Garbage & Screaming Females - Because The Night (Patti Smith Group cover - Up!)

 
Take me now baby here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand
Desire is a hunger it's the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed

Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take my hand come undercover
They can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

Have I doubt when I'm alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed until the morning comes

Come on now try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can't touch you now
Can't touch you now, can't hurt you now

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

With love we sleep
With doubt this vicious circle turns and burns
Without you I cannot live
Forgive the yearning burning
I believe it's time
Too real to feel
So touch me now
Touch me now
Touch me now

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us 


Iron Maiden - 2 Minutes To Midnight

 
Kill for gain or shoot to maim
But we don't need a reason
The Golden Goose is on the loose
And never out of season
Blackened pride still burns inside
This shell of bloody treason
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
For the love of living death

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed
The glamour, the fortune, the pain
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore?

2 minutes to midnight
The hands that threaten doom
2 minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb

The blind men shout "Let the creatures out
We'll show the unbelievers."
The napalm screams of human flames
Of a prime time Belsen feast ... yeah!
As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy
We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed
The glamour, the fortune, the pain
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore

2 minutes to midnight
The hands that threaten doom
2 minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb

The body bags and little rags of children torn in two
And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you
As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song
To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed
The glamour, the fortune, the pain
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore

2 minutes to midnight
The hands that threaten doom
2 minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb

Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
It's all night

Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
It's all night 

 

Ronnie James Dio - The Last In Line

 
We're the ship without a storm
The cold without the warm
Light inside the darkness
That it needs, yeah

We're a laugh without tear
The hope without the fear
We are coming, home

We're off to the witch
We may never, never, never, come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth the lifetime

We're all born upon the cross
We're the throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way is down

We don't come alone
We are fire, we are stone
We're the hand that writes
Then quickly moves away

We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line, yeah
We're the last in line

Two eyes from the east
It's the angel or the beast
And the answer lies
Between the good and bad

We search for the truth
We could die upon the tooth
But the thrill of just the chase
Is worth the pain

We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line, yeah
We're the last in line, oh

Yeah, we're off to the witch
We may never, never, never come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth a lifetime

We're all born upon the cross
You know we're the throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way to go is down

We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line, oh
We're the last in line
See how we shine

We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the first in line, oh

We're a ship without a storm
We're the cold inside the warm
We're the laugh without tear
We're the smile without the mirror

We're the last in line
We're the last in line
We're the last in line
See how we shine
We're the last in line 

 

Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son

 
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Ah

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man
Well, it surely means that I don't know

On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more no!

Carry on
You will always remember
Carry on
Nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry
Don't you cry no more

No more!

SOiL - Unreal

 
Sit back, bare your cross to me, oh, won't I listen?
Goddamn, have I burned my hands on what's been missin'?
I feel unreal every time I try and start to feel
Pick me up, my friend, let me start again

You fucked me
Behind this garden
Don't fuck with me

Long before I could even see you're what was missin'
Twistin' deep inside of me, forever missin' the glistenin'
I feel unreal every time I try and start to feel
Pick me up, my friend, hold closed your hand

You fucked me
Behind this garden
Don't fuck with me

Can you see all the clear skin in front of me?
Can you see, can you see what you wanna see?
Can you see there's a little spot of light in me?
Can you see, can you tell I'm fucked?
Bleed emotions
Bleed emotions

You sat back, gave your soul to me, but did I listen?
Goddamn, did I burn my hands on what was missin', the glistenin'?
I feel unreal every time I try and start to feel
Pick me up, my friend, hold closed my hand

You fucked with me, behind this garden
You fucked with me, behind this garden
Don't you fuck with me 

 

Like A Storm - Until The Day I Die

 
The waters rise, the light declines
But I'm not turning back from here
Voices are crying, corpses remind
The most don't make it to the end

Look to the sky
Take back what's mine

This life can be a cemetery
This life can be a shallow grave
I'll never be a casualty
I'll never bow before I break
I'll stand and fight it
Until the day I die

I left the known, to walk alone
'Cause to remain was suicide
The could've been, stood up again
'Cause not to try was just to die

Maybe I'm wrong
But it's my right

This life can be a cemetery
This life can be a shallow grave
I'll never be a casualty
I'll never bow before I break
I'll stand and fight
Until the day I die

I'll stand and fight
I'll stand and fight
I'll stand and fight

Stars keep falling
Darkness calling
Feed the fire I need to light my way

This life can be a cemetery
This life can be a shallow grave
I'll never be a casualty
I'll never bow before I break
I'll face the night
I'll find the light
Look to the sky
Take back what's mine
I'll stand and fight it
Until the day I die 

 

The Killers - Shot At The Night

 
(Uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh)

Once in a lifetime, the suffering of fools
To find our way home, to break in these bones
Once in a lifetime (Once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime

Oh, give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious

(Uh-uh, uh-uh)
Once in a lifetime, we're breaking all the rules
To find that our home, has long been out grown
Throw me a life line, cause honey I've got nothing to lose
Once in a lifetime (Once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime

Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
(Ohohohohoh)

(Uh-uh, uh-uh)
Look at my reflection in the mirror
Underneath the power of the light
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a shot at the night
I feel like I'm losing the fight

Give me a shot at the night, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
(Ohohohohoh)

Oh-oh-oh
Give me a shot at the night (Ohohoh)
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night (Ohohoh)
Give me a moment (Give me one shot)
Some kinda mysterious (Give one shot at the night)
Give me a shot at the night (Ohohoh)
Give me a moment (Just give me at the moment)
Some kinda mysterious (Give one shot at the night)
Give me a shot at the night (Ohohoh) 

 

Smash Into Pieces - Afterglow

 
We all fall apart
Buried deep behind the smile
We all have scars
There is truth in our lies
'Cause the shadow's never
Hiding who we are

We're stuck in a game
Of playing pretend
We're left in the ashes
Again and again

After all the smoke and mirrors
We are only saint and sinners
Waiting for Afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven
Turn it into Armageddon
Waiting for Afterglow

Wide awake
But caught in the blind
It's like we don't see what's right in front of our eyes

We're stuck in a game
Of playing pretend
We're left in the ashes
Again and again

After all the smoke and mirrors
We are only saint and sinners
Waiting for Afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven
Turn it into Armageddon
Waiting for Afterglow

In the Afterglow
In the Afterglow

Are we hoping for a miracle
Starting fires 'til we're burning out
Are we headed for the free fall

Are we hoping for a miracle
Starting fires 'til we're burning out
Are we headed for the free fall

After all the smoke and mirrors
We are only saint and sinners
Waiting for Afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven
Turn it into Armageddon
Waiting for Afterglow

In the Afterglow
In the Afterglow
In the Afterglow
Waiting for Afterglow  

 

Within Temptation - Ritual

 
I'll make you line up, 'cause I'm imperial
Shapeshifting into what I want, and now I own you all

But I already know
I can't let you go
Like my ritual
My ritual
'Cause I already know
I can't let you go
You're my ritual
My ritual playground

Ooh, I got the spark to light your fire
You're going down for milk and honey
With every touch I embody your desire
You're going, you're going down with my ritual
You're going down with my ritual

I'll make you rise up into my midnight oil
Drink, drink
Wet martini from my paper cup
Going down the rabbit hole

But I already know
I can't let you go
Like my ritual
My ritual
'Cause I already know
I can't let you go
You're my ritual
My ritual playground

Ooh, I got the spark to light your fire
You're going down for milk and honey
With every touch I embody your desire
You're going, you're going down with my ritual
You're going down with my ritual

Your equality, your vanity, your relevancy
Sexuality and venomous perversity
Venomous perversity
Venomous perversity

Ooh, I got the spark to light your fire
You're going down for milk and honey
With every touch I embody your desire
You're going, you're going down with my ritual

You're going down with my ritual
You're going down with my ritual

Asia - Don't Cry

 
Hard times you had before you
I knew when I first saw you
You girl you've always been mistreated, cheated

So leave it all behind you
It took so long to find you
I know that we can last forever, ever and more, more, oh

Don't Cry now that I've found you
Don't Cry take a look around you
Don't Cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want, but little darling please Don't Cry

I knew I'd never doubt it
I was so sure about it
Don't think of all that's been before

I'll hear you when you're calling
I'll catch you when you're falling
Don't worry I will always be there, like never before, or, oh 

 

Electric Light Orchestra - Prologue/Twilight

 
The visions dancing in my mind
The early dawn, the shades of time
Twilight crawling through my windowpane
Am I awake or do I dream
The strangest pictures I have seen?
Night is day, and twilight's gone away

With your head held high
And your scarlet lies
You came down to me
From the open skies
(It's either real or it's a dream)
(There's nothing that is in between)

Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I gave you time
To steal my mind
Away from me

Across the night, I saw your face
You disappeared without a trace
You brought me here
But can you take me back?
In sight, the image of your light
That now is day and once was night
You lead me here, and then you go away

(It's either real or it's a dream)
(There's nothing that is in between)

(Twilight, twilight)
(Twilight) I gave you time
To steal my mind
Away from me

You brought me here
But can you take me back again?

With your head held high
And your scarlet lies
You came down to me
From the open skies
(It's either real or it's a dream)
(There's nothing that is in between)

Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I gave you time
To steal my mind

(Twilight) I only meant to stay awhile
(Twilight) I only meant to stay awhile

Twilight (Twilight)
Twilight (Twilight) 

 

Parabelle - (I Was Told) To Never let You Go

 
The sands of time have run their course
She dodged them once so she could find her comfort
From all the things she does to hurt her
And when she goes to close her eyes to sleep for the night
She hears opinions, they're not yours or mine
I say just throw this down and break this
Crushing hold they have on your soul

I was told to never let you go
I promise you've the prettiest of eyes
It hurt so bad but you wont let it show
I'll never let you know
It feels like the past and now inside
Common sense will never let you go

She stands out in crowd
She thinks out loud to save her breath
With a portrait of her parents death
And I can show you stars
If this is who you are
You're far more priceless than the price that's spent
A choice like this gets harder just to fight through
So let this go
And we'll break this crushing hold
They have on your soul

My advice is to take all they steal right back
Whether we hate or unite
Make the ones who are hurting feel right

I was told to never let you go
I promise you've the prettiest of eyes
It hurts so bad but you won't let it show
I'll never let you know
It feels like the past and now inside
Common sense will never let you go

I was told to never let you go
To never let you go! 
 

Five Finger Death Punch - Brighter Side Of Grey (Up!)

 
I'm writing this in case I'm gone tomorrow
I'm writing this in case I've moved along
There's something that I hope you'll remember
That life is not a game, it's a song

So take the best parts of me
Locked away without the keys
And know that I'm forever by your side

When the lights go down
Know that I am never far away
When the sun burns out
I'll be waiting on the brighter side of grey

If you're reading this, I know you're feeling sorrow
If you're hearing this, I know you're probably scared
Just know that all the things you own are borrowed
And all you get to keep is all you've shared

So wipe away the tears for me
Know that we've made history
Remember no one ever really dies

When the lights go down
Know that I am never far away
When the sun burns out
I'll be waiting on the brighter side of grey

When the lights go down
Know that I am never far away
When the sun burns out
I'll be waiting on the brighter side of grey 


All That Remains - The Thunder Rolls (Garth Brooks cover)

 
Three thirty in the morning
Not a soul in sight
The city's looking like a ghost town
On a moonless summer night
Raindrops on the windshield
There's a storm moving in
He's heading back from somewhere
That he never should have been

And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

Every light is burning
In a house across town
She's pacing by the telephone
In her faded flannel gown
Asking for miracle
Hoping she's not right
Praying it's the weather
That's kept him out all night

And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls
And the lightning strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls

She's waiting by the window
When he pulls into the drive
She rushes out to hold him
Thankful he's alive
But on the wind and rain
A strange new perfume blows
And the lightning flashes in her eyes
And he knows that she knows

And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls
And the lightning strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls

She runs back down the hallway
To the bedroom door
She reaches for the pistol
Kept in the dresser drawer
Tells the lady in the mirror
He won't do this again
Because tonight will be the last time
She'll wonder where he's been

Love - Andmoreagain

 
And if you'll see Andmoreagain
Then you will know Andmoreagain
For you can see you in her eyes
Then you feel your heart beating
Thrum-pum-pum-pum

And when you've given all you had
And everything still turns out
Bad, and all your secrets are your own
Then you feel your heart beating
Thrum-pum-pum-pum

And I'm wrapped in my armor
But my things are material
And I'm lost in confusions
Cause my things are material
And you don't know how much I love you
Oh, oh, oh...

And if you'll see Andmoreagain
Then you might be Andmoreagain
For you just wish and you are here
Then you feel your heart beating
Thrum-pum-pum-pum

And I'm wrapped in my armor
But my things are material
And I'm lost in confusions
Cause my things are material
And you don't know how much I love you
Oh, oh, oh...

Midnight Oil - Jimmy Sharmans Boxers

 
From the red dust north of Dalmore Downs
Sharman's tents roll into town
Twelve will face the auctioneer
Sharman's Boxers stand their ground
Their days are darker than your nights
But they won't be the first to fall
Children broken from their dreams
But they won't be the first to fall

Fighting in the spotlight
Eye's turn blacker than their skin
For Jimmy Sharman's boxers
It's no better if you win
Standing in the darkness
Lined up waiting for the bell
The days are wasted drinking
At the first and last hotel

Why are we fighting for this?
Why are you paying for this?
You pay to see me fall like shrapnel
To the floor
What is the reason for this?
There is a reason for this?
What is the reason they keep coming back for more?

The blows now bring him to his knees
But still the crowd calls out for more
The drums are burning in his ears
The man keeps counting out the score 


 

Scorpions - Always Somewhere

 
Arrive at seven the place feels good
No time to call you today
Encores till eleven then Chinese food
Back to the hotel again

I call your number the line ain't free
I like to tell you come to me
A night without you seems like a lost dream
Love I can't tell you how I feel

Always somewhere
Miss you where I've been
I'll be back to love you again

Always somewhere
Miss you where I've been
I'll be back to love you again

Another morning another place
The only day off is far away
But every city has seen me in the end
And brings me to you again

Always somewhere
Miss you where I've been
I'll be back to love you again

Always somewhere
Miss you where I've been
I'll be back to love you again

Oh 
I'll be back!
 

Helloween - I Want Out

 
From our lives' beginning on
We are pushed in little forms
No-one asks us how we'd like to be
In school they teach us what to think
But everyone says different things
But they're all convinced that
They're the ones to see

So they keep talking and they never stop
At a certain point you give it up
So the only thing that's left to think is this

I want out
To live my life alone
I want out
Leave me be
I want out
To do things on my own
I want out
To live my life and to be free

People tell me A and B
They tell me how I have to see
Things that I have seen already clear
So they push me then from side to side
They're pushing me from black to white
They're pushing till there's nothing more to hear

But don't push me to the maximum
Shut your mouth and take it home
Cause I decide the way things gonna be

I want out
To live my life alone
I want out
Leave me be
I want out
To do things on my own
I want out
To live my life and to be free

There's a million ways (million ways) to see the things in life
A million ways to be the fool (million ways)
In the end of it, (in the end) none of us is right
Sometimes, we need to be alone (alone, alone, alone)

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Leave me alone

To live my life alone
I want out
Leave me be
I want out
To do things on my own
I want out
To live my life and to be free

I want out 

 

Roachford - Higher

 
 Oh, won't you listen to the sound

Well, ever since, way back when I was a kid
You know I was always chasing you out
Oh, don't you know you were a baiter
My one and only who can make me scream and shout

You were bad, you were mean, fast like a sex machine
And I'm sad for the people who've never sinned
When we were down down in depression
Your music was a pick-me-up, an inspiration

So just can get take this higher
Keep on taking this higher 
Than we've never ever been before
Keep on taking this higher (higher)
Come on take this higher 
Than we've never ever been before 

You set this place on fire
And it's like a supernatural - ain't no lie
My body's shaking like a wire
And I hope that feeling never dies

Keep on taking this higher
Keep on taking this higher 
Than we've never ever been before
We need to go higher (higher)
Come one, take us higher
Than we've never ever been before


 

Iron Maiden - Wasted Years

 
From the coast of gold across the seven seas
I'm travellin' on far and wide
But now it seems
I'm just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do
It isn't me but someone else

I close my eyes, and think of home
Another city goes by in the night
Ain't it funny how it is
You never miss it 'til it's gone away
And my heart is lying there
And will be 'til my dying day

So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years

Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind
Can't ease this pain so easily
When you can't find the words to say
It's hard to make it through another day
And it makes me wanna cry
And throw my hands up to the sky

So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years

So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years

So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years
