in.
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out. I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.

es a look on your face I would like to knock out
See the sin in your grin and the shape of your mouth
All I want is to see you in terrible pain
Though we wont ever meet I remember your name
Cant believe you were once just like anyone else
Then you grew and became like the devil himself
Pray to god I can think of a nice thing to say
But I dont think I can so smurf you anyway
You are scum, you are scum and I hope that you know
That the cracks in your smile are beginning to show
Now the world needs to see that its time you should go
Theres no light in your eyes and your brain is too slow
Cant believe you were once just like anyone else
Then you grew and became like the devil himself
Pray to god I can think of a nice thing to say
But I dont think I can, so smurf you anyway
Bet you sleep like a child with your thumb in your mouth
I could creep up beside put a gun in your mouth
Makes me sick when I hear all the that you say
So much crap coming out it must take you all day
Theres a space kept in hell with your name on the seat
With a spike in the chair just to make it complete
When you look at yourself do you see what I see
If you do why the smurf are you looking at me

Why the smurf why the smurf are you looking at me
(Repeat x 4)

Theres a time for us all and I think yours has been
Can you please hurry up cos I find you obscene
We cant wait for the day that youre never around
When that face isnt here and you rot underground
Cant believe you were once just like anyone else
Then you grew and became like the devil himself
Pray to god I can think of a nice thing to say
But I dont think I can so smurf you anyway

So smurf you anyway (Repeat x 11)

House of Pain - I'm A Swing It

I'll give you the chorus and the start of the second verse (love this):

When I die, Bury me (me)
Hang my balls on the cherry tree (tree)
Let them get ripe
Then take a bite
And if they don't taste right
Then don't blame D

You need to quit swingin,
The styles that I'm bringin
The Funk knuckled dragon
Who gits on the wagon
I'm not the 12 stepper
Don't play me like a lever
My mike sounds nice
But it's not salt and pepper

YouTube - Angela Aki - モラルの葬式� (Moraru no Soushiki) with English Subs

Original Japaneseフクロウの鳴き声は「死」の警報で
闇が傷口を開いて満月を出す
信者から不信心者　神父達まで
喪服を着て風の声に耳をすました

今宵はモラルの葬式だ
Pater Noster

流れ星は空の涙
樹々の嗚咽が森に響く
湖は悲哀を
水面を渡る風に伝え
その風が皆を葬儀場へ呼んだ

今宵はモラルの葬式だ

前の方に愛が座り
その隣には
哲学がタバコをくわえ思いにふける
プライドと献身はその真後ろで
やけに深刻な顔をして話し込んでいる

誰もが動揺を隠せない
Pater Noster

知恵に手を引かれたまだ幼い無垢が
棺の中に白いバラを投げ込むと
理性が席を立って　黒いベールをまくり
式の最後に皆の前でゆっくりと語り始めた

「息子との突然の別れに私は今
心を乱している
凛とした彼の声
まっすぐなまなざしを
いつまでも忘れない

今でもきっと灯台の様に
私達を照らしている
迷った時　はぐれた時
道が見えない時
善と悪の節目にそっと
あなたの心に　彼は生き続ける」

Pater Noster

同情が激しくうなずき
拍手が起こり
真実が理性の耳元で言った

「私も息子がいたの
希望がいなくなっても彼は今でも
皆の中で生きている」

フクロウが鳴き止んで飛び立った頃
朝もやをかきわけながら太陽が出た

English TranslationThe call of the owl is an omen of death,
and as the full moon appears, the darkness opens up the wounds.
The believers and the non-believers, even the priests
donned their mourning clothes as the wind whispers in their ears

“Tonight is the funeral of Morals”
Pater Noster(*)

The falling stars are the tears of the sky.
The weeping of the trees echoes in the forest.
The grief of the wind is reflected
on the water’s surface as it crosses the lake
calling everyone to the funeral site

Tonight is the funeral of Morals

Sitting at the front is Love,
and next to her is Philosophy;
sitting there smoking his tabacco, lost in thought.
Right behind him sit Pride and Devotion
lost in conversation, their faces full of sincerity

And none of them can hide their unrest
Pater Noster

The young Purity grasps the hand of Wisdom
while throwing a white rose into the coffin.
Sense sits down on her seat, rolling down her black veil
and after the ceremony is over, they slowly started this conversation:

“Suddenly, my son was taken away from me
throwing my heart into disarray.
He had a dignified voice,
and always looked straight ahead.
It’s something I’ll never forget.

Surely even now, he is like a lighthouse,
shining his light to guide us
when we are lost and astray,
when we can no longer see the road ahead.
He will live forever in your heart,
marking both good and evil and evil like a milestone.”

Pater Noster

With the nodding of their heads and the
clapping of their hands they show their sympathy.
And Truth whispers to Reason:

“I had a son as well, and even
though Hope is no longer with us,
he continues to live inside of us”

As the owl flies away and ceases its cries
the mist clears up, the sun appears in the sky
