For some reason, the Jam of the Day thread disappeared. I’ll start a new one. King Diamond - “Sleepless Nights”
“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 What did you say? Respect Walk Are you talking to me?” Pantera - “Walk”
“A light in the window is a crack in sky A stairway to darkness in the blink of an eye A levy of tears to learn she’ll never be coming back The man in the dark will bring another attack…” Ozzy Osbourne - “No More Tears”
"...maybe a kiss before I leave you this way/Your lips are so cold, I don't know what else to say..." Excellent choice, @Old Nick ! Zakk Wylde!!!!
TOOL - "Schism" Lyrics: I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them fall away Mildewed and smoldering. Fundamental differing. Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so We cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication. I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them tumble down No fault, none to blame it doesn't mean I don't desire to Point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over. To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication The poetry that comes from the squaring off between, And the circling is worth it. Finding beauty in the dissonance. There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away. Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication. Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any Sense of compassion Between supposed lovers/brothers
King Diamond - “Masquerade Of Madness” @TorreyLisa, I like the idea of posting the full lyrics. There is a girl in misery And in sanity Painting figures on her walls Those voodoo dolls I come to say goodbye I'll take you down to number nine Masquerade of madness Masquerade of sadness (Madness) There is a masque for all the dead And a masque for pain You gotta leave your mind behind Don't go insane I come to say goodbye I'll take you down to number nine Masquerade of madness Masquerade of sadness (Madness) And when they come for you tonight Darkness of the mind Keep on the masque they made for you Only speak inside I come to say goodbye I'll take you down to number nine Masquerade of madness Masquerade of sadness (Madness)
I am glad you can appreciate it! Music touches my soul deeper when I know every word of the song. [email protected] by TorreyLisa posted Jun 7, 2022 at 1:27 PM
One thing I used to love to do, especially with King Diamond albums, is follow along while reading the lyrics. King tells horror stories in his albums. Each song is a part of the story. I should post the lyrics with his songs.
King Diamond - “Funeral/Arrival” From the album Abigail. “Funeral” We are gathered here tonight to lay to rest Abigail La Fey, who we now know was first born dead on the 7th Day of July, 1777. Abigail must be nailed to her coffin with seven silver spikes. One through each hand, arm, and knee, and the last of the seven be driven through her mouth so she may never rise and cause evil again. Who will be the first? I, O’Brien of the Black Horsemen. “Arrival” That must be it Through the summer rain of 1845 A coach had finally arrived To the valley where the crossroads meet below And where all darkness seems to grow People blame it in the hill The hill where no one dares to go The mansion Where no one dares to go The coach had stopped and from the window you could see Seven horsemen in the night Miriam Natias and Jonathan La Fey Saw the magic in their eyes They were in for a surprise The darkness would soon be complete A horseman came forth from the dark “We know you’ve come to inherit what’s yours… The mansion Take our advice and go back in this night If you refuse, 18 will become 9” 18 is 9…18 is 9 Jonathan laughed and said “Get out of my way I don’t believe a word you say” The seven horsemen disappeared into the night “Someday, we’ll meet again, my friend” I think that Jonathan was scared 18 is actually 9…it stuck in his mind
Ghost - “Witch Image” You have never stood this close, to where you want to be You have always waded in the shallows Between me and the deep blue sea You'd never want me to appear You'd never want it to be over You never wanted to reach out to the edge of time While you sleep in earthly delight Someone's flesh is rotting tonight Like no other to you What you've done You cannot undo I have always kept you closer than you've known I, I am riding in the shadows behind you On a pale white horse You'd would never want me to appear You'd never want this to be over Someone's flesh is rotting tonight Like no other to you What you've done You cannot undo While you sleep in earthly delight Still your soul will suffer this plight Like your father in hell What you've sold you can not unsell While you sleep in earthly delight Someone's flesh is rotting tonight Like no other to you What you've done, you cannot undo While you sleep in earthly delight Still your soul will suffer this plight But like a mother would save Her own child from digging a grave
King Diamond - “Them” “King…come back to us” “King…remember the tea” “We are stronger than you” “You must return”
Master Sword - “Let Me Show You The Night” People of the fall Linger in shadow A sky without sun A dusk without dawn The twilight consumes them With evil in tow No stranger to sadness Those spirits below Keep your eyes toward the heavens Don’t turn your back on the sun Through the fields of forever We’ll run Let me show you your future Let me show you the night Let me show you the dream-world Where the darkness delights Let me show you the madness Let me show you her doom Let me show you the tower Where she bathes in her gloom Let me show you the night They rain from the skies Defenders of darkness Ensnared at the soul By one who is lost Dark ambitions are rising He grasps for the power To cloak the world in his nightmare And win this one final hour Keep your eyes toward the heavens Don’t turn your back on the sun Through the fields of forever We’ll run Let me show you your future Let me show you the night Let me show you the dream-world Where the darkness delights Let me show you the madness Let me show you her doom Let me show you the tower Where she bathes in her gloom Let me show you the night Keep your eyes toward the heavens Don’t turn your back on the sun Through the fields of forever We’ll run Let me show you your future Let me show you the night Let me show you the dream-world Where the darkness delights Let me show you the madness Let me show you her doom Let me show you the tower Where she bathes in her gloom Let me show you the night I will show you the night
King Diamond - “Sleepless Nights” (concert video) I cannot sleep at night That’s what the day is for anyway And as the clock strikes midnight I hear “THEM” dancing at the graves Singing to my mind Killing the the pain Sleepless nights, sleepless nights I cannot sleep at night That’s what the day is for anyway And as the clock strikes midnight Only “THEY” can let us meet Even though she’s dead now I’ve got to see her again Sleepless nights, sleepless nights I cannot sleep at night I will do anything to see Missy again “THEN LET US MAKE YOU AN ETERNAL DEAL YOU WILL ATTEND TO THE GRAVES YOU’LL GIVE US THE HOUSE BACK AND KEEP IN MIND THAT WE ONLY COME HERE AT NIGHT” So we made the deal under the starry night And “AMON” belongs to “THEM” now I feel the dawn coming my way And as the sun breaks out at dawn I can’t hear “THEM” dance no more There are no voices Killing the pain Ohh…the pain…oohhh…the pain…
This is the theme of my teen years and my 20s! Suicidal Tendencies - “How Will I Laugh Tomorrow…” Here I sit and watch my world come crumbling down I cry for help, no one's around Silently screaming as I bang my head against the wall Seems like no one cares at all Always an emotion but how could I explain? Kinda like the scent of a rose but you can't explain The same with my pain, caught up in emotion, goes over my head Sometimes I got to think to myself is this life or death Am I living or am I dead? The clock keeps ticking but nothing else seems to change Problems never solved, just rearranged And then I think about all the times that I've had Some were good, most were bad I search for personality and I look for things I cannot see Love and peace flash through my mind, pain and hate is all I'd find Find no hope in nothing new and I never had a dream come true Lies and hate and agony through my eyes that's all I see If I'm gonna cry, will you wipe away my tears? And if I'm gonna die, Lord, please take away my fear Before I drown in sorrow, well, I just wanna say How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today? Today, today, when I can't even smile today Today, today, when I can't even smile today How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today? How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today? You think something is funny? Laugh at this So when I look outside my room, I see the world but not the reason What is done to me is not fair, you call it fate, I call it treason But I know not what to do, gimme a sign, I'll take whatever But if you want me, here I am, ain't gonna die forever And I tried to hold you but you just turned away And I tried to tell you but not a word I say Cried out so loudly but you just covered your ears I gave you all the signs but you ignored my tears So if you want me, here I am, I sit here, waiting for your decision But my body fights my mind and it is headed straight for a collision So am I getting near or am I still looking in all the wrong places? But the only thing that seems to change are the looks on the faces Doesn't anyone? Seems like no one cares at all I search for personality, I look for things I cannot see Love and peace flash through my mind, pain and hate is all I'd find Find no hope in nothing new and I never had a dream come true Lies and hate and agony, through my eyes that's all I see How will I laugh tomorrow? How will I laugh tomorrow? How will I laugh tomorrow? How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today? Today, today, when I can't even smile today? Today, today, when I can't even smile today? How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today? How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today?
Slayer - “War Ensemble” Propaganda death ensemble Burial to be Corpses rotting through the night In blood laced misery Scorched earth the policy The reason for the singe The pendulum it shaves the blade The strafing air blood raid infiltration push reserves Encircle the front lines Supreme art of strategy Playing on the minds Bombard till submission Take all to their graves Indication of triumph The number that are dead Sport the war, war support The sport is war, total war When victory's a massacre The final swing is not a drill It's how many people I can kill Sport the war, war support The sport is war, total war When victory is survival The final swing is not a drill It’s how many people I can kill Be dead friend from above When darkness falls Descend into my sights Your fallen walls Spearhead break through the lines Flanked all around Soldiers of attrition Forward their ground Regime prophetic age Old in its time Flowing veins run on through Deep in the Rhine Center of the web All battles scored What is our war crimes (Era forever more...war) Propaganda war ensemble Burial to be Bones shining in the night In blood laced misery Campaign of elimination Twisted psychology When victory is to survive And death is defeat Sport the war, war support The sport is total war When this end is a slaughter The final swing is not a drill It's how many people I can kill
Danzig - “Mother” Mother…tell your children not to come my way Tell your children not to hear my words What they mean, what they say, mother Mother…can you keep them in the dark for life Can you hide them from the waiting world Oh mother Father…I’m gonna take your daughter out tonight I’m gonna show her my world Oh father Not about to see your light But if you wanna find hell with me I can show you what it’s like Till you’re bleeding Not about to see your light But if you wanna find hell with me I can show what it’s… Mother…tell your children not to hold my hand Tell your children not to understand Oh mother Father…do you wanna bang heads with me Do you wanna feel everything Oh father Not about to see your light But if you wanna find hell with me I can show you what it’s like Till you’re bleeding Not about to see your light But if you wanna find hell with me I can show you what it’s like
Ghost - “Life Eternal” Can you hear me say your name forever? Can you see me longing for you forever? Would you let me touch your soul forever? Can you feel me longing for you forever, forever? I know the light grows darker down below But in your eyes it's gone before you know This is the moment of just letting go She said, if you had life eternal Can you hear me say your name forever? Can you see me longing for you forever? Would you let me touch your soul forever? Can you feel me longing for you forever, forever? We dance once more I feel your hands are cold Within your heart, a story to be told This is the moment of just letting go This is the moment of just letting go Can you hear me say your name forever? Can you see me longing for you forever, forever? Would you let me touch your soul forever? Can you feel me longing for you forever and ever? Forever, forever, forever (forever, forever, forever) Forever, forever, forever (forever, forever, forever) Forever, forever, forever (forever, forever, forever) Forever, forever, forever (forever, forever, forever) Forever, forever, forever (forever, forever, forever) Forever, forever, forever (forever, forever, forever) If you had life eternal?
King Diamond - “Help!!!” Help... help... can anybody help me now? Help... help... my mind is lying on the ground I don't know, I just don't know if I'm still alive I see the sun, the sun is up again, another day of just the same I'm slowly going mad, emptiness is all I have I see the sun, the sun is up again, another day of just the same Help... help... can anybody help me now? Help... help... my mind is lying on the ground In the mirrors on the walls, with the crosses standing tall I see misery take another hold of me I'm hanging on to a memory... I'm hanging on to myself The wine is turning sour, I'm longing for my final hour Never to be free, cursed for eternity I'm hanging on to a memory... I'm hanging on to me Be it God or Satan, whoever you are You're hiding in the shadows You cursed me with the Devil's mark I'm hanging to a memory... I'm hanging on to myself The wine is turning sour, I'm longing for my final hour Never to be free, cursed for eternity I'm hanging on to a memory... I'm hanging on to me Help... help... I'm slowly going mad Help... help... emptiness is all I have I smash the mirrors... the mirrors on the wall I have to smash them all before they crush my soul Help... blood... I'm bleeding now, Help... I'm bleeding bad I'm bleeding on the floor Help... help... I CAN’T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!! *CRASH*
