The Fisherman Of Ephesus - Jethro Tull

 The Fisherman Of Ephesus

Jethro Tull


Lyrics:

[Acts 5:40-42]

 

Ten set out along the rocky road

To suffer for their saintly sins

The great betrayer gone missing

Having topped himself or split his skin

Now, the young beloved one

Last son of father Zebedee

Comes to the town of Ephesus

To spin the lure and reel them in

 

Casts a line, sits waiting quietly

For the telltale nibble to reveal

The passing curiosity

The inner need, the faint appeal

Sings sweetly for his supper

Sings of miracles and fairy tales

Of barley loaves and two small fish

Of barley loaves and two small fish

To make, for multitudes, a meal

 

Fisherman of Ephesus

Surveys the spirits' battleground

Flag was flown, a story told

Of crucifix and thorny crown

Hard to go on living

With the guilt of chance survival

All alone to fall from sky

Crash landing on arrival

To walk again the rocky road

No martyrdom to comfort

Wait out the years to join the ten

In fairytale revival

 

The test of Poison cup

A little boiling oil along the way

On isle of Artemis to toil

Write memoirs at the end of day

Then back to lie in Ephesus

Along amongst the dozen

As harbour slowly suffocates

And the catch has swum far away

 

Fisherman of Ephesus:

Did he know the fate of others?

Their sticky end, the harsh rebuttal

He alone without his brothers

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

Letra:

[Hechos 5:40-42]

 

Diez partieron por el camino pedregoso

Para sufrir por sus santos pecados

El gran traidor desaparecido

Habiéndose rematado o partido la piel

Ahora, el joven amado

Último hijo del padre Zebedeo

Llega a la ciudad de Éfeso

Para lanzar el señuelo y enrollarlos

 

Lanza un señuelo, se sienta esperando en silencio

Para que el mordisco revelador aparezca

La curiosidad pasajera

La necesidad interior, el débil atractivo

Canta dulcemente para preparar su cena

Canta sobre milagros y cuentos de hadas

De panes de cebada y dos pececillos

De panes de cebada y dos pececillos

Para hacer, para multitudes, una comida.

 

Pescador de Éfeso

Inspecciona el campo de batalla de los espíritus

Se ondeó la bandera, se contó una historia

De un crucifijo y una corona de espinas

Difícil es seguir viviendo

Con la culpa de la supervivencia casual

Solo para caer del cielo

Un aterrizaje forzoso a la llegada

Para recorrer de nuevo el camino rocoso

No hay martirio para consolar

Espera unos años para unirte a los diez

En el renacimiento de los cuentos de hadas

 

La prueba de la copa de veneno

Un poco de aceite hirviendo en el camino

En la isla de Artemisa para trabajar

Escribir memorias al final del día.

Luego de vuelta a mentir en Éfeso

A lo largo de la docena

Mientras el puerto se sofoca lentamente

Y la captura ha nadado lejos

 

Pescador de Éfeso:

¿Sabía el destino de los demás?

Su final pegajoso, la dura refutación

Él solo sin sus hermanos

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...

The Only Exception - Paramore

The Only Exception Paramore Lyrics: When I was younger I saw my daddy cry And cursed at the wind He broke his own heart And I watched As he tried to ressemble it And my momma swore that She would never let herself forget And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love If it does not exist But darling, You are the only exception (x3) Maybe I know Somewhere deep in my soul That love never lasts And we've got to find other ways To make it alone Or keep a straight face And I've always lived like this Keeping a comfortable distance And up until now I had sworn to myself That I'm content with loneliness 'Cos none of it was ever worth the risk, but... You are the only exception (x6) I've got a tight grip on reality But I can't let go of what's in front of me here I know you're leaving In the morning, when you wake up, Leave me with some kind of proof it...
