And suddenly there was war
We didn’t remember it
A long time forgotten
There suddenly was war
And suddenly there was war
Our children are dead
Burnt in the ruins
That were left by war
War
And suddenly there was war
And the mothers they screamed
For revenge and reprisals
For another war
And suddenly
And suddenly
And suddenly there was war
With spoiling and death
And you fight alone
If there’s another war
Whole life is war
And whole life is pain
And you will fight alone
In your personal war
War
This is war
War
Ministry - Burning Inside
Will these dreams still follow me
When the dark comes, curing time
Can’t you see it up in the sky
As it kicks you in the face and sucks you dry
You never had the answers
And now you tell me the facts are lies
I really couldn’t be bothered with you
Get out of my face and watch me die
Burning inside! Burning inside!
Absolution and a frozen room
And the dreams of men below
I try to grab it but the touch is hot
The mirror collects it, but the image can not
I’m scared of the darkness and the light
I scare myself because I know I’m right
I see the evil in your savage eye
As it cuts right through the sky
Burning inside! Burning inside!
Calming the mantra with a blade in his skin
For the demons within
I feel the pain as we start to decay
But the lesson never fades away
Don’t need no shadows, turn them away
Become a man through the window pane
Another slave and a victim of fate
Another lesson in hate
Burning inside! Burning inside!
“All the locals hide their tears of regret.
Open fire cos i love you to death.
Sky high, with a heartache of stone.
You’ll never see me cos I’m always alone.
How to love without a trace of dissent.
I’ll buy the torture cos you pay for the rent.
Tied high with a broken command.
You’re all alone to the promised land.
I’m in love with this malicious intent.
You’ve been taken but you don’t know it yet.
What you will know must never live to be found.
Cos it’s the subject of the eyes of the drowned.
The Smashing Pumpkins - The Beginning is the End is the Beginning
A song from the soundtrack of the crappy movie “Batman and Robin” repurposed for the trailer to the awesome movie “Watchmen”. The tone of this version matches its nihilistic lyrics and the nihilistic tone of the film. An all encompassing sense of doom.
A remix of Ministry’s classic song “NWO” from their album “Rantology”. In some ways I like it better than the original. In some ways.
And even though Bush is not president anymore, that hope and change we were promised seems to be nowhere to be found.
Very rare industrial song from a special edition soundtrack of George A. Romero’s “Dawn of the Dead”.
I have no idea who made it or which release it was on but it is an amazing song using dialogue samples from the film.
Thrills
I don’t know if I am in some kind of a rut or maybe I am getting old and cynical, but I find it harder and harder to enjoy new things.
Mostly I mean in terms of music. I like industrial music. Two of my favorite bands in that genre are Ministry and KMFDM. I try listening to newer industrial bands but it doesn’t hold a candle to them. I want to find something new and exciting, but nothing really stands out. I found one band that combined industrial with black metal. Normally that would be a winning combination but they sucked. I have found some really good heavy metal bands, some of them from friends, like Legion of the Damned and Naildown. But I always seem to find myself going back to the same old sensations.
Maybe I am getting old. I would believe it.
I try to find new stuff that is also familiar, if that makes any sense.
To any one reading this, if there is something heavy that you think I would like, drop me a line, huh? As long as there is a tuned down guitar in there somewhere I will be happy.
