"Captain Morgan's Revenge" - Alestorm


Countless years ago while lost in barren seas
There whispered murmurs of a bloody mutiny
We took up arms and slayed the officers of rank
And with swords drawn, made the captain walk the plank

And as he fell down to the depths
He swore a deadly curse
"As sure as Hell's my final fate
You'll all soon die, or worse!!"
Now as we stand before the gallows
Waiting for the end
I'll say these final words, my friend

At sunrise we'll dance the hempen jig
So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig
The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate
So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits

We returned to port with sorrow in our chests
An evil shadow followed us on every quest
Never to feel joy again was our fate
Only misery and death, fear and burning hate

We broke the law, betrayed the code
Now time is running out
An unforgivable offense
Of that there is no doubt
Now as we stand before the gallows
Waiting for the end
I'll say these final words, my friend

At sunrise we'll dance the hempen jig
So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig
The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate
So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits

Many years have passed now
Yet the curse still lives on
And now we rot in a black prison cell
Waiting for our true calling in Hell!!

But for the lives we leave behind
Don't shed a tear, don't cry
The only way to break this curse
Is for us all to die
Now as we stand before the gallows
Waiting for the end
I'll say these final words, my friend

At sunrise we'll dance the hempen jig
So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig
The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate
So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits

At sunrise we'll dance the hempen jig
So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig
The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate
So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits!!

Yarr harr!!

"Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship" - Alestorm


In the dead of night
We hear the sound of thunder
Undead fiends arise
To terrorize and plunder
Crawling through the sea
A dendrophagic horde
Our ship's no longer safe
The zombies have just climbed aboard!

Bloodlust in their eyes
Our boat is their prize
A feast for the dead
Devouring the ship and inside of our heads

Far across the sea
Zombies wait for me
Craving brains and treasure
It's their destiny
Till my dying day
Hear these words I say
Zombies ate my pirate ship
I will make them pay

Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho
(Those Zombies ate my pirate ship)
Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho
(They are a bunch of undead pricks)
Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho
(I'll smash their face in with a brick)
Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho
(Those Zombies ate my pirate ship)

Centuries ago
The prophecy was written
So the story goes
The grimmest and the true frostbitten
Druids made a pact
That zombie hordes would roam
In search of stolen wood
The forest shall reclaim it's own

They've eaten the mast
Save the crow's nest till last
Sink down to the depths
Cursing their name with our final breath

Die!
F*ck you, zombie scum!

Far across the sea
Zombies wait for me
Craving brains and treasure
It's their destiny
Till my dying day
Hear these words I say
Zombies ate my pirate ship
I will make them pay

Those Zombies ate my pirate ship!

Far across the sea
Zombies wait for me
Craving brains and treasure
It's their destiny
Till my dying day
Hear these words I say
Zombies ate my pirate ship
I will make them pay

Far across the sea
Zombies wait for me
Craving brains and treasure
It's their destiny
Till my dying day
Hear these words I say
Zombies ate my pirate ship
I will make them pay!!

"Genetic Repo Man" - Repo! The Genetic Opera


Repo man!
Repo man!

Out from the night, from the mist, steps a figure,
No one really knows his name for sure.
He stands at 6'6", head and shoulders.
Pray he never comes knocking at your door...

Say that you once bought a heart,
Or new corneas,
But somehow never managed to square away your debts?
He won't bother to write or to phone you,
He'll just rip the still-beating heart from your chest!

Repo man!
Repo man!

Now you could run, you could hide.
You could try to.
But he always has a way of finding you.
He will come at your weakest hour,
When no one is around who might rescue you...

Repo man!
Repo man!

And none of us are free from this horror,
For many years ago, we all fell in debt.
New body parts were needed to perfect our image.
And until our debts are clear,
We will live in fear of the...

Repo man!
Repo man!
Repo man!
Repo man!
 
Redefined - As I Lay Dying

I refuse to let go of the memories
'Cause they've changed everything inside of me

If I could go back now to save myself the loss
Substanceless character brought back would be the cost (the cost)
Agony today
Is tomorrow's strength
So don't run away
'Cause misery is...

Evolving
Into something that
We can't see
Evolving
And becoming
Transforming

So don't run away

The pain can never be erased
Remain and turn it into strength

Turn it into strength

What do we value in the midst of complacency?
But in despair we beg for something, anything
Even our mistakes (even our mistakes)
Can have the power
To light the way (to light the way)
Like a glaring tower

The pain can never be erased
Remain and turn it into strength
From our failures we are refined (this perfect fight)
Replacing frailty
Allowing us to be
Be redefined

Healed scars can be stronger than skin
The wounds we have can be rewritten

Redefined
Redefined
Redefined
Agony today
Is tomorrow's strength
Redefined

So don't run away

The pain can never be erased

The pain can never be erased
Remain and turn it into strength
The pain can never be erased (never be erased)
Remain and turn it into strength (turn it into strength)
From our failures we are refined (this perfect fight)
Replacing frailty (pray your last day)
Allowing us to be
Be redefined (from our failures we're stronger in fight)
Replacing frailty
Allowing us to be
Be redefined

Don't run away (don't run away)
Misery's evolving

"The Bells of Notre Dame" - The Hunchback of Notre Dame.


Olim
Olim Deus accelere
Hoc sæculum splendidum
Accelere fiat venire olim

Morning in Paris, the city awakes
To the bells of Notre Dame
The fisherman fishes, the bakerman bakes
To the bells of Notre Dame
To the big bells as loud as the thunder
To the little bells soft as a psalm
And some say the soul of the city's
The toll of the bells
The bells of Notre Dame

Listen, they're beautiful, no?
So many colors of sound, so many changing moods
Because you know, they do not ring all by themselves.
They don't?
No silly boy
Up there, high, high in the dark bell tower
Lives a mysterious bell ringer.

Who is this strange creature?
Who?
What is he?
What?
How did he come to be there?
How?
Hush, and Clopin will tell you
It is a tale, a tale of a man and a monster...

Dark was the night when our tale was begun
On the docks near Notre Dame.

"Shut it up will you!"

"We'll be spotted!"

"Hush little one!"

Four frightened gypsies, slid silently under the docks near Notre Dame

"Four guilders for safe passage into Paris."
But a trap had been laid for the gypsies
And they gazed up in fear and alarm
At figure whose clutches
Were iron as much as the bells
"Judge Claude Frollo!"
The bells of Notre Dame.

Judge Claude Frollo longed
To purge the world
Of vice and sin
And he saw corruption
Everywhere
Except within

"Bring these gypsy vermin to the palace of justice."

"You there, what are you hiding?"

"Stolen goods, no doubt, take them from her!"

She ran!

Dies iræ, dies illa
Solvet sæclum in favilla
Teste David cum Sibylla
Quantus tremor est futurus
Quando Judex est venturus

"Sanctuary, please give us sanctuary!"

Quantus tremor est futurus
Quando Judex est venturus

"A baby? A monster!"

"Stop!"
Cried the Archdeacon

"This is an unholy demon!
I'm sending it back to Hell where it belongs!"

"See there the innocent blood you have spilt
On the steps of Notre Dame."

"I am guiltless, she ran, I pursued."

"Now you would add this child's blood to your guilt
On the steps of Notre Dame!"

"My conscience is clear!"

"You can lie to yourself and your minions
You can claim that you haven't a qualm
But you never can, run from nor hide what you've done from the eyes
The very eyes of Notre Dame!"

And for one time in his life
Of power and control
Frollo felt a twinge of fear
For his immortal soul.

"What must I do?"

"Care for the child, and raise it as your own."

"What? I'm to be settled with this misshapen...
Very well, but let him live with you and your church."

"Live here? Where?"

"Anywhere
Just so he's kept locked away where no one else can see
The bell tower perhaps?
And who knows, our Lord works in mysterious ways
Even this foul creature may
Yet prove one day to be
Of use to me!"

And Frollo gave the child a cruel name.
A name that means half-formed.
Quasimodo!

Now here is a riddle to guess if you can
Sing the bells of Notre Dame.
Who is the monster and who is the man?
Sing the bells bells bells bells bells bells bells bells
Bells of Notre Dame!

"First Kill" - Amon Amarth


The first man I killed was the earl's right-hand man
When he came to take her away
I ran his own sword straight through his throat
And then I stood there, watching him fade

The first blood I spilled was the blood of a varg
I had to wipe his smile away
I was not yet a man, nor was I a boy
But still, I made that bastard pay

So I left him there, on the stable floor
Bathing in a pool of his own blood
My one and only choice was to flee this land
To leave this wretched place for good

I am an outcast
All alone
I'm a nomad without home

I am an outlaw
I'm disowned
And I am no man's son

Through the cold midwinter nights on a southbound winding path
The stars and moon my only light; and the earl's men closing fast
I swore that I'd return; that I would see him burn
I will live it in my dreams; the smell, the blood, his dying screams

To my father I was dead, he took his hand from me
He drove me away, I was shunned
My one and only choice was to leave this land
To become the pagan they would hunt

I am an outcast
All alone
I'm a nomad without home

I am an outlaw
I'm disowned
And I am no man's son

I am an outcast
All alone
I'm a nomad without home

I am an outlaw
I'm disowned
And I am no man's son

"The Sound of Eight Hooves" - Amon Amarth


He's running through woods so black
A loyal servant of Christ.
Dogs are barking down his back
He's running for his life.

He came with words of love and peace
These heathens had to be saved.
He thought that he could make them see
Instead he was enslaved.
In captivity he spoke of God
To all he met he preached
But when his master's patience ran out
He knew he had to flee.

Tears are running down his cheeks
As he's sobbing he realized
That in this land his god is weak.
And today he's going to die.
To die!!

He stumbles out onto an open field
Where an old oak tree grows.
In the branches hang men of three
Dressed in preacher's robes.

His knees refuse to carry him on
Terror shines in his eyes
His faith in Christ is almost gone
His god's left him to die.
Below the dead he says his prayers
To the god he thought was alive
When he hears a calm voice say
"Shut him up and hang him high!!"

As his breath leaves his eyes open wide
A bright light comes from above.
He greets this light with a smile
And thinks there is a god.
The sound of eight hooves reaches his ears
And comes from the heavenly light.
Two wolves' howls fill his heart with fear
And he sees two ravens fly.
Down from the sky a warlord rides
Like fire his one eye glows.
And just before the preacher dies
He knows his god is false.

"À Tout le Monde" - Megadeth


Don't remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it'd cost
My life passed before my eyes
When I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans denied

So as you read this, know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile when you think of me
My body's gone, that's all

À tout le monde,
À tous mes amis,
Je vous aime,
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free

Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living are scarred

À tout le monde,
À tous mes amis,
Je vous aime,
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free

So as you read this know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile, smile when you think about me
My body's gone that's all

À tout le monde,
À tous mes amis,
Je vous aime,
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free

À tout le monde,
À tous mes amis,
Je vous aime,
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free
 
Prison Skin - Persefone

Standing
Confused
Tears in my eyes
Void in my heart
I don't know who I am anymore
This trance defines the realms of my mind
My head collapsed by the magnitude of this feeling
Let you be, close your eyes
And dare to see what always was
I will, I want!
Don't want to be what I am not anymore
Trust your being, let you feel connected with this life
Thousand voices, fear and anger
Fighting ego wants to keep this false I alive
Confined by the walls I built
Being consumed by this prison skin
Open your eye
Feel what you are inside
You are not your face
You are not the name you've been given
Break these walls and see the light
Transcend your senses, be!
There is more
That I can't see
That I can't touch
But I can feel deep
I will break free
From this false reality
I will
Leave the anger
Open your heart
Bloom outside of this prison skin

King Nothing- Metallica

Wish I may
Wish I might
Have this I wish tonight
Are you satisfied?
Dig for gold
Dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?
All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased
And it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing, just to play the king
But the castle crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Where's your crown?
Hard and cold
Bought and sold
A heart as hard as gold
Yeah! Are you satisfied?
Wish I might, wish I may
You wish your life away
Are you pacified?
All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing, just to play the king
But the castle crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Where's your crown?
Huh!
Wish I may, wish I might
Have this wish, I wish tonight
I want that star, I want it now
I want it all and I don't care how
Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish you may regret it
Careful what you wish you just might get it
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing, just to play the king
But the castle crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Nothing
Oh, you're just nothing
Where's your crown King Nothing?
Oh, you're just nothing
Absolutely nothing
Off to never never land
