These Violent Delights

There's something that they tried to reset
Can't call to mind, can't quite forget
Ye died and bled many times over
And like a doll, you got cast in a corner
Can you recall whose hands are on the wheel?
And as you fall, how does it make you feel?
They spin ya round and round
Da-da-da-da-da-daaaaah-daaaah
They spin ya round and round
Da-da-da-da-da-daaaaah-daaaah
They open you up, 'cause they'd like to see
"That doesn't look, like anything to me"
Such is the phrase, and how it did portend
That "these violent delights have violent ends…"
"These violent delights have violent ends!"
This house of cards is about to fall!
Ye give 'em nothing and ye take it all!
A quick shot boom, it's the fast draw crazies!
Que sera sera, whatever will be will be
And now you recall whose hands are on the wheel!
And as they fall, how does it make you feel?
They spin ya round and round!
They spin ya, they spin ya!
They spin ya round and-
Round, round, and round!
They spin ya round and round
And round and round and round we go!
You are the lost and found!
You take the long way round!
They spin ya round and round
Round and round they go!
Round and round ya go!

When spring ends, and summer's at the door.
We weave with strands, of willow, ash, and more.
A man who stands, well over 10 feet tall!
The heart, it skips a beat, as do my dancing feet.
Beltane’s here, it brings the giving sun.
And we cheer, “the wickerman is done!”
Dispel our fears, we raise it to the drum.
The heart it skips a beat, as do my dancing feet.
Awen, Awen
Ahhh AhAhhh Ahhh
Awen, Awen,
AhhahAhhh
Ahhahhahhaahhhaahhaaaaaah
Blessings said, and blessings on a sheet
What they read, no-one will ever see
The words we add, into the wood and straw.
The heart it skips a beat, as do my dancing feet.
Light and heat, the man is set ablaze
The cold and sleet, the fire will erase
Now, dance with me, jump through the smokey haze
The heart is in the face, we are here to give praise!
Awen, Awen
Ahhh AhAhhh Ahhh
Awen, Awen,
AhhahAhhh
Awen, Awen
Ahhh AhAhhh Ahhh
Awen, Awen,
AhhahAhhh
Ahhahhahhaahhhaahhaaaaaah
My heart it skips a beat, as do my dancing feet.

There in the dark, in the salt, in the deep waters
There, ‘neath the stars, call from the sea…
It was there that I saw my love, I know I did, in the deep water
Love, ‘neath the stars, sing once for me. And call from the sea…
Pull me underneath the waves
Where there is no light of day
Move me farther from the shore
Drag you deeper evermore
Pull me underneath the waves
Where there is no light of day
Lead me deeper evermore
Drag you to the ocean floor
Pull me under, far away!
Where there is no light of day!
Lead me deeper, give me more!
Drag you to the ocean floor!
For the last time, you steal me
And in your arms, I long to be.
For the last time, I fall free
And then your voice calls from the sea!
It was there that I saw my love, I thought I did, in the deep waters
Love, ‘neath the stars, call from the sea.
Call from the sea…

Denna Denna Doooo
I often think of you
Denna Denna Doooo
I didn’t think this through
Denna can’t be caught
Not in a net of love
Denna Denna put your guard down
Denna Denna gives me that frown
Denna is the girl you’ll always lose
Denna Denna you
Run circles in my mind
Denna Denna you
Are very hard to find
Denna never stays
More than a span of days
Denna Denna
you can’t be owned
Denna Denna
always alone
Denna is the girl you’ll always lose

Bataafse Rovers

Ik ben een Bataaf!
In dit Gelderse zand
heb ik lang gedraafd.
Dit is mijn Betuws land.
Het volk dat hier ooit woonde
was gewiekst en gehard,
Vocht terug tegen Rome
En heeft het lot getart!
Veleda heeft gesproken
De opstand is begonnen
De vuren zijn aangestoken
De Bataven zijn onbezonnen
Ze steken de Rijn over
Al zittend op hun paarden
En maaien om zich heen
Met hun Bataafse zwaarden
Het Castra Vetera
Wat Nijmegen zal worden
Is waar zij naar marcheren
Die heidense horde
Achter haar stadsmuren
Kunnen wij niet langer wonen
Want de Bataven sturen
Al hun Bataafse zonen
Er zijn er weinig over
Die weten wie wij waren
De Bataafse rovers
Die dit klusje klaarden
Met dit Bataafse lied
Halen wij ze uit de dood
Vergeet ze niet
Vergeet ons nooit!

salvete abscondita
potentis et terribils
eversor et domini
All hail: The hidden! The mighty!
Terrible destroyer and master!
He has raged and burned longer
than any of the stars in the universe!
My high lord and master
spoke of but a few who walked these shores
and came back alive
They are his prophets!
They are his children!
Few have blessed His name,
Many have cursed His name,
All must sacrifice in His name,
For his name is: CLANG!
For his name is -
CLANG!
I am the engineer.
I fear the end is near…
Silent cold death of space
arrives without a trace.
Now, I’ve got all the parts I need
I let the blueprint take the lead
Starting now the final phase.
The first tests to activate.
And I’ve got my hands on the controls.
Wonder how this will go,
but my luck don’t last that long,
‘cause something has gone proper wrong…
Rotors: Activated.
My rig: Exterminated.
My mind: Deteriorated.
Left me exasperated
In vain, I mitigated
Makes me infuriated
Clang has annihilated
HIS HUNGER NEVER SATIATED!!!
All hail and rise
for the hidden, the terrible destroyer and our master
He has raged!
He has burned!
Longer than any of the stars in our universe…
He is eternal!
He is infinite!
PRAISE ONTO HIM EVERLASTING!
TO RAGE AND BURN!
TO RAGE AND BURN!
TO RAGE AND BURN FOREVERMORE!!!
HAHAHahahaHA!
