Thought it was time we had a lyrics thread...I thinks sharing the words of our favourite songs is a way of sharing something of who we are. :)


Forgiven-Within Temptation

Couldn't save you from the start
Love you so it hurts my soul
Can you forgive me for trying again
your silence makes me hold my breath
All time has passed you by

for so long I've tried to shield you from the world
you couldn't face the freedom on your own
Here I am
left in silence

You gave up the fight
you left me behind
all that stands forgiven
You'll always be mine I know deep inside
all that stands forgiven

Watch the cloud drifting away
Still the sun can't warm my face
I know it was destined to go wrong
You were looking for the great escape
to chase your demons away

for so long I've tried to shield you from the world
you couldn't face the freedom on your own
Here I am
left in silence

You gave up the fight
you left me behind
all that stands forgiven
You'll always be mine I know deep inside
all that stands forgiven

I've been so lost since you've gone
why not me before you
why did fate deceive me

Everything turned out so wrong
Why did you leave me in silence

You gave up the fight
you left me behind
all that stands forgiven
You'll always be mine I know deep inside
all that stands forgiven

Shouldn't this be in the Music Forum? If not, THIS IS THE FIRST STICKY I'VE EVER SEEN IN RANDOM DISCUSSION!! !

What can I do for you?

* What can I do for you?...
I can hear you
What can I do for you?...

Ano hi kokoro no kanata ni egaiteta basho ni iru
Tohou ni kuretetari suru keredo mou modorenai

Yume ni mita katachi to wa
Nani mo kamo ga chigau
Genjitsu ni wa...memai sae suru

** RIARU na sekai ni yureteru kanjou
Maketakunai
Mou tada hashiru shika nai kono mune ni
Kikoete kuru
Kimi wa hitori ja nai

* repeat

Kesshite furimuki wa shinai anata ni wa tayoranai
Nanika ga areba kanarazu sugu ni kite kureru kara

Ima boku ni dekiru koto
Sore wa shinjiru koto...
Shinjitsu nara kono mune ni aru

RIARU na sekai ni yureteru kanjou
Sasaeru no wa
Sou anata ga oshiete kureta subete
Ima no watashi
Dakara, hitori ja nai

What can I do for you?...
I can hear you

RIARU na sekai ni yureteru kanjou
Kanjitemo
Anata ga me wo tojita nara soko ni iru
Kizuna ga aru
Dakara, hitori ja nai

** repeat

What can I do for you?...
I can hear you
What can I do for you?...
I can hear you

*sigh* I would say lyrics are pretty random, but if you have to be so pedantic...and please dont shout at me. I don't appreciate that at all. It is unnecessary.

Repost time from the song singing thread....

First, the Faction Paradox Nursery Rhyme (from the Doctor Who book Unnatural History, by Jonathan Blum and Kate Orman). Note, this was never recorded, just written down.

Sing the past to me, 'cause I'm the one who wrote the song,
I made it up next week so all the words will come out wrong,
The past won't keep you warm tonight, the future's blown to bits,
And everything that you believe is really full of sh**.



Now, This Vicious Cabaret from the comic of V for Vendetta. This was actually performed by David J...


They say that there's a broken light for every heart on Broadway.
They say that life's a game, then they take the board away.
They give you masks and costumes and an outline of the story
Then leave you all to improvise their vicious cabaret...

In no-longer-pretty cities there are fingers in kitties.
There are warrants, forms, and chitties and a jackboot on the stair.
Sex and death and human grime, in monochrome for one thin dime,
But at least the trains all run on time but they don't go anywhere.

Facing their Responsibilities either on their backs or on their knees
There are ladies who just simply freeze and dare not turn away
And the widows who refuse to cry will be dressed in garter and bow-tie
And be taught to kick their legs up high in this vicious cabaret.

At last! The 1998 Show!
The ballet on the burning stage.
The documentary see
Upon the fractured screen
The dreadful poem scrwled upon the crumpled page...

There's a policeman with an honest soul that has seen whose head is on the pole
And he grunts and fills his briar bowl with a feeling of unease.
But he briskly frisks the torn remains for a fingerprint or crimson stains
And endevours to ignore the chains that he walks in to his knees.

While his master in the dark nearby inspects the hands, with a brutal eye,
That have never brushed a lover's thigh but have squeezed a nation's threat.
But he hungers in his secret dreams for the harsh embrace of cruel machines
But his lover is not what she seems and she will not leave a note.

At last! The 1998 Show!
The Situation Tragedy
Grand Opera slick with soap
Cliffhangers with no hope
The water-colour in the flooded gallery...

There's a girl who'll push but not shove and is desperate for her father's love
She believes the hand beneath the glove maybe one she needs to hold.
Though she doubts her host's moralities she decides she is more at ease
In the Land Of Doing What You Please than outside in the cold.

But the backdrops peel and the sets give way and the cast gets eaten by the play
There's a murderer at the Matinee, there are dead men in the aisles
And the patrons and actors too are uncertain if the show is through
And with side-long looks await their cue but the frozen mask just smiles.

At last! The 1998 Show!
The torch-song no one ever sings
The curfew chorus line
The comedy divine
The bulging eyes of puppets strangled by their strings

There's thrills and chills and girls galore, sing-songs and surprises
There's something here for everyone, (reserve your seat today!)
There's mischief and malarkies but no queers or yids or darkies
Within this bastard's carnival, this vicious cabaret.



I will be posting more, including...

"You Know My Name"

"Paint It Black"

"Bohemian Rhapsody"

"Cruel Angel's Thesis"

and my own translation of the FFVII: Advent Children version of "One-Winged Angel"....

Okay, here's my translation (to fit the music) of the FFVII: Advent Children version of "One-Winged Angel". You can find the original Latin on some websites, as well as rough translations.



I will not remain,
Not remain in memory (x2)

Sephiroth

Sephiroth

I am filled with rage,
Filled with rage and misery (x2)

Sephiroth

Sephiroth

Come to me,
Crushing fear,
Come to me,
Monstrous fate

I will not remain,
Not remain a memory (x2)

Sephiroth

Sephiroth

(Little bit of music, going to the new Advent Children Lyrics)

Come to me, my family and see
Come to me, give me death once more (x2)

Won't remain in memory,
Rage and woe inside of me,
monstrous fear and fate,
This is the second advent

(Now to the familiar "climax" music)

Come, come my family,
Come, come to me and see,
Come, come to me and see
Fallen angel within me

(The sopranos over the second set of "Come, come")

Death invites you to come and see
The dark born angel within me
I will not name this angel lame
This next advent's not a game

etc.

Sleeping Sun- Nightwish

The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest

For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my nights
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime

I wish for this night time
to last for a life-time
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you

Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go

Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say

I wish for this night-time to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you


I wish for this night-time to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you....

We talkin' the One-Winged Angel Lyrics I did a singable translation for? Thanks. :D

Hmm....

PAINT IT BLACK
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you

If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I see a red door and I must have it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm,...

I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!

And now, "You Know My Name", by Chris Cornell


If you take a life, do you know what you'll give
Odds are, you won't like what it is
When the storm arrives, would you be seen with me
By the merciless eyes I've deceived

I've seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you yourself are nothing so divine
Just next in line

Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize; it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die

The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name

If you come inside, things will not be the same
When you return to my eyes
If you think you've won
You never saw me change
The game that we have been playing

I've seen diamonds cut through harder men
Than you yourself
But if you must pretend
You may meet your end

Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize; it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die

The coldest blood runs through my veins

Try to hide your hand
Forget how to feel
(Forget how to feel)
Life is gone with just a spin of the wheel
(A spin of the wheel)

Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize; it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die

The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
(You know my name)
You know my name
(You know my name)
You know my name!
You know my name!
You know my name!

PINK LYRICS

"Get The Party Started"

I'm comin' up so you better get this party started
I'm comin' up so you better get this party started

Get this party started on a Saturday night
Everybody's waitin for me to arrive
Sendin' out the message to all of my friends
We'll be lookin flashy in my Mercedes Benz
I got lotsa style, check my gold diamond rings
I can go for miles if you know what I mean
I'm comin' up so you better get this party started
I'm comin' up so you better get this party started

Pumpin up the volume, breakin down to the beat
Cruisin' through the west side
We'll be checkin' the scene
Boulevard is freakin' as I'm comin' up fast
I'll be burnin' rubber, you'll be kissin' my ass
Pull up to the bumper, get out of the car
License plate says Stunner #1 Superstar

I'm comin' up so you better get this party started
I'm comin' up so you better get this party started
Get this party started

Makin my connection as I enter the room
Everybody's chillin as I set up the groove
Pumpin' up the volume with this brand new beat
Everybody's dancin and their dancin for me
I'm your operator, you can call anytime
I'll be your connection to the party line

I'm comin' up so you better get this party started
I'm comin' up so you better get this party started
I'm comin' up so you better get this party started
I'm comin' up so you better get this party started
Get this party started
Get this party started right now
Get this party started
Get this party started
Get this party started right now


Mum likes Pink. :)

And here's a few lyrics from the Silent Hill games, 3 and 4. My favourites, "You're Not Here", "Letter from the Lost Days", "Hometown", the "Silent Hill Song" (which is sung really silly in Japanese) and "Room of Angel"....

First, "You're Not Here"...

(This is copied from a GameFAQS FAQ, so forgive the unusual formatting using timing...)

++++++++++++++++++++++
You're not here [La]
++++++++++++++++++++++

Composer: Akira Yamaoka
Performed By: Melissa Williamson
Length: 3:45


(0:29)Blue sky to forever
(0:31)Green grass blows in the wind, dancing
(0:36)It would be a much better sight,
(0:40)With you, With me.

(0:43)If you hadn't met me
(0:45)I'd be fine on my own, baby
(0:50)Never felt so lonely then you came along

(0:55)So now what should I do?
(0:59)I'm strung out addicted to you
(1:02)My body aches now that you're gone
(1:05)My supply fell through

(1:10)You gladly gave me everything you had and more
(1:15)You craved my happiness,
(1:17)When you made me feel joy it made you smile
(1:21)But now I feel your stress.
(1:24)Love was never meant to be such a crazy affair, no?
(1:29)And who has time for tears?
(1:31)I never thought I'd sit around and cry for your love,
(1:38 )'till now...

--Musical Solo--

(1:58)Oh I feel your stress

(2:05)Come on,
(2:07)Oh, who has time for tears?
(2:11)Oh, my baby

(2:21)Yeah yeah

(2:34)Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

(2:46)I feel your stress


Now, "Letter"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Letter-from the lost days [Lb]
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Composer: Akira Yamaoka
Performed By: Melissa Williamson
Length: 3:54


(0:29)A letter to my futre-self
(0:33)Am I still happy? I began,
(0:37)Have I grown up pretty?
(0:40)Is daddy still a good man?
(0:44)Am I still friends with Coleen?
(0:47)I'm sure that I'm still laughing...
(0:51)Aren't I?
(0:54)Aren't I?

(1:05)Hey there to my future-self
(1:10)If you forget how to smile
(1:13)I have this to tell you
(1:16)Remember it once in awhile
(1:20)Ten years ago your past-self
(1:24)Prayed for your happiness,
(1:27)Please don't lose hope.

(1:35)Oh, oh what a pair, me and you
(1:42)Put here to feel joy, nothing blue
(1:49)Sad times, and bad times, see them through
(1:56)Soon we will know if it's for real
(2:03)What we both feel...

{Spoken}

(2:18)Though I can't know for sure
(2:20)How things worked out for us,
(2:23)No matter how hard it gets
(2:26)You have to realize: we weren't put on this earth
(2:30)To suffer and cry
(2:34)We were made for being happy-
(2:37)So...be happy...For me. For you...
(2:45)Please...

{Sung}

(2:47)Oh, oh what a pair, me and you
(2:54)Put here to feel joy, nothing blue
(3:02)Sad times, and bad times, see them through
(3:09)Soon we will know if it's for real
(3:16)What we both feel...

(3:24)We were put here on this earth. Put here to feel joy. (Repeat four times)

Hmm, I like both of those sets of lyrics, Quater. They appeal to me.
