If you want to find us in a hurry
Oh, let tell you, don't you worry
I can say, here today
We shall stay forever

I move as fast as I can
I like to get around
I'm crazy like a madman
My feet don't touch the ground

I move amongst the night life
And they just step aside
'Cause when they see me coming
They know I'm running wild

Dead or alive there's nothing
That bothers me at all
I'll take on all comers
They back off or they fall

They raise their hands to stop me
I laugh and I defy
'Cause what's the point of living
Unless you're living wild

No chains can hold me down
I always break away
I never hear society
Tell me what to do or say

I taste the life that pleases ME
And raise a storm for all the world to see

I never stumble, never fall
Never stop for rest
I rebel but I walk tall
And I DEMAND respect

I move amongst the night life
And they just step aside
'Cause when they see me coming
They know I'm running wild



Running Wild - Judas Priest

If you kill me, it's self defense
If I kill you, then I call it vengeance
Spit in your eye
I WILL DEFY
You'll be afraid when I call out your name

Run, fight
To breathe
It's gonna be tough

Now you see me
Now you don't
Break the walls
I'm coming out

Not a prisoner, I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going

I'm not a number, I'm a free man
Live my life where I want to
You'd better scratch me
From your black book
'Cause I'll run rings around you....

Don't bogart that joint, my friend
Pass it over to me
Don't bogart that joint, my friend
Pass it over to me

Roll another one
Just like the other one
You've been hangin' on to it
And I sure would like a hit.....

Sittin' in the classroom thinkin' it's a drag
Listening to the teacher rap just ain't my bag
When two bells ring, you know it's my cue
I'm gonna meet the boys on floor number two

Smokin' in the boys room
Smokin' in the boys room
Now teacher, don't you fill me up with your rules
Everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school....

They all know your name
They know you're a star
You've been around forever
And you know who you are

They buy all your records
They come to the gigs
They wanna see you rock and roll

Your life is full of action
Your life is full of sound
A rock n roll magic man
Stamp your feet big man in town

You know you're an idol
The leader of the gang
A juvenile's hero

Turn on the lights
There's no end in sight

Flash rockin' man
Flash rockin' man

They want to feel your volume
They want to live your life
They want to be like you
Every day and every night

You're walking down the alleys
You're a famous man
Immortal so damn holy

Turn on the lights
Show us tonight, yes, tonight

Flash rockin' man.....

Your sister's gone out, she's on a date
And you just sit at home and masturbate
Your phone is gonna ring soon, but you just can't wait
For that call

So you stand on the corner in your new English clothes
And you look so polished from your hair down to your toes
Ah, but still your fingers gonna pick your nose
After all.....

How in the world you gonna see
Laughin' at fools like me
What on earth do you think you are?
A superstar?
Well, right you are

Well, we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah, we all shine on
On and on and on.....

The light is strong and the man is weak
And the world walks in between
So rise above on the wings of love
See and let yourself be seen
See and let yourself be seen

So fill your cup and drink it on up
For tomorrow never comes
If you wield the rod, answer to your God
But me I'll be up and gone
I'll be up and gone, gone
I'll be up and gone...…

Kev thought I'd join in a bit here. This is a break up song from the series Nashville.
Called Burn to Dark
When the desert sinks away into the desert sand
When the ocean swallows up the city streets
When the morning sun forgets to rise
And the skys no longer blue
Honey that's when I quit missing you

When that shot glass on the shelf don't remind me of
All the good times and bad ones too
When I forgive myself for all I did and didn't do
Honey that's when I quit missing you

When all the stars turn to dark and fall

Will I forget your name as the years go by
When memories start to fade as memories do
I may regret forever what I know I had to Lose
But that don't mean I won't be missing you.

Now I have a tear in my beer! :-p Good to see you, Rubytops! I was starting to think I had scared everyone away with my violent, satanic outbursts. :-( Talk about a major influence in my life, these guys laid down the global law like nobody's business. All hail!


And if you feel that you can't go on
And your will's sinkin' low
Just believe and you can't go wrong
In the light you will find the road (you will find the road)...



In the Light - Led Zeppelin


Of course, it's always lots of fun to sing the last line of that verse like this - "In the light you will find some smoke (you will find some smoke..." I wouldn't lie to ya, try it out and see what you think, you guys! :-)

Over the past few weeks I really have enjoyed Riverside's "Discard your Fears" song from their "Love, Fear and the Time Machine" album.

It is rather positive and definitely uplifts me during the resolution month of January! Whole album is great.

"Discard your fear of the unknown
Be here and now
Just find yourself in peace
Try to free your mind
Wake up
Get unstuck
Let it go
Send your shame to nevermore"

I don't know, man that sounds pretty violent and satanic. :-( No, I'm just kidding around. That's probably what most people think about the raging demonic hellfire stuff that I like. :-p Here's my version of the chorus of a popular Grateful Dead tune that many of you probably know, and that took me hours and hours to rewrite...….

I will get high
I will get high
I will get high
I will get fried :-)

When we went to see Disturbed play live, I was hoping they'd play at least one of my top five favourite songs of theirs - imagine how happy I was when they played all five! At number five, we have "Stricken" :

You walk on like a woman in suffering
Won't even bother now to tell me why
You come alone, letting all of us savor the moment
Leaving me broken another time
You come on like a bloodstained hurricane
Leave me alone, let me be this time
You carry on like a holy man pushing redemption
I don't want to mention, the reason I know

That I am stricken and can't let you go
When the heart is cold, there's no hope, and we know
That I am crippled by all that you've done
Into the abyss will I run

You don't know what your power has done to me
I want to know if I'll heal inside
I can't go on with a holocaust about to happen
Seeing you laughing another time
You'll never know why your face has haunted me
My very soul has to bleed this time
Another hole in the wall of my inner defenses
Leaving me breathless, the reason I know

That I am stricken and can't let you go
When the heart is cold, there's no hope, and we know
That I am crippled by all that you've done
Into the abyss will I run

Into the abyss will I run
You walk on like a woman in suffering
Won't even bother now to tell me why
You come alone, letting all of us savor the moment
Leaving me broken another time
You come on like a bloodstained hurricane
Leave me alone, let me be this time
You carry on like a holy man pushing redemption
I don't want to mention, the reason I know

That I am stricken and can't let you go
When the heart is cold, there's no hope, and we know
That I am crippled by all that you've done
Into the abyss will I run

Into the abyss will I run
I can't let you go
Yes I am stricken and can't let you go

Number four is 'The Sound of Silence', and Number three is 'Down With The Sickness', which I can't post because it has a couple of naughty words. Number two is 'The Light', which I've posted excerpts from before, but here's the whole thing :

Like an unsung melody
The truth is waiting there for you to find it
It's not a blight, but a remedy,
A clear reminder of how it began
Deep inside your memory
You turned away. As you struggled to find it
You heard it call as you walked away
A voice of calm from within the silence
And for what seemed an eternity
You waited. Hoping it would call out again
You heard the shadow beckoning
Then your fear seemed to keep you blinded
You held your guard as you walked away

When you think all is forsaken,
Listen to me now
Hope's not forsaken
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light

An unforgivable tragedy
The answer isn't where you think you'd find it
Prepare yourself for a reckoning
For when your world seems to crumble again
Don't be afraid, don't turn away
You're the one who can redefine it
Don't let hope become a memory
Let the shadow permeate your mind and
Reveal the thoughts that were tucked away
So that the door can be opened again
Within your darkest memories
Lies the answer if you dare to find it
Don't let hope become a memory

When you think all is forsaken,
Listen to me now
Hope's not forsaken
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light

Sickening, weakening
Don't let another somber pariah consume your soul
You need strengthening, toughening
It takes a bit of dark to rekindle the fire burning in you
Ignite the fire within you

When you think all is forsaken,
Listen to me now
Hope's not forsaken
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light

Don't ignore, listen to me now
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness
Can show you the light

And my number one, a controversial song about lead singer David Draiman's own real-life experience of his first serious girlfriend committing suicide, 'Inside The Fire' :

Devin
Won't go to heaven
She's just another lost soul,
About to be mine again
Leave her
we will receive her
It is beyond your control
will you ever meet again

Devin
One of eleven
Who had been rendered unwhole
As a little child,
she was taken
and then forsaken
you will remember it all
Let it fill your mind again

[Chorus:]
Devin lies beyond this portal
take the word of one immortal
Give your soul to me
For eternity
release your life
to begin another time with her
End your grief with me
there's another way
release your life
take your place inside the fire with her

Sever
Now and forever
you're just another lost soul about to be mine again
see her, you'll never free her
you must surrender it all
If you'd like to meet again

Fire
For your desire
As she begins to turn cold for the final time
you will shiver
till you deliver
you will remember it all
Let it fill your mind again

[Chorus]

Take it away, yeah!

Give your soul to me
For eternity
release your life
to begin another time with her
End your grief with me
there's another way
release your life
take your place inside the fire with her

Devin
One of eleven
Who had been rendered unwhole
As a little child
she was taken,
and then forsaken
you will remember it all
Let it fill your mind again, man

I also really love this one; more bands should make songs about werewolves, in my opinion!

The Animal by Disturbed :

Now!

I can feel the animal inside
My resolve is weakening
Pounding at the doors of my mind
It's nearly overpowering
I cannot begin to describe
The hunger that I feel again
Run if you intend to survive
For the beast is coming to life
Taking form in the glimmer in this tainted moonlight
Death approaches on this night

For the animal's soul is mine
We will be completed right before your eyes
I have no control this time
And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight

I can hear it calling again
The primal need is filling me
Changes are about to begin
And now my blood is boiling
I can see the fear in your eyes
But you can't bring yourself to scream
Time to shed the mortal disguise
For the beast is coming to life
Taking form in the glimmer of this tainted moonlight
Death approaches on this night

For the animal's soul is mine
We will be completed right before your eyes
I have no control this time
And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight

We begin the hunt and I
Feel the power course, as the creatures take flight
For the kill is close and I will be satisfied
For the smell of fear tonight
Wakes an ancient lust that will not be denied
You're mine

For the animal's soul is mine
We will be completed right before your eyes
I have no control this time
And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight

For the animal's soul is mine
And the world around will never hear your cries
An unholy crime
And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight

Under my skin and into my bones
I feel insanity begin to make its home
Into my vision and through my mouth
Somebody's working me to get me all strung out :-)

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
I'm just a little crazy

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
I'm just a little crazy...…

Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock and roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock and roll, it's here to stay....
