We’ve reach our destination yet we’ve failed you
Dragged through our consequences in our wake we fall

Rise to the satisfaction
Holt to the pain we bare
With our demise we
Rise in all our glory
Rise to avenge our past
Rise as hearts ret glare
Rise with every heart beat Rise

Why have we use are pain as an excuse to fight so boldly
Here I am use me in every moment I have left

We fall

For those of you who hide in the shadows of our forefathers “We are hard press on every side but not crushed; Perplexed but not in despair; Persecuted but not abandoned; Struck down but not destroyed”.

Push though this final hour truth lies within destiny
We bow in your presence bring for the fallen world
Stand for what’s been promised we’ve reach our destination
Through out life we wave and falter and now we wage war

Hold me in your arms how patiently we wait for our own death
We wait for you lord to come and fill the emptiness inside me

    Lyrics Correction: We've reached our destination yet we've failed you. Dragged through our consequences in our wake we fall.

    Rise to the satisfaction. Hold to the pain we bear. With our demise we: Rise in all our glory. Rise to avenge our past. Rise as hearts ret glare. Rise with every heart beat. Rise!

    Why have we used our pain as an excuse to fight so boldly. Here I am use me in every moment I have left. We fall.

    For those of you who hide in the shadows of our forefathers "We are hard pressed on every side but not crushed; Perplexed but not in despair; Persecuted but not abandoned; Struck down but not destroyed!"

    Push through this final hour, truth lies within destiny. We bow in your presence, bring forth the fallen world. Stand for what's been promised, we've reached our destination. Throughout life we waver and falter and now we wage war.

    Hold me in your arms, how patiently we wait for our own death. We wait for you oh Lord to come and fill the emptiness inside me.

    Why have we used our pain as an excuse to fight so boldly. Here I am use me in every moment I have left.

    This song is actually pretty deep for War of Ages, but I think it means that he has wasted his life running from his calling and is full of regret. In his pit of despair, he is crying out to God and offering himself in order to complete the work chosen for him. Love the clean vocals in this one. Gives me chills every time I listen to them.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
