Blind Guardian - "The Soulforged."

I am not insane
That is how it seems, though
Spiteful, cruel but wise
Beyond his age
My body fails
My soul will rise

The end of life is immortalised
Disease and agony
And I see death through golden eyes
Beyond the door
There is something more
It seems there is just one way

On through the heat
I have felt the touch of evil
I still feel the icy claw in me

For a decent price
I have banned kindness from my heart
The spirit of all truth and beauty
Pawned for my desire

And from the flames
As chance would have it
The soulforged will come into light
And from the flames
As chance would have it
The soulforged, the stainless will rise

I will never change my mind
I will leave it all behind

And through the hourglass
Everything is grey
Everyone is pale
No colour nor beauty will enlighten my heart
The seat of life is empty and cold
Cadaverous you all seem to me
Stillborn; but you are still alive
You are still alive

Truth lies in loneliness
When hope has long gone by
I will wipe out the bliss of the new age
And welcome you, precious night

And from the flames
As chance would have it
The soulforged will come into light
And from the flames
As chance would have it
The soulforged, the stainless will rise

From a distant time
Voices echo in the hall
"Come and join us
Enter life and everything is gone now."

And through the looking glass
I still fear mortality and its loss in the end
Unlimited power in my hands
The claw of the dragon ascends
"Mourn for his lost soul
He is cursed and condemned."

Each step I take
May it hurt, may it ache
Leads me further away from the past
But as long as I breathe
Each smile on my bleak face
I'm on my way to find...?
Back to some peace of mind

And from the flames
As chance would have it
The soulforged will come into light
And from the flames
As chance would have it
The soulforged, the stainless will rise

I will never change my mind
I will leave it all behind.

Daniel Bedingfield - "If You're Not The One."

If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call?
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all?

I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I'm praying you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side

I don’t wanna run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

Something Corporate - "Watch The Sky."

I'm lost at sea
The radio is jamming, but they won't find me
I swear it's for the best, and then your frequency
Is pulling me in closer till I'm home

And I've been up for days, I finally lost my mind,
And then I lost my way, I'm blistered but I'm better
And I'm home

I will crawl, there's things that are worth giving up,
I know, but I won't let this get me,
I will fight, you live the life you're given with the storms outside,
Some days all I do is watch the sky

This room's too small, it's only getting smaller,
Up against the wall, I'm slowly getting taller,
In this wonderland, your skin feels so familiar
And I'm home

I'll crawl, there's things that are worth giving up
I know, but I won't let this get me,
I will fight, you live the life you're given with the storms outside,
Some days all I do is watch the sky

And some days
All I do is watch the sky

And I think I, I could use a little break
Today was a good day
And I think I, I could use a little break,
But today was a good day

And it's a deep sea in which I'm floating,
And still I sink to think that I must...

Crawl, there's things that are worth giving up
I know, when you can't bear to carry me,
I'll fight, you live the life you're given with the storms outside
And some days all I do is watch the sky

Today was a good day
Today was a good day...
