Greatest Lyricists

μουζ είσαι θεούλης…

?O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride.?

Just a babe in a black abyss,
No reason for a place like this.
The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain.
An easy way for the blind to go,
A clever path for the fools who know.
The Secret of the Hangman * the smile on his lips.
The light of the Blind * you?ll see,
The venom that tears my spine,
The Eyes of the Nile are opening * you?ll see.

She came to me with a serpents kiss,
As the Eye of the Sun rose on her lips.
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry.
So we lay in a black embrace,
And the Seed is sown in a holy place,
And I watched and I waited for the Dawn.

The light of the Blind * you?ll see,
The venom that tears my spine,
The Eyes of the Nile are opening * you?ll see.

Bind us all together,
Ablaze with Hope and Free.
No storm or heavy weather,
Will rock the boat you?ll see.
The time has come to close your eyes,
And still the wind and rain.
For the one who will be King,
Is the watcher in the Ring.
It is You.

Prince - Sign O’ the times

Oh yeah
In france a skinny man
Died of a big disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle
And soon she did the same
At home there are seventeen-year-old boys
And their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called the disciples
High on crack, totin a machine gun

Time, time

Hurricane annie ripped the ceiling of a church
And killed everyone inside
U turn on the telly and every other story
Is tellin u somebody died
Sister killed her baby cuz she could afford 2 feed it
And were sending people 2 the moon
In september my cousin tried reefer 4 the very first time
Now hes doing horse, its june

Times, times

Its silly, no?
When a rocket ship explodes
And everybody still wants 2 fly
Some say a man aint happy
Unless a man truly dies
Oh why
Time, time

Baby make a speech, star wars fly
Neighbors just shine it on
But if a night falls and a bomb falls
Will anybody see the dawn
Time, times

Its silly, no?
When a rocket blows
And everybody still wants 2 fly
Some say a man aint happy, truly
Until a man truly dies
Oh why, oh why, sign o the times

Time, time

Sign o the times mess with your mind
Hurry before its 2 late
Lets fall in love, get married, have a baby
Well call him nate… if its a boy

Time, time

βάλτε μέσα στη λίστα και Marvin Graye,όπως και Nine Inch Nails.

Sign of the Cross(Steve Harris)

Eleven saintly shrouded men
Silhouettes stand against the sky
One in front with a cross held high
Come to wash my sins away

Standing alone in the wind and rain
Feeling the fear that is growing
Sensing the change in the tide again
Brought by the storm that is brewing
Feel the anxiety hold off the fear
Some of the doubts in the things you believe
Now that your faith will be put to the test
Nothing to do but await what is coming

Why then is god still protecting me
Even when I don’t deserve it
Thought I am blessed with an inner strength
Some they would call it a penance
Why am I meant to face this alone
Asking the question time and again
Praying to god won’t keep me alive
Inside my head feel the fear start to rise…

They’ll be saying their prayers when the moment comes
There’ll be penace to pay when it’s judgement day
And the guilty’ll bleed when that moment comes
They’ll be coming to claim, take your soul away

The sign of the cross
The name of the rose, a fire in the sky
The sign of the cross

They’ll be coming to bring the eternal flame
They’ll be bringing us all immortality
Holding communion so the world be blessed
My creator, my god’ll lay my soul to rest

The sign of the cross
The name of the rose, a fire in the sky
The sign of the cross

Lost the love of father above
Chose the lust of the earth below
Eleven saintly shrouded men
Came to wash my sins away

“I See Your Face” (3:17)

Coming back today, the pounding thoughts relay
It’s a time that’s for myself
I’m laying low, strife is gaining slow
A kind of anguish I don’t need

When I see your frown, hurt will put me down
If I could see a light shining
Is this borrowed time, maybe a final time
That I can see a light shining

Will you make it slow, pure evil makes it slow
I know you’re brandishing the sign
Dare I take a chance in this circumstance?
Or will I leave without a hope

When you seal my fate, sorrow turns to hate
If I could see a light shining
Is this borrowed time, maybe a final time
That I could see a light shining

What one man makes is there for one to take
A single handed fall from grace
Heart’s beating fast, beating till the last
A draining feeling’s all that I know

When I see your frown, it becomes my frown
If I could see a light shining
Is this borrowed time, maybe a final time
That I could see a light shining

See a light shining…

Πάω στοίχημα ότι ο Χάρης θα έχει τουλάχιστον 5 άγνωστες λέξεις στο παραπάνω

Ετσι για να γουσταρουμε… 8)

Its snowing outside the rumbling sound
Of engines roar in the night
The mission is near the confident men
Are waiting to drop from the sky

The blizzard goes on but still they must fly
No one should go where eagles dare
Bavarian alps that lay all around
They seem to stare from below
The enemy lines a long time passed
Are lying deep in the snow

Into the night they fall through the sky
No one should fly where eagles dare

Theyre closing in the fortress is near
Its standing high in the sky
The cable cars the only way in
Its really impossible to climb

They make their way but maybe too late
Theyve got to try to save the day

The panicking cries the roaring of guns
Are echoing all round the valley
The mission complete the make to escape
Away from the eagles nest

They dared to go where no one would try
They chose to fly where eagles dare

Everywhere I go I see people staring at me
It makes me feel so strange
why won’t they just leave me be
So take a look in the mirror
and maybe you’ll see all the things that happened
while you were looking at me

Am I really so different
In the Eyes of the world
you are no different to me
In the Eyes of the world
is it so hard to see now

Everything we do is running to the sand
And who is to take the food away
from the children’s hand
We all could be friends now
and it’s not a crime
But we have to be quick now
because we don’t have much time

Are we really so different
In the Eyes of the world
you are no different to me
In the Eyes of the world
is it so hard to see now
