Psalm 28 - KJV and Scottish Metrical Psalter

1    UNTO thee will I cry, O LORD my rock;  be not silent to me:  lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that
    go down into the pit.

2    Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

3    Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but 
    mischief is in their hearts.

4    Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours:  give them after the work
    of their hands;  render to them their desert.

5    Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not
    build them up.

6    Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

7    The LORD is my strength and my shield, my heart trusted in him, and I am helped:  therefore my heart greatly
    rejoiceth;  and with my song will I praise him.

8    The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.  

9    Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance:  feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

    Psalm 28 - KJV


Psalm 28
A Psalm of David.
1 To thee I'll cry, O Lord, my rock;
hold not thy peace to me;
Lest like those that to pit descend
I by thy silence be.
2 The voice hear of my humble pray'rs,
when unto thee I cry;
When to thine holy oracle
I lift mine hands on high.
3 With ill men draw me not away
that work iniquity;
That speak peace to their friends, while in
their hearts doth mischief lie.
4 Give them according to their deeds
and ills endeavoured:
And as their handy-works deserve,
to them be rendered.
5 God shall not build, but them destroy,
who would not understand
The Lord's own works, nor did regard
the doing of his hand.
6 For ever blessed be the Lord,
for graciously he heard
The voice of my petitions,
and prayers did regard.
7 The Lord's my strength and shield; my
heart
upon him did rely;
And I am helped: hence my heart
doth joy exceedingly,
And with my song I will him praise.
8 Their strength is God alone:
He also is the saving strength
of his anointed one.
9 O thine own people do thou save,
bless thine inheritance;
Them also do thou feed, and them
for evermore advance.

The Strokes - Heart in a Cage

 The Strokes - Heart in a Cage

Well, I don't feel better when I'm f---ing around
And I don't write better when I'm stuck in the ground
So don't teach me a lesson 'cause I've already learned
Yeah, the sun will be shining and my children will burn
Oh, the heart beats in its cage
I don't want what you want, I don't feel what you feel
See, I'm stuck in a city but I belong in a field
Yeah, we got left, left, left, left, left, left, left
Now it's three in the morning and you're eating alone
Oh, the heart beats in its cage
All our friends, they're laughing at us
All of those you loved, you mistrust
Help me, I'm just not quite myself
Look around, there's no one else left
I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd
Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around
Oh, he gets left, left, left, left, left, left, left
And I'm sorry you were thinking I would steal your fire
Oh, the heart beats in its cage
Yes, the heart beats in its cage
And the heart beats in its cage

The Wallflowers - The Difference

 The Wallflowers - The Difference

 [Verse 1]
One, two boys by the river
Down by the water, tellin' riddles in the dark
With fireflies under the moonlight
Carvin' the insides of a tree with a knife
Did you ever hear the one about the boy's big sister?
His best friend come along, and he tried to kiss her

[Chorus]
The only difference that I see
Is you are exactly the same as you used to be

[Verse 2]
One boy lives in a tower
With bow and arrow and the artificial heart
With his girl, maid of dishonor
He loaded the cannon with a jealous appetite
They say that children now, they come in all ages
And maybe sometimes old men die with little boy faces

[Chorus]
The only difference that I see
Is you are exactly the same as you used to be
The only difference that I see
Is you are exactly the same as you used to be

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
You always said that you needed some
But you always had more
More than anyone

[Chorus]
The only difference that I see
Is you are exactly the same as you used to be
The only difference that I see
Is you are exactly the same as you used to be

[Instrumental Outro]

The rug beneath my feet
was pulled from under me
and I’m pacing 
down an endless corridor

I’ve memorized these walls
the papers peeling off
and I’m anxious 
to escape this metaphor

PRE-CHORUS
I don’t do patience well
but if waiting’s what You’re asking
teach me how to dwell right here

CHORUS
slow down my restless
till it’s You that I find
bring peace to the present
and calm my wandering mind
I don’t know what’s coming 
around the next bend
will You open up the door ever again?
if I have to wait, I’ll be okay
cause You’re still God in the hallway

VERSE
if I could skip ahead
fast forward to the end
then I might miss 
what you have right here and now

so keep sustaining me
be everything I need
and remind me You’re enough 
and show me how to

CHORUS
slow down my restless
till it’s You that I find
bring peace to the present
and calm my wandering mind
I don’t know what’s coming 
around the next bend
will You open up the door ever again?
if I have to wait, I’ll be okay
cause You’re still God in the hallway

BRIDGE
in the waiting rooms
at the traffic lights
in all the places that I feel confined

CHORUS
slow down my restless
till it’s You that I find
bring peace to the present
and calm my wandering mind
I don’t know what’s coming 
around the next bend
will You open up the door ever again?
if I have to wait, I’ll be okay
cause You’re still God in the hallway

Psalm 27 - KJV and Scottish Metrical Psalter

1    THE LORD is my light and my salvation:  whom shall I fear?  the LORD is the strength of my life;  of whom shall I be afraid?

2    When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

3    Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:  though war should rise against me, in this will I 
    be confident.

4    One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after;  that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, 
    to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.

5    For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavillion:  in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me;  he shall set
    me up upon a rock.

6    And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me:  therefore will I offer in his tabernacle 
    sacrifices of joy;  I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

7    Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice:  have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

8    When thou saidst, Seek ye my face;  my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

9    Hide not thy face far from me;  put not thy servant away in anger:  thou hast been my help;  leave me not, neither
    forsake me, O God of my salvation.  

10    When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

11    Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

12    Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies:  for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe
    out cruelty.

13    I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

14    Wait on the LORD:  be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart;  wait, I say, on the LORD.


    Psalm 27 - KJV

Psalm 27
A Psalm of David.
1 The Lord's my light and saving health,
who shall make me dismay'd?
My life's strength is the Lord, of whom
then shall I be afraid?
2 When as mine enemies and foes,
most wicked persons all,
To eat my flesh against me rose,
they stumbled and did fall.
3 Against me though an host encamp,
my heart yet fearless is:
Though war against me rise, I will
be confident in this.
4 One thing I of the Lord desir'd,
and will seek to obtain,
That all days of my life I may
within God's house remain;
That I the beauty of the Lord
behold may and admire,
And that I in his holy place
may rev'rently enquire.
5 For he in his pavilion shall
me hide in evil days;
In secret of his tent me hide,
and on a rock me raise.
6 And now, ev'n at this present time,
mine head shall lifted be
Above all those that are my foes,
and round encompass me:
Therefore unto his tabernacle
I'll sacrifices bring
Of joyfulness; I'll sing, yea, I
to God will praises sing.
7 O Lord, give ear unto my voice,
when I do cry to thee;
Upon me also mercy have,
and do thou answer me.
8 When thou didst say, Seek ye my face,
then unto thee reply
Thus did my heart, Above all things
thy face, Lord, seek will I.
9 Far from me hide not thou thy face;
put not away from thee
Thy servant in thy wrath: thou hast
an helper been to me.
O God of my salvation,
leave me not, nor forsake:
10 Though me my parents both should leave,
the Lord will me up take.
11 O Lord, instruct me in thy way,
to me a leader be
In a plain path, because of those
that hatred bear to me.
12 Give me not to mine en'mies' will;
for witnesses that lie
Against me risen are, and such
as breathe out cruelty.
13 I fainted had, unless that I
believed had to see
The Lord's own goodness in the land
of them that living be.
14 Wait on the Lord, and be thou strong,
and he shall strength afford
Unto thine heart; yea, do thou wait,
I say, upon the Lord

Hope as a Weapon - Even in Arcadia - live acoustic cover (Sleep Token)

 Hope as a Weapon - Even in Arcadia

Come now, swing wide those gates
'Cause I have paid my penance kindly well in time for judgement day
Somehow I knew my fate
Turns out the gods we thought were dying were just sharpening their blades

Have you been waiting long for me?

I am the final dawn, I am the flood
And what was missing from those scriptures will be written in my blood
Dig down into the mud
What good is all this talk of wings when there is nothing left above?

Have you been waiting long for me?
Have you been waiting long?

No matter how we feel
We've got a taste for one another and a few good years to kill
No matter what is real
It seems that even in Arcadia you walk beside me still

Have you been waiting long for me?
Have you been waiting long for me?

 AFI - Holy Visions

[Verse 1]
When the pen hides from my hand
It leaves me free to keep digging
Underground there is a man
Ever glowing, calling me home

[Chorus]
Holy visions understand
Holy visions while in my left hand
Holding cheap beads, I'm going up and down the rosary
Holy visions

[Verse 2]
When the sun drops out of sight, It leaves me free
To flutter reckless
Underground there is a girl, a glowing girl
Burning brightly, calling me home

[Chorus]
Holy visions understand
Holy visions while in my left hand
Holding cheap beads, I’m going up and down the rosary

[Bridge]
Bright lights, and nothing less
Catching my eye, hung around your neck
Cheap beads, a soft scarlet
Catching your eyes, draped around my neck


[Chorus]
Holy visions
Holy visions understand
Holy visions while in my left hand
Holding cheap beads, I'm going up and down the rosary
Going up and down the rosary
Holding cheap beads, I'm going up and down the rosary
Holy visions

Rise Against - Give It All

Rise Against - Give It All 

Break through the undertow, your hands I can't seem to find
Pollution burns my tongue, cough words I can't speak
So I stop my struggling, then I float to the surface
Fill my lungs with air
Then let it out!

I give it all!
Now there's a reason why I sing
So give it all!
And it's these reasons that belong to me

Rock bottom's where we live, and still we dig these trenches
To bury ourselves in them, backs breaking under tension
For far too long these voices muffled by distances
It's time to come to our senses
Up from the dirt!

We give it all!
Now there's a reason why I sing
So give it all!
And it's these reasons that belong to me

Breathe
The air we give, the life we live
Our pulses racing distances
So wet my tongue, break into song
Through seas of competition

So please believe your eyes, a sacrifice
Is not what we had in our minds
I'm coming home tonight
Home tonight

We give it all!
Now there's a reason why I sing
So give it all
And it's these reasons that belong to me

Today I offer up my soul to this
I'm living for my dying wish
I give it all! 
Now there's a reason
There's a reason
To give it all

I've seen many people
There are so many people
Some are much younger people
And some are so old
I've seen many places
There are so many places
And where are the people going
Will they choose the road?
I've packed my bags and I've got my freedom

I'll bet on a chance if I've just got one
I'll throw out the plans and live with no burden
I have but a lifetime
Seems so long but it flies by
And in the moments passing
I'll bear no load
I have yet to wander
Many miles far yonder
And with so much left to ponder
I choose the road

Sleeping at Last - Source

 Sleeping at Last - Source

shhhh... 

quiet down- an avalanche is waiting for just one more sound.
life is loud- look at all we’ve gotten away with up ’til now
and i really don’t want to find out where the line is. 

stuck looking over my shoulder,
another domino tipping over-
maybe we should wait for the morning LIGHT

before we let our voices carry,
and ignore how much gets buried,
can we take a step back for a minute,
one foot in the POOL before we dive in?
i’m getting loSt IN metaphor-
can’t see THE forest for the TREES anymore-
everything echoes AND i’m trying to find the source.

what BECOMES of a world unwritten,
when our joy and pain is hidden?
wait, are we asking the same question?
what LEAVES a mark in the dark-

I REALIZE I’m being too careful-
there’s solid ground here in the middle.
and like the tide sways under the thumb of the moon
I FEEL LIKE we play our part too-
i’m getting lost in metaphor again,
let’s turn the volume up before our song ends-
EVERYthing echoes, it’s just a matter of when.

every LIVING THING gets BETTER,
by ricocheting OFF each other.
as our voices change the landscape
may we never forget what’s at stake.
if we lose our way as the day ends, 
WITH SUNLIGHT, we get to start again.
everything echoes, it’s just a matter of when.

(everything echoes)

 Kygo, Max McNown - Take Me Back


[Verse 1: Max McNown]
I get a bit nostalgic every time I hear your name
Pour one or two drinks in me, it always goes the same
I start to reminisce and take a trip down memory lane
'Bout how I had all of your love and flushed it down the drain

[Pre-Chorus: Max McNown]
I know I, I can't unring that bell
That bar in that hotel
That's where I watched you go


[Chorus: Max McNown]
If you could take me back
To the night that you left
Oh, then I'd be running after you
If you could take me back
I'd take back what I said
Honey, I'd be chasing
I'd be begging you to take me back
Back to your heart, won't you take me back
Back to the start, won't you take me back
Back to that night at the bar where it all fell apart
Take me back

[Build: Max McNown]
Ooh
Ooh
Back to that night at the bar where it all fell apart (Ooh)
Take me back 


[Verse 2: Max McNown]
Seems like every time I get a little whiskey in my glass
Can't talk about my future without bringing up my past
How one conversation escalated, out of hand so fast
To storming out, I never should've let you go like that


[Pre-Chorus: Max McNown]
I know I, I can't unring that bell
That bar in that hotel
That's where I watched you go

[Chorus: Max McNown]
If you could take me back
To the night that you left
Oh, then I'd be running after you
If you could take me back
I'd take back what I said
Honey, I'd be chasing
I'd be begging you to take me back
Back to your heart, won't you take me back
Back to the start, won't you take me back
Back to that night at the bar where it all fell apart
Take me back

[Build: Max McNown]
Ooh
Ooh
Back to that night at the bar where it all fell apart (Ooh)
Take me back

[Drop: Max McNown]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
I'd be begging you to take me back
Back to your heart, won't you take me back
Back to the start, won't you take me back
Back to that night at the bar where it all fell apart
Take me back

The Calling - DUST

The Calling - DUST 

It's been quiet in my dreams
Without you around
And when I'm not asleep
You are nowhere to be
Found a way to tell myself that everything's alright
When nothing is, it's hard to live without you in my life

Tell me, can you feel this? Can you believe it?
Tell me, am I coming through?
I know you're somewhere out there
And I am right here trying to reach out to you
Before the world turns to dust
Love will find us

These are the days that never end
Just like the photos on the wall
All of you staring back at me
All of me wishing I could
Call your name inside this place, the echoes fill these rooms
And every door I try is locked, but I'll find the right one soon

Tell me, can you feel this? Can you believe it?
Tell me, am I coming through?
I know you're somewhere out there
And I am right here trying to reach out to you
Before the world turns to dust
Love will find us

There's nothing left to say
See, I gave all of my heart away
Now there's nothing left to say
Nothing left of me

Tell me, can you feel this? Can you believe it?
Tell me, am I coming through?
Let's go
This is love
Oh, yeah

Tell me, can you feel this? Can you believe it?
Tell me, am I coming through?
I know you're somewhere out there
And I am right here trying to reach out to you
Before the world turns to dust
Love will find us

Before the world turns to dust
Love will find us
Before we all turn to dust
Love will find us

"Streams in the Desert" written by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman

 "Streams in the Desert" a book of daily devotionals written by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman originally published in 1925

February 1


"This thing is from me."  (1 Kings 12:24)

"Life's disappointments are veiled love's appointments."  - Rev. C. A. Fox

MY child, I have a message for you today;  let me whisper it in your ear, that it may gild with glory any storm clouds which may 
arise, and smooth the rough places upon which you may have to tread.  It is short, only five words, but let them sink into your
inmost soul;  use them as a pillow upon which to rest your weary head.  This thing is from ME.

Have you ever thought of it, that all that concerns you concerns Me too?  For, "he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of mine
eye" (Zech. 2:8).  You are very precious in My sight.  (Isa. 43:4)  Therefore, it is My special delight to educate you.

I would have you learn when temptations assail you, and the "enemy comes in like a flood."  that this thing is from Me, that
your weakness needs My might, and your safety lies in letting Me fight for you.

Are you in difficult circumstances, surrounded by people who do not understand you, who never consult your taste, who
put you in the background?  This thing is from Me.  I am the God of circumstances.  Thou camest not to the place by
accident, it is the very place God meant for thee.

Have you not asked to be made humble?  See then, I have placed you in the very school where this lesson is taught;
your surroundings and companions are only working out My will.

Are you in money difficulties?  Is it hard to make both ends meet?  This thing is from Me, for I am your purse-bearer
and would have you draw from and depend upon Me.  My supplies are limitless (Phil. 4:19).  I would have you prove
my promises.  Let it not be said of you, "In this thing ye did not believe the Lord your God"  (Deut. 1:32).

Are you passing through a night of sorrow?  This thing is from Me.  I am the Man of Sorrows and acquainted with grief.
I have let earthly comforters fail you, that by turning to Me you may obtain everlasting consolation (2 Thess. 2:16-17).
Have you longed to do some great work for Me and instead have been laid aside on a bed of pain and weakness?  This
thing is from Me.  I could not get your attention in your busy days and I want to teach you some of my deepest lessons.  
"They also serve who only stand and wait."  Some of My  greatest workers are those shut out from active service, that they
may learn to wield the weapon of all-prayer.

This day I place in your hand this pot of holy oil.  Make use of it free, my child.  Let every circumstance that arises, every
word that pains you, every interruption that would make you impatient, every revelation of your weakness be anointed
with it.  This sting will go as you learn to see Me in all things.  --Laura A. Barter Snow.

" 'This is from Me,' the Saviour said,
    As bending low He kissed my brow,
'For One who loves you thus has led.
    Just rest in Me, be patient now,
Your Father knows you have need of this,
    Tho', why perchance you cannot see.--
Grieve not for things you've seemed to miss.
    The thing I send is best for thee.'

"Then, looking through my tears, I plead,
    'Dear Lord, forgive, I did not know,
'Twill not be hard since Thou dost tread,
    Each path before me here below.
And for my good this thing must be,
    His grace sufficient for each test.
So still I'll sing, "Whatever be
    God's way for me is always best." ' "

James Chapter Three

 1    MY brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.

2    For in many things we offend all.  If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also
    to bridle the whole body.

3    Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us;  and we turn about their whole body.

4    Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned
    about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.

5    Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things.  Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

6    And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity:  so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole 
    body, and setteth on fire the course of nature;  and it is set on fire of hell.

7    For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been
    tamed of mankind:

8    But the tongue can no man tame;  it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

9    Therewith bless we God, even the Father;  and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.

10    Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing.  My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

11    Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?

12    Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries?  either a vine, figs?  so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

13    Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you?  let him shew out of a good conversation his works 
    with meekness of wisdom.

14    But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

15    This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

16    For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

17    But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy,
    and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

18    And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

Bring Me The Horizon - Pray for Plagues (2026 Repented)

 Bring Me The Horizon - Pray for Plagues

She starts her new diet of liquor and dick
Just like Hollywood but laced in sick
The sun goes down and so does she
The sun goes down and so does she

Sold out the love that she had with a cut of the throat
Drinks all 'round on her before she strolls to the moat
The sun goes down, and so does she
The sun goes down, and so does she

Count your f---ing blessings
Come on
Count your blessings, cause I'm counting every lie
Count your blessings, cause I'm counting every lie
Counting every lie
Christ, I'm asking you for just one thing
I'm asking you for just one thing

Eradicate this disease

Close your eyes
Pray for plagues
Oh Lord cleanse this Earth and bring upon our doomsday
Close your eyes
Pray for plagues
Cleanse this Earth and bring doomsday

She starts her new diet of liquor and dick
Just like Hollywood but laced in sick
The sun goes down and so does she
The sun goes down and so does she

So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now
Watch the rivers flow with blood
Death will stand where life once stood
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now
Watch the rivers turn to blood
Death will stand where life once stood
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now
Watch these rivers turn to blood
Death will stand where life once stood

Close your eyes
Pray for plagues
Cleanse this Earth
Bring our doomsday

Skillet - Scream

 Skillet - Scream

I wanna scream
I wanna break something beautiful because
I wanna scream

Inside the silence
Behind the screen
The light is dying while your soundbites deafen me
Stuck in confusion
My mind's a maze
Trying to remember who I was before the chains 

Don't wanna talk
My jaw is locked
My throat forgets it
No longer calm
Don't wanna talk about it

I wanna scream
I wanna break something beautiful because
I can't believe that I can be something beautiful I lost
Come pull me out from under
The noise and thunder
What have I become?
I wanna scream
Nobody's listening will I ever be enough?
I wanna scream

I am the broken
Without a face
Just like a puzzle with the pieces out of place
Holding together
Before I break
I'll bite my tongue till there's nothing left to say

Don't wanna talk
My jaw is locked
My throat forgets it
No longer calm
Don't wanna talk about it

I wanna scream
I wanna break something beautiful because
I can't believe that I can be something beautiful I lost
Come pull me out from under
The noise and thunder
What have I become?
I wanna scream
Nobody's listening will I ever be enough
Enough enough

No longer calm, don't want to talk about it
No longer calm, don't want to talk about it
No longer calm, don't want to talk about it
No longer calm, don't want to talk about it
I wanna scream
I wanna scream

I wanna scream
I wanna break something beautiful because
I can't believe that I can be something beautiful I lost
Come pull me out from under
The noise and thunder
What have I become?
I wanna scream
Nobody's listening will I ever be enough?
I wanna scream

Don't wanna talk
My jaw is locked
My throat forgets it
No longer calm, don't want to talk about it
I wanna scream
Nobody's listening will I ever be enough?
I wanna scream

Greta Van Fleet - Trip the Light Fantastic 

  
Enter the flow
Dharma, Divine
Succeeding signs
Carbon dancing through time
Give me the truth, and I will sing on
My universe is so
To ask the questions unknown
Is to respond, woah
Ram, ram, ram, ram, ram, ram
Ram, ram, ram, ram, ram, ram
To comet across the blistering hue
Beyond the spaces of false and true
Away from the world we have riddled with scars
To be wholly free and amongst the stars
You are the land
The sea and the sky, woah
The explanation why
We're tied to all things as one
Rhythm of space
Expansion of soul
A force beyond control
Travelers in time searching for the unknown
Ram, ram, ram, ram, ram, ram
Ram, ram, ram, ram, ram, ram
To comet across the blistering hue
Beyond the spaces of false and true
Away from the world we have riddled with scars
To be wholly free and amongst the stars
Ah sri rama, jayam, ram ram ram ram ram ram
Ah sri rama, jayam, ram ram ram ram ram ram
Ah sri rama, jayam, ram ram ram ram ram ram
To comet across the blistering hue
Beyond the spaces of false and true
Away from the world we have riddled with scars
To be wholly free and amongst the stars

Rise Against - Help Is On The Way

  Rise Against - Help Is On The Way

I have my mother's dreams,
I have my father's eyes,
You can't take that from me,
Just go ahead and try.
The cursed city sleeps,
Watch ions in the sky,
Preparing to unleash,
Let loose a mighty cry.

Can nobody save us?
Will anyone try?
The pyre is burning,
The severance is dying.
And all along they say it.

Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Hold my hand to help see.
Right there in front of me.
Help is on the way.

Five thousand feet below,
As black smoke engulfs the sky,
The ocean floor explodes,
Eleven mothers cry.
My bones all resonate,
A burning lullaby,
You can't take that from me,
Just go ahead and try.

She says that's the shoreline,
With hands in the air,
Her words miss the dark light,
Does anyone care?
And all along they say it.

Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way

(They said, they said)
Hold my hand, to help see.
Right there in front of me.
Help is on the way.

Right here! Right here! [x3]

Choking on the black gold,
Upon which we rely,
We keep actions in the attics,
To see cameras in the sky.

Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)

We were told just to sit tight,
Cause somebody will soon arrive.
Help is on the way.
But it never came!
It never came!

Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Hold my hand, to help see.
Right there in front of me.
Help is on the way.
On the way.

The Struts - Only Just a Call Away (live from the Merci Gallery)

 The Struts - Only Just a Call Away

[Verse 1]
All that you want is a love I can't provide
And no matter what I try, feels like we're falling
Cause I'm leaving home, one more talk and I'll be gone
And I'll be saving all these ashes 'til the morning

[Pre-Chorus]
When the sun comes from the west
That's where you'll find my silhouette
I'll ride a cloud, come back to you without a warning, warning

[Chorus]
Don't speak cause it only makes my heart bleed
No matter what you say, I'll be only just a call away
I need to know that I've got you with me
No matter what they say, I'll be only just a call away

[Verse 2]
Close your eyes in the night and I'll be right in front of you
So sit back, enjoy the view until the morning

[Pre-Chorus]
When the sun comes from the west
That's where you'll find my silhouette
I'll ride a cloud, come back to you without a warning, warning

[Chorus]
Don't speak cause it only makes my heart bleed
No matter what you say, I'll be only just a call away
I need to know that I've got you with me
No matter what they say, I'll be only just a call away

[Bridge]
We'll take it one day at a time
So just sit back until you cry
I've come too far to let you down
Oh, baby, don't you know that?

[Chorus]
Don't speak cause it only makes my heart bleed
No matter what you say, I'll be only just a call away
I need to know that I've got you with me
No matter what they say, I'll be only just a call away

Tonic - If You Could Only See

 Tonic - If You Could Only See  

 If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Well you've got your reasons
And you've got your lies
And you've got your manipulations
They cut me down to size
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Seems the road less traveled
Show's happiness unraveled
And you got to take a little dirt
To keep what you love
That's what you gotta do
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
You're stretching out your arms to something that's just not there.

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart but you won't

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

The All-American Rejects - Sandbox

 The All-American Rejects - Sandbox

See the children play, in camo green
Morning tea, cuppa casualties 
Merrily merrily merrily we all fall down
Smoky skies, under power lines
The come hither look in the bullseyes 
Pig tails, cross hairs 
Don’t be scared it’ll all be over soon
Bang!
And the toy soldiers set sail
Bang!
Even the bully knows war is hell
Where is the beauty in the madness 
The sandbox, is thirsty
Outside the bombs are bursting 
See how they run in the gold hot sun
Billy’s got a sling shot, Jenny’s got a cap gun
And the cannons cry,
Little Billy sucks his thumb
Don’t cry Billy, Jenny’s just having fun!
Bang!
And the toy soldiers set sail
Bang!
Even the bully knows war is hell
Where is the beauty in the madness 
Bang!
And when the battleships capsize 
Look for the whites in their eyes
You crack a smile in the sadness
The sandbox, is thirsty
Outside the bombs are bursting

Ruelle - Game of Survival

 Ruelle - Game of Survival

[Verse 1]
Who's in the shadows?
Who's ready to play?
Are we the hunters?
Or are we the prey?
There's no surrender
And there's no escape
Are we the hunters?
Or are we the prey?

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
This is a wild game of survival
This is a wild game of survival

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
This is a wild game
This is a wild game, game of survival
This is a wild game
This is a wild game, game of survival

[Outro]
This is a wild game of survival
