Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find You acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
It's my own desire
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
a reply to: valiant good selection, dear friend... almost called you a roadie... being silly..glad to see you posting.
I would like to listen to a really good cover of the doors with female lead singer..not sounding the same as Jim Morrison voice... sadly my voice is
not high pitched or feminine due to creating thrash songs for my boy, fur baby cat... just songs to show I care.
Can you believe my cat likes Metallica? They are still cool, right?
CHELSEA WOLFE doing Survive ...
This song is a more recent but the feel of it tells a good story that I can associate with. The softer dark ominous buildup to a heavy ending. Here is
a live version of the song Survive by Chelsea Wolfe played live in Philadelphia a few months ago which is where I live near.
You said you won't break my heart
Unless you do
You said you won't fall apart
Until the end
Did we travel all this way
Just to survive?
Did you stay another day?
We could survive
All the sinners and the saints
Move in the same direction
They walk in place
Until the end
Ramble on this barren place
We call our home
Dreams of endless landscapes
Morphing in love
DANZIG doing Her Black Wings ...
Next song has played an important part in many things or memories in my life so that tells the story...
Blackest of the black
Darker than night
Come to me my bleeding light
See she comes
She comes now
Enter oblivion
Yea, here she is
Harder than life
In my arms
See she there
Entwined with love
Unclean she is
And she comes down to me
And she offers me sleep
Under her black
Whoa oh, under her black wings
Whoa oh, under her black
See she comes
On the eve of dusk
In another form
With a scent of rain upon her neck
She brings the lust
Supernatural
Ceasing never
On and
On and
On
Her stride is such
Mortals freeze
When she walks past
And she comes down to me
And she offers me sleep
Under her black wings
Whoa oh, under her black wings
Whoa oh, under her black wings
Whoa oh, under her black wings
Whoa oh, under her black wings
See she comes
Blacker than pitch
Have to make this fallen bitch
All I want
All I crave
Demoness calls
The bitch is come
For those who wait
Cross the breach in hell
See she is
Bedeviled with breasts
Enchantment on legs
And she comes down to me, yea
And she offers me sleep
Under her black
Brendan Perry covering Song to the Siren ...
Then just to show its not all darker songs the band Dead Can Dance (Brendan Perry-Lisa Gerrard) have been with me musically in my life for so long and
across multiple decades so any of their songs contribute to telling my story. In this case I picked Brendan Perry covering the classic Tim Buckley
song of longing , risk and the lure of love called Song to the Siren..This Mortal Coil also does a well known cover of this, in certain music scenes,
but for me Brendan Perry's voice has always been healing and calming.
Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
And you sang
Sail to me
Sail to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am
Here I am
Waiting to hold you
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you hare when I was fox?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks,
For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow:
O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow"
I am puzzled as the newborn child
I am as troubled as the tide.
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or should I lie with Death my bride?
Hear me sing, "Swim to me, Swim to me, Let me enfold you:
Here I am, Here I am, Waiting to hold you"
