Iced Earth

And so we begin with another sun
The earth's enslaved with hypocrites
They lay their heads to rest at night
Say a little prayer and all is right

Christ it's nothing personal
You've got to see
They twist and turn your words
For their own needs
They're brainwashed puppets
The almighty crutch
Cowards of reality
And their dying love

Living life in total lies
Judging others
Believe that I say or burn in hell
Bow down your head
You won't feel so bad
Do as I say or burn in hell

Close your eyes, look deep inside
Master of the ignorant
Master of the lies
Judgment day is close at hand
Generate that blasphemy
Master of the damned

Lies

Now behind your reflection
Lies the one who knows the truth
Your conscience will condemn you
On judgment day you'll lose

It seems very odd to me
How you sin and feel so free
And all you have to do is say
Forgive me ... I believe

Lies, foolish lies
Behind your brainwashed eyes
Lies, foolish lies
Behind your brainwashed eyes

Judge me not my shallow friend
Lest ye be judged yourself
You abuse the words you preach
You mold them for yourself
Brainwashed hypocrisy
Justifies the life you lead
Forgive me father I have sinned
Lay my head to rest again

Living life in total lies
Judging others
Believe what I say or burn in hell
Trust in me, say yes I believe
Do it now or burn in hell
 
This guy is decided to explore all the possible lows in intellectual and moral life.
I think he is becoming embarrasing, really. And I assume that from a European's point of view, where religion is not so important, it's even worse.

"...but I believe in this and it's been tested by research
He who fucks nuns will later join the church..."
 
I don’t have a doubt in my mind that he’s “found Jesus” as his only way of saving face. What an absolute piece of shit.

A brainwashed, traitorous coward through and through. And, more importantly for this forum, he hasn’t written anything worth hearing in decades.
 
I have never cared for D&W.

* sad Hansi noises *

IRYO, it's just that I actually came to Schaffer through D&W first, through Blind Guardian and Hansi... and only much later I've decided to finally bruteforce it and delve deep into IE, whom I hadn't liked much before.

Ironically, I actually mainly got into IE around and after the Capitol riot - because people who really loved IE were lamenting the loss of their favourite artist and I wanted to finally understand what it is that they're losing.

38 vocal layers of Hansi crying over 27 guitars, a full orchestra, 3 keyboards, bass and drums?

We had the exact opposite experience. I only delved into Blind Guardian last year after being an Iced Earth fan from the late 90s/early 2000s.

It's unfortunate that Jon gained a new listener for it.
 
Did someone on here say that insurrectionists should be hanged?

Sorry, my bad, you're right. I went back and re-read that and Det Beau was talking about other criminals instead, it just got a bit lost in that extensive sidetrack about US politics this thread has turned into.
Again, sorry, I'm stupid for not reading that carefully.

We can absolutely be certain Detective didn't say J6 rioters should be hanged, unless he was talking about a medal of valor hanging around their neck.

It's all good.

Well, not everyone has the courage to follow their dreams, to stop merely complaining behind the keyboard and go and do something about the state of the world today... in other words, to seize the day... and the government too, when you're at it...

...and when you do so, you should cap it all on camera, for posterity.
You get it?
Cap it all on camera!
CAP IT ALL!

:ninja:

Anyway, back to music, lads.
