[Bürger Schmerz]

All fled, all done,
so lift me on the pyre;
The feast is over
and the lamps expire.

[Sir Midnight]

The day is gone, and all its sweets are gone!
Sweet voice, sweet lips, soft hand and softer breast,
Warm breath, light whisper, tender semi-tone,
Bright eyes, accomplished shape, and languorous waist!

Faded the flower and all its budded charms,
Faded the sight of beauty from my eyes,
Faded the shape of beauty from my arms,
Faded the voice, warmth, whiteness, paradise -
Vanished unseasonably at shut of eve,
When the dusk holiay - or holinight -
Of fragrant-curtained love begins to weave
The woof of darkness thick, for hid delight;
But, as I've read love's missal through today,
He'll let me sleep, seeing I fast and pray.

[Sir Midnight]

Auf Deutsch:

Der Tag und seine Süße sind dahin:
Haar, Mund und Brüste, warmer Atemstoß,
Gewisper, Halbton, zart verwirrter Sinn,
Aug, feiner Wuchs und lässig weicher Schoß.
Fort sind die Blumen und ihr Knospenschwall,
Fort schöner Schein aus meines Auges Verlies,
Fort schöner Stoff aus meiner Arme Wall,
Fort Weiß und Wärme, Schoß und Paradies...
Vorbei des Abends End: noch vor der Zeit,
Da Feiertag, nein, Feiernacht zur Zier
Der Liebe Dichter webt die Dunkelheit;
Das schwarze Zelt für heimliche Begier.
So fromm wie heut dient ich der Liebe nie -
Drumm komm, o Schlaf, denn sieh: ich fast und knie!

[Remy]

Yes, autumn´s here again…
To put all forms of life to an end
Death has taken over and slowly fades the light away
The deadly shadows fall…
And the bleeding sun sinks down below
The first flakes of snow guide me on my last pathway

Alive no more… what once was green has turned to red
Leaves start their fall… gray with the whiteness of what´s dead

The wintry frost comes crawling
Freezing all life that´s on its way
The first dead leaves come falling,
Hovering in the air with the rain

[Sir Midnight]

No smell of death - there shall be no death, moan, moan;
Moan, Cybele, moan; für thy pernicious Babes
Have changed a god into a shaking palsy.
Moan, brethren, moan, for I have no strength left;
Weak as the reed - weak - feeble as my voice -
Oh, oh, the pain, the pain of feebleness.
Moan, moan, for still I thaw...

[Peter Osteried]

The little poets sing of little things:
Hope, cheer, and faith, small queens and puppet kings;
Lovers who kissed and then were made as one,
And modest flowers waving in the sun.

The mighty poets write in blood and tears
And agony that, flame-like, bites and sears.
They reach their mad blind hands into the night,
To plumb abysses dead to human sight;
To drag from gulfs where lunacy lies curled,
Mad, monstrous nightmare shapes
To blast the world.

[FENRIS]

Our sun is set, our day is done, I'm left here wondering
Is this the end, my final words to you
Day turned to night and now you're gone, I'm left here pondering
Can this be true, are we really through

You were the wind beneath my wings, taught me how to fly
With you I lived among the kings, how could this ever die

So I say farewell, I'm yours forever,
and I Always Will Be
We were one, we were all, we were the only
Future full of hope, nothing could stand in our way
But dreams can change, visions fall, I feel so lonely
I would walk through fire for just one more day

You were the angel of my life, taught me to be free
Now I'm a stranger in your eyes, walls are closing in on me

So I say farewell, I'm yours forever
And I Always Will Be
Missing you, in my heart you are The One
And you Always Will Be

[Koenig Kups]

Yea -- we have thought of royal robes and red.
Had purple dreams of words we utterèd;
Have lived once more the moment in the brain
That stirred the multitude to shout again.
All done, all fled, and now we faint and tire --
The Feast is over and the lamps expire!

Yea -- we have launched a ship on sapphire seas,
And felt the steed between the gripping knees;
Have breathed the evening when the huntsman brought
The stiffening trophy of the fevered sport --
Have crouched by rivers in the grassy meads
To watch for fish that dart amongst the weeds.
All well, all good -- so hale from sun and mire --
The Feast is over and the lamps expire!

Yet -- we have thought of Love as men may think,
Who drain a cup because they needs must drink;
Have brought a jewel from beyond the seas
To star a crown of blue anemones.
All fled, all done -- a Cæsar's brief desire --
The Feast is over and the lamps expire!

Yea -- and what is there that we have not done,
The Gods provided us 'twixt sun and sun?
Have we not watched an hundred legions thinned,
And crushed and conquered, succorèd and sinned?
Lo -- we who moved the lofty gods to ire --
The Feast is over and the lamps expire!

Yea -- and what voice shall reach us and shall give
Our earthly self a moment more to live?
What arm shall fold us and shall come between
Our failing body and the grasses green?
And the last heart that beats beneath this head --
Shall it be heard or unrememberèd?
All dim, all pale -- so lift me on the pyre --
The Feast is over and the lamps expire!

-- Viola Garvin (von der sich Howard offenkundig ziemlich inspirieren ließ)

[FENRIS]

Sworn by the crown
I lead a crusade
Fight for belief to be one

Out in the field
Fearless and cold
Building the road to my Calvary

Strong is my steel
Dark is my mind
Carmine the ground that I tread

Faith in my god
Keeps me alive
But when does my faith turn to doubt

Silently watching the rain
Carving the earth on my grave
Lord you know that I prayed
One for the glory
And one for the souls that I've slain

[The second M]

:confused:
Was geht den hier ab?

[TomQuarz]

Offenbar ist jemand verblichen.
R.I.P.
Requiescat in pace. Rest in peace.


I hope all will be well.
But I cannot choose but weep
t'think they'd lay him in ice-cold ground.

[Alex_Elder]

Frag ich mich auch gerade. :confused:

[Sir Midnight]

Zur allgemeinen Info: Bürger Schmerz ist tot. Ja, der große launische Spaßmacher und allseits beliebte Rumstänkerer ist von uns gegangen. Der, der sich dahinter verbarg, aber nicht. Bin mir sicher, dass die von ihrem Tarnnamen gelangweilte Person schon bald unter anderem Namen für Laune sorgen wird.

I want to run, I want to hide,
I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside,
I want to reach out - and touch the flame
where the streets have no name.

Pet Shop Boys zählen nicht.

[Lars Sudmann]

Black is everything
Pull me right out of reality
The emptiness that’s me

Black is everything
Put me right out of my misery
Do what you want to me

Life outside goes on
The World is crashing inside out
Gently I can offer him just

I raise the Space I raise the memory
Missing time
What I don’t know will never hurt me
Missing time
Can not forget can not remember
Missing time
Disinformation is forever
Missing time

Black is everything
I’ve got the answer right in front of me
It’s everything I see

Time outside moves on
The world I know is crumbling down
Playing to a lost sensation

I raise the Space I raise the memory
Missing time
What I don’t know will never hurt me
Missing time
Can not forget can not remember
Missing time
Disinformation is forever
Missing time

Missing time
Missing time

Hab mich ja schon gefragt, wer der Erste sein wird, der die andächtige Harmonie durchbrechen wird...

GLÜCKWUNSCH,@M! :D :p
------------

Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and A B C's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.

Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climb were just seasons
Out of time......

Goodbye Papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along.

Goodbye Papa its hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them I'll be there.

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone.

Seasons In The Sun

[Ghost Rider]

We are... here, to lay this boy to rest
And so shall you.... be put to death
Beware of the 6 - 6 - 6
So morbid and twisted
I'm sick sick sick
Mad infidistant
Dark like sun when it eclipses
Grab your crucifixes, and run

From the hellfire being
the big red machine
head gets chopped in the guilatine,burned in kerosene
now u will believe in me unthemed
by any means necessary
back to the cemetery

[kevin smith]

mein freund der baum ... ist tot!

weiter weiss ich (zum glück) nicht!

[Vampire Hunter D]

@ TBA

Sorry, aber die Pet Shop Boys haben das Teil vor nicht allzu langer Zeit gecovert und da hieß es definitiv "Where the streets have no name"!

@ Barni79

Na, wenn das mal nicht "One" von Metallica ist.

[Darkness]

@ barni: Mist, da war doch noch einer schneller als ich. Das ist natürlich One von Metallica.

[Der_Archivar]

Dann kann ich´s auch nicht wissen. Das ist nur teilweise meine Welt (Enter Sandman, Nothing else matters und unforgiven (too) sind die einzigen Sachen, die ich kenn von Lars und co.)

[barni79]

@Archie

No Prob. Hab [fast] alle Alben zu Hause, weiß auch nicht wieso mir gerade diese Lied eingefallen ist.

barnie

[Torsten B. Abel]

@Vampire Hunter D:
Nicht ganz. Bei den Pet Shop Boys hieß das Lied "Where the Streets Have no Name/I Can't Take my Eyes off You" (eine 2-in-1-Coverversion, genau wie George Michaels "Killer/Papa Was a Rolling Stone").
Ich bezog mich aber vielmehr auf die Textzeile, die in U2s Original "I want to tear down the walls..." lautete, bei den PSB dagegen "I want to break down the walls".

Let's dance in style
Let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait
We're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best
But expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power
But we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit
Life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won?
Turn our golden faces to the sun
Praising our leaders
We're getting in tune
The music's played by the madmen

Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever
And ever

Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever young

Some are like water
Some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We'll let them come true

Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever
And ever

Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever

THROW AWAY HEROES

Ten to one and then it's over
Executives are taking turns
Options lost in dirty water
Got a whole lot left to give
but still you're burned

No one ever said it'd be easy
Got it made got to be the one
Feels so good but then it's gone

Throw away heroes
Disposable smiles
Keep track of pats on your back
In all out style

Time to move replace the burden
Pass the gloves onto some other hands
Who's that dude I never heard of
Well he's left the building
but he was the shit he was the man

No one ever said it'd be easy
Got it made got to be the one
Feels so good but then it's gone

Throw away heroes
Disposable smiles
Keep track of pats on your back
In all out style
Throwaway heroes
Expendable beats
From god to geek
Now someone else is in your seat

Throw away heroes
Disposable smiles
Keep track of pats on your back
In all out style
Throw away heroes
Expendable beats
From god to geek
Now someone else is in your seat

Asche auf mein Haupt. Das der Pet Shop Boys-Song eine "doppelte" Coverversion ist habe ich nicht gewußt (wieder mal was gelernt). Nichts für ungut. :)

[FENRIS]

Agony He'll be crucified
Death awaits
Knocking at his door
Agony Leave him
The clock will strike the end
Hell or heaven
Reflect and fade away

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and You obey
Like a candle light that fades
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When the life clock strikes You will obey
Time isn't here to stay
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
the life clock strikes and You obey
A light shows the right way

Morning is whispering in my head
Too late to say goodbye
Too late
The last breath's done
Deliverance at all
he's born to find this end
I am the one
The one who's calling
Obey my call to the cemetary
And don't be afraid
To step into the dark
Be sure that my voice
will take You home

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and You obey
Like a candle light that fades....

@ FENRIS

Ja, Blind Guardian sind schon klasse (auch wenn mir die neueren Sachen nicht mehr so sehr gefallen). Die "Somewhere far beyond" war damals die erste Scheibe die ich mir von ihnen geholt habe.

Ich glaube, ich muß auch noch einmal meine CD-Sammlung nach passenden Texten durchforsten (dürfte bei meinem Musikgeschmack nicht so schwer sein).

[Koenig Kups]

"Somewhere far beyond" war auch meine Lieblings-CD der Bande. Mit den restlichen konnte ich eher weniger anfangen, aber die SFB habe ich vor etlichen Jahren beim Autofahren bis zum Erbrechen gehört.

[FENRIS]

Komisch, ich wurde erst mit "Nightfall in Middlearth" zum Metal bekehrt(Hi, DAX! :p) und das ist bis heute eine meiner (Guardian) Lieblings-CD's geblieben. :D

@KK: Finden wir noch was Passendes von Doro für diesen Threat? ;)

@barni: Metallica - One

I have seen my funeral in a thousand dreams
Its beauty…
Now the night descends and drowns me in this dream once again…
No stars tonight… they all have ceased
No moon tonight to cast its gleam
…just a single flame lighting my journey…

Two at my feet, and two at my head
Two carrying me at where my hands are laid

Endless sleep… giving me peace
And eternally bringing release
Nothing more to be done
Nothing more to be lived for me
All my life I´ve waited for this eternal night and now it´s time…
Soon they´ll lower me down deep into the icy ground

Two at my feet, and two at my head
Two carrying me at where my hands are laid
…and once there´ll be a time that I have waited for
When the dawn will steal my dreams no more…

Two at my feet, and two at my head
Two carrying me at where my hands are laid

Grave Sweet Grave - welcoming me home
Grave Sweet Grave - I´ll be yours till the dawn
(The dawn shall steal my dreams no more)

We are just a moment in time,
A blink of an eye,
A dream for the blind,
Visions from a dying brain,
I hope you don`t understand.

There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams, set slips away from us

Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?

There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us

Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever?
When love must die?


Wie konnten wir DAS nur bisher vergessen?

[Lost Johnny]

If kneedeep in Catnip at the old icebox,
I recommend you whistle and give the box three knocks.
Should you be so lucky to hear whispering,
It is an invitation for you to leap in.
May you go marching in three-measure time,
Dressed up as asses, drunk to the nines.
Swing from the rafters shouting those songs
Gone unsung for far too long.

If boxing your shadow at the wall full of moss,
And antlers approach you, then I am at a loss.
May you go marching in three-measure time,
Dressed up as asses, drunk to the nines.
Swing from the rafters shouting those songs
Gone unsung for far too long.

Drink to the dead all you still alive,
We shall join them in good time.
Should you go crossing that silvery brook,
It's best to leap before you look.

If surrounded by toadstools at the old green glen,
I'm afraid there is little that I can recommend.
Save all of your courage and sincere prayer,
and where you go a-treading take the utmost care.

Drink to the dead all you still alive,
We shall join them in good time.
Should you go crossing that silvery brook,
It's best to leap before you look.

[Schwarze Katze]

Two angels in the night

In falling silence, dying light,
the beings come to life,
the town is covered by the night
that one wants to survive.

One figure differs from the rest
alone in this cold night:
a friend, a guardian, a companion,
an angel of the light.

His wings are joy, his shield are words
politeness is his sword.
To friends and fellows all alike
he gives help and support.

He listens, guides and gives advice,
comforts the cold and lonely.
He never takes any reward,
their thanks and friendship only.

He's satisfied with what he does
but feels that there's one thing at miss:
if HE is getting cold, he needs
someone to warm, hug, hold and kiss.

But in this night his wings are down
he feels the loneliness and pain,
he wonders if this life he lives
will be his everlasting bane.

Another differs from the rest
an angel, dark in her appear.
While walking through an empty alley
he sees her slowly coming near.

She is so beautiful and stunning,
yet strange and somehow far away.
She has a certain charisma
making all others want to stay.


Her shield and sword are gentleness,
her wings are warmth, she is unique,
her voice is music to his ears,
her dark eyes make him soft and weak.

His instinct tells him: "Fight her off,
the night is only yours!"
But deep inside a voice keeps saying:
"She could be on your course.

She might be searching for somebody,
she could be lonely, just like you."
Only steps in this dark alley
separate the unlike two.

What will happen to the angels?
One is dark, the other light.
Will they battle one another
so just one will rule the night?

Or will both take up the danger,
pair her darkness and his light?
Will they hold and warm each other,
just enjoy this silent night?

i hurt myself today
to see if i still feel
i focus on the pain
the only thing that´s real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but i remembereverything

what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt
i wear my own crown of shit
on my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
i can not repair
beneath the stain of time
the feeling dissappeaers
you are someone else
i am still right here

what have i become
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt
if i could start again
a million miles away
i would keep myself
i would find a way
