BYU Vocal Point - Nearer, My God, to Thee

 

In articulo mortis

Caelitus mihi vires

Nearer, my God, to Thee

Nearer to Thee

E'en though it be a cross

That raiseth me

There let the way appear (in articulo mortis, caelitus mihi vires)

Steps unto heav'n (Deo adjuvante non timendum in perpetuum)

All that Thou sendest me (dirige nos Domine ad augusta per angusta)

In mercy giv'n (sic itur ad astra, excelsior)

still all my song shall be

Nearer, my God, to Thee

Nearer, my God, to Thee (dirige nos Domine ad augusta per angusta)

Nearer to Thee (sic itur ad astra, excelsior)

Though like the wanderer (in articulo mortis, caelitus mihi vires)

The sun gone down (Deo adjuvante non timendum in perpetuum)

Darkness be over me (dirige nos Domine ad augusta per angusta)

My rest a stone (sic itur ad astra, excelsior)

angels to beckon me

Nearer, my God, to Thee

Nearer, my God, to Thee (dirige nos Domine ad augusta per angusta)

Nearer to Thee (sic itur ad astra, excelsior)

Ooh (excelsior, excelsior)

Or if on joyful wing (in articulo mortis, caelitus mihi vires)

Cleaving the sky (Deo adjuvante non timendum in perpetuum)

Sun, moon, and stars forgot (dirige nos Domine ad augusta per angusta)

Upward I (sic itur ad astra, excelsior)

Fly (dirige nos Domine ad augusta per angusta)

(Sic itur ad astra, excelsior)

Nemo - The Code


Whoa-oh-oh


Welcome to the show, let everybody know

I'm done playing the game, I'll break out of the chains

You better buckle up, I'll pour another cup

This is my bohème, so drink it up, my friend


This story is my truth


I, I went to Hell and back

To find myself on track

I broke the code, whoa-oh-oh

Like ammonites

I just gave it some time

Now I found paradise

I broke the code, whoa-oh-oh


Yeah

Let me tell you a tale about life

'Bout the good and the bad, better hold on tight

Who decides what's wrong, what's right?

Everything is balance, everything's light

I got so much on my mind, and I been awake all night

I'm so pumped, I'm so psyched

It's bigger than me, I'm getting so hyped, like


let me taste the lows and highs

(Oh) let me feel that burning fright

(Oh) this story is my truth


I, I went to Hell and back

To find myself on track

I broke the code, whoa-oh-oh

Like ammonites

I just gave it some time

Now I found paradise

I broke the code, whoa-oh-oh


Somewhere between the O's and ones

That's where I found my kingdom come

My heart beats like a-

Somewhere between the O's and ones

That's where I found my kingdom come

My heart beats like a drum


I, I went to Hell and back

To find myself on track

I broke the code, whoa-oh-oh

Like ammonites

I just gave it some time

Now I found paradise

I broke the code, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh

Amber Run - Fickle Game

 

I want to be older

I want to be stronger

I don't want to fall at the start

I want to be quicker

I want to get closer

Don't want to feel worlds apart


'Cause I'm fast enough to get in trouble

And not fast enough to get away

And I'm old enough to know I'll end up dying

And not young enough to forget again


It's all a fickle game

Life's a fickle game we play


I want to be older

I want to be stronger

I don't want to fall at the start

I want to be quicker

I want to get closer

I don't want to be worlds apart


'Cause I'm fast enough to get in trouble

And not fast enough to get away

And I'm old enough to know I'll end up dying

And not young enough to forget again


It's all a fickle game

Life's a fickle game we play


It's a fickle game


'Cause I'm fast enough to get in trouble

And not fast enough to get away

I'm old enough to know I'll end up dying

And not young enough to forget again


I'm sick of fickle games

Life's a fickle game we play

The Blue Nile - From A Late Night Train

 

From a late night train

Reflected in the water

When all the rainy pavement

Lead to you

It's over now

I know it's over

But I can't let go

The cigarettes, the magazines

All stacked up in the rain

There doesn't seem to be a funny side

It's over now

I know it's over

But I can't let go

From a late night train

The little towns go rolling by

And people in the station

Going home

It's over now

I know it's over

But I love you so

Indila - Dernière Danse

 

Oh ma douce souffrance

Pourquoi s'acharner tu recommence

Je ne suis qu'un être sans importance

Sans lui je suis un peu paro

Je déambule seule dans le métro

Une dernière danse

Pour oublier ma peine immense

Je veux m'enfuir que tout recommence

Oh ma douce souffrance

Je remue le ciel le jour, la nuit

Je danse avec le vent la pluie

Un peu d'amour un brin de miel

Et je danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, danse

Et dans le bruit, je cours et j'ai peur

Est-ce mon tour?

Vient la douleur

Dans tout Paris, je m'abandonne

Et je m'envole, vole, vole, vole, vole, vole

Que d'espérance

Sur ce chemin en ton absence

J'ai beau trimer, sans toi ma vie n'est qu'un décor qui brille

Vide de sens

Je remue le ciel le jour, la nuit

Je danse avec le vent la pluie

Un peu d'amour un brin de miel

Et je danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, danse

Et dans le bruit, je cours et j'ai peur

Est-ce mon tour?

Vient la douleur

Dans tout Paris, je m'abandonne

Et je m'envole, vole, vole, vole, vole, vole

Dans cette douce souffrance

Dont j'ai payé toutes les offenses

Écoute comme mon cœur est immense

Je suis une enfant du monde

Je remue le ciel le jour, la nuit

Je danse avec le vent la pluie

Un peu d'amour un brin de miel

Et je danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, danse

Et dans le bruit, je cours et j'ai peur

Est-ce mon tour?

Vient la douleur

Dans tout Paris, je m'abandonne

Et je m'envole, vole, vole, vole, vole, vole, vole

Alan Parsons Project - Old and Wise

 

As far as my eyes can see

There are shadows approaching me

And to those I left behind, I wanted you to know

You've always shared my deepest thoughts

You follow where I go


And oh, when I'm old and wise

Bitter words mean little to me

Autumn winds will blow right through me

And someday in the mist of time

When they asked me if I knew you

I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine

And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes

Oh, when I'm old and wise


As far as my eyes can see

There are shadows surrounding me

And to those I leave behind, I want you all to know

You've always shared my darkest hours

I'll miss you when I go


And oh, when I'm old and wise

Heavy words that tossed and blew me

Like autumn winds will blow right through me

And someday in the mist of time

When they ask you if you knew me

Remember that you were a friend of mine

As the final curtain falls before my eyes

Oh, when I'm old and wise


As far as my eyes can see...

Tool - Parabola

 

We barely remember

Who or what came before this precious moment

We are choosing to be here, right now

Hold on, stay inside


This holy reality

This holy experience

Choosing to be here in


This body, this body holding me

Be my reminder here that I am not alone in

This body, this body holding me

Feeling eternal, all this pain is an illusion


Alive


In this holy reality

In this holy experience

Choosing to be here in


This body, this body holding me

Be my reminder here that I am not alone in

This body, this body holding me

Feeling eternal, all this pain is an illusion


Twirling 'round with this familiar parable

Spinning, weaving 'round each new experience

Recognize this as a holy gift and

Celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing

A chance to be alive and breathing


This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality

Embrace this moment, remember

We are eternal, all this pain is an illusion

Gojira - Stranded

 

A growing sickness in the heart

Defective, lack of control

The cure is somewhere in the silence

But I'm crushed by the noise inside


Don't lock the door on me

You'd kill me, face down, dead

Another part of me falls for you


Another day in the dark

No, no

Stranded in the night

Stranded in the cold


Don't lock the door on me

You'd kill me, face down, dead

Another part of you gone to waste

Please hear me out

You kill me, face down, dead

Another day in the dark


Don't lock the door on me

You'd kill me, face down, dead

Another part of you gone to waste

Please hear me out

You kill me, face down, dead

Another day in the dark


Leave the moment alone

Leave the moment alone

Leave the moment alone

Leave the moment alone

Roger Mas - Les tres germanes

 

Me les vaig trobar tan lluny de casa

Estan com una cabra i tot el poble ho sap

Eren allà, en un cul de rasa

Angelets que et fan perdre el cap


La petita amb cara de bitxo

La mitjana amb una cua de cavall

La més gran sense sabates

Angelets que et fan perdre el cap


Sol, enmig del no re i la menor ve cap a mi

Sol, enmig del no re i la menor diu idò

Hi ha pas sol i vent fa en aquest camí


Qui se'n pot saber estar?

Qui se'n podria mai oblidar?

Tot té el seu preu, tot té

Tot et fa mal, tot fa mal, mal, mal

Parov Stelar feat. Marvin Gaye - Keep On Dancing


I used to go out to parties, and stand around

'Cause I was too nervous, to really get down

But my body yearned to be free

I got up on the floor, somebody could choose me


Keep on dancing, dancing, dancing

Keep on dancing, dancing, dancing


Oh yeah, shake it down

Oh yeah, shake it down

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Shake it down


No more standing there beside the walls

Finally got myself together, baby, and I'm having a ball

Long as you're grooving, there's always a chance

I got up on the floor, somebody could choose me


Keep on dancing, dancing, dancing

Keep on dancing, dancing, dancing


Got to give it up

Give it up

Yeah


Keep on dancing, dancing, dancing

Yeah


Oh yeah, shake it down

Oh yeah, shake it down

Oh yeah,

Oh yeah


Tumble

Tumble


Keep on dancing

Einstürzende Neubauten - Wie Lange Noch

 

Alles schon geschrieben

Alles schon gesagt

Das Innere der Zwiebel

Längsschnitt – ausgelesen

Bis auf weiteres vertagt


Der Müll wird ausgewurzelt

Ein Solitär wird hergerollt

Alles schon besungen

Alles schon passiert


Wie lange noch?

Wie lange noch?

Wie lange noch?

Wie lange noch?

Wie wie wie wie lange noch?


Der Schnitt durchs Ladеkabel

Jetzt gilt:

Die Brust wird ausgеfegt

Wie lange noch?

Wie lange noch?

Wie lange noch?

Wie lange noch?


Near roses: sing

Near roses: sing


Alles schon gesungen

Alles schon gedacht

Die Tricks sind ausgegangen

Gedruckt mit Blut auf Flügeln

Und unters Volk gebracht


In diesem Sinne:

Endmoräne

Wie lange noch?

Wie lange noch?

Wie lange noch?

Wie lange noch?

Wie lange noch?

Wie lange noch?

Wie lange noch?

Wie lange noch?

Wie lange noch?

Wie lange noch?

Wie wie wie wie lange noch?

Hozier - Take Me To Church

 

My lover's got humor

She's the giggle at a funeral

Knows everybody's disapproval

I should've worshiped her sooner

If the Heavens ever did speak

She's the last true mouthpiece

Every Sunday's getting more bleak

A fresh poison each week

"We were born sick", you heard them say it

My church offers no absolutes

She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom"

The only Heaven I'll be sent to

Is when I'm alone with you

I was born sick, but I love it

Command me to be well

A-, Amen, Amen, Amen


Take me to church

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife

Offer me that deathless death

Good God, let me give you my life


Take me to church

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife

Offer me that deathless death

Good God, let me give you my life

If I'm a pagan of the good times

My lover's the sunlight

To keep the Goddess on my side

She demands a sacrifice

Drain the whole sea

Get something shiny

Something meaty for the main course

That's a fine looking high horse

What you got in the stable?

We've a lot of starving faithful

That looks tasty

That looks plenty

This is hungry work


Take me to church

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife

Offer me my deathless death

Good God, let me give you my life


Take me to church

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife

Offer me my deathless death

Good God, let me give you my life

No masters or kings when the ritual begins

There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin

In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene

Only then I am human

Only then I am clean

Oh, oh, Amen, Amen, Amen


Take me to church

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife

Offer me that deathless death

Good God, let me give you my life

Take me to church

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife

Offer me that deathless death

Good God, let me give you my life

Radiohead - The Daily Mail


The Moonies are up on a mountain
The lunatics have taken
Over the asylum
Waiting on the rapture

Singing: “We’re here
To keep your prices down
Feed you to the hounds
To the ‘Daily Mail’
Together, together.”

You made a pig’s ear
You made a mistake
Paid off security
and got through the gate
You got away with it
But we lie in wait

Hey, hey, hey…

Where’s the truth?
What’s the use
In hang around?
Lost and found

With your head
In the sand
Fat chance
No plan

No regard
For human life
Keep time
You’ve no right

Fastened, loose
You win and lose
Jump the queue
Go back again

President
For life
Love of all
The flies in the sky

The beasts of the Earth
The fish in the sea
Have lost command

Huh, huh, huh…
