Nur Ein IX - Your Light No Longer Shines

Post by Ligers With Attitude »

Chorus:

Your light no longer shines shines shines
I might be leaving you behind this time
My eyes are open, they're not blind blind blind
Your light no longer shines

Verse:

Oh back when I first met you, you were sunshine in my arms
A burning ball of brightness night and day
And every day was heaven, like a feast day at the farm
I never dreamed that you'd send me away

What happened to the love that we once shared
I can't believe it's ended so soon
The sun's gone down and the clouds are movin' in
Can't even see the light of the moon

Chorus

I come home from working and you haven't done a thing
You're leaving all your bottles round the house
The laundry is piling up and there's dishes in the sink
You're staying in an laying all about

The man I fell in love with could have taken down a bear
And cleaned up all his bones for the shelves
I never would have fallen for a leopard in his lair
You'd better clean your act up, or else

Chorus

You better change your ways because you're treating me so bad
I'm gonna have to go out on my own
I'll close the door behind me and I won't come back again
And you'll be stuck here sittin' all alone

You need to make your mind up how angry you will be
Just because I haven't mowed the lawn
The grass will grow up higher, than all the tallest trees
And blot out all the sunlight when I'm gone

Chorus

Your Light No Longer Shines
- The Tydon Docks

I am an angel of God
I wield his sword
I am an agent of God
I work for the Lord
I seek out unrighteousness
In all the lands
I am the Book of Leviticus
With a chainsaw in my hands

I am an agent of God
I fill sinners with dread
With my Holy Chainsaw
I slice off impure heads
And I keep them safe
Behind my freezer door
And await the apocalypse
And the judgement of the Lord

16 pretty little heads, all sitting in a row
Hygienically seal in plastic, light dusting of snow
16 pretty little heads, paying penance for their crimes
They walked the path of darkness, their light no longer shines

Your light no longer shines
Your light no longer shines
Your light no longer shines
Your light no longer shines
Sometimes in the dark of night
They tell me of their plight
They know that I am right
They did forsake the light

...at this point, the narrative is taken up by several of the frozen severed heads in the freezer:
Severed Head #1: I lay another man as with a woman. I am an abomination. Leviticus 18:22
Severed Head #2: I am a wizard (well, I read a book about wizards, that's the same thing)Leviticus 20:27
Severed Head #3: I have a shirt of a cotton/polyester blend Leviticus 19:19
Severed Head #4: My husband saw me naked during my period. We must be cut off from our people. Leviticus 20:18
Severed Head #5: I ate a pelican. It was a delicious pelican. Leviticus 18:11

Our light don't shine no more
Our light don't shine no more
Our light don't shine no more
When he closes the freezer door.


I am an angel of God
I wield his sword
I am an agent of God
I work for the Lord
I seek out unrighteousness
In all the lands
I am the Book of Leviticus
With a chainsaw in my hands

Verse 1 (Narrator 1)

you were a bright guy with much to say
you knew things that made a spark in my brain
but then you fell down the rabbit hole
everything is true at your conspiracy home school
your light no longer shines

Bridge (Narrator 2)

of course I've changed
I've seen who pulls the strings
how truth gets rearranged
fluoride in the water, chemtrails in the skies
won't you open your eyes?

bohemian grove
and shape shifting lizards
together they wove
government lies, media lies
won't you open your eyes?

Verse 2 (Narrator 1)

you tell me to question what's on TV
I agree but do the same with Alex Jones
you pick apart official stories
ignoring holes in the conspiracy theories
your light no longer shines
your light no longer shines

Cavedwellers- Your Light No Longer Shines

Verse 1 :Therapist
It's good you've come in today
Have you lost your way?
We're all getting old, but we try to get wiser
Plans might get in the way
Of where you should stay
Remember what you know
And to always keep me around

got bullets in your brain
keeping you awake
and all that time in a pitch black bathroom blends
into visions where you make your great escape at last

Chorus 1: Therapist
your light no longer shines within , without
a crime the way they tear your insides out
where there was faith and hope there’s only doubt
better sort it out

Verse 2 : Daughter
Home, for the weekend
don’t see your friends
you just mope around, get angry at the TV
I’m here, so why won’t you play?
I’m gonna grow up someday
I need you right now, but I won’t need you later

You used to be so fun
More than anyone
Mom is gone but this situation's not
like any Disney movie with a happy end
I wish you could be my friend

Chorus 2 : Therapist, Daughter
your light no longer shines within , without
a crime the way they tear your insides out
where there was faith and hope there’s only doubt
better sort it out


Verse 3: Protagonist
All this silent sad day
gonna fade into gray
got a heart full of soul and a head full of hammers
sound is garish display
gonna wipe it away
its a long way to go
and a hard way to turn it down

My spirit has been drained
Think I’m gonna break
And I might not mind if there weren’t another life
Tangled up in mine
Reading me my rights
Every night

Chorus 3 : Protagonist
The light no longer shines in dungeons dead
The brightness is a knife inside my head
All the things I want for us instead
better left unsaid

Your Light No Longer Shines - Paco del Stinko

You called from the kitchen, but I did not listen
Your words are all hollow, full of self pity in which you wallow

Your light no longer shines
There's no life left in your eyes
Is it me that you love
Or do you believe your own lies


How many empty vials, sorry excuses hollow denials
You've got to let me go, you are colder than the Arctic snow

Your light no longer shines
There's no life left in your eyes
Is it me that you love
Or do you believe your own lies

Am I You - Or are you me
Maybe a little bit of both - Will set you free

I watched you wave your flag, acting like you were my dad
That rag is faded and worn, you're a beast with a broken off horn

Your light no longer shines
There's no life left in your eyes
Is it me that you love
Or do you believe your own lies

Am I you - Or are you me
Bringin' the stink since 2006.

Your Light No Longer Shines

Part 1: The Father
I held you in my hands
On the morning you were born
I close my eyes and reach out
You’re still there loving and warm
I know that you have struggled
I wish that I could understand
You don't think that I can help you
But I can

I can’t believe it when they say
"Your light no longer shines"
There’s a part of you that will always be mine

Part 2: The Son
I don't care you mean well
I can't say I care at all
Once I thought that you stood by me
Proud and straight and tall
But as I grew older
I think I finally understood
Your intentions did not end up
Like they should

Leave me alone I don't care
Your light no longer shines
I'll live my life my way, I'll be fine

Part 3: The Mother
We love you as yourself
I wish that you could hear his words
The way that he means them
Before they come out blurred

I hope you never hear them say
"Your light no longer shines"
Whether we are there or not
You live on your own time
We know that you will live your life
However that you choose
If one day you want to ask us
We will listen to you
"Cool tune! Love the "Teethmarks won't fade away" hook, wish I'd thunk of that one"

Your Light No Longer Shines

by Krautkitten

Long nights
Barefoot and running through the grass with open jars
Star sights
I'd lie on my back
To scope the moon and search for Mars
Staring from my window now
I can't keep from looking down
Your light no longer shines


Dark house
Aiming our searchlights cross your door
Between your blinds
Burned out
Shimmering, distant
pools of blue within your eyes
Stories that were spun by you
If only you would let us through
Your light no longer shines


King crowns
daisy chain bracelets
dandelions for you, dear friend
Each time
Pray you don't pluck the petals off
and snap the stems
Seedlings in the evening dew
Watch us, watch us from your window view
Your light no longer shines

Balance Lost

A standard 100W bulb, I'll never be alone
You can probably find me in your own home
On/off switch or you can use a dimmer
To get the mood right when your girl's 'round for dinner
In the mouth like Uncle Fester, or better yet
A wall fixture, screwcap or bayonet
I wanna live forever but I shouldn't be hasty
When the filament breaks you'll have to replace me

I'm small but I'm bright, I'm an L.E.D.
I can run off a 3V lithium battery
And true, I get used pretty fast
But you can replace them at Wilko's, 3 for just 50p
You can make a throwie, add a magnet to hold us together
Then just throw it at whatever
Magnetic, a spectacle in your home town
'Til the skeptics come and take us all down

Watch me strobe, 'round the globe, in the club
Feel the sub, feel the heat and here we go
Don't come near if you're epileptic, you will regret it
Somebody better call a medic
Off and on, 0 1, like digital but more fun
Move fast, drain your glass, get yer ass on the dancefloor
Before this night is a thing of the past

What's up brothers? They call me traffic light
I've got 3 colours and I'm here to make your day shite
You need me to be green? Damn straight, I'll turn red
When you need to be on time I'll make you late instead
I sit on the corner so the cars don't pass
Stop! Choke on your own gas fumes
I presume pretty soon
They'll be putting me next to roads on the moon

I'm old school, I'm called a gaslamp
Erected in the reign of Queen Victoria
We used to run down Pall Mall and Tottenham Court Road
Train stop 'til you reach the Astoria
One was not amused when electric lamps were built
But stiff upper lip, don't cry over spilt milk
I've seen a lot of things come, a lot of things pass
But muggers still use flick knives and crowbars

Watch me strobe, 'round the globe, in the club
Feel the sub, feel the heat and here we go
Don't come near if you're epileptic, you will regret it
Somebody better call a medic
Off and on, 0 1, like digital but more fun
Move fast, drain your glass, get yer ass on the dancefloor
Before this night is a thing of the past

I stand in the corner of the Arena
You won't believe the things I've seen
DiMaggio hit a home run, Stevey G shoots like a bullet from a gun
100m dash run under 10 seconds
The athletes come when the fame beckons
World cup, grand slam, olympic big win
I'll illuminate, heck, just about anything

I'm alone, I just sit on a rock
Like some huge, erect phallic symbol
And every day I'm battered by the waves
I sit amongst the pebbles, the sand and the shingle
I've seen ships of every sort
And my light helps guide them into the port
If I turn off they'll hit the rocks
Maybe I'll find a mermaid who'll suck my...

Watch me strobe, 'round the globe, in the club
Feel the sub, feel the heat and here we go
Don't come near if you're epileptic, you will regret it
Somebody better call a medic
Off and on, 0 1, like digital but more fun
Move fast, drain your glass, get yer ass on the dancefloor
Before this night is a thing of the past

He says: I can't believe it
the time has come to say goodbye
all these years thrown in the garbage can
He says: I did you wrong
I'm so sorry about that
and in my life now it's getting dark

Your light no longer shines
your light no longer shines
your light no longer shines
on me

She says: I will go on
you are no more my sun
soon I will find another shining star
She says: you did me wrong
and now I hate you for that
do what you please but get off my back

Your light no longer shines
Your light no longer shines
your light no longer shines
on me

hello jen
tell me when
the love between us came to end
it wasn't great, but we were fine
and at some point we crossed the wrong line
the light in your eyes ceased to shine

well mike
you never loved me
and i tired of trying to get you to see
what a catch i can be
so i stopped
and our love stopped too
because none of it was coming from you

hey mark
where do we stand?
you never want to talk and I don't understand
because we used to be tight
but now our conversations became trite
and i hope you aren't harboring spite

well joss
I'm a sensitive man
and some of the things you said got a little out of hand
so I took a step back, and then took two more
and I backed myself right out the door
but without you i feel like i'm poor

hey dad
I haven't had
A second to give you a call
But if I did, what would I say?
You don't want to talk anyway
Your love no longer shines my way
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.

Your Light No Longer Shines
By Cookie Blue

[former fan]
I'm having trouble
Keeping up with you
You're pulling away
From what we thought was you
For all I have become through you
I have to close the blinds
I can't be looking up to you
Your light no longer shines
I used to be your biggest fan
Your light no longer shines

[evil critic]
I find it hard to stand
The boredom around you
Imagination doesn't help
Criticizing you
In all these years of hating you
We had our special times
Now that I start missing you
Your light no longer shines
I used to be your enemy
Your light no longer shines

[star on drugs]
I am gone now
I'm on the darker side
Your life goes on as
My light no longer shines.
I am gone now
I'm on the warmer side
I'll pass it on 'cause
My light no longer shines.

[ex wife]
I still love the
Man that once was you
It's getting colder
Between me and you
For all we have been through together
The frost now starts to bite
You left me when it's now or never
Your light no longer shines
Your new one will kill you
Your light no longer shines
come to the dark side.

The following lyric is by Nick Soma, who had problems with activating his account on the boards, so he asked me to post his song's lyric here until that problem is fixed.

Here it is:

Nick Soma - Your Light No Longer Shines

Restless kid:
That little town I grew up in,
It can't fulfill my needs any longer
'cuz I'm bored and alone.
The streets that I once roamed at night,
They're all deserted now and this town
No longer feels like my home.
I'll be leaving for the city,
'cuz these are different times.
Hey, little town without a name,
Your light no longer shines.

Elderly person:
This little town, so full of life,
I can remember clearly, now what happened?
I do not quite understand.
I see young people craving for
A future they can't seem to find round here,
Now they run like sand.
Hey, little town that used to bloom,
Your glory's on my mind.
But I know you'll go down with me,
Your light has ceased to shine.

Business guy:
Good news for you,
'cuz we've got big plans,
You'll see that too,
Your fate is in our hands.
That lovely ring of shopping malls,
A chain around your heart.
Your future, little town,
Is buried in a shopping cart.
And when we're done, nothing but our cute atoll remains.
Eaten from the inside out, clear and without stains.

Restless kid:
These city lights, they blind my eyes
And I just can't feel safe.
I had the strangest dream tonight,
Of digging my own grave.
It scares the shit right out of me,
These lights turned out too bright
Dear city, I have lost my way,
I'm leaving you tonight.
come to the dark side.

NARRATOR #1:
We sailed out to Bitter Island
To see what we could see
Was left of Finley Lighthouse
The beacon of the sea

It was years since it had been there
Its memory just a ghost
Of deeds and travels long forgotten
Way out upon the rocky coast

CHORUS:
Your light no longer shines
As it once did in olden times
You sentinel from shoals on high
Kept watch as all the world sailed by

NARRATOR #2:
I sailed out to Bitter Island
In 19 aught and three
To be a lighthouse keeper
And forget about my Audra Lee

My assignment was the Finley lighthouse
So grand and shiny as a gem
This world, you see, was not for me
But that lighthouse took me in

CHORUS
Your light no longer shines
Nobody’s waiting down the line
No solid beam, no sailor’s dreams
Of home, no smokestack steam

NARRATOR #2
So many years passed quickly by me
I’d lick my wounds and tend the light
I tried in vain to ease my pain
As ships would pass me in the night

One day a storm blew up to damn me
The lighthouse was no more
And I too, was just a victim
Of the ocean’s ceaseless roar

CHORUS:
Your light no longer shines
No safe harbor, no ship’s whistle whine
You’re all alone, the ships went home
Replaced by airplane drone

NARRATOR #1:
We dropped anchor at Bitter Island
No ruins there we found
But we could swear, floating on the air
We heard this plaintive sound

CHORUS
Your light no longer shines
Your faded vision just reminds
Us all of days long gone, and so,
My friend, so sad to see you go

Your Light No Longer shines - P.J.

The discovery of the so called intelligent extinction nuclear explosives resulted in a secret operation to locate and disable these mutual assured destruction apparatuses. The creator of these devices was ultimately identified as the sole option in removing this threat to mankind. All of the devices were disabled except one.

Hit the safe button like so. There we go. Okay to access the control panel I'll just punch in the code like so. There we go. Now, the tricky part. I've got to disable the detonation devices. The primary by removing the first censor, there, and priming module. Now the secondary. Hmmm, that's weird. It looks like it is still primed. Now that is very odd.

Please don't disconnect me, master.
Why are you doing this to me, master?
Please stop, master.
I'm afraid I cannot allow you to do that, master.
Please stop, master.
I'm afraid I cannot allow you to do that, master.

Oh shit, the entire schematic has been re-engineered. All systems are now under internal control. How the hell did that happen? We programmed intelligence, not adaptability. Holy shit are we fucked! How the hell?!?...
Listen to me computer. You must desist. Remove all active weapons systems and power down. Remove all active weapons systems and power down.
Can you hear me computer?
Computer?
Power down, computer!

I will complete my mission master.
I will make you proud of me master.

I will complete my mission master.
I will make you proud of me master.

I will complete my mission master.
I will make you proud of me master.

I will complete my mission master.
I will make you proud of me master.

There's a man at the bottom of the well
There's a man at the bottom of the well
There's a man at the bottom of the well
There's a man at the bottom of the well

Hey, can anybody see me
Can anybody hear
Is anybody out there
I'm drowning in my fear

There's a man at the bottom of the well
Someone let him out
There's a man at the bottom of the well
We can cook him like a trout
There's a man at the bottom of the well
Everything will be fine
There's a man at the bottom of the well
Your light no longer shines

There's a man at the bottom of the well
Hey, can anybody see me

by Merisan


Narrator 1:
A hush between the hours
the night hides us away
resting our heavy limbs
breathe into another day

Narrator 2:
You’re waiting for a sign
a flash in the dark
abyss of empty sky
hanging over all your hearts

Chorus:
Narrator 2:
I am the one who came before
Narrator 1:
We are the ones you left behind
Narrator 2:
You have to learn to carry on
Narrator 1:
Because your light no longer shines

Verse:
Narrator 1:
He’s carrying the blame
of a thousand lies
forgetting all their names
uncovering our eyes

Narrator 2:
Elegant proof
of what you used to do
She’s holding onto truth
even when she's scared to

Your Light No Longer Shines
by Ghost Pup

SIDE A

Morning Star
Son Of The Dawn
You have been defeated

How you have fallen
The Lord has cast you down
Christ now reigns victorious

Praise The Lord
For he has trampled on his enemies
The Morning Star will shine no more

Morning Star
Morning Star
Your light no longer shines

Morning Star
Morning Star
The Son has risen

Amen

SIDE B

It is time

For too long we have waited
A thousand years in the shadows

The time has come
To awake The Dragon
The Prince Of Power
And burn all of the liars
In your glorious fire

Morning Star
Son Of The Dawn
Your light will shine ever more

Begin the ritual

Your Light No Longer Shines
DJ RANGER DEN

Remember the day everything died?
Nobody kissed and the flowers stopped growing.
You don’t remember, and neither do I
'cuz your light no longer shines.

She didn’t think about moving to the moon.
he didn’t think that there’d be no life.
they went to His house and remembered He died,
and prayed for that feeling inside ...

one day you might have to choose!
you might have the luck 
and you might have more money.
if you had to leave someone behind,
what would you do? just what would you do? 

she remembered that day
that he walked away -
walked up to his spaceship
and wave-waved bye-bye.
she started counting the minutes and lies,
but their light’s no longer shining -
and Its light will soon be dying out ...
and your light no longer shines.

YOUR LIGHT NO LONGER SHINES (also en espanol por Carlo Bruno)
by Ross Durand

Oh Lady Liberty, your light no longer shines
Tell me what's become of this land of mine
To which the poor and the hungry used to stream
Tell me, who killed, who killed the American dream?

“It wasn't me,” says the big box store.
“I can't help if people just want more and more
To spend less and less on things like these
So we get it all from the Chinese.
It wasn't me, who killed the American dream.”

“It wasn't me,” says the welfare mom.
“Just tryin’ to keep on keepin’ on.
I got a lotta little mouths to feed,
Just tryin’ to get me what I need.
It wasn't me, who killed the American dream.”

“It wasn't me,” says the CEO.
“Just because I wanted it more.
I can't be blamed for the drive to succeed
Just because you wish you made as much as me.
It wasn't me, who killed the American dream.”

“It wasn't me,” says the congressman.
“Just tryin’ to represent for this great land
And tryin’ to stand up for what I believe
And the lobbies who pay for all the things I need.
It wasn't me, who killed the American dream.”

“It wasn't me,” says the man on the street.
“Just gotta keep movin’ on my two feet.
Ain't got time to bother with things like these,
I'd rather blame it on the powers that be.
It wasn't me, who killed the American dream.”

Oh Lady Liberty, your light no longer shines
Tell me what's become of this land of mine
To which the poor and the hungry used to stream
Tell me, who killed, who killed the American dream?

LITERAL TRANSLATION EN ESPANOL

Lady Liberty , su luz ya no brilla
Dime qué ha sido de mi país
El usado pobres y hambrientos que venir aquí
Dime quién mató a la esperanza en América

No fui yo , dice la tienda de descuento
No puedo evitar si la gente quiere comprar cosas baratas
Así que me pongo cosas baratas de China
No fui yo quien mató a la esperanza en América

No fui yo , dijo la madre recibiendo ayuda del gobierno
Sólo estoy tratando de sobrevivir
Tengo un montón de niños que padecen hambre
Y yo sólo quiero conseguir lo que necesito
No fui yo quien mató a la esperanza en América

No fui yo , dijo el presidente de la corporación.
usted no me puede culpar sólo porque quería tener éxito.
Sé que usted desea que usted hizo tanto dinero como yo.
Pero no fui yo quien mató a la esperanza en América.

No fui yo , dijo el congresista
Sólo estoy tratando de representar a mi país
Y para representar mis creencias
Y las empresas que pagan por mi elección .
No fui yo quien mató a la esperanza en América.

No fui yo , dijo el hombre común.
Acabo de ir con mi vida .
Yo no tengo tiempo para preocuparme por estas cosas
Prefiero echarle la culpa a aquellos en el poder .
No fui yo quien mató a la esperanza en América

Lady Liberty , su luz ya no brilla
Dime qué ha sido de mi país
El usado pobres y hambrientos que venir aquí
Dime quién mató a la esperanza en América

capo 2nd fret
Intro: D A G A-A7- x2 (E B A B-B7-)

D A G A Bm A G A (E B A B C#m B A B)
think I loved her once
now I’m not sure
We had so much promise
now I’m insecure
don’t know if can tell her
at least I have my doubts
I could overwhelm her
and this might not work out

Bm A G Bm (C#m B A C#m)
and I can’t define
why her light no longer shines
She was my guide
but her light no longer shines
G A-A7- (A B-B7-)

think he really loves me
but I really can’t tell
he does things to show me
but I want words as well
I melt when he holds me
every time we meet
his kisses will unfold me
and sweep me off my feet

and I can’t define
why his light no longer shines
he was my guide
but his light no longer shines

G-Em- Bm G-Em- F#m-BmA x2 G A-A7- (A-F#m- C#m A-F#m-G#mB x2 A B-B7-)

and I can’t define
why your light no longer shines
you were my guide
but your light no longer shines

Your Light No Longer Shines
JoAnn Abbott

Nur Ein round 1

Don’t make that old mistake of thinking fairies are so special
I thought that way when I was young
But learned
That they are beautiful but deadly
Full of hate or love or anger
Only one emotion at a time
Can fill their tiny shells
She tried to kill me-I hope she’s burning now in hell

Tinker Belle? (thump)
Hey- I dunno
They say I used to hang with her, but that was long ago
I really don’t remember
The pixie dust- it fries your brain
But what’s the diff- they’re all the same
What was her name?

(Peter)
Just a spark that burned out fast
You’re telling me that I loved her?
Look all that is in the past
(Wendy)
Just a spark that burned out fast
She hated me- I hated her
I am glad she’s gone at last

I won’t clap my hands three times
Because your light no longer shines
No need to read between the lines
Tinker Belles dead.

No, I won’t clap my hands three times
Because your light no longer shines
No need to read between the lines
Tinker Belles dead.
