Devildriver-Through The Depths :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:





Attention
You're seeking
You've asked for
It's given

Windows, broken hearts
Watching all your restarts
I wanna be around when you go down

Through the depths to the ascension
Nothing you wouldn't do for my attention
Held to the fire it's not my crime
You've pinned it on me
For the last time

So discretion
Never meant that much to me
So discretion
Your memory I'll delete

The road to hell
Is paved with good intentions
Intentions

Through the depths to the ascension
Nothing you wouldn't do for my attention
Held to the fire it's not my crime
You've pinned it on me
For the last time
For the last

You are the storm before the rain
I am the mighty tide
Holding you under the waves
Nothing lasts forever

Intention
Apprehension
You've asked for
It's given

The road to hell
Is paved with good intentions
The road to hell

Through the depths to the ascension
Nothing you wouldn't do for my attention
Held to the fire it's not my crime
You've pinned it on me, for the last

Through the depths to the ascension
There's nothing you wouldn't do for my attention
Held to the fire it's not my crime
You've pinned it on me, for the last

The raven calls your name
This life is taken away
Beneath Orion's lights
The galaxies of Gods unite
The raven calls your name
This life is taken away
Beneath Orion's lights
The galaxies of Gods unite
I wanna be around when you go down

Pantera-Walk :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:










Can't you see I'm easily bothered by persistence
One step from lashing out at you
You want in to get under my skin
And call yourself a friend
I've got more friends like you
What do I do?

Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I've been
Belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself
Stay away from me
A lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time

Respect, walk

Run your mouth when I'm not around
It's easy to achieve
You cry to weak friends that sympathize

Can you hear the violins playing your song?
Those same friends tell me your every word

Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I've been
Belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself
Stay away from me
A lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time

Respect, walk

Are you talking to me?
No way punk
Walk on home boy

Any Given Sin-Calm Before The Storm :heart:







I don't give up
I don't wave white flags
Never surrender
No quarter to be had
If I said it
That I meant it
You better believe
I'm making no apologies

I am the fire
Relentless undying survivor
I am the fire
Ready or not, seek shelter in the calm before the storm
The calm before the storm

Blowing it up
'Cause I can't hold back
Never enough
Till there's nothing left to have
Pushing the limit
Coming relentless
You better believe
I'm making no apologies

I am the fire
Relentless undying survivor
I am the fire
Ready or not, seek shelter in the calm before the storm

(All my life)
The calm before the storm
(All my life)
(All my life)

Wake me up when I'm done yeah
If it's not impossible yeah
Wake me up when I'm done yeah
If it's not impossible
I must be unstoppable

Judge me by the enemies I've made
Trust me, some days gonna come someday
No regrets 'cause I don't hesitate
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain
But we gotta play, gotta play the game

(We gotta play, we gotta play, we gotta play, we gotta play)

I am the fire
Relentless undying survivor
I am the fire
Ready or not, seek shelter in the calm before the storm
The calm before the storm
Seek shelter in the calm before the storm​

After The Burial-Death Keeps Us From Living :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:










I've been through hell
The familiar feeling
The bitter taste
Polluted smell
Vile beatings
Vitals meeting in silence
Pull me down into the depths with the wicked
Coal and bone surrounding
I see the ice upon my breath

I won't fear for nothing as nothing awaits
Everyday is a beating that I can take
Internal bleeding
Surface remains clean
Suffering
Suffering
We abandon

Unearth the saints of
Struggle
Through the lows of the grieving
Tunnel
The light never finds it's direction
Death keeps us from living
Buried with these scars
It tears us apart
Inhale the burn of drifting embers
Of the distant pyres we remember
Death keeps us from living
Buried with these scars
It tears us apart
Nothing can save you from this pain
Nobody can save you from
Nobody can save you from this pain
We offer full embrace, suffering

Worn memorials
(Wretched)
Lost souls
(Hopeless)
Our time
Slips through the fault lines
Rise and Fall
In the woes of repetition

Oblivion

We carry ghosts
The godless head
Of pure despair
Gripped by the throat
Release me from
This curse I abandoned
I abandoned

We are the saints of
Struggle
Through the lows and the grieving
Tunnel
Where the light never finds it's direction
Death keeps us from living
Buried with these scars
It tears us apart

Inhale the burn of drifting embers
Of the distant pyres we remember
Death keeps us from living
Buried with these scars
It tears us apart

Nothing can save you from this pain
Nobody can save you from this pain
We offer full embrace, suffering

Death keeps us from living
(Suffering)
Death keeps us from living
(Suffering)
Death keeps us from living
Buried with these scars
It tears us apart

You have become the voice in my head
Only recourse we're left after death
Your viscera welcome me in, welcome me in
My life is torn, my bones, they bleed
My metaphors fall short in the end
Your flesh and bone welcome me in, welcome me in
Are you in pain like I am?

Make Them Suffer-Ghost Of Me :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:










See you when you hit the bottom
You think a mother's ever been so proud?
A falling wretch, they clipped your wings
Heaven sent from the burning clouds

You know my face, remember me
When everybody has forgotten you
Once all your friends have left, you'll see
That it gets lonely at the bottom too
Sinking deeper yet, pull me from the depths
Please hold me close, never let go
We're going down, down, down
(Wе're going down, down, down)

(Do you really want to hurt me now?)

But if I'm gonna stay
Would you noticе?
We're falling out of place
We're so hopeless

You know my face, remember me
When everybody has forgotten you
Once all your friends have left, you'll see
That it gets lonely at the bottom too
Cry yourself
To death upon your bed of broken crowns
Once placed upon you
Find yourself
Or run and hide beneath your self-made hell

But if I'm gonna stay
Would you notice?
We're falling out of place
We're so hopeless
We gave in (we gave out)
We gave up (we gave up)
We gave up everything we had
It's all about to break

Do you really want to hurt me now?
Do you realize that you hate yourself?
Can't be you, it's everybody else
Can't be you, it's everybody else
So you really want to hurt me now?
We both know it's 'cause you hate yourself
Can't be you, it's everybody else (can't be you, it's everybody)
Abandon the ghost of me
The ghost of me
But I don't want to stay
Do you really want to hurt me now? (hurt me now?)
Do you really want to break me down? (break me down?)
Do you really want to hate yourself? (hate yourself?)
Do you really want to put me out? (put me out?)

See you when you hit the bottom
You know my face, remember me
The ghost of me becomes a part of you

Veil Of Maya-Red Fur :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:









Are we just chained to
A life that's been lived before
It liberates you
So you keep wanting more

We're retracing
Every step while we're taking
Steps back

Are you happy now
That I'm bleeding?
Are you better now?
The webs keep weaving

Each step back
I will not rest these eyes
Until I breach the other side
Until I breach the other side

There will be an end to witness
There's nothing that will make a difference
Is there even life for us out there (for us out there)

Are you happy now
That I'm bleeding?
Are you better now?
The webs keep weaving

When the panic starts to die
That's when everything's alright
When the panic starts to die
Suffer

No one earned their place
Thrown here by mistake
'Til they meet their grave
Leave their debt to pay
Suffer

Feeding on their ignorance
With a smile on your face as you cash out
Tearing down the monuments
Tearing down the monuments, now

(Are you happy now?)
(Are you happy now?)

Are you happy now
That I'm bleeding?
Are you better now?
The webs keep weaving

Suffer

Amity Affliction-It's Hell Down Here 💯











Is it heaven up there?
Because it's hell down here
Is it heaven up there?
Because it's hell down here

I can feel you writhe
I feel the tears, well in your eyes
Streaming down your face
You haven't seen the sun in days

Your breaking heart, your daily tears
I'm watching you in slow motion
A broken dream, a deathly calm
There's nothing on the horizon

I can feel your fears
And I can taste your tears
Is it heaven up there?
Because it's hell down here (hell down here)
I can see your sorrow
I hope there's no tomorrow
Is it heaven up there?
Because it's hell down here (hell down here)

Like a snake, I tire
The cold dark clouds, they steal my light (my light)
You're so distant now
A world away, I'm winding down

Your breaking heart, your daily tears
I'm watching you in slow motion
A broken dream, a deathly calm
There's nothing on the horizon

I can feel your fears
And I can taste your tears
Is it heaven up there?
Because it's hell down here (hell down here)
I can see your sorrow
I hope there's no tomorrow
Is it heaven up there?
Because it's hell down here (hell down here)

No more sunlight
No more dead ends
No more heartbreak
No more dead friends, oh

Oh, no more sunlight

No more dead ends
No more heartbreak
No more dead friends

I can feel your fears
And I can taste your tears
Is it heaven up there?
Because it's hell down here (hell down here)
I can see your sorrow
I hope there's no tomorrow
Is it heaven up there?
Because it's hell down here

Epica-Memory :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:

Just remembering when times were better. ;-;










Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember
The time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Every street lamp
Seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters at the street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
A street lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning

Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with my memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is
Look a new day has begun​
