Gods Of War

12-12-2008

When I was younger I thought
That to kill or be killed
Was a thing to be proud of
Victim of change
Prisoner of hope,
hanged by the neck
On the end of a rope
I don't know... I don't care...

Oh, one of the damned
Oh, part of then plan
Cry oh oh oh the gods of war
They mowl and cry for more
Cry oh oh oh the gods of war
They mowl and cry for more

Now taking both sides at a time
On the front line
You can join in the fear
Share in the bloodshed
Investing your money in guns
The infinite fun
Of the warlord you saved
From the rusty grave

Oh, one of the damned
Oh, part of plan

Bruce Dickinson

Old People On The Sun

10-12-2008

"Is Florida not hot and muggy enough for these people? They love heat. I mean if they ever decide to land men on the sun, I think these old retired guys would be the only ones that will be able to handle it. They'll just sit there on the sun, on the redwood benches, washcloth on the head going: "Close the door, you're letting all the heat off the sun. I'm trying to get a sweat going."

Resurrection

09-12-2008

I`m digging deep inside my soul
To bring myself out of this God-damned hole
I rid the demons from my heart
And found the truth was with me from the start

Holy angel lift me from this burning hell
Resurrection make me whole
Son of Judas bring the saints to my revenge
Resurrection bring me home

I walked alone into a Fight
There is no bastard left to overcome
The peace of mind I thought was lost
Was right in front of me on paths I`ve crossed

Holy angel lift me from this burning hell
Resurrection make me whole
Son of Judas bring the saints to my revenge
Resurrection bring me home

I`ve faced the things I`ve said and done
There is no bastard left to overcome
The peace of mind I thought was lost
Was right in front of me on paths I`ve crossed

Kurtz: I expected someone like you. What did you expect? Are you an assassin?

Conta-me Histórias

06-12-2008

Agora que pousas a cabeça
na almofada e respiras satisfeito
quero o teu amor sem sentido nem proveito

Agora que repousas
lentamente sigo a curva do teu peito
procuro o segredo do teu cheiro

Juntos fomos correndo lado a lado
Juntos fomos sofrendo ter amado
Amas a vida
e eu amo-te a ti

Conta-me historias daquilo que eu não vi...
Conta-me historias daquilo que eu não vi...
Conta-me historias daquilo que eu não vi...
Conta-me historias daquilo que eu não vi...

Logo acordas
e pedes-me um cigarro que eu não fumo
sonho planos do futuro

Logo juntas a tua roupa
e dizes que a vida está lá fora
passou a minha hora...
passou a minha hora...

Juntos fomos correndo lado a lado
Juntos fomos sofrendo ter amado
Amas a vida
e eu amo-te a ti

Conta-me historias daquilo que eu não vi...
Conta-me historias daquilo que eu não vi...
Conta-me historias daquilo que eu não vi...
Conta-me historias daquilo que eu não vi...

You don't answer my call
With even a nod or a twitch
But you gaze at your own reflection!

But I think you can see yourself.
How can the mirror affect you?
Can you hear me
Or do I surmise
That you fear me can you feel my temper
Rise, rise, rise, rise, rise,
Rise, rise, rise, rise, rise,
Rise, rise, rise!
Do you hear or fear or
Do I smash the mirror?
Do you hear or fear or
Do I smash the mirror?

Todos nascemos iguais e da mesma maneira
Se és dos tais que pensam, viver é brincadeira
Estás enganado, tens muito que aprender
Ficas zangado com o que eu tenho para te dizer

Quero partir para outro lugar
E descobrir um sitio onde eu possa ficar
Nascer de novo começar tudo outra vez
Ser voz deste povo que por mim nada fez

Soltar estas correntes que me acorrentaram
Tirar esta mordaça com que me calaram
Gritar bem alto e dizer que está tudo errado
Não ha tempo a perder

Quero partir para outro lugar

Frozen

20-11-2008

I can't feel my senses
I just feel the cold
All colours seem to fade away
I can't reach my soul

I would stop running
If I knew there was a chance
It tears me apart to sacrifice it all
But I'm forced to let go

Tell me I'm frozen
But what can I do?
Can't tell the reasons
I did it for you

When lies turn into truth
I sacrifice for you
You say that I am frozen
But what can I do?

I can feel your sorrow
(I sacrifice)
You won't forgive me
(...)
But I know you'll be alright
(...)
It tears me apart that you will never know
But I have to let go

Tell me I'm frozen
But what can I do?
Can't tell the reasons
I did it for you

When lies turn into truth
I sacrifice for you
You say that I am frozen
But what can I do?

Everything will slip away
Shattered pieces will remain
When memories fade into emptiness
Only time will tell its tale
If it all has been in vain

I can't feel my senses
I just feel the cold

Frozen
But what can I do?
Frozen

Tell me I'm frozen
But what can I do?
Can't tell the reasons
I did it for you

When lies turn into truth
I sacrifice for you
You say that I am frozen

MORTY: Oh my God! She's gotta make a big deal out of everything.
JERRY: He offered it to me.
HELEN: Because you made such a big fuss about it.
JERRY: I liked it. Should I have said I didn't like it?
HELEN: You shouldn't have said anything. What did you expect him to do? (the camera shows Elaine shaking her head at their dispute)
JERRY: He could have said: "Thank you, I like it too" and put it back in his pocket.
HELEN: He loves that pen.
MORTY: Oh come on!
HELEN: He talks about it all the time. Every time he takes it out he goes on and on about how it writes upside down, how the astronauts use it.
JERRY: If he likes it so much, he never should have offered it.
HELEN: He didn't think you'd accept.
JERRY: Well, he was wrong.

Altered State Of Consciousness

14-11-2008

see the face, the face keeps watching me
I told to stop
but he just keeps on laughing at me
No time to think, no time to rest
I think these pills
are making my mind a mess
To ease my pain from this fucking dream
I have to ask, are you another me?
and what he says, he asks from me:
Don't you know
or are you too blind to see?

This is my life, this is my life
so why do all these
doors keep on closing me
And then it comes, another flash
There's always me
and maybe one, two, three
To ease my pain from this fucking dream
I have to ask, are you another me?
and what he says, he asks from me:
Don't you know
or are you too blind to see?

I'm ready to go, but what about me
If I close my eyes am I all alone?
I wanted to cry, but I am too weak
To leave the shadows and all behind
I wonder could this be real
Then the only thing I find is peace
....Is peace

The time is ticking,
oh the time is running out
The picture on the wall,
it's me, there is no doubt
What does these voices say?
What can they say?
There's only one thing left to say

I'm ready to go, but what about me
If I close my eyes am I all alone?
I wanted to cry, but I am too weak
To leave the shadows and all behind
I wonder could this be real
Then the only thing I find is peace
....Is peace

The Truth

11-11-2008

Speak the truth don't you dare lie to me
I've seen it all before the way you disagree
The way you always attack all the thing that you say
The way you turn your back and then you walk away
Shut your mouth and open up your eyes
You better take your time and try to realize
That no one's free from sin and when I look at you
I scream within WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
You raise yourself up to the higher degree
And look down in disguise at our misery
You're no better than your enemy
But it's easy to hate what you just can't be
Don't deny the fact that you're a mortal man
You can't escape from death when it's close at hand
Don't sit upon a pedestal and raise your voice
If you're to deaf to listen to the people choice

Truth tell me the truth the truth motherfucker
Tell me the truth
Tell me the truth
Tell me the truth the truth you sucker

You play us out and you take all us for fools
But I never understood who even made the rules
I'll make my stand against supremacy
Cos hypocritical goverments threaten me
I know you ain't blind and I know you're aware
But your ego's to big for you to even care
The doors are wide open but your eyes are closed
You're unable to look any further than your nose
You open your mouth and all I hear is lies
You keep spreading your message that I despise
Because the game you're playing is so easy to see
It's just another repeat of our history
You talk about peace it's a very strong word
It's always being said but it's never been heard
Hi-tec weapons are here to reasure it
But I've never seen a time when they've done a shit for it

Truth ....

Kick it to me now cos I just can't figure
Take a small mistake and make a small one bigger
Equality's a word have you ever even heard it
I guess not and you don't deserve it
Turning your backs on the problems that surface
I get a feeling that you're doing it on purpose
Your mind is SLIME so please resign
You can't control your own life don't try to rule mine

Truth ....

It could just take right off at any time. (Morty finally gets it. So Jerry goes on quieter) We've tried all kind of arrangments, but we can't seem to be friend when we sleep together.

To be the prince of possession, in the gallery of contempt.
Suffering your indiscrete discretions, and you ask me to relent.
As you accumulate flirtations, with the
calculated calmness of the whore.
(Of the whore)
I am the harlequin, with diamonded costume dripping shades of green,
I am the harlequin, sense strangers violate
my sanctuary, prowl my dreams.
(My dreams)
And their my dreams.
(Their my dreams!)
Plundering your diaries, I'll steal your thought's. (thoughts)
Ravaging your letters, unearth your plots. (plots)
[ Find more Lyrics at [link] ]
Innocence, innocence, innocence, innocence, innocence, innocence.
To don the robes of Torquemada, to resurrect the Inquisition,
And in that tortured subtle manner inflict questions within questions,
within questions.
Looking in shades of green through shades of blue;
I trust you trusting me to mistrust you.
Through the silk-cut haze to the smeared mascara,
A forty-watt sun on a courtroom drama.
And the coffee stains gather till the pale kimono,
Set the wedding rings dancing on the cold linoleum.
This is innocence.
And accusation's moths that circle around the light,
they char their wings in spiral senseless, suicidal flight.
You pack our world within a suitcase, hot tears melt this icy palace,
and dissolve a crystal swallowed by the night.
Looking in shades of green through shades of blue,
Looking in shades of green through shades of blue.
These shades of blue, of blue...

"I have never seen an old person in a new bathing suit... in my life. I don't know where they get their bathing suits. But my father has bathing suits from another centuries. My parents live in Florida and if you forget your bathing suit then they want you to wear one of theirs. You know how that gets? "You need truncks, son? I got trunks for you. You can wear my trunks". Fathers Don't wear bathing suits, they wear trunks. It's kind the same thing a tree would wear if it went swimming. So I get in the water in thins thing and it's like floating around me... somewhere. You ever put on a bathing suit that you don't even know exactly where you are inside the bathing suit? you bump into somebody, "No, I'm parasailing. I'm waiting for the boat to comeback"."

Far Beyond Illusion

02-10-2008

With my eyes wide open and a clear and conscious mind
The words you`ve spoken, causing me to redefine
The way I feel, the words cannot describe
I know it`s real,it`s up to me to realize

I`m running on emotions, fleeing to the light
I`m drifting on a ocean, sailinghome tonight

Are they afraid og what we see, they draw their own conclusions
this twist of fate between you and me is far beyond illusion....
...far beyond illusion

are you afraid, to tell me how you feel
can you deny, when you know the feeling`s real
is the path you`ve chosen, one you wish to lead
can you ignore the hunger, the one you know you want to feed?

I`m running on emotions, fleeing to the light
I`m drifting on a ocean, sailinghome tonight

Are they afraid og what we see, they draw their own conclusions
this twist of fate between you and me is far beyond illusion....
...far beyond illusion


Are they afraid og what we see, they draw their own conclusions
this twist of fate between you and me is far beyond illusion....
...far beyond illusion....
...far beyond illusion

With my eyes wide open, far beyond illusion
and a clear and conscious mind, far beyond illusion
The words you`ve spoken, causing me to redefine
far beyond illusion

Judgement

31-10-2008

Kurtz: I've seen horrors... horrors that you've seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that... but you have no right to judge me. It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror. Horror has a face... and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies. I remember when I was with Special Forces. Seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate the children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for Polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that. The genius. The will to do that. Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we. Because they could stand that these were not monsters. These were men... trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love... but they had the strength... the strength... to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral... and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling... without passion... without judgment... without judgment. Because it's judgment that defeats us.

Apocalypse Now

Stone Dead Forever

30-10-2008

You think you see me, in the glass
You think you hear me, you better listen fast,
I think I see you, gone to seed,
The only reasons, were your guilt and greed,
You're out there on your own,
Your face turned to stone,
Whatever happened to your life?
Stone Dead Forever
It's been a long time, been a long long wait,
And you've caught your fingers, in the Pearly Gates,
You'd better leave your number, and we'll call you,
You know your problems, ain't exactly new,
The wrong side of the fold,
Your touch has turned to gold,
Whatever happened to your life?
Stone Dead Forever

You're a financial wizard, a top tycoon,
A sweet lounge lizard, with a silver spoon,
You know you never had it, quite so good,
'Cos you didn't know, that you even could,
But the time has come to pay,
Turns out to have been a play,
Whatever happened to your life?
Stone Dead Forever

GEORGE: He gave me a wedgie.
JERRY: He got fired the next day.
ELAINE: Why do they call it a wedgie?
GEORGE: Because the underwear is pulled up from the back and ... it wedges in..
JERRY: They also have an atomic wedgie. Now the goal there is to actually get the waistband on top of the head. Very rare.
ELAINE: Boys are sick.
JERRY: Well what do girls do ?
ELAINE: We just tease some one 'til they develop an eating disorder.

Close My Eyes Forever

27-10-2008

Baby, I get so scared inside and I don't really understand
Is it love that's on my mind or is it fantasy?
Heaven, is in the palm of my hand and it's waiting here for you
What am I supposed to do with a childhood tradgedy?

If I close my eyes forever
Would it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever
Would it all remain the same?

Sometimes, its hard to hold on, so hard to hold on to my dreams
It isn't always what it seems when you're face to face with me
Like a dagger you stick me in the heart and taste the blood from my blade
And when we sleep would you shelter me in your warm and darkened grave?

If I close my eyes forever
Would it all remain unchanged?
If i close my eyes forever
Would it all remain the same?

Will you ever take me?
No I just can't take the pain
Would you ever trust me?
No I'll never feel the same (oh)


I know I've been so hard on you
I know I've told you lies
If I could have just one more wish
I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes

If I close my eyes forever
Would it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever
would it all remain the same? (Oh yeah)

Close your eyes...
Close your eyes...
You gotta close your eyes for me..........

A Little Tighter

25-10-2008

Willard: [voiceover] Saigon... shit; I'm still only in Saigon... Every time I think I'm gonna wake up back in the jungle. When I was home after my first tour, it was worse. I'd wake up and there'd be nothing. I hardly said a word to my wife, until I said "yes" to a divorce. When I was here, I wanted to be there; when I was there, all I could think of was getting back into the jungle. I'm here a week now... waiting for a mission... getting softer; every minute I stay in this room, I get weaker, and every minute Charlie squats in the bush, he gets stronger. Each time I looked around, the walls moved in a little tighter.

It Could Be Sweet

24-10-2008

I don't want to hurt you
For no reason have I but fear
And I ain't guilty of the crimes you accuse me of
But I'm guilty of fear

I'm sorry to remind
You but I'm scared of what we're creating
This life ain't fair
You don't get something for nothing, turn now
Mmmm gotta try a little harder

It could be sweet
Like a long forgotten dream
And we don't need them to cast the fate we have
Love don't always shine thru

Cos I don't wanna lose
What we had last time your leaving this life ain't fair
You don't get something for nothing, turn now
Mmmm gotta try a little harder

It could be sweet.....

But the thoughts we try to deny
Take a toll upon our lives
We struggle on in depths of pride
Tangled up in single minds

Cos I don't wanna lose
What we had last time your leaving this life ain't fair
You don't get something for nothing, turn back
Mmmm gotta try a little harder

Cos I don't wanna lose
What we had last time your leaving this life ain't fair
You don't get something for nothing, turn back
Mmmm gotta try a little harder

It could be sweet

TURNING TO LIBRARY COUNTER

JERRY: This woman's completely ignoring me.
KRAMER: Look at her. This is a lonely woman looking for companionship.. ... Spinster. ...Maybe a virgin. ... Maybe she got hurt a long time ago. She was a schoolgirl. There was a boy... It didn't work out. Now she needs a little tenderness. She needs a little understanding. She needs a little Kramer.
JERRY: Eventually a little shot of penicillin.
