" You see your world on fire
Don’t try to act surprised
We did just what you told us
Lost our faith along the way
And found ourselves believing your lies
I got my propaganda
I got revisionism
I got my violence
In hi-def ultra-realism
All a part of this great nation
I got my fist
I got my plan
I got survivalism
I got survivalism"
Let’s do two this time.
" I’m just a copy of a copy of a copy
Everything I say has come before
Assembled into something, into something, into something
I don’t know for certain anymore
I’m just a shadow of a shadow of a shadow
Always trying to catch up with myself
I’m just an echo of an echo of an echo
Listening to someone’s cry for help
Look what you have just done
Why all the change of heart
You need to play your part"
Coming back to this I suppose a safe for forums one would be:
All you ever get from the sonnet is the count of the fallen man
Every calling cost made to your heart
You were in the kind of game that put the force in me
I was ever chasing fireflies
I could go on all day with this one. However I will go with this wonderful song that just says it all. (I listen to everything and enjoy just about everything out there)
Doobie Brothers - Listen to the Music.

I’m prepared to be vacationed for this…
" Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they’re held for pleasure
They’re the balls that I like best
My balls are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It’s my belief that my big balls
Should be held every night"

Not my fav part of that song, but I love that song regardless.
" You had all of them on your side
Didn’t you, didn’t you?
You believed in all your lies
Didn’t you, didn’t you?
The Ruiner’s got a lot to prove
He’s got nothing to lose and now he made you believe
The Ruiner is your only friend
And he’s the living end to the cattle he deceives"

Been around the world and found
That only stupid people are breeding
The cretins cloning and feeding

“Poets, priests and politicians, have words to thank for their positions. Words that scream for your submission, no one is jamming their transmission. 'Cause when their eloquence escapes you, their logic ties you up and (does a very bad thing to) you.”
“Then a big Turkish shell knocked me rump over head, and when I awoke in my hospital bed, and saw what it had done, Christ, I wished I was dead. Never knew there were worse things than dying”.

Call to the gods if I cross your path
and my silhouette hangs like a body bag;
hope is a moment now long past,
the shadow of death is the one I cast.

Well, I really don’t mind the rain
And the smile can hide all the pain
But you’re down when you’re ridin’ the train that’s takin’ the long way
And I dream of the things I’ll do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
There’ll be a load of compromisin’
On the road to my horizon
And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones to start
To mould a new reality
Closer to the Heart
The Blacksmith and the Artist
Reflect it in their art
Forge their creativity
Closer to the Heart
Philosophers and Ploughmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the Heart
You can be the Captain
I will draw the Chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the Heart
RIP Neil Peart. You are missed.

Some favorites:
“I can’t complain, but sometimes I still do.”
"Said James, “In my opinion, there’s nothing in this world
Beats a '52 Vincent and a Redheaded girl.”
“The slate I got clean won’t stay clean long
And the love I got over won’t stay gone
But the pain of the slip through fingers lingers on”
“One’s a liar
That helps to hide me from my pain
And one’s the long gone bitter truth
That’s the difference between whiskey and you”

The burden of tomorrow
All the shame regret and sorrow
Lost in liquid nights
And whirling disco lights
I can’t recall a thing
So why do I feel so sad?
“Hear no evil
don’t you See no evil
don’t you Lay no evil down on me
You’re gonna burn in hell
Speak no evil
don’t you Think no evil
don’t you Play with evil
'cause I’m free”
very fitting for a paladin

This song and the lyrics are very cathartic for me. Warning the lyrics might be intense for some people. Focus on the children in the video and how they are “painting” a new future.
“So the kids, they dance, they shake their bones
And the politicians throwing stones
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down”
Lyrics
Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
Dizzy with eternity
Paint it with a skin of sky, brush in some clouds and sea
Call it home for you and me
A peaceful place, or so it looks from space
A closer look reveals the human race
Full of hope, full of grace, is the human face
But afraid we may lay our home to waste
There’s a fear down here we can’t forget
Hasn’t got a name just yet
Always awake, always around
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
Now watch as the ball revolves and the night-time falls
And again the hunt begins and again the blood wind calls
By and by, again, the morning sun will rise
But the darkness never goes from some men’s eyes
(Well I know)
It strolls the sidewalk and it rolls the streets
Staking turf, dividing up meat
Nightmare spook, piece of heat
It’s you and me, you and me
Click flash blade in ghetto night
Rudy’s looking for a fight
Rat cat alley, roll them bones
Need that cash to feed that Jones
And the politicians throwing stones
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
Commissars and pinstripe bosses roll the dice
Anyway they fall, guess who gets to pay the price?
Money green, or proletarian gray
Selling guns instead of food today
So the kids they dance and shake their bones
And the politicians throwing stones
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
Heartless powers try to tell us what to think
If the spirit’s sleeping then the flesh is ink
History’s page will be neatly carved in stone
The future’s here, we are it, we are on our own
On our own, on our own, we are on our own
If the game is lost, then we’re all the same
No one left to place or take the blame
We will leave this place an empty stone
Or that shining ball of blue we call our home
So the kids, they dance, they shake their bones
And the politicians throwing stones
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
Shipping powders back and forth
Singing black goes south and white comes north
And the whole world full of petty wars
Singing I got mine and you got yours
While the current fashions set the pace
Lose your step, fall out of grace
The radical, he rant and rage
Singing someone got to turn the page
And the rich man in his summer home
Singing just leave well enough alone
But his pants are down, his cover’s blown
And the politicians throwing stones
So the kids, they dance, they shake their bones
'Cause it’s all too clear we’re on our own
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
It’s dizzying, the possibilities
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
[Ashes, ashes, all fall down]
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
[Ashes, ashes, all fall down]
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
[Ashes, ashes, all fall down]
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
[Ashes, ashes, all fall down]
