We’ll Burn The Sky -Scorpions

I’m in love with the sunshine
I’m in love with the fallin’ rain
Everything seems to call your name

Yesterday you were leavin’
Leavin’ life and all your pain
Everything wants you back again
Wants you back again
Wants you back again

I found myself through you
And there was love in my life
I felt always naturally high
And my love had a home
But now my mind has started to roam
You’re my life giving fire
And you carry all my love
Through you I was so inspired
You’re engraved deep in my heart
Heart, heart, heart

My dreams recall us being one
I’ve searched for you to be free
The force of life you have always been

I feel blue since you’re gone
You’re breath of life surrounded me
When can I join you to be free
Join you to be free
Join you to be free

Wait, can this be a dream
There is a voice in my head
It belongs to you, it says
Don’t cry, no need to be sad
There’s a way to stay with you again
It’s more than you ever had
And no death brings us apart
Our timeless love always grows
Because you are my other part

I know we’ve never been apart
Your love sets fire to my heart
We’ll burn the sky
When it’s time for me to die

We’ll burn the sky, oh yeah
We’ll burn the sky, oh yeah
When it’s time, time, time
We’ll burn the sky
We’ll burn the sky, oh yeah

At night I walk this stinkin’ street
Past the crazies on my block
And I see the same old faces
And I hear that same old talk
And I’m searching for the latest thing
A break in this routine
I’m talkin’ some new kicks
Ones like you ain’t never seen

This is home
This is Meanstreet
It’s our home
The only one I know

And we don’t worry 'bout tomorrow
Cause we’re sick of these four walls
Now what’d ya think is nothing
Might be something after all
Now you know this ain’t no through street
The end is dead ahead
The poor folks play for keeps down here
They’re the living dead

Come on down
Down to Meanstreet
They’re dancing now
Out on Meanstreet
It’s always here and now, my friend
It ain’t once upon a time
It’s all over but the shouting
I’ll come and I’ll take what’s mine
We’re searching for the latest thing
A break in this routine
Talkin’ some new kicks
Ones like you ain’t never seen
This is home
This is Meanstreet
It’s our home
Only one I know
(This is home) See, a gun is real easy
(This is Meanstreet)
In this desperate part of town
(This is home)
Turns you from hunted into hunter
(This is Meanstreet)
Go and hunt somebody down
(This is home)
But hear me now,
somebody said “Fair Warning, Lord !”
(This is Meanstreet)
Lord, strike that poor boy down

Die Young -Black Sabbath

Ooh

Gather the wind, though the wind won’t help you fly at all
Your back’s to the wall
Chain the sun and it tears away
To face you as you run, you run, you run

Behind the smile, there’s danger and a promise to be told
You’ll never get old
Life’s fantasy to be locked away
And still, to think you’re free, you’re free, we’re free

So live for today
Tomorrow never comes

Die young, die young
Can’t you see the writing in the air?
Die young, gonna die young
Someone stopped the fair

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah

Gather the wind, though the wind won’t help you fly at all
Your back’s to the wall
Then chain the sun and it tears away
To face you as you run, you run, you run

So live for today
Tomorrow never comes

Die young, young
Die young, die young
Die young, die young, young
Die young, die young
Die young, die young, die young, die young, die young

They say that the night life
They say it ain’t no good life
But it’s my life

I’ve been a gambler
I’ve been a thief
And most of my good friends
They don’t, don’t hold with my belief

They say that the night life
They say it ain’t no good life
Oh but, baby, you know that it’s my life

And if you’ve had them troubles
If you’ve felt them woes
I don’t have to tell you
How this whole world is so cold

Hey now, baby
It can drive you crazy
Oh but, baby
Baby, the night life’s for me
Listen

Just one more time
I’ll hit the road
And I want to thank you
I want to thank the Lord

For that old night life
Some say it ain’t no good life
But, baby, baby
There ain’t nothing like this night life

If your circle stays unbroken
Then you’re a lucky man
'Cause it never, never, never has for me

In the palace of the virgin
Lies the chalice of the soul
And it’s likely you might find the answer there

She had thirteen years of teenage tears
And never a helping hand
She had fourteen more of rain before
She saw the sight of land
She was a photograph just ripped in half
A smile inside a frown
And in the light, the answer right
Inside her coming down

It said
I can go away
I can leave here
I can be invisible
I go away

He was just eighteen and in-between
A lady and a man
His daddy’s girl in mama’s world
That was when he ran
You know the word confused has been abused
But that’s just what he was
And then the spark inside the dark
The answer came because it said

You can go away
You can leave here
You can be invisible

Well I grew up quick and I felt the kick
Of life upon a stage
So I bought the book and then I took a fast look
At just the very last page
It was a single word that I’d just heard
From the two that came before
The only way to really stay
Is to walk right out the door

So I go away
I’m gonna leave here
I can be invisible
Go away again

I can go away
When I leave here
I can be invisible

I said, when you can go away
Lord you know it’s right to leave here
So I just become invisible
I went away
Disappeared before your eyes

You never touch me, you never feel me
You’ll never see me again
Because I’ve just become unseen

Well I’m a photograph that’s been torn in half
We’re all eighteen and we’re in between
We need a helping hand to the holy land
To be invisible
To go away

I lose control because of you babe
I lose control when you look at me like this
There’s something in your
eyes that is saying tonight
I’m not a child anymore,
Love has opened the door
To a new exciting life

I lose control when I’m close to you babe
I lose control, don’t look at me like this
There’s something in your eyes,
is this love at first sight
Like a flower that grows,
Life just wants you to know
All the secrets of life

It’s all written down in your lifelines
It’s written down inside your heart

You and I just have a dream
To find our love a place
Where we can hide away
You and I, we’re just made
To love each other now
Forever and a day

I lose control because of you babe
I lose control don’t look at me like this
There’s something in your
eyes that is saying tonight
I’m so curious for more just like never before
In my innocent life

It’s all written down in your lifelines
It’s written down inside your heart

You and I just have a dream
To find our love a place,
where we can hide away
You and I, were just made
To love each other now,
forever and a day

Time stands still, when the days of innocence
Are falling for the night
I love you girl, I always will
I swear I’m there for you
Till the day I die, yeah

You and I just have a dream
To find our love a place,
where we can hide away
You and I, were just made
To love each other now,
forever and a day

You and I just have a dream
To find our love a place,
where we can hide away
You and I, were just made
To love each other now,
forever and a day

You and I
You and I

Where do I take this pain of mine?
I run but it stays right by my side

So tear me open, pour me out
There’s things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me until it sleeps

Just like the curse, just like the stray
You feed it once and now it stays
Now it stays

So tear me open, but beware
There’s things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me until I’m clean
It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, so hold me
Until it sleeps (Until it sleeps, until it sleeps)

So tell me why you’ve chosen me?
Don’t want your grip, don’t want your greed
Don’t want it

I’ll tear me open, make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me until it sleeps
It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me, yeah
It hates you, so hold me, yeah
It holds you, holds you, holds you
Until it sleeps (Until it sleeps, until it sleeps)
Until it sleeps (Until it sleeps)

I don’t want it
I don’t want it, want it, want it
Want it, want it, no

So tear me open, but beware
There’s things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me 'til I’m clean
I’ll tear me open, make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the hate still shapes me
So hold me until it sleeps
(Until it sleeps, until it sleeps)
Until it sleeps (Until it sleeps)

Lost in the sky
Clouds roll by and I roll with them
Arrows fly
Seas increase and then fall again

This world is spinning around me
This world is spinning without me and
Every day sends future to past
Every breath leaves me one less to my last

Watch the sparrow falling
Gives new meaning to it all
If not today nor yet tomorrow
Then some other day
I’ll take seven lives for one
And then my only father’s son
As sure as I did ever love him
I am not afraid

This world is spinning around me
The whole world keeps spinning around me
All life is future to past
Every breath leaves me one less to my last

Pull me under, pull me under
Pull me under, I’m not afraid
All that I feel is honor and spite
All I can do is to set it right

Dust fills my eyes
Clouds roll by and I roll with them
Centuries cry
Orders fly and I fall again

This world is spinning inside me
The whole world is spinning inside of me
Every day sends future to past
Every step brings me closer to my last

Pull me under, pull me under
Pull me under, I’m not afraid
Living my life too much in the sun
Only until your will is done

Pull me under, pull me under
Pull me under, I’m not afraid
All that I feel is honor and spite
All I can do is set it right

Pull me under, pull me under
Pull me under, I’m not afraid
Living my life too much in the sun
Only until your will is done

Oh that this too
Too solid flesh
Would melt

Jane - Jefferson Starship

Jane, you say, “It’s all over”
For you and me, girl
There’s a time for love
And a time for letting it be, baby

Jane, you’re playin’ a game called
Called hard to get by its real name
Makin’ believe that you just don’t feel the same
Oh, Jane

Jane, you’re playin’ a game
You never can win, girl
You’re stayin’ away, so I’ll ask you
“Where you’ve been, baby?”

Like a cat and a mouse (cat and a mouse)
From door to door and house to house
Don’t you pretend you don’t know
What I’m talkin’ about

Were all those nights we spent together, hey, hey
Only because you didn’t know better
I gotta know

Jane, you’re playin’ a game
You’re playin’ a game
Playin’ a game

Oh Jane, you’re playin’ a game of hide and go seek
Jane, you’re playin’ for fun
But I play for keeps, yes I do

That’s a game on me, yeah
(Jane, Jane, Jane)
It’s so plain to see
(Jane, Jane, Jane)
Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane, yeah

Why you fooling with me? Me, me

The Raven - The Cheeky Celt

Through the mist I see her wings
A shadow black where twilight clings
The raven calls the night to rise
A song of stars that pierce the skies

Oh raven raven take my soul
Fly where the endless rivers roll
Through ancient trees and whispered streams
Oh raven raven carry my dreams

Her feathers catch the moon’s pale fire
A silent witness to desire
She knows the secrets I have lost
Each truth I’ve hidden each line I’ve crossed

Oh tell me where the winds have gone
And why the earth still hums her song

Oh raven raven take my soul
Fly where the endless rivers roll
Through ancient trees and whispered streams
Oh raven raven carry my dreams

Beneath her wings the world unwinds
She sees the threads we leave behind
No words no vows no promises stay
The raven comes and sweeps them away

Oh raven raven take my soul
Fly where the endless rivers roll
Through ancient trees and whispered streams
Oh raven raven carry my dreams

Diamonds and Rust-Joan Baez/Judas Priest

Well, I’ll be damned, here comes your ghost again

But that’s not unusual

It’s just that the moon is full, and you happened to call

And here I sit, hand on the telephone, hearing a voice I’d known

A couple of light years ago, heading straight for a fall

As I remember, your eyes were bluer than Robin’s eggs

My poetry was lousy, you said, “Where are you calling from?”

A booth in the Midwest

Ten years ago, I bought you some cufflinks

You brought me something

We both know what memories can bring

They bring diamonds and rust

Well, you burst on the scene already a legend

The unwashed phenomenon, the original vagabond, you strayed into my arms

And there you stayed, temporarily lost at sea, the Madonna was yours for free

Yes, the girl on the half-shell could keep you unharmed

Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling around and snow in your hair

Now you’re smiling out the window of that crummy hotel over Washington Square

Our breath comes out in white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air

Speaking strictly for me, we both could have died then and there

Now you’re telling me, you’re not nostalgic

Then give me another word for it, you were so good with words

And at keeping things vague

'Cause I need some of that vagueness now, it’s all come back too clearly

Yes I loved you dearly

And if you’re offering me diamonds and rust, I’ve already paid

Turn the spotlights on the people
Switch the dial and eat the worm
Take your chances, kill the engine
Drop your bombs and let it burn

White flags shot to ribbons
The truce is black and burned
Shellshock in the kitchen
Tables overturned

Back in the village again
In the village
I’m back in the village again

Throwing dice now, rolling loaded
I see sixes all the way
In a black hole, and I’m spinning
As my wings get shot away

Questions are a burden
And answers are a prison for oneself
Shellshock in the kitchen
Tables start to burn

Back in the village again
In the village
I’m back in the village again

No breaks on the inside
Paper cats and burning barns
There’s a fox among the chickens
And a killer in the hounds

Questions are a burden
And answers are a prison for oneself
Shellshock in the kitchen
Tables start to burn

Back in the village again
In the village
I’m back in the village again

But still, we walk into the valley
And others try to kill the inner flame
We’re burning brighter than before
I don’t have a number, I’m a name!

Back in the village again
In the village
I’m back in the village again
Back in the village again
In the village
I’m back in the village again

Back in the village
I’m back in the village
I’m back in the village again

If there isn’t light when no one sees
Then how can I know what you might believe?
A story told that can’t be real
Somehow must reflect the truth we feel, yeah

Fade away, fade away
Vanish into small
Fade away, fade away
Break the crystal ball
Oh

It’s the sign
Feels like the time!

On a small world, west of wonder
Somewhere, nowhere all
There’s a rainbow that will shimmer
When the summer falls
If an echo doesn’t answer
When it hears a certain sound
Then the beast is free to wander
But never is seen around

And it’s the Sign of the Southern Cross
It’s the Sign of the Southern Cross
All right
Sail away
To the sign
Oh

From the book, the word is spoken
Whispers from forgotten song
Gather all around the young ones
They will make us strong
Reach above your dreams of pleasure
Give a life to those who died
Look beyond your own horizons
Sail the ship of sighs

And it’s the Sign of the Southern Cross
It’s the Sign of the Southern Cross
Fade away, fade away
Break the crystal ball
Fade away, fade away
I can’t accept it anymore

On a real world, west of wonder
Somewhere, nowhere all
There’s a rainbow, see it shimmer
When the summer falls
From the book, the word is spoken
Whispers from forgotten song
Gather all around the young ones
They will make us strong!

It’s the Sign of the Southern Cross
It’s the Sign of the Southern Cross

Don’t live for pleasure
Make life your treasure
Fade away!
Eight miles high, about to fall
And no one there to catch you
Look for the sign, the time
The Sign of the Southern Cross, yeah

I am anger
Under pressure
Locked in cages
A prisoner
The first to escape

I am wicked
I am legion
Strength in numbers
A lie
The number is one

I - I - I
Everything that I see is for me

Yes, I am giant
I’m a monster
Breaking windows
In houses
Buildings of glass
Rebel rebel
Holy outlaw
Ride together
Don’t try it
The power’s in one

I - I - I
I am standing alone
But I can rock you
I - I - I

On the edge of the blade
But the knife can’t cut the hero down

I am virgin
I’m a whore
Giving nothing
The taker
The maker of war
I’ll smash your face in
But with a smile
All together
You’ll never
Be stronger than me

I - I - I
Right here on my own
But I still rock you
I - I - I
Don’t follow behind
Just leave me on the outside

I - I - I
I am standing alone
But I can shock you
I - I - I
On the edge of the blade
But no one makes the hero bleed
( No, no , no )

I am hunger
Feed my head
All together
You’ll never
Never make the hero bleed
( No, no, no )

Revolution Calling-Queensryche

For a price I’d do about anything except pull the trigger

For that I’d need a pretty good cause

Then I heard of Dr. X, the man with the cure

Just watch the television

Yeah, you’ll see there’s something going on

Got no love for politicians or that crazy scene in D.C.

It’s just a power mad town

But the time is ripe for changes

There’s a growing feeling

That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due

I used to trust the media to tell me the truth, tell us the truth

But now I’ve seen the payoffs everywhere I look

Who do you trust when everyone’s a crook?

Revolution calling!

Revolution calling!

Revolution calling you!

There’s a revolution calling!

Revolution calling!

Gotta make a change!

Gotta push, gotta push it on through!

I’m tired of all this bullshit they keep selling me on T.V.

About the communist plan

And all the shady preachers begging for my cash

Swiss bank accounts while giving their secretaries the slam

They’re all in Penthouse now

Or Playboy magazine, million dollar stories to tell

I guess Warhol wasn’t wrong

Fame fifteen minutes long

Everyone’s using everybody, making the sale

I used to think that only America’s way, way was right

But now the holy dollar rules everybody’s lives

Gotta make a million– doesn’t matter who dies!

Revolution calling!

Revolution calling!

Revolution calling you!

There’s a revolution calling!

Revolution calling!

Gotta make a change!

Gotta push, gotta push it on through!

I used to trust the media to tell me the truth, tell us the truth

But now I’ve seen the payoffs everywhere I look

Who do you trust when everyone’s a crook?

Revolution calling!

Revolution calling!

Revolution calling you!

There’s a revolution calling!

Alright
Dark touches, send rushes through the brain
Black’s whiter, burns brighter than the flame
No shadows, just whispers in the wind
No faces, just places to begin

I just come seeking pleasure
I hate the light
I speed at night
At night
Alright!

My demons, they seem to disappear
No vision, I only see to hear
Protection, I never needed none
Direction, just nowhere near the sun

You’ve got some stairs to heaven
You may be right
I only know in my world
I hate the light
I speed at night

Oh yeah
Mhh, something burning

You know the world’s on fire
And I can’t get my ass out of bed
The world is on fire
There’s smoke all around my head

What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…

The oceans are rising
And I can’t do a thing about that
So it’s hardly surprising
I built an ark for me
and my sleek black cat, man

What was I thinking about when
I crashed last night…
Oh yes, turn off the gas and
don’t forget to switch off the light

But that’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod
and I’m hot, oh yeah
Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod
You can like it or not
I’m guessing not, oh

What was I thinking about
when I crashed last night…
Oh yes, turn off the gas and
don’t forget to switch off the light

That’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod

I was standing at the edge
Looking down at myself as a child
And he looked back at me
Crying tears of defeat
From his eyes
He said I know all the lies
That you hide behind every fake smile
Am I gonna be lonely like you

For all my life
I’ve been living in yesterday
All my life
A dollar short and a day too late

I was standing at the edge
Looking down at the drink in my hand
And it looked back at me
Saying, “How—in the hell—
Have you been?”
I’ve been drier than dirt
Dragging all of my thoughts
through the quicksand
Now I’m quenching my thirst
and I’m running like

All my life
I’ve been living in yesterday
All my life
A dollar short and a day too late
All my life

Heaven can take me
But no one can save me from hell again
You’ll never erase me
I’m back on the road again

All my life
I’ve been living in yesterday
All my life
A dollar short and a day too late
All my life

Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart - Chris Cornell

Every time I stare into the sun
Trying to find a reason to go on
All I ever get is burned and blind
Until the sky bleeds the pouring rain

When you came along the time was right
Pulled me like an apple red and ripe
Wasn’t very long you took a bite
And did me wrong, and it serves me right

And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It’s taking me miles away
From the memory of how it broke apart
Here we go round again, again

Every little key unlocks the door
Every little secret has a lie
Try to take a picture of the sun
It won’t help you to see the light
Every little word upon your lips
Makes a little cut where blood pours out
Every little drop of blood a kiss that I won’t miss
Not for anything

And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It’s taking me miles away
From the memory of how it broke apart
Here we go round again

Every single feeling tells me this is leading to a heart
In broken little pieces and you know I need this
Like a hole in the head

Every single feeling tells me this is leading to a heart
In broken little pieces and you know I need this
Like a hole in the head

And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It’s taking me miles away,
From the memory of how it broke apart
Here we go round again

And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It’s taking me miles away,
From the memory of how it broke apart
Here we go round again…
