Jacob's Ladder - Jethro Tull

 Jacob's Ladder

Jethro Tull


Lyrics:

[Genesis 25: 27 - 33]

 

Who cares about the family silver

That glints in dusty halls

Lined with badly painted landscapes

On badly painted walls?

Who cares for family favourites

Dangling from the family tree?

That Auntie Mabel loved you more

Loved you, loved you more than me

 

We're not old fools of competition

Jacob's tales or superstition

But siblings born in equal grace

Seated at set-table place

 

Same old chances, toss of dice:

Evil eyes look twice as nice

Blood runs thicker, blood runs cold;

Seize legacy before it's sold

 

Who cares if I am comfortable

In leafy rural lane

While you are tied to drudgery

Left staring at the rain

That washes out your young ambition

Hung out left to dry

And wither on the washing line

Washed out, washed-out butterfly

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Letra:

[Génesis 25: 27 - 33]

 

A quien le importa la plata familiar

Que brilla en pasillos polvorientos

Bordeado de paisajes mal pintados

¿En paredes mal pintadas?

¿A quién le importan los favoritos de la familia?

Que cuelgan del árbol genealógico?

Que la tía Mabel te quería más

Te amaba, te amaba más que a mí

 

No somos viejos tontos de la competencia

Cuentos de Jacob o superstición

Pero los hermanos nacidos en igual gracia

Sentado en el lugar de la mesa puesta

 

Las mismas posibilidades de siempre, tirada de dados:

Los ojos malvados se ven el doble de bonitos.

La sangre corre más espesa, la sangre se enfría;

Aprovecha el legado antes de que se venda

 

A quién le importa si estoy cómodo

En un camino rural frondoso

Mientras estás atado a la monotonía

A la izquierda mirando la lluvia

Eso lava tu joven ambición

Colgado a la izquierda para secar

Y se marchita en la línea de lavado

Mariposa descolorida, descolorida

Dark Matter - Pearl Jam

 Dark Matter Pearl Jam Lyrics: Steal the lights from our eyes Take my blood from my heart We're in all of this dark matter   Take the breaths from my chest Take the pulse and I'm... We're losing time, dark matter   Denounce the demagogues King diamond to discard Deploy the dialogue Your word against the law   It's strange these days When everybody else pays For someone else's mistake This blame takes shape Still everybody else pays For someone else's mistake   You're running away We're pulling apart In all of this dark matter   I once had a... Or is it the press No one knows what happens next   Renounce the demigods King diamond to discard Deploy the dialogue Your word against the law   It's strange these days When everybody else pays For someone else's mistake This blame takes shape Still everybody else pays For someone else's mistake   No tolerance for i

§1 - Opeth

 §1 Opeth Lyrics: Draped in death, the howl of lore Draped in death, the howl of lore   Alas, my time is at an end I have wallowed in self-pity And I confess to you As part of final plight   Draped in death, the howl of lore   This is the last will and testament of father Hear, the last will and testament of father   A syndicates mass in the waiting room Like spiders weave And rumors spread fast above regal tombs Enacted grief   I will here unearth the secrets I've been hiding (hiding, hiding) And guide my children through my trials   Put your trust in my command I thin the blood. I lift my hand   Draped in death, the howl of lore   This is the last will and testament of father Hear, the last will and testament of father   Letra: Cubierto de muerte, el aullido de la tradición   Cubierto de muerte, el aullido de la tradición     Ay, mi tiempo ha llegado a su fin   He estado sumido en la autocompasión   Y te

The Chant - Gojira

 The Chant Gojira Lyrics: You were told to swallow, crawl and hide Victims of fear and deception Get ahold of yourself, rise above The better part of you, immortal   May this purple spring flow into your soul Exhausting all these black holes inside Wake up to the sound of doom! Let this chant ring in your bones and lift you up   Get strong Get strong Get strong Get strong   Leave the mud behind and climb up the sky Wake up to the sound of doom! Leave the mud behind and climb up the sky Wake up to the sound of doom! Leave the mud behind and climb up the sky Wake up, wake up Leave the mud behind and climb up the sky Wake up to the sound of doom! Leave the mud behind and climb up the sky Wake up to the sound of doom! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Letra: Se te dijo que tragaras, gatearas y te escondieras Víctimas del miedo y el engaño Contrólate a ti mismo, elévate por enci
