Cut off the lights, take a look...
Theres nothing beyond but pain...
Suffer in the deepest void...
The flame of hope has gone...
- Hansi Kursch -
Just assorted poems and songs that I like. Most are about pain and the like. Enjoy!

W.A.S.P.- My Tortured Eyes
Hooray for the last of the madness
Hooray for no more misery
Cause I'm in the middle of darkness
Ya see no hope's a dangerous thing
Come on and kill me
I know that's what you want
Kill me, I know that's what you want
Kill me, I know that's all you want
Kill me, I know that's all you, all that you want
One way takes away all the sadness
One way take away all of me
You pushed me to a suicide darkness
Gimme some death mama, my name's misery
Come on and kill me
I know that's what you want
Kill me, I wanna die in your arms forever
Kill me, I know that's what you want
Kill me, so my tortured eyes
Never see you again
There's hate on face, the last that I'll ever see
As I stare into the eyes of my misery
And I'll leave you with the memory of me
My sweetest revenge lies here in your misery
Hooray for the horror of darkness
Horray for the horror is me
I'm inside on the dark ride of madness
Gimme some death daddy, my name's misery
Come on and kill me
I know that's what you want
Kill me, I wanna die in your arms forever
Kill me, I know that's what you want
Kill me, so my tortured eyes
Never see you again
So I never see you again
So I never see you again

Judas Preist - Beyond The Realms Of Death
He had enough
He couldn't take anymore
He'd found a place
In his mind and slammed the door
No matter how they tried
They couldn't understand
They washed and dressed him
Fed him by hand
Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you
Withdrawn he'd sit there
Stare blank into space
No sign of life
Would flicker on his face
Until one day he smiled
It seemed as though with pride
The wind kissed him
Goodbye - and then he died
Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you
Keep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for livin' in
Yeah! I will start again
It can take forever, and ever, and ever
And ever, but I'll still win.
How many like him,
Are there still
But to us, all
Seem to have lost the will
They lie in thousands
Plagued and lost
Is nothing worth this bitter cost
Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you
Keep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for livin' in
Beyond the realms of death.

Blind Guardian- Age of False Innocence
Cut off the light, take a look
There's nothing beyond but pain
Suffer in the deepest void
The flame of hope is gone
What have I done?
Denied the father and the son
For a moment it seemed
There's space beyond the spheres
Aflame the night
So clear and bright
Unstable light
You've been sacrificed in fear
Now there's one thing for sure
I'm not afraid anymore
Day after day we've been fixed in this bowl for so long
For ages we're captured in shells and crystallized walls
Predestined or punished? By Man or God?
I cannot, I will not
Deny It's false innocence
I cannot, I will not
The age of false innocence
Take it away from me
And for a while astronomy has moved the Earth
And we've turned around the Sun
Sanctum Officium
Has made me believe
Has made me believe
Has made me believe
"We know for sure you're lying
Would you like to mess with holy science
You know the fear of dying
Would it be worth it to hear you crying"
I've slaughtered truth and I've shattered my heart
Far too long I have played with hellfire
And science has turned into madness
But I should have taken it higher
So I feel, so I feel
Like Judas must have felt before
That Wednesday night near by the tree
Day after day we will gratefully suffer for more
Predestined's our part so we bleed in the name of God
Don't believe in their eternity
We're still held in blindness
And I've been turned into a liar
If there is no heaven there won't be release
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Johnny Cash- Hurt
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feeling disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cradle of Filth- Suicide and Other Comforts
I pace, alone
In a place for the dead
Overcome by woe
And here, I've grown
So fond of dread
That I swear it's heaven
Oh sweet Mary,
Dressed in grief
Roll back the stone
With these words scrawled in a severed hand
Tears fall like shards of glass that band
In rivers, like sinners
Swept with me to join the damned
A darkened sky
The day that laughter died
Fell swiftly into night
And stayed within Her sight
Staring at the knife
Oh God, how easy now the sacrifice
My life, to have Her with me
So farewell to distant thunder
Those inept stars I've worshipped under
Fall father, their Father
Lies in wait in flames below
Whilst my love, a blood red flower
Calls to me from verdant bowers
Graveside, I cry
Please save me from this Hell I know
A darkened sky
The day that laughter died
Fell swiftly into night
And stayed within Her sight
Staring at the knife
Oh God, how easy now to sacrifice
My life, to have Her with me
An eye for an eye as espied in the bible
My faith is lost to the burning of idols
One less cross to press upon the survival
Of this lorded agony
And I, (much as I have tried
To bury Her from mind,
Fate's tourniquet was tied, when She died...)
Still sense Her presence so divine
Lithe arms about my throat
Like pining swans entwined
Footfalls at nightfall close to mine
Suicide is a tried and tested formula for release
I snatch Her whisper like the wind through cedars
See Her face in every natural feature
Midst the mist and sleepy hollows of fever...
With glee deceiving me
Suicide is a tried and tested formula for release
I hear Her voice from where the grave defies Her
Sirensong to sing along, no finer
Suicide notes, harmonised in a minor
Strike a chord with misery
No light nor reef
No unsinkable of romance keeps me
Safely from the stormy seas
Now drowning, resounding
Death-knells pound my dreams
Unthinkable to dredge through this
Listless and lonely winter frieze
A darken sky
This day hereafter dies
Falls swiftly into night
And stays within my sight
Staring at the knife
Oh God, how ease it was to sacrifice
My life, to have Her with me
No more a victim of a crusade
Where souls are strung from a moral palisade
I slit my wrists and quickly slip away...
I journey now on jewelled sands
Beneath a moon to Summerlands
To grace Her lips with contraband
The blaze once in my veins
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Sins of Thy Beloved- All Alone
I look to the sky
the sun has faded away
the moonlight shines down on me
the gods play their symphonies
I feel so lost I fall on my knees
I think about times that used to be
when we danced just you and me
I cant't find the right words to say
I don't know how to say goodbye
Here...here I am...life is bright...
...There's no sorrow...nothing can stop us...
...Showed us hope....Angel of my forest...
...Saw my perfect...in my own soul.. death is unfair...that's real pain...
...Remoun you...I'm almost dead...
...I've...I've lost my hope...
...My...my will to live...
...My last farewell...forever...all alone...
In my eyes you see no pride
In my eyes you see no light
In my eyes you see a tear
In my eyes you see my fear
In my eyes you see my love
In my eyes you see no plight
In my eyes you see my hate
In my eyes you see my fate
Forever all alone

Scorpions- In Search of the Peice of Mind
When I'm alone I'm feeling blue
Dreaming a dream of a world that's lovely and true
Faintly the dream of a true and wonderful world
And no one will care as long as the world will turn
Faintly the dream of a true and wonderful world
And no one will care as long as the world will turn
And I know a place to go to find my peace of mind
And I know a place to find my peace of mind
And I try
And I try
And I try
And I try

Smashing Pumpkins- Disarm
Disarm you with a smile
And cut you like you want me to
Cut that little child
Inside of me and such a part of you
Ooh, the years burn
I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what i choose is my choice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you
Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who's left alone
Ooh, the years burn
Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn
I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my voice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nevermore- Believe in Nothing
into a strange new world,into the after
all your tears might find you've fallen too far
take another look,take another ride
can't we make them leave the hate behind
and I still believe in nothing
will we ever see the shape of tomorrow?
Into the empty storm,into the formless loss of hope,
Where we can forget the game
And I still believe in nothing
Will we ever see the cure for our sorrow
Nothing is sacred when no one is saved
Nothing's forever so count your days
Nothing is final and no one is real
Pray for tomorrow and find your empty still
Nothing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
W.A.S.P.- All My Life
All my life
Lost in a dream
Through my eyes
A world no one sees
All my life
No place for me
Through me eyes
A child no one needs
I can't take it no more
Can't take it no more
What spirits come from my soul
Can't wait any more
Can't hate any more
Last steps to freedom I go
Can't take it no more
Forsaken for sure
My wishing well's
For washing the lost
Can't wait anymore
My pain is too much
No one hears me
There ain't no love
No shame no more
No blame for sure
My wishing well is
Calling me home
Please don't touch me
Please don't fuck me
Please don't touch me
Please don't touch me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
W.A.S.P. What I'll Never Find
Time to go away
Down a road I cannot hide
Will I have no name
For destiny's I cannot find
Will I wander alone
Forever's lonely road of time
Am I looking for what
I'll never find
Did you call my name
I will be leaving from this dream
Can you feel the pain
Slowly leaving me
Will you hold my hand
And ease me to the other side
Am I looking for what
I'll never find
Can you hear me
Can you hear me in the night
Will you feel me
If you leave me will I cry?
Can you hear me
Can you feel me say goodbye
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
W.A.S.P. - U
Listen to me now
No words, I can say, can describe
How I hate your fucking face
And do you hear me now
You stole my soul with your lies
Your killing zone's where I lie
There you watched me die
You Fuckin Suck
You Fuckin Suck
You Fuckin Suck
Can you see yourself
I lie in my bed
Fantasizing your death
Here I lie
Can you see yourself, and
How do you sleep
With what you are
What you turned out to be
Fuck you, kill yourself
You Fuckin Suck
You Fuckin Suck
You Fuckin Suck
Liar you know I do I wish you well
Liar I died for you I wish you well in hell ...in hell

Blind Guardian - Blood Tears
Welcome to my realm
We are both condemned to live
It's a dark fate
(I can hear your calls
I can hear your calls)
THE ETERNAL LIFE
I see it still burns
Each night I cry in pain
Alive
Though the end appears my friend
And blood tears I cry
You've searched and you've found
Cut off your old friends hand
My mind's
In frozen dreams
The rotten flesh
Of bitter lies
Welcome to where time stands still
Noone leaves and noone ever will
Can't hold it
It burns
Each night I cry in pain
And blood tears I cry
Endless grief remained inside
And blood tears I cry
Endless grief remained inside
It seems so clearly
Bent the bow
Cause life in me is gone
And a cruel wind's blowing cold
And a cruel wind's blowing cold
In blame
And life it shall wane
Each night I cry in pain
And blood tears I cry
Endless grief remained inside
Cut off your old friends hand
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blind Guardian - The Eldar
I've seen the moon
And the first sunrise
I'll leave it to the memories
And kiss the wind goodbye
For the Eldar
I'm trapped inside this dream
Of the Eldar's
Song of doom
I've tasted poison
When I drank the wine of fate
But the fear was in my heart
I realized too late
The house of spirits call
For the Eldar
I'm trapped inside this dream
Of the Eldar's
Song of the doom
High's the fee
Soon my spirit will return
Welcome dawn
Your light will take me home
I say farewell
To the Eldar
I'm trapped inside this dream
Of the Eldar's
Song of doom

FIST- All Over The World
Bend Me, Wrap Me Up And Send Me

So Take Me
I Never Meant To Quit On You
I Never Meant To Quit On You

W.A.S.P.- The Horror
There's a red worm crawling in my head
Cut in half worm, in my blood he lies red
And I see him in my head
It's my nightmare, oh it's my dream
He's inside here silencing my screams
Alone on a razor's edge
Alone sliding on the razor's edge
I'm the horror on the edge
Cause I, I'm the worm that cometh
I am him I am hell, I am god, I'm the devil all in one
The eyes that hide the face inside
Come stare into my eyes
A killer's listening to horrors in my head
He's bleeding, sliding on the razor's edge
Through my eyes he watches me
He lies inside watching me
There's a red noise deep inside my head
An obscure noise and the smell of slow death
If there's a hell then I'll be there
I am god, obscene death
I'm the worm on razor's edge
All pigs die Kill, Fuck die
I am hell, godless me
I am pagan idolatry
Kneel before the horror
Kneel before the horror
Fuck me, kill me, drink my blood
Fuck me, kill me, drink my blood
All pigs die, kill, Fuck, die
Kill, Fuck, die
Kill, Fuck, die
Kill, Fuck, die
I'm the horror on the edge
Cause I, I'm the worm that cometh I am him I am hell
I am god, I'm the devil all in one
The eyes that hide the face inside
Come stare into my eyes

Atreyu- A Song For The Optimists
Blow the last candle out. Let the wax harden
I wish I could stop crying. And I wish that someone still loved me
Just breathe and focus. How can I when the air is so cold and empty,
That my lungs froze right in my chest.
I'll be honest the silver linings are getting harder and harder to manufacture
And the smiles are so difficult to fake.
What do I have to do, or who do I have to kill, to get what I want. What I need
Happiness is an emotion I was born to this world without,
nothing pleases me. And I can never be satiated.
Through this toil I will breed my own distress and destroy my best hopes,
fuck up the only things that I love.
I watched my aspirations crashing to the ground, on the backs of the angels that I've slain.
But I meant so well, I tried so hard, gave everyting in my soul, to what end, to what end
Desolation, desire, exhale, pass away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Atreyu- Bleeding Hearts Shed No Tears
After all that has transpired
After all thats taken place
After all the stab wounds
And just just before my death
I rise pheonix, like anew
From the still burning ashes of false hearts lies
To fly once again, to shine from within
Dismember my myself
Severe my viens
Poisen myself
A heartless joke
Slash at my neck
Gouge out my eyes
Screaming in agony
You pacify me.
Bleeding hearts shed no tears
Soaked all the way through with remorse and regret
Fire to purify my soul and blood to replenish it
I search in hopes of completion to justify my love for you
Nothing ever ends where our souls begin
Nothing can save me from myself
You keep me safe
Resurrecting my love
An angel like you
Can never fall
Heaven i found
Right in my arms
I found love in you
I find truth in you
I see light in you
And it horrifies me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Atreyu- Someones Standing On My Chest
Starving searching this barren wasteland
Trying to grasp being this alone
Pleading for a breath of fresh air, someone's standing on my chest
Dying I'm asphyxiating myself
Break myself slave to my weakness choke on my words
Oh I'm drowning and I feel so alone
The lights are on and I wish I was home
My lips are screaming pretty nothings
My ears are bleeding for want of words, fuck words I need actions
Hope as left me fucking shattered
Someone's standing on my chest
Alone would be a pleasant change from here
How do you gauge loneliness how you ever felt so alone
It feels like the light will never reach me here
I am choking back my longing for shed tears
So strangulated by my lonesome fears plead
Don't worry too much, it only hurts when I breathe
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Atreyu- Five Vicodins Chased With A Shot Of Clarity
After all this time of asking questions
Of trying to find something to quiet this soul
I'm left alone within my mind into this self-made hell I delve
It's not as hot as you think
More so dark and cold with no room to breathe
I'm sorry, I don't think it's going to be okay this time
My heart has skipped its final beat
It's beating me down onto the floor
That must mean that the pills are working
The glass isn't half empty this time
I smashed it to the ground a long long time ago
It shattered when it fell and I broke to pieces
Each shard's another reason, another way to give up
This skin is so tight that the air can't reach my brain
There is nothing telling my heart to beat any faster
To let me scream for help, I will never give up
I will never take the easy way out
This is life
This is struggle
This is love
This is war
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nevermore- Evolution 169
Welcome to the pleasure dome ,now take a seat the crowd is watching you
Just rats in this experiment
Now learn the maze but don't tear yourself in two
Don't let it pull you down
And one by one we crawl,and two by two
Into the mouth of madness, we seek the perfect view
We reach another turn then fall out of time
In organized chaos
Evolution 169
You can touch but never taste the answers
Like the way that I want you
Today I killed my ego,if hell is real
Dear god please tie mynoose
And then he pulled me down
And one by one we crawl,and two by two
Into the mouth of madness we seek the perfect view
We reach another turn then fall out of time
In organized chaos
Evolution 169
And one by one we crawl,and two by two
Into the mouth of madness, we fly away
Don't set your mind to one side
Don't set your mind to one side
