Can you feel the pain inside sometimes in my mind?
In the land of loneliness the seas of blood run cold
Is the feeling lost inside within the sins of all mankind?
Time after time we stood united on we go
Fly far away don't let the world pass you by?
Live for the day when we must stand and survive
Now we face the judgment day our souls will feel the pain
Hear the screams of my world through the rain
Silent fields of despair my tears in the rain
Pain in my heart bleeding through
One day we'll be back for one moment in time
Endlessly searching for you...
Who can cure my emptiness inside for this time?
Suffering from loneliness my dreams and hopes will die
No more feelings left inside my blackened heart I cannot hide
Time after time our souls divided on we cry
Fly far away don't leave your own past behind
Live for the day another year passes by
Now we turn to face our fear there's nothing more to say
Still your dreams and my nightmares remain
The Prophecy
As darkness claims all light
Leaving the land in Eternal Night
Amidst the dead and innocent cries
Only then The Chosen One shall rise
Enter thy world but fear not
I walked through the darkness and shadows, I've fought
So open your hearts and open your minds
For inside, only knowledge will you find...

Memories
In this world I tried
Not leaving you alone behind
There's no other way
I pray to God, let her stay
The memories ease the pain inside
And now I know why
All of my memories keep you near
Inside of my mind wish you were here
All of my memories keep you near
In silent whispers, in silent tears
Made me promise I'd try
To find my way back in this life
I hope there's a way
To give me a sign you're ok
reminds me again its worth it all
So I can go home..
All of my memories keep you near
Inside of my mind wish you were here
All of my memories keep you near
In silent whispers, in silent tears
Together in all these memories
I see your smile
All of the memories I hold dear
Darling, you'd know I'll love you till the end of time
All of my memories...

Finally, tomorrow's going to be Ramadhan, the long-awaited month. For kids, this month is long-awaited since it signifies the coming of Hari Raya. But for me, its long-awaited for this month is Allah's greatest gift to Prophet Muhammad's followers. The time for repent and goodwill is here, my friends. Let us wash away our past sins and ask for forgiveness so as to turn over a new leaf.
So, these few days have been somewhat weird to me. Found myself listening to Simple Plan and all those pop-punk bands though I made a vow not to listen to them anymore. Its been two years since I last listened to a Simple Plan song. So, been thinking back about my erm.."musical history". Like from what genre I started all that. So here it is. This is theoretically accurate, I guess. =)
Primary school days (1996-1999) - Boybands (We all have to start somewhere right?)
Upper Primary to Secondary 1 (2000-2002) - Rap Metal (Linkin Park.DUH.The shit at that time)
Secondary 2 (2003) - Ska/ska-punk (Madness, Less Than Jake. Thanks to Abang Nizam)
First few months of Secondary 3 (2004) - Mainstream punkrock (Simple Plan, Good Charlotte,etc. Punkrocker in the making.heheh)
Towards the end of Secondary 3 (2004) - Hardcore punkrock/metalcore (NOFX, Anti-Flag, Rise Against,Avenged Sevenfold... Hardcore punkrocker.heheh)
Birth of Gate To Freedom/ Secondary 4 (2005) - Heavy metalcore/a bit of Black metal (Atreyu, Trivium, Cradle Of Filth, Behind Crimson Eyes...venturing to the hardcore world)
After O' Levels (2005-2006) - Opera/Symphonic Metal(Nightwish, Within Temptation, Evanescence...all with female lead vocals. Me likey~)
Start of polytechnic (early 2006) - Emo/Emocore (Story of The Year, MCR, Fenix *TX...you damn well know why I became emoshittified. So don't ask)
NOW (present) - Classic Rock/Speed Metal/Metalcore (Atreyu, GNR,Scorpions, Bon Jovi, Dragonforce, etc...I'm getting sentimental lately..)
So, that's my musical journey. Some of the bands I actually heard off quite some time ago though I only focused on them on the timeline given.
So, as you can see, I'm not a fan of the mainstream. Never liked listening to RnB or all those stuffs you hear in the radio nowadays. Even the rock stuffs that come out in the radio are nothing short of mediocre. Almost all have the same rhythm. No solos. Wtf~
One reason why I like the underground scene better is because of the lyrical content.
Listen to RnB and you'll always find them singing about love and love and sex. Like, what the fuck man...issnt there anything else to sing about??
But try listening to metal, or hardcore punk. Their lyrics not only address love and such, they also address the political side of life. They address what is happening around the world. Listen to sum 41 or Rise Against or Anti-Flag. Look at their lyrics. You'll find out that their lyrics have much more content.
True, you might say that usually in Metal or punk rock cases, you cant hear the singing or there's too much shouting. But to me, liking a song for its beat while its lyric makes no sense whatsoever is like liking a girl for her beauty, while her inside's nothing.
I'd rather listen to a song with very much meaningful lyrics but doesnt sound really nice than a song with nice beats but have crappy lyrics
yes, I am THAT particular when it comes to lyrics...
So, anyway, dunno if I said this before but... I think my heart just won the war. Cos my mind's not bothering to counter what my heart feels. In this case, it looks like I'm in for more pain...lucky I'm numbed to it. =)
SELAMAT MENYAMBUT BULAN RAMADHAN YANG MULIA INI.
PUASA TAU...JANGAN TAK PUASA.
