[Verse 1]
Suddenly, all your history's ablaze
Try to breathe, as the world disintegrates
Just like autumn leaves, we're in for change
Holding tenderly to what remains
And all your memories are as precious as gold
And all the honey and the fire which you've stole
Have you running through all your red-cheeked days
Shaking loose these souls from their sacred hiding space

[Chorus]
Hold your heart courageously
As we walk into this dark place
Stand steadfast, erect and see
That love is the province of the brave

[Verse 2]
Pushed under this expanse of bursting stars
Let this burning brightly illuminate the where we are
In this hollow that lovers voices occupy
Let it follow that we let it free, let it fly
Breaking open the walls of this cage
Intoxicated, oh so amazed
Much like falcons tumbling from the heights at play
Conjoined, talons engaged

[Chorus]
Hold these hearts courageously
As we walk into this dark place
Stand steadfast beside me and see
That love is the province of the brave

This Is The Day
The The
1983

Well you didn't wake up this morning 'cause you didn't go to bed
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red
The calendar on your wall was ticking the days off
You've been reading some old letters
You smile and think how much you've changed
All the money in the world couldn't buy back those days
You pull back the curtains
And the sun burns into your eyes
You watch a plane flying
Across a clear blue sky
This is the day, your life will surely change
This is the day, when things fall into place
You could have done anything, if you wanted
And all your friends and family think that you're lucky
But the side of you they'll never see
Is when you're left alone with your memories
That hold your life together, like glue
You pull back the curtains
And the sun burns into your eyes
You watch a plane flying
Across a clear blue sky
This is the day, your life will surely change
This is the day, when things fall into place
This is the day (This is the day)
Your life will surely change
This is the day (This is the day)
Your life will surely change
This is the day (This is the day)
Your life will surely change
This is the day (This is the day)
Your life will surely change
This is the day (This is the day)
Your life will surely change
This is the day (This is the day)
Your life will surely change
This is the day (This is the day)
Your life will surely change
This is the day (This is the day)
Your life will surely change

Charlie's Inferno is a great one for me. So much being said in this one about the folly of chasing "the good life" for nothing more than the promise of divine reward.

But choice lines like:

Attention whores in padded bras hanging from extension cords / tortured with the products from their favorite catalogues

Just really strike my fancy. What an amazing rhythm and mental image.

"That the road that leads to nowhere is long
And that those who seek to go there are lost
The guiding lights, they lead you on
And the road that leads to nowhere is long"
from "Guiding Lights" by Ghost

"One day you will be the one to reach the sky
Ride on wings of dreams and fly away
Dreams come true, your fate will come to life (dragonborn)
Use the magic in your heart, dragonborn"
- Dragonborn by Twilight Force

"The power before me
Ascend to the edge of glory
Tonight shooting far across the sky"
Highway to Oblivion by Dragonforce

"I'm riding a pony
Into the sunset
Everything's green and gold
So I'm not in hell yet"
-"Mt St.Helens is about to Blow Up" by Bill Wurtz

>>1201925
Lotta Forces in here

>>1201926
Let the Force be with You

>>1201927
Forces of Evil, perhaps

>>1201928
did you say "Forces of Evil?"

>>1201929
That depends, how much ass are you going to kick if I did?

I know no one cares for my translations of my country's stuff, but whatever. I like doing it and this is a lyrics thread.

Have a real goddamn dark song about Child Soldiers, cause why not. This one always fucks me up.

[b]The World's Littlest Company[/i]

There's Juan, who is six years old
Eduardo, who is nine
And Theresa, who neither of them know that well
They are all that remains of their army's littlest company
There used to be ten of them

They sneak along between the bullet-ridden houses
'Cause Antonio is hiding - where could he be?
He was here just a second ago
He's as quick as a mouse

They were together this morning when the soldiers left
Riding away in their cars that none of them heard
It wasn't until the rain started
And they saw a chopper flying far too low to the ground
That they quickly snuck away and hid
But Antonio stayed behind
And let loose his anger
Against the planes who dropped heavy metals
He managed to fire his machinegun once before everything went dark

Antonio is the seventh
Of a little company of ten
Now there's only three left
Carrying Antoni's body
They're Juan, who is six years old
Eduardo, who is nine
And Theresa, who neither of them know that well
They're all that remains of their army's littlest company

They watched as their parents were shot
Not like in the movies - the bullets were real
They don't go to school, 'cause there's a crater where it used to be
And they don't wash themselves, 'cause the water's colored red with blood

They are wearing black armbands
Watch as they march along
Towards another day and another battle
In this war against the grown-up soldiers

But outside the cityi limits, atop a hill
They hear someone singing
It's a song that they know well
It's the Black Armbands' fight song

And so the night comes to New Paraguay
When daytime comes, they'll be ten once more
There'll be Juan, who is six years old
Eduardo, who is nine
Theresa, who neither of them know that well
And all the rest of them - The World's Littlest Company[/i]

>>1201930
all of it!

>>1201933
That is more ass than you can handle!

>>1201934
you underestimate the amount of ass i can handle!

>>1201936
Sounds like empty, ass-inine bragging to me

>>1201937
nah, i'm dead ass serious about this!

Ik heb niet langer hinder
van jaloers zijn op een vlinder
als ook vlinders moeten sterven
laat ik niet mijn vreugd bederven


Ik kan zonder vliegen leven
wat zou ik nog langer geven
om een vlinder die verdronken is in mei?
Om te leven hoef ik echt geen vlinder meer te zijn

>>1201938
>>1201938
Well let me know if you need ass-istance.

>>1201918
