Medium: play/myth/etc.
Fandom: Greek Mythology
Subject: Clytemnestra
Title: No Fear of the Husband
Notes: A gift for agirlought! 29 tracks, featuring mostly female singers. A mix celebrating the fabulousness that is Clytemnestra, the killer queen of the house of Atreus. (Because we all know there's nothing better than mythological ladies who kill people.)

“Words, endless words I’ve said to serve the moment -
now it makes me proud to tell the truth.
How else to prepare a death for deadly men
who seem to leove you? How to rig the nets
of pain so high no man can overleap them?”
{ LAPIS PHILOSOPHORUM } Warsaw Philharmonic Choir
Instrumental
{ ANTEBELLUM } Vienna Teng
I know the border lines we drew between us
Keep the weapons down,
Keep the wounded safe;
I know our antebellum innocence
Was never meant to see the light of our armistice day
{ LANDFILL } Daughter
Throw me in a landfill
Don't think about the consequences
Throw me in the dirt pit
Don't think about the choices that you make
{ WOMAN KING } Iron and Wine
Hundred years, hundred more
Someday we may see a
Woman king, sword in hand
Swing at some evil and bleed
{ LEAVES ARE BURNING } Danny Schmidt
Spill my lungs of dirt and fury
Cause dirt and fury have filled my lungs
Kick my feet and spit my story
Of rage and glory, come clear my lungs
{ THE APPLE WAS EVE } The World/Inferno Friendship Society
And hell is full of faithless hearts,
let mine not be counted among them
I will spit on your grave when the winter comes
But at your grave I shall be
{ TEN FEET OF SNOW } The Action Design
Everybody thinks they know,
Best clear your head of bad advice,
Take your cues from deep inside,
Do something wrong, do something right
{ BROADRIPPLE IS BURNING } Margot and the Nuclear So & Sos
And if my woman was a fire
She'd burn out before I wake
And be replaced by pints of whiskey
Cigarettes and outer space
{ APRES MOI } Regina Spektor
I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I, oh, must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice
{ POWER & CONTROL } Marina and the Diamonds
Power and control,
I’m gonna make you fall
Power and control,
I’m gonna make you fall
{ RANDAJAD } Urban Symphony
(no tranlsation available)
{ NEVER FORGIVE } Assemblage 23
Rain down
Tears of regret
You haven't seen the worst of it yet
Your name
A foul epithet
Never forgive... never forget
{ BEAUTIFUL ENEMY } Dar Williams
My nation's grand,
Your name's not on any signs
It's so well-planned
And well groomed and yet sometimes,
The past tornadoes through
People talk about you
Can't they see that your reign is steely and torturous?
{ RUIN } The Pierces
All that I want
Is for you to come to ruin
All that I want
Is for you to come to ruin
All that I want
Is for you to come crawling back
{ JUNGLE } Emma Louise
In a dark room we fight, make up for our love.
I've been thinking, thinking about you, about us.
And we're moving slow, our hearts beat so fast.
I've been dreaming, dreaming about you, about us.
{ THEY } Jem
Who made up all the rules?
We follow them like fools,
Believe them to be true,
Don't care to think them through
{ SACRAMENT OF WILDERNESS} Nightwish
I want to hunt with the tameless heart
I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar
We will honor the angel in the snow
We will make the streams for our children flow
{ PATH } Apocalyptica
Instrumental
{ HOMEWRECKER } Marina and the Diamonds
I'm only happy when I'm on the run
I break a million hearts just for fun
I don't belong to anyone
{ ROMANTICIDE } Nightwish
The music is dead, the amen is said
The kiss of faith is what I beg
A loving heart and soul for sale
{ BLOOD } Editors
Blood runs through your veins
thats where our similarity ends
Blood runs through our veins
{ NOBODY’S SIDE } Judy Kuhn
Everybody's playing the game
But nobody's rules are the same
Nobody's on nobody's side
Better learn to go it alone
Recognize you're out on your own
Nobody's on nobody's side
{ I WILL PREVAIL } Kate Shindle
This time it's gonna be me
The last thing you'll ever see
An armageddon of my devising
{ THE PROXIMITY OF DEATH (BLUE EYED BOY) } Jordan Reyne
There's only 6 miles of bad road between you and I
Only 6 miles of Bad Road and blue sky
If he gets there fast, you won't feel his breath
You won't catch my eye
But I count the time and I watch the days
Till he helps you fly
{ PRODIGAL SON } Heather Dale
Did you think that you were better, somehow better than me?
You come here with your arms thrown wide like that means anything to me
You think 'cause you're a big man now you can take what isn't yours
You come here in your righteousness and you think that opens doors
{ I WILL NOT BOW } Breaking Benjamin
And I'll survive, paranoid
I have lost the will to change
And I am not proud, cold-blooded fake
I will shut the world away
{ MURDER } Within Temptation
I've been around these vicious lies too
Too long to be neglecting the truth
I'm getting closer and I'm fully armed.
{ HOLLOW LIKE MY SOUL } Emilie Autumn
Just don't try
Run and hide
My eyes are hollow like my soul
{ REVENGE } 30 Seconds to Mars
And yes I will get my... revenge
“And now you sentence me? -
you banish me from the city, curses breathing
down my neck? But he -
name one charge you brought against him then.”
