Kamelot - Forever

Forever
Lyrics by Roy Khan & Thomas Youngblood
"Karma" (2001)


There's a pain within
That I can't define
There's an empty space
Where your love used to shine
From the night we met
Till the day you died
Do you think I wished
Do you still believe I tried

All too soon we were divided
And life had just begun

Will you revive from the chaos in my mind
Where we still are bound together
Will you be there waiting by the gates of dawn
When I close my eyes forever

I belong to you
You belong to me
It's the way things are
Always meant to be
Like the morning star
And the rising sun
You convey my life
And forgive me what I've done

All too soon we were divided
In the darkness and light

Will you revive from the chaos in my mind
Where we still are bound together
Will you be there waiting by the gates of dawn
When I close my eyes forever

Save me
Reverse how I'm thinking of you
Every breath I take
Brings me closer
Closer to forever, to you
I'm waiting for the day that I'm gone

The Poodles - Metal Will Stand Tall

Metal Will Stand Tall
Lyrics by Jakob Samuels & Jonas Reingold
"Metal Will Stand Tall" (2006)


Come on baby

Oh, no no no no no no

We crack it up, we hit the top
We're moving through time
We're thunderous, mysterious and glorious
We're born to, born to, born to
To raise some hell
We speed at night move out of sight
We breake the chains
Oh, yeah!

Made of steel we fly
Like an eagle in sky
We are on the move
And we will prove
We're the strongest of them all
Made of steel we fly
Like an eagle in sky
United we stand
Raising our hands
Nations fall
Metal will stand tall

We crash and burn
We hit and run
We make a stand
From the ash into the fire
See a phoenix rise
See a phoenix rise

Made of steel we fly
Like an eagle in sky
We are on the move
And we will prove
We're the strongest of them all
Made of steel we fly
Like an eagle in sky
United we stand
Raising our hands
Nations fall
Metal will stand tall

Yeah!
We stand tall!
Come on!

Made of steel we fly
Like an eagle in sky
We are on the move
And we will prove
We're the strongest of them all
Made of steel we fly
Like an eagle in sky
United we stand
Raising our hands
Nations fall
Metal will stand tall

Will stand tall, yeah!
Will stand tall!
Metal will stand tall!

Talisman - I'll Be Waiting

I'll Be Waiting
Lyrics by Marcel Jacob & Jeff Scott Soto
"Talisman" (1990)


If U need somebody, call out my name
I'll B waiting right by your side 2nite

I've heard the words out on the street
Your love is much in danger
Though I can hear the tears of pain
I can see the cries of anger

Oh oh oh oh, if U let me know
We can chase the nite away, yeah

If U need somebody, call out my name
I'll B waiting right by your side
Everything changes, but love will remain
I'm awaiting right by your side 2nite

Inside & outside & upside down
This merry-go-round U give in 4
Tell me the reasons Y U go back
Back 2 the same old story

Oh oh oh oh, I can be the 1
Dance & romance until the morning lite

If U need somebody, call out my name
I'll B waiting right by your side
Everything changes, but love will remain
I'm awaiting right by your side 2nite

We can chase the nite away

If U need somebody, call out my name
I'll B waiting right by your side
Everything changes, but love will remain
I'm awaiting...

So...

If U need somebody, call out my name
I'll B waiting right by your side
Everything changes, but love will remain
I'm awaiting right by your side 2nite, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Sonata Arctica - Tallulah

Tallulah
Lyrics by Tony Kakko
"Silence" (2001)


Remember when we used to look
How sun sets far away
And how you said "This is never over"?
I believed your every word
And I guess you did too
But now you're saying
"Hey, let's think this over"

You take my hand and pull me next to you
So close to you
I have a feeling
You don't have the words
I found one for you
Kiss your cheek
Say bye and walk away
Don't look back
'Cause I am crying

I remember little things
You hardly ever do
Tell me why
I don't know why it's over
I remember shooting stars
The walk we took that night
I hope your wish came true
Mine betrayed me

You let my hand go
And you fake a smile for me
I have a feeling
You don't know what to do
I look deep in your eyes
Hesitate a while
Why are you crying?

Tallulah
It's easier to live alone
Than fear the time it's over
Tallulah
Find the words and talk to me
Oh, Tallulah
This could be
Heaven

I see you walking hand in hand
With long-haired drummer of the band
In love with her, or so it seems
He's dancing with my beauty queen
Don't even dare to say you "Hi"
Still swallowing the goodbye
But I know the feeling's still alive
Still alive...

I lost my patience once
So do you punish me now?
I'll always love you
No matter what you do
I'll win you back for me
If you give me a chance
But there is one thing you must understand

Tallulah
It's easier to live alone
Than fear the time it's over
Tallulah
Find the words and talk to me
Oh, Tallulah
This could be

Tallulah
It's easier to live alone
Than fear the time it's over
Tallulah
Find the words and talk to me
Oh, Tallulah
This could be

The Offspring - Self Esteem

Self Esteem
Lyrics by Dexter Holland
"Smash" (1994)


Lalalalalalalala

I wrote her off for the tenth time today
And practiced all the things I would say
But she came over, I lost my nerve
I took her back and made her dessert

Now I know I'm being used
That's okay, man, cause I like the abuse
I know she's playing with me
that's ok cause I got no self esteem

Ohhh, yeah...

We make plans to go out at night
I wait till 2 then I turn out the light
All this rejection's got me so low
If she keeps it up I just might tell her so

Ohhh, yeah...

When she's saying that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can stand
Well I guess, I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care...
Right? Yeah!

Now I'll relate this a little bit
That happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
She's drunk again and looking to score

Now I know I should say no
But it's kind of hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem

Ohhh, yeah...

When she's saying that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can stand
Well I guess, I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care...
Right? Yeah!

Crazy Lixx - Heroes Are Forever

Heroes Are Forever
Lyrics by D.C. Danny
"Loud Minority" (2007)


When I was young there were always the ones sitting up on high, yeah
The kind of men you knew you'd never become but you kept on tryin'

One by one!
Tell me where have they gone
On my own!
Can't help but feeling, I'm feeling left all alone

Such a shame when I'm looking back, so many lost the track
They got aboard on a one-way ride, never heading back

One by one!
Everybody's dead and gone
On my own!
Can't help but feeling, I'm feeling left all alone

Heroes, heroes are forever
But they all die young
Heroes are forever
Heroes, heroes are forever
But now they're gone

And now, when I raise my head I'm staring into the night
No stars burning in the sky, no guiding light
I don't know!
Where to look for answers anymore
On my own!
Feels like I'm sitting
Alone in the front row

Heroes, heroes are forever
But they all die young
Heroes are forever
Heroes, heroes are forever
But now they're gone

Yeah...
Heroes will be

Heroes, heroes are forever
But they all die young
Heroes are forever
Heroes, heroes are forever
But now they're gone

Heroes are forever

Heroes, heroes are forever
Heroes are forever
Heroes are forever
I said heroes are forever
Heroes, heroes are forever
But now they're gone...

Jon Bon Jovi - Ugly

Ugly
Lyrics by Jon Bon Jovi & Eric Bazilian
"Destination Anywhere" (1997)


If you're ugly, I'm ugly too
In your eyes the sky's a different blue
If you could see yourself like others do
You'd wish you were as beautiful as you, Yeah

And I wish I was a camera sometimes
So I could take your picture with my mind
I'd put it in a frame for you to see
How beautiful you really are to me

Ugly, Ugly, all of us
Just feel like that somedays
Ain't no rainbow in the sky
When you feel U.G.L.Y
And that's Ugly
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Yeah. Yeah, Yeah

Ugly, Ugly, all of us
Just feel like that somedays
Ain't no rainbow in the sky
When you feel U.G.L.Y
And that's Ugly, Ugly, all of us
Just feel like that somedays
Ain't no cure that you can buy
When you feel U.G.L.Y
And that's Ugly

So if you're ugly, I'm ugly too
If you're a nut then I must be a screw
If you could see yourself the way I do
You'd wish you were as beautiful as you

Yeah,
I wish I was as beautiful as you

Nickelback - Figured You Out

Figured You Out
Lyrics by Chad Kroeger
"The Long Road" (2003)


I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favorite damn disease

And I love the places that we go
And I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can't say No
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)

I like the freckles on your chest
And I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you're not impressed
While you put me to the test
I like the white stains on your dress

I love the way you pass the check
And I love the good times that you wreck
And I love your lack of self respect
While you're passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
Now I did, you wonder why
Why not before, you never tried
Gone for good, and this is it

I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favorite damn disease

And I hate the places that we go
And I hate the people that you know
And I hate the way you can't say No
Too many long lines in a row
I hate the powder on your nose

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
Now I did, you wonder why
Why not before, you never tried
Gone for good, and this is it
