Dark Tranquillity - Lethe


Give me to drink of the fluid that disintegrates 
And lend me the sweet balm and blessing
Of forgetfulness, empty and strong 
Lethe
Oh, lethe!

Hold me near, unravel the stars
As I speed through the heavens, 
I speed through the night
For you are my blade and my rope
You are my Lethe
(You are my all)

In currents of cobalt you storm through my heart
To sever, to puncture the memories that burn
Let sweep through the arteries in sharp stabs of pain
Your talon-like fingers to kill me again

Steal me, invade me, and charge me again
(And again, and again, and again)
For I burn and I shudder
Burn with each movement of 

So, cleansed through a floodlight
I appear, renewed and reforged
Caressed by the sweet balm and blessing
Of forgetfulness, empty and strong

Lethe,
Hold me near, my one friend and guide 
As I drown through your fingers, 
Drown through your love
For you are the life that I hate
You are my, you are my...

Drag me down in passionate sighs
With the ocean above me and flames in my eyes
And grant my a life I can live 
Without...

Take me away...
Take me away...
From the life that I hate

WoW patch 4.0

Today patch 4.0 hit the world of warcraft EU servers nad i decided to renew my subscription.

As a hunter player i HAD to try the new hunter's resource system (Focus instead of mana) before the realease of the expansion itself.
I played for about 1 hour and it seems promising, unlike mana focus is an "unlimited" resource hat regenerates very fast but also is consumed with the same speed.

Some powerful shots consume focus while others weak ones regenerate it, you can actually get from 100 to 0 (and vice versa) in a matter of seconds.

At first glance it looks like the shot rotation will be harder and more unforgiving than before.

As for now Marksmanship seems the actual highest dps build.

I'll keep you informed as i discover more things ;)

Psyopus - Medusa

Large amount of chaos and insanity are in this song. Listen at your own risk.


Flinching as her wavy hair hisses
Slithers around and around
Entangles her face
Nothing is to be seen
Coils of our beauty queen's reptile crown

I can't bare to see your face without thinking "Kill Her"
I just want my fucking space
I can count the six feet under ground
I just wish you were erased

Who'd think a mirror to your face could kill

Stone

Your monster face chews beauty no more

and hoe I'd kill to gaze upon kind recollection
Where you and I could bow
Perhaps to get along less the ugly in stone

With all the smiles and all that's kind
Put right in your face
None could silence the sound
Of your hissing moral chorus

Kill her
Fucking kill her
Stick the fucking mirror to her fucking face

Kill her
Fucking kill her
Stick the fucking mirror to her fucking face

Queen of the Ugly

Baad, bad times.

You know, this summer i stayed at home because i had no money to spend on a holyday and now i am still in the same situation.

October seems to be a month with a lot of interesting things i'd like to attend but i feel like i will go nowhere.

A copule of days ago (10th October) Dark Tranquillity (one of my favourite bands) had a concert in Bologna but i just couldn't be there.
On 13th October Blind Guardian will have a concert in Milan and it is sold out (it doesn't matter anyway, ticket + train to get there + hotel for one night is too expensive now...)
22nd October: Pain of Salvation in concert @ Milan, same as above.
30th October: The Agonist + Maroon @ Bologna, this may be possible if i find someone who has a car willing to come too, this way i wouldn't need to look for a place to sleep but i don't think i'll find anyone.
From 29th October to 1st November: Lucca Comics & Games, for four days the whole city is devoted to...well, Comics and games indeed, with an army of cosplayers invading the streets. a very beautiful thinks but i'll need to persuade someone to take me there.

Probably i'll not attend any of these events and it absolutely bugs me.



Overkill - The Years of Decay


Out
On this road
Takes its toll
And you pay for everything you do
Under lights
Made me blind
This place is the same as last night
Out
Of control
Takes its toll
But you learn to live with your dreams
And speaking your mind to those you find
Listening to what you have to say
I wouldn't change the way
I wouldn't stop the decay

Promised
The world
As our world
Changed before our eyes
And the days became the weeks
And the weeks the years
And no one remembers that very first day
How it slipped away
Forever
I wait
Putting in
Putting out as the motors whine
To remind me I'm home
And I'm here to stay
As we decay
Another day
Decay away

I'm goin' home
I don't know where
I'm goin' home
Not far from here
Out on this road
Payin' this toll
Make me whole
Set the stage
Fill it with anger
Fill it with rage
No I don't know what is today
I know it falls in the years of decay

Self
Sacrifice
Every night
And together we pay the price in blood
That's spilled out
Through the years
And another day passes away
Look to the black
Drawn farther back
Look to each day
See the decay
Times I've had
Good and bad
Win or lose
This is what I choose

The Years of Decay

Death - Symbolic

Best band in the world.


I don't mean to dwell
But I can't help myself
When I feel the vibe
And taste a memory
Of a time in life
When years seemed to stand still

I close my eyes
And sink within myself
Relive the gift of precious memories
In need of a fix called innocence

When did it begin?
The change to come was undetectable
The open wounds expose the importance of
Our innocence
A high that can never be bought or sold

Symbolic acts - So vivid
Yet at the same time
We're invisible

Savor what you feel and what you see
Things that may not seem important now
But may be tomorrow

Do you remember when
Things seemed so eternal?
Heroes were so real...
Their magic frozen in time
The only way to learn
Is be aware and hold on tight

I close my eyes
And sink within myself
Relive the gift of precious memories
In need of a fix called innocence

When did it begin?
The change to come was undetectable
The open wounds expose the importance of
Our innocence
A high that can never be bought or sold

Slayer - Angel of Death

Fucking Slayer!

Gamma Ray - Rebellion in Dreamland

I want to thank everyone who gave me suggestions on the other post, i'll watch  them and tell you if i liked 'em =)

Now it's Gamma Ray time!


Voices are calling from somewhere bellow
melting on the eastern shore
Rain is falling down on me,
been waiting for eternity...
I'll be there!
Freedom for us all!

And I wonder why, why my heart still yearns
and I wonder why, why the earth still turns
and I wonder why, why the sky turns black
Still I wonder why, but there is no turning back

For all eternity, for all the world to see
we're riding high across the wind
and when the storm begins, to wash away all sins
we'll find a place where we'll begin

There's something wrong with the world today,
only the people that are fighting for...
...a better place in the world today,
they don't believe that they gone too far,
...they're falling down.

By moonlight there's a way... for rebellion
here, the world has gone astray... revolution
Now, the time has come to pray... hallelujah
deep, inside our minds we wait... for rebellion
Here in dreamland we will not obey the masters

... and the earth still turns but I'm on my way,
he is on the way, as my heart still yearns
... I'm on my way, now he is on the way,
and I cry for more
Yes I'm on my way, now he is on the way,
gonna find the secret wall

I have seen the secret dreams
of those who know eternity
and makes me feel like a shadow sneaking in
In my sleep I'm searching for a way to find
the open door leading me to where it all begins

There's nothing wrong with the world today...

By moonlight there's a way... for rebellion
here, the world has gone astray... revolution
Now, the time has come to pray... hallelujah
deep, inside our minds we wait... for rebellion
Here in dreamland we will not obey the masters

Now I'm riding through the air
going to where no one dares
on the way I'll cross the line forevermore.
For once in life, I do not care
nothing matters, now I dare
On the ride I'll cross the line
forever to be free

Have no fear, Rebellion is here!

Disturbed - Meaning of Life


Lyrics in the video.

Apocalyptica - I'm not Jesus



Dirty little secret,
Dirty little lies.
Say your prayers and comb your hair,
Save your soul tonight.

Drift among the faithful,
Bury your desires.
Aberrations fill your head,
You need a place to hide
And I am...

Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Do you remember me?

When your worlds come crashing down
I want to relive.
(Your god ain't looking down on me!)

Im not Jesus,
Jesus wasnt there!

You confess it all away,
But its only shit to me
(Your god ain't looking down on me!)

Im not Jesus,
I will not forgive!

No I wont!
No I wont.

I thought you were a good man,
I thought you talked to god.
You hippocratic, messianic, and child abusing-turned-satanic.

Do you remember me?
Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Do you remember?

Do you remember?

When your own world comes undone,
Let me be the one to say:
(Your god ain't looking down on me!)

"Im not Jesus,
You cant run away!"

And the innocence you spoiled
Found a way to live.
(Your god ain't looking down on me!)

Im not Jesus
I will not forgive!

I wont forgive.
I wont do whatever you want to.
I wont forgive.
I wont do whatever you want to.

Do you remember me ?
And the kid I used to be ?
Not the same as I used to be!
Oh, do you remember me ?

Nooooooo!

When your worlds come crashing down,
I want to relive
(Your god ain't looking down on me!)

Im not Jesus,
Jesus wasnt fair!

You confess it all away,
But its only shit to me!
(Your god ain't looking down on me!)

I'm not Jesus,
I will not,
Im not Jesus,
I will not forgive!

Oh, I will not forgive, yeahyeah!
No, I will not forgive!

Dream Theater - Learning to Live


There was no time for pain
No energy for anger
Sightlessness of hatred slips away
Walking through winter streets alone
He stops and takes a breath
With confidence and self-control

I look at the world and see no understanding
I'm waiting to find some sense of strength
I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart
To show me understanding

I need to live life
Like some people never will
So find me kindness, find me beauty, find me truth
When temptation brings me to my knees
And I lay here drained of strength
Show me kindness, show me beauty, show me truth

The way your heart sounds
Makes all the difference
It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel
The way your heart beats
Makes all the difference
In learning to live
Here before me is my soul
I'm learning to live
I won't give up till I've no more to give
No more to give

Listening to the city
Whispering its violence
I set out watching from above
The 90's bring new questions
New solutions to be found
I fell in love to be let down

Once again we dance in the crowd
At times a step away
From a common fear that's all spread out
It won't listen to what you say
Once you're touched you stand alone
To face the bitter fight
Once I reached for love
And now I reach for life

Another chance to lift my life
Free the sensation in my heart
To ride the wings of dreams
Into changing horizons
It brings inner peace within my mind
As I'm lifted from where I've split my life
I hear an innocent voice
I hear kindness, beauty and truth

The way your heart sounds
Makes all the difference
It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel
The way your heart beats
Makes all the difference
In learning to live
Spread before you is your soul
So forever hold the dreams within our hearts
Through nature's inflexible grace
I'm learning to live

Porcupine Tree - Time Flies


I was born in '67
The year of "Sgt. Pepper"
And "Are You Experienced"

It was a suburb of heaven 
Yeah and it would have been forever 
It all seemed to make so much sense 

But after a while you realize time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cause time flies

She said luck is all you make it
You just reach out and take it
Now let's dance for a while

She said nothing ever happens
If you don't make it happen
And if you can't laugh then smile

But after a while you realise time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cause time flies

And laughing under
Summer showers
Is still the way I see you now

How does time break down?
With no marker, things slow down
A conference of the strange
And your family is deranged

I could tell you what I'm thinking
While we sit here drinkin'
But I'm not sure where to start
You see there's something wrong here
I'm sorry if I'm not clear
Can you stop smoking your cigar?

But after a while you realise time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cause time flies

And the coat you wore to Alton Towers
Is still the way I see you now

Alterbridge - Ties That Bind





I tear on the leash
That keeps me contained and controlled
Let me go, I want to break free
And fight my way out of this hole

One last hope
To rise and break away
Above the fading line
Way beyond the ties that bind
This I know
The risk is worth the gain
It's worth the sacrifice
Way beyond the ties that bind

I run but the chains
Pull me right back to the floor
You control, rattle the cage
I won't be your slave anymore

One last hope
To rise and break away
Above the fading line
Way beyond the ties that bind
This I know
The risk is worth the gain
It's worth the sacrifice
Way beyond the ties that bind

 You broke me into pieces
Don't tell me what to be
Damn you all, I'm gonna find my way

One last hope
To rise and break away
Above the fading line
Way beyond the ties that bind
This I know
The risk is worth the gain
It's worth the sacrifice
Way beyond the ties that bind

Blind Guardian - Imaginations From The Other Side

One of the most beautiful songs ever, this is THE masterpiece of Blind Guardian.


Awesome lyrics:

Where are these silent faces?

I took them all
They all went away
Now you're alone
To turn out every light so deep in me
Hold on, to late


Will I ever see them back again
Or did they all die by my hand?
Or were they killed
By the old evil ghost
Who had taken
The ocean
Of all my dreams
Which were worth to keep
Deep inside my heart
I wish I
Could get them back
From the everflow
Before they'll fade away


Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind
Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind
Out of the dark
Back to the light
Then I'll break down
The walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side


Where's the ocean's daughter?
Was Peter Pan in Mordor?
No one's there to keep alive
All these fairy tales
May I return to Oz?
Will I meet the "Tin Man"?
"Coward Lion" where are you?
Without brain the scarecrow's lost
In the middle of the lake
Stranded in the real world
Left in a world
No place for daydreams
Serious life
I fall into
I fall into a dark hole
And I can't come out


Do you know
If Merlin did exist
Or Frodo wore the ring?
Did Corum kil the gods?
Or where's the wonderland
Which young Alice had seen
Or was it just a dream?
I knew the answers
How they're lost for me


Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind
Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind
Out of the dark
Back to the light
Then I'll break down
The walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side


I hope there is a way back
With my talisman
So I look into myself
To the days when I was just a child
Come follow me to wonderland
And see the tale that never ends
Don't fear the lion nor the witch
I can't come back
I'm lost but still I know
There is another world


Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind
Imaginations from the other side
Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind
Out of the dark
Back to the light
Then I'll break down
The walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm in stores 7th of December

IRVINE, Calif., Oct 04, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. today announced that World of Warcraft(R): Cataclysm(TM), the highly anticipated third expansion for the world's most popular subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game*, will be released starting on December 7, 2010. The expansion will be available on DVD-ROM for Windows(R) XP/Windows Vista(R)/Windows(R) 7 and Macintosh(R) at a suggested retail price of $39.99 and will also be offered as a digital download from the Blizzard Store. A special Collector's Edition packed with bonus items will be available exclusively in retail stores for a suggested retail price of $79.99.

"Cataclysm includes the best content we've ever created for World of Warcraft. It's not just an expansion, but a re-creation of much of the original Azeroth, complete with epic new high-level adventures for current players and a redesigned leveling experience for those just starting out," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "With the help of our beta testers, we're putting on the final polish, and we look forward to welcoming gamers around the world to enjoy it in just a couple of months."

The first two World of Warcraft expansions, The Burning Crusade(R) and Wrath of the Lich King(R), each shattered PC game sales records upon their release.* In Cataclysm, the face of Azeroth will be forever altered by the return of the corrupted Dragon Aspect Deathwing. Players will explore once-familiar areas of the world that have now been reshaped by the devastation and filled with new adventures. In an effort to survive the planet-shattering cataclysm, two new playable races — worgen and goblins — will join the struggle between the Alliance and the Horde. As players journey to the new level cap of 85, they'll discover newly revealed locations, acquire new levels of power, and come face to face with Deathwing in a battle to determine the fate of the world.



I think it's time to start saving some money :>

Demians - Sapphire


Feeding the machine
From this inner cage I made my body
My son is staring at a sun that's still to come
But go figure it all, was it worth searching far beyond?

Scratching the surface
From this inner grave I built my country
My love, i finally found the one I belong to
But go figure it all, was it worth waiting for so long?

To become the stone...?

Follow me here, I'm on my way back (home)
Crimson, we've become the stone and time may come
See the man I've become
And follow the child inside until he's grown up
Before he goes away

Memories and expectations
All is moving in so similar ways
Small rooms or huge surroundings
There's no use when you are the missing

I think I'm getting used to -- the fear of getting used to you
I think we're getting used to -- the fear of living for two

Follow me here I'm on my way back home or then bury me here or take my hand back stronger...
Follow me here I'm on my way back home, you can bury me here or take my hand back stronger...

Silver Bride

Here another awesome song for you people!


From the mystic dreams of nighttime
I saw the clarity of my days
From the shades of longing
Looked for the familiar glow
The death of my wife's slayer
Brought no comfort to me
No shape for loneliness
For a dream

A queen of gold I made
A silver bride I built
From the northern summer nights
From the winter moon
Responded not my girl
No beating heart I felt
I brought no sighs to the silver lips
No warmth from the gold

Within my heart a flame of desires
Provoked the power of my will
Forced into silvery shape
A golden queen for me
I made our bed under the stars
Covers a-plenty, bear skin hides
Stroked the arc of golden curves
Kissed the lips of silver

(Queen of gold) I made her
(Silver Bride) I built her
(Queen of gold) no warmth
(Silver Bride) no love
(Queen of gold) I made her
(Silver Bride) I built her
(Queen of gold) no warmth
(Silver Bride) no life

Evil in a Closet

Delivering another song, this is one of my all time favourites.


Lyrics in the video.
