Annihilator - Kraf Dinner

Cupboard's bare, I'm so hungry
Life ain't fair, gimme some money
Macaroni maniac, a cheddar cheese heart attack

I love, I love, I love, I love
KRAF DINNER

Boilling water, I can't wait
It's getting hotter, it feels so great
Macaroni maniac, a cheddar cheese heart attack

I love, I love, I love, I love
KRAF DINNER

Well that was fun, but now that I'm all done
Now sedate, I think I'll buy a crate
Macaroni maniac, a cheddar cheese heart attack

I love, I love, I love, I love
KRAF DINNER

Kraf Dinner
Dinner
Kraf Dinner
My Dinner

I want it now

(I also used to love that meal during my teens. They probably ommited the "t" in Kraft so they would not have to pay for copyrights.)

Selections from America Eats Its Young (1972)


"If You Don't Like The Effects, Don't Produce The Cause"
{George Clinton, Garry Shider}

If you don't like the effect
Don't produce the cause
(x3)

You say you don't like where you're at (yeah)
You can make a change
If you accept the blame
Stay in control of your reactions, yes
Will determine the effect
Of any situation

You have the power to negate
Any ?-causing feeling
That prohibits you to think
A situation is just that
It has no special power
To do you harm
It's your reactions that count

If you don't like the effect
Don't produce the cause
(x2)

You say you don't like what your country's about (yeah)
Ain't you deep
In your semi-first class seat
You picket this and protest that
And eat yourself fat
Ain't you deep
In your semi-first class seat

If you don't like the effect
Don't produce the cause
(x4)

You say you don't like what your country's about (yeah)
Ain't you deep
In your semi-first class seat
You picket this and protest that
And eat yourself fat

Ain't you deep
In your semi-first class seat
La la la la-la, la la la la
(x2)




"Everybody Is Going To Make It This Time"
{G. Clinton, B. Worrell}

Our mothers and our fathers
They had lives to live
Oh, and today, is proof that mistakes were made
There's not a doubt in my heart
They've done the best that they know how
And there's still time for us to make a change

We got to learn from the mistakes that were made in the past
We got to clean so that we can clean our minds
'Cause in order to get it together
We got to get our heads together
Everybody is going to make it this time (x2)

Our country and our cities, they have been betrayed for money
Ooooh, and somehow, the people, they will make a change, yeah
There's not a doubt in my mind
If hunger and anger place the blame
There won't be a country left to change

We got to see what we're doing in the name of comfort
We've got to see, we've got to feel the warning signs
But in order to get it together
We've got to get our heads together
Everybody is going to make it this time (x2)

We've got to learn from the mistakes
That were made in the past
We've got to clean so that we can use our minds
But in order to get it together
We've got to get our heads together
Everybody is going to make it this time (x2)
(Everybody, make it, yeah whoa!)
Everybody is going to make it this time (x9)
(Got to make it, this time, whoaa! Wooo, woo, woo, hey!)




"Wake Up"
{G. Clinton, B. Worrell, James Wesley Jackson}

You got to wake up
You're in the presence of your future
Wake up
See what you're doing in our sleep

You got to wake up
You're in the presence of your future
Wake up
From the mistakes of the past

From time to time we come alive
But not for very long
See what shape the world is in
And wonder what went wrong

Never dreaming, not for a second
That sleeping is the cause
We make solutions in our sleep
It's dangerous for us all

Wake up
You're in the presence of your future
Wake up
See what we're doing in our sleep

Wake up
You're in the presence of your future
Wake up
From the mistakes of our past

In our sleep, we live it up
Just to wake up and find our dead
Change our hair and hairstyles too
But have the same empty heads

Brothers and sisters I'm telling you

This is what we've got to do

Wake up
You got to wake up
Oh, wake up (doo doo doo doo doo, da da da)

Wake up
You got to wake up (they don't have to?)
Oh, wake up
You've got to wake up
Oh, wake up
You've got to wake up

Wake up
You're in the presence of your future
Wake up
See what you're doing in our sleep

Wake up
You're in the presence of your future
Wake up
See what you're doing in our sleep

In our sleep, we change our wife????
We change our suit of clothes
We change our church, we change our god
But have the same funky soul

Never dreaming, not for a second
Sleeping is the cause

Oh, wake up
You've got to wake up
(x27)

No One There - Sentenced

The axe, the bottle and the rope
The feeling there really is no more hope
The thought of the great unknown
And facing it alone
The dark, the silent and the cold
The feeling I have come to the end of my road
Yes, these are the things I spend
My remaining moments with

And the wind blows through my heart
Shivers me one last time
As I now reach out in the dark
No one there

Why did it have to be so hard
For us to live our lives
Again I reach out in the dark in despair

The desperation and the snow
The feeling of finally coming back home
The melancholy and the hole in the soil so hard and cold

And the wind blows through my heart
Shivers me one last time
As I now reach out in the dark
No one there

Your love for me, my love for you
Things we somehow managed to lose
Now there’s only the ruthless wind
To blow right through
It freezes my heart, my desperate heart
It freezes my heart, my desperate heart
It freezes my heart, my desperate heart
To think we both will die alone

And the wind blows through my heart
Shivers me one last time
As I now reach out in the dark

Brief Is The Light - Sentenced

The bells again...someone has died
The bells of the end toll to remind
that life’s but a race against time

At your back you’ll always hear
The Chariot of Time hurrying near
The faster you run the closer it comes
A pursuer you can not outrun

Hear these words I say:
- Make the most out of your day
For brief is the light on our way
On this momentary trail

Hear these words, awake:
- Make the most out of your day
For brief is the time, so brief is the time
that we’re allowed to stay

The bells again...whose turn this time?
To reach the end, yours or mine?
Each funeral just makes us realize
that life’s but a series of goodbyes

Hear these words I say:
- Make the most out of your day
For brief is the light on our way
On this momentary trail

(too late)

Hear these words I say:
- Make the most out of your day
For brief is the light on our way
On this momentary trail

Hear these words, awake:
- Make the most out of your day
For brief is the time, so brief is the time
that we’re allowed to stay

Life passes by, melts away like snow in the spring
We all are blind to the running of time

[Andurbal]

Selections from "Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes" (1979)

Pilot To Paradise

We contain a light - It's a twinkling fire,
We're in possession of the golden key!
Enormous ignorance surrounds the liar,
But our spirit could really tell us prodigy!

Will-o'-the-wisps, so countless by our side,
Try to make us stumble, wandering and glide!
PILOT TO PARADISE - open our eyes!
PILOT TO PARADISE - make us wise!

Millenniums ago, Adam swallowed the key,
Now it dwells inside of our inner secrecy!
To discover the Guardian of Harmony,
WE gotta immerse into our inner sea!

It animates us, makes us wonder and act,
And it only depends on us - as a natural fact:
Whether it is far as the farthest star,
Or whether it is near, so clean and so clear!

So, let's look for the pilot,
leading through our night!
At the tunnel's end - I am sure -
we'll discover the light!

And I know there's someone to hold us tight!
Man’s damned to fight, only LOVE and TRUTH will bring us the LIGHT!
PILOT TO PARADISE - open our eyes!
PILOT TO PARADISE - make us wise!



Mighty Echoes

Just take a pebble and cast it to the silent sea,
What does happen?
Just have a thought, cry a word, or pray a silent plea,
Do you know what will happen?

Billows arise and our senses catch a proof of energy!
Do we know Laws of Nature?
All in what we feel or do,
Echoes return from Infinity!
We'll come to know our Creator!

We can't stop the echoes
Which are called forth by our animation,
We can't hide from the echoes,
From the truth of our soul’s vibration!

Do we know the sound of collapsing walls,
Of collapsing Truth, Law and Order?
The instant of our Freudian deliverance?
We are the shouters at the border!

As long as we're entangled in declinating
All Divine Forces around us!
As long as we refuse to understand,
That we are here to spread out Love!
Are we actually informed
About the mission of our life?
Do we know that we're composed
Of the trinity of Heart, Soul and Mind?
Our dark nights only come to bright end
When we learn -
Violence makes sick and blind!
Creation's aim and end, aspiration, is to rise
The BEAM of LOVE in OUR MIND!
Just think about what we call Love and Hate,
We are the ones to recreate it!
When we're sowing fear, when we lock up,
We will reap all the tears,
All the tears that separate!
Punishment and pain is the touchstone for the gain,
For the way our common spirit grows!
All our silent cries, our thoughts, our deeds,
Will call forth what we earn,
Will arise MIGHTY ECHOES!

MIGHTY ECHOES will arise!

Clever Trevor

just cos I ain’t never ‘ad, no, nothing worth having
never ever, never ever
you ain’t got no call not to think I wouldn’t fall
into thinking that I ain’t too clever
and it ain’t not having oen thing nor another
niether, either is it anything, whatever
and it’s not not knowing that thier ain’t nothign showing
and I answer to the name of Trever, however

Just cos I ain’t never said, no, nothing worth saying
never ever, never ever, never ever
things ‘ave got read into what I never sad, ‘till me mouth becomes me ‘ead
which ain’t not all that clever
and it’s not not saying one thing nor another
neither, either is ist anything I haven’t said, whatever
and it ain’t not proving that me mind ain’t moving
and I answer to the naem of Trever, however

knock me down with a feather
Clever Trevor
widebrows wonder wether Clever Trevor’s clever
either have they got
nor neither haven’t not
got no right to make a clot
our of Trevor

why should I feel bad about something I ain’t ‘ad
such stupidness is mad cos nothing underfoot
comes to nothing less to add to a load of old toot
and I ain’t half not half co there’s nowhere to put it
even if I ‘ad i’m a bit of a Jack the Lad

knock me down with a feather
Clever Trevor
widebrows wonder wether Clever Trevor’s clever
either have they got
nor neither haven’t not
got no right to make a clot
our of Trevor

also, it takes much longer to get up north, the slow way

Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

[Mr. Pastorius]

Tool - Lateralus

Black then white are
All I see in my infancy
Red and yellow than came to be
Reaching out to me
Lets me see

As below so above and beyond I imagine
Drawn beyond the lines of reason
Push the envelope
Watch it bend

Over thinking, over analyzing
Separates the body from the mind
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities
And I must feed my will to feel this moment
Drawing way outside the lines

Black then white are
All I see in my infancy
Red and yellow than came to be
Reaching out to me
Lets me see
There is so much more that beckons me
To look through to these
Infinite possibilities

As below so above and beyond I imagine
Jump beyond the lines of reason
Push the envelope
Watch it bend

Over thinking, over analyzing
Separates the body from the mind
Withering my intuition
Leaving all these opportunities behind

Feed my will to feel this moment
Urging me across the line
Reaching out to embrace the random
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come

Come embrace my desire to
Come embrace my desire to

Feel the rhythm
To feel connected
Enough to step aside and
Weep like a widow
To feel inspired
To fathom the power
To witness the beauty
To bathe in the fountain
To swing on the spiral
To swing on the spiral
Swing on the spiral of our divinity and
Still be a human

With my feet upon the ground I lose myself between the sounds
And open wide to suck it in I feel it move across my skin
I'm reaching up and reaching out, I'm reaching for the random
Or whatever will bewilder me, what ever will bewilder me
And ollowing our will and wind we may just go where noone's been
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where noone's been

Spiral out, keep going
Spiral out, keep going
Spiral out, keep going
Spiral out, keep going


U2 - Acrobat

Don't believe what you hear
Don't believe what you see
If you just close your eyes
You can feel the enemy

When I first met you, girl
You had fire in your soul
What happened your face of
Melting the snow

Now it looks like this
You can swallow or you can spit
You can throw it up or choke on it
And you can dream, so dream out loud
You know that your time is comin' 'round
So don't let the bastards grind you down

No, nothing makes sense
Nothing seems to fit
I know you'd head out
If you only knew where to head

And I'd join the movement
If there was one I could believe in
Yeah, I'd break bread and wine
If there was a church I could receive it

'Cause I need it now
To take the cup, to fill it up
To drink it slow, can't let you go
I must be an acrobat
To talk like this and act like that
And you can dream, so dream out loud
And don't let the bastards grind you down

Oh, it hurts baby
What are we going to do? Now it's all been said
No new ideas in the house and every book has been read

And I must be an acrobat
To talk like this and act like that
And you can dream, so dream out loud
And you can find your own way out
And you can build, and I can will
And you can call, I can't wait until
And you can stash, you can seize
In dreams begin responsibilities
And I can love
And I can love
You know that the tide is turnin' down
So don't let the bastards grind you down

[Galuf the Dwarf]

I think this song tends to explain me to some extent.

Pain - Shut Your Mouth

The only thing I ever wanted, the only thing I ever needed
is my own way - I gotta have it all
I don't want your opinion, I don't need your ideas
stay the (bleep) out of my face, stay away from me
I am my god - I do as I please

just (censored) and - shut your mouth

I had enough and you're going down - shut your mouth
what comes around you know goes around

my mind is playing tricks on me
I am not as stable as I used to be
pushed and shoved, you know you're going too far
I will not break my back for you no more, I am gonna go my
way
I am gonna take control
time to wake up and dig myself out of this hell

just (censored) and - shut your mouth

I had enough and you're going down - shut your mouth
what comes around you know goes around - shut your mouth
you're getting what your ego deserves - shut your mouth
what comes around you know goes around - shut your mouth

shut your mouth

I had enough and you're going down - shut your mouth
what comes around you know goes around

shut your mouth
shut your mouth
shut your mouth

[Andurbal]

"Little Wing"

Well, she's walking through the clouds
with a circus mind
that's running ‘round
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
and fairy tales

That's all she ever thinks about...
Riding with the wind

When I'm sad she comes to me
with a thousand smiles
she gives to me free

It's alright, she says
Take anything you want from me,
Anything...

Fly on, little wing

Queensryche - Eyes Of A Stranger

[page:] Dr. David, telephone please. Dr. David
Dr. Blair, Dr. Blair, Dr. J. Hamilton, Dr. J Hamilton

All alone now
Except for the memories
Of what we had and what we knew
Everytime I try to leave it behind me
I see something that reminds me of you
Every night the dreams return to haunt me
Your rosary wrapped around your throat
I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep
I see your face looking back at me

And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare

Is this all that's left
Of my life before me
Straight jacket memories, sedative highs
No happy ending like they've always promised
There's got to be something left for me
And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare [Lies behind my stare]

How many times must I live this tragedy
How many more lies will they tell me
All I want is the same as everyone
Why am I here, and for how long

And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare

[Fiberfar]

This song is soooooo good.

Edge of Thorns - Savatage

An offering of reasons
We put them in play
A covering of treasons
That one by one we let slip away

A solitary dancer
So lost upon her stage

I have seen you on the edge of dawn
Felt you there before you were born
Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns
But I don't think about you anymore

A study made of winter
Of summers long ago
And dreams that use to glitter
Safely now hidden under snow

And so we end this chapter
And let the stage lights fade

I have seen you on the edge of dawn
Felt you there before you were born
Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns
But I don't think about you anymore.


R.I.P, Criss Oliva.

[Andurbal]

Choose Your Masques

They're handing out the weapons
And your armour's ready too
But the most important item
Has been left up to you
You must make a firm decision
And once it's made you'll find
That the form that you have chosen
Can entirely fill your mind

For the mask you have selected
Stands for Chaos or for Law
And you cannot take it off now
'til you're no longer in the War
And the Masks of War are grinning
And from under them you howl
Out the slogans of the part you play
for the Battle's starting now

Choose your Masks
The ranks are forming
Choose your Masks
The day is dawning
Choose your Masks
And choose the side that you'll be on
And learn the words of your new song
For the Battle will be long
So long........





Coded Languages

What do they want from you?

A rendezvous upon the sound
The cars rev up, the word goes round
The words are weapons of their will
Their words can hurt, their words can kill

A burning phrase can burn a town
A syllable can bring you down
Their languages are coded
Your image is eroded

Listen to the sound you heard
Learn to fight against their word
Vocabularies of death
Destruction in their breath
They use the lie, they use the myth
Seek only to confuse
And liberty abuse
The lies they tell are pretty
And blow up another city
They steal away your freedom and your love

Their sentimental calling signs
Are calculatingly designed
To rob you of your mind and time
And still you listen to
The lulling drone of reassuring voices
Tunes to take away your choices
Make you slaves to fancy words and phrases
Until you're pushing up the daisies

To rob you
Mind and time
Mind and time
Mind and time
Mind and time
To rob you
To rob you
To rob you
To rob you
To rob you
To rob you
They steal away your freedom and your love






Uncle Sam's On Mars

Shoals of dead fish float on the lakes,
but Uncle Sam's on Mars
And science is making the same mistakes,
but Uncle Sam's on Mars
No one down here knows how to work the brakes,
but Uncle Sam's on Mars

Uncle Sam's on Mars, Uncle Sam's on Mars, Uncle Sam's on
Mars, he's on Mars

Layers of smoke in the atmosphere have made the earth
too hot to bear
The Earth might be a desert soon, America has left
the Moon

Uncle Sam's on Mars, Uncle Sam's on Mars, Uncle Sam's on
Mars, he's on Mars

He's digging for dreams in the red sand
He's got his bucket and spade in his left hand
He's digging for dreams
He's looking for life

What's he doing out there?
He's looking for life
Looking for life
There may be life out there

(Nixon to Armstrong - July 21st 1969)
I'm talking to you by telephone from the Oval Room in the White House.
And this certainly must be the most exciting telephone
call ever made here on Earth. I just can't tell
you how proud we all are. For every American this
has to be the proudest day of their lives. And
for people all over the world, I'm sure they too
join with us in recognising what a tremendous
achievement this is. For one priceless moment
in the whole history of Man......

MacDonalds Hamburger
Construction works
And he's looking for life
Looking for life to wind up
He's looking for life to stamp out
He's looking for life to grind out
He's looking for life, so mind out

I hope you brought your credit card with you, and I hope you know how to
drive on these long, lonely freeways and intersections we've got up
here. We've got two cars in the garage, two cars in the garage, and
drum-majorettes in white ankle socks and baton twirling on Sundays.
We've got stripes and the stars and Uncle Sam's on, Uncle Sam's on, Uncle
Sam's on, Mars....

Grave Digger - Heavy Metal Breakdown

Metal invasion that's all what we need
Metal dominion that's all what we want
We come to give you rules and principles
What you have to do
We come to shake your hands and legs
As fast as we can do

Heavy Metal Breakdown

Women and children want to hear the noise
Women and children want to feel the beat
Bang your heads as fast as you can
Until you're breaking down
The night is long, the show is right
Bang until you die

Heavey Metal Breakdown
Shake your legs and bang your heads
Heavey Metal Breakdown
Lamb of god - Black Label

The human condition is inherit claustrophobia.
Compression of my space made complete.
I would rip out my own entrails by hand just to be alone.
Inanity rolls total through this sphere.
Ostracized for clarity of vision.
A dream unrealized of solitudethat i should decend into autonomy
& know the pain of fellowship no more. I feel nothing but a lack of space.
Paradox of socialization results in duress.
Rife with hostility, what has caused me so much hate?
Humanity. Exterminate with extreme predjudice.
Finntroll - Trollhammaren

[Music: Tundra / Trollhorn, Lyrics: Wilska]

Bland skuggor rider en odjur.
Som en svarta träd.
Griper hård på en mäktig hammar.
Ut för svaga kristna blod.

TROLLHAMMAREN!
TROLLHAMMAREN!

Trollhammaren sveper igen!
Hugga ned, broder igen!
Hör det sista ropet -
Trollhammaren är här!

TROLLHAMMAREN!

Han är inte en människa.
Inte bräcklig och svag som dig.
Du ska vara maktlös.
Inga ögon ser din änd.

TROLLHAMMAREN!
TROLLHAMMAREN!

Sedan mörkret övertog.
Räds den frostens kalla fingrar.
Som griper tag och förlever.
Under kommande vinternatt.

TROLLHAMMAREN!
TROLLHAMMAREN!
TROLLHAMMAREN!

[English translation:]

The Troll Hammer

Amongst the shadows rides a beast
Like a black tree
Gripping hard a mighty hammer
Looking for weak Christian blood

The Troll Hammer!
The Troll Hammer!

The Troll Hammer, swoops again!
Strike down, brother again!
Hear the last howl -
The Troll Hammer is here!

He is not human
Not fragile and weak like you
You will be helpless
No eyes see your end

The Troll Hammer!
The Troll Hammer!

Then the darkness took control
Fearing the cold fingers of frost
That take hold and persist
During coming winter night
The Troll Hammer!
The Troll Hammer!
The Troll Hammer!

[Galuf the Dwarf]

Interesting that Andurbal posted lyrics from Lemmy Kilmister's previous band before he formed Motorhead.

Motorhead - Overkill

Only way to feel the noise is when it´s good and loud,
So good you can´t believe it´s screaming with the crowd,
Don´t sweat it, get it back to you,
Don´t sweat it, get it back to you,
Overkill, Overkill, Overkill, Overkill

On your feet you feel the beat, it goes straight to your spine,
Shake your head you must be dead if it don´t make you fly,
Don´t sweat it, get it back to you,
Don´t sweat it, get it back to you,
Overkill, Overkill, Overkill, Overkill

*instrumental*

Know your body´s made to move, feel it in your guts
Rock ´n´ roll ain´t worth the name if it don´t make you strut,
Don´t sweat it, get it back to you,
Don't sweat it, get it back to you,
Overkill, Overkill, Overkill, Overkill

[Fiberfar]

A song from one of the best bands to come out of the NWOBHM:

And the Bands Played on - Saxon

Just before dawn in the cold light
We came out of the night
A great expectation from the man who ran the show
Will it rain, will it snow, will it shine, we don't know
Are there clouds up in the sky

We sat in the sun, woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on

See the people, feel the power
There was sixty thousand there
Just like thunder the crowds began to roar
Where you there, did ya know, did ya see all the show
There was magic in the air

We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on

See the rainbow shining brightly
Shooting rockets to the sky
Making music and it rolled on through the night
You could hear on the air rock n' roll everywhere
We were strangers in the night

We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
