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

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship - Alestorm

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship Alestorm Lyrics: In the dead of night We hear the sound of thunder Undead fiends arise To terrorize and plunder Crawling through the sea A dendrophagic horde Our ship's no longer safe The zombies have just climbed aboard! Bloodlust in their eyes Our boat is their prize A feast for the dead Devouring the ship and inside of our heads Far across the sea Zombies wait for me Craving brains and treasure It's their destiny Til my dying day Hear these words I say Zombies ate my pirate ship I will make them pay Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (They are a bunch of undead pricks) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (I'll smash their face in with a brick) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Centuries ago The prophecy was written So the story goes The grimmest and the true frostbitten Druids made a pact That zombie ...

Fingers In The Wounds - Bruce Dickinson

 Fingers In The Wounds Bruce Dickinson Lyrics: It just takes a hero, you're standing in shadow You walk in the shoes, with feet made of clay So who is the sinner and who is the prophet? The rules of the game that you're gonna play   So put your fingers in the wounds and pray that it's God A roll of the dice for a piece of his cloth It just takes a hero from a nickel or a dime Take a pearl from an oyster and feed it to swine   We all want to be you for a glimmer of hope There's not enough gold at the end of your rope And no one can hear you, your life is a zero You only can be what the people they see   So put your fingers in the wounds and pray that it's God A roll of the dice for a piece of his cloth It just takes a hero from a nickel or a dime Take a pearl from an oyster and feed it to swine   Over and over Over and over   So put your fingers in the wounds and pray that it's God A roll of the dice fo...

Wormhole - Avatar

Wormhole Avatar Lyrics: The propulsion is broken We implode No one cares Abandon all hope Just don't abandon me A sickness I used to know Sickness inside the heart One million miles ago And one million years apart The wormhole The wormhole is closing There's no navigator The starlight is lost No one's left Everything's gone You're doomed, so stay with me A sickness I used to know Sickness inside the heart One million miles ago And one million years apart The wormhole The wormhole is closing We built pillars to the sky as a final attempt To take off upon the solar winds What no one realized at the time Was that the earthly structures took the shape of a mausoleum Banished from the vacuum void we once came from Our caskets were petroleum A sickness I used to know Sickness inside the heart One million miles ago And one million years apart A sickness I used to know Sickness insid...
