>>> I think that I missed...

Empty Eyes 
A Bombshell in Parliament

Sometimes,
<growl> sometimes,
this is how I feel
<growl> inside

Underneath my skin
peel back the flesh
drain the blood
<growl> my beating heart

No tears
left to cry
<growl> empty eyes
<growl> all alone

Empty eyes all alone
empty eyes all alone
<growl> empty eyes all alone

Sometimes,
<growl> sometimes,
this is how I feel
<growl> inside

You left
walked out the door
<growl> broken promises
<growl> in your wake

No tears
left to cry
<growl> empty eyes
<growl> all alone

Empty eyes all alone
empty eyes all alone
<growl> empty eyes all alone

<scream> No tears
<scream> left to cry
<scream> empty eyes
<scream> all alone

Empty eyes all alone
empty eyes all alone
<growl> empty eyes all alone

<scream> No tears
<scream> left to cry
<scream> empty eyes
<scream> all alone <drag>

All alone <ballad drag>

_{... my calling as an emocore lyricist. XD}

>>> Lend me an ear...

Hear Me
A Bombshell In Parliament

Glancing at the phone,
Waiting for a call,
Hoping for a text,
That you know oh.

That you know oh.

That you know

<growl> Will never come.

Where'd we go?
Do you think of me so?

<growl> Too late, I'm sure
<growl> For heaven's sake
<growl> You know I'm sorry
<growl> But you'll never
<scream> Never
<growl, drag> Hear me.
<scream> Hear me!

Looking at the sky,
Wishing for a flight,
Dreaming of fireworks,
That you know oh.

That you know oh.

That you know

<growl> Will never come.

What'd we do?
Do you miss me so?

<growl> Too late, I'm sure
<growl> For heaven's sake
<growl> You know I'm sorry
<growl> But you'll never
<scream> Never
<growl, drag> Hear me.
<scream> Hear me!

Lying in my bed,
Crying for a smile,
Screaming for a heart,
That you know oh.

That you know oh.

That you know

<growl> Will never come.

How'd we know?
Do you hate me so?

<growl> Too late, I'm sure
<growl> For heaven's sake
<growl> You know I'm sorry
<growl> But you'll never
<scream> Never
<growl, drag> Hear me.
<scream> Hear me!

<growl> You'll never
<scream> Never
<growl, drag> Hear me.
<scream> Hear me!

<growl> You'll never
<scream> Never
<growl, drag> Hear me.
<scream> Hear me!

<growl, abrupt> Can you hear me sing?

Lyrics:

I go ooh ooh, you go ah ah
L-l-l-la, ah l-l-l-la
I can la, la, la, l-la, la
I wanna, wanna, wanna get, get, get what I want, don't stop

Give me, give me, give me what you got, got
'Cause I can't wait, wait, wait anym-more, more, more
Don't even talk about the consequence
'Cause right now you're the only thing
That's making any sense to me

And I don't give a damn what they say, what they think, think
'Cause you're the only one who's on my mind
I'll never ever let you leave me
I'll try to stop time for ever, never wanna hear you say goodbye
Bye, bye

I feel so untouched and I want you so much
That I just can't resist you, it's not enough to say that I miss you
I feel so untouched right now, need you so much
Somehow I can't forget you, I've gone crazy from the moment I met you

Untouched
And I need you so much

See you, breathe you, I want to be you
Ah l-l-la, ah l-l-l-la
You can take, take, t-take, take time, time
To live, live the way you gotta, gotta live your life

Give me, give me, give me all of you, you, don't be scared
I'll see you through the lonely nights of wanting more, more, more
Don't even think about what's right or wrong or wrong or right
'Cause in the end it's only you and me

And no one else is gonna be around
To answer all the questions left behind
And you and I are meant to be so even if the world falls down today
You've still got me to hold you up, up
And I will never let you down, down

I feel so untouched and I want you so much
That I just can't resist you, it's not enough to say that I miss you
I feel so untouched right now, need you so much
Somehow I can't forget you, I've gone crazy from the moment I met you

Untouched, un
Untouched
Untouched, un
Untouched

Untouched, un
Ah l-l-la, ah l-l-l-la
Untouched

I feel so untouched and I want you so much
That I just can't resist you, it's not enough to say that I miss you
I feel so untouched right now, need you so much

Somehow I can't forget you, I've gone crazy from the moment I met you

I feel so untouched and I want you so much
That I just can't resist you, it's not enough to say that I miss you
I feel so untouched right now, need you so much
Somehow I can't forget you, I've gone crazy from the moment I met you

Honor the Fallen
A Bombshell in Parliament

In trampled fields
through the dirty mud
and floods of blood
under torn flags.

Hot lead flies free
shells scream down
explosions bloom
flesh torn apart.

Raise the flags
paint them red
black stripes
red lines.

They rose up
felt it in their bones
as they fell
they died for us.

They died for YOU!

Honour the dead
Remember the fallen
Feel it in your bones
NEVER FORGET!

We died for YOU!

In cloudy skies
through the killer flak
and swarms of steel
under torn flags.

Hot lead flies free
down in flames
bombs fall like rain
flesh torn apart.

Raise the flags
paint them red
black stripes
red lines.

They rose up
felt it in their bones
as they fell
they died for us.

They died for YOU!

Honour the dead
Remember the fallen
Feel it in your bones
NEVER FORGET!

We died for YOU!

Storm-tossed seas
through the deep blue
within iron hulls
under torn flags.

Hot lead flies free
torpedoes shot
decks holed and sunk
flesh torn apart.

Raise the flags
paint them red
black stripes
red lines.

They rose up
felt it in their bones
as they fell
they died for us.

They died for YOU!

Honour the dead
Remember the fallen
Feel it in your bones
NEVER FORGET!

NEVER FORGET
WHO DIED FOR YOU
NEVER FORGET

NEVER FORGET
WHO DIED FOR YOU
NEVER FORGET

NEVER FORGET
WHO DIED FOR YOU
NEVER FORGET
WE DIED FOR YOU

We died for YOU!

... your fallen heroes.

So Many Miles
A Bombshell In Parliament

I have promises to keep 
and miles to go before I sleep
but tears flow and eyes weep
with miles to go before I sleep.

Tired and drained so deep
and miles to go before I sleep
the machines steadily beep
with miles to go before I sleep.

There is no use for tomorrow
and none for yesterday
but it's all for the morrow
and all through today!

Across the sky minutes creep
as feet drag, as blood seeps
miles to go before I sleep (So many miles!)
so many before I sleep (So many miles!)

Tired and drained so deep
and miles to go before I sleep
the machines steadily beep
with miles to go before I sleep.

There is no use for tomorrow
and none for yesterday
but it's all for the morrow
and all through today!

Across the sky minutes creep
as feet drag, as blood seeps
miles to go before I sleep (So many miles!)
so many before I sleep. (So many miles!)

So many miles! (So many miles!)
So many miles! (So many miles!)
So many miles! (So many miles!)

I have promises to keep 
and miles to go before I sleep
but tears flow and eyes weep
with miles to go before I sleep.

So many miles! (So many miles!)
So many miles! (So many miles!)
So many miles! (So many miles!)

In the end,
                    BURY.
                             ME.
                                 DEEP.

... of morose lyrics.

>> Sing a song or two...

The following two lyric sets were written/composed for the small group role-playing the members of the Gaia's Tears Rock Band pack. This was just for flavour and fun.

Enjoy.

Our Mother

Gaia's Tears

Spoken:
Can You Hear it?
Our Mother, She's Crying...
Can You Hear It?
Our Mother, She's Weeping...
Can You Hear It?
Our Mother, She's Crying Out for Help.

Neglected, Uncared for, Unloved
By Her Children, and Generations beyond
None Believed, None Saw the Truth for What it was
Living In Their Own World,
Cocooned By Lies

Can You Hear it?
Our Mother's Cries
Can You Hear It?
Our Mother's Weeping
Can You Hear It?
Our Mother's Crying Out for Help

It Came Too Late, When They'd Stopped Running
Her Skin was scarred, Body Milked Dry
Battles Upon Battles, Wars Upon Wars
Her Children, They Bled,
For Their Own Greed

Can You Hear it?
Our Mother's Cries
Can You Hear It?
Our Mother's Weeping
Can You Hear It?
Our Mother's Crying Out for Help

Listen With Your Heart
Listen With All Your Might
Can You Hear it On the Wind?
Can You Hear it On the Waves?
... Our Mother's Crying Out For Help

Can You Hear it?
Our Mother's Cries
Can You Hear It?
Our Mother's Weeping
Can You Hear It?
Our Mother's Crying Out for Help

A New World (Into Gaia's Arms)
Gaia's Tears

Gaia's arms...

Gaia's arms...

S: No one believed her

No one imagined it was true

No one could see her

winter haven coming into view

F: She says she's seen the land beyond

She said she's walked through Babylon

She felt the cold beneath her feet

And time stood still where the winter won't sleep

S: (where the winter won't sleep)

Chorus
S: I've seen a new world...
F: like nothing before...
just step through the door right
S: Into a new world...
F: Into Gaia's arms
S: I've seen a new world...
F: like nothing before...
just step through the door right
S: Into a new world...
F: Into Gaia's arms

S: All hope was fading, a darkness far beyond their might

But love came crusading on the wings of healing sacrifice

F: She gave them something to believe

Came back in all Her majesty

She conquered evil through Her love and handed them the land they were dreaming of S: (love came crusading)

Chorus
S: I've seen a new world...
F: like nothing before...
just step through the door right
S: Into a new world...
F: Into Gaia's arms
S: I've seen a new world...
like nothing before...
just step through the door right
S: Into a new world...
F: Into Gaia's arms

F: I never dreamed it but it seems that She's alive again

Shaking Her mane She's just the same as I remembered Her

The spell is weakening with every breath She's breathing in

S&F: And when She roars they can't ignore that She's our queen again

S: (There, just beyond the moonlight)

S: I've seen, I've seen, I've seen a new world...

F: Into a new world...

Into Gaia's arms

Chorus
S: I've seen a new world...
F: like nothing before...
just step through the door right
S: Into a new world...
F: Into Gaia's arms
S:I've seen a new world...
F:like nothing before...
just step through the door right
S: Into a new world...
F: Into Gaia's arms

S: Into a new world...

S&F: Gaia's arms...

Note:

* played and sung similarly to Toby Mac's "New World" track.

* slightly modified from Toby Mac's "New World" lyrics.

* S : Siobahn, opera-like intonation.

* F : Faolan, rap feel.

... of sixpence and a pocketful of Gaia.

>>> I'll never let you fall...

This track has been bouncing around the inside on my head, repeatedly, in a random pattern. Especially the chorus. Strangely enough, this doesn't worry me. Probably because that it's pretty normal.

In my case, anyway.

Even if it has me wanting to mosh like a fiend.

Yup, pretty much average.

Just normal.

Really.

Anyways, lucky me found the music video on YouTube. So in true unselfish fashion (No, not just 'coz I'm crazy. Really!), I'm sharing this with whoever wanders across this way. Hope you lot enjoy it.

WOT-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

... right outta my head, just slide slowly out.

>>> Strangely disturbing...

... yet enthralling and somewhat mellow.

>>> Friends and hope...

... are just tools for users.

>>> Only the Gods...

... can judge me.

>>> The Rising Sun meets...

... the Union Core.

>>> Have I ever...

... mentioned how much I love bagpipes?

>>> I want to...

... to ride my bike.

>>> Time will tell...

... as time is all we ever have.

>>> May our Dreams be true...

To all my friends, you are the stars that make up the galaxy that is my life and the stuff that only dreams can be made of, so this is dedicated to all of you. May all your dreams come true and the nightmares end. Amen.

... so we can escape the Nightmares.

>>> Strangely worried...

... and wide awake.

>>> Family is...

... as family does.

>>> Sometimes I run for miles...

... and sometimes you crawl into my head.

>>> In the mood...

... to kick up a fuss.

>>> Sing it loud...

... even if it's not our song.
