Satan's wrath is the only choice
His stillborn army is impeccable

Modern day plague
Stronger than any and every virus, disease or sickness

For a glimpse of ideology
Anti-christian and eternally alive
Or dead
Buried underneath two thousand years
Of histories
Yet able to rise
Instinctively arise

Avoid the light
The sun's in sight
The undead should be sleeping
Avoid the light
And cross upright
My fledgling's dropping, weeping
Avoid the light
Avert your sight
Go underground discretely
Avoid the light
Avoid the light
Avoid the light
Avoid the light

True and purely horror
Man's ultimate enemy and predator wrapped into one

Spread black wings
Of damnated
Then folding into
Shape a mortal men
Not slaved
Plasmicumber
Will over-ride
The true emotion
That peering virgin
To guard my callussed grave

Avoid the light
The sun's in sight
The undead should be sleeping
Avoid the light
And cross upright
My fledgling's dropping, weeping
Avoid the light
Avert your sight
Go underground discretely
Alone, unseen
Reborn, received

It's a battle of wills
Ingloriously killed
We shall devour

Avoid the light
The sun's in sight
The undead should be sleeping
Avoid the light
And cross upright
My fledgling's dropping, weeping
Avoid the light
Avert your sight
Go underground discretely
Avoid the light
Avoid the light
Avoid the light
Avoid the light

Satan's wrath is the only choice
His stillborn army is impeccable

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
