Coal Chamber - The Devil's Cry

Sep 11, 2008 12:39

*shrugs* Just really like the song for some reason. Not my 'normal' style to listen to repeatedly, either. Though I like the lyrics, I also tend to not pay much attention to lyrics in music, as I listen more to the tone and pitch of the words, and how they interlace with the song, than their actual meaning.

In general a lot of folks seem to see lyrics as a separate entity from the music, but I hear the voice as simply another instrument. Not always certainly, but generally you could sing "I like cheese!" or just make three grunts in the same tone and I'd hear both as the same thing.

That said, I especially like how they interlace two sets of lyrics into each other near the end.

Hum, embed didn't work so well, so here's just the link:

Steal the soul for a second chance
But you will never become a man
I just wonder what makes me stronger
In a life that craves the hunger
Fade away in a quest for life
Until the end, don't judge me nice

Stepping forth, the cure for soul's demise
Rip the tears of the victim's cries
Yearnin' more to keep the suffer of a
Brother demon as I put it under
Kill before a time that killed them all
Backstab the righteous law
Serving justice that dwells in me
Nothing comes as far as the eye can see
The eye can see (x3)

We are falling
The night is calling
Tears inside me
Calm me down

Bless me with a
Leaf off of the tree
On it, I see
The freedom reign

We are falling (The powers cruelly demand for madness)
The night is calling (Upon a ticket to end the savage)
Tears inside of me (Don't raise a life through truth of killing)
Calm me down (True my father, the blood is bleeding)

Midnight, Passing(A just treat for all to feel)
Here softly sobbing (With menacing cries and victory squeals)
Ground me with a (The goal before seems to satisfy)
Lonely need (Which way to make them pacify)

Bless me with a (I Just see torture, makes me stronger)
Leaf off of the tree (In a life that craves the hunger)
On it, I see (Ill fade away in a quest for life)
The freedom reign (Until the end, don't judge me nice)

Praised to my father (Watch the footsteps, but never follow)
Blessed by the water (If you want to live tomorrow)
Black night, dark sky (Steal a soul for a second chance)
The Devils cry (But you will never become a man)
