revenge lyrics

rachel

I have the mother of all english assignments to do and of course I've left it to the last minute so trying to get it all done with a hangover is about as much fun as melting your own face would be... so I need help... (possibly in more ways than one) but as far as this goes...

My theme is revenge and I need an aesthetic piece incorporating that...

Thinking of just using some song lyrics...

anyone able to think of any great revenge songs?

thanks

o sleep

the afghan whigs are (were) a good bet for lyrics about revenge. check out any of their songs on any of their albums. this is probably the most angry (and revenge-ful, if such a word exists):

honky's ladder
got you where i want you, mother****er
i got five up on your dime
and if you wanna peep on something
peep what i got stuck between your eyes
and since i don't believe a word you say
save it for another, baby brother
swallow time to pay

up on the ladder they sing how high
does a brother have to climb to touch the light?

but wait till i get done with you
if you tell me "don't get mixed up with the devil"
that's exactly what i'm going to do

caught you while you waited
for your boy to come
and fix you up again
come a little closer, baby
i only wanna try and be your friend
since i aint got nothing left to lose...
got you where i want you mother****er
don't you try to move

up on the ladder they sing how high?
does a brother have to climb to touch the light?
won't you take me up there with you? you said you would
no one ever could shake that ladder like i could

hope this helps. but it probably won't ("who the **** are the afghan whigs?")

Her Ghost In The Fog

Fantastic Cradle Of Filth song about a man who's lover was raped a murdered by some men of a christian community because she was a witch.
He then takes to burning their church with them inside.

The Moon, she hangs like a cruel portrait
soft winds whisper the bidding of trees
as this tragedy starts with a shattered glass heart
and the Midnightmare trampling of dreams
But on, no tears please
Fear and pain may accompany Death
But it is desire that shepherds it's certainty
as We shall see..."

She was divinity's creature
That kissed in cold mirrors
A Queen of Snow
Far beyond compare
Lips attuned to symmetry
Sought Her everywhere
Dark liqoured eyes
An Arabian nightmare...

She shone on watercolours
Of my pondlife as pearl
Until those who couldn't have Her
Cut Her free of this World

That fateful Eve when..
The trees stank of sunset and camphor
Their lanterns chased phantoms and threw
An imquisitive glance, like the shadows they cast
On my love picking rue by the light of the moon

Putting reason to flight
Or to death as their way
They crept through woods mesmerized
By the taffeta Ley
Of Her hips that held sway
Over all they surveyed
Save a mist on the rise
(A deadly blessing to hide)
Her ghost in the fog

They raped left...
(Five men of God)
...Her ghost in the fog

Dawn discovered Her there
Beneath the Cedar's stare
Silk dress torn, Her raven hair
Flown to gown Her beauty bared
Was starred with frost, I knew Her lost
I wept 'til tears crept back to prayer

She'd sworn Me vows in fragrant blood
"Never to part
Lest jealous Heaven stole our hearts"

Then this I screamed:
"Come back to Me
I was born in love with thee
So why should fate stand inbetween?"

And as I drowned Her gentle curves
With dreams unsaid and final words
I espied a gleam trodden to earth
The Church bell tower key...

The village mourned her by the by
For She'd been a witch
their Men had longed to try
And I broke under Christ seeking guilty signs
My tortured soul on ice

A Queen of snow
Far beyond compare
Lips attuned to symmetry
Sought Her everywhere
Trappistine eyes
An Arabian nightmare...

She was Ersulie possessed
Of a milky white skin
My porcelain Yin
A graceful Angel of Sin

And so for Her...
The breeze stank of sunset and camphor
My lantern chased Her phantom and blew
Their Chapel ablaze and all locked in to a pain
Best reserved for judgement that their bible construed...

Putting reason to flight
Or to flame unashamed
I swept form cries
Mesmerized
By the taffeta Ley
Or Her hips that held sway
Over all those at bay
Save a mist on the rise
A final blessing to hide
Her ghost in the fog

And I embraced
Where lovers rot...
Her ghost in the fog

Her ghost in the fog

Fantastic lyrics, very poetic and beautiful.
