Nur Ein VI - First Blood

First Blood
by Rabid Garfunkel

Come one, come all, and see
The greatest match in history
Two men before your eyes
Swordsmen without compromise

And now, direct from the salle
Master Angelo, with his second, his pal
Witness the evolution of the killing act
Only one rule binds this pact
...First blood!

Step right up to the field of honor
Mothers, maids, sons and fathers
Crowd in close, don't be shy
You want to be right there to see the steel fly

Cut! Feint! Parry! Riposte!
At the end only one will boast
En garde! Corps a corps!
And Master Angelo makes the score!
...First Blood!

What an exhibition, what a show
All your friends will be sorry they didn't go
To see a living master for such a modest fee
The best things, my friends, are rarely free
Master Angelo's Salle is waiting for you
With him teaching, there's nothing you can't do

Jon Eric - "First Blood"

First, blood was drawn
Then a fire was lit
Then he made a small self-sacrifice
And patched the skin that split

It started in the year four hundred twenty six, A.D.
Tikal had a ruler named Siyaj Chan K'awill II
He authorized a squadron to march south so they could see
What territory Tikal stood to gain, by claim or coup

Their leader was a man whose name was K'inich Yax K'uk Mo'
He found the town of Oxwitik and played it to the hilt
He married their nobility, ascended to the throne
And climbed atop the pyramid as soon as it was built

Although each step went right up to his chest
He reached the top before he stopped to rest
He looked back down at all the steps he trod
Then he lay prostrate for his god

First, blood was drawn
Then a fire lit
He made a small self-sacrifice
And patched the skin he'd split

Because a king has got to prove
Yes, a king has got to prove
A king has got to prove
His right to rule

Thirteen rulers following the death of Yax K'uk Mo'
Uaxaclajuun Ub'aah K'awiil ascended to the chair
And under him, the people saw the art of sculpture grow
He had the city's history engraved into the stair

He named K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat as king of Quiriguá
Who then snuck down and stole him from his bed
Yopaat would bring him north to celebrate his last hurrah
And brought him to the temple where he cut of K'awiil's head

And though each step went right up to his chest
He dragged the body up and didn't rest
He looked back down at all the steps he'd trod
And lay prostrate for his
Prostrate for his
Prostrate for his god

First blood was drawn
Then a body burned
He made a human sacrifice
And when the embers died, returned

'Cause a king has got to prove
Yes a king has got to prove
A king has got to prove
His right to rule

First, blood was drawn...
(etc until fade)

First Blood (aka "Six Quarts")
by Glen Raphael

Six quarts of blood
Is all a man has;
It runs out fast
Until the first blood
Could just be the last

Six quarts of blood
Flows in your vein
It helps your brain
It's all you need
Until you start to bleed

Six quarts of blood
Six quarts of blood
Gallon and a half
Gallon and a half
Gallon and a half of blood

[spoken]:
"The primary function of red blood cells, or erythrocytes, is to carry oxygen and carbon dioxide. Hemoglobin is an important protein in the red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of our body.

The primary function of white blood cells, or leukocytes, is to fight infection. There are several types."

[repeat verse/chorus]

[spoken]:
"The primary function of platelets, or thrombocytes, is blood clotting. Platelets are much smaller in size than the other blood cells. They group together to form clumps, or a plug, in the hole of a vessel to stop bleeding.

This concludes our lesson for tonight."

she wears long sleeves
she aims to please

she tears apart
herself to match her heart

she feels so helpless
because everything and everyone keep chipping away

what can you do
when there's no one there to turn to?

she takes control

first blood comes out
full of platelets
begins to clot
the bleeding stops
a scab is formed
for protection
the skin repairs
then it happens again
If I had a dollar for every one of my songs j$ has called a 90s pastiche, I'd have $1 for every song I've written.

First Blood - Frankie Big Face

You make a chart
Listing all the possibilities
You choose a place to start and then proceed
Your first decision
Where to make the first incision
You press the blade into the skin and
Then you watch her bleed

CHORUS:
First blood
Won't live a sweeter moment
Than the time between the pressure and the pain
First love
A time all but forgotten
Though memories fade, the feelings still remain

Before you start
Please take care about the arteries
Persuade the skin apart and intercede
You'll need precision
Light and magnify your vision
To open up her heart
And give her everything she needs

CHORUS

Now here's the lesson
So please man pay attention
You can only make that cut so many times
It's self-defeating
The heart will just stop beating
And the punishment will far outweigh the crimes

First Blood
by Ross Durand

First you have to gain their trust
Say they're so good lookin', throw some money around
Then you have to get them all alone
Some place where no one can hear the sounds
The you ply them with drink, or a simple kiss
And they fall into your spell, they'll lose the will to resist

And then you have to have restraint
Let them think they enjoy it for a little while
Then their eyes are closed, and their lips are moist
they await your kiss though they know it's vile
Ad you pull the hair back from their neck
It's at the point of no turning back

And you sink your teeth in
That's what your fangs are for
And they'll never sleep at night any more
They'll come to crave the taste of blood, like you do
But don't take too much the first time
No don't take too much the first time
That's how you make another one like you
That's how you draw first blood

First Blood
by John Kloberdanz

Attila ruled the Huns 'till he died in 453
His kingdom spread from the Danube to the Baltic Sea
He ravaged all the peoples that we now call Europeans
Didn't treat his fellow man like fellow human beings

Italy, France and Germany all fell before his might
His descendants all blended in, now they know wrong from right

Attila always drew first blood
He always landed the first blow
It's not the way I live my life
What did Attila know

William was the Duke of Normandy and became an English king
He sailed across the Channel and took over everything
At the Battle of Hastings he killed his brother and soon he won the thrown
For hundreds of years the English fought to make their land their own

For all the Middle Ages England and France were at war
They're friendly now but they remember what came before

William always drew first blood
He always landed the first blow
It's not the way I live my life
What did William know

I can read all of my history books and learn all that they say
But it doesn't change the way I am and how I live each day

I'll never draw first blood
Like a conqueror or a villian
It's not the way I live my life
It's not the life I'm living

The Boffo Yux Dudes -First Blood

Well, the feeling is right
And when I’m ready I can go all night
All I need is the sun
I got food and love for everyone

Chorus:

I’m my own autotrophic love
Inorganic compounds fit me like a glove
Make my own sweet love like this
It’s like photosynthesis
I can do it by myself if push comes to shove

Its tough when your brood
can become one of you
Your Dad and Your Mom
are your Brother and Sister too.

It's all due to Autotrophic love
All I need is starch and lipids, and that’s enough
Even though I’m hard to see
There’s no fungi quite like me
You bet I can’t multiply; I’ll call your bluff!

Bridge:

An au·to·troph is an organism capable of synthesizing its own food from inorganic substances, using light or chemical energy. Green plants, algae, and certain bacteria are autotrophs.
I gotta be me. I gotta be... I'm... I'm the only thing I am. I'm just me - so Me and Me and I

All I need is myself
The stuff around me is my source of wealth
Don’t need a mate to divide
‘Cause all the love I need I have inside

Chorus:

I’m my own autotrophic love
Inorganic compounds fit me like a glove
Make my own sweet love like this
It’s like photosynthesis
I can do it by myself if push comes to shove

I, myself, and me and me and someone else, maybe I.
Hmm.. I think I've Got a Band...

First Blood - Paco del Stinko

It was 150 years ago today

In 1861 - Civil war had just begun
Just over the Potomac - A rebel flag was hung
Elmer Ephraim Ellsworth - From New York by birth
Feeling brave and confident - To Virginia went

Oh-Elmer Ellsworth!

It was 150 years ago today

The flag was on a roof - Of a local inn
Ellsworth took it down - With proudly lifted chin
But James W.Jackson - With a shotgun blastin'
Shot the colonel dead - Turned his chest blood red

Oh-Elmer Ellsworth!

It was 150 years ago today

The first to die were at Fort Sumter
At the surrender near the bunker
But the colonel's death rallied the people
Rich and poor fighting as equal


It was 150 years ago today

The greatest little man - That Lincoln ever met
Gave his life for freedom - Gained his fame from death
He gave it all - Just 5-6 foot tall
He stood up proud - His death rang out so loud

Oh-Elmer Ellsworth!
Martyr for the Union cause!

It was 150 years ago today
It was 150 years ago today
Bringin' the stink since 2006.

First Blood by Merisan

I’ve noticed your gaze every night for a while
and can see you’re enjoying the view.
I bet you’re the type who wants more than a smile
So I’ll make this clear just for you.

I like the kind of man
Who wants to leave me cold
Maybe you’ll understand
I need a lover who can take control

Step one: Turn the lights down low
Step two: Put on your long black cape
Step three: Move in close and slow
Now you’re ready for your first blood!

It takes more than charm to woo this girl,
though flowers and chocolates are nice.
What I’m looking for lasts an eternity
What you want is just for tonight.

I like the kind of man
Who wants to leave me cold
Maybe you’ll understand
I need a lover who can take control

Step one: Turn the lights down low
Step two: Put on your long black cape
Step three: Move in close and slow
Now you’re ready for your first blood!

First Blood
by Luke Henley

In the beginning
red puddles on the tile
and after on the bed
soon after the smiles
went away for a while.
Might have to change the diet of the animal
from something crystal-forming
to something more holistic.
Change the food before the fights begin.
The fights come after, but

first, blood.
First comes blood.
Then comes something worse.

The animal sits in the sill
like a fattened Queen of Hearts
I wish I could squeeze out her god damn eyeballs,
but you love her so much.
You must remove all traces,
and keep the box clean
or she will leave red puddles
and then we'll each get mean.
I won't go to bed mad one more time for her,
one more time.
Change the cleaning product
before the fights begin.
The fights come after, but

first, blood.
First comes the blood.
Then comes something unrehearsed,
something worse.

If you use ammonia-based sprays
or regular laundry detergent
your puddles will never dry
your fights will get more urgent
over this fat bitch idiot vomit cat.
They love ammonia
they love to piss on everything.
Just moved in and everything's great
you're in love and that is keen,
but there's piss everywhere.
No ammonia
or the fights begin.
They come after, but

first, blood.
First comes blood.
Life comes before the hearse,
something unrehearsed,
then something worse.

But first comes blood.

The generalization of the optimum demodulator
Interjected to the case of M-ary orthogonal signals
Is straightforward.

If the equal energy and equally probable
signal waveforms are represented as
SMT of the real SLMT times e
to the j2 pi frequency of t

Frequency of t
Frequency of t

Well, SLMT of the equivalent
low pass signals
of the optimum correlation type
or matched filter type
demodulator produces the m-complex
random variables

I said the random variables

RM plus RLT plus jRMS
(where RLT is the equivalent low-pass recieved signal)

The low-pass received signal!

then the optimum detector based on random uniformally distributed carrier phase
computes the m-envelopes
or, equivalently the squared envelopes
and selects the signal with the largest envelope.

Envelope!

First Blood
by WreckdoM

I never thought it would be this way
Everybody spitting in my face
I fought hard so we could be free
Now all I wants something to eat
The local sheriff is pissing me off
He calls me hippie and he beats me up
His gang of cops have gone too far
Now they will learn the truth of war

I'm Rambo, John Rambo,
Killing's as easy as breathing
You've shed first blood
Now it's your blood I'm spilling

No Guts No Glory No Guns No Gory
You ain't heard the last of my story
Lock me away where I couldn't be seen
Until they realized that they needed me
Got inside, twisted my brain
Sent me to hell to kill again
A thousand bullets rain from the sky
You hear my scream, and then you die

I'm Rambo, John Rambo,
Killing's as easy as breathing
You've shed first blood
Now it's your blood I'm spilling

I'm gonna fight until I'm free
I'm coming home someday

Four men, brave and tall
Stand together, none will fall
Knife cut, bullets fly
But no, no they won't die

Aim true, count the wind
Hold steady, and begin
Missile soar, crash down
Sunken crater in the ground

Miss!

Retaliation is assured
Move the pieces on the board
Rope swing, climb high
And release in time

Miss!

Close range, shot gun
Two barrels in the sun
Honest aim, so tight
Shells fall, air ignites

Miss!

Four men, brave and tall
Stand together, all will fall
Knife slash, bullets wound
And they will die soon

No messing this time,
Five paces in a line
Sheer wood, baseball bat
Swing hard, contact

First blood!
First blood!
First blood!

By JoAnn Abbott and Caleb Hines

We're standing here alone, and I cannot believe,
Our life has changed, and I can only grieve.
All I wanted was to know,
But when I broke His law, I was forced to go...

I feel a chill that I have never felt before.
And wrap the skin around.
Smell the blood, the sacrifice of pain.
Spilling on the ground.

If you hadn’t given in,
But you went along,
We would not need these bleeding skins
I needed you to be strong
Now death begins

[Chorus]
First blood First blood
A stain I cannot wash away
First blood First blood
To pay a debt I cannot pay
An innocent has died so I can live another day
I cannot get away from this first blood

It happened on a Friday night,
It seemed as if the world had lost its light,
As everybody ran in fright,
The sacrifice did not put a fight.

But when the last blood fell upon the killing ground
The final debt was paid
Third days dawning, a hope there was found
Which never more would fade

From the first blood that fell for me
I will not forget,
To the last drops that set me free
The person who paid my debt
For love of me.

[Chorus]
Last Blood Last blood
That covers from the son of man
Last blood last blood
The gift to all within the land
The innocent has risen and fulfilled his father’s plan
He loved us all he can
With His last blood
Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

Tonight we commemorate the life
of a man who gave his away

Tonight we talk about the blood
that was poured out to cover the first blood

Tonight we talk about the Son
who through death and propitiation
covered over the first blood.

Bram Tant - First Blood

Existence is pointless
Existence is pain
So it seems to me
Life is but shame

I don't know what to do
I don't know what to feel
It seems impossible
To know what is real

When I draw first blood
It aches so delightfully
As the blood drips down
And hurt becomes my reality

Slowly I fade away
As my consciousness slips
And a burning sensation
Is all that remains

Suddenly I'm somewhere else
In a place of life
Somewhere I can be
Somewhere I can live

And as I enjoy
All the good of this world
I realize
I'm gone once again

I wake up
In a puddle of my own blood
It was only a dream
Everything's the same

First Blood
by BLT

-verse 1
You try to break and build me back up again
I'll never know just how you can't feel
I couldn't see through you, but now you're an open wound
Infected but painless and never can heal

-verse 2
I would have died for you, but what good would that have done
You're still the same now that you've always been
Sticking your knife in me, cutting me to the bone
Counting compulsively backwards to one

-chorus
You drew first blood
You drew first blood

-bridge
You tuned away
You're heart turned to black
Everyone wondered
If you would ever come back
I don't care
What you've got to prove
If you cross my path
It's the last thing that you will ever do

-verse 3
You try to break and build me back up again
I'll never know just how you can't feel
I couldn't see through you, but now you're an open wound
Infected but painless and never can heal

-chorus X2
You drew first blood

First Blood
(the whole Sad Thing..
Concerning The Piranha, or Piraña .. which Alas, I Cannot Spell)

I'm a fish, tiny fish
not enough for a dish
word on the street says that I wish
that I could just eat you up
like in the movies
babe on the chain
dangle over the pirana cage

i'm ferocious
first blood I'm atrocious
next great white with an underbite
oh no! that's a lie
i like beer and apple pie

find some science before you compare me
Why you wanna use me so scary?
the cannibals and animals
that's not in wikipedia
i'll tell you i'm not a criminal

I'm just trying to make some babies
Got a slick pad wavy reeds in the shallows
at the Rio Mogi Caucu
If you don't like I say…

- get lost!
Fins up!
so you wanna play the blame game
Say my name that I drew first blood
What a joke!
-I don't attack unless provoked!
(go get me a rum and coke)

It's illegal to box and store me in America
I'm aware that you wanna stare at me in your eatery
..yeah boys cuz I'm so pretty,
but that's not me you see it's my homies -
Catfish, Pacus
-in the the tank
by the ficus tree

I'm a pirana-
I wanna suck your blood
but I don't wanna
I got a jutting lower lip but I don't smoke the marijuana
I'm always on the swim I wouldn't do it underwater
I lay a lot of eggs so I don't know my sons and daughters

Don't you dare feel sorry for me
I only got one row of teeth
