And, the promised piece of fluff.

I've seen this one floating around, most recently in dour's journal.

I post twenty lyrics, all from different songs. Ya'll (dear gods, I want to use 'ihr') try and figure out which songs they're from, and use the comments section for your answers/guesses. Bonus points for the singer/group, or for the singer/group that did it first.

The following songs, BTW, are all favourites of mine.


1. Fools said I, you do not know/Silence like a cancer grows

2. Everything is relative within the eyes of God/Someone's pain brings someone else delight/And all it takes is just/A subtle shift in point of view/To make the wrongs of man seem good and right

3. With a host of furious fancies/Of which I am commander/With a flaming spear and a horse of air/Through the wilderness I'll wander.

4. Now the fallen towers have been painted on our shields/Fear is on the land as armies gather in the fields/Something smiles as shrill voices bend the archers' aim/We must see through its disguise, and call it by its name

5. Queen of Light took her bow/And then she turned to go/The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom/And walked the night alone

6. Do not distract me when you see a new soul in these eyes/For when the war god fills this flesh I wear/I am no more your friend; I am the spirit of the bear

7. Name your goal--she won't ask your soul--/She might even give you her own--/
And maybe you'd be better off alone!

8. Blue masquerade, strangers look on/When will they learn this loneliness?
/Temptation heat beats like a drum/Deep in your veins, I will not lie

9. Autumn in her flaming dress/Of orange, brown, gold fallen leaves/My mistress of the frigid night/I worship, pray to on my knees

10. I hunt, therefore I am/Harvest the land/Taking of the fallen lamb

11. Beneath this cloak of treason/Appears a thousand faces/The truth must stand to reason/For those who's heart it chases

12. Gimme charcoal to the measure two/Send the bullet where you want it to/Gimme sulphur to the measure three/Make the powder gonna keep you free/Gimme saltpetre, measure fifteen/Sweetest shooting that you've ever seen

13. Know this... it's always been a game/From order there comes chaos, but each one's just a name/And, in the dark, I'll show to you that everything's the same/That
your terror is your love is your pain.

14. Ich goss ihr Blut/Ins Feuer meiner Wut/Ich verschloss die Tür/Man fragte nach ihr

15. Drowning deep in my sea of loathing/Broken your servant I kneel/(Will you give it to me?)/It seems what's left of my human side/Is slowly changing ... in me/(Will you give it to me?)

16. They used to dance in the garden in the/Middle of the night/They were naked as the day they were/Born skin all bone-china white

17. My energy is spent at last/And my armor is destroyed/I have used up all my weapons/And I'm helpless and bereaved/Wounds are all I'm made of/Dare you say that this is victory?

18. Alarming desperation/Leads me to believe/With all my shields and protection/
It's only me I deceive

19. I cannot live/I cannot die/Trapped in myself/Body my holding cell!

20. Teacher guarding the dwindling flame/How many of your kids have beaten the game?/The wind is rising and the night's falling fast--/Will you run, save yourself, or fight to the last?

1. Simon and Garfunkle - Sounds of Silence.

I've been meaning to look up them, and Seals and Crofts. Haven't heard for too long.

Ponder..
