[game] Music for war

[DuoMaxwell]

Here are the rules, post as many tracks as you like, you must provide the song in question hosted via public video site such as Youtube or similar site, no links through an advertising middleman page.

The songs must be about battle or something that reminds you of a battle in some place in regnum or the combat ability of your realm and such things. You must provide accurate lyrics as well.

Formatting should be:

Band Name - "Song Title" Link to track
double return
Lyrics in a quote box

Also, if you can give some background on the band, the music doesn't have to have lyrics or have english vocals, but if you can find the lyrics in english, you can post it in english and in native tung if you like.

[DuoMaxwell]

I'll kick things off myself here with 4 tracks meant to inspire you for battle by 2 of my favorite bands, Iced Earth is a power metal meets thrash band thats been around since the 80's and has only gotten better over the years weather it's Matt Barlow or Tim "The Ripper" Owens doing the vocals they're still amazing.

Amon Amarth on the other hand is a Viking metal band with a melodic death metal sound, the 2 tracks I picked from them are from the same album and are in order as tracks 6 and 7 respectively.

I picked these because it seems too many of you are kids listening to sissified music, then you come on here complaining Ignis this, Alsius that, Syrtis hit me with a wiffle ball bat when it comes to war, get over it, play some good, inspirational battle music and get back to war.

Iced Earth - "Ten Thousand Strong" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkejVqF-ZKg

A gathering summoned by the Elder
A consequence of what's imminent
A prophecy dark and foreboding
Forces the to face human intent

The chosen seek refuge in the mountains
Reluctantly the loved ones recognize
The sacrifice they must adhere to
The only hope for future Setian life
Like a martyr sacrificed

Await the days of Clouding
Earth Mother's sharing in our pain
Erase the human memory
They know not of where they came
And though our hearts are broken
We have to wipe the tears away
In vain they did not suffer
Ten thousand strong will seize the day

What we possess, mankind is after
Direct descendants of the Architect
Children of God, seeds of creation
Stakes so high we must never relent

We lie in wait 'til the human minds are clouded
Initiation of the Master Plan
Assimilate, build new life among them
Centuries will pass, patience will win
We are the bane of man

Await the days of Clouding
Earth Mother's sharing in our pain
Erase the human memory
They know not of where they came
And though our hearts are broken
We have to wipe the tears away
In vain they did not suffer
Ten thousand strong will seize the day

Iced Earth - "Greenface" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JO9AEPgVMXg

A warrior down to the depths of my soul
I terrorize evil thats out of control.
On land, in the air, at sea
On danger I feed
My warpaint, the last things my enemies see
Their teeth and their ears are trophies for me
On land, in the air, at sea
I'll be where the metal meets the meat
GREENFACE
GREENFACE
Lagoons deep in the jungles are home for me
The desert nor mountains, they can't hide from me
On land, in the air, at sea
I'll be where the metal meets the meat
GREENFACE
GREENFACE

Amon Amarth - "With Oden On Our Side" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYQ-tEMSPoM

Finally the storm arrives
Out wait is at an end
Under dark winter skies
We make our final stand

For each of us, there are four of them
It matters not to us
We won't leave this field in shame
We are here to crush!

[x2]
Futile to resist
You know why we have come
Futile to resist
The battle is already won!

Our hearts are full of pounding rage
Our mind hard as steel
Right before the dying day
We will have you kneel

The snow turns red from all the blood
Severed limbs and heads
A sacrifice to one-eyed God
He will claim the dead!

Under the winter skies
We stand glorious!
And with Oden on our side
We are victorious!

No retreat, no remorse
Victory will be ours
Blood on steel, sacrifice
Victory will be ours

Under the winter skies
We stand glorious!
And with Oden on our side
We are victorious!

[x2]
Futile to resist
You know why we have come
Futile to resist
The battle is already won!

Amon Amarth - "Cry O The Black Birds" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rq1leK1Ktl8

Raise your swords up high!
See the black birds fly!
Let them hear your rage!
Show no fear!
Attack!

Charge your horses across the fields
Together we ride into destiny
Have no fear of death, when it's your time
Oden will bring us home when we die!

The ground trembles under us
As we make our thunder charge
The pounding hooves strikes blinding fear
Into their heart

Our helmets shine in the sun
As we near their wall of shields
Some of them turn and run
When they hear our frenzied screams

Draw your swords to strike
Hear the Black Birds cry!
Let them feel your hate!
Show no fear!

(Attack! Attack! Attack! Attack!)

Charge your horses across the fields
Together we ride into destiny
Have no fear of death, when it's your time
Oden will bring us home when we die!

The enemies are in disarray
Ride them down as they run
Send them to their violent graves,
Don't spare anyone
Dead and wounded lie all around,
See the pain in their eyes
Over the field an eerie sound,
As we hear the ravens' cry

Well they should start, the state of "music" these days is appalling, kids these days don' even have any variety, to them it's whatever horrid crap is spoon fed to them on a top 40's station. I personally listen to everything from DnB/Techno experimental stuff like Jackson and His Computer Band to the heaviest goregrind you can find like Dead Infection, at both ends you'd be hard pressed to find it anywhere.

This can help them out by giving them some exposure to at least some track that don't suck hard, not that theres not metal that doesn't suck donkey dangleys. I.E. Shining(emo death metal) Cradle Of Filth(please make the high pitch screech stop, my ear drums are bleeding and you've killed my dog)

I was more talking about the Initial post which kinda sets it up to be metal music only where some might listen to dnb/techo (like you mentioned) I'm not much into electronic music myself but some is ^^ sorry for the OT

[-Edge-]

Uffff I don't like these kinds of threads because its obvious everyone thinks their music is the best, where it dosen't even have taste to another person.

Well they should start, the state of "music" these days is appalling, kids these days don' even have any variety, to them it's whatever horrid crap is spoon fed to them on a top 40's station.
I belive its more of stupid idols they look up to like drugbeat rappers that dropped out of highschool singing a song about having sex with someones mom while making excessive use of the word yo.

Whats so appalling about it? Do you think people will be listening to the same thing 20 years from now? Nah, by then we'll have flying cars and aliens will be singing giberish. And that generation will laugh at ours.

[Wira]

I like to Listen bands like Judas Priest, Megadeth, Halford, Evergrey, or Metallica in war... such a good moment :)

[Flightcap]

I would like to see some kind of big cache of everybody's favorite music. Looks like this could be it. :)

Here's some of my favorites for wars. Some of them sing about the virtues I see in my realmmates at their best, which make them true soldiers. (courage, leadership, skill, sacrifice, etc.) Others are just plain good and get the blood going for a tough fight. :p (Sorry they're all in Runescape - I have a thing for Runescape music videos)

The Chosen Ones - Dream Evil

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb818lP9oZU&feature=related


We are the chosen ones, we sacrifice our blood
We kill for honour
We are the holy ones our armours stained with blood

We killed the dragon
In glory we return, our destination's end
We slayed the dargon!
No more living in fear it's time to raise our king.
We made it happen we're the chosen ones!

Riding through thunder and lighting once again
We slayed the beast we brought an end
Now we have left the kingdom of the damned
Heroes of the day, legends forever!

It seems to me like a journey without end
So many years, too many battles
We've finally arrived, now we're standing at the gates
Heroes of the day, legends forever



Frontline - Pillar

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fB3WfKS7P8s

It's not like I'm walking alone into the valley of the shadow of death
Stand beside one another, 'cause it ain't over yet
I'd be willing to bet that if we don't back down
You and I will be the ones that are holding the Crown in the end
When it's over, we can say, "Well done"
But not yet, 'cause it's only begun
So, pick up, and follow me, we're the only ones
To fight this thing, until we've won
We drive on and don't look back
It doesn't mean we can't learn from our past
All the things that we mighta done wrong
We could've been doing this all along

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

And we'll be carrying on, until the day it doesn't matter anymore
Step aside, you forgot what this is for
We fight to live, we live to fight
And tonight, you'll hear my battle cry
We live our lives on the frontlines
We're not afraid of the fast times
These days have opened up my eyes
And now, I see where the threat lies

We've got to lead the way


No Giving Up - Crossfade (This may seem like a weird choice, but I really like it especially when we've just lost the Syrtis gate again at 12:30 AM.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5Lu1u6arlM

So you found out today your life's not the same
Not quite as perfect as it was yesterday but
When you were just getting in the groove
Now you're faced with something new
And I know it hurts and I know you feel torn
But you never gave up this easily before
So why do you choose today to give it all away

Well it's not so bad y'all
Together we all fall
Just as long we get up we'll stand tall
We shouldn't waste another day
Thinking 'bout the things that we forgot to say

I'm hittin' back y'all
Kickin' these four walls
Just as hard as I can til I can't crawl
I won't waste another day
With all these silly things
Swimmin' in my brain

[Chorus]
There's no giving up now
Do you really want to give this all away
Can't you ever see things in a different way
Somedays
No giving up now
Such a beautiful thing to throw away
You should think things through
Over and over again
All over again

So your scars fade away
You soaked up the pain
A better person 'cause you lived through those days
And now you know what it's like to prove
You can overcome anything that gets to you
Well it's alright
We're sayin' our goodbyes
To the past and everything that ain't right
We won't waste another day
With all these silly things in our way

[Chorus]

I know we have given
All that we can give
When there's nothing to lean on
Well, I remember this
All we make of this lifetime
Is always here within
And remembering that's why
We should never give in

[Chorus]

There's no giving up now


Bring Me To Life - Evanscence (I like this song a lot because to me it embodies the role of the conjurer - bringing their allies back to life)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbBCQULj574&feature=channel_page


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)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
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)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become

Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
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

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become

(Bring me to life)
I’ve been living a lie, there’s nothing inside
(Bring me to life)

Rick Astley- Never Gonna Give You Up

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0

We’re no strangers to love,
You know the rules and so do I.
A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of,
You wouldnt get this from any other guy.

I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling,
Gotta make you understand…

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you.
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching
But you’re too shy to say it.
Inside we both know what’s been going on,
We know the game and we’re gonna play it.

Annnnnd if you ask me how I’m feeling,
Don’t tell me you’re too blind to see…

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you.
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you.
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

Give you up. give you up.
Give you up, give you up.
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, give you up.
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, give you up.

We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching
But you’re too shy to say it.
Inside we both know what’s been going on,
We know the game and we’re gonna play it.

I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling,
Gotta make you understand…

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you.
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you.
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you.
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

Only underdeveloped tastes think that the music of their generation is best. Most people with juvenile tastes think that whatever they play on MTV is what they have to listen to.

Heres some non metal stuff from my collection:

MF Doom - "One Beer" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9UBYbaukzc

The Raveonettes - "Black/White" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYPHkHdkhNg

M86 - "Moonchild" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHwftkkLy34

The Streets - "Irony Of It All" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aoSls1O-Uk

Th Damned - "Melody Lee" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYj_XvFJxx8

Against Me - "You Look Like I Need A Drink" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZcWJ5f4p0Y

Jackson And His Computer Band - "Arpeggio" only version I could find, to lazy to post the full version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6Nc0QyKe4k

Yesterday's New Quintet - "Solar Waves" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6s4PnaaaxpU


T.Raumschmiere featuring Miss Kitten - "The Game Is Not Over" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gafc0kE3-V0

I haven't even started to dig yet, its just whats on my desk right now.


I'm clearly not saying any style of music is better then anyone elses, but pick your artists, Lil' Wayne isn't one, nor is Bruce Springsteen if thats the kind of crap you're into. Theres plenty of other bands and artists just begging for a chance in the national stage that are far more deserving of the attention due to actually having talent.

Guess I'm off-topic sorta, but:

Give a look to the 61 sometime. www.thesixtyone.com there's a lot of up and coming indie artists there, and some of it is not half bad at all. Some well known groups have there stuff listed as well. Jonathon Coulton anyone? Skullcranes?

I've got one of my own I'm working on listed, but my vocals suck. I need to work on them, but here's what I've got so far anyway:

http://www.thesixtyone.com/#/JBot/song/Children+of+Pripyat+RC1/38170/

---------------------------------------
Ghosting through bleak landscapes
Nothing but empty buildings
Roads cracked split and torn
Nothing but debris around me.

Passing by empty homes.
Passing through empty schools.
Not one child playing here.
Not one soul living here.

[Chorus:
[City's dead but not forgotten.
[Nothing moving cept the wind.
[Always ever reaching skyward
[Children swaying silently
[
[City's dead but not forgotten.
[Nothing moving cept the wind.
[climbing up through the rubble.
[Children dancing in the dust.

Stalking like a ghostly shadow
Down these broken streets,
Kicking up dust as I go
The eerie silence deafening.

Walking through this broken city.
Eyes always gazing upward.
Seeing arms reaching skyward
Ever grasping climbing.

[Chorus:

Wind blowing up the dust
Leaves shaking next to rust
The hands of children waving
Silently as I pass by.

Ghosting through these shattered ruins
While all about me singing
Voices of children making
Songs silent and deafening.

People visit this place no more
Vacant empty decrepit torn.
Those who lived those who died
Lives passed but not forgotten.

Shades of green all about me.
now living midst the ruin.
Growing up next to decay
Climbing up through the rubble.

Rising up from dirt and clay
The city has a new life now.
Nothing like you or me,
New children live here now.

[Chorus:

-------------------------------------


The song itself isn't quite done yet, but it's getting close. I plan on getting an acoustic version going, and instrumental versions for each for those who find my singing a bit grating on the nerves. Hey, I'm a keyboardist, not a vocalist hehe. I try though.
