Usher in the rally cries
Revolution’s here again
The emperor’s bonds are broken
As free he shall remain
Escape, through narrow, was demand
While his reign remained in view
This fight for France, ‘till bitter end
He must see it through
Coalition forms of many lands
Against Napoleon, west to east
The dogs of war will take to arms
And soon will be unleashed
Prussian, Russian and Austrian
All follow British lead
At allies’ helm is Wellington
Who must make his foe concede?
Foreshadowed man of destiny
Soon you will be forced to see
Nations aligning against you
Marking the time your reign is through
(And you will see your hundred days come to an end)
Foreshadowed man of destiny
Soon you will be forced to see
Nations aligning against you
Marking the time your reign is through
(It lies before you, fate shall befall you)
Quickly, the allies gather force
Near the Franco-Belgian line
While 124,000 French
March there in double time
As the battle begins
Napoleon springs his audacious plan
He’ll attack them on two fronts
Splitting up his warring band
As the Prussians sound retreat
Behind they leave 12,000 slain
Most of their force is still intact
And will live to fight again
Wellington, who felt the loss of 5,000 men
Would feel more under cannon fire
Bombardment from the French
Foreshadowed man of destiny
Soon you will be forced to see
Nations aligning against you
Marking the time your reign is through
(And you will see your hundred days come to an end)
Foreshadowed man of destiny
Soon you will be forced to see
Nations aligning against you
Marking the time your reign is through
(It lies before you, fate shall befall you)
Of all the wars I have waged
To propel my nations might
For this I’ll be remembered
From now ‘till the end of time
If to the victor go the spoils
I may die an impoverished man
For in the end, irony
Has dealt the cruelest hand
The French force was swift and sure
But their attack would be repelled
And though their center battered
The Anglo-Dutch line would be held
As fate or skill would have it
An army moves from the east
The Prussians who slipped through his hands
Would soon spell his defeat
French lines now all broken
And being open to attack
The emperor has no choice
And the old guard pulls him back
45,000 wounded or dead
When the fight was finally through
On a three mile square of battlefield
Near a town named Waterloo
Foreshadowed man of destiny
Soon you will be forced to see (of destiny!)
Nations aligning against you
Marking the time your reign is through
(And you will see your hundred days come to an end)
Foreshadowed man of destiny
Soon you will be forced to see (the tragedy!)
Nations aligning against you
Marking the time your reign is through
(It lies before you, fate shall befall you)

"In July 1863
A nation torn in tragedy
A trick of fate, two great armies merge
Gods of war at Gettysburg
Devastation lies ahead
50, 000 bodies litter the land
Hell rages three full days
The reaper sows, there's the devil to pay"
- The Devil to Pay, Iced Earth

Les chansons addictives que j'écoute toujours en boucle (partie 2)
Je suis particulièrement accro à l'explosion instrumentale entre 2'29 et 2'45 avec l'envoûtant piano (trop court, donc je réécoute la chanson plein de fois juste pour le plaisir du frisson musical qui monte au moment de ce piano, ne cherchez pas, je suis une mélomaniaque 😂)
J'adore ce rythme hypnotique et les notes vocales longues de la fin qui me rendent littéralement addicte à cette chanson.
J'ai encore un truc avec un passage musical addictif à 2'03 à 2'20 (Mélomaniaque 2 le retour 😂).
Bon, beaucoup de titres de Tool sont hypnotiques et addictifs, entre autres cette chanson avec sa guitare lancinante...
Et ce morceau instrumental qu'on ne peut pas s'empêcher d'écouter encore et encore, ces percussions vraiment...
Quant à cette chanson-là, je ne m'explique pas vraiment le côté addictif de son refrain, je sais juste que j'ai toujours envie de l'écouter en boucle une fois que je l'entends 😂

i'm ripping my cd collection because i'm tired of spotify removing my obscure metal bands, and while they rip, i'm going through the booklets and i found this little gem
now, i know what you're thinking, "Alex and Jones are super common names" and i know this because that's exactly what my sister said. but i have another picture for you
that's Jon Schaffer! at Jan 6th! wearing an oath keepers hat! while the leader of oath keepers swears they have nothing to do with him which is incredibly funny.
anyway, i'm gonna go through the rest of my collection and see how many problematic people i can find in the thanks.

so i made an alignment chart based off of band mascots, the 1st pic is one with oculus, the 2nd pic is an alt without my mascot.
now this isn't relatively based on the band/muscian itself, but rather the character of the mascot themselves.
i only really made this due to someone making a metal mascot political compass meme
Mascots:
Lawful Good: Oculus(Right Eye of Rage), and Murray/Murralsee(Dio)
Neutral Good: The Guy(Disturbed)
Chaotic good: Not Man (Anthrax)
Lawful Neutral: Vic Rattlehead(Megadeth)
True Neutral: Violent Mind(Kreator)
Chaotic Neutral: Eddie the Head (Iron Maiden)
Lawful Evil: Ziltoid the Omnicient(Devin Townsend)
Neutral Evil: Set Abominae(Iced Earth)
Chaotic Evil: Chaly(Overkill)

The deal was rigged
There’s darkness in my soul
I want to die again
An empty soul shrouded in darkness
Alone and confused what am I?
Images flash memories jaded
He took my life – God damn his lies
Fight, son of the damned, bring down the heavens
Smash in the gates, burn ‘em down
You must accept the fate that you’ve chosen
You will obey your destiny
I cheated myself for love
Love unconditional
Now just to see her face
I’ve lost it all
I know there’s goodness in me
Though I’m not the same
I will defy the master
I will refuse to be his slave
No, I was betrayed, I can’t accept this
My future’s unclear, it’s a lie
I’ll follow my heart stand and be counted
The curse will lift – I will survive
I cheated myself for love
Love unconditional
Now just to see her face
I’ve lost it all
I cheated myself for love
Love unconditional
Now just to see her face
I’ve lost it all
