Character Songs!

[Mister Stewart]

Time to break in the chatter forum. XD I'm kinda...music-minded, and I tend to make playlists and song associations with my characters. Anyone else do the same? You can post songs that remind you of other characters, too!

I'll start off with three.

"Smoke and Mirrors"
by Poets of the Fall
Mister Stewart's POV, referring to himself and Michael.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oytl837TBGw&feature=related

I danced a tango with my hubris high on youth
We swept across the dance floor to subjective truth

But there was no harmony there
No reason for coexistence
Nothing to span the distance, now

Do we even know who we are
Living like all life is forfeit
Like we can just go redefine it
Regardless what we broke

Who died and made us stars
With our intellectual gambits
Our millionaire flair and our antics
We're like mirrors seen through smoke

I tried a shanty with the fool to find my pace
Anything from puns to jests to intertwine our ways

But there was no loyalty to hope
And funny the need for mercy
How it makes us bleed all mercy, now

Do we even know who we are...

Now the melody's void of sympathy
cos that shit's in byte size bits on YouTube
so tell me what am I supposed to do
When the malady's no remedy
Till we reach the lowest absolute
And necessity will finally force something through what's walling you

Do we even know who we are..

"All the Right Moves"
by OneRepublic
Michael's POV. Referring to how he protects Mister Stewart, even though it's a losing battle.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7txuV3IUeE&feature=related

All the right friends in all the right places
So yeah, we're going down
They've got
All the right moves in all the right faces
So yeah, we're going down

Let's paint the picture
Of the perfect place
They've got it better then when anyone's told ya
They'll be the King of Hearts, and you're the Queen of Spades
Then we'll fight for you like we were your soldiers

I know we got it good, but they got it made,
And their grass is getting greener each day,
I know things are looking up, but soon they'll take us down,
Before anybody's knowing our name

They've got...

All the right friends in all the right places
So yeah, we're going down
They've got
All the right moves in all the right faces
So yeah, we're going down

They say
Everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down
They say
Everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down

Do you think I'm special?
Do you think I'm nice?
Am I bright enough to shine in your spaces?
Between the noise you hear, and the sounds you like
Are we just sinking the ocean of faces?
It can't be possible... the rain can fall
Only when it's over our heads.
The sun is shining everyday, but it's far away.
Over the world that's dead.

They've got, they've got...

All the right friends in all the right places
So yeah, we're going down
They've got
All the right moves in all the right faces
So yeah, we're going down
[Repeat]

They say
Everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down
They say
Everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down

It don't matter what you see
I know I could never be
Someone that'll look like you.
It don't matter what you say
I know I could never fake
Someone that could sound like you.

All the right friends in all the right places
So yeah, we're going down
They've got
All the right moves in all the right faces
So yeah, we're going down
[Repeat]

They say
Everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down
They say
Everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down

Yeah, we're going down [repeat x2]

All the right moves... heeey
Yeah we're going down
They say
All the right moves... heeey
Yeah we're going down

"Stop and Stare"
by OneRepublic
Michael's POV. How he feels behind the facade.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPEaK94eig4

This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us
It's time to make our move, I'm shaking off the rust
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years
Steady hands, just take the wheel...
And every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal... for the life I lead

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, can you see what I see

They're trying to come back, all my senses push
Untie the weight bags, I never thought I could...
Steady feet, don't fail me now
Gonna run till you can't walk
Something pulls my focus out
And I'm standing down...

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, you don't need

What you need, what you need...

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be
Oh, do you see what I see...

[David Young Henning]

At first this made me think it might be from Emily's POV about York, but some of it reminds me of the scene after Thomas knocks York out in the Galaxy of Terror, or York making the police wait while he goes off and does his own thing. In general it kind of describes the whole game, actually. Even the title kind of gives it away:

"Red Vines"
Aimee Mann

They're all still on their honeymoon
Just read the dialogue balloon
Everyone loves you
Why should they not?
And I'm the only one who knows
That Disneyland's about to close
I don't suppose you'd give it a shot
Knowing all that you've got

Are cigarettes and red vines
Just close your eyes, 'cause baby
You never do know
And I'll be on the sidelines
With my hands tied
Watching the show

Well, it's always fun and games until
It's clear you haven't got the skill
In keeping the gag from going too far
So you're running 'round the parking lot
'Til every lightning bug is caught
Punching some pinholes
In the lid of a jar
While we wait in the car

With cigarettes and red vines
Just close your eyes, 'cause baby
You never do know
And I'll be on the sidelines
With my hands tied
Watching the show

And tell me, would it kill you
Would it really spoil everything
If you didn't blame yourself
Do you know what I mean?

Cigarettes and red vines
Just close your eyes, 'cause baby
You never do know
And I'll be on the sidelines
With my hands tied
Watching the show
Watching the show...

[Mister Stewart]

"I Feel Fantastic"
by Jonathan Coulton
York. XD' I know he isn't a druggie or anything, but something about this song...almost my whole family thinks of him when they hear it. XD' I think it's the energy and general sense of "Well, okay then!"
www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9F6zGP3kkc

I get up early when the sleeping pill wakes me
I take a wake up pill and fill with energy
I power on hard and I check my messages
But I don't have any messages
I take a driving pill and head to my car
I drive around a bit cuz work isn't very far
I call my phone and I check my messages
But I don't have any messages

All I know is driving on drugs feels better when they're prescription
All I know is the world looks beautiful, the world looks so damn beautiful

I feel fantastic
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now.
I feel fantastic
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now, right now.

Work is anything but quiet these days
I try to medicate my concentration haze
I can feel/see the day unfold in front of me
So I take the stairs and hit the gym
The phone is ringing when I get to my desk
What was a stinging's now a sharp pain in my chest
So I take a Calminex and just chill
And then it's time for lunch again

All I know is work is easy when you don't stress out about deadlines
All I know is I take my medicine I always take my medicine.

And I feel fantastic
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now, right now.
I feel fantastic
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now, right now. (6 right now's that fade out)

Sometimes I'd like to slow things down
Enjoy the moment
But when I look the moment's gone

Work is over but I can't stay to work late
Got to leave and get ready for my second date
With a pretty girl that I met at the pharmacy
Right in the prescription line
I take a pill for my social anxiety
I get a table and a nice bottle of chablis
Now it's getting late and there's still no sign of her
I have another glass of wine

All I know is the wine lasts longer when you don't gotta share it with someone
All I know is the steak tastes better when I take my steak tastes better pill

And I feel fantastic
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now.
And I feel fantastic
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now, right now.

[Wes Uccello]

A selection from my Wes playlist:

"I Am A Rock" by Simon and Garfunkel
www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVLFlkehGuU&feature=related
More or less speaks for itself.

A winters day
In a deep and dark December;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
Ive built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

Don't talk of love,
But Ive heard the words before;
It's sleeping in my memory.
I wont disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.

"The Dark of the Matinee" by Franz Ferdinand
www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKyG1dRoDlA
Mostly for the sound and particularly the bit I italicized.

You take your white finger
Slide the nail under the top and bottom buttons of my blazer
Relax the fraying wool, slacken ties
And I'm not to look at you in the shoe, but the eyes, find the eyes

Find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and files
You must follow, leave this academic factory
You will find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine
Yes it's mine

I time every journey to bump into you, accidentally
I charm you and tell you of the boys I hate
All the girls I hate
All the words I hate
All the clothes I hate
How I'll never be anything I hate
You smile, mention something that you like
or How you'd have a happy life if you did the things you like

Find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and files
You must follow, leave this academic factory
You will find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine
Yes it's mine

So I'm on BBC2 now, telling Terry Wogan how I made it and
What I made is unclear now, but his deference is and his laughter is
My words and smile are so easy now
Yes, It's easy now
Yes, It's easy now

Find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and files
You must follow, leave this academic factory
You will find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine
Yes it's mine

"You Horoscope for Today" by Weird Al
www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iCwmMlJDSE
Sounds like his sense of humor. Here's selected bits of the lyrics, because there are a lot of them.

"Aquarius
There's travel in your future when your tongue freezes to the back of a speeding bus
Fill that void in your pathetic life by playing Whack-A-Mole seventeen hours a day

Pisces
Try to avoid any Virgos or Leos with the Ebola virus
You are the true Lord of the Dance, no matter what those idiots at work say"

"Taurus
You will never find true happiness - what you gonna do, cry about it?
The stars predict tomorrow you'll wake up, do a bunch of stuff, and then go back to sleep"

"Virgo
All Virgos are extremely friendly and intelligent - except for you
Expect a big surprise today when you wind up with your head impaled upon a stick"

"Now you may find it inconceivable or at the very least a bit unlikely
that the relative position of the planets and the stars could have
a special deep significance or meaning that exclusively applies to only you,
but let me give you my assurance that these forecasts and predictions
are all based on solid, scientific, documented evidence, so you would have
to be some kind of moron not to realize that every single one of the is absolutely true.

Where was I?

Libra
A big promotion is just around the corner for someone much more talented that you
Laughter is the very best medicine, remember that when your appendix bursts next week

Scorpio
Get ready for an unexpected trip when you fall screaming from an open window
Work a little harder on improving your low self-esteem, you stupid freak"

"Capricorn
The stars say that you're an exciting and wonderful person, but you know they're lying
If I were you, I'd lock my doors and windows and never never never never never leave my house again"

[Mister Stewart]

I have another one. XD'

So the other day I was listening to this song and realized, HOLY CRAP, THIS ACTUALLY FITS THE PLOT OF THE WHOLE GAME JUST ABOUT.

So you get a little analysis with the lyrics this time. XD'

"Hide and Seek"
by Imogen Heap
THE WHOLE GAME. At least, some major bits of it.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4OLQB7ON9w

where are we?
what the hell is going on? ((The player's first thoughts about the game. Also, York's dream.))
the dust has only just begun to form
crop circles in the carpet
sinking feeling

spin me round again
and rub my eyes,
this can't be happening
when busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy ((The town is disturbed by Anna's death. York realizes how tight-knit Greenvale is, and how everyone is upset over Anna.))

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines
all those years
they were here first ((The Shadows, and York learning to hide from them. Also learning of Greenvale's past.))

oily marks appear on walls
where pleasure moments hung before the takeover,
the sweeping insensitivity of this still life ((Muse's Gallery. For that matter, any of the ritual spots...lumbermill, gallery, secret rooms.))

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines (oh, you won't catch me around here)
blood and tears (hearts)
they were here first ((Again, learning of the town's sordid past. More hiding from Shadows and RK.))

Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmm that you only meant well?
well of course you did
Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmmm that it's all for the best?
of course it is
Mmmm whatcha say?
Mmmm that it's just what we need
you decided this
whatcha say?
Mmmm what did she say? ((Both Thomas's reaction to Emily talking him down and York's reaction to George's rationale.))

ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs
speak no feeling no I don't believe you
you don't care a bit,
you don't care a bit ((York/Zach to Kaysen.))

(hide and seek)
ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs

(hide and seek)
speak no feeling no i don't believe you
you don't care a bit,
you don't care a (you don't care a) bit

(hide and seek)
oh no, you don't care a bit
oh no, you don't care a bit

(hide and seek)
oh no, you don't care a bit
you don't care a bit
you don't care a bit

[Charlotte Jacobs]

Heard this song on Stargate Universe, and in re-listening to it I realized that it worked.

"Breathe"
by Alexi Murdoch

The whole game, possibly York searching for answers.

In the quiet of the shadow
In the corner of a room
Darkness moves upon you
Like a cloud across the moon

You're a-wearing all the silence
Of a constant that will turn
Like the windmill left deserted
Or the sun forever burn

So don't forget to breathe
Don't forget to breathe
Your whole life is here
No eleventh hour reprieve
So don't forget to breathe

Keep your head above water
But don't forget to breathe

And all the suffering that you've witnessed
And the hand prints on the wall
They remind you how it's endless
How endlessly you fall

And the answer that you're seeking
For the question that you found
Drives you further to confusion
As you lose your sense of ground

So don't forget to breathe
Don't forget to breathe
Your whole life is here
No eleventh hour reprieve
So don't forget to breathe

Keep your head above water
But don't forget to breathe

Breathe....

Don't forget to breathe
Don't forget to breathe
You know you are here
But you find you want to leave
So don't forget to... breathe

Just breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe...
Just breathe...
Just breathe...

[Atlas]

Heard this song playing an MMO called APB (now defunct, though another company is reviving it.) Initially, I pegged as a theme for an Ace Attorney lawyer, but felt it fit Atlas.


"The Truth"
By Bulletproof Messenger
Atlas in either in heat of an argument, such as in court or otherwise creating scenarios in his head.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_h5lM_7yXI

(Verse 1)
It seems to be disastrous
When the walls come tumblin down
But defeat don't come to fast for us
Cause you don't complete me
And you won't defeat me

(Prechorus)
You can try but you won't defeat me
I don't lie that you won't defeat me
I won't die cause you won't defeat me
Just get back, get back, get back

(Chorus)
Just say what you feel
And say what you mean
Don't fear what the truth may have to bring
It may cut you deep but it cuts you clean
So this is your chance to be redeemed

(Verse 2)
Some say it may be blasphemous
That you keep on tellin these lies
But it happens to the best of us
So don't try to beat me cause you won't defeat me

(Pre Chorus)

(Chorus)
(Chorus 2/3 continued)
Just say what you feel and say what you mean
Don't fear that the truth may ruin these things
You're caught in a web created by lies
Don't promise me everything's alright

(Bridge)
Cause I'm, so tried of being so shut out
So why cover yourself in so much doubt
Good bye, I'm letting it go
Why try, cause everything will fall back into place
Just get back, get back, get back

(Chorus 1+2)

[Mister Stewart]

I never stop. XD'

"Where Do We Draw The Line"
by Poets of the Fall
Harry AND Michael. Italicized is Harry, plain is Michael, bold is both.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTXVMGbpVRw&feature=related

On your palm an endless wonder
Lines that speak the truth without a sound
In your eyes awaits the tireless hunger
Already looks for prey to run down

So why do we keep up this charade
How do we tell apart the time to leave from the time to wait

What does tomorrow want with me
What does it matter what I see
If it can't be my design
Tell me where do we draw the line

The dance of flames and shadows in the street
Make poetry nobody's ever heard
The weight of loneliness stands on your feet
The cage already there around the bird

So why don't we join the masquerade
Before it all falls apart before our love becomes insatiate

What does tomorrow want with me
What does it matter what I see
If I can't choose my own design
Tell me where do we draw the line

Where's the cooling wind
Where's the evergreen field
Where's my mother's open arms
Where's my father lionheart
S'like the sun's gone down
Sleeps in the hallowed ground now
With the autumn's browns leaves
With the one who never grieves

What does tomorrow want with me
What does it matter what I see
If we all walk behind the blind
Tell me where do we draw the line

Whatever tomorrow wants from me
At least I'm here, at least I'm free
Free to choose to see the signs
This is my line

[Mister Stewart]

Hey! A Smoking Man song I can share that isn't a spoiler!

"Labyrinth"
by Oomph!
Smoking Man's POV, talking to Charlotte in the Lumbermill thread. Even the video works!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3lndvRhS_M - Original German
www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCSbi3GnkKA - English version! Raspy and everything!

Translation:

Left, right, straight ahead,
There is no way out, you're dead
Left, right, straight ahead,
There is no way out, you're dead

Left, right, straight ahead
Left, right, straight ahead
Left, right, straight ahead
Left, right, straight ahead

The madness here has locked you up
And now your perfect world is fucked
It's taken root inside your mind
Run child run, run for your life

You don't know now who you are
You don't know now what love is for
The mirrored face you see is strange
There's no one here to share your pain

Knock, knock, let me in
Let me be your secret sin
Knock knock, knock knock
Knock, knock, let me in
Let me be your secret sin
Knock, knock, let me in
Let me be your secret sin

Left, right, straight ahead
You're in the labyrinth

Child, for heaven's sake

Left, right, straight ahead
You're in the labyrinth
Left, right, straight ahead
Left, right, straight ahead
No one here can tell you
Who is good or bad
Don't make a mistake
Child, for heaven's sake

Time and again, you've kept me out
And hardened up your heart in doubt
That me inside your second skin
Has spoiled your thinking yet again

When I possess your soul, I'll say things
And use you as my personal plaything
The time will come I'll dull your senses
If you don't stop, this game is endless

Knock, knock, let me in
Let me be your secret sin
Knock knock, knock knock
Knock, knock, let me in
Let me be your secret sin
Knock, knock, let me in
Let me be your secret sin

Which direction
Is the right one to take
Child, for heaven's sake

Left, right, straight ahead
You're in the labyrinth
Left, right, straight ahead
Left, right, straight ahead
No one here can tell you
Who is good or bad
Don't make a mistake
You're in the labyrinth
You're in the labyrinth

Knock, knock, let me in
Let me be your secret sin
Knock knock, knock knock
Knock, knock, let me in
Let me be your secret sin
Knock, knock, let me in
Let me be your secret sin

You're in the labyrinth

Who is good or bad

Left, right, straight ahead,
There is no way out, you're dead
Left, right, straight ahead,
There is no way out, you're dead.

[Dr. Bradley Karrde Smith]

For some reason or other, this song makes me think of the Raincoat Killer. ;D

"Slaughter Your World"
by Richard
Raincoat Killer, on any given day
www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcbazH6aE2g

Excitement abounds
I almost can't wait
Relax, I don't want your baby
I already ate
Though I do tend to generally kill
Kill things that don't fight back

I see this village
What does it hold?
What shall I butcher them with
Fire or cold?
Running from me sure you'd think
'He's a pathological bloodthirsty homicidal maniac!'

I'd kill kittens and puppies and bunnies
I'd maim toddlers and teens and then more

You see a wife? I see a widow
But what then?
Can't you see?
I'd kill four!

I want to incinerate and decapitate
I want to melt
Want to melt some faces
Watching the peasants...what do they call it?
Ahh...grieve!

I suppose that being undead there's not much to life
A soul is needed for loving...feeling...
How does this all not make me...what's that word again?
Heave!

You've nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run
Your village will burn like the heart of the sun!
With infinite glee
It's going to be me
That slaughters the world!

How could I glare into these eyes
And then not stab them?
How could I stare at their loss
And then not laugh?
I'd cut him in half
Then I'd graft
His head back onto his shoulders
Or after I'd lop it
I'd make a puppet
On top of a staff!

I am a lord that is sometimes bored
Have some urges and need to fulfill them
After my mayhem I simply don't...what's the word?
Care!

The stench in the air
The smell of the gore
The carnage far greater than any war
My legacy
Death becomes...me!
I'll slaughter the world

[Mister Stewart]

"Late Goodbye"
by Poets of the Fall
Henning and Charlotte driving to the hospital after the Lumbermill.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=atKv1JyQgV8

In our headlights, staring, bleak, beer cans, deer's eyes
On the asphalt underneath, our crushed plans and my lies
Lonely street signs, powerlines, they keep on flashing, flashing by

And we keep driving into the night
It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
And we keep driving into the night
It's a late goodbye

Your breath hot upon my cheeck, and we crossed, that line
You made me strong when I was feeling weak, and we crossed, that one time
Screaming stop signs, staring wild eyes, keep on flashing, flashing by

And we keep driving into the night
It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
And we keep driving into the night
It's a late goodbye

The devil grins from ear to ear when he sees the hand he's dealt us
Points at your flaming hair, and then we're playing hide and seek
I can't breathe easy here, less our trail's gone cold behind us
Till' in the john mirror you stare at yourself grown old and weak

And we keep driving into the night
It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye...

[Bianca White]

"Her Morning Elegance"
by Oren Lavie
Bianca as her everyday self and her everyday life.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_HXUhShhmY


Sun been down for days
A pretty flower in a vase
A slipper by the fireplace
A cello lying in its case

Soon she's down the stairs
Her morning elegance she wears
The sound of water makes her dream
Awoken by a cloud of steam
She pours a daydream in a cup
A spoon of sugar sweetens up

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
As she goes in a store
With a thought she has caught
By a thread
She pays for the bread
And She goes...
Nobody knows

Sun been down for days
A winter melody she plays
The thunder makes her contemplate
She hears a noise behind the gate
Perhaps a letter with a dove
Perhaps a stranger she could love

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
As she goes in a store
With a thought she has caught
By a thread
She pays for the bread
And She goes...
Nobody knows

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
Where people are pleasently strange
And counting the change
And She goes...
Nobody knows

[Charlotte Jacobs]

And now, a song for the Shadows! Or... people dealing with seeing Shadows for the first time, rather. ;D



Somebody Save Me
by Full Blown Rose



Can somebody help me

I'm being haunted by a whisper
A chill comes over me
I've been trapped inside this moment
I'm not a victim, I'm not a freak

Free me
Before I slip away
Heal me
Wake me from this day
Can somebody help me?

I've seen the face of my affliction of my reality
I'm being tortured by the future of things
that are yet to be

I'm being haunted by a vision
It's like the moment never comes
I feel the burden of confusion, always searching...on the run

Free me
Before I slip away
Heal me
Wake me from this day

Can somebody help me?
Somebody help me

Now, I'm not a hero...no
But the weight of the world's on my soul
These images burn in my eyes
They're burning me up inside

Free me
Before I slip away
Heal me
Wake me from this day
Can somebody help me?

Free me
Before I slip away
Heal me
Wake me from this day
Can somebody help me?
Somebody help me
Somebody help me

"Our Solemn Hour"

Harry and Micheal trying to warn everyone and worrying about murders in Greenvale

Sanctus Espiritus
Redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus Espiritus
Insanity is all around us

Sanctus Espiritus
Sanctus Espiritus
Sanctus Espiritus

In my darkest hours
I could not foresee
That the tide the tide could turn so fast to this degree
Can't believe my eyes
How can you be so blind
Is the heart of stone
No empathy inside

Time keeps on slipping away and we haven't learned
So in the end now what have we gained

Sanctus Espiritus
Redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus Espiritus
Insanity is all around us
Sanctus Espiritus
Is this what we deserve
Can we break free
From chains of never-ending agony

Are they themselves to blame
The misery
The pain
Didn't we let go
Allowed it
Let it grow
If we can't restrain
The beast which dwells inside
It will find its way
Somehow
Somewhere in time

Will we remember all of the suffering
Cause if we fail it will be in vain

Sanctus Espiritus
Redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus Espiritus
Insanity is all around us
Sanctus Espiritus
Is this what we deserve
Can we break free
From chains of never-ending agony

Sanctus Espiritus

Sanctus Espiritus

Sanctus Espiritus
Redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus Espiritus
Insanity is all around us
Sanctus Espiritus
Is this what we deserve
Can we break free
From chains of never-ending agony

Sanctus Espiritus
Redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus Espiritus
Insanity is all around us
Sanctus Espiritus
Is this what we deserve
Can we break free
From chains of never-ending agony

A Zach/York song! Yeah, I make very odd connections.

Welcome to the Black Parade
by My Chemical Romance

When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said, "Son, when you grow up
Would you be the savior of the broken
The beaten and the damned??

He said, "Will you defeat them
Your demons and all the non-believers
The plans that they have made?
Because one day, I'll leave you
A phantom to lead you in the summer
To join the Black Parade"

Sometimes I get the feeling
She's watching over me
And other times I feel like I should go
And through it all, the rise and fall
The bodies in the streets
And when you're gone we want you all to know

We'll carry on, we'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone, believe me
Your memory will carry on, we'll carry on
And in my heart, I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it

And while that sends you reeling
From decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black and take it back
Let's shout out loud and clear
Do you fight it to the end?

We hear the call to carry on, we'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone, believe me
Your memory will carry on, we'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
You're weary widow marches

On and on we carry through the fears
Disappointed faces of your peers
Take a look at me
'Cause I could not care at all

Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Though you try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part

Won't explain or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar
Give a cheer for all the broken
Listen here, because it's only

I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
Just a boy who wanna sing his song
Just a man, I'm not a hero
I don't care!

We'll carry on, we'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone, believe me
Your memory will carry on, you'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
You're weary widow marches on

Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Though you try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part
(We'll carry on)

Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Though you try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part
(We'll carry on)
