The Rock Influence.

Rock is a form of popular music, usually featuring

vocals (often with vocal harmony), electric guitars,
and a strong back beat; other instruments, such as
the saxophone, are common in some styles. As a
cultural phenomenon, rock's social impact on the
world is likely unparalleled by any other kind of
music. It has been credited with ending wars and
spreading peace and tolerance, as well as corrupting
the innocent and spreading moral rot. Rock, born in
the United States, has become popular across the
globe, and has evolved into a multitude of highlyvarying styles.
Sometimes rock is also called rock and roll (also
spelled rock 'n' roll, especially in its first decade),

but a more widespread usage, followed also by the

All Music Guide is to specifically use rock and roll to
refer to the genre's early years in the 1950s and
1960s, and the shorter rock as an umbrella
category.
The genre of rock is broad, and its boundaries
loosely-defined. It is sometimes used to describe a
number of genres only distantly related, including
soul and heavy metal.
Although Hip-Hop and R&B rose to the top of the
charts in the mid-90s in the U.S. and have
maintained their position ever since, rock will be
remembered as the most popular form of music in
the history of the world and continues to be the
most popular form of music in most countries today.

Heavy metal .is a form of music characterized by

aggressive, driving rhythms and highly amplified
distorted guitars, generally with grandiose lyrics and
virtuosic instrumentation. Heavy metal is a
development of blues, blues rock, rock and prog
rock. Its origins lie in the hard rock bands who
between 1967 and 1974 took blues and rock and
created a hybrid with a heavy, guitar-and-drumscentered sound. Heavy metal had its peak
popularity in the 1980s, during which many of the
now existing subgenres first evolved. Although not
as commercially successful as it was then, heavy
metal still has a large world-wide following of fans
known by terms like metalheads and headbangers.

Themes. Heavy metal, as an art form, is more

than just music; it is as much visual as it is
2

audible. Album covers and stage shows are

almost as important to the presentation of the
material as the music itself. Thus, through
heavy metal, many artists collaborate to
produce a menu of experiences in each piece,
offering a wider range of experiences to the
audience. In this respect, heavy metal becomes
perhaps more of a diverse art form than any
single form dominated by one method of
expression. Whereas a painting is experienced
visually, a symphony experienced audibly, a
heavy metal band's "image" and the common
theme that binds all their music is expressed in
the artwork on the album, the set of the stage,
the tone of the lyrics, in addition to the sound of
the music.
Rock historians tend to find that the influence of
Western pop music gives heavy metal its escapefrom-reality fantasy side, as an escape from reality
through outlandish and fantastic lyrics, while
African-American blues gives heavy metal its naked
reality side, focusing on loss, depression and
loneliness.
If the audio, and thematic components of heavy
metal are predominantly blues-influenced reality,
then the visual component is predominantly popinfluenced fantasy. The themes of darkness, evil,
power, and apocalypse are fantastic language
components for addressing the reality of life's
problems. Further, in reaction to the "peace and
love" hippie culture of the 1960s, heavy metal
developed as a counterculture, where light is
supplanted by darkness, and the happy ending of
pop is replaced by the naked reality that things do
not always work out in this world. Whilst fans claim
that the medium of darkness is not the message,
3

critics have accused the genre of glorifying the

negative aspects of reality
Heavy metal themes are typically graver than the
generally airy pop from the 1950s, 1960s and
1970s, focusing on war, nuclear annihilation,
environmental issues, political and religious
propaganda. Black Sabbath's "War Pigs", Ozzy
Osbourne's "Killer of Giants" and Metallica's "...And
Justice for All" are examples of serious contributions
to the discussion of the state of affairs. The
commentary on reality sometimes tends to become
over-simplified because the fantastic poetic
vocabulary of heavy metal deals primarily with very
clear dichotomies of light and dark, hope and
despair, good and evil, which do not make much
room for complex shades of grey.
Some might differentiate by observing that pure
heavy metal does not generally sing about love,
while many hair metal songs are focused on love. In
some respects, one might argue that the hair metal
scene of the 1980s was the logical endpoint of the
glitter or glam rock movement of the 1970s; the
visual similarities between the two, with the makeup and fanciful costumes, make the argument more
compelling. Glitter rock, however, was lyrically
focused on sexual ambiguity, free expression and
individuality, while hair metal was unambiguously
macho and heterosexual, with little room for
diversity of political or social opinions. Ultimately,
"pure" heavy metal would position itself at the
periphery of pop culture, never quite at centre, and
metal denizens contend that the move towards the
centre was a commercialism that compromised both
the artistic integrity of the form and the opportunity
for messages to be taken seriously.

Cultural impact
The loud, confrontational aspects of heavy metal
have led to friction between fans and mainstream
society in many countries. Due to the hedonistic
nature promoted by the music and its occasional
anti-religious sentiments heavy metal as a subculture has come under attack in many Islamic
countries where even wearing a black T-shirt can be
an arrestable offence. In Europe and America, the
fan base for heavy metal consists primarily of white
males in their teens and 20's, many of whom are
attracted to heavy metal's overtly anti-social yet
fantastical lyrics and extreme volume and tempos.
Hence, the stereotype of the spotty-faced,
adolescent headbanger venting his rebellious urges
by listening to preposterously loud, morbid music.
This image has been highlighted in popular culture
with such television shows and movies as "Beavis
and Butt-head"" and "Airheads". Heavy metal's
bombastic excesses, exemplified by hair metal, have
often been parodied, most famously in the film This
Is Spinal Tap (see also the phenomenon of the heavy
metal umlaut). Douglas Adams neatly satirised the
propensity for excessive volume in The Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy with the fictional rock band
Disaster Area creators of the loudest sound in the
known universe. It should be noted, however, that
Adams was satirising Pink Floyd stage shows
specifically, rather than heavy metal in general.
Many heavy metal stylings have made their way into
everyday (albeit ironic) use; for instance, the "devil
horns" hand sign first popularised by Ronnie James
Dio has become a common sight at many rock
concerts. During the 1970s and 1980s, flirtation with
5

occult themes by artists such as Ozzy Osbourne,

W.A.S.P. and Iron Maiden led to accusations of
"Satanic" influences in heavy metal by
fundamentalist Christians. One popular contention
during that period was that heavy metal albums
featured hidden messages urging listeners to
worship the Devil or to commit suicide (see Judas
Priest and backward message and Allegations of
Satanism in popular culture).

Alternative rock. The terms alternative rock and

alternative music were coined in the early 1980s
to describe punk rock-inspired music genres
which didn't fit into the mainstream genres of the
time. At times it was used as catch-all phrase for
rock music from underground artists in the 1980s
and rock music in general in the 1990s. More
specifically, it is made up mostly of genres that
appeared in the 1980s and became popular or
well known by the 1990s, such as indie rock,
post-punk, gothic rock, and college rock. Most
alternative bands were unified by their collective
debt to punk, which laid the groundwork for
underground and alternative music in the 1970s.
Though the genre is considered to be rock, some
of its genres were influenced by folk music,
reggae, techno and jazz music among other
genres.

Progressive rock
Progressive rock (shortened to prog, or prog
rock when differentiating from other "progressive"
genres) is an ambitious, eclectic, and often
grandiose style of rock music which arose in the late
1960s, reached the peak of its popularity in the
6

early 1970s, and continues as a musical form to this

day. Progressive rock began in England and
remained largely a European movement, although
there are a few notable American and Canadian
progressive rock bands. This music style draws
many influences from classical music and jazz
fusion, in contrast to American rock, which was
more influenced by rhythm & blues and country.
Over the years various sub-genres of progressive
rock have emerged, such as symphonic rock, art
rock, math rock and progressive metal.
Progressive rock artists sought to move away from
the limitations of popular rock and pop music
formats, and "progress" rock to the point that it
could achieve new forms, often but not always
alluding to the sophistication of jazz or classical
music. It is complexity, not the virtuosity of the
musicians, which most distinguishes progressive
rock: mainstream rock has some extremely talented
musicians who work solely in simple meters and
harmonies.
Progressive rock is difficult to define in a single
conclusive way, and outspoken King Crimson leader
Robert Fripp has voiced his disdain for the term. The
major acts that defined the genre in the 1970s (in
no particular order, Jethro Tull, Yes, Genesis, Pink
Floyd, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Rush and King
Crimson) do not sound especially alike. Indeed, in
some cases the bands themselves and/or wellknown commentators such as Bill Martin (author of
Listening to the Future - see Further Reading) would
question whether one or another of these seven are
really progressive rock bands at all. (This article
shall assume that they are, or at least, that they
were in the 1970s.) There is also debate on whether
the musical output of artists and bands as varied as
7

Frank Zappa, Deep Purple, Phish, Radiohead, and

Tool belongs to the genre.

What's wrong with "Christian"

rock music?
Bible Reading: Numbers 21:1-9
Aim: To examine "Christian" rock music as it
compares with godliness, worship of Christ and the
Bible.
Introduction:
"Sing unto him a new song". Psalms 33:3,4
"He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise
to our God." Psalm 40:3
As Bible believing Christians, we must rebuke error
when we see it.
"I charge thee before God and the Lord Jesus
Christ ... Preach the Word;
Be instant in season, out of season ( i.e. when it is
unpopular);
Reprove (tell a fault, convince, convict), rebuke
(forbid, straightly charge),exhortwith all long
suffering and doctrine ". II Timothy 4:2
Nor faint when thou art rebuked of him. Hebrews
12:5

"All Scripture .... is profitable for doctrine, for

reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect.
II Tim.3:16

I. Question: What is wrong with worldly,

non Christian rock music?
Answer: 1. It has ungodly themes of rebellion, drugs,
sex, and demons.
1. It's musicians set an ungodly lifestyle example
of deep sin.
2. Rock music is addictive as it causes the brain to
release opiates.
4. Rock beat with its uneven flow is opposite to the
body's natural rhythm. e.g. da-da-da beat, stop at
end of bar, and the listener subconsciously "comes
to a halt" at the end of each bar.
5. Rock beat causes "switching" to occur in the brain
as it loses symmetry between left and right sides.
This causes stress and it is as if a person's body can
no longer distinguish what is beneficial and what is
harmful. The body actually chooses that which is
destructive over that which is therapeutic. Turning
down the volume won't help.
6. David Bowie rock star says:
"Rock has always been the devil's music."
Little Richard says:
"I believe this kind of music is demonic."
7. Rock music contains many clear back masked and
subliminal messages.

Here is an example of the lyrics of the

song of Iron Maiden, the Number of the
Beast:
Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil sends
the
beast with wrath, because he knows the time is
short...
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number
of the
beast for it is a human number, its number is Six
hundred and
sixty six."
I left alone my mind was blank
I needed time to think to get the memories from my
mind
What did I see can I believe that what I saw
that night was real and not just fantasy
Just what I saw in my old dreams were they
reflections of my warped mind staring back at me
'Cos in my dream it's always there the evil face that
twists my mind
and brings me to despair
The night was black was no use holding back
'Cos I just had to see was someone watching me
In the mist dark figures move and twist
Was this all for real or some kind of hell
666 the number of the beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
As they start to cry hands held to the sky
10

In the night the fires burning bright

The ritual has begun Satan's work is done
666 the number of the beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight
This can't go on I must inform the law
Can this still be real or just some crazy dream
But I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes
They seem to mesmerise me ... can't avoid their
eyes
666 the number of the beast
666 the one for you and me
I'm coming back I will return
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn
I have the fire I have the force
I have the power to make my evil take it's course
II. Question: What's wrong with Christian Rock
Music?

1. Very little CCM (Contemporary Christian

Music) encourages heart searching or
reproof.
Amy Grants "Raining on the inside" ends with
"WOW" You know ... I'm just getting really excited".
Compare this shallow message with the famous
song:
"Am I a soldier of the cross?"

2. Does the song Exalt Christ? Or

emphasise man?
e.g. Does it emphasise the singer's loneliness, the
believer's needs, his feelings or does it glorify
11

Christ? Compare it with the famous hymns: "Holy,

Holy, Holy," " Worship the King".

3. Does the song lose the sense of God's

majesty, solemnity, and reverence?
4. C-Rock teaches teens to sneer at
traditional church music as boring, and to
rebel against their parents and their
church as being out of touch with their
worldly music tastes.
This shows contempt for the richest wealth of Bible
music ever created.
Four tests for good church music are:
i ) Music should uplift the church not mock or
criticise it.
ii) Music should carry Bible messages, not anti Bible
message
iii) Music should bring more glory to God, than to the
performer.
iv) Music should feed the spirit more than the old
flesh
Classic Christian hymns don't feed the flesh, they
show it as rotten to the core. Compare these songs:
Rock on - Stryken
"Come on everybody/put your hands above your
head/Today we're screaming'/'Cause tomorrow you
might be dead/the earth is shaking', and the clouds
are rolled away/Come on everybody/Get ready for

12

the Judgment Day/Rock on, Got my feet on the

ground/Got my eyes on Heaven/Rock on ....."
My Saviour's Love
"I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus the
Nazarene/
And wonder how He could love me/a sinner
condemned, unclean......"
Compare that piercing Bible truth to this bit of CRock wisdom, by CCM star Charlie Peacock:
Big Man's Hat
"I used to have a big man's thoughts/In a young
man's world/You got to have big man's thoughts/To
make a big man's girl/And when I finally made that
girl, she did not have a clue/That I would break her
like a matchstick/That I could turn young love into
the third world war...."

5. Lies used to justify C-Rock:

Lie 1: Satan's lie in C-rock is "Music is
neutral".
Answer: Neutral music does not drive away
demons, but David's music did drive away King
Saul's demons. I Samuel 16:14-23.
Therefore, forsake C-rock and stop quenching the
Holy Spirit.
Lie 2: "Only the words matter"
Answer: If you take Jesus Christ or the Bible out of
the music, it's no more Christian than worldly rock
music. Christian music by definition is about Jesus
13

Christ, not about dope, abortion, starvation or selfesteem. Ephesians 5:19 says that we are "Singing
and making melody to the Lord", not to people.
Lie 3: Keith Green says:
"I have never ONCE seen a case where music
was the DIRECT CAUSE OF SIN OR
WICKEDNESS IN A PERSON'S LIFE."
Keith Green says:
"no music is intrinsically evil".
Answer: What about the heavy metal bands that
openly praise Satan?
What about rock music that preached drug taking,
sexual promiscuity, rebellion, occultism eastern
religions, and new age values?
As it was sung in the 60's, it sweeps the world in the
90's.
Keith Green, the father of Christian rock music,
you're a liar or mad.
Lie 6: C-Rock departs from normal music.
Answer: Seidel, a concert pianist and 25 year
Christian music expert states that:
"True godly music, will be composed of three
elements - all in perfect balance with each other.
They are: MELODY, HARMONY, and RHYTHM.
Rock "music" has no melody - only fragments of
melody endlessly repeated. Since there is no true
melody, there is no real harmony. There is only
rhythm and rhythm in and of itself is not music."
14

C-rock ends with a crash or long fade-out, with no

resolution.
Lie 7: Christian rock music rhythm doesn't
hurt anybody.
Answer: The rhythm (not the words) of rock music
caused brain damage to laboratory animals, and
killed laboratory plants. Its backbeats and
breakbeats swamp, consume and dominate the
listener. Its high pitched human and electronic
screams give musical chaos. True music has loud
and soft intensity. Rock music's intensity is as loud
as possible (190db), for as long as possible.
In I Kings 19:11, 12 the Lord was not in the strong
wind, nor in the earthquake, nor in the fire, but in "a
still, small voice." Not like rock music.
Lie 8: In order to reach the lost, we must pre
evangelise with Christian rock music. C-Rockers
say "Jesus Christ rocks".
Answer: C-rock confuses, pollutes and deceives the
next generation of the body of Christ. C-rock makes
a vulgar image of God, glorifies self, and makes God
in man's own rebellious image.
Lead singer, Bono Hewson of U2: Bono dislikes the
label "born-again Christian" - and he doesn't go to
church either.
I'm a very, very bad advertisement for God ..." CCM
Magazine Nov'88
"The combination of sound, rhythm, colour and
movement can be used to attract demonic spirits
into people" - Alistair Crowley.

15

Lie 9: C-rock copies the world.

John 15:18 "If the world hates you, ye know it hated
me..."
C-rock devotees feel secure in saying that there is
no Scripture saying "Thou shalt not listen of
Christian rock".
Answer: There is no verse that says "Don't beat
your wife" either.
They desire to "Let me keep sinning."
Consider these verses against C-rock:
i) I John 2:15, 16 "Love not the world, neither the
things that are in the world. If any man loves the
world, the love of the Father is not in him."
C-rock looks like, and is worldly. When C-rock stars
wear skin tight spandex, teased long hair, use
smoke bombs, and strobe lights, this is the lust of
the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life.
If you can't see this, you are in deep bondage to the
flesh.
ii) James 4:4 "... A friend of the world is the enemy
of God".
CCM stars look and act like the world.
CCM music and lyrics are like the world.
Barren Cross: "They have the sound and intensity of
Iron Maiden"
Amy Grant: "Lyrically, the only difference between
Amy Grant's love songs and Olivia Newton Johns is
16

that often Amy Grant's pronouns come with capital

letters".
Stryper: "Outward trappings of ... from Maiden, and
JudasPriest."
Therefore C-rock stars learned from secular rock
stars years ago.

Objection: Fans say "That's just the music; the

lyrics are the real difference."
Answer: Let's do an experiment. Which song is
Christian and which is secular?
BURN IN HELL SILENCE SCREAMS
"Take

a good look in your heart/Tell me, "The folly in

our passions/
what you see?/ It's black and it's dark/ The prisons
of desire/ The
Now is that how you want it to be?/ foolishness of
bigots/Tinder for
It's up to you, what you do will decide the fire/In
bitterness and exile/
your own fate/Make your choice now, As foolish as it
seems/ In the
for tomorrow may be far too late/And then coldest,
darkest spirit/Silence
you'll burn in Hell/Oh burn in Hell/ screams/Silence
screams/ The

17

You're gonna burn in Hell..." echoes roar/Silence

screams forevermore.."
Fiery judgment against sin: Twisted Sister.
Resurrection band: "Christian"
The heathen produce more Biblical lyrics than so
called Christian rock music.
iii) I Corinthians 10:20 "I would not that ye should
have fellowship with devils."
C-rock contains demon messages backmasked
praising Satan.
iv) II Corinthians 6:14 "What fellowship has
righteousness with unrighteousness? and what
communion has light with darkness ?"
v) Ephesians 5:11 "Have no fellowship with the
unfruitful works of darkness but rather reprove
them. For it is a shame (sin guilt shame) even to
speak of those things which are done of them in
secret".
C-rock fellowships with worldly darkness.
Lie 10: Theres nothing wrong with rock bands
in a church.
Answer: "They (the priests) have put no difference
between the holy and profane, neither have they
showed a difference between the unclean and the
clean." Ezekiel 22:29
There's supposed to be a difference between holy
and profane (godless), clean and unclean, but
Christian-rock tries to erase that line.
18

vii) Numbers 21:1-9 applies to C-rock. God's people

loathed God's provision of manna. The things of God
weren't good enough for them. They wanted the
things they had when they were back in bondage in
Egypt. Today, for some Christians, old fashioned,
traditional Christian music isn't good enough any
more. Some believers long for the same old garbage
that they had back in their unsaved , "bondage to
sin" days.
viii) II Corinthians 6:17 "Come out from among them
and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not
the unclean thing"
Nothing is filthier than rock music.

Reason 12: C-rockers are Ignorant of Satan's

game to COUNTERFEIT moves of God.
Answer: To be blind to this is not to know the
enemy. II Corinthians. 11:12-15
"The god of this world has blinded the minds of
them which believe not ..." II Corinthians 4:3-4
What are C-rock fans ignorant of?
i Motive of money. If there's a dollar to be made,
you can bet someone will slap the label "Christian"
on it and open up a whole new market.
ii Backmasking and subliminal messages:
Why does Satan backmask? To gain MIND
CONTROL .

19

The alcohol, tobacco and retail industries spend

millions of dollars yearly on subliminal
programming. Shops use it to fight shoplifting.
"Enchantment is a form of spell casting primarily
involving mind control. Enchanters dispatch or
assign wicked spirits to objects and places for
whatever purpose the spell calls for.... Enchantment
controls the mind and is one of the most powerful
spells that can be cast on a person...." David Meyer
ex-occultist.

Jimi Hendrix revealed the conspiracy of subliminal

20 years ago.
"Atmospheres are going to come through music,
because music is in a spiritual thing of its own.....
You hypnotise people to where they go right back to
their natural state which is pure positive ... and
when you get people at that weakest point, you can
preach into the subconscious what we want to
say..... "
Question: Who is meant by "WE" in the above
quote?
Answer: Jimi Hendrix and his demons.
"People want release any kind of way nowadays.
The idea is to release in the proper form. Then
they'll feel like going into another world, a clearer
world. The music flows from the air. That's why I
connect with a spirit and when they come down off
this natural high, they see clearer, feel different
things ....."

20

Jimi Hendrix's method of preaching locks onto a

spirit of music which comes from the air.
"The prince of the power of air, that now works in
the children of disobedience."
Ephesians 2:2
Q. What is the power of air?
A. Radio and TV are two examples.
Go to a local shopping mall and you see children of
disobedience, rebellious, sullen, stubborn, angry
teens in black clothing. (Colour of darkness in
uniform)
Q. Why would Satan put backmasks in Christian
rock?
A. To erase the difference between Christ and Satan,
so people welcome Antichrist and willingly receive
mark 666. Richard Clapton's "Glory road" has four
letter words constantly repeated.
Q. What kind of spirit is loose in the youth at the
average Church? Are they the children of God, or
children of disobedience? C-rock is twice as
dangerous and evil as secular stuff because it
appears so "holy".
Check the evil backmasking in these songs:
Grim Reaper has an album called "Fear No Evil". A
backmask is found at the end of the song. "Final
Scream." When reversed it says "See you in Hell".
Godwin's book was published long before Michael
Jackson's album says, "Hail Satan, hey Lord you're

21

the main man." and "I've got Satan. He's not the
boogie man."
As shocking as this backmasking is, don't forget, the
tone of forward Devil praise contained in the rock
lyrics.

ROCKING FOR JESUS

Under this chapter heading, Jeff Godwin reports on
CHRISTIAN ROCK. He says "Christian rock" is a
contradiction in terms. How can Christ be unequally
yoked with the perverse paganism of Rock?"
He cites the group STRYPER as being the forerunner
of a new trend in Christian music - Heavy Metal
Christian Rock. The music on STRYPER's albums was
no different to W.A.S.P. or AC-DC. Only the words
were positive praise to the King, WHEN you could
hear them, that is.
Godwin maintains that Satan is the King of Rock,
and that he does not stop at the door of the Gospel
Record store. Rather, Satan is now mounting a
strategic offensive against Christians, utilising
willing, zealous believers to propagate the beat, the
style and the hidden messages amongst young
Christians

INVOKING THE DEVIL

How the satanic messages get onto the albums is a
mystery, but the testimony of Elaine, a former
Satanic High Priestess gives a good clue - at least as
far as the usual Rock albums are concerned. But
what about "Christian Rock" albums?

22

It is very possible that the Rock rhythm and style is

itself an invocation to demonic powers to
participate. Rocker, David Bowie says, Rock has
always been the devil's music."
If demons are invoked through Rock, then it is
understandable that they will sing in duo with the
artists, and as fans around the world listen and join
in the songs, they form a planetary choir of satanic
praise.
Is Christian rock more dangerous than secular rock
and roll? Yes! "It's more deadly because it's
disguised, and pulling blindfolds over Christian eyes
is something in which Satan delights."
Godwin includes a testimony of Elaine, who for 17
years was a servant of Satan. She became a high
priestess, and also attained a high position of
national leadership in the US. Elaine eventually
rejected Satan and was saved through faith in the
Lord Jesus.

DEMONS ON RECORDS
Part of her testimony, as relating to Rock, follows:
"Because of the high position I held for so many
years, I was involved in the planning of many of the
destructive influences Satan has brought into the
U.S. and other countries. Satan if REAL! Demons are
REAL! I can tell you from my own personal
experience, but you don't have to take my words for
this. Simply read God's Word.
"Like so may other things, the whole movement of
Rock music was carefully planned and carried out by
Satan and his servants from its very beginning. Rock
music didn't "just happen" it was a carefully
23

masterminded plan by none other than Satan

himself.
Examples of Lyrics:

Bare Grace Misery

Sweet boy, come in
I am the dark side of you
Die for my sins
Like the One once did
Cinnamon bed
For your unashamed appetite
A figurante
This dance will hurt like hell
Oh, bare grace misery
Just a child without a fairytale am I
Dark but so lovely
A Little Match Girl freezing in the snow
Love lying, enticing
(Bare grace misery)
Crowning the moment
(Bare grace misery)
This is what I am
Bare grace for the end of days
Romantic scent
Spoiled Lucrece lies warm for you
Theres no such priest
That can pray me to heaven
When done with me
Forget if you think I feel ashamed
A wild thing
Never felt sorry for anything
24

Love lying...

Wish I Had An Angel (Nightwish ;song video)

I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angelwings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
Deep into a dying day
I took a step outside an innocent heart
Prepare to hate me fall when I may
This night will hurt you like never before
Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder
I wish...
I`m going down so frail `n cruel
Drunken disguise changes all the rules
Old loves...
I Wish...
Greatest thrill
Not to kill
But to have the prize of the night
Hypocrite
Wannabe friend
13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing!

Last dance, first kiss

Your touch my bliss
Beauty always comes with dark thoughts
I wish...
