Snarf Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Here's one I've been listening to lately: (my own translations) The 10 Commandments- Die Toten Hosen Once God told the world: Only I alone am the Lord I will bear no gods except for me You must always honor only me Do not speak out my name in vain Suffer six days, stay at home the seventh I built the heavens and the Earth and also the sea Therefore you thank me once a week Honor your parents, so that you live long In this land that the Lord gives to you You must not kill and you must not steal And you must not go near foreigners You must not lie and recount nothing falsely Choose an honest, prepared life Do not covet the house and the wife of your neighbor And nothing of that which belongs to your neighbor If I were you, beloved God And you were me, beloved God, Do you think I'd be strict with you too? If I were you, beloved God And you were me, beloved God Would you obey the commandments Just for my sake? God was despaired, as He saw on His children have failed anew every day To correct this He sent His Son But whom died in vain, as nothing changed And every warning, every threat, that came from heaven Went unheard, by the sheep of the Lord And every day we fail one more time And every day we fail one more time If I were you...

Snarf Posted October 12, 2005 Author Posted October 12, 2005 Every time I see your user name, I think it says "Onan thing", which would be mildly appropriate for these forums.
Snarf Posted October 12, 2005 Author Posted October 12, 2005 Just because his episode is one of the funnier ones in the Bible, and this is a very religious site.
onathing1 Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 that'd be really funny!!!!! good one, 9 points for that one, cuz it'd be funnier if i was a guy.lol.
Snarf Posted October 12, 2005 Author Posted October 12, 2005 Here's more German madness: Rammstein - Engel Who in lifetime is good on Earth Shall become an angel after death [Germany is largely Lutheran, okay?] Looking to heaven, you then ask Why man can't see them [i]Once the clouds have gone to sleep Can we be seen in the sky We are afraid and alone[/i] God knows I don't want to be an angel They live behind the sunshine Separated from us, endlessly far away They must clutch onto the stars So that they do not fall from the heavens (Heaven and sky are the same word in German)
Snarf Posted October 12, 2005 Author Posted October 12, 2005 Metallica - Until it Sleeps Where do I take this pain of mine I run but it stays right by my side So tear me open and pour me out There's things inside that scream and shout And the pain still hates me So hold me until it sleeps Just like the curse, just like the stray You feed it once and now it stays Now it stays So tear me open but beware There's things inside without a care And the dirt still stains me So wash me until I'm clean It grips you so hold me It stains you so hold me It hates you so hold me It holds you so hold me Until it sleeps So tell me why you've chosen me Don't want your grip Don't want your greed Don't want it I'll tear me open make you gone No more can you hurt anyone And the fear still shakes me So hold me, until it sleeps It grips you so hold me It stains you so hold me It hates you so hold me It holds you, holds you, holds you until it sleeps (x4) I Don't want it want it want it want it want it No So tear me open but beware There's things inside without a care And the dirt still stains me So wash me 'til I'm clean I'll tear thee open make you gone No longer will you hurt anyone And the hate still shapes me So hold me until it sleeps
Snarf Posted October 12, 2005 Author Posted October 12, 2005 And for polemics: Nine Inch Nails: Heresy He sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see He tries to tell me what I put inside of me He’s got the answers to ease my curiosity He dreamed up a God and called it christianity Your God is dead and no one cares If there is a hell I will see you there He flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line He made a virus that would kill off all the swine His perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain Demands devotion atrocities done in his name Your God is dead and no one cares Drowning in his own hypocrisy And if there is a hell I will see you there Burning with your God in humility Will you die for this? Stone Temple Pilots - Naked Sunday You’re the fuel to the fire You’re the weapons of war You’re the irony of justice And the father of law I’ve been waiting for awhile to meet you For the chance to shake your hand To give you thanks for all the suffering you command And when all is over and we return to dust Who will be my judge and which one do I trust You’re the champion of sorrow You’re the love and the pain You’re the fighter of evil Yet you’re one in the same I’ve been waiting for awhile to meet you For the chance to shake your hand To give you thanks for all the suffering you command And when all is over and we return to dust Who will be my judge and which one do I trust?
onathing1 Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 AH! i like rammstein!! good stuff right there!
Snarf Posted October 17, 2005 Author Posted October 17, 2005 "Mary Mary" by Chumbawamba (as featured on the soundtrack for Stigmata) Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. (Repeat) No virgin me for I have sinned I sold my soul for sex and gin Go call a priest all meek and mild And tell him, 'Mary is no more a child' It's raining stones, it's raining bile From the luxury of your denial So I don't deny, I don't make do I'll press alarms, place bets on truth (Chorus) I'm so up and down, and I love what's not allowed I was lost, now I see And now I'm growing old disgracefully Whatever happened to Mary? (Repeat) Whatever happened to (Hail Mary) I'll spit on floors, and do more drugs Burn every bill, get drunk on love Wear next to nothing in the pouring rain Be a bad example and do it all again I'll be uncareful, I'll cause such scenes And I'll never talk of used-to-be's Tattoo my face, I won't go gray Be a dancing queen, I'm growing old disgracefully (Repeat chorus) What ever happened to Mary? (Repeat) Whatever happened to Mary, Mary, Mary, quite contrary (Repeat) Nema. Htaed ruo fo ruoh eht ta dna won srennis su rof yarp, Dog fo Rehtom, Yram Yloh. Susej, bmow yht fo tiufr eht si desselb dna nemow tsgnoma uoht tra desselb, eeht htiw si Drol eht, ecarg fo lluf Yram Liah.
DemonSlayer Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 (edited) The only ones that don't seem to be anti-Christian that I can think of are the songs by Avenged Sevenfold (e.g. Chapter Four) and Soulfly. The funny thing is that although Max Cavalera doubts that the band has anything to do with Christianity, despite the fact that there are songs which clearly draws from Christian beliefs (Jesus, the psalms, the St. Michael the Archangel prayer, the rosary, Heaven, the Holy Trinity, etc) and that his religion uses aspects of Catholicism. Edited October 18, 2005 by DemonSlayer
Snarf Posted October 18, 2005 Author Posted October 18, 2005 But then again, he thought that "Thou shall not kill" was the first commandment. I enjoy Soulfly.
DemonSlayer Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Also it seems that him and his family has some sort of relationship to Serbian/Russian Orthodox Christianity (his wife's daughter was married in a Serbian Orthodox ceremony and he thanks St. Tikhon in the digipack covers of his albums, a Russian Orthodox saint).
TheOliverOrder88 Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Soulfly cometh from Islam. Every single one of his albums are "Dedicated to God" At least I think this to be true.
DemonSlayer Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 It's not Islam I don't think, he takes aspects from different religions it seems though. The reason he dedicates every album since Roots to God is because he believes God healed his son after praying for it .
hopeful1 Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 i get alot of interpretations from my immortal from evanescence, but one of the ways i look at it is someone angry at God and the chorus is God responding to them. MY IMMORTAL i'm so tired of being here suppressed by all of my childish fears and if you have to leave i wish that you would just leave because your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone these wounds won't seem to heal this pain is just too real there's just too much that time cannot erase when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears and i've held your hand through all of these years but you still have all of me you used to captivate me by your resonating light but now i'm bound by the life you left behind your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams your voice it chased away all the sanity in me these wounds won't seem to heal this pain is just too real there's just too much that time cannot erase when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears and i've held your hand through all of these years but you still have all of me i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone and though you're still with me i've been alone all along when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears and i've held your hand through all of these years but you still have all of me
hopeful1 Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 I think this is about Spiritual Warefare. whisper by evanescence catch me as i fall say you're here and it's all over now speaking to the atmosphere no one's here and i fall into myself this truth drives me into madness i know i can stop the pain if i will it all away don't turn away don't give in to the pain don't try to hide though they're screaming your name don't close your eyes God knows what lies behind them don't turn out the light never sleep never die i'm frightened by what i see but somehow i know that there's much more to come immobilized by my fear and soon to be blinded by tears i can stop the pain if i will it all away don't turn away don't give in to the pain don't try to hide though they're screaming your name don't close your eyes God knows what lies behind them don't turn out the light never sleep never die fallen angels at my feet whispered voices at my ear death before my eyes lying next to me i fear she beckons me shall i give in upon my end shall i begin forsaking all i've fallen for i rise to meet the end tourniquet by Evanescence (maybe the suicide reference is a "dying of self" and accepting Christ, i dunno?) i tried to kill the pain but only brought more i lay dying and i'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal i'm dying praying bleeding and screaming am i too lost to be saved am i too lost? my God my tourniquet return to me salvation my God my tourniquet return to me salvation do you remember me lost for so long will you be on the other side or will you forget me i'm dying praying bleeding and screaming am i too lost to be saved am i too lost? my God my tourniquet return to me salvation my God my tourniquet return to me salvation my wounds cry for the grave my soul cries for deliverance will i be denied Christ tourniquet my suicide bring me to life how can you see into my eyes like open doors leading you down into my core where i've become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold until you find it there and lead it back home wake me up inside wake me up inside call my name and save me from the dark bid my blood to run before i come undone save me from the nothing i've become now that i know what i'm without you can't just leave me breathe into me and make me real bring me to life wake me up inside wake me up inside call my name and save me from the dark bid my blood to run before i come undone save me from the nothing i've become bring me to life frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead all this time i can't believe i couldn't see kept in the dark but you were there in front of me i've been sleeping a thousand years it seems got to open my eyes to everything without a thought without a voice without a soul don't let me die here there must be something more bring me to life
