Appropriate lyrics

[Requiem of Forgotten Lore]

I'm really not into CoF - I'm an Opeth fan myself - but I've listened to quite a bit of their music (which is still far better than the stuff on the "pop" radio nowadays IMO), but I'd figure that some of their lyrics would be apropos for those that hate the living (Underworld and the like) or hate Creation (Infernals and their ilk).

 

[Persell]

I was just listening to The slip while I was cooling down from a run. (I know. Nine inch Nails is my cool down music. I'm messed up.) I thougt of how some siderials may have felt while they watched the Usurpation and the death of the Solars.


Lights in the Sky

She's mostly gone
Some other place


I'm getting by


In other ways


Everything they whispered in our ear


Is coming true


Try to justify the things


I used to do


Believe in you


Watching you drown


I'll follow you down


And I am here right beside you


The lights in the sky


Have finally arrived


I am staying right beside you


I tried to stay away


You know


Just in case


I've come to realize


We all have our place


Time has a way you know


To make it clear


I have my role in this


I can't disappear


Or leave you here


Watching you drown


I'll follow you down


And I am here right beside you


The lights in the sky


Are waving goodbye


I am staying right beside you

 

[Lord Kamina]

This song sort of reminds me of the Dragon Blooded...

Here our soldiers stand from all around the world


Waiting in a line to hear the battle cry


All are gathered here victory is near


The sound will fill the hall bringing power to us all


We alone are fighting for metal that is true


We own the right to live the fight we're here for all of you


Now swear the blood upon your steel will never dry


Stand and fight together beneath the metal sky


Brothers Everywhere


Raise you hands into the air


We're warriors


Warriors of The World


Like thunder from the sky


Sworn to fight and die


We're warriors


Warriors of The World


Many stand against us but they will never win


We said we would return and here we are again


To bring them all destruction suffering and pain


We are the hammer of the Gods we are thunder wind and rain


There they wait in fear with swords in feeble hands


With dreams to be a King first one should be a man


I call them out and charge them all with a life that is a lie


And in their final hour they shell confess before they die


Brothers Everywhere


Raise you hands into the air


We're warriors


Warriors of The World


Like thunder from the sky


Sworn to fight and die


We're warriors


Warriors of The World


If i should fall in battle my brothers who fight by my side


Gather my horse and weapons tell my family how i died


Until then i will be strong I will fight for all that is real


All who stand in my way will die by steel


Brothers Everywhere


Raise you hands into the air


We're warriors


Warriors of The World

 

[Ker'ion]

A Sidereal trying to get past his mandated death date:

There's no time for us,
There's no place for us,


What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away from us.


Who wants to live forever,


Who wants to live forever.....?


There's no chance for us,


It's all decided for us,


This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us.


Who wants to live forever,


Who dares to love forever,


When love must die.


But touch my tears with your lips,


Touch my world with your fingertips,


And we can have forever,


And we can love forever,


Forever is our today,


Who wants to live forever,


Who wants to live forever,


Forever is our today,


Who waits forever anyway?

 

[Persell]

An all-around general theme for Creation in the Second Age:

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams


Been haunted by a million screams


But I can hear the marching feet


Moving into the street


Now did you read the news today?


They say the danger's gone away.


But I can see the fires still alight


Burning into the night


There's too many men, too many people


Making too many problems


And there's not much love to go around


Can't you see this is the land of confusion.


This is the world we live in


And these are the hands we're given


Use them and let's start trying


To make it a place worth living in.


Ah Superman, where are you now?


When everything's gone wrong somehow


The men of steel, these men of power


Are losing control by the hour


And this is the time, this is the place


So we look for the future


But there's not much love to go around


Tell me why this is the land of confusion


This is the world we live in


And these are the hands we're given


Use them and let's start trying


To make it a place worth living in


I remember long ago


When the sun was shining


And all the stars were bright


All through the night


In the wake of this madness


As I held you tight


So long ago


I won't be coming home tonight


My generation will put it right


We're not just making promises


That we know we'll never keep


There's too many men


Too many people


Making too many problems


And there's not much love to go around


Can't you see this is the land of confusion


Now this is the world we live in


And these are the hands we're given


Use them and let's start trying


To make it a place worth fighting for


Now this is the world we live in


And these are the names we're given


Stand up and let's start showing


Just where our lives are going to

I haven't seen these ones posted yet, and I think they're rather jaunty tunes for an Abyssal.


Intermission, By Scissor Sisters


When you're standing on the side of a hill


Feeling like you did to be done


Here it comes


A strawberry spot


Chasing away the sun


Don't let those precious moments fool you


Happiness is getting you down


A rainbow never smiles a place


It's just a candy coloured frown


You were going on at half past seven


Now it's going on a quarter to nine


All the angels want to know


Are you lost or treading water


And you're going on your fifteenth bender


But you've only got a matter of time


Yes we've all got seeds to sow


Not everyone's got lambs to slaughter


When the night wind starts to turn


Into the ocean breeze


And the dew drops sting and burn


Like angry honey bees


That is when you'll hear this song


Falling from the sky


Whoa, happiness today to all


We were born to die


Sometimes you're filled with the notion


The afterlife's a moment away


You want to tell someone the way that you feel


But then you ain't got nothin to say


You fight for freedom from devotion


A battle that'll always begin


But somebody giving you piece of advice


By the way you're living in sin


Now there's never gonna be an intermission


But there'll always be a closing night


Never entertain those visions


Lest you may have packed your baggage


First impressions are cheap auditions


Situations are long goodbyes


Truths so often live in doormen


Good luck walks and bullshit flies out


Deathly headlights guide your way


You know the place is right


When the treetops sing and sway


Don't go to sleep tonight


That is when you'll see the sign


Luminous and high


Whoa, tomorrow's not what it used to be


We were born to die


Whoa, happiness today to all


We were born to die!


Lyrics to I Can't Decide :


It's not easy having yourself a good time


Greasing up those bets and betters


Watching out they don't four-letter


Fuck and kiss you both at the same time


Smells-like something I've forgotten


Curled up died and now it's rotten


I'm not a gangster tonight


Don't want to be a bad guy


I'm just a loner baby


And now you're gotten in my way


I can't decide


Whether you should live or die


Oh, you'll probably go to heaven


Please don't hang your head and cry


No wonder why


My heart feels dead inside


It's cold and hard and petrified


Lock the doors and close the blinds


We're going for a ride


It's a bitch convincing people to like you


If I stop now call me a quitter


If lies were cats you'd be a litter


Pleasing everyone isn't like you


Dancing jigs until I'm crippled


Slug ten drinks I won't get pickled


I've got to hand it to you


You've played by all the same rules


It takes the truth to fool me


And now you've made me angry


I can't decide


Whether you should live or die


Oh, you'll probably go to heaven


Please don't hang your head and cry


No wonder why


My heart feels dead inside


It's cold and hard and petrified


Lock the doors and close the blinds


We're going for a ride


Oh I could throw you in the lake


Or feed you poisoned birthday cake


I wont deny I'm gonna miss you when you're gone


Oh I could bury you alive


But you might crawl out with a knife


And kill me when I'm sleeping


That's why


I can't decide


Whether you should live or die


Oh, you'll probably go to heaven


Please don't hang your head and cry


No wonder why


My heart feels dead inside


It's cold and hard and petrified


Lock the doors and close the blinds


We're going for a ride!


cheers

And this one is really appropros for Solars, I should know because it started playing right when i did something over the top and cool to kill some monster, and came up outta the ground glowing like the sun with it writhing and burning and dieing behind me.


Number One, from the Bleach anime soundtrack:


If you wanna see some action


Gotta be the centre of attraction


Make sure that they got their eyes on you, like the face that you see on every magazine


Be the focus of attention


Be the name that every one must mention


Come out from the shadows, it's your time, cos tonight is the night for everyone to see


It�s natural


You know that this is where you gotta be, it must be your destiny


Sensational


And you believe that, this is what you've waited for and it's you that they all adore, so baby


Now you feel like number one


Shining bright for everyone


Living out your fantasy, the


Brightest star for all to see


Now you feel like number one


Shining bright for everyone


Living out your fantasy, you're the


Brightest star there's ever been


Feel the heat that's all around you


Flashing lights and ecstasy surround you


Everybody wants a piece of you; you're the queen of the scene, living in a dream


It�s natural


You know that this is where you gotta be, it must be your destiny


Sensational


And you believe that, this is what you've waited for and it's you that they all adore


Now you feel like number one


Shining bright for everyone


Living out your fantasy, the


Brightest star for all to see


This is what you've waited for and it's you that they all adore


Now you feel like number one


Shining bright for everyone


Living out your fantasy, the


Brightest star for all to see


Now you feel like number one


Shining bright for everyone


Living out your fantasy, you're the


Brightest star there's ever been.

Sorry guys, but its my turn to practice some thread-necromancy now!


Just drooling over the idea of how well the lyrics to "All Hail Brittania!" from Code Geass could fit the Realm. All you really need is to change the Empress' gender and ignore the fact it uses the word "Brittania".

Truth and hope in our Fatherland!
And death to every foe!


Our soldiers shall not pause to rest


We vow our loyalty


Old traditions they will abide


Arise young heroes!


Our past inspires noble deeds


All Hail Britannia!


Immortal beacon shows the way


Step forth, seek glory!


Hoist your swords high into the clouds


Hail Britannia!


Our Emperor stands astride this world


He'll vanquish every foe!


His truth and justice shine so bright


All hail his brilliant light!


Never will he be overthrown


Like mountains and sea


His bloodline immortal and pure


All Hail Britannia!


So let his wisdom guide our way


Go forth and seek glory


Hoist your swords high into the clouds


Hail Britannia!

As long as we're posting things, I'm surprised this hasn't been put up for Lover Clad In Raiment of Tears.

I'm so tired


Of playing


Playing with this bow and arrow


Gonna give my heart away


Leave it to the other girls to play


For I've been a tempteress too long


Yes


Give me a reason to love you


Give me a reason to be


A woman


I just wanna be a woman


From this time


Unchained


We're all looking at a different picture


From this new frame of mind


A thousand flowers could bloom


Move over annd give us


some room, yeah


Give me a reason to love you


Give me a reason to be


A woman


I just wanna be a woman


So don't you stop


Being a man


Just take a little look


From outside when you can


Sow a little tenderness


No matter if you cry


Give me a reason to love you


Give me a reason to be


A woman


I just wana be a woman


'Cause that's all I wanna be


is a woman


For this is a beginning of forever


and ever


It's time to move over...


'Cause it's all I wanna be


I'm so tired


of playing


Playing with this bow and arrow


Gonna give my heart away


leave it to the other girls to play...


For I've been a tempteress


Too long


Just give me a reason to love you


Give me a reason to be...

 

[Alabaster Anathema]

Glory box huh....awesome

 

[chalicier]

Funny someone mentioned Manowar a while back, as I simply cannot even think about Dawn Castes without this song kicking off in my head:

When they see us they will run for their lives


To the end they will pay for their lies


So long did we wait - now we are home


Here once again there's a battle to fight


Gather together for the sound and the might


So long did we wait - now we are home


Now we will fight for the kingdom, fighting with steel


Kill all of them, their blood is our seal


Fight till the last of the enemy is dead


Ride through their blood that we gladly have shed


I now issue the call: are you ready to fight? - "Yeah!"


Fight altogether as one for the right


To be free once again, tonight we will win


I can see by the look that you have in your eyes


You came here for Metal, to fight and to die


Defenders of steel, now we are home


Fight for the kingdom bound for glory


Armed with a heart of steel


I swear by the brothers who stand before me:


To no man shall I kneel


Then blood is upon my steel


Blood is upon my steel


[solo]


Fight for the kingdom, fighting with steel


Kill all of them, their blood is our seal


Fight till the last of the enemy is dead


Ride through their blood that we gladly have shed


I now issue the call: are you ready to fight? - "Yeah!"


Fight altogether as one for the right


To be free once again, tonight we will win


I can see by the look that you have in your eyes


You came here for Metal, to fight and to die


Defenders of steel, now we are home


Fight for the kingdom bound for glory


Armed with a heart of steel


I swear by the brothers who stand before me:


To no man shall I kneel


Then blood is upon my steel


Blood is upon my steel

Also, regarding True Faith by New Order, I ran off and played it again (for the first time in about 10 years or so) and it's still awesome even now. Fantastic song. Thinking of it in combination with Exalted gave me an image of a scenario where a desperate Chejop Kejak finally resorting to calling on the returned Solars after all his plots and schemes to prevent the Reclamation ultimately fail.

 

[vegetalss4]

another one from Manowar,


this time about a Slayer Caste Infernal


King of Kings

Voices of Victory
All Shout and proclaim


The Kingdom of Glory is mine


The Raise of the will our prophecy filled


I'm the lord of the day and the night


I've nothing to sell but the power of hell


My Armies of fire awaits


I'm here to be paid for the pact that was made


My payment can never be late


Crack the Earth, Gods of Thunder


Man and beast will be torn asunder


Into the Fight I own the right


To be the King of kings


My Enemies rise and look to the skies


They Pray I will never appear


The Life has no meaning


Awake they are dreaming


They live in a castle of fear


I summon the demons that live in the wind


As my Chariot drives in the Storm


With the hot blood of Battle


I wait in my saddle


I live and I'll die by the sword


Crack the Earth, Gods of Thunder


Man and beast will be torn asunder


Into the Fight I own the right


To be the King of kings


All the days of his live


He walked without fear


All who's lives he touched


Were made better for knowing him


As he returned goodness with good


So true is justice and retribution were unfailing


As my sword is my soul


Then let all who stand before me know


I bring a storm and Magic wind


The Kingdom of the Kings..


I summon the demons that live in the wind


As my Chariot drives in the Storm


With the hot blood of Battle


I wait in my saddle


I live and I'll die by the sword


Crack the Earth, Gods of Thunder


Man and beast will be torn asunder


Into the Fight I own the right


To be the King of kings


Crack the Earth, Gods of Thunder


Man and beast will be torn asunder


Into the Fight I own the right


To be the King of kings


Crack the Earth, Gods of Thunder


Man and beast will be torn asunder


Into the Fight I own the right


To be the King of kings


King of kings!!!


King of kings!!!


King ...


Of Kings!

the one about justice would be him remembering his first age incarnation

 

[Fabricati]

Well, here's one for the theme of Reconstruction and occasional Helplessness so prevalent in Solar games:

I hold my head up just enough to see the sky
And when we go we won't go slow we'll put up such a fight


When they fade into the dust and into ash


But all the children know for sure this pain will surely pass


Strong and wise and you are love


And when the tide it comes you will float above of


And you will be one day exactly what you are


Just keep your head held high


Kiss your fist and touch the sky


Too late to keep the world from dying -it's not


Too late to spread the love you have


One day when we are ready for crying


One day I know that we'll be there little girl


Too late


The sound we hear it is our hearts they are in time


They're marching clear and swift the beat forever in our minds


It gives us hope, it gives us strength, you know, to carry on


Keep fighting till the end and past the end you will be strong


Too late to keep the world from dying -It's not


Too late to spread the love you share


One day, whooo hooo


We'll all be there, yeah


Yes we will
