dragonsprideHonor - VNV Nation
A nation that stands alone
Cold voices, faces pale
Gathered unto their judgement day
Such pride remains unbroken
Such words remain unspoken
Just mothers to stand in vain and cry
Tears and medals in the rain
Shall I recall when justice did prevail?
No reason to be found why reason did fail..
Shall I call on you to guide me well
To see our hopes and dreams fulfilled?
On this day of our ascension
Stand your ground, this is what we are fighting for
For our spirit and laws and ways
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war
For heaven or hell we shall not wait
Shall I think of honour as lies
Or lament its age and slow demise?
Shall I stand as a total stranger
On this day in this stone chamber?
Lost My Way - Finger Eleven
I'm screaming from outside in
Tell me where I've been
There's nowhere to return to out there
I think I've lost my way
But that's just not news today
Because the story's old
The black and white
Have gone to grey...
And you were right
'Cause I finally lost my way
Centuries - Fall Out Boy
Mummified my teenage dreams
No, it's nothing wrong with me
The kids are all wrong
The story's all off
Heavy metal broke my heart
Come on, come on and let me in
The bruises on your thighs like my fingerprints
And this is supposed to match
The darkness that you felt
I never meant for you to fix yourself...
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
And I can't stop 'til the whole world knows my name
'Cause I was only born inside my dreams
Until you die for me
As long as there's a light
My shadow's over you
'Cause I, I am the opposite of amnesia
And you're a cherry blossom
You're about to bloom
You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon...
We've been here forever
And here's the frozen proof
I could scream forever
We are the poisoned youth
Fly On The Wall - Thousand Foot Krutch
If I could just see it all
Just like a fly on the wall
Would I be able to accept what I can't control
And would I share what I saw
Or just sit back and ignore
Like nothing never happened
I haven't seen you before
I'm on the run from a thief
I let into my head
I know I hold the keys, so don't be scared
When I turn and shout:
I don't think I need you anymore
Take your words, and your lies and just beat it
I don't think I need you anymore
Take the hurt and the pain, I don't need it
I wanna live, I wanna be the change
Eye of the Storm - Cruxshadows
I believe in what I fight for
And I have paid for it with pain
I am here because my contributions
May help turn this fate away
And all who stood by and did nothing
Who are they to criticize?
The sacrifices of others
Our blood has bought their lives
This is the moment of truth
At the point of no return
Place faith in your convictions
As the boundaries start to blur
There is no love untouched by hate
No unity without discord
There is no courage without fear
There is no peace without a war
There is no wisdom without regret
No admiration without scorn
There is strife within the tempest
And there is calm in the eye of the storm
The pages of our history
Are written by the hand
With eyes and ears and prejudice
Too far removed to understand
And so the heroes of the ages past
Are stripped of honesty and love
To make them seem less noble
And hide what we can become
If you find the courage within you
To face the path ahead
It matters not the outcome
If what you will gain instead
Is a heart deepened in the knowing
That experience carves the soul
And the very thing that empties you
Shall surely make you whole
Where the silent voices whisper
Find the course that is your own
Becoming the Bull - Atreyu
Grab the bull by the horns the old adage goes
Nobody tells you where to go from here
Seems like fates pulling you
Decisions have to be made
The best path is the hardest earned...
There is so much at stake
I stumble, I lose my place
Pride and arrogance surrounded by sin
Destiny takes it's hold
Fight it or let it go
But I choose how the day will end
Back and forth the struggle consumes us all
Trying to keep a level head
In the most unsettling of times
Today I'll become the bull
Kick In The Teeth - Papa Roach
We live in a cold dark world with venom in it's fangs
You can spit it in my face but I know I'll be OK
It's on the attack, It's a war, It's a game
A ball and chain chew my arm off to get away
Don't fight, or it deny it, invite it cause when it
Feels like a kick in the teeth, I can take it
Throw your stones and you won't see me breaking
Say what you want, take your shots
You're setting me free with one more kick in the teeth...
I gotta say thanks cause you kick me when I'm down
I'm bleeding out the mouth
I hope you know I'm stronger now
I'm taking the hate, I'm turning it all around
I wont go down 'til I'm six feet underground...
What doesnt kill me only, will make me stronger in my head
Monster - Imagine Dragons
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me
A monster, a monster
I've turned into a monster
A monster, a monster
And it keeps getting stronger
Can I clear my conscience
If I'm different from the rest
Do I have to run and hide
I never said that I want this
This burden came to me
And it's made it's home inside
If I told you what I was
Would you turn your back on me
And if I seem dangerous
Would you be scared
Arsonist's Lullabye - Hozier
When I was a man I thought it ended
When I knew love's perfect ache
But my peace has always depended
On all the ashes in my wake
All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever tame your demons
Always keep them on a leash
Tanglewood Tree - Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer
Love is an old root that creeps through the meadows of sleep
When the long shadows cast
Thin as a vagrant young vine, it encircles and twines
And it holds the heart fast
Catches dreamers in the wildwood with the stars in their eyes
And the moon in their tousled hair
But love is a light in the sky, and an unspoken lie
And a half-whispered prayer
I'm walking down a bone-dry river but the cool mirage runs true
I'm banking on the fables of the far, far better things we do
I'm living for the day of reckoning, counting down the hours
I yearn away, I burn away, I turn away the fairest flower of love, 'cause darling
Love is a garden of thorns
Love's garden of thorns, how it grows
And a crow in the corn
Black crow in the corn hummin' low
And the brake growing wild
Brake nettle so pretty and wild
And thistles surround the edge of the
Cold when the summer is spent
Dim dark hour as the sun moves away
In the jade heart's lament
Lamenting a lost summer day
For the faith of a child
Who nurtures the faith of a child
When nothing remains to cover her eyes?
My body has a number and my face has a name
My body has a number, maybe my face has a name
And each day looks the same to me
Each hour like each hour before
But love is a voice on the wind
This longing is a voice on the wind
And the wages of sin
She cultivates the wages of sin
And a tanglewood tree
In a tanglewood tree
Choose Your Blade - House of Heroes
It was a numinous night, wet and cold like the last week of autumn
I felt a shiver dividing my bones from the top to the bottom
And there were two of me then, one part flesh and the other a phantom
To the phantom I said, get behind me, ye vamp of Diablo
It said, you speak out of turn, I am born of the shadow inside you
And I have lived in your heart and with it I've become quite accustomed
Choose your blade, we shall dance in the blood and the rain
I grow sick of your whispered betrayals
Go where the dead go, tu estas muerto
Choose your blade, I won't be held as a prisoner of shame
I grow sick of your lies and your games
Get thee behind me, you shall not bind me
It was a coward's decision when I offered you sanctuary
I knew it, right then and there that our cartel would be my undoing
But I, rationalized and believed every mangled half truth
Choose your blade, we shall dance in the blood and the rain
I grow sick of your whispered betrayals
Go where the dead go, tu estas muerto
Choose your blade, I won't be held as a prisoner of shame
I grow sick of your lies and your games
Get thee behind me, you shall not bind me
A nation that stands alone
Cold voices, faces pale
