HEAVEN SENT // HELL BENT
Hey, so, being extra I decided to do a two part playlist for SAMAEL. First one is metal flavor, second one is southern gothic. Liner notes and links below the cut. :V
(Art credit for the covers to Cam!)
HEAVEN SENT / (side a)
BISHOP PIERRE CAUCHON: The church opens her arms to you, but if you do not sign, the Church will turn her back to you, and you will stand alone.
JOAN OF ARC: Alone? Yes, alone....with God!
--The Passion of Joan of Arc
Leo Hawke, the human bound to the divine.
ULTRAnumb (Blue Stahli)
Violated, so degraded
The show has just begun
Dominated by all you hated
This will make you ultranumb
Drag Me to Hell (Lord of the Lost)
The more I reach out for Heaven
The more you drag me to Hell
Better the Devil (Tim Skold)
Tear my soul apart
Drown me in your sea of darkness
I’ll be your lucky star
If you promise that you’ll never let me go
Better the Devil you know
Losing My Religion (Lacuna Coil)
Oh, life
It’s bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I would go to
The distance in your eyes
Devil in My Life (Grace Jones)
Devil in my life, treading on thin ice
With your words so wise, always in disguise
Devil in my life, I’ve seen it in your lies
Slowly mesmerized, as I fall you rise
Operation: Mindcrime (Queensryche)
It just takes a minute
And you’ll feel no pain
Gotta make something of your life, boy
Gimme one more vein
You’ve come to see the doctor ‘cause he’ll show you the cure
I’m gonna take away your questions, yeah
I’m gonna make you sure
Wings of Feather and Wax (Killer be Killed)
I never stopped to notice
The fire in your hand
A burning so consuming
But now I understand
And now I’ve fallen like Icarus to land
Too late to kill the flames I fanned
Ambassador (Evergrey)
I am light to cast away shadow
Spirit, Holy Ghost, and even Jesus
God walking Earth
Ambassador
Just Like You (Celldweller)
It’s the dark of night and I’m at the end of my line
Alone in my head and waiting for something divine
To answer me
Drowning in silence, the internal violence
I pray to make it through
Flight on an Angel’s Wing (Deadsoul Tribe)
Come with me, my friend
Come with me and clear your mind
So tired of the lies they laid upon you
Open your eyes and you’ll see
I’m going to take a flight on an angel’s wing
Far and away
She’ll carry me home
Small Town Boy (Paradise Lost)
Mother will never understand why you had to leave
But the answers you seek will never be found at home
No, the love that you want will never be found at home
Run away, turn away
A Demon’s Fate (Within Temptation)
Angels have faith
I don’t want to be a part of his sin
I don’t want to get lost in his world
I won’t play this game
Gates of Hell (Timeless Miracle)
Far beyond the gates of Hell
Tricked the Devil, broke his spell
Traveling ‘round the River Styx to freedom
A Grave Mistake (Ice Nine Kills)
But I heard that you reap what you sow
So here’s to believing in ghosts
And when you see my face you’ll know
You can’t save yourself or save your soul
When you meet the man whose life you stole
On weathered wings and broken bones
A fight for the fallen, flies the Crow
Lost and Damned (Kamelot)
Don’t ask why
Don’t be sad
Sometimes we all must alter paths we’ve planned
Only try to understand
I want to save you from the lost and damned
House of Eternal Hunt (Avatar)
It’s my time
My darkness, my might divine
It has been foretold this land
Will live and die by my hand
Child to the moon and the storm
Silent shadow growing
I’m reborn
Darkling (Sirenia)
You’ve got to chase your demons on the run
Put out their fires, their dark desires
The exorcism has begun
Slaying all, leaving none
/ HELL BENT (side b)
If there is a hell, it’s what Christians have made of this world, in Christ’s name.
-- Ammon Hennacy, The Book of Ammon
Lyon Hawke, the angel who fell to earth.
Angels Look Like Hell (Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band)
The Devil don’t live down in Hell
The Devil’s right here, doing very well
And it’s hard to tell
It’s hard to tell
When devils look like angels
And angels look like hell
Old Devils (William Elliot Whitmore)
From behind these bars the view don’t change
Desperation, death and despair
From what I hear of the outside world
It ain’t so different out there
And they tell me there’s a war without no end
The old devils are at it again
In the Branches (The Builders and the Butchers)
They left angels singing in the branch of a burning tree
Said it was all a game
His daddy went and twisted in the bed that he made
And you’ll end up the same
He went down, down, down
Down where the fire is born
Birds with Broken Wings (Ben Caplan)
I climbed up a mountain just to kill my son
An angel tried to stop me with a ram
Well, he said “Your mind’s infected”
But I said “You lack perspective!”
You gotta walk the bottom if you wanna see the top
Sins of My Father (Tom Waits)
Does the light of God blind you
Or lead the way home for you
I’m gonna take the sins of my father
I’m gonna take the sins of my brother
I’m gonna take the sins of my mother
Down to the pond
Laplace’s Angel (Will Wood and the Tapeworms)
You could break an angel’s fall
And ignore the devil’s call
Still forsaken shoulders fall silent now
It’s no more than cultural
You and me, inseparable
It’s a small Hell, after all
Boy, Decide! (Murder by Death)
There’s a son
He is born with a silver spoon in his mouth
Go on, boy, admit
There’s gotta be something you love
Enough to protect
Caves (Brown Bird)
The corners of the heart are caves
That echo with the bloodcurling cries of babes
We’ve sheltered in a shadow of a doubt
Where faith is abated by design
Dream of Sleep (The Peculiar Pretzelmen)
When I dream
I dream of sleep
And when I sleep
I never dream
I’m bending and I’m breaking
Under weight of the secrets that I keep
Funeral March (Strawfoot)
Good riddance to you
You’re in the clear
You watched me dying
Never shed no tear
I used to be a man ‘til lines were drawn
Oh, I’m marching on
Old Pine Box (Those Crooked Bastards)
Brother, I have never not been lost
The apples on the tree have turned to rot
And all around I feel the Lord’s eyes watching
If you think I’m gonna whimper
Well, I’m not
Throw me in an old pine box
And nail that lid on top
Some of Adam’s Blues (Quaker City Nighthawks)
My name was written
In the foundation
Despite our faithlessness
You bring salvation
And now I know it’s true
God’s Gonna Cut You Down (Johnny Cash)
You may throw your rock
Hide your hand
Workin’ in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What is done in the dark will be brought to the light
Strawfoot (Sixteen Horsepower)
I am not alone
And looks can be deceiving
When you get down to it
You’re talking when you should be leaving
Why is it you don’t want what he’s giving?
It ain’t no sin, son, to be forgiven
Dynamite (Devil Makes Three)
I know that it’s coming
I ain’t worried now
‘Cause we got enough here to go around
And every single person gonna get them some
Hell’s Coming With Me (Poor Man’s Poison)
I am the righteous hand of God
And I am the Devil that you forgot
And I told you one day you will see
I’ll be back, I guarantee
And that Hell’s coming with me
I’m Always Walking as Somebody Else (American Murder Song)
Traveler I am
Knock-two-three-four
God is in your country
The Devil’s at your door
