Shroud of False

We are just a moment in time,

A blink of an eye,

A dream for the blind,

Visions from a dying brain.

I hope you don't understand.

Song: Shroud of False

Band: Anathema

Album: alternative 4

The album title refers to the "Alternative 3" television programme and book. In interviews, the band mentioned they found "Alternative 3" too depressing so they came up with "Alternative 4", which is the album concept.

A Powerful Message

You think that life's all dollars,

Greed and lust and spite,

But I wasn't born to follow,

Like to get my sleep at night,

Just 'Cos You Got The Power,

That don't mean you got the right

Artist: Motörhead

Album: Nö Sleep At All

Jumping My Shadow

Recently I was listening to a Skyclad playlist on YouTube.com, and Jumping My Shadow seems to catch my attention. Although the idea of this song is not an original one, it starts with a nice Kahlil Gibran quote which I am posting right now:

And ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

Why am I telling you that this is not an original idea? Because it reminds me of Cinderella's Don't Know What You Got ('Till It's Gone).

Searching the web for Skyclad I've found this meaning on Encyclopaedia Metallum: Skyclad is a pagan term for ritual nudity, meaning literally that the practitioners are clad only by the sky, due to their highly nature-oriented beliefs.

Below are the above two great love songs, and I hope you'll appreciate to their fair value!

Melancholy - Iced Earth

This song might seem to have a "melancholic" start, but one can feel the warrior behind the lyrics!

I have only recently "discovered" this American classic metal band, but it deserves our attention!
