You took a piece of my heart You took a piece of my heart And I don’t know why No I don’t know why It was clear in coming here I must have put the horse before the cart Before the cart You took the lead from the start You took the lead from the start And I don’t know why No I don’t know why It was clear in coming here I must have put the skin before the heart Before the heart You took the rest of the day You took the rest of the day And I don’t know why No I don’t know why Now that it’s all over Now there’s just some coldness in my way It’s in my way You took the clubs and the spades You took the clubs and the spades And I don’t know why No I don’t know why It’s a shame it’s not a game We’re playing in it’s just the blurred crusade The blurred crusade The blurred crusade The blurred crusade [**–The Church, “You Took”**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIHfbDrhc1E) ---

Adam Trask is on my back, is in my ears And the sound comes clear and brings the awful truth that I can’t stand what I’ve done to you And it’s written clear in my diary today should have been our anniversary But I’m far way and we’re far apart And you’re back home with a broken heart And love is real and I can’t escape I’ll only ever have myself to blame These failures shift and save me in the night Like a fever I can’t break try as I might Wake me darling I need you take me home But I know In the end redemption is mine and mine alone So if each of us is made of a tally of mistakes and successes Then the hour in the restaurant makes my score less than impressive But each can be redeemed with the courage by which he confesses So darling: I miss you, your music and your musk and your kisses I don’t think I can do this Frank Turner, Redemption (Gives me the shivers every.freaking.time) ---

I was forgotten A body scorned and broken My soul rejected Tainted by his blood Beyond redemption A sinner not worth saving Forever taken From the one I loved Do I still wait for my God And a symbol of my faith? I can lead you down the path and back to life All I ask is that you worship me I can help you seek revenge and save yourself Give you life for all eternity Servants of the fallen Fight to pave the way For their saviour’s calling Of this wicked day Through a veil of madness With a vicious blade One man rises up Standing in their way Redemption Redemption for humanity **– “In the Presence of Enemies, Pt. 1”; Dream Theater** (2007) ---

The moon up above, it shines on upon our skin Whispering words that scream of outrageous sin We all want the stuff that’s found in our wildest dreams It gets kinda rough in the back of our limousine That’s what we are, we all want a love bizarre That’s what we are, we all want a love bizarre ---

Hiding in daylight, biding it’s time The monster that wakes in your sleeping mind. Inside of you You leave it unseen But it’s coming to life In your wildest dreams. It’s the ground you stand on that’ s dissolving away And the urges you countered that take you out of your way Down to inside of you Where it all goes unseen But coming to life In your wildest dreams. No matter what colours, no matter how bright I’ll always want to take you down to my darker side Chase that feeling for better or worse It’s all beyond the life that’s just a matter of course. Inside of you, don’t leave them unseen Bring to life your wildest dreams. Come in to I my life. **–The Sound, "Wildest Dreams"** ---

How can you see into my eyes like open doors? Leading you down into my core where I’ve become so numb Without a soul my spirit’s sleeping somewhere cold Until you find it there and lead it back home (Wake me up) Wake me up inside (I can’t wake up) Wake me up inside (Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark (Wake me up) Bid my blood to run (I can’t wake up) Before I come undone (Save me) Save me from the nothing I’ve become Now that I know what I’m without You can’t just leave me Breathe into me and make me real Bring me to life (Wake me up) Wake me up inside (I can’t wake up) Wake me up inside (Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark (Wake me up) Bid my blood to run (I can’t wake up) Before I come undone (Save me) Save me from the nothing I’ve become Bring me to life (I’ve been living a lie, there’s nothing inside) Bring me to life Frozen inside without your touch Without your love, darling Only you are the life among the dead **– “Bring Me To Life”, Evanescence** (2003) ---

I thought I’d found a reason to live Just like before when I was a child Only to find dreams made of sand Would just fall apart and slip through my hands But the spirit of life keeps us strong And the spirit of life is the will to carry on Adversity what have I done to you To cause these ripples of silence That has come between me and you And the spirit of life remains in light And the spirit of life remains inside I never thought it would be quite like this Living outside of mutual bliss But as long as the veins in our arm still stand up The spirit of life will keep living on **–Dead Can Dance, "Spirit"** ---

Well, it’s a marvelous night for a Moondance With the stars up above in your eyes A fantabulous night to make romance 'Neath the cover of October skies And all the leaves on the trees are falling To the sound of the breezes that blow And I’m trying to please to the calling Of your heart-strings that play soft and low And all the night’s magic seems to whisper and hush And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush –Van Morrison _ **Moondance** _ ---
