Poetry:

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor", I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door —
Only this, and nothing more."

The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe


Lyrics:



“With bony hands I hold my partner,
On soulless feet we cross the floor.
The music stops as if to answer
An empty knocking at the door.

It seems his skin was sweet as mango
When last I held him to my breast,
But now we dance this grim fandango
And will four years before we rest.”

Grim Fandango by Peter McConnel





This fight could be the last fight
No giving and no winning
One time could be the all the time
Should we decide to end the misery

Break the chains of featherweights and giants
With the stain forever lasting liars
They're afraid when we spit out the fire
And start living
...

The last fight by Velvet Revolver





There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
...

Brothers in arms by Dire Straits





A golden helmet blinded minds
Among ten thousand swords
Along the road to babylon
A golden thunder silenced songs
Among ten thousand voices
On the road to babylon
...

The Road To Babylon Lyrics by Manfred Mann's Earth Band





Just like children hidin' in a closet
Can't tell what's goin' on outside
Sometimes we're so far off the beaten track
We'll get taken for a ride
By a parlor trick or some words of wit
A hidden hand up a sleeve
To think the one you love
could hurt you now
Is a little hard to believe
But everybody darlin' sometimes
Bites the hand that feeds
