Slipknot's "All Hope is Gone" album cover. [Formatted]

Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
Love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage—again

If you love me let me go, and run away before I know
My heart is too dark to care
I can’t destroy what isn’t there
Deliver me unto my fate
If I’m alone I cannot hate
I don’t deserve to have you
My smile was taken long ago
If I can change, I hope I never know

I still press your letters to my lips and cherish them in the parts of me that savored every kiss
I couldn’t face a life without your light, but all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight

Save your breath, I will not hear
I think I made it very clear
You couldn’t hate enough for love—is that supposed to be enough?
I only wish you weren’t my friend then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint
My own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go

Break yourself against my stones and spit pity into my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself
And I won’t listen to your shame
You ran away—you’re all the same
Angels lie to keep control
My love was punished long ago
If you still care, don’t ever let me know

She’s the Fire and the Fallout

Break the Man icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 04 from The Tipping Point LP by Tears for Fears icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

This was never what I thought it was
This is not who we are
This is where someone was meant to say, “Enough is enough”
This is nothing like they said it would be
This has all gone too far
When everything is running out, this is love

She’s the fire and the fallout
She reminds you of the things we never talk about
She’s the lover with the best-laid plan to break the man
She’s a sinner in a side show
She feels at home when there’s nowhere left to go
She’s the devil you understand
Break the man

No more tearing the bandages off
No more living a lie
No more chewing the scenery
No more rain, no more rain
No more wondering what happens now
No more holding your feet to the fire
When everything is running down, no more pain

She’s the fire and the fallout
She reminds you of the things we never talk about
She’s the lover with the best-laid plan to break the man
She’s the trouble in the headline
She’s the mother who turns back Father Time
She’s the devil you understand
Break the man

No more wondering what happens now
No more holding your feet to the fire
When everything is running down, this is love

She’s the fire and the fallout
She reminds you of the things we never talk about
She’s the lover with the best-laid plan to break the man
She’s the trouble in the headline
She’s the mother who turns back Father Time
She’s the devil you understand
Break the man

Poisoning Their Brainwashed Minds

War Pigs icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 01 from the Paranoid LP by Black Sabbath icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

Generals gathered in their masses just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction: the sorcerer of Death’s construction
In the fields are bodies burning as the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind—poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh Lord!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why shouldn’t they go out to fight?
Leave that role to the poor

Time will tell on their power-mad minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait until their judgment day comes

Now in darkness the world stops turning
With ashes where there were bodies burning
No more War Pigs have the power
The hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgment, God is calling
On their knees the War Pigs are crawling and begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh Lord!

Crash to the Other Shore or Swim to the Ocean Floor

Swim icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 02 from the Ray of Light LP by Madonna icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

Madonna's "Ray of Light" album cover. [Formatted]

Put your head on my shoulder, things can’t get any worse
The night is getting colder
Sometimes life feels like it’s a curse

I can’t carry these sins on my back
I don’t want to carry any more
I’m going to careen this train off the tracks
I’m going to swim to the ocean floor

Crash to the other shore or swim to the ocean floor

Children killing children
Students rape their teachers
Comets fly across the sky
Churches burn their preachers

We can’t carry these sins on our backs
We don’t want to carry any more
We’re going to careen this train off the tracks
We’re going to swim to the ocean floor

Crash to the other shore or swim to the ocean floor

Let the water wash over you—wash it all over you
Swim to the ocean floor
So that we can begin again
Wash away all our sin
And crash to the other shore

I can’t carry these sins on my back
I don’t want to carry any more
I’m going to careen this train off the tracks
I’m going to swim to the ocean floor

Crash to the other shore or swim to the ocean floor

We can’t carry these sins on our backs
We don’t want to carry any more
We’re going to careen this train off the tracks
We’re going to swim to the ocean floor
Crash to the other shore or swim to the ocean floor
