Music Theme Suggestions

[River]

I figure we should organize all of this before we can make a poll...

But, pretty much, post the title, artist, lyrics and a link to any and all songs you wish to offer up as themes for the promo. Anyone and everyone can participate and you can put up as many as you like.

Then, I figure we (as in the whole site) can have a discussion of some sort maybe tomorrow or some time later to narrow the selections down to a few, at which point a poll will be made and everyone will vote. I just figure we need to get the song selected so we can more accurately organize and plan out what scenes we will be using for the promo.

As more and more planning is going into this, I'm beginning to see this as more of an animated music video for the site than a movie promo. You know, more of a compiling of action sequences and character shots than an actual story with a plotline and everything. So, I'd advise against slow or sappy songs. We need something active, something relatively fast paced, though having a few slow parts would only be a plus. ;3 But do take into account that the lyrics matter. So, even if a song is like really crazy and sounds really good, if the guy is singing about his girlfriend and constantly refers to her throughout the song, it might not work. Hellion Reign is about anger and rebellion, not romance... but I'm sure you all already know that. ^^

So, um... suggest away? Oh, and you can double post all you want in this thread. Sometimes, it just makes things easier if you don't post fifty songs and their lyrics all at once... Plus, I'm probably going to double post in a minute with my suggestions. ^^;

*"Riot" by Three Days Grace*

If you feel so empty
So used so let down
If you feel so angry
So ripped off so stepped on
You're not the only one
Refusing to back down
You're not the only one
So get up

Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot

If you feel so filthy
So dirty so fucked up
If you feel so walked on
So painful so pissed off
You're not the only one
Refusing to go down
You're not the only one
So get up

Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot

If you feel so empty
So used up, so let down
If you feel so angry
Just get up

Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot

*Do note that Riot is currently my number one choice. ^^

"Time of Dying" by Three Days Grace

On the ground I lay
Motionless in pain
I can see my life flashing before my eyes
Dead I fall asleep
Is this all a dream
Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare

I will not die (I will not die)
I will survive

I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying

On this bed I lay
Losing everything
I can see my life passing me by
Was it all too much
Or just not enough
Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare

I will not die (I will not die)
I will survive

I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying

I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying

The Coheed fangirl in me made me do it. D: One of my suggestions is "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3" by Coheed and Cambria. Certainly not the whole song (it's 8 minutes long!!), just the last minute or so. It's quiet, then slowly builds from a few notes of an acoustic guitar to this whole epic thing. It's not hateful, just really powerful. And it's got a cool chorus-thing going on, too. All of Coheed's songs fit into a story, so they have that for them. Delirium Trigger might work, too.

Coheed and Cambria- "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3" (Never mind that it's in a music video-- you can't tell what they're saying in the live version)
A broad incision sits across the evening
The victim to our fathers lost war
The restless children sit and mourn the graves
Of those they've never seen before
Will they be buried here among the dead?
In the silent secret

[Chorus:]
The pioneers
In dealing with it they march for dawn, of Will and worthy
The truth be told the child was born
Man your own jackhammer
Man your battle stations
We'll have you dead pretty soon
And now
Sincerely written from my brother's blood machine
Man your battle stations
We'll have you home pretty soon
And now

Awake through motion with curiosity to curtain your first move
Over arms length they'll break protocol
Jealous envy for the youngest one
To be the hero is all I'll ask
Can I be buried here among the dead?
With room to honor me here in the end
You'll be better off too soon
You'll be better off when you get home

[Chorus]

For you,
I'd do anything just to make you happy, hear you tell me that you’re proud of me
For them,
I'll kill anything cut the throats of babies for them break their hearts for they were them
Waiting for you to say: I love you too

The navigator
The pilot
Her favorite
The one they call the vision that bears the gift
[x2]

Will,
Do the children really understand the things you did to them?
And why oh why…
Should they conjure up the will for you my love I would kill him
we're coming home pretty soon
Coming home

In the seventh turning hour
Will the victims shadow fall?
Should the irony grow hungry?
With the victory and all they sought for
We were one among the fence
One among the fence

[Guitar riffs and vocalizing]

We're coming home

Man your own jackhammer
Man your battle stations
We'll have you dead pretty soon
And now
Sincerely written from my brother's blood machine
Man your battle stations
We'll have you home pretty soon
tonight[/b]

I walk the lonely road by Green Day

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's messed up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...

The Used - Sound Effects And Overdramatics
www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8hYRF4xpbc



When the shirt came off, it was all in time
When a minute turned into a mile
And then I broke that grin, and I cut it out
And you got all turned on by the taste of your sin
When I mention blue, all you thought was color
When you mention drugs, all I thought was sober
When your pants came off and I turned you over
When you mention blue

Kill, smile, cut it out for me this time
Smile, haven't seen him smile in awhile.

Keep the mask aligned
Get it up in time
There's a space between valleys
and try and catch a vibe
Make a circle square, a rectangle curve
Use a smile as a noun and I think like a verb
Run quick switch sides
Spill the filled up canister
And the room is shaking
Now you're changing places,
and I switched my pace,
and my breathing races when you mention blue

Kill, smile, cut it out for me this time
Smile, haven't seen him smile in awhile.
Kill, smile, cut it out for me this time
Smile, haven't seen him smile in awhile.
You, smile, cut out for me cut it cut it out
Smile, cut it out for me cut it cut it out
We cut it out
Get down and stay awake
Smile

"Prayer" by Disturbed

Another dream that will never come true
Just to compliment your sorrow
Another life that I've taken from you
A gift to add on to your pain and suffering
Another truth you can never believe
Has crippled you completely
All the cries you're beginning to hear
Trapped in your mind, and the sound is deafening

Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray

[Chorus:]
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive, inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away

Another nightmare about to come true
Will manifest tomorrow
Another love that I've taken from you
Lost in time, on the edge of suffering
Another taste of the evil I breed
Will level you completely
Bring to life everything that you fear
Live in the dark, and the world is threatening

Let me enlighten you
This is the way i pray

[chorus]

Return to me
Leave me no one
Turn to me
Return to me
Cast aside

You've made me turn away

[chorus]

"Pain" by Three Days Grace <- Last TDG song, I swear it. X3

Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

You're sick of feeling numb
You're not the only one
I'll take you by the hand
And I'll show you a world that you can understand
This life is filled with hurt
When happiness doesn't work
Trust me and take my hand
When the lights go out you will understand

Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

Anger and agony
Are better than misery
Trust me I've got a plan
When the lights go off you will understand

Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing
Rather feel pain

I know (I know I know I know I know)
That you're wounded
You know (You know you know you know you know)
That I'm here to save you
You know (You know you know you know you know)
I'm always here for you
I know (I know I know I know I know)
That you'll thank me later

Pain, without love
Pain, can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Rather feel pain than nothing at all
Rather feel pain

"Hounds" by Savatage

Sun sets on the moon
The cry of the hounds live forevermore
Stalking the night
They roam the countryside till morning's light

Do you hear the hounds they call
Scan the dark eyes aglow
Through the bitter rain and cold
They hunt you down
Hunt you down

They run wild and free
Across the fields and valleys of their native land
Nature's beasts derranged
Beyond belief no one understands

Do you hear the hounds they call
Scan the dark eyes aglow
Through the bitter rain and cold
They hunt you down
Hunt you down

Can you hear them in the night
They got you in their sight

Do you hear the hounds they call
Scan the dark eyes aglow
Through the bitter rain and cold
They hunt you down
Hunt you down

[River]

"Rise" by Disturbed (one of River's theme songs)
((Do forgive the poor sound quality. It sounds better normally...))

Rise
Throw away
The charade of your life
Let the flame of my heart
Burn away
Your complacence tonight
I command you to rise
Wash away
The decay of your life
Feel the light of your eyes
Find the way
Through the darkness tonight
Fearing no one

Do you really think I covet like you do

Come, take me away
Remove the fear from my eyes
Feel the flame of my heart
Burning away
All conversation tonight
Hearing no one

Am I precious to you now

Now rise
Turn away
From the shame of your life
Feel the light from my eyes
Offering
Consolation tonight
Fearing no one

Do you really think I covet like you do

Come, take me away
Remove the fear from my eyes
Feel the flame of my heart
Burning away
All conversation tonight
Hearing no one

Now, I cannot stop this
Pure emotion
Falling from my eyes
You are vindicating
Liberating
Saviors of my soul

[:O Corpeh]

Really short, but I like it. xD
Gypsy of Atonement-From Hellsing


The death wish wind is blowing into the life
That suffering, that emptiness, that pain in the chest
Inescapable criminal's destiny
No matter how difficult the path is
Don't look away, keep on living
That is expiation, expiation...

Numb by Likin Park? I don't know the lyrics though sorry.

[Cerberus]

Artist: Pillar
Song: Frontline
Example: Here[/b]

It's not like I'm walking alone into the valley of the shadow of death
Stand beside one another, 'cause it ain't over yet
I'd be willing to bet that if we don't back down
You and I will be the ones that are holding the Crown in the end
When it's over, we can say, "Well done"
But not yet, 'cause it's only begun
So, pick up, and follow me, we're the only ones
To fight this thing, until we've won
We drive on and don't look back
It doesn't mean we can't learn from our past
All the things that we mighta done wrong
We could've been doing this all along

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

And we'll be carrying on, until the day it doesn't matter anymore
Step aside, you forgot what this is for
We fight to live, we live to fight
And tonight, you'll hear my battle cry
We live our lives on the frontlines
We're not afraid of the fast times
These days have opened up my eyes
And now, I see where the threat lies

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

We've got to lead the way

We've got to lead the way

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Stand aside on the frontline
Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

Song: Nobody's Real
Example: Here[/b]

(Alright) [x2]
Scary monsters
And super beasts
The more you dream the less you sleep, ah
Life as we know it
Has gone away
Unbound
Unwound
Who's here to stay, alright

Nobody's real but they're willing to let you know
Nobody's real but they'll feel it tonight
(Feel it tonight)
Nobody's real but they're willing to let you go
Nobody's real but they'll feel it

Nobody's real

Could you predict?
Could you forsee?
Artificial by necessity
Rockets and robots
Can save your life
When you don't care about what's real it's alright, OK

Nobody's real but they're willing to let you know
Nobody's real but they'll feel it tonight
(Feel it tonight)
Nobody's real but they're willing to let you go
Nobody's real but they'll feel it

(Alright) [x4]

How do you sleep with the time that's left you?
It's all been done there's no need for the rescue
So let's just get out
I swear there's no doubt
You can't be ready cause there's nothing left to do, OK

Nobody's real but they're willing to let you know
Nobody's real but they'll feel it tonight
(Feel it tonight)
Nobody's real but they're willing to let you go
Nobody's real but they'll feel it
(Feel it tonight)
Nobody's real but they're willing to let you know
Nobody's real but they'll feel it tonight
(Feel it tonight)
Nobody's real but they're willing to let you go
Nobody's real but they'll feel it

Nobody's real

Song: They
Examples: Here[/b]

Who made up all the rules
We follow them like fools
Believe them to be true
Don't care to think them through

I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry it's like this
I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry we do this

And it's ironic too
Coz what we tend to do
Is act on what they say
And then it is that way

I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry it's like this
I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry we do this

Who are they
Where are they
How can they possibly
know all this

Who are they
Where are they
How can they possibly
know all this

Do you see what I see
Why do we live like this
Is it because it's true
that ignorance is bliss

Who are they
Where are they
How do they
know all this
I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry it's like this

Do you see what I see
Why do we live like this
Is it because it's true
that ignorance is bliss

Who are they
Where are they
How can they
know all this
I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry we do this

Song: Bullets
Example: Here

Walking around I hear the earth seekihng relief
I'm trying to find a reason to live
But the mindless clutter my path
Oh these thorns in my side
I know I have something free
I have something so alive
I think they shoot cause they want it

I feel forces all around me
Come on raise your head
Those who hide behind the shadows
Live with all that's dead

Look at me
Look at me (Look at me)
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet through my head
Through my head
Through my head
Through my head

In my lifetime when I'm disgraced
By jealousy and lies
I laugh aloud 'cause my life
Has gotten inside someone else's mind

Look at me
Look at me (Look at me)
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet through my head
Through my head
Through my head
Through my head

(Look at me)
(Look at me)

Hey all I want is what's real
Something I touch and can feel
I'll hold it close and never let it go
Said why...why do we live this life
With all this hate inside
I'll give it away 'cause I don't want it no more
Please help me find a place
Somewhere far away I'll go
Yes I'll go and you'll never see me again

Look at me
Look at me
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet through my head
Through my head
Through my head
Through my head

Look at me
Look at me
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet through my head
Through my head
Through my head
Through my head

Look at me
Look at me
Look at me

Song: Blow Me Away
Example: Here

They fall in line
One at a time
Ready to play
(I can't see them anyway)
No time to lose
We've got to move
Steady you hand
(I am losing sight again)

[Bridge]
Fire your guns,
It's time to run,
Blow me away.
(I will stay, in the mess I made)
After the fall,
We'll shake it off,
Show me the way.

[Chorus]
Only the strongest will survive,
Lead me to heaven when we die,
I am a shadow on the wall,
I'll be the one to save us all.

There's nothing left,
So save your breath,
Lying in wait.
(Caught inside this tidal wave)
Your cover's blown,
Nowhere to go,
Holding your fate.
(Loaded I will walk alone)

[Bridge]
Fire your guns,
It's time to run,
Blow me away.
(I will stay, in the mess I made)
After the fall,
We'll shake it off,
Show me the way.

[Chorus]
Only the strongest will survive,
Lead me to heaven when we die,
I am a shadow on the wall,
I'll be the one to save us all.

Wanting it back
(Don't fight me now!)

(Back off!)

(Die!)

Only the strongest will survive,
Lead me to heaven when we die,
I am a shadow on the wall,
I'll be the one to save us all..

Save us all!

Artist: The Rasmus
Song: Last Generation
Example: Here

We stopped and left the car
The last thing I can recall
A raging wave of light
Vaporized all this life

We ran into the field
Incapable to breathe

Rest in peace it's all over now
It's the end of salvation
Memories in the photographs
Of the last generation
Of the last generation

I've seen this in my dream
A petrified family
Pointing hands at me
Victims of the tragedy

And dust replaced their souls
Hearts turned into stone

Rest in peace it's all over now
It's the end of salvation
Memories in the photographs
Of the last generation
Of the last generation

And dust replaced their souls
Minds turned into stone

Rest in peace is all over now
It's the end of salvation
Memories in the photographs
Of the last generation
Of the last generation

Rest in peace is all over now
It's the end of salvation
Memories in the photographs
Of the last generation
Of the last generation

There's so much more to know
I guess I'll die another day
It's not my time to go

For every sin, I'll have to pay
I've come to work, I've come to play
I think I'll find another way
It's not my time to go

I'm gonna avoid the cliché
I'm gonna suspend my senses
I'm gonna delay my pleasure
I'm gonna close my body now

I guess I'll die another day
I guess I'll die another day
I guess I'll die another day
I guess I'll die another day


I think I'll find another way
There's so much more to know
I guess I'll die another day

Artist: Within Temptation
Song: Jillian
Example: Here

I've been dreaming for so long,
To find a meaning to understand.
The secret of life,
Why am I here to try again?

Will I always, will you always
See the truth when it stares you in the face?
Will I ever, will I never free myself
By breaking these chains?

I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul
I'd turn it back, it's my fault.
Your destiny is forlorn,
Have to live till it's undone.
I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul
I'd turn it back and then at last I'll be on my way.

I've been living for so long,
Many seasons have passed me by.
I've seen kingdoms through the ages
Rise and fall, I've seen it all.

I've seen the horror, I've seen the wonders
Happening just in front of my eyes.
Will I ever, will I never free myself by making it right?

I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul
I'd turn it back, it's my fault.
Your destiny is forlorn,
Have to live till it's undone.
I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul
I'd turn it back and then at last I'll be on my way.

Jillian our dream ended long ago.
All our stories and all our glory I held so dear.
We won't be together
For ever and ever, no more tears.
I'll always be here until the end.
Jillian, no more tears...
Jillian, no more tears...

I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul
I'd turn it back, it's my fault.
Your destiny is forlorn,
Have to live till it's undone.
I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul
I'd turn it back and then at last I'll be on my way.
