Een songtekst van 1 van mijn favoriete bands:

Social Distortion-When the angels sing

At last we meet again, dear God

Hear the angels sing

The funerals are nicer when we know you're there

When the angels sing

Sometimes

I try so hard

To understand

The things you do

I like to question you

When it all comes down

Hear the angels sing

Stand up strong

Feel the pain

When the angels sing

Love

And death

Don't mean a thing

Till the angels sing

The prisoners pray when they're on to death row

When the angels sing

The junky

Cries for love but it's all run out

When the angels sing

The sins

Of the world

And it's cold on the streets

And you're all alone

And the tears

They start to fall

When it all comes down

Hear the angels sing

Stand up strong

Feel the pain

When the angels sing

Love

And death

Don't mean a thing

Till the angels sing

Little

By little

Day by day

I watch the children play

Cause life

And death

Don't mean a thing

Till the angels sing

When the angel of death comes to looking for me

Hear the angels sing

I hope I was everything I was supposed to be

When the angels sing

There's gotta be a heaven

Cause I've already done

My time in hell

And a little

Baby's born when it all comes down

Hear the angels sing

Stand up strong

Feel the pain

When the angels sing

Love

And death

Don't mean a thing

Till the angels sing

Little

By little

Day by day

I watch the children play

Cause life

And death

Don't mean a thing

Till the angels sing

Anberlin - Hello Alone

Is this where the interstate ends?

In coastal towns like this

Waiting for my world to cave under

We seem to invent ourselves (we seem to invent ourselves)

In the places left unknown

If hope could only find me out

Is this the end of everything we've known? (We've known)

This is the end of everything I am

Is anybody out there?

Hello! Hello!

Broken hearts like promises are left for lesser knowns

Is anybody out there?

Alone! Alone!

Cause the coldest winters thrive

Depression is the unholy ghost

In the coastal towns of ahead

Though I know a thousand names

I see my only friend

I've got the gun

All I need is ten cents for the bullet

I feel helpless, sleeping at best, waiting for your return

Are you ever coming home?

Is anybody out there?

Hello! Hello!

Broken hearts like promises are left for lesser knowns

Is anybody out there?

Alone! Alone!

Cause the coldest winters thrive on broken homes

Broken homes

Does anybody (Does anybody)

Do they ever listen? (Do they ever listen?)

Does anybody (Does anybody)

Care at all?!

Do they care at all?

Do they care at all?

Do they care at all?

Do you care at all? Do you care at all?!

Is this the end of everything we've known? (We've known)

This is the end of everything I am

Is anybody out there?

Hello! Hello!

Broken hearts like promises are left for lesser knowns

Is anybody out there?

Alone! Alone!

Cause the coldest winters thrive on broken homes

Is anybody out there?

Hello! Hello!

Broken hearts like promises are left for lesser knowns

Is anybody out there?

Alone! Alone!

From a lesser known I'm here

and there's hope, there's hope

Pooka - Spinning

I dreamt I felt you breathing

warm against my skin

the birds were singing lullabies

and you were sleeping

silent has your voice been

I have not heard one word

I'm coming to take you my love

and throw you in the sea

I'll drag you through the rose bushes

and thorns will pierce your skin

You'll bleed from every artery

the pain may wake you

they're coming to take you my love

and throw you in the pit

they'll cover you from head to toe

they'll take you for dead

I'll give you pain

I'll watch you weeping

I don't let you die while you are sleeping

if you feel safe you are not living

please don't stop your soul

your soul from spinning

I only want to wake you

I only want to wake you

I only want to wake you

I'll give you pain

I'll give you weeping

I won't let you die while you are sleeping

if you feel safe you are not living

please don't stop your soul

your soul from spinning

let me love you

let me love you

Neutral milk hotel - Holland 1945

The only girl I've ever loved

Was born with roses in her eyes

But then they buried her alive

One evening 1945

With just her sister at her side

And only weeks before the guns

All came and rained on everyone

Now she's a little boy in Spain

Playing pianos filled with flames

On empty rings around the sun

All sing to say my dream has come

But now we must pack up every piece

Of the life we used to love

Just to keep ourselves

At least enough to carry on

And now we ride the circus wheel

With your dark brother wrapped in white

Says it was good to be alive

But now he rides a comet's flame

And won't be coming back again

The Earth looks better from a star

That's right above from where you are

He didn't mean to make you cry

With sparks that ring and bullets fly

On empty rings around your heart

The world just screams and falls apart

But now we must pack up every piece

Of the life we used to love

Just to keep ourselves

At least enough to carry on

And here's where your mother sleeps

And here is the room where your brothers were born

Indentions in the sheets

Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore

And it's so sad to see the world agree

That they'd rather see their faces fill with flies

All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes

In het kader van het topic angst van Iriacynthe;

Jazmine Sullivan - Fear

I'm scared to try cause I'm scared to fail

I'm scared to die cause I'm scared of hell

I'm scared to kiss scared to hug

I'm scared of sex cause I'm scared to touch

I'm scared to look cause I'm scared to see

I'm scared of you cause I'm scared of me

I'm scared to fly cause I'm scared to crash

I'm scared to move on so I live in the past

I'm scared to fight cause I'm scared to bleed

I'm scared of love cause I'm scared he'll leave

I'm scared of drugs I'm scared to drink

I'm scared to swim cause I'm scared to sink

I'm scared to learn cause I'm scared of truth

Don't wanna gain weight cause I'm scared of food

I'm scared to think that the label dropped me

I'm scared to think of my album floppin

This may sound silly but it's true

So don't pretend it ain't you too

We all afraid of something here

Cause you ain't human with out fear

I'm scared to start cause I'm scared I'll quit

I'm scared that people won't like my shit

I'm scared of fame and paparazzi

Rumors startin and people watching

Scared to grow up cause I'm scared to get old

Scared of the dark and beign alone

I'm scared of war I'm scared of jail

Scared to share a secret cause I'm scared you'll tell

This may sound silly but it's true

So don't pretend it ain't you too

We all afraid of something here

Cause you ain't human with out fear

Modest mouse - Willful suspension of disbelief

Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere

It's all so plain, it's all a plan

It's all so plain to most everyone

The sky doesn't ever end

The air just gets much thinner further up

You could keep digging down and down

A thousand graves down without turning around or finding hell

You find you're digging up again

Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere

Willful suspension of disbelief

Lekker toepasselijk in deze tijd van het jaar.

Haste The Day - Autumn

Red leaves blow in the wind

Leaving home and everything it's known behind

Barren branches wave goodbye

As the red leaves slowly die

Every flower stares and watches

As the wind, it takes me away

Before, before the sun, the sun shone upon me

Oh now, now the wind, it takes me away

Every flower stares and watches

As the wind, as the wind takes me away

Before, before the sun, the sun shone upon me

Oh now, now the wind, it takes me away

Steve Goodman-Vegematic

Fell asleep last night with the T-V on. Oh, what a dream I had.

I dreamed I answered every single one of those late night mail order ads.

And four to six weeks later, much to my surprise,

The mailman came to my front door, and I couldn't believe my eyes

When he brought the Vegematic, and the Pocket Fisherman too,

Illuminated illustrated history of life,

And Boxcar Willie with a Ginzu knife,

A bamboo steamer, and a Garden Weasel too,

And a tie-dyed, dayglow souvenir shirt from Six Flags Over Burbank.

The doorbell rang all morning and into the afternoon.

I shook with fright as it rang all night to the light of the Master Card moon.

There was Parcel Post in the pantry, and UPS in the hall,

C O D's to the ceiling, and I just couldn't pay for it all.

I got the egg scrambler, with a Seal-a-Meal carrying case,

A set of presidential commemorative plates

So I could eat my eggs off the President's face,

A Minute Mender, and a needle that'll knit or crochet,

And an autographed photograph of Rin Tin Tin at Six Flags Over Burbank.

I remembered I was dreaming, so I gave a mighty cheer.

When I awoke, it was no joke, 'cause all that shit was here.

So if you fall asleep with the TV on, let me tell you what to do:

Tear the telephone out of the wall unless you want it to happen to you.

You'll get the Vegematic, and the Pocket Fisherman too,

Illuminated illustrated history of life,

And Boxcar Willie with a Ginzu knife,

A bamboo steamer, and a smokeless ashtray too

And an all expenses paid weekend for three at Six Flags Over Burbank

Theocracy- Bethlehem

All my life, I've waited and watched through the eyes of faith To see the consolation of Israel

And even though the flame of my life is now growing dim I know I'll see the Savior of Israel

For the Spirit of the Lord has promised unto me That I would not see death before my eyes have seen Him

The promise is alive, for through this little child God's holy light illuminates Jerusalem

This child will cause the falling and rising of many souls A sign for all the people of Israel

This child will be the way and the life unto every soul To every generation shall the Gentiles tell

For the way has been prepared in the sight of every man The Son of God Himself is born in Bethlehem

A sacrifice is made in the temple on this day Redemption reaches far beyond Jerusalem

O Bethlehem, your star burns bright tonight For my eyes have seen the glory of salvation's holy light

Has this little child come to redeem us all? To save us from the fall

Redemption is in sight Behold, the Son shines bright Under Bethlehem's star tonight

O Bethlehem, your star burns bright tonight For my eyes have seen the glory of salvation's holy light

Has this little child come to redeem us all? To save us from the fall

Redemption is in sight Behold, the Son shines bright in Bethlehem tonight(2x)

When all the world was sleeping deep in darkness A child in Bethlehem fulfilled the promise

The ancients prophesied a great deliverer The one to break the curse of sin forever

He didn't come with any worldly fanfare No royal treatment, just a dark cross to bear

In Bethlehem a brand new dawn is rising A star to guide the way, forever shining

New hope was born for all creation that night For though the darkness came the brightest light

Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics: John Petrucci

This is so hard for me

To find the words to say

My thoughts are standing still

Captive inside of me

All emotions start to hide

And nothing's getting through

Watch me

Fading

I'm losing

All my instincts

Falling into darkness

Tear down these walls for me

Stop me from going under

You are the only one who knows

I'm holding back

It's not too late for me

To keep from sinking further

I'm trying to find my way out

Tear down these walls for me now

So much uncertainty

I don't like this feeling

I'm sinking like a stone

Each time I try to speak

There's a voice I'm hearing

And it changes everything

Watch me

Crawl from

The wreckage

Of my silence

Conversation

Failing

Tear down these walls for me

Stop me from going under

You are the only one who knows

I'm holding back

It's not too late for me

To keep from sinking further

I'm trying to find my way out

Tear down these walls

Every time you choose to turn away

Is it worth the price you pay

Is there someone who will wait for you

One more time

One more time

Watch me

Fading

I'm losing

All my instincts

Falling into darkness

Tear down these walls for me

Stop me from going under

You are the only one who knows

I'm holding back

It's not too late for me

To keep from sinking further

I'm trying to find my way out

Tear down these walls for me now

Tear down these walls for me

It's not too late for me

Tear down these walls for me

Lady Antebellum - I Run To You

I run from pain

I run from prejudice

I run from pessimists

But I run too late

I run my life

Or is it running me

Run from my past

I run too fast

Or too slow it seems

When lies become the truth

That’s when I run to you

Chorus

This world keeps spinning faster

Into a new disaster so I run to you

I run to you baby

And when it all starts coming undone

Baby you’re the only one I run to

I run to you

We run on fumes

Your life and mine

Like the sands of time

Slippin’ right on through

And our love’s the only truth

That’s why I run to you

Repeat Chorus X 2

Dream Theater - The Count of tuscany

Op waarheid gebaseerd

Several years ago

In a foreign town

Far away from home

I met the Count of Tuscany

A young eccentric man

Bred from royal blood

Took me for a ride

Across the open countryside

Get into my car

Let's go for a drive

Along the way

I'll be your guide

Just step inside

Maybe you recall

A cannibal curator

A character inspired by my brother's life

Winding through the hills

The city far behind

On and on we drove

Down narrow streets and dusty roads

At last we came upon

A picturesque estate

On sprawling emerald fields

An ancient world of times gone by

Let me introduce

My brother

A bearded gentleman

Historian

Sucking on his pipe

Distinguished accent

Making me uptight

No accident

I want to stay alive

Everything about this place

Just doesn't feel right

I

I don't want to die

Suddenly I'm frightened for my life

I want to say goodbye

This could be the last time

You see me alive

I-

I may not survive

Knew it from the moment we arrived

Would you like to see

Our secret holy place?

I come here late at night

To pray to him by candle light

Then peering through the glass

I saw with disbelief

Still dressed in royal clothes

The saint behind the altar

History recalls

During times of war

Legend has been traced

Back inside these castle walls

Where soldiers came to hide

In barrels filled with wine

Never to escape

These tombs of oak are where they died

Down the cellar stairs

I disappear

Like the English heir

The end is near

Come and have a taste

A rare vintage

All the finest wines

Improve with age

I want to stay alive

Everything about this place

Just doesn't feel right

I

I don't want to die

Suddenly I'm frightened for my life

I want to say goodbye

This could be the last time

You see me alive

I

I may not survive

Knew it from the moment we arrived

Could this be the end?

Is this the way I die?

Sitting here alone

No one by my side

I don't understand

I don't feel that I deserve this

What did I do wrong?

I just don't understand

Give me one more chance

Let me please explain

It's all been circumstance

I'll tell you once again

You took me for a ride

Promising a vast adventure

Next thing that I know

I'm frightened for my life

Now wait a minute man

That's not how it is

You must be confused

That isn't who I am

Please don't be afraid

I would never try to hurt you

This is how we live

Strange although it seems

Please try to forgive

The chapel and the saint

The soldiers and the wine

The fables and the tales

All handed down through time

Of course you're free to go

Go and tell the world my story

Tell about my brother

Tell them about me

The Count of Tuscany...

Geniale trilogie (volgens mij):

Hallowed Be My Name

Gather round right now and hear me whisper the words of the prison the words of laughter

The lords and the ladies were fixing their hairdos cursing their lovers cursing the bible

Hallowed be my name yelling at fathers screaming at mothers hallowed be my name

Come all you sinners come now in your glory and my ears will listen to your dirty stories

You're fighting to go up 'cause you're on your way down cursing their lovers cursing the bible

Hallowed be my name yelling at fathers screaming at mothers hallowed be my name ahhahahahaha

Sluts and the hookers have taken your money the queens are out dancing but now they're not funny

'cause there goes one walkin' away with your sonny cursing their lovers cursing the bible

Hallowed be my name yelling at fathers screaming at mothers hallowed be my name

Second Coming

I couldn't tell if the bells were getting louder the songs they ring I finally recognize

I only know hell is getting hotter the devil's getting smarter all the time

And it would be nice to walk upon the water to talk again to angels on my side

Time is getting closer I read it on a poster fanatical exposers on corners prophecy

It would be nice to walk upon the water to talk again to angels at my side

I just come back to show you all my words are golden so have no gods before me I'm the light

Ballad Of Dwight Fry

Mommy where's daddy he's been gone for so long do you think he'll ever come home

I was gone for fourteen days I coulda been gone for more

Held up in the intensive care ward lyin' on the floor

I was gone for all those days but I was not all alone

I made friends with a lot of people in the danger zone

See my lonely life unfold I see it every day see my only mind explode since I've gone away

I think I lost some weight there and I I'm sure I need some rest

Sleepin' don't come very easy in a straight white vest

Should like to see that little children she's only four years old old

I'd give her back all of her playthings even even the ones I stole

See my lonely life unfold I see it everyday see my lonely mind explode when I've gone insane

I wanna get outta here I wanna get outta here I I've gotta I've gotta get outta here

I I gotta get out of here I gotta get out of here I gotta get outta here I gotta get outta here

Ya gotta let me out of here let me outta here I gotta get outta here I gotta get outta here

See my lonely life unfold I see it everyday see my only mind explode blow up in my face

I grabbed my hat and I got my coat and I I ran into the street

I saw a man that was choking there I guess he couldn't breathe

Said to myself this is very strange I'm glad it wasn't me

But now I hear those sirens callin' and so I am not free

I didn't wanna be I didn't wanna be I didn't wanna be see my lonely life unfold I didn't wanna be

Leave me alone I didn't wanna be don't touch me see my lonely mind explode when I've gone insane

NICKELBACK- HOW YOU REMIND ME

Never made it as a wise man

I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealin'

Tired of livin' like a blind man

I'm sick inside without a sense of feelin

And this is how you remind me

This is how you remind me

Of what I really am

This is how you remind me

Of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry

I was waiting on a different story

This time I'm mistaken

For handing you a heart worth breakin'

I've been wrong, I've been down

To the bottom of every bottle

Despite words in my head

Scream "Are we having fun yet?"

Yet?, Yet?, Yet?, no no

It's not like you didn't know that

I said I love you and I swear I still do

It must have been so bad

Cause living with me must have damn near killed you

This is how you remind me

Of what I really am

This is how you remind me

Of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry

I was waiting on a different story

This time I'm mistaken

For handing you a heart worth breakin'

I've been wrong, I've been down

To the bottom of every bottle

Despite words in my head

Scream "Are we having fun yet?"

Yet?, Yet?, Yet?, no no

Never made is as a wise man

I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing

And this is how you remind me

This is how you remind me

This is how you remind me

Of what I really am

This is how you remind me

Of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry

I was waiting on a different story

This time I'm mistaken

For handing you a heart worth breakin'

I've been wrong, I've been down

To the bottom of every bottle

Despite words in my head

Scream "Are we having fun yet?"

Yet?, Yet?, Yet?, no no

Salvation

What if I'm wrong,

I've been deceived all along

What if I'm wrong

What have I done

Did I waste a life just for fun

What have I done

What did I do

I did what voices told me to

What did I do

Where will I go

Will I sink through fire down below

Where will I go

Any chance of salvation

Any chance for me

Any chance of salvation for eternity

Any chance of salvation

Someone died for me

Washed in blood he cared enough to pity me

Why do I care

What's wrong with me, my hate is gone

Why do I care

When did I change

What's different now, it's very strange

When did I change

Any chance of salvation

Any chance for me

Any chance of salvation for eternity

Any chance of salvation

Someone died for me

Washed in blood he cared enough to pity me

In my heart

In my soul

Something's new, that's very old

Like a pain that's finally gone

I feel my heavy burden lifted

Any chance of salvation

Any chance for me

Any chance of salvation

Any chance of salvation

Any chance for me

Any chance of salvation for eternity

Any chance of salvation

Any chance for me

Any chance of salvation for eternity

Any chance of salvation

Any chance for me

Any chance of salvation for eternity

Anberlin (*Fin)

Feels like you're miles from here,

in other towns with lesser names.

Where the unholy ghost doesn't tell

Mary or William exactly what they want to hear.

You remember the house on Ridge Road

told you and the Devil to both just leave me alone.

If this is salvation, I can show you the trembling.

You'll just have to trust me. I'm scared.

I am the patron saint of lost causes.

Aren't we all to you just near lost causes?

Aren't we all to you just lost

Tommy, you left behind

something that will mean everything right before you die.

What if you gained the whole world?

You've already lost four little souls from your life.

Widows and orphans aren't hard to find.

They're home missing daddy who's saving the world tonight.

Wish your drinking would hurry and kill you.

Sympathy's better than having to tell you the truth.

That you are the patron saint of lost causes.

All you are to them is now a lost cause.

All you are to them is now, causes.

Billy, don't you understand?

Timothy stood as long as he could and now

you made his faith disappear.

More like a magician and less like a man of the cloth.

We're not questioning God.

Just those he chose to carry on His cross.

We're no better, you'll see.

Just all of us, the lost causes.

Aren't we all to you just lost causes?

Are we all to you lost?

Lost causes

So all we are to you,

Is all we are, is all we are

All we are is all we are

[Choir]

Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?

Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?

Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?

Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?

Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?

(Lost causes, all we are is all we are)

Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?

(To you, lost causes)

Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?

Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?

Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?

Pauley Perette/Stop making friends- Fear

Are you scared of the dark Are you afraid they'll break your heart

Are you afraid you’ll lose yourself Are you afraid of your own health

Are you scared to lose Are you afraid to choose Are you afraid you’ll win Are you scared of your own sin

Are you scared to forgive Are you afraid to live Are you afraid to die Do you think you told a lie

To live When you think you’re dying To laugh When you feel like crying

To stand When you think you’re gonna fall It’s just fear after all It’s only fear after all

Are you afraid you’ll be alone Are you scared to pick up the phone

Are you scared of the past Do you think that you might crash

Do you think you’re in too deep Are you afraid to sleep

Are you scared there’s no stability Are you afraid of your own fragility

To live When you think you’re dying To laugh When you feel like crying

To stand When you think you’re gonna fall It’s just fear after all It’s only fear after all

To mend When you’re think you’re breaking To strength When you know you’re shaking

To pray When your back’s against the wall It’s only fear after all

Are you scared of the end Are you scared to begin Are you scared of the start

Do you think they’ll break your heart Do you think they’ll break your heart

It’s only fear The only fear is fear itself The only fear is fear itself

The only fear is fear itself It's only fear

Ranch On Mars (Reprise) – (1991)

No more talking time to land...galactic cowboys

You give me hope you understand...galactic cowboys

Roped my media's lasso...galactic cowboys

They all want a piece of you...galactic cowboys

Someday you'll live among the stars, maybe own a house on Mars

Galactic cowboys never age! (& I repeat)

Someday you'll live among the stars, maybe own a ranch on Mars

Galactic cowboys never age!

Ranch On Mars – (1993)

Different places, different names

Peculiar people just the same

We are brothers in our hearts

Though we've traveled far away

Another galaxy to play

Up in space we'll never part

Someday we'll live among the stars

Maybe own a ranch on Mars

Come in, come in mission control

Give us guidance for our souls

With eyes that scan the universe

No more talking time to land

You give me hope you understand

Our future lies beyond this earth

Ranch On Mars Pt. 2 (Set Me Free) – (1998)

Set me free

Cut the strings

Break the ties and leave it all behind

Set me free

I got the news

The strings are loose, I've taken back my life

We built a ranch on Mars

Tried to live among the stars

But the fire came and burnt

The whole place down

Set me free

It's haunting me

The memories I constantly relive

Set me free

Begin again

Heal the wounds, I'm learning to forgive

We built a ranch on mars

There were way too many scars

And the floods came and they washed

It all away

Biohazard - What Makes Us Tick

What makes us tick

Are we mentally sick

Feeling inside that drive us like pride

Or emotional scars from our friends that have died

And make us build walls so incredible high

They exceed the ceiling from the terrified feelings

Which we often repress and end up depressed

Some vent it as rage, it's the fashion these days

In a twisted society, we drown in anxiety

Has push come to shove, have we killed the dove?

Are we caught in a fit, what makes us tick

Has man gone insane, are we feeling the strain?

We must dig and must pick, at what makes us tick

Has push come to shove, have we killed the dove?

Are we caught in the thick, as to what makes us tick

Can you feel the pain that I feel?

No

So let me tell you about what is real?

Go

The pain inside, it kills me, I cry

So

What is it that makes us tick

Can you hear the cries that I cry

Why

Leave me alone, I'm ready to die

Die

For me I lie to myself

Just what is it that makes us tick

Crass - Beg your pardon

Beg the question, bend the truth

Bail out the basement while there's holes in the roof

In the beginning they said there was light,

Well there ain't much left of it now.

We're lost in the darkness, searching sound and sight

Of an answer to the what, where or how.

We're talking 'bout freedom while we're locked in a cell,

Dreaming of a world without war,

Forced to live on the boundaries of hell

Like no-one's ever thought of peace before.

What's the point of preaching peace if it's something you don't feel?

What's the point of talking love if you think that love ain't real?

Where's the hope in hopelessness? Where's the truth in lies?

Don't try to hold my hand if you can't look me in the eyes.

Beg the question, bend the truth

Bail out the basement while there's holes in the roof

In the beginning they said there was light

But somebody's burnt out the fuse.

And now we're all lost in eternal night

Looking for a candle to use.

Lots of little candles, isolated hope,

Frail little flames in the gale,

Lost little people who just can't cope,

Just knocking their heads on the nail.

What's the point of talking freedom if you just protect yourself?

What's the point of preaching sharing as you accumulate your wealth?

It's so easy to be giving if the things you give ain't real.

It's so easy to lie if your ignore the things you feel.

Beg the question, bend the truth

Bail out the basement while there's holes in the roof

In the beginning they said there was light

But we never had the eyes to see.

But rather than struggling or putting up a fight

We ran like lemmings to the sea.

No-one really wants to get it all together,

It's easier to just grab what you can.

Everybody's going it, hell for leather,

Building little castles in the sand.

Hypocrisy, delusion, lies, pretence, deceit,

Think only of yourself and the world's at your feet

I don't believe the things you say, you make bullshit of the truth.

The game you play's offensive and you life's the living proof.

Beg the question, bend the truth

Bail out the basement while there's holes in the roof

Beg the question, bend the truth

Bail out the basement while there's holes in the roof

In the beginning they said there was light

But I'm tired of hearing their lies.

I'm tired of deceit, gonna put up a fight,

I'm going to use my own eyes.

Gonna make my decisions, live my own life,

They can keep their darkness and gloom.

Hypocrisy, trickery, I've had enough,

They can keep their destruction and doom.

I've only one life and I'll live it my way,

They can keep their restrictions and law.

And if they think different I'll have one thing to say...

"Fuck off cos I've heard it before."

Flux of Pink Indians - Some of us scream, some of us shout

we're all conditioned to think ten tellies are better than one

and to blow this world up ten times is better than to blow it up once

billions spent on destroying the world while millions starve, where did we go wrong?

where did we go wrong? maybe you don't think that this is wrong?

we as one are saying

feed starving people

**** your bombs

all through our lives we are shoved about

some of us scream, some of us shout

some of us complain, protest

while others smile in ecstasy

why is it accepted as the way to live

our bodies falling through one big sieve

we're sorted out, brushed and combed

some smile, some frown

some reject this way to live

and pay the price to how they exist

who are you?

what are you?

what do you do?

what are you doing?

what are you doing it for?

what are you doing it for?

we can't accept their disrespect

their eyes and bombs that watch over us

their systems creating war

while society breeds hate

and they make out that it's normal

for people to fight and hate

they shove toy guns on impressionable children

their future soldiers of war?

is it too late for us all to change?

have we gone too far?

we as one are saying

we don't want your life no more

**** off

Ik heb nooit iets gehad met Hillsong, maar deze vind ik wel heel mooi. Deze ga ik over twee weken zingen op de doop van een vriendin. Vind het doodeng, maar goed.

Hillsong United - With All I Am

into your hand

i commit again

with all I am

for you Lord

you hold my world

in the palm of your hand

and I'm yours forever

CHORUS

Jesus I believe in you

Jesus I belong to you

you're the reason that I live

the reason that I sing

with all I am

I'll walk with you

wherever you go

through tears and joy

I'll trust in you

and I will live

in all of your ways and

your promises forever

CHORUS

I will worship I will worship you forever

CHORUS

wat ik persoonlijk wel een mooie tekst vind:

skillet - you are my hope

Times are hard, times have changed

Don't you say

But I keep holding on to You

It's hard to keep the faith alive day to day

Leaning on the strength I've found in You

You're the hope of all earth

You are my hope

You are my strength

You're everything, everything I need

You are my hope

You are my life

You are my hope

You are my hope

Far beyond what I can see or comprehend

Etching Your eternity in me

Nations stream and angels sing, "Jesus Reigns"

And every knee bows down

You're the hope of all the earth

You are my hope

You are my strength

You're everything, everything I need

You are my hope

You are my life

You are my hope

You are my hope

Carry on and I sing of how

You love and I love You now

All the times that I start to sink

You come and You rescue me

You are my hope

You are my hope

You are my strength

You're everything, everything I need

You are my hope

You are my life

You are my hope

You are my hope

kutless- What faith can do

Everybody falls sometimes

Gotta find the strength to rise

From the ashes and make a new beginning

Anyone can feel the ache

You think it's more than you can take

But you are stronger, stronger than you know

Don't you give up now

The sun will soon be shining

You gotta face the clouds

To find the silver lining

I've seen dreams that move the mountains

Hope that doesn't ever end

Even when the sky is falling

And I've seen miracles just happen

Silent prayers get answered

Broken hearts become brand new

That's what faith can do

It doesn't matter what you've heard

Impossible is not a word

It's just a reason for someone not to try

Everybody's scared to death

When they decide to take that step

Out on the water

It'll be alright

Life is so much more

Than what your eyes are seeing

You will find your way

If you keep believing

I've seen dreams that move the mountains

Hope that doesn't ever end

Even when the sky is falling

And I've seen miracles just happen

Silent prayers get answered

Broken hearts become brand new

That's what faith can do

Overcome the odds

You don't have a chance

(That's what faith can do)

When the world says you can't

It'll tell you that you can!

I've seen dreams that move the mountains

Hope that doesn't ever end

Even when the sky is falling

And I've seen miracles just happen

Silent prayers get answered

Broken hearts become brand new

That's what faith can do

That's what faith can do!

Even if you fall sometimes

You will have the strength to rise

beide zo mooi!!!
