As blood stains soil underneath the rejects of the light
Everything that stands shall burn in fear of the dark lord
In this rage of storm I hear the pouring drops of blood
Entrance to these shadows of the devil
Towers of light fall into this endless abyss
As monoliths of black arise
This fear now bleeds the storm, like flames engulfed in darkness
Passing days of despair restless in these hours of suffering
These sharps claws of death yearn for this warm crimson touch
Swarms rage as demon hordes rip forth from my chest
Warm red streams explode beneath my hands
Moments closer to death to be swallowed into black
Embrace this deception for birthright in self-pain
Reborn as a shadow in the black inside the fires of hell
The bloodlettings of suicide flood onto the cold dark inside the mind
Drowning in the soft flames of hell within this the scent of decay
A voice of fire from within the sleep of shadow
This place of weeping for the children of the light
I am absorbed in the drowning of fire inside the catacombs of hell
Enslaved by the scythe of Azrael with hallowed souls
The thirteen now await the black serpents, bringer of death
These children of the light lie silent in the dark
This sea of blood for joining in spirit descent
Shroud of ruin within this scourge of bloodshed
Rage in tainted blood that blinds all of the light
Entrance to this embrace inside deception
Elegies of lament for the thirteen children of the dark
Lying still, Satan opens the dark
I embrace deceit, whispers unto the dark
Voices fall silent as ghosts of their screams
Throbbing pulse of this becoming as the blade cuts through flesh
Echoing this haunting curse of cloven whispers
I am the depths of hell
I call out from the blood
Up from the darkness
I call out from hell
I am dead in this world
A flood of death in blood
Commanding this death that light has bled
Abyss is open within me
I purge this sea of blood
Symbolized in agony through this praise of the blade
Awakening the Impure as we drink their blood in the name of the dark
Where I am drowned by the blood of hell

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."

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.
