Lady in Black
by Uriah Heep
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]

She came to me one morning
One lonely sunday morning
Her long hair flowing
In the midwinter wind
I know not how she found me
For in darkness I was walking
And destruction lay around me
From a fight I could not win

She asked me name my foe then
I said the need within some men
To fight and kill their brothers
Without thought of love or god
And I begged her give me horses
To trample down my enemies
So eager was my passion
To devour this waste of life

But she wouldn’t think of battle that
Reduces men to animals
So easy to begin
And yet impossible to end
For she’s the mother of our men
Who counselled me so wisely then
I feared to walk alone again
And asked if she would stay

Oh lady lend your hand outright
And let me rest here at your side
Have faith and trust
In peace she said
And filled my heart with life
There is no strength in numbers
Have no such misconception
But when you need me
Be assured I won’t be far away

Thus having spoke she turned away
And though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until I saw
Her black coat disappear
My labour is no easier
But now I know I’m not alone
I find new heart each time
I think upon that windy day
And if one day she comes to you
Drink deeply from her words so wise
Take courage from her
As your prize
And say hello from me[/img]

White Queen (As It Began)
by Queen

So sad her eyes, smiling dark eyes
So sad her eyes, as it began

On such a breathless night as this
Upon my brow the lightest kiss
I walked alone
And all around the air did say
My lady soon will stir this way
In sorrow known
The white queen walks and the night grows pale
Stars of lovingness in her hair

Needing - unheard
Pleading - one word
So sad my eyes
She cannot see

How did thee fare, what have thee seen
The mother of the willow green
I call her name
And 'neath her window have I stayed
I loved the footsteps that she made
And when she came
White Queen how my heart did ache
And dry my lips no word would make
So still I wait

My goddess hear my darkest fear
I speak too late
It's for evermore I wait

Dear friend goodbye
No tears in my eyes
So sad it ends
As it began

Only For The Weak
By In Flames
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]

I can't tolerate your sadness
cause it's me you're drowning
I won't allow any hapiness
cause everytime you laugh, I feel so guilty

"I blame the needs that you feed
cause selfish eyes would not see"

Am I forced to have any regret?
I've become the lie, beutiful and free
In my righteous own mind
I adore and preach the insanity you gave

Sell me the infection, it's only for the weak
No need for sympathy, the misery that is me

I've lost the ability to paint the clouds
cause it's me you're draining
I'm stuck in this slow-motion dark day
cause everytime you run, I fall behind

"Far away is a place where I hide
the truth that have to be locked away"

And so I hear my voice again
The tale of the bitter man, here I am
Shake the silence and hear what it says
The tranquil pride that become the lie

Sell me the infection, it's only for the weak
No need for sympathy, the misery that is me
Sell me the infection, it's only for the weak
On bleeding knees I accept my fate

Lady in Red
by Chris de Burgh
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]

I’ve never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I’ve never seen you shine so bright
I’ve never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They’re looking for a little romance
Given half a chance
And I’ve never seen that dress you’re wearing
Or that highlights in your hair
That catch your eyes
I have been blind

The lady in red is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
There’s nobody here
It’s just you and me
It’s where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I’ll never forget the way you look tonight

I’ve never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I’ve never seen you shine so bright you were amazing
I’ve never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled it took my breath away
And I have never had such a feeling such a feeling
Of complete and utter love, as I do tonight

The lady in red is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
There’s nobody here
It’s just you and me
It’s where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I’ll never forget the way you look tonight

I never will forget the way you look tonight
The lady in red
My lady in red
I love You

Lady D'Arbanville
by Cat Stevens

My Lady D'Arbanville
Why do you sleep so still
I'll wake you tomorrow
And you will be my fill, yes you will be my fill

My Lady D'Arbanville
Why does it grieve me so
But your heart seems so silent
Why do you breathe so low, why do you breathe so low

My Lady D'Arbanville
Why do you sleep so still
I'll wake you tomorrow
And you will be my fill, yes you will be my fill

My Lady D'Arbanville
You look so cold tonight
Your lips feel like winter
Your skin has turned to white, your skin has turned to white

My Lady D'Arbanville
Why do you sleep so still
I'll wake you tomorrow
And you will be my fill, yes you will be my fill

My Lady D'Arbanville
Why do you grieve me so
But your heart seems so silent
Why do you breathe so low, why do you breathe so low

I loved you my lady
Though in your grave you lie
I'll always be with you
This rose will never die, this rose will never die

I loved you my lady
Though in your grave you lie
I'll always be with you
This rose will never die, this rose will never die

Her Ghost in the Fog
/Cradle of filth/

The Moon, she hangs like a cruel portrait
soft winds whisper the bidding of trees
as this tragedy starts with a shattered glass heart
and the Midnightmare trampling of dreams
But on, no tears please
Fear and pain may accompany Death
But it is desire that shepherds it's certainty
as We shall see..."

She was divinity's creature
That kissed in cold mirrors
A Queen of Snos
Far beyond compare
Lips attuned to symmetry
Sought Her everywhere
Dark liqoured eyes
An Arabian nightmare...

She shone on watercolours
Of my pondlife as pearl
Until those who couldn't have Her
Cut Her free of this World

That fateful Eve when..
The trees stank of sunset and camphor
Their lanterns chased phantoms and threw
An imquisitive glance, like the shadows they cast
On my love picking rue by the light of the moon

Putting reason to flight
Or to death as their way
They crept through woods mesmerized
By the taffeta Ley
Of Her hips that held sway
Over all they surveyed
Save a mist on the rise
(A deadly blessing to hide)
Her ghost in the fog

They raped left...
(Five men of God)
...Her ghost in the fog

Dawn discovered Her there
Beneath the Cedar's stare
Silk dress torn, Her raven hair
Flown to gown Her beauty bared
Was starred with frost, I knew Her lost
I wept 'til tears crept back to prayer

She'd sworn Me vows in fragrant blood
"Never to part
Lest jealous Heaven stole our hearts"

Then this I screamed:
"Come back to Me
I was born in love with thee
So why should fate stand inbetween?"

And as I drowned Her gentle curves
With dreams unsaid and final words
I espied a gleam trodden to earth
The Church bell tower key...

The village mourned her by the by
For She'd been a witch
their Men had longed to try
And I broke under Christ seeking guilty signs
My tortured soul on ice

A Queen of snow
Far beyond compare
Lips attuned to symmetry
Sought Her everywhere
Trappistine eyes
An Arabian nightmare...

She was Ersulie possessed
Of a milky white skin
My porcelain Yin
A graceful Angel of Sin

And so for Her...
The breeze stank of sunset and camphor
My lantern chased Her phantom and blew
Their Chapel ablaze and all locked in to a pain
Best reserved for judgement that their bible construed...

Putting reason to flight
Or to flame unashamed
I swept form cries
Mesmerized
By the taffeta Ley
Or Her hips that held sway
Over all those at bay
Save a mist on the rise
A final blessing to hide
Her ghost in the fog

And I embraced
Where lovers rot...
Her ghost in the fog

Her ghost in the fog

The Maiden and the Minstrel Knight
by Blind Guardian

The faithful crowd is gathered here
Soon they'll appear
The high and mighty show up the king
Is in doubts
"Apart from this beggar here
There's no one like you my dear
Tasting my lips
No one but you and him"

Round the fire everyone should sing
And praise the gracious queen
Round the fire everyone should dance
And we praise the handsome knight

Forever and ever we both will be one
The maiden, the fair and the young
Fell in love

Will you still wait for me?
Will you still cry for me?
Come and take my hand
Will you still wait for me?
Will you still cry for me?
Come and take my hand

There's a moment in life when all the years will pass by
And the eyes filled with tears we once shed
We recognize failures, the desperate cries
Of the ones who believed in our lies

Whenever I'll go you'll be with me
My first though and my last
Though we'll depart in bitterness
One day you'll understand

Carry on
Beloved maiden, mine
Carry on
Or we have to pay the price

Will you still wait for me?
Will you still cry for me?
Come and take my hand
Will you still wait for me?
Will you still cry for me?
Come and take my hand

Yesterday's memories and melodies
Are gone with the wind, so sad
Snow-white her hands and golden her hair
But she's not the one
Out in the emptiness where everything's pale
There is no sign of you, I'm alone
How I wish you would be here, I'm alone
Telling me it's alright, come rest (your head)
Come rest your head
Come rest your head
Come rest your head
Come rest your head

I'm alone and sadness reigns in my heart
As long as we live it won't go away
We are one but torn apart

Will you still wait for me?
Will you still cry for me?
Come and take my hand
Will you still wait for me?
Will you still cry for me?
Come and take my hand

Proudly it stands
Until the world's end
The victorious banner of love

The Light at the End of the World
by My Dying Bride

(otwór długi, aczkolwiek przepiękny - jak dla mnie w twórczości MDB zajmuje miejsce tuż za "Fot my falling angel" i tuż przed "Sear me III"; ukłon dla Tallusa za dobry gust)

An isle, a bright shining isle
stands forever, alone in the sea
Of rock and of sand and grass
and shale, the isle bereft of trees.

- Small. A speck in the wide blue
sea. 'Tis the last of all the land.
A dweller upon our lonesome
isle, the last, lonely man? -

By the Gods he is there to
never leave, to remain all his
life. His punishment for
evermore, to attend the eternal light.

The lighthouse, tall and brilliant
white, which stands at the end
of the world. Protecting ships
and sailors too, from rock they
could be hurled

Yet nothing comes and nothing
goes 'sept the bright blue sea.
Which stretches near and far
away, 't is all our man can see.

Though, one day, up high on
rock, a bird did perch and cry.
An albatross, he shot a glance,
and wondered deeply, why?

Could it be a watcher sent?
A curse sent from the Gods,
who sits and cries and stares at him,
the life that they have robbed.

Each year it comes to watch
over him, the creature from above.
Not a curse but a reminder of
the woman that he loved.

- Oh weary night, under stars,
he'd lay and gaze.
Up towards the moon and stars.
The suns dying haze.

Time and again, Orion's light
filled our man with joy.
Within the belt, he'd see his love,
remembering her voice -

The twinkle from the stars above
bled peace into his heart
As long as she looks down on him
he knows they'll never part

One day good, one day bad
The madness, the heat, the sun,
Out to sea, he spies upon land.
His beloved Albion.
Cliffs of white and trees of green
Children run and play,
'My home land' he cries and weeps,
why so far away?

Eyes sore and red. Filled with tears,
he runs towards the sea.
To risk his life, a worthy cause,
for home he would be.

Into the sea, deep and blue,
the waters wash him clean.
Awake. He screams. Cold with sweat.
And Albion a dream.

- Such is life upon the isle,
of torment and woe.
One day good. One day bad.
And some days, even hope.

The light at the end of the world
burns bright for mile and mile
Yet tends the man, its golden glow,
in misery all the while?

For fifty years he stands and waits,
atop the light, alone.
Looking down upon his isle
the Gods have made his home -

The watcher at the end of the world
through misery does defile.
Remembers back to that single night
and allows a tiny smile.

(His sacrifice was not so great,
he insists upon the world.
Again he would crime,
Again he would pay,
for one moment with the girl)

Her hair, long and black it shone,
The dark, beauty of her eyes,
Olive skin and warm embrace,
her memory never dies.

'Twas years ago, he remembers clear
the life they once did live.
Endless love and lust for life,
they promised each would give.

Alas, such love and laughter too,
was short as panting breath
For one dark night, her soul was kissed
by the shade of death.

(Agony, like none before,
was suffered by our man.)
who tends the light now burning bright
on the very last of land.
(Anger raged and misery too
like nothing ever before.)
He cursed the Gods and man and life,
and at his heart he tore.

- A deity felt sympathy
and threw our man a light
'Your woman you may see again,
for a single night. -

But think hard and well young man,
there is a price to pay:
to tend the light at the end of the world
is where you must stay.

Away from man and liufe and love.
Alone you will be.
On a tiny isle. A bright shining isle
in the middle of the sea.'

- 'I'll tend the light, for one more night
with the woman whom I love',
screamed the man, with tearful eyes,
to the deity above.

And so it was that very night
his lover did return.
To his arms and to their bed,
together they did turn.
In deepest love and lust and passion
entwined they did fall.
Lost within each other's arms
they danced (in lover's ball). -

- Long was the night filled with love.
For them the world was done.
Awoke he did to brightest light,
his woman and life had gone.

To his feet he leapt. To the sea he looked.
To the lighthouse on the stone.
The price is paid and from now on
he lives forever alone.

Fifty years have passed since then
and not a soul has he seen.
but his woman lives with him still
in every single dream.

'Tis sad to hear how young love has died
to know that, alone, someone has cried.
but memories are ours to keep.
To live them again, in our sleep.-

Cos z zupełnie innej beczki Smile

Trochę dla ożywienia podupadłego klimatu, troszkę z dedykacją dla Khali. [Uwaga - tego nie ma sensu czytać tylko na surowo. To jest zaśpiewane. Nie namawiam do kupowania całej plyty w ciemno, bo jest dziwna... bardzo... ale dorwijcie jakoś chociaż mp3kę. Kawałka można posłuchać [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]]

Samolot rozbił się przed startem
by Renata Przemyk (sł. Anna Saraniecka)

Samolot rozbił się przed startem
Na usta grubo kładę krem
Szampan za drogi w butli tlen
A słowo miłość gówno warte

Kupiłam wolność za szopeny
Wyrwałam zęba był nie mój
Właściciel dzwonił pięścią w stół
Myślał że szkło w karafkę zmieni

Do przyjaciółki krzyczę rano
Przestań być biała wzdłuż i wszerz
Na brzuchu obraz wieszam jej
U moich starych jest tak samo

Sąsiedzi mają dzisiaj chrzciny
Na klatce bigos drażni nos
Powiedz mi lustro pytam w głos:
Czy byłam dzieckiem zeszłej zimy?

Ktoś przed kościołem przypiął plakat
Że pod Wrocławiem stał się cud
Dwie głowy miało zamiast nóg
Dobrze że w piątek koniec świata

Stare wiedźmy się popiły
W dziewczęcych twarzach radość lśni
Ja też się śmieję brzuch mi drży
Zabierz mnie w górę moja głowo

Samolot rozbił się przed startem
Wyrwałam zęba był nie mój
Szampan za drogi tani ból
A słowo miłość ...

Jarred

A teraz moja piosenka przewodnia...
Swoja drogą to klasyka.

There are no unlockable doors
There are no unwinable wars
There are no unrightable wrongs
Or unsignable songs

There are no unbeatable odds
There are no believable gods
There are no unnameable names
Shall I say it again, yeah

There are no impossible dreams
There are no invisible seams
Each night when the day is through
I don’t ask much

I just want you
I just want you

There are no uncriminal crimes
There are no unrhymable rhymes
There are no identical twins or
Forgivable sins

There are no incurable ills
There are no unkillable thrills
One thing and you know it’s true,
I don’t ask much

I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you

I’m sick and tired of bein’ sick and tired
I used to go to bed so high and wired, yeah - yeah, yeah, yeah
I think I’ll buy myself some plastic water
I guess I should have married lennon’s daughter, yeah - yeah, yeah, yeah

There are no unachievable goals
There are no unsaveable souls
No legitimate kings or queens, do
You know what I mean? yeah

There are no indisputable truths
And there ain’t no fountain of youth
Each night when the day is through,
I don’t ask much

I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I just want you
I just want you,
Hey, yeah
I just want you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I just want you, hey
I just want you
I just want you

Coma - Pierwsze wyjście z mroku

przed świtem obudziłem się by żyć
wplątany w cudzą pościel, w cudze sny
pomiędzy pożądaniem, a rozkoszą tkwi dolina nocy
skazany na ponury miejski zgrzyt
osnuty prześcieradłem brudnej mgły
chcąc ukryć się przed sobą samym
chlałem wódę w dusznym barze

lecz przecież Bóg dobrze wie
dlaczego dławi mnie wstręt
dlaczego strach nabiera mocy i zniewala rozum
na pewno każdy choć raz
utracił wiarę jak ja
obym nie bliżej stał
sennego dnia w królestwie mroku

prorocy porzygali się i śpią
poeci umierają w grobach strof
anioły śmierdzą potem, żrą kiełbasę
mają w dupie żywych
zginęła w niepokoju wielkich miast
osnuta huraganem durnych spraw
maleńka tajemnica - bycia w ciszy
lub po prostu bycia

ginie nadzieja i moc
rośnie apetyt na zło
zwyciężą ci, co nienawiścią silni
szydzą z innych
nad miastem wyrósł jak krzyk
i zamknął drogę do gwiazd
ogromny wstyd i strach przed ciszą
eteryczną

mimo że zgubiłem się
mimo że zabrnąłem w mrok
wymieszałem z błotem krew
ocaleję mimo to
trzeba uprzytomnić sobie że
nawet kiedy wszystko straci sens
znajdziesz przestrzeń gdzie
wielka wiara tłumi lęk

i jeżeli tak ma być, że pomimo wszystko
ja wydostanę się
to chyba warto
wierzyć

mimo że...

Strogonov

Trochę klasyki:

Pink Floyd - High Hopes

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the long road and on down the causeway
Do they still meet there by the cut
There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

****

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
go down this road we've been so many times

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river

Forever and ever
"Hey, is that Charlie? yes... Hello Charlie... great"

Atanamir

Enya - May it Be:
tekst piosenki:

May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness fall
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home

Mornie utulie
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantie
A promise lives within you now

May it be the shadows call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun

Mornie utulie
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantie
A promise lives within you now x2

Edyta Geppert - Sen o życiu

Te marzenia którym skrzydeł brak
Usta pełne pustych słów
Drogowskazy które stoją tam
Gdzie nie było nigdy dróg

Czas wędruje po manowcach gdzieś
Nie wiadomo zmierzch czy świt
Może wszystko to jest tylko snem
Który właśnie nam się śni

Może świat śni się nam
Może my się śnimy komuś
Jak naprawdę jest nie wiadomo
Tego jeszcze nie wie nikt

Czy to świat śni się nam
Czy to my się śnimy sobie
Nikt niestety nam nie odpowie
Tego jeszcze nie wie nikt

Te starania by zostawić ślad
Na ruchomych piaskach dni
Śmieszna wiara że zdołamy wpław
Do szczęśliwych dotrzeć wysp

W zapytania ślad układa się
Codzienności szary dym
Może wszystko to jest tylko snem
Który właśnie nam się śni

Może świat śni się nam...
