Quotes, Poetry, Writing

Somethings in life, you can't plan and just come across it. And something like that are song texts, poetry and writing. Here's a sample of self made poetry.

Iron Maiden - The longest Day

In the gloom the gathering storm abates
In the ships gimlet eyes await
The call to arms to hammer at the gates
To blow them wide throw evil to its fate

All summers long the drill to build the machine
To turn men from flesh and blood to steel
From paper soldiers to bodies on the beach
From summer sands to Armageddon's reach

Overlord, your master not your god
The enemy coast dawning grey with scud
These wretched souls puking, shaking fear
To take a bullet for those who sent them here

The world's alight, the cliffs erupt in flame
No escape, remorseless shrapnel rains
Drowning men no chance for a warriors fate
A choking death, enter hell's gates

Sliding we go, only fear on our side
To the edge of the wire
And we rush with the tide
All the water is red
With the blood of the dead
Although I'm still alive, pray to God I survive

Might of Rome - 4.4.2008

(homemade)

Legions of holy rome

standing under the dome

Being prepared, being ready

standing still, standing steady

Defy the might of rome you will

but be prepared for your kill

You're holy determination

is your only motivation

Holy wars did rome fight

but resistance grew

beyond the boarders

Rome was forced to show it's might

The might of rome what a sight

showed in all it's power and it's might

hundred legions standing waiting

in the gale of storm awaiting

Didn't fall apart, no they stood

held position hard as wood

stood the warriors strong as stone

what a sight the might of rome

In the desert sand and cloud

they moved quietly, not aloud

moving close in formation

speeding fast to new location

The formation moved with pace

not a clank not a trace

Silence fell back behind

with the dead, they don't mind

Blood is falling like the rain

The fortress unveils again

In agony and fear they die

In the mud and rain they lie

But fought the battle and won

the legion stands in the sun

They stand waiting, they stand steady

oh, behold the might of rome is ready

The Arrow - 2.4.2008

(homemade)

Today, I saw an arrow wizing by

Everyone thought i was telling a lie

The arrow was long and the arrow was narrow

It hit a tree and on it a row

A row of ants on the tree

sitting waiting for you to see

The long arrow sticking, wobbling there

the wood and blood of the tree laid bare

Today, I saw an arrow sticking in a tree

Waiting, waiting for thee to see

The arrow long, the arrow thin

The arrow black, with its kin

Time - 2.4.2008

(homemade)

Time ticks on and on

Noone knows for how long

it has been ticking before now

but when the time comes

it will vanish with a short bow

Nothing will apear for evermore

And nothing will vanish nor

things and flies and flies and things

keep on doing till it rings

Time'll ring and time will lay

all our sins on display

and oh, what a scene

time's not going, not unseen

'Till kingdom come and kingdom fall

and all mankind'll grow so tall

but what goes up, must come down

and time'll watch with smile and frown

See the empires fall again

vanish in the muddy dirt and rain

See it come up again, see the name

let the game begin again

See the earth form it's way

from nightfall to the day

and see mankind scuttling around

let us begin another round

Zombie Slam - 2.4.2008

(homemade)

There's something coming crawling

'Round the corner of your mind

You're anxious to begin the calling

To see the bodies of your kind

Coming 'round to see me

Coming 'round to see thee

Climbing up in high high trees

Every chance is a chance that you seize

Black sheep munching

Black Birds crunching

Blood is spilled everywhere

They keep killing, they don't care

Today is thy forseen funeral

Today's the day of the dead man's ball

Zombie walking up the hill

waiting anxious for the kill

Ravens fly high over the scene

trying to hide, keeping unseen

You run and run and run and run

They follow you, it's fun

The Elfin King - 1.4.2008

(translated from german, by JW von Goethe)

Who rides by night so wild

It is the father with his child

The boy is safe in his father's arm

He holds him tight, he keeps him warm

My son, what is it, why cover your face

Father, you see him, there in that place

The elfin king with his cloak and crown

It is only the mist rising up, my son

"Dear little child, will you come with me

Beautiful games I'll play with thee

Bright are the flowers we'll find on the shore

My mother has golden robes full score"

Father, oh father, and did you not hear

What the elfin king breathed in my ear

Lie quiet, my child, now never you mind,

Dry leaves it was, rushing by wind

"Come along now, you're a fine little lad

my doughters will serve you, see you are glad

My doughters dance all night in a ring

They'll cradle and dance you and lullabie sing

Father, now look, in the gloom, do you see

The elfin daughters beckon to me

My son, my son, I see and say

Those old willows, they look so grey

"I love you, beguiled by your beauty I am

If you are unwilling, I'll force you to come

Father, his fingers grip me, O

The elfin king has hurt me so

Now struck with horror, the father rides fast

His gasping child in his arm to the last

Home through thick and thin he sped

Looked in his arm, the child was dead.

Chad Kroeger - Hero

Now that the World isn't ending

it's love that I'm sending to you

It isn't the love of a hero

and that's why I fear it won't do

Coldplay - Speed of Sound

Look up, I look up at night

Planets are moving at the speed of light

Climb up, I climb up in trees

Every chance is a chance that you seize

Iron Maiden - Paschendale

Blood is falling like the rain
His crimson cloak unveils again
The sound of guns can have their say
And so we die in Paschendale

This is the story of the question of life, the universe and everything:

Of life, the universe and everything - 20.1.2008

Once upon a time, there was a highly intelligent race of alien beings. They lived their ordinary lives on the planes and jungles of Ursa Minor.
But one day, there was a young being called Zaphod Beeblebrox, who didn’t live an ordinary life on Ursa Minor. He asked himself, what he was there for, what purpose he was made for and what his existence meant.
He asked himself a long and difficult question: What is the answer to life, the universe and everything?
And slowly over the years, the whole race of Ursa Minor were pounding their minds with this question, which they couldn’t find an answer to.

So one day, they built a big computer. It’s name was Deep Thought 1 and it had one purpose: to find the answer to life, the universe and everything.
The race of Ursa Minor asked Deep Thought: “What is the answer to life, the universe and everything?”
And Deep Thought then calculated and said:
“The answer to life, the universe and everything is more complicated question than I can calculate with my processors; I can’t find the answer, I am too weak”.
And so the race of Ursa Minor destroyed Deep Thought and thought deep thoughts about what they could do next.
“We could build a bigger computer, than the universe has ever seen inn it’s six billion years of existence.”, a man then said.
And so the race of Ursa Minor built the biggest computer the universe hade ever seen in it’s six billion years of existence. It’s name was the Earth.
They asked the Earth, what the answer to life, the universe and everything was.
And Earth then said: “This is a difficult question. I’ll have to calculate for a long time” – “How long?” they shouted. “For about three million years!”.
The race of Ursa Minor was furious, but they waited for three million years.

Three million years later, there was a huge party going on around the Earth. The race of Ursa Minor was waiting for the Earth to wake up from it’s calculated sleep.
Finally, the Earth woke up. There was a shrieking cheer from the crowds around the computer.
Zaphod Beeblebrox, who had become very, very old and the president of Ursa Minor, asked the Earth the question, they had all longed an answer for.
“What is the answer to life, the universe and everything”, Zaphod asked proudly.
“You mean the ultimate answer to life, the universe and everything?” the Earth asked.
“Yes!” they all shouted in one voice.
“The Answer to life, the universe and everything is…” – “Yeeees???” – “is 42”.
Silence fell upon Ursa Minor. Five minutes of hard and deep thinking later, someone at last got the message, stood up and shouted: “Rubbish!!!”
But the Earth said: “I have calculated the answer correctly!” – “No, you can’t have!” They shouted.
“I have done it perfectly!” – “And forty-two is the answer to life, the universe and everything???” they shouted.
“Yes,” the Earth punded, “that is the answer”. And so the race of Ursa Minor destroyed the Earth and went back to their ordinary lives and didn’t ask difficult questions again.
