Life comes at us fast. We all gotta be faster.

Chorus of Angels
Destroy my silence
That haunts me
That claims me
While darkness walks beside me

Chorus of Angels
Destroy my silence
That haunts me
That claims me
While darkness walks beside me

I saw the Angels sing along to wake up the beautiful sleeping world
Their voices will rise to test the strength of man
Wake up the beautiful sleeping world

We will see the fire
The skies will open up
The clouds will burn red and our sins will forget us
And time will not shake us
Our hearts are made of gold
These walls won’t over take us
These walls won’t over take us
 
I saw the Angels sing along to wake up the beautiful sleeping world
Their voices will rise to test the strength of man
Wake up the beautiful sleeping world

We will see the fire
The skies will open up
The clouds will burn red and our sins will forget us
And time will not shake us
Our hearts are made of gold
These walls won’t over take us
These walls won’t over take us

I saw the Angels sing along to wake up the beautiful sleeping world
Their voices will rise to test the strength of man
Wake up the beautiful sleeping world

Chorus of Angels
Destroy my silence
That haunts me
That claims me
While darkness walks beside me

Chorus of Angels
Destroy my silence
That haunts me
That claims me
While darkness walks beside me

I saw the Angels sing along to wake up the beautiful sleeping world
Chorus of Angels! Lead me! Lead me!!!
I saw the Angels sing, wake up the beautiful sleeping world
In a prayer that will shake the foundations of the earth! OF THE EARTH!

Wake up now

Haste the Day — Chorus of Angels

Well ya, took my day and you flipped it around
Calmed the tidal wave and put my feet on the ground
Forever in my heart, always on my mind
It’s crazy how I think about you all of the time

And just when I think I’m ‘bout to figure you out
You make me wanna sing and shout

I love the way you hold me, by my side you’ll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love the way you hold me, in your arms I’ll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way

I love you more than the words in my brain can express
I can’t imagine even loving you less

This pain is not yours.
The depth behind this distrust breathes life from the dark side.
Born from the other side.
The depth behind, straight from behind this other side.

When others lead lives that bend the rules put in place.
This giving (this giving), this ripping.
When others lead lives that bend the rules put in place.
This giving (this giving). This weight won’t last on you.

Giving all, unconditional, this takes a pure heart.
Sweet and true, yours is of gold, the best I know.
Now it’s time to stop the over and over. Now it’s time…

Let your responsibility be the change!
Let your endurance be the change!
Born from the other side!
The depth behind, straight from this other side!

There are plenty of reminders. Don’t forget the battle has been won.
There are plenty of reminders. Don’t forget the battle is won.

You are still a diamond in the rough.
Hold true to the way that you are
and He will bring you through…
Will bring you through!
Hold true to the way that you are
and He will bring you through (will bring you through)…
Will bring you through!

Life In Your Way — Take Notes

There’s got to be a better way
They dissect everything we say
To try to make us feel this way

And you can take the one thing I have left
I’d give it all away for so much less
Can even take the heart inside my chest
Woah-woah.
And you can take the one thing I have left
Beat me to the ground and take my breath
But you can’t take who I am
woah-woah.

Hawk Nelson — The One Thing I Have Left

Push your controlling values aside, and dissect your own life.
It’s not about my beliefs. It’s about personal choice.
It breaks your heart to see me consume, but it shatters mine to see people follow you.
Ask me to be blameless. You ask me to be blameless.
You ask me to be blameless, but who are you to decide what’s right?
Don’t say another word. Don’t say another word.
You’ve crossed the line. Don’t say another word.
You’ve crossed the line. Don’t say another word.
You’ve crossed the line. Don’t say another word.
You’ve crossed the line.
Let’s go…
I won’t hesitate to put you in your place.
You are the straw that’s crushing my back.
You ask me to be blameless.
You ask me to be blameless, but who are you to decide what’s right?
Don’t say another word…
However, I thank you for this pen and ink ammunition.
Thank you for the inspiration.
You’re the straw that’s crushing my back.
You are the salt that’s burning my wounds.
You’re the straw that’s crushing my back.
You are the salt that’s burning my wounds.
You’re the straw that’s crushing my back.
You are the salt that’s burning my wounds.


August Burns Red — White Washed

This song reminds me of quite a few people I’ve known in my life.
that’s why I love ABR. I don’t care if you can’t understand the lyrics without reading them, the lyrics here are deeper then any piece of crap you’ll hear on the radio today.

They have heart and meaning.  They talk about REAL things.  THINGS OF THE SOUL.  Not how much money you got, or how many “shorties” you got hanging around you.   No cars, no drugs, no sex.  NOT ALL OF THAT BULL CRAP!  It’s real music, because it talks about real feelings and issues.  The crap you always hear on the highly numbered radio stations?  That’s people bragging.  That’s not music!  That’s obnoxious people who are so obsessed with themselves.  They don’t write the song for you! They write it for the money.  Some of these groups, like ABR.  They write the music for their listeners.  They want to make a point.   They want to make a message.  They want to warn people, of mistakes they made.  They’re like parents without all the nagging.  XD 

They are the people WORTH listening to.  I DON’T CARE IF YOU CAN’T UNDERSTAND THEM WITHOUT LOOKING UP THE LYRICS.  Are you going to sit there and tell me you honestly haven’t looked up the lyrics to songs as simple as something from a mellower band like… idk Mumford and Sons??? or just any of that softer stuff you can actually hear?  You look up the lyrics anyway.  Don’t lie.  You don’t want to be wrong.  If you can waste your time doing that, what excuse do you have to not look up lyrics for songs like these?  To see a stronger message?  TO SEE A FREAKING POINT BEING MADE!  And made well. 
No seriously.  If you got an answer for me, please give it to me. 

This is why I listen to Metal.  It’s the most heartfelt music I’ve ever seen.  and I’m not after all that death and violence bull crap either.  Of course most all my music is Christian, but even if it wasn’t, I wouldn’t go off listening to bands that talk about all the senseless insanity and lust for killing etc. etc.  I stopped listening to bands like Disturbed and Slipknot for that reason. 

They scream, because they are desperate for you to hear!  They scream because what they’re talking about is so close to their heart.   They scream because it has meaning.  They scream because they could humanly have no other way to express it.  They scream….. because it sounds freaking awesome!  XD  But more so for the other points.

If you don’t normally listen to metal or screamo or hardcore or whatever the heck you label this music and artists similar as, I’m begging you here when I say just go out on your own effort and listen to a few.  Just look up a few bands and find the lyrics.  Turn it down if you think it’s too loud.  BUT JUST READ WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY.  Trust me, after a few readings, it sticks in your mind.  The stuff gets to you, because it’s so REAL!  That’s how I’d describe metal.   Real.  Real music, with real meaning.  It’ll grow on you somewhere in that heart of yours, I’m sure! (:

kk I’m done ranting.  At least enjoy the song XD

I’ve feared the deepest darkest secrets that live inside of me.
Defeat and tragedy, walking in shame, finding nowhere to hide.
I’ve thrown my bottles of guilt into the sea, hoping the waves carry them away from me.

Oh….

My heart is beating. I’ll never stop fighting. I’ll keep breathing…
My heart is beating. I’ll never stop fighting. I’ll keep breathing to stay
alive.

And here I go, off to make a change. I’m screaming… screaming revival.

All of my strength, all of my might, will go into this to take back my life.
All of my strength, all of my might, will go back into this to take back my
life…
…my life… my life… my life. I’m taking back my life… my life… my
life… my life… taking back my life.

Let’s go….

This song is music to my ears… (this song is music…)
and is a new production on an old stage (…on an old stage).
I won’t dwell in unhappiness (I will not dwell in…), grasping humility,
asking forgiveness.
Tomorrow is gone, I’ll start living for today. I’ll never stop the fighting and
I’ll take it all away.
Tomorrow is gone, I’ll start living for today. I’ll never stop the fighting and
I’ll take it away

August Burns Red — Internal Cannon

Okay… even if you’re not a a metalhead like me… trust me when I say if you just listen to this whole song, and read the lyrics along… you’ll find a connection for it.  I believe it talks about something very real that is relative to ALL OF US.  We all suffer pain in our lives, but we need to overcome that pain, and pull ourselves out of it.  Nobody is going to truly do that for us.  We may get help, but ultimately, it’s up to us in the end.  By our own willpower can we overcome the things that bother us.
Also, this song breaks into some epic salsa grooves every once in a while XD

So even if you’re like “EWWW METAL! EWWW SCREAMING!”  Just please listen to it once.  And see how you feel afterwards.  I haven’t always been a fan of metal, so believe me when I say it is bearable and can grow on you.
Metal more often then not talks about real, deep, and meaningful feelings we have.  It is extremely heartfelt music, and once you comprehend that, the screaming and growling makes a little more sense.

Of course you don’t have too.  You could just read all this and be like “Nah!”  or not even read this at all and just zoom by as you go through the billions of tumblr posts on your dashboard.  It’s all up to you (:
Have an awesome day tumblr peepz!

May not be the most wholesome of artists but I have alot of respect for Eminem.  He’s a great artist… and do has quite a heart under some of his songs… which is why I love this one!
