"Barking
Here, north and nether, he's bound
And here he dwells
Snarling
At passing ghosts, though he guards
The gates of Hel"
"Their marching may grow louder than the thunder in the sky"
"They're leaving like a funeral procession on the prowl
Behind the hearse of all our hope
Their coming may forebode the end of all we once held high
Before us darkness gathers
"
"You'll take the high road,
I'll take the low road
Neither sands stay their striding,
Nor does the dark and deep blue sea
Frontlines fell (...)
Turned to stone by the sunrise
Hordes in the distance marching out
The gates of Hel"

Let's Not Chat About Despair
You, who speak of crowd control Of karma or the punishment of God: Do you fear the cages they are building In Kentucky, Tennessee and Texas While they're giving ten to forty years to find a cure?
Do you pray each evening out of horror Or of fear to the savage God Whose bloody hand Commands you now to die, alone?
Let's not chat about Despair Let's not chat about Despair

Do you taste the presence of the living dead While the skeleton beneath your open window Waits with arms outstretched? Do you spend each night in waiting For the Devil's little angels' cries To burn you in your sleep? Do you wait for miracles in small hotels With seconal and compazine Or for a ticket to the house of death in Amsterdam?
Let's not chat about Despair Let's not chat about Despair

Do you wait in prison for the dreadful day The office of the butcher comes to carry you away? Do you wait for saviours or the paradise to come in laundry rooms, in toilets, or in cadillacs? Are you crucified beneath the life machines With a shank inside your neck And a head which blossoms like a basketball?
Let's not chat about Despair Let's not chat about Despair

Do you tremble at the timid steps Of crying, smiling faces who, in mourning Now have come to pay their last respects? In Kentucky Harry buys a round of beer To celebrate the death of Billy Smith, the queer Whose mother still must hide her face in fear You who mix the words of torture, suicide and death With scotch and soda at the bar We're all real decent people, aren't we But there's no time left for talk: Let's not chat about Despair Let's not chat about Despair
Let's not chat about Despair.
Please Don't chat about Despair

A Fond Farewell by Elliott Smith

The litebrite's now black and white
Cause you took apart a picture that wasn't right
Pitch burning on a shining sheet
The only maker that you'd want to meet
The dying man in a living room
Who's shadow paces the floor
Who'll take you out in the open door
This is not my life
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
It's not what I'm like
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
Who couldn't get things right
Fond farewell to a friend
He said really I just want to dance
Good and evil matched perfect it's a great romance
I can deal with some physic pain
If it'll slow down my higher brain
Veins full of disappearing ink
Vomiting in the kitchen sink
Disconnecting from the missing link
This is not my life
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
It's not what I'm like
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
Who couldn't get things right
Fond farewell to a friend
I see you're leaving me and taking up with the enemy
The cold comfort of the in between
A little less than a human being
A little less than a happy high
A little less than a suicide
The only things that you really tried
This is not my life
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
It's not what I'm like
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
Who couldn't get things right
Fond farewell to a friend
This is not my life
It's just a fond farewell to a friend

Song: 煙 (Kemuri/Smoke)
Artist: まきちゃんぐ (Makichang)

I found this song over 7 years ago while in China through a random playlist on a Chinese music streaming service (like Spotify). It always sounded painful, yet beautiful. I never knew what the lyrics meant. I looked up the song recently after hearing it again, and learned it was from an old anime called Himitsu - Top Secret. It's about an era where an advanced brain scan method can display the memories of even dead people. This tool could be used to solve crimes, but ethical questions get raised about things like the dead's privacy, or the mental health of those who have to witness the dead's memories, or experience the feelings of a psychotic person when they were alive. Makes me think, as many possible pros or cons there are, would such a tool help people feel more empathy towards those who ctb?

"Could you ever really say that your death was a tragedy?
Is there need for sadness as the cup touches your lips?
Have you ever really been in love?"

Apparently Chris did partial, still similar enough to my method so I have to listen to this.

I Prevail-Breaking Down :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:







"Breaking Down"

I think I think too much
I'm a little bit paranoid
I think I'm breaking
Maybe it's in my blood
Got a pain that I can't avoid
I think I'm breaking down

Hate, every single second, minute, hour every day
Person in the mirror, they won't let me feel a thing
Keep me focused on my problems, I'm addicted to the pain
(Everybody's out to get you)

I guess I never noticed, how it came creepin in
My enemy emotion, but I can't sink or swim
I say I'm feeling hopeless
They give me medicine
They give me medicine
They give me medicine

I think I think too much
I'm a little bit paranoid
I think I'm breaking
Maybe it's in my blood
Got a pain that I can't avoid
I think I'm breaking
Down (I think I'm breaking)
Down (I think I'm breaking)
I think I think too much
I'm a little bit paranoid
I think I'm breaking down

Lies, every time they ask me, I just tell em that I'm fine
Try to hide my demons but they only multiply
Keep me runnin from the voices on repeat inside my mind
(Everybody fucking hates you)

I guess I never noticed, how it came creepin in
My enemy emotion, but I can't sink or swim
I say I'm feeling hopeless
But no one's listenin
But no one's listenin
But no one's listenin

I think I think too much
I'm a little bit paranoid
I think I'm breaking
Maybe it's in my blood
Got a pain that I can't avoid
I think I'm breaking
Down (I think I'm breaking)
Down (I think I'm breaking)
I think I think too much
I'm a little bit paranoid
I think I'm breaking down

I don't really like myself
I don't really like myself
I don't really like myself
I don't really like myself
I think I'm breaking down

Björk -Play Dead
Darling, stop confusing me
With your wishful thinking
Hopeful embraces
Don't you understand?
I have to go through this, I belong to here
Where no one cares and no one loves
No light, no air to live in
A place called Hate, The City of Fear
I play dead, it stops the hurting
I play dead and the hurt stops
It's sometimes just like sleeping
Curling up inside my private tortures
I nestle into pain…

In Flames-My Sweet Shadow :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:






"My Sweet Shadow"

I'm selling heavenly sketches
A world out of my mind
Ready to explode in purity to fill the holes inside

An ever moving stream with glowing rays of light
Emotions tied to pass lies and I know I should let go

Tamed with confidence of a brighter future

I found a flame in the burnt out ashes... burn out, burn out!

Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more

Another dawn collapses
Do I need to be reminded
A glimpse of my safe home
A path to hide all anger

I found a flame in the burnt out ashes... burn out, burn out!

Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more

In circles I catch
A torch carried by the immortal
From depths that I created
In vain echoes fade

Burn out!

Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more

Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more

Fueled, Dark past lies cold
For you I look no more

Dead's surely one of the best black metal vocalist. His voice is just as his life - full of suffering and pain.
