Dream Theater - The Spirit Carries On LYRICS

 Dream Theater - The Spirit Carries On LYRICS

 

Where did we come from,
Why all we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?

They say, "Life is too short,"
"The here and the now"
And "You're only given one shot"
But could there be more,
Have I lived before,
Or could this be all that we've got?

If I die tomorrow
I'd be all right
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on

I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
I'm not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend

I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove
What I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try

If I die tomorrow
I'd be all right
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on

Victoria:
"Move on, be brave
Don't weep at my grave
Because I am no longer here
But please never let
Your memory of me disappear"

Nicholas:
Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has helped me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victoria's real
I finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that I'm here
It's perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means

If I die tomorrow
I'd be all right
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on

Sad But True! Nirvana and Kurt Cobain also refused called Grunge musicians. Cobain himself Punkers prefer to be known, because they are more able to think and explore masihng individual soul, not just because of bad songs and then they dance in a variety of terms (pogo, moshing, ect ..) but do not know what they want delivered of the song . Cobain hated act Grunge kids are so apathetic and selfish (remember lyric In Bloom? Lets check the Lyric!).

You've seen the t-shirt "Grunge is Dead"?. Cobain formed Nirvana was actually like Punk band (do you remember?). It is proved that the opinion explaining that Christ Novoselic Cobain Nirvana actually wanted to be a band like the Sex Pistols Punk nuanced but because he lacked the resources to be Nirvana a punk band that weird!

And from all that, there is one band that since splashy Grunge era of the 90s until today, still faithful voiced and Seattle grunge sound in the middle of the mainstream music market with pop punk, punk power and so on.

Within Temptation Memories lyrics

 MEMORIES LYRICS - WITHIN TEMPTATION

In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind
There's no other way
I prayed to the Gods let him stay

The memories ease the pain inside
Now I know why

All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments imagine you'd be here
All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears

Made me promise I'd try
To find my way back in this life
I hope there is a way
To give me a sign you're okay

Reminds me again it's worth it all
So I can go home

All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments imagine you'd be here
All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears

Together in all these memories
I see your smile
All these memories I hold dear
Darling you know I'll love you till the end of time

All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments imagine you'd be here
All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears

All of my memories

Black Sabbath - Paranoid 

Lyric

Finished with my woman

'Cause she couldn't help me with my mind

People think I'm insane

Because I am frowning all the time

All day long I think of things

But nothing seems to satisfy

Think I'll lose my mind

If I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me occupy my brain?

Oh yeah!

I need someone to show me

The things in life that I can't find

I can't see the things that make true happiness

I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh

And you will laugh and I will cry

Happiness I cannot feel

And love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words

Telling you now of my state

I tell you to enjoy life

I wish I could but it's too late

The theme of this album is about war, mental illness, substance abuse - drugs trafficking, as well as sci-fi horror. Lyrics track album opener "paranoid" about the Vietnam War and the Cold War, thus making this song as a protest song that describes the situation at that time.
