This Silence is Mine

Song by Chihiro Onitsuka & Keiichi Okabe
Lyrics & vocals by Chihiro Onitsuka

Musique : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGbja6xxM2w

Fan Trad. :

The one who can look upon me:
The abyss of the far distant past
The one who can look upon me:
Those horrible, horribly frozen eyes
The one who can look upon me:
The dream of a gently woken sheep
The one who can look upon me, upon me…

Between the cradle of noise
No one can reach this skin
Between the cradle of noise, blood-red scars

This tatoo
This, this preview
This heartbeat
Oh, Midst the silence

Where is my gear ?
Where, where are my stairs ?
Where's this heartbeat ?
This silence is mine
This is silence

When I pray:
It is when I carry a fever
When I scream:
It is, it is when my voice is stolen

When I live:
It is much like a distorted dance

This tatoo
This, this screw
This Hearbeat
Oh, the light and justice

Where is my gear ?
Where, where is my choir ?
Where is, where is my heartbeat ?
This silence, this is silence

I will throw away my sadness
And lose my heart
Even violate my thoughts
If I can move forward, Ahh, then fine
My body whispers, whispers, whispers, whispers, whispers
Your symphony is never-ending

This tatoo
This, this preview
This heartbeat
Oh, Midst the silence

Where is my gear ?
Where, where are my stairs ?
Where is, where is, heart, heartbeat ?
This silence is mine
This is silence
--
This silence is mine

Dragonborn

Lyrics by Adam Adamowicz & Jeremy Soule
Song by Jeremy Soule

Musique : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_R8N70nqBE

Trad. :

Dragonborn, Dragonborn, by his honor is sworn,
To keep evil forever at bay!
And the fiercest foes rout when they hear triumph's shout,
Dragonborn, for your blessing we pray!

Hearken now, sons of snow, to an age, long ago,
And the tale, boldly told, of the one!
Who was kin to both wyrm, and the races of man,
With a power to rival the sun!

And the voice, he did wield, on that glorious field,
When great Tamriel shuddered with war!
Mighty Thu'um, like a blade, cut through enemies all,
As the Dragonborn issued his roar!

Dragonborn, Dragonborn, by his honor is sworn,
To keep evil forever at bay!
And the fiercest foes rout when they hear triumph's shout,
Dragonborn, for your blessing we pray!

And the Scrolls have foretold, of black wings in the cold,
That when brothers wage war come unfurled!
Alduin, Bane of Kings, ancient shadow unbound,
With a hunger to swallow the world!

But a day, shall arise, when the dark dragon's lies,
Will be silenced forever and then!
Fair Skyrim will be free from foul Alduin's maw!
Dragonborn be the savior of men!

Dragonborn, Dragonborn, by his honor is sworn,
To keep evil forever at bay!
And the fiercest foes rout when they hear triumph's shout,
Dragonborn, for your blessing we pray!

Kaze No Ne

Lyrics & song by Kumi Tanioka
Vocals by Yae

Musique : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b6mkTELUGU

Trad. :

The sparkling starry sky is just like a dream
Speaking to me as I drift along

The loud sound of the wind is the sound of a door opening
The sound of a new story opening up right now

The birds bathe in sunlight as they fly
Come on, the time to start our journey has come
Let's go without losing our way

The sky's morning glow says everything is fine

The wavering inside my heart
Hidden where I can't see
I carry my overflowing feelings

The sky's morning glow says not to look back

Beyond the endless mountains
Hidden where I can't see
I'll walk to that faint light

Beyond the endless sky
Hidden where I can't see
Is the map of the future I search for

Eclipse of Time

Lyrics by Hironobu Sakaguchi
Song by Nobuo Uematsu
Vocals by Sheena Easton

Musique : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vluCxpkUPas

Sun and moon
Day and night
Darkness and the light

Comes and goes
All so fast
Nothing ever lasts

It seems I’m living in a place
Forgotten now by time’s pace
So I’m left alone

You and i
Hand in hand
We have just begun

Somehow I’m
Holding back
What I feel for you

I’m always living with my fears
The time is swiftly drawing near
I’ll be left alone

Our moments pass on by
Then people pass on by
And love keeps drifting away
It all keeps drifting away

One day I’ll be there
Someday I’ll be there
End of this long and lonely road.
There is a place where tenderness calls the Solitude a friend

No one is with me
Nothing is with me
All that remains are memories
There is a place where coldness and warmth are Woven into one

Do I love?
Do I hate?
So I hesitate

When I know
When I feel
I may be too late

It seems I’m living in a world
Where joy and sadness have no shape
They are both the same

The sky is passing by
The clouds are passing by
The rain keeps falling on me
It all keeps falling away

One day I’ll find it
Someday I’ll find it
Within the vast and endless world
There is a place where tenderness calls the Solitude a friend

No one is with me
Nothing is with me
All that remains are memories
There is a place where coldness and warmth are Woven into one

Our moments pass on by
Then people pass on by
And love keeps drifting away
It all keeps drifting away

One day I’ll be there
Someday I’ll be there
End of this long and lonely road.
There is a place where tenderness calls the Solitude a friend

No one is with me
Nothing is with me
All that remains are memories
There is a place where coldness and warmth are Woven into one

The best is yet to come

Lyrics & song by Rika Muranaka
Vocals by Aoife Ní Fhearraigh

Musique : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWGVRxJOKw8

Do you remember love
The heartbreak of love?
Nothing now but music of the night
I am forever in love

A lover with a fault
A lover with a fault

Allow it and you will have it
Allow it and love will be

Do you remember the time
When you were satisfied?
Do you remember the time
When you were laughing?

The world is wonderful
if you believe in it
Turn your face towards life
and constant hapiness in our midst

What happened to those days?
What happened to those nights?
Do you remember the time
When you were sorrowful?

Do you remember the time
Forever crying tears?
Was it me or you at fault?

Feeling used and lost
Why the fighting and
crying of tears?

There is beauty in the world
If you seek it out
There is joyous wonder in the world
Let's seek it out

Snake Eater

Lyrics & song by Norihiko Hibino
Vocals by Cynthia Harrell

Musique : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CbFAZ2ztlE

What a thrill
With darkness and silence through the night
What a thrill
I'm searching and i'll melt into you
What a fear in my heart
But you're so supreme!

I give my life
Not for honor, but for you (snake eater)
In my time there'll be no one else
Crime, it's the way i fly to you (snake eater)
I'm still in a dream, snake eater

Someday you go through the rain,
Someday you feed on a tree frog,
It's ordeal, the trial to survive
For the day we see new light

I give my life
Not for honor, but for you (snake eater)
In my time there'll be no one else
Crime, it's the way i fly to you (snake eater)
I'm still in a dream, snake eater

Ashes of Dreams -Nuadhaich- (Version Gaélique)

Lyrics & song by Keiichi Okabe & Emiko Rebecca Evans
Vocals by Emiko Rebecca Evans

Musique : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANJDsjZBrTg

Trad. :

Once there were trees full of birds.
Meadowlands vibrant with flowers.
Carefree the songs our children once sang
Gilding our minutes and hours
Clouds came and covered the sun,
The breath of the baleful unease
Turning to ashes flowers in their fields
Silenced the birds in their trees
Hidden so deep in veils of deceit,
Imprisoned in twisting spells-
Are we the plaything of fiends, or merely the dreams
That we're telling ourselves, telling ourselves?

Strive till the phantoms are broken,
Fight till the battle is done;
The squadrons of night
Can't conquer the day,
Nor shadows extinguish the sun.

Stories of danger, fearless attack,
Specters of plague and pain.
All of these ghosts of our own delusions come back
And we'll be haunted again, haunted again.

For tho the storms are over and past,
Though the thunder's rage is quieted at last
Well this nightmare's laid me down in the rags here to mourn,
Here to mourn.
The night has left us crippled with grief
As we strive to keep alive our belief,
But a loss so great, it clouds all our hopes for the dawn.

Hidden so deep in veils of deceit,
Imprisoned in twisting spells-
Are we the plaything of fiends, or merely the dreams
That we're telling ourselves, telling ourselves?

Stories of danger, fearless attack,
Specters of plague and pain.
All of these ghosts of our own delusions come back
Have we been fighting in vain? Fighting in vain?

Still Alive

Lyrics & song by Jonathan Coulton
Vocals by GLaDOS (Ellen McLain)

Musique : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01pQ5Oi3ipA

This was a triumph!
I'm making a note here:
"HUGE SUCCESS!!"

It's hard to overstate
my satisfaction.

Aperture Science;
We do what we must,
because we can.

For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.

But there's no sense crying
over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
till you run out of cake.
And the science gets done,
and you make a neat gun
for the people who are
still alive.

I'm not even angry...
I'm being so sincere right now -
Even though you broke my heart,
and killed me.

And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you!

Now, these points of data
make a beautiful line.
And we're out of BETA.
We're releasing on time!
So I'm GLaD, I got burned -
Think of all the things we learned -
for the people who are
still alive.

(Go ahead and leave me...)
(I think I'd prefer to stay inside...)
(Maybe you'll find someone else
to help you?)
Maybe Black Mesa?
That was a joke! HAHA!! FAT CHANCE!!

Anyway this cake is great!
It's so delicious and moist!

Look at me; still talking
when there's science to do!
When I look out there,
it makes me GLaD I'm not you.

I've experiments to run.
There is research to be done,
on the people who are
still alive.
And believe me I am
still alive.
I'm doing science and I'm
still alive.
I feel fantastic and I'm
still alive.
While you're dying I'll be
still alive.
And when you're dead I will be
still alive.

Still alive.

Still alive.

A Deadman's Gun

Song & Lyrics by Ashtar Command

Musique : http://youtu.be/Yag41F7eCLU

Your hands upon
A deadman's gun and you're
Looking down the sights
Your heart is worn,
And the seams are torn
And they've given you reason to fight

And you're not gonna take what they've got to give
And you not gonna let them take your will to live
Because they've taken enough and you've given them all you can give
And luck won't save them tonight
They've given you reason to fight

And all the storms you've been chasing
About to rain down tonight
And all the pain you've been facin'
About to comin' to the light

Your hands upon
A deadman's gun and you're looking down the sights
Your heart is worn,
And the seams are torn
And they've given you reason to fight.

And you're not gonna take what they've got to give
And you not gonna let them take your will to live
Because they've taken enough and you've given them all you can give
And luck won't save them tonight
They've given you reason to fight

And all the storms you've been chasing
About to rain down tonight
And all the pain you've been facin'
About to comin' to the light

I Want Love

Lyrics & song by Akira Yamaoka, Joe Romersa & Mary Elizabeth McGlynn
Vocals by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn

Musique : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHM9LYxYwSs

I want a cup that overflows with love
Although it's not enough to fill my heart

I want a barrel full of love
Although I know it's not enough to fill my heart

I want a river full of love
But then I know the holes will still remain

I need an ocean full of love
Although I know the holes will still remain

And this Swiss cheese heart knows
Only kindness can fill its holes
I'd love to dry my tears
As pain disappears

I need a miracle and not someone's charity
One drop of love from him and my heart's in ecstasy
The high that is sending me is most likely ending me
I need a miracle and not someone's charity, now

Fill up my heart with love
Oh you'd be amazed at how
Little I need from him
To feel complete here and now
Stirring within me are these feelings I can't ignore
I need a miracle and that's what I'm hoping for

I need a miracle and not someone's charity
One drop of love from him and my heart's in ecstasy
The high that is sending me is most likely ending me
I need a miracle and not someone's charity, now

Anybody's love but his
Will never fill this place within me now
Doctor give me what I need
To free my heart from misery

Cradle of the forest

Lyrics by Hiroyuki Owaku & Joe Romersa
Song by Akira Yamaoka
Vocals by Joe Romersa

Musique : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sSlWQIlAZY

There deep
Deep in the forest night
Children dance the waltz
They laugh
Whispering hand in hand
Just like children like to do

Their eyes
What are they looking for?
White dress flutters the beat
Their song starting to make some sense
Only if you're listening

Dance
Dance like butterflies
Shadows appear right before my eyes
Sounds echo the absurd
Hard to explain something that I heard

Now hear the forest talking
Insects and birds
Does the scent of soil and beast
Breathe the life into the animal you hide?
It's a great illusion one never knows
When you think you're really alone
Feel the eyes of someone looking in on you

Again
See how the children play
Red moon colors the trees
Their feet
Innocent rustling sounds
Playful dreamlike fantasies

Dance
Dance like butterflies
Shadows appear right before my eyes
Sounds echo the absurd
Hard to explain something that I heard

Now hear the forest talking
Insects and birds
Does the scent of soil and beast
Breathe the life into the animal you hide?
It's a great illusion one never knows
When you think you're really alone
Feel the eyes of someone looking in on you

Now hear the forest talking
Insects and birds
Does the scent of soil and beast
Breathe the life into the animal you hide?
It's a great illusion one never knows
When you think you're really alone
Feel the eyes of someone looking in on you

Musique : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Sl7lkKWI_M

Time flows
Nobody knows
The years go by
Where we go
Alone from here

Night falls
Strange colored walls
My eyes deceive
What is wrong
With me?

Deep in the night you think everything's right
Tell it to yourself
Say it's just a nightmare

Something is telling you
Nothing can change where you are
Again

Why should it matter
Your dreams of a child
Innocence is gone
Only fear to play with

Faces are changing
But nothing is changing the pain
Too late

Two steps I take getting closer
And closer

And one more breath I take
Sends me further back

Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah

Over and over it calls to your soul
Say it isn't so
Emptiness surrounds you

No one can help
If the angels refuse to come near
Who's there

Cold faded photos
They lay by your side
Something in my room
Nevermind the reason

Visions are lying and reasons just live to survive
This time

The cold (The cold)
The light (The light)
The fear (The fear)
Returning

It's not (It's not)
The eyes (The eyes)
You feel (You feel)
That's chilling you.

Hero March, The won-stoppable 100

Lyrics by Hideki Kamiya
Song by Hiroshi Yamaguchi

Musique (version Jap') : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdzZ19mTfT0

Trad. :

Numbering just 100, they confront great evil
These heroes care not for their own lives
With 200 fists raised high
They all cry out the very same words

"Unite Morph!" With their hearts in unison
"Unite Hand!" They smash evil to pieces

"If this is a job that someone needs to do..."
"I'll abandon my identity and take a stand!"

Their faces are forever masked
Their tombs are forever unknown
They are... They are... They are... They are...
The indomitable Wonderful 100!

Numbering just 100, they carry the weight of the world
On shoulders that are mighty and broad
With 200 eyes gazing up at the sky
They all have the same determined resolve

"Unite Morph!" With their hearts joined together
"Unite Sword!" They slice evil to shreds

"If I am the only hope for the world..."
"I will gladly throw my life away!"

Before us, there is nothing to fear
Behind us, we leave no enemy standing
Thunder out... Thunder out... Thunder out... Thunder out...
The invincible Wonderful 100!

Numbering just 100, they forge their way alone
Wearing impenetrable masks of iron
With 1000 sorrows concealed in their hearts
They all shed the very same tears

"Unite Morph!" Silencing their own hearts
"Unite Gun!" They leave evil full of holes

"Crying can wait until after our victory..."
"Until I see you smiling again!"

Though there is no peace for us today
We pray for your happiness tomorrow
We are... We are... We are... We are...
The undefeated Wonderful 100!

Their faces are forever masked
Their tombs are forever unknown
They are... They are... They are... They are...
The indomitable Wonderful 100!
