Alice in Chains - "No Excuses"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwzoNTeCjlM&feature=PlayList&p=B692E05654CE3FA3&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=8

It's alright
There comes a time
Got no patience to search
For peace of mind
Layin' low
Want to take it slow
No more hiding or
Disguising truths I've sold

Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know

It's okay
Had a bad day
Hands are bruised from
Breaking rocks all day
Drained and blue
I bleed for you
You think it's funny, well
You're drowning in it too

Yeah, it's fine
We'll walk down the line
Leave our rain, a cold
Trade for warm sunshine
You my friend
I will defend
And if we change, well I
Love you anyway
 
Steve Hackett - In Memoriam (from album Dartown 2004)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGsORJm-R4U

For someone else the blues and greens
The dreaming spires the skin-tight jeans
The armchair armies on the march
The transfer unit tube and mask
Who needs all the endless lies
That serve to keep the world alive
To taste the sweetness of the grave
And not regret mistakes I've made

In memoriam

Goodbye to all the angry dawns
Committee meetings pistols drawn
You can keep the rave reviews
The priests the guards the prisons and zoos
Goodbye to all the nation's pride
Farewell to those all choosing a side
In hut number twelve they're issuing guns
But only for the chosen ones

In memoriam

Steve Hackett - A dark night in toy town (from album Wild Orchids 2006)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccsfLKPRvk4

Alone in the crowd
Beside the big wheel
You’ve run out of luck
I know the way you feel
A dark night in toytown
Round the carousel
If you want to ride faster
It’s happiness I sell

If you can’t find heaven
I’ll show you a ghost train to hell

The pleasure principle
Is what I had in mind
I’ll make you feel invincible
Then you’ll be mine
A gorilla tranquiliser
Will help to slow you down
Monsters of the Id
Call from the underground

I know I seem sordid
Beneath you at first
I’ll pierce your defences
Take away your thirst
I hold you gently
You gasp out loud
Blood on your white cheek
The fairground closes down
 
Linkin Park - Somewhere I belong (from album Meteora 2003)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz-OpKuOU3c

[Verse 1]
I had nothing to say
and i get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(i was confused)
and i live it all out to find, but im not the only person wit these things in mind
(inside of me)
but all that they can see the words revealed
is the only real thing that i got left to feel
(nothing to lose)
just stuck hollow and alone
and the fault is my own and the fault is my own

[Chorus]
i wanna heal i wanna feel what i thought was never real
i wanna let go of the pain ive felt so long.
erase all the pain til its gone
i wanna heal i wanna feel like im close to something real.
i wanna find something ive wanted all along
somewhere i belong

and i got nothing to say. i cant believe i didnt fall right down on my face
(i was confused)
look at everywhere only to find.
it is not the way i had imagined it all in my mind.
(so what am i)
what do i have but negativity
cuz i cant trust no one by the way everyone is looking at me
(nothing to lose)
nothing to gain im hollow and alone
and the fault is my own
and the fault is my own

[repeat chorus]

[Verse 3] (Chester)
I will never know myself until i do this on my own
cuz i will never feel anything else until my wounds are healed
i will never be anything til i break away from me
i will break away. ill find myself today

[repeat chorus]
 
Keane - Crystal Ball

Who is the man I see
where I'm supposed to be?
I lost my heart, I buried it too deep
under the iron sea.

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball,
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful,
Mirror, mirror on the wall.

Lines ever more unclear,
Not sure I'm even here,
The more I look the more I think that I'm
starting to disappear.

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball,
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful,
Mirror, mirror on the wall.
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song,
I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong,
So put me where I belong.

I don't know where I am,
and I don't really care,
I look myself in the eye,
there's no one there.
I fall upon the earth,
I call upon the air,
but all I get is the same old vacant stare.

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball,
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful,
Mirror, mirror on the wall.
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song,
I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong,
So put me where I belong.

Meiko Kaji - Translation lyrics -The Flower of Carnage


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGpDEnEKqYk

Stray dog's howls and the footsteops of Geta pierce the air
I walk with the weight of the Milky Way on my shoulders
But an umbrella that holds onto the darkness is all there is.
I'm a woman who walks at the brink of life and death
Who's emptied my tears many moons ago.
All the compassion tears and dreams
The snowy nights and tomorrow hold no meaning
I've immersed my body in the river of venegance
And thrown away my womanhood many moons ago
On the behalf of heaven, they're our soldiers, the loyal, invincible and brave.
Now it's time for them to leave the country of their
Parents their hearts buoyed by encouraging voices.
They are solemnly resolved not to return alive, without victory.
Here at home, the citizens wait for you.
In foreign lands, the brave troops
Instead of kindness from someone
I do not care about
I rather prefer selifshness from you my beloved.
Oh, it the world a dream or an illusion?
I am all alone in jail.

Morphing Thru Time
(Enigma)

Earth. A biosphere.
A complex,
Subtly balanced life support system.

And the turtledove a nest
Where it might place it's young
Your altar of strengths, lord,
My king and my god,

We are floating over the line
Let us follow our mind
All of our life we'll wait for the answer
And the question is why

If we're following our mind
We can glide into light
No one knows if there'll be an answer
While we're morphing thru time

We are floating over the line
Let us follow our mind
All of our life we'll wait for the answer
And the question is why

We're just travellers
In endless space
If we're following our mind
We can glide into light

No one knows if there'll be an answer
While we're morphing thru time
 
GAZPACHO- Orion I

We're on our way
Almost surreal
I feel my hands
Numb on the wheel

You smile at me
I love you so
The mountain rests
In winter snow

The night is cold
I smile at you
The dark's not dark
But midnight blue
We are at peace
Under gentle stars
And the shadows will be drawn in the invisible dawn
It's fading

You know you've seen him in your sleep
His eyes are pebbles in the deep
Orion's glowing fire
Burning in your deepest dreams
I stop the car and kill the lights
There's someone in the winter night
He's watching you and me
And I wonder what he sees

The radio's on
Your breath is warm
We can not hear
The coming storm
That talks about
All the glory days
It's all about the one that got away that day

You know you've seen him in your sleep
His eyes are pebbles in the deep
Orion's glowing fire
Burning in your deepest dreams
I stop the car and kill the lights
There's someone in the winter night
He's smiling can't you see
Looking down at you and me

Advent Children Soundtrack - The Promised Land
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhkqSNmR1rI

The Promised Land' s lyrics and their English Translation

Cur in gremio haeremus?
Cur poenam cordi parvo damus?

Stella nobis non concessit, non concessit
Stella nobis non concessit, non concessit

Venarum pulsus in terram fluens
Parvus, parvus pulsus

Cor mortem ducens
Vita mollis in stellam
redeunt
Animam sacrificare necesse est?

Cur in gremio, in gremio haeremus?
Cur veniam petimus?
In terram fatali?



Why do we stay in the cradle?
Why do we provide suffering to (our) little heart?

Our star did not leave us, did not leave us
Our star did not leave us, did not leave us

The pulse of veins flowing in the earth
Faint, faint pulse

Heart leading to death
(And) the weak life return to the star
Is it necessary to sacrify the soul?

Why do we stay in the cradle?
Why do we beg for mercy?
In the fatal earth?
 
This a lovely simple song i think by El Perro del mar, it´s called "God Knows (gotta give to get back)".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr8WcwOKqxo

God Knows :
god knows
I've been taking a lot without giving back
god knows
I've been taking a lot without giving back

you gotta give to get
you gotta give to get back
you gotta give to get
you gotta give to get back
you gotta give to get
you gotta give to get back to the love

Hope you enjoy it! :)
