THE
FIGHT SONG
(Marilyn
Manson)
Nothing suffocates you more
than the passing of everyday
human events,
and isolation is the oxygen
mask
you make your children breathe
into survive!
But I'm not a slave
to a god that doesn't exist!
I'm not a slave
to a world that doesn't
give a shit!
And when we were good,
you just closed your eyes;
so when we are bad,
we'll scar your minds.
Fight, fight, fight, fight,
fight, fight, fight, fight!
You'll never grow up to
be a
big-rock-star-celebrated-victim-of-your-fame.
They'll just cut our wrists
like cheap coupons
and say the death was on
sale today.
The death of one is a tragedy,
the death of one is a tragedy,
the death of one is a tragedy,
but death of millions is
just a statistic! |
[99]
(Marilyn
Manson)
(Go ahead and date a dead
Messiah,
we can dig another grave.)
This is your calling.
If you're hearing this,
there's nothing I can do.
Something has grown out
of my chest.
I've seen it, it is hard
and cold.
It's been dormant for many
years.
We're trying to save you,
I have come to save you.
This is what you deserve,
this is what we deserve.
This is something we have
brought upon ourselves.
We are not a victim, you
are not a victim.
We are not a victim, you
are not a victim.
God will grovel before me,
God will crawl at my feet.
And the time is this...
And the time is...
When you are suffering,
know that I've betrayed
you. |
ASTRAL
ROMANCE
(NightWish)
A nocturnal concerto
Candlelight whispers me
where to go
Hymn of gathering stars
as my guide
As I wander on this path
of the night
Embroidery of the stars
Undress my feelings for
this earth
Send me your salva to heal
my scars
And let this nakedness me
my birth
Macrocosm poured its powers
on me
And the hopes of this world
I now must leave
The nightwish I sent you
centuries ago
Has been heard by those
Who dwelled in a woe
The distance of our bridal
bed
Await for me to be dead
Dust of the galaxies take
my hand
Lead me to my beloved's
land
Departed by the guilliotine
of death
I recieved a letter from
the depth
The dream of my lover it
carried inside
Caressed by the sharpest
knife
I asked you to be my wife
Rays of the setting sun
Were my tears wept upon
promises undone
Come to me
Make me believe
to you and your love again
Above the universe
Beneath the Great Eye
I shall desire you forever
more. |
BEAUTY
AND THE BEAST
(NightWish)
Remember the first dance
we shared?
Recall the night you melted
my ugliness away?
The night you left with
a kiss so kind
Only a send of beauty left
behind
Ah dear friend I remember
the night
The moon and the dreams
we shared
Your trembling paw in my
hand
Dreaming of that northern
land
Touching me with a kiss
of a beast
I know my dreams are made
of you
Of you and only for you
Your ocean pulls me under
Your voice tears me asunder
Love me before the last
petal falls
As a world without a glance
Of the ocean's fair expanse
Such the world would be
If no love did flow in thee
But as my heart is occupied
Your love for me now has
to die
Forgive me I need more than
you can offer me
Didn't you read the tale
Where happily ever after
was to kiss a frog?
Don't you know this tale
In which all I ever wanted
I'll never have
For who could ever learn
to love a beast?
However cold the wind and
rain
I'll be there to ease your
pain
However cruel the mirrors
of sin
Remember beauty is found
within
...Forever shall the wolf
in me desire the sheep in you... |
