Song of the Indeterminate Time Period, 20 September 2K5

(You just knew David Draiman would bring back the coughing-up-a-hairball scream again. I'm immediately calling this for a final battle song in a fic on down the line.)

Survivor... survivor...
One more goddamned day
When I know what I want
And my want will be considered tonight (ahh! ahh!)
Consider tonight (ahh! ahh!)
Just another day
When all that I want
Will mark me as a sinner tonight (ahh! ahh!)
I'm a sinner tonight, yeah

People can no longer cover their eyes
If this disturbs you, then walk away
You will remember the night when you were struck by the sight of
Ten thousand fists in the air...

Power unrestrained
Dead on the mark
Is what we will deliver tonight (ahh! ahh!)
Deliver tonight (ahh! ahh!)
Pleasure fused with pain
This triumph of the soul
Will make you shiver tonight (ahh! ahh!)
We'll make you shiver tonight, yeah

People can no longer cover their eyes
If this disturbs you, then walk away
You will remember the night when you were struck by the sight of
Ten thousand fists in the air...

We are the ones that will open your mind
Leave the weak and the haunted behind
We are the ones that will open your mind
Leave the weak and the haunted behind
We are the ones that will open your mind
Leave the weak and the haunted behind
We are the ones that will open your mind
Leave the weak and the haunted behind

People can no longer cover their eyes
If this disturbs you, then walk away
You will remember the night when you were struck by the sight of
Ten thousand fists in the air...

Ten thousand fists in the air...

Ten thousand fists in the air

Next month exactly, my sister will be running in her very first marathon. She's also doing this for a good cause: St. Jude's Children's Hospital. Check it out.

Song of the Indeterminate Time Period, 9 September 2K5

Sister, I'm not much a poet, but a criminal
And you never had a chance
Love it, or leave it, you can't understand
A pretty face, but you do so carry on,
And on, and on...

I wouldn't front the scene if you paid me
I'm just the way that the doctor made me
On, and on, and on, and on
Love is the red of the rose on your coffin door
What's life like, bleeding on the floor
The floor, the floor

You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
Give me a reason to believe

So give me all your poison
And give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're running after something
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will

Preach all you want, but who's gonna save me?
I keep a gun on the book you gave me
Hallelujah, lock and load
Black is the kiss, the touch of the serpent son
It ain't the mark or the scar that makes you one,
And one, and one, and one

You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
Give me a reason to believe

So give me all your poison
And give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're running after something
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will

You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
You wanna follow something
Give me a better cause to lead
Just give me what I need
Give me a reason to believe

So give me all your poison
And give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're running after something
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will
