In solemn tears of man
Jerusalem
In solemn tears of man
Jerusalem
In solemn tears of man
Jerusalem
In solemn tears of man
Jerusalem

And the faces of men gather blackness
As the mountains shall all be thrown down
And more violence, raptures of his kingdom
Shall be lost and they shall not found

In the black heart of the storm
Armageddon locks the dawn
In the valley of the bones
Armageddon mines the stones
The earth shall now disclose her blood
And shall uncover all her slain
The angels now cease to restrain
And shall unleash as vengeance reigns
The wrath of God shall now descend
To spill the blood of evil men
The true Messiah is at hand
To judge the living and the dead
Wait for his Son from Heaven
Children of Armageddon
The valley of decision
The valley of decision
Time will be no more
Time will be no more
Time will be no more
Time will be no more

Apocalypse
They have rejected His mercy
Apocalypse
They have despised His love
Behold Apocalypse
They have denied His glory
Behold the Fallen?
They have abandoned His Law

And the songs of the Temple
shall be howlings in that day
Bodies shall lie in every place
And they shall cast their thought? with silence.

Not enough living to bury the dead
Not enough living to bury the dead
Not enough living to bury the dead
Not enough living to bury the dead

The voice of prayer
The sound of weeping
And lamentation fills the air
The voice of prayer
The sound of weeping
And lamentation fills the air
Unto the Kingdom of Heaven they cry
They cry.

All hands will go then
Every man’s heart will melt
Terror will seize them
Anguish will grip them
And they will writhe like a woman in labour
And they will look at each other their faces aflame
In that day, the heathen rage
In that day, the heathen rage
Rage, rage, rage, rage

And the nations come against the Lord and His anointed saying
‘Let us break their plans asunder
Let us cast away their coats from us’.
Here is the rebellion, of man at his end
Now the end of the rebellion of man shall begin
Multitudes, multitudes await
In the valley of decision

Armageddon (x11)

(trumpets)

I am God, I am Lord and
before me there is no other
There is no other
There is no other

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
