Skyforest - I Wish the Dawn Would Never Come

This is one of the best songs I ever heard. Fantastic, absolutely beautiful

Green Day - When It's Time

Caladan Brood - To Walk the Ashes of Dead Empires

This is, in my modest opinion, one of the best songs ever created. I know the vocals may be a turn off for some people, but the instrumental is simply a must in terms of originality, feeling very genuine and heartfelt. Fantastic song.

Bon Jovi - Always ( Live Madison Square Garden )

Avenged Sevenfold - Seize The Day

Blink-182 - I Miss You

 \
Don't waste your time on me you're already The voice inside my head Don't waste your time on me you're already The voice inside my head
I miss you, I miss you

Jim Morrison - The Soft Parade (excerpt)

"I am troubled, immeasurably
By your eyes.
I am struck by the feather
Of your soft reply.
The sound of glass speaks quick,
Disdain
And conceals
What your eyes
Fight
To explain.”

Jim Morrison, Wilderness: The Lost Writings, Vol. 1

Lord Byron - She Walks In Beauty

"She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!"

Cradle of Filth - Bathory Aria (Promo Demo)

Metallica - Fade to Black (live)

"No one but me

Can save myself but it's too late

Now I can't think

Think what I should even try

Yesterday seems

As though it never existed

Death greets me warm

Now I'll just say goodbye"

Heaven's Touch - Chapter 1 pt2

    My brain keeps waiting for you, even when I want to let it go. This wait is painful to feel. Trying to climb some steps I keep realizing that there is this force that keeps pushing me backwards, preventing my heart to feel anything but pain and anguish.

    An hallucination invades these eyes. "Am I dreaming again?" asks my brain, mocking me with this rhetorical question. Screaming mouths with no owner, hands and feet detached from a pile of bodies that seem to be missing in action. While watching this macabre show I realize that life is nothing but a narrow long path that keeps throwing us stones each time we get up to get some air. For each step I take the colder the environment is, an hypothermia like state freezes my senses, my brain, my pain...

    Close to my bare feet, just a couple of meters past the point of no return, I find a letter. The small distance seems an herculean effort to be travelled, every molecule of my body hurts because of the previous sudden drop in temperature. Almost to tired to move, I bend my trying body and pickup this mysterious gift from an unknown source. One last grasp of air allows me to open it and start the reading process:

"Time starts to open wounds

Once closed by the presence

Of one's desired loved one,

Eternal rampage weakens it's body

While thoughts full of pain

Invade the barely livid mind.

A fake sense of well being

Broken down by a brick wall of misery,

An hopeful idea crumbles

At the feet of impossible distances;

Two souls wander without destiny,

Two souls whose path's are forsaken.

Now with wounds wide open

Not even the memory

Of a once shared heat

Is enough to rehabilitate

This excruciating agony."

    With these words my memory seemed to wake up from it's dormant state, reminding me of times of happiness and pain. Every tiny bit of acknowledgment of a face, a touch and a body reminds me of these painful times of suffering, with good memories being replaced by every bad word spoken, every bad action taken. Is it too much too ask for a little bit of sympathy?

Heaven's Touch - Chapter 1 pt1

    I feel the gentle touch of wind in my dreams. Silence invades my heart as I long for eternal rest. Words disappear in front of my resting brain while my body starts shutting down, keeping only the required services to maintain life support. Never felt this type of peace before, so calm and warming that I almost feel the need to dream forever. A question arises, waiting for an answer that will never come: Why can't we dream forever?

    It's strange to feel so empty and, at the same time, feel so alive. Long gone are the times where one day seemed like an eternity, where the most honest mistake was considered by me a capital error. I'm still trying to change who I am, even though I don't know who I am. "Sorry for the nonsensical reasoning", screams my head in agony because of such stupid sentence.

    Suddenly! I wake up in misery. The dream is now over, peace is gone and my brain keeps bugging me with one hundred questions per second, and then one hundred more. How can eternity last to little while pain keeps returning every once in a while to rule one's life? This same questions keeps popping and popping. It's strange to feel trapped inside your head, feeling hopeless and a slave to your own chemical reactions. Why it happens? I cannot find the proper answer...

Summoning - Land of the Dead

Não há paz

Gritos mudos de sabedoria
Invadem as inconscientes mentes
Daqueles que se recusam a acordar.

Dormem vida,
Dormem sabedoria,
Dormem amizade,
Dedicam-se a meras trivialidades
Que passarão de moda
Quando a moda passar.

A estupidez dos audazes
Que escolhem a ignorância,
A prova fatal da não existência
Do superior
Provém da sua felicidade ingénua
De quem renuncia à sabedoria.

The Mystery of a Lie

Idolizing the legend of one's short mystery,
Blood stops running through the veins
Of a dying body
Whose soul left, unnoticed,
A long time ago.

A shortness of breath announces
Life's last grasp,
While a fainting light
Is seen by the horizon,
The illusion of life reveals itself.

Happiness,
Existence's greatest lie,
Perpetuated by the power of the occult,
A body without matter
That's never hungry, that never sleeps.

Agony

Time starts to open wounds
Once closed by the presence
Of one's desired loved one,
Eternal rampage weakens it's body
While thoughts full of pain
Invade the barely livid mind.
A fake sense of well being
Broken down by a brick wall of misery,
An hopeful idea crumbles
At the feet of impossible distances;
Two souls wander without destiny,
Two souls whose path's are forsaken.
Now with wounds wide open
Not even the memory
Of a once shared heat
Is enough to rehabilitate
This excruciating agony.

Na Distância Sentem-se as Audazes Criaturas

Na impressionante comunhão
De almas cantantes em uníssono
Particularizo o célebre olhar,
Onde seis palavras descreveram
Na perfeição,
Sob esbelto luar,
Uma vida não anunciada,
Apenas sentida e aclamada,
Por entre distâncias inatingíveis
E humores separados.

No longínquo não esmorece
O sentimento,
Na proximidade propaga-se
E sente-se.

O correr de um aconchego
Imaginado todos os instantes,
O calor de uma alma conturbada
Com outra conturbada,
Talvez ainda mais;
Duas criaturas da noite
Experimentam,
Sob o olhar atento de um céu
Que nunca esquece.

Realidade

Longas trilhas
Afastam a impossibilidade
Que por vezes se concretiza,
Onde um olhar e outro olhar
Se cruzam em direcções concordantes,
Num Mundo fantasioso
Onde a ficção é uma realidade
Momentânea.

A Saudade dissipa-se
Por entre uma amálgama
De corpos e desejos,
Qualquer réstia de de tristeza e dor
É mera ilusão
Dentro desta não ilusão,
Tudo resto é sonho perpétuo.
