Music for Armageddon - Revolution and Motivation (Metal, Rock, Rap) - Need suggestions

I believe Armageddon is Revolution.

I am looking to create a playlist with songs about Revolution or Motivational. I was hopping that I could get some suggestions from ATS. This is an "angry" playlist. I am looking for Heavy Metal, Hard Rock and Harder Rap songs. Christian or other religious artists are welcome.

To get the thread started I have put together a small sample of the playlist that I am looking to build. There is a message in the playlist for the leaders of this world. For those of you that can't watch videos I have added some of the lyrics so you can understand what I am trying to create with this playlist.

Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you in advance.



Skillet - Rise

Sound it off, this is the call!
Rise in revolution!
It's our time to change it all,
Rise in revolution!
Unite and fight, to make a better life!
Everybody one for all,
Sound off, this is the call, tonight we rise!



P.O.D. - Alive

Sunshine upon my face
A new song for me to sing
Tell the world how I feel inside
Even though it might cost me everything
Now that I know this
So beyond, I can't hold this
I can never turn my back away
Now that I see you
I can never look away



3 doors down - Duck and Run

This world can turn me down but I won't turn away
And I won't duck and run 'cause I'm not built that way

When everything is gone there's nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down, no 'cause I am already here, oh no

I'm already here, down on my knees
I'm already here, oh no, I'm already here
I must have told you a thousand times
I'm not running away
I won't duck and run



Papa Roach - Warriors

Shine your light
Push the enemy back
When you're under attack
It will protect you
Kill the night
All we need is a spark
We can bury the dark
Ignite – Come on and shine your light

We throw our misery in the inferno
Illuminate our lives we are eternal
United in a head on collision
We sacrifice ourselves for the mission

We are the warriors



Eminen - Till I Collapse (Motivational)

'Cause sometimes you just feel tired, you feel weak
And when you feel weak you feel like you want to just give up
But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
And just pull that s*** out of you and get that motivation to not give up
And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you want to just fall flat on your face and collapse

....And when your run is over just admit when it's at its end
'Cause I'm at the end of my wits with half the s*** that gets in
I got a list, here's the order of my list that it's in; It goes ... and then Me

But in this industry I'm the cause of a lot of envy
So when I'm not put on this list the s*** does not offend me
That's why you see me walk around like nothing's bothering me
Even though half you people got a f-in problem with me
You hate it but you know respect you've got to give me
The press's wet dream like Bobby and Whitney

Til the roof comes off, till the lights go out
Til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth.
Til the smoke clears out, am I high perhaps
I'm a rip this s*** till my bone collapse. - RIP Nate Dog



Nickleback - The Hammer is Comming Down

This is the calm before the coming storm
This is the red sky morning
Without warning now

This is the fight that we've been waiting for
And there's no sense in running
The hammer's coming down

Once it's started, there's no turning back
But I'll be with you when the sun turns black
'Cause finding faith will always be the hardest
While you're standing in the heart of darkness

If there is one thing I can promise you
We'll see the light again



Nickleback - Edge of a Revolution

No, we won't give up, we won't go away
'Cause we're not about to live in this mass delusion
No, we don't wanna hear another word you say
'Cause we know they're all depending on mass confusion

No, we can't turn back, we can't turn away
'Cause it's time we all relied on the last solution
No, we won't lay down and accept this fate
'Cause we're standing on the edge of a revolution

Wall Street, common thief
When they get caught they all go free
A brand new yacht and a finders fee
Standing on the edge of a revolution

Same s***, different day
Can't keep fed if I can't get paid
We'll all be dead if the s*** don't change

Do you see what I see? Truth is an offense You silence for your confidence Do you hear what I hear? Doors are slamming shut Limit your imagination, keep you where they must Do you feel what I feel? Bittering distress Who decides what you express Do you take what I take? Endurance is the word Moving back instead of forward seems to me absurd Doesn't matter what you see? Or intuit what you read You can do it your own way If it's done just how I say Independence limited Freedom of choice Choice is mad for you my friend Freedom of speech Speech is words that they will bend Freedom with their exception Do you fear what I fear? Living properly Truths to you are lies to me Do you choose what I choose? More alternatives Energy derives from both the plus and negative Do you need what I need? Boundaries overthrown Look inside to each his own Do you trust what I trust? Me, myself and I Penetrate the smoke screen I see through the selfish lie Doesn't matter what you see Or intuit what you read You can do it your own way If it's done just how I say Independence limited Freedom of choice Choice is mad for you my friend Freedom of speech Speech is words that they will bend Freedom with their exception Do you know what I know? Your money end your wealth Your silence just to hear your self Do you want what I want? Desire not a thing I hunger after independence lengthen freedom's ring Doesn't matter what you see Or intuit what you read You can do it your own way If it's done just how I say Independence limited Freedom of choice Choice is mad for you my friend Freedom of speech Speech is words that they will bend Freedom no longer frees you Doesn't matter what you see Or intuit what you read You can do it your own way If it's done just how I say

Any place there is a ground zero rest assured I will walk towards it.

Life isn't what you make it

Life is free of disease fear sickness hunger fear anger worry and work and you get everything you desire need and want 100% of the time.

I know.....I'm irrational and no one can see their part thus I'm definitely not going to see mine either.

Pop culture is a subtle, yet sweet-tasting form of mass propaganda...

...which is exactly what we should be revolting against.

a reply to: Isurrender73

Just a small contribution to the revolution ...



Rise up
Take my life back
Rise up
'Cause I know where I wanna be
I’m done being victimized
Sick of being paralyzed
Rise up
Cut away the past
Take my life back
Rise up

A list of songs about revolution would not be complete without the Beatles "Revolution 1"

h, take 18.

OK!

You say you want a revolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know you can count me out in
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Don't you know it's gonna be alright

You say you got a real solution
Well you know
We don't all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We're doing what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Don't you know it's gonna be alright

You say you'll change the constitution
Well you know
We all love to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Don't you know it's gonna be alright

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Alright, alright, alright
Alright
Alrig

Well, you asked for it. I've always been into very heavy metal most of my life. This one comes from a Christian heavy metal band, which due to my own beliefs, took me years to finally give a chance.

With years to plan.
And sharpen their teeth.
To smile, and walk free.
But no one knows.
No one knows.
Free the wolf from his cage.
Watch him hunt.
Stalk his prey.
We let them go.
They will hunt again.
Prey on the simple.
Feast in the temple.
Free the wolf?
We must put him down.
We'll put him down again.
Our protectors hide and grin.

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this
Bull# three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless f@#king hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any #ing time. Any f@#king day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car.

It's a
Bulls@#t three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless f@#king hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any #ing time. Any f@#king day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dip#s.

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will cuz
I sure could use a vacation from this

Silly #, stupid #...

One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.

Learn to swim.

Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be.

Learn to swim.

F@#k L Ron Hubbard and
F@#k all his clones.
F@#k all those gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabes.

Learn to swim.

F@#k retro anything.
F@#k your tattoos.
F@#k all you junkies and
F@#k your short memory.

Learn to swim.

F@#k smiley glad-hands
With hidden agendas.
F@#k these dysfunctional,
Insecure actresses.

Learn to swim.

Cuz I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna watch it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.

Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.

I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend.

I wanna see it all come down.
suck it down.
flush it down.

You can't beat the 1960's for the best revolution songs.

Here is a classic from Thunderclap Newman. The song was written by Speedy Keen who also worked with Motorhead .The Who's Pete Townsend produced the song.




The song was later re worked by Tom Petty

a reply to: Isurrender73

Ugh... Any playlist with Nickleback in it is yuck... Oh well. They are your tastes. In any case, here you go, the original Armageddon song:



War Pigs

Generals gathered in their masses,
just like witches at black masses.
Evil minds that plot destruction,
sorcerer of death's construction.
In the fields the bodies burning,
as the war machine keeps turning.
Death and hatred to mankind,
poisoning their brainwashed minds...Oh lord yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait `till their judgement day comes, yeah!

Now in darkness, world stops turning,
ashes where the bodies burning.
No more war pigs have the power,
hand of god has struck the hour.
Day of judgement, god is calling,
on their knees the war pigs crawling.
Begging mercy for their sins,
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings...Oh lord, yeah!

Thank you to everyone whp participated. I was hoping for some diversity and you have provided me what I was looking for.

a reply to: Krazysh0t

War Pigs is one of my favorites. I have a few Black Sabbath songs on my list.

I know Nickleback isn't everyone's favorite, they fill the Pop/Rock genre which doesn't really work for most rock enthusiasts.

But I agree with the message in those two songs.
