Speak to me in succinct song lyrics

Seek her
Seduce her
Tame her
Blame her
Have her
Kill her
Seek her
Seduce her
Tame her
Blame her
Feast on it all

Each day - move closer to
Where the noise uplifts my soul, where the “wilful” man shall go
Start here - let’s make our way
And the mess the fools have made won’t stop us in our way
The feast of blaze, la-la
The feast of blaze, la-la

I am the god of hell fire and I bring you:

Fire
I’ll take you to burn.
Fire

Babylon’s burning
You’re burning the street
You’re burning your houses
With anxiety

How I (know) - how I know, how I (know) - how I know -
And that’s how I know:
A Reggae Music, chant down - chant down - chant down Babylon,
Chant down Babylon, chant down Babylon,
Chant down Babylon!

Look away from the sea, I can take you anywhere
Spend a vision with me, a chase with the wind
Move closer to me, I can make you anyone
I think you’re ready to see
The Gates of Babylon

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night

So when did you throw out the rest of the world
Deaf from the din of your self-righteous babble?
I think you’ve been blinded by your own light

So high in my lovely Ivory Tower of Babel
(babble, babble, babble, Babble, babble, babble, babble)
high above the Rabble
(rabble, rabble, rabble, Babble, Rabble, babble, babble, rabble, babble)
Greatest mind of history
Solving life’s sweet mystery
So listen to me (so listen to me)
Know how life should be (know how life should be)
Oh, what does it matter if they don’t agree?

Just give me an hour and then -
Well, I’ll be as high
As that ivory tower
That you’re livin’ in .

Now that I’ve taken my life, remembering the April air
My hands in a cursory prayer my eyes and the crowd outside
The music is merry the laughter is comfortably loud outside
And the laughter I’m hearing is mine

Now that I’ve taken my life
It was a foolish life I know ivory towered and quite out of touch
It was a life that had to go I guess I won’t miss it much

Betrayed by innocence, deceived by delusions
Plagiarized promises pale into empty hopes
Ivory towers bow down in reverence to daylight
As dreamers awaken in sleepers’ somber shade

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in a river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The mermaid grace, the forever call
Beauty in spygladd on an old man’s porch
The mermaids you turn loose brought back your tears

At the end of the river the sundown beams

I think the Boss here can be safely retired at this point. Along with the Prince song. :smiley:

[To be fair, I’ve used the above Nightwish song before, but not that stanza]

Big boss man, can’t you hear me when I call?
Big boss man, can’t you hear me when I call?
You ain’t so big, you just tall, that’s just about all

Big Sky looked down on all the people who think they got problems
They get depressed and they hold their head in their hands and cry.
People lift up their hands and they look up to the Big Sky
But Big Sky is too big to sympathize

O’ man river,
Dat ol’ man river,
He mus’know sumpin’
But don’t say nuthin’
He jes’ keeps rollin’
He keeps on rollin’ along

When the sun goes down the tide goes out
The people gather round and they all begin to shout
Hey hey Uncle Dud it’s a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud
It’s a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud

When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town
Down around San Antone
And the folks are risin’ for another day
'Round about their homes
The people of the town are strange
And they’re proud of where they came
