Post as many songs as you can with their lyrics and if its possible, put an embeding so that we can hear it in this thread.

Oh, and try to make it so that there is 1 song per post, it’ll make it easier to find songs.

And remember, don’t post a song after it has already been posted.

Here, I’ll post the first one:

I Stand Alone – By Godsmack

I Stand Alone – Godsmack

Lyrics

Now I’ve told you this once before can’t control me If you try to take me down you’re gonna pay I feel your every nothing that your doing for me I’m thinking you oughta make you own way

I stand alone inside I stand alone(I stand alone)

You’re always hiding behind your so-called goddess So what, you don’t think that we can see your face? Ressurrected back before the final falling I’ll never rest until I can make my own way

I’m not afraid of fading I stand alone Feeling your sting down inside me I’m not dying for it I stand alone Everything that I believe is fading I stand alone inside I stand alone(I stand alone)

Now it’s my time (now it’s my time) It’s my time to dream (It’s my time to dream) Dream of the skies (dream of the skies) Make me believe that this place isn’t plagued by the poison in me Help me decide if my fire will burn out before you can breathe Breathe into me

I stand alone inside I stand alone

Feeling your sting down inside me I’m not dying for it I stand alone everything that I believe is fading

I stand alone inside I stand alone inside I stand alone inside I stand alone inside

In The End – By Linkin Park

In The End – Linkin Park

Lyrics

It starts with One thing, I dont know why It doesnt even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme To explain due time All I know Time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down till the end of the day Clock ticks life away Its so unreal You didnt look out below, Watch the time go right out the window Tryn to hold on Didnt even know, I wasted it all Just to watch you go I kept everything inside And even though I tried It all fell apart What its meant to be Will, eventually be, A memory of a time, When I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesnt even matter… I had to fall, to loose it all… But in the end, it doesnt even matter…

One thing, I dont know why It doesnt even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme To remind myself How I tried so hard… Dispite the way you were mocking me Acting like I was part of your property Remembering all the times you fought with me Im surprised it got so far Things arent the way they were before You wouldnt even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then But it all comes back to me In the end…

You kept everything inside And even though I tried it all fell apart What it meant to be, will Eventually, be a memory of a time When I tried so hard, And got so far, But in the end, it doesnt even matter I had to fall, to loose it all But in the end, it doesnt even matter

Ive put my trust in you Pushed as far, as I can go For all this Theres only one thing you should know

Ive put my trust, in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this Theres only one thing you should know… I tried so hard, And got so far, But in the end, it doesnt even matter I had to fall, to loose it all, But in the end, it doesnt even matte

Numb – By Linkin Park

Numb – Linkin Park

Lyrics

I’m tired of being what you want me to be Feeling so faithless lost under the surface Don’t know what you’re expecting of me Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow) Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

[Chorus] I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there Become so tired so much more aware I’m becoming this all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you

Can’t you see that you’re smothering me Holding too tightly afraid to lose control Cause everything that you thought I would be Has fallen apart right in front of you (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow) Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow) And every second I waste is more than I can take

[Chorus] I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there Become so tired so much more aware I’m becoming this all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know I may end up failing too But I know You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

[Chorus] I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there Become so tired so much more aware I’m becoming this all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you

[Chorus] I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there I’m tired of being what you want me to be I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there I’m tired of being what you want me to be

Run To The Hills – By Iron Maiden

Run To The Hills – iron maiden

Lyrics

White man came across the sea He brought us pain and misery He killed our tribes, he killed our creed He took our game for his own need

We fought him hard we fought him well Out on the plains we gave him hell But many came too much for cree Oh will we ever be set free?

Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes Galloping hard on the plains Chasing the redskins back to their holes Fighting them at their own game Murder for freedom a stab in the back Women and children and cowards attack

Run to the hills run for your lives Run to the hills run for your lives

Soldier blue on the barren wastes Hunting and killing their game Raping the women and wasting the men The only good indians are tame Selling them whisky and taking their gold Enslaving the young and destroying the old

Run to the hills run for your lives (repeat to end)

Dumb-Nirvana

Lyrics Im not like them

But I can pretend

The sun is gone

But I have a light

The day is done

But Im having fun

I think Im dumb

Or maybe just happy

Think Im just happy [repeat 3x]

My heart is broke

But I have some glue

Help me inhale

And mend it with you

Well float around

And hang out on clouds

Then well come down

And I have a hangover

Have a hangover [repeat 3x]

Skin the sun

Fall asleep

Wish away

The soul is cheap

Lesson learned

Wish me luck

Soothe the burn

Wake me up

[repeat first verse and chorus]

I think Im dumb [repeat 12x]

Through The Fire And Flames – By Dragonforce

Lyrics

On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light In flames of death’s eternal reign we ride towards the fight And the darkness is falling down and the times are tough all right The sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight

Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel Through the wastelands evermore The scattered souls will feel the hell, bodies wasted on the shore

On the blackest plains in hells domain We watch them as they go Through fire and pain and once again we know

Tonight we fly ever free We’re free before the thunderstorm On towards the wilderness our quest carries on Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight Deep inside our hearts and all our souls

So far away we wait for the day For the light source so wasted and gone We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days Through the fire and the flames we carry on

As the red day is dawning And the lightning cracks the sky They raise their hands to the heavens above with resentment to their eyes. Running back through the mid-morning light There’s a burning in my heart We’re banished from the time in the fallen land To a life beyond the stars

In your blackest dreams we do believe Our destiny this time And endlessly we’ll all be free tonight

And on the wings of a dream So far beyond reality All alone in desperation Now the time is gone

Lost inside you’ll never find Lost within my own mind Day after day this misery must go on

So far away we wait for the day For the light source so wasted and gone We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days Through the fire and the flames we carry on

Whoah, whoah, whoooooah, whoah, whoah, whoooooah

Now here we stand with their blood on our hands We fought so hard now can we understand I’ll break the seal of this curse if i possibly can For freedom of every man

So far away we wait for the day For the light source so wasted and gone We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days Through the fire and the flames we carry on

In The Air Tonight- Phil Collins

Lyrics
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
Ive been waiting for this moment, all my life, oh lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord

Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
Ive seen your face before my friend
But I dont know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where youve been
Its all been a pack of lies

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
Ive been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord
And Ive been waiting for this moment all my life, oh lord, oh lord

Well I remember, I remember dont worry
How could I ever forget, its the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you dont fool me
The hurt doesnt show; but the pain still grows
Its no stranger to you or me

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord…

Voices – Dream Theater

LYRICS: ‘Love, just don’t stare’ He used to say to me every Sunday morning The spider in the window The angel in the pool The old man takes the poison Now the widow makes the rules

‘So speak, I’m right here’ She used to say to me not a word, not a word Judas on the ceiling the Devil in my bed I guess Easter’s never coming So I’ll just wait inside my head

Like a scream but sort of silent living off my nightmares

Voices repeating me ‘Feeling threatened? We reflect your hopes and fears.’ Voices discussing me ‘Others steal your thoughts they’re not confined within your mind.’

Thought disorder Dream control Now they read my mind on the radio But where was the Garden of Eden?

I feel elated I feel depressed Sex is death, Death is sex Says it right here on my Crucifix

Like a scream but sort of silent living off my nightmares

Voices protecting me ‘Good behavior brings the Savior to his knees.’ Voices rejecting me ‘Others steal your thoughts they’re not confined to your own mind.’

“I don’t wanna be here, ‘cause of my suffering, ‘cause of my illness. Only love is worth having, only love is what matters, loving every people on equal terms. ” “You’ve got to know who you’re dealin’ with because, like a stranger, a-heh, just might come in through here with a gun… and then, what would you do? (Heh.)” “Everything is immaterial…” ”’n’ you know that reality is immaterial.” “This is not reality…”

I’m kneeling on the floor staring at the wall like the spider in the window I wish that I could speak Is there fantasy in refuge? God in politicians? Should I turn on my religion? These demons in my head tell me to

I’m lying here in bed Swear my skin is inside out Just another Sunday morning

Seen my diary on the newsstand Seems we’ve lost the truth to quicksand It’s a shame no one is praying ‘Cause these voices in my head keep saying…

‘Love, just don’t stare.’ ‘Reveal the Word when you’re supposed to’ Withdrawn and introverted Infectiously perverted ‘Being laughed at and confused keeps us pleasantly amused enough to stay.’

Maybe I’m just Cassandra fleeting Twentieth century Icon bleeding Willing to risk Salvation to escape from isolation

I’m witness to redemption heard you speak but never listened Can you rid me of my secrets? Deliver us from Darkness?

Voices repeating me ‘Feeling threatened? We reflect your hopes and fears.’ Voices discussing me Don’t expect your own Messiah This netherworld which you desire is only in your mind.

Wake Me up Inside – By Evanessence

Lyrics

How can you see into my eyes Like open doors? Lading you down into my core, Where I’ve become so numb.

Without a soul, My spirit’s sleeping somewhere cold, Until you find it there and lead it back Home.

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside. (I can’t wake up) Wake me up inside. (Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark. (Wake me up) Bid my blood to run. (I can’t wake up) Before I come undone. (Save me) Save me from the nothing I’ve become.

Now that I know what I’m without, You can’t just leave me. Breathe into me and make me real. Bring me to life.

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside. (I can’t wake up) Wake me up inside. (Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark. (Wake me up) Bid my blood to run. (I can’t wake up) Before I come undone. (Save me) Save me from the nothing I’ve become.

Bring me to life. (I’ve been living a lie. There’s nothing inside) Bring me to life.

Frozen inside without your touch, Without your love, darling. Only you are the life among the dead.

(All of this sight, I can’t believe I couldn’t see Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me) I’ve been sleeping a 1000 years it seems. I’ve got to open my eyes to everything. (Without a thought Without a voice Without a soul Don’t let me die here. There must be something more). Bring me to life.

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside. (I can’t wake up) Wake me up inside. (Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark. (Wake me up) Bid my blood to run. (I can’t wake up) Before I come undone. (Save me) Save me from the nothing I’ve become.

Bring me to life. (I’ve been living a lie. There’s nothing inside) Bring me to life

Whispers in the Dark ~ Skillet
( with a nice Amv thats better than the actually music video)

[ x 2 ]
Despite the lies that you’re making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is
Just waiting
To turn your tears to roses

I will be the one that’s gonna hold you
I will be the one that you run to
My love is
A burning, consuming fire

[Chorus:]
No
You’ll never be alone
When darkness comes I’ll light the night with stars
Hear the whispers in the dark
No
You’ll never be alone
When darkness comes you know I’m never far
Hear the whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark

You feel so lonely and ragged
You lay here broken and naked
My love is
Just waiting
To clothe you in crimson roses

I will be the one that’s gonna find you
I will be the one that’s gonna guide you
My love is
A burning, consuming fire

[Chorus x 2]

Whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark

I’ll take a nicotine, caffine, sugar fix
Jesus don’t ya git tired of turnin’ tricks
But when your innocence dies
You’ll find the blues
Seems all our heroes were born to lose
Just walkin’ through time
You believe this heat
Another empty house another dead end street
Gonna rest my bones an sit for a spell
This side of heaven this close to Hell

Right next door to hell
Why don’t you write a letter to me yeah
I said I’m right next door to hell
An so many eyes are on me
Right next door to hell
I got nowhere else to be
Right next door to hell
Feels like the walls are closing in on me

My mamma never really said much to me
She was much too young and scared ta be
Hell “Freud” might say that’s what I need
But all I really ever get is greed
An most my friends they feel the same
Hell we don’t even have ourselves to blame
But times are hard and thrills are cheaper
As your arms get shorter
Your pockets get deeper

Right next door to hell
Why don’t you write a letter to me yeah
I said I’m right next door to hell
An so many eyes are on me
Right next door to hell
I never thought this is where I’d be
Right next door to hell
Thinkin’ time’ll stand still for me

Fuck you
Bitch

Not bad kids just stupid ones
Yeah we thought we’d own the world
An gettin’ used was havin’ fun
I said we’re not sad kids just lucid ones yeah
Flowin’ through life not collectin’ anyone
So much out there
Still so much to see
Time’s too much to handle
Time’s too much for me
It drives me up the walls
Drives me out of my mind
Can you tell me what this means…huh?

Loaded like a freight train
Flyin’ like an aeroplane
Feelin’ like a space brain
One more time tonight
Well I’m a west coast struttin’
One bad mother
Got a rattlesnake suitcase
Under my arm
Said I’m a mean machine
Been drinkin’ gasoline
And honey you can make my motor hum
Well I got one chance left
In a nine live cat
I got a dog eat dog sly smile
I got a Molotov cocktail with a match to go
I smoke my cigarette with style
An I can tell you honey
You can make my money tonight

Wake up late honey put on your clothes
Take your credit card to the liquor store
That’s one for you and two for me by tonight
I’ll be loaded like a freight train
Flyin’ like an aeroplane
Feelin’ like a space brain

one more time tonight
I’m on the nightrain
Bottoms up
I’m on the nightrain
Fill my cup
I’m on the nightrain
Ready to crash and burn
I never learn
I’m on the nightrain
I love that stuff
I’m on the nightrain
I can never get enough
I’m on the nightrain
Never to return – no

Loaded like a freight train
Flyin’ like an aeroplane
Speedin’ like a space brain
One more time tonight

I’m on the nightrain
And I’m lookin’ for some
I’m on the nightrain
So’s I can leave this slum
I’m on the nightrain
And I’m ready to crash an’ burn
Nightrain
Bottoms up
I’m on the nightrain
Fill my cup
I’m on the nightrain

Whoa yeah
I’m on the nightrain
Love that stuff
I’m on the nightrain
An I can never get enough
Ridin’ the nightrain
I guess I
I guess, I guess, I guess I never learn

On the nightrain
Float me home
Ooh I’m on the nightrain
Ridin’ the nightrain
Never to return
Nightrain

Schism – Tool

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering. Fundamental differing.
Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
We cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication.

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame it doesn’t mean I don’t desire to
Point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over.
To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication

The poetry that comes from the squaring off between,
And the circling is worth it.
Finding beauty in the dissonance.

There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away.
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I’ve done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication.

Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any
Sense of compassion
Between supposed lovers/brothers

Fire for the People – Blue Scholars

LYRICS
Now what I spit, it’s medicine for the sick;
An attempt to get a grip before it all starts to slip;
And be the call and response from the bottomless pit,
I remain nonchalant when the drama gets thick;
The last call, ballin’ up my palm in a fist;
The most common misperception is this:
Drop a tape, rock a show, sign a line, hit the road;
Hit some hoes, videos,
Next you know, you’ll be ballin’ and shit;
But you’ll be callin’ it quits,
When all the cards start to fall in a ditch;
‘Cuz temptation is so hard to resist.
Well, there’s no such thing as an unjustified existence,
Except perhaps a few thousand rappers in this business;
Finish what I start, scientifically, strategically,
Specifically addressin’ the oblivion we livin’ it;
My brethren and ‘sisteren,’
I’m speakin’ are you listenin’?
Freedom been imprisoned by the television image,
If you let it instead, get affected by your habitat;
Ask a few questions, quit a few bad habits;
And after that, handle this,
Similar to how Xavier McDaniel did in ‘86;
But talkin’ just a little less shit,
And lately, been mindful of the babies I admit;
But at nighttime, I sit,
Serenaded by the blues of a skyline hue;
Remindin’ me of a time when the old was new, and I:

Spark a fire for the cold and the dark;
Peace and war both pumping soul in my heart;
And no they can’t keep what they stole from the art,
And they love to see beef, ’cuz it throws us apart;

More fire for the people
Say more jobs for the people;
And more books for the people,
And more music for the people…

As the world hurls toward 7 billion more listeners,
7 hundred plus, either killed or held prisoners;
7 thousand one hundred islands I’ve been missin’,
‘Cuz I grind 7 to 5, at night I’m writin’ scriptures;
As hot as the block gets, as cold contradictions,
Pen drips with honesty, I don’t offer fiction;
Throw the competition the bone that they try to pick with me;
And learn a model lesson in walking forward to victory;
No flag waivin’ celebratin’ your invasion;
You call it Thanksgiving,
We call it Thanks-takin’;
Everybody lookin’ for the latter not the answer to the question,
Waitin’ ‘til the cancer’s in regression;
Fresh from the Northwest,
The hottest thing lately,
Like white celebrities buyin’ black and brown babies;
Got the town crazy over beats, rhymes, and life,
Peace with adobo grease, eggs and brown rice, and I:

Spark a fire for the cold and the dark;
Peace and war both pumping soul in my heart;
And no they can’t keep what they stole from the art,
They love to see beef, ’cuz it throws us apart;

More fire for the people,
More food for the people;
More homes for the people,
More clothes for the people;
More schools for the people,
More land for the people;
More life for the people,

Yo, I’ve seen souls get sold so coldly,
See what a dollar can do, to the tired and true;
I speak boldly, composed of a melody told,
Whenever we hold, the memory close;
No telling when the reaper fed a post, and snatch a fan,
Something that you can’t capture with a camera lens;
Amalgamation of the bolo and the hammer and pen,
The truth hurts, no wonder people rather pretend;
I annihilate a fake persona for spare change,
Everybody, self included, is fair game;
Inherited the trait to make both ends meet
Often make a brother feel like he gotta compete;
But with each release I reach for peace,
Others quick to reach for the piece from here to Beacon to Beach;
‘Cuz see, freedom of speech don’t apply if you’re silent,
I shout like I’m trying to get heard on an island!

I spark a fire for the cold and the dark;
Peace and war both pumping soul in my heart;
No they can’t keep what they stole from the art,
And they love to see beef, ’cuz it throws us apart;
More fire for the people
More peace for the people
More life for the people
More love for the people
More love for the people
More love for the people
More love for the people
