As far as how it would sound goes, I would prefer Nightwish's Seeping Sun song.

In The End, by Linkin park, though, reminds me of Vashdale Zen, a fiction character I developed. I hope this link works.

and another one by Ultravox: Hymn


Give us, this day,
all that you showed me
the power and the glory, till my kingdom come.....

give us, this day,
all that you showed me
the power and the glory
till my kingdom come!
give me, all the
storybook told me
the faith and the glory
till my kingdom come

and they said that in our time
all thats good would fall from grace
even saints would turn their face
in our time
and the told us that in our day
certain words said in different ways
have other meaning to he who says
in our time......

give us, this day,
all that you showed me
the power and the glory
till my kingdom come!
give me, all the
storybook told me
the faith and the glory
till my kingdom come

and they said that in our time
we would reap from their legacy
we would learn from they had seen
in our time
and they told us that in our day
we would know what was high on high
we would follow and not defy in our time

give us, this day,
all that you showed me
the power and the glory
till my kingdom come!
give me, all the
storybook told me
the faith and the glory
till my kingdom come

faithless in faith
we must behold the things, we see!

[chorus repeat-fadeout]

I am very deeply moved by music so I have a very long list

Anything by Freshlyground

This is Doo Bee Doo

Did you hear the news
on the radio today
the people have agreed to give their lives away
I cannot let be there alone no no no
the politicans have agreed
to listen and obey
they listen to all of the people say
I can't let you be there alone
no non no

doo bee doo be doobeaaay





My Immortal- Evananescence

"You used to captivate me by your resonating light"
Anything by Bob Dylan especially Chimes of Freedom, the Times they are a Changing
Anything by U2
Especially
One
City of Blinding Lights

"one you look so beautiful tonight, in the city of blinding lights"

(Every time I am in New York, that line gets too me)
New Year's Day
Pride

Midnight Oil- Forgotten Years, Bedlam Bridge, Beds are Burning, Blue Sky Mine

"Out where the river broke
the bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesals
steam in forty-five degrees

the time has come to say fair's fair
to pay the rent, to pay our share"

Another segment of Beds are Burning

Four wheels scare the cuckatoos
from Kintore East to Yunedemu
the Western desert lives and breathes
in forty-five degrees"

Bedlam Bridge

In the city of no footpath
there is a building with no people
there are crime and gun decisions

but there is a man who makes your enemies
no ambition ever holds him


sons for the White House gangsters
we have captains not courageous
we have captains tumbling into madness

so light's up the sea
on this winter's night
the city on the hill
so they said
the lights are going around the armory
and the city's melted furnace
is rung around our backs

and there are churches made of metal
we have mountains full of muscle

Peter Gabriel- Red Rain, In Your Eyes, San Jacinto

"We will live, hold the line"
we will breath from the stream, we

and Red Rain

I am standing on the water's edge
in my dreams
i cannot make a single sound as you scream
it cannot be the cold, the ground is too warm to touch

When I run away, I travel in my car
but whichever way I go
I connect to the place you are
and all of my instincts, they return
and the grand facade so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
in your eyes

In Your eyes, I see the doorway
your eyes, of a thousand churches your eyes
the resolution
your eyes
of a thousand searches

and Biko
September 77, Port Elizabeth
weather fine
it was business as usual
in police room 619

oh, biko, biko,

you can burn out a candle
but you can't burn out a fire
the wind will catch it and blow it higher
your eyes

Undercover of the night

The sex police are on the streets
make sure the pass laws aren't broken


ok, to get off the topic of apartheid

Freshlygrounds' Father Please don't go

Father please don't go
i cannot make this lonely world without you

Or Semisonics's closing time

Leonard' Cohen's

First we take Manhattan

They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
for trying to change the system from withinn
i gathered now, I'm gathering to reward them
first we take Manhatten, they we take Berlin

I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
i'm guided by the earthmark on my skin
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
first we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin


I don't like your fashion business, mister
I don't like what happened to my sister
and I don't like the drugs that keep you thin
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin


U2's Bullet the Blue Sky

(but the lyrics are so convoluted I can't recite them)

Where the streets have no name

I want to run, I want to hide
I Want to tear down the walls that hold me inside
I want to reach out and touch the flame
where the streets have no name

I want to feel some light on my face
I see the dustclouds disappear without a trace
I want to take your time
in the poison rain
where the streets have no name

Mandoza's Nkalakatha which might seem unusual on this list

Did I break the posting space size?

Translation:


[refrain]
Can you remember the melody I used to hum?
(Back in the Days)
Every memory is shining brightly (So)
You gotta remember, even now you have a fragment of a dream in your hand
Like back then (Come on!)
It shines like a young boy's heart

When I wrote about my "future dreams", how many years have passed since I was my old self?
While swinging between reality and idealization, my burning passion disappeared
Wait! Hey, wait up!
This game is only starting, get hyped! Get hyped!
It's a game over only when you give up
So stand up under your own strength

Do you remember? Back in the day
We gave all our strength for faint hope
We lived for tomorrow
Did we forget those feelings somewhere?
There's no limit to our youth, I think theres no limit for adventurous spirits
Isn't that right?
We wanna make the dream come true
so..

Let's bloom, let's bloom, let's bloom! Let's bloom the flowers of passion!
Let's bloom, let's bloom, let's bloom!

[repeat refrain]

"Once upon a time certainly certainly certainly we.. "
We made, in the end of it all
Innocent courage shake, squeeze and recall the heat of a child's mind
From young boy to adult theres still a boy present within
The thing thats shining is, is so groovy
Like challenger da yeah!!

How does an adult come from a child?" What do you think?
Which way do I go?
Since society's been in a shell
Locking itself in a small cage waiting for a target
You question yourself in the mirror
"I guess there's still a long way to our goal"
We changed the shape of our dreams, that would shine forever

Let's bloom, let's bloom, let's bloom! Let's bloom the flowers of passion!
Let's bloom, let's bloom, let's bloom!

[repeat refrain]

[saxophone instrumental]

What should have been done? Could I have done something?
There's nothing I found that you wanted to do
I believe there's never too late
The beginning isn't slow
It's a possibility so search for infinity
Changing tommorrow's circumstances will take power
So it'll probably bloom the flowers of passion that you search for

[repeat refrain x2]

I like this verse from Billy Joel's River Of Dreams

I've been searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night

I like his "Honesty":

If you search for tenderness it isn't hard to find -
you can have the love you need to live.
But if you look for truthfulness you might just as well be blind.
It always seems to be so hard to give.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

I can always find someone to say they sympathize
if I wear my heart out on my sleeve.
But I don't want some pretty face to tell me pretty lies.
All I want is someone to believe.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

I can find a lover.
I can find a friend.
I can have security until the bitter end.
Anyone can comfort me with promises again.
I know, I know.

When I'm deep inside of me don't be too concerned.
I won't ask for nothing while I'm gone.
But when I want sincerity tell me where else can I turn?
Cause you're the one that I depend upon.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

RHCP - Dani California

Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper and mama was a hippie
In Alabama she would swing a hammer
Price you gotta pay when you pick the panorama
She never knew that there was anything more than poor
What in the world? What does your company take me for?

Black bandana, sweet Louisiana
Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana
She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
Oh her merry way sayin' baby whatcha gonna
Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal forty five
Just another way to survive

[Chorus:]
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest, yeah, yeah

She's a lover baby and a fighter
Shoulda seen her coming when it got a little brighter
With a name like Dani California
Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya
A little loaded, she was stealin' another breath
I love my baby to death

[Chorus]

Who knew the other side of you?
Who knew what others died to prove?
Too true to say good bye to you
Too true to say say say...

Push the fader, gifted animator
One for the now and eleven for the later
Never made it up to Minnesota
North Dakota man was a gunnin' for the quota

Down in the badlands she was savin' the best for last
It only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fast...

[Chorus 2x]

Hey Jealousy- Gin Blossoms
Tell me do you think it'd be alright
If I could Just crash here tonight
AS you see I'm in no shape for drivin'
And any way I 've got no place to go

And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I ever had
I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might no be alone

Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found to take it's place

Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey Jealousy
Hey Jealousy

You can trust me not to drink
And not to sleep around
And if you don't expect too much form me
YOu might not be let down

Cos all I really want's to be with you
And feel like I matter too
If I didn't blow the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you

Tomorrow we can drive around this town
Andlet the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found to take it's place

Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy

Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found to take it's place

Hey Jealousy
Hey Jealousy...etc

Listen to my heart
There's only one thing I can start

Paperback Writer-The Beatles

Paperback writer, paperback writer.
Dear Sir or Madam will you read my book,
It took me years to write will you take a look,
Based on a novel by a man named Lear,
And I need a job,
So I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.
It's a dirty story of a dirty man,
And his clinging wife doesn't understand.
His son is working for the Daily Mail,
It's a steady job,
But he wants to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.
It's a thousand pages give or take a few,
I'll be writing more in a week or two,
I can make it longer if you like the style,
I can change it round,
And I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.
If you really like it you can have the rights,
It could make a million for you overnight,
If you must return it you can send it here,
But I need a break,
And I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.

Key of the twighlight
so far away
nothing i wont give
brothers
Symponic Ruins
I am...all of me
Never turn back

this one is stuck in my head at the moment...
Cup o' Joe by Sheer Terror

Pass the time, passing the time.
Wasting my time looking for the end.
Smoking like a dragon, drowning in my flagon.
Pumping like a work horse going 'round the bend.

Shouting and screaming 'til the walls go deaf.
Shaking my fire and brimstone fist.
Choking on dust as I cleanse myself.
Staining my eyes as I search myself.

I'll never, ever understand.
No one will ever, ever know.

Sticks and stones will break my bones
But cancer will probably kill me.
Filling the gaps with vice after vice.
None of which actually thrill me.

I regret nothing.
Non ! Rien de rien...
Non ! Je ne regrette rien
Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait
Ni le mal, tout a m'est bien gal !
Non ! Rien de rien...
Non ! Je ne regrette rien
J'ai pay, balaye, oublie
Je me fous du passe !

Avec mes souvenirs
J'ai allume le feu
Mes chagrins, mes plaisirs
Je n'ai plus besoin d'eux !
Balayes mes amours
Et tous leurs tremolos
Balayes pour toujours
Je repars a zero...

Non ! Rien de rien...
Non ! Je ne regrette rien
Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait
Ni le mal, tout a m'est bien gal !
Non ! Rien de rien...
Non ! Je ne regrette rien...
Car ma vie, car mes joies
Aujourd'hui, ca commence avec toi !

Prayer - Hayley Westenra

Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light?

Hush; lay down your troubled mind
The day has vanished and left us behind
And the wind, whispering soft lullabies
Will soothe, so close your weary eyes

Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light?

Sleep
Angels will watch over you
And soon beautiful dreams will come true
Can you feel spirits embracing your soul?
So dream while secrets of darkness unfold

Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light?

Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light?

This song makes me cry; it's so beautiful.

The Black Mages - Otherworld

Go on if you want it
Another world awaits you
Don't you give up on it
You bite the hand that feeds you

All alone, cold fields you wander
Memories of it, cloud your sight
Fills your dreams, wakes your slumber
Lost your way, a fallen knight

Hold now, aim is steady
Another world awaits you
One thousand years - you ready?
The otherworld it takes you

Go into the sand and dust in the sky
Go now, there's no better plan than to do or die
Free me, pray to the fayth in the face of the light
Feed me, fill me with sin, and get ready to fight

Hope dies and you wonder
The otherworld it makes you
Dreams, they rip asunder
The otherworld it hates you

All alone, cold fields you wander
Memories of it, cloud your sight
Fills your dreams, wakes your slumber
Lost your way, a fallen knight

Free now, ride up on it
Up to the heights it takes you
Go on, if you want it
Another world awaits you!

Night Train
Bruce Cockburn

Not a knife throw from here you can hear the night train passing
That's the sound somebody makes when they're getting away
Leaving next week's hanging jury far behind them
Prisoner only of the choices they've made

Night train

Ice cube in a dark drink shines like starlight
The moon is floating somewhere out at sea
On an island in the blur of noise and color
Alcatraz, St. Helena, Patmos and the Chateau D'If

Night train

And everyone's an island edged with sand
A temporary refuge where somebody else can stand
Till the sea that binds us like the forced tide of a blood oath
Will wear it down - dissolve it - recombine it

Anyone can die here they do it every day
It doesn't take much effort tho it goes against the grain
And the ultimate forgetfulness of violence
Sweeps the landscape like a headlight of a train

Night train

Ice cube in a dark drink shines like star light
Starlight shines like glass shards in dark hair
And the mind's eye tumbles out along the steel track
Fixing every shadow with its stare

Night train
Night train

And in the absence of a vision there are nightmares
And in the absence of compassion there is cancer
Whose banner waves over palaces and mean streets
And the rhythm of the night train is a mantra
