Since there is a first time for everything, and since music is something that I like above many other things. It's pretty hard for me to take 7 songs that I'm into, since I get new songs all the time. I took 7 songs from 7 bands I recently got.

List seven songs you are into right now, no matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your LiveJournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.

- Macbeth - Henceforth
- Mandragora Scream - Lifeless Haze
- Flowing Tears - Razorbliss
- Blutengel - In my dreams
- Delain - The Gathering
- Nemesea - In control
- Nightwish - the Islander (yes, it's indeed from the new album yet to be released)

Since the number 7 is the one chosen, these songs will be available for 7 days at:

Everyone has already been tagged, I tag vivisparrow :oP

Have fun...

Lullaby

O for a voice like thunder, and a tongue
To drown the throat of war! - When the senses
Are shaken, and the soul is driven to madness
Who can stand? When the souls of the oppressed
Fight in the troubled air that rages, who can stand?
When the whirlwind of fury comes from the
Throne of God, when the frowns of his countenance
Drive the nations together, who can stand?
When Sin claps his broad wings over the battle,
And sails rejoicing in the flood of Death;
When souls are torn to everlasting fire,
And fiends of Hell rejoice upon the stain.
O who can stand? O who hath caused this?
O who can answer at the throne of God?
The Kings and Nobles of the Land have done it!
Hear it not, Heaven, thy Ministers have done it!

Words by William Blake
Music by Loreena McKennitt

******************************************************************

These are words meant for us that stayed behind, for it doesn't matter what comes, we will stand.

We will stand together!

Never forget this my brother.
Never forget this my chosen family.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

The Crown And The Ring (Lament Of The Kings)
Manowar

From a battle I've come
To a battle I ride
Blazing up to the sky
Chains of fate
Hold a fiery stride
I'll see you again when I die

High and mighty alone we are kings
Whirlwinds of fire we ride
Providence brought us the crown and the ring
Covered with blood and our pride

Heroes await me
My enemies ride fast
Knowing not this ride's their last
Saddle my horse as I drink my last ale
Bow string and steel will prevail

High and mighty alone we are kings
Whirlwinds of fire we ride
Providence brought us the crown and the ring
Covered with blood and our pride

Odin I await thee
Your true son am I
I hail you now as I die
I pledge you my sword and to no man I kneel
Ours is the Kingdom Of Steel

High and mighty alone we are kings
Whirlwinds of fire we ride
Providence brought us the crown and the ring
Covered with blood and our pride

Final de semana foi surpreendente.

Sabado fui a um batizado que não vi, mas mesmo assim foi legal. A Alice estava otima.
Toda aquela comida japonesa, jornada de trocas no shopping e além da Janaina a presença mais do que especial dos meus amigos que puderam ir [Frini, Rafael] e o retorno do nosso advogado internacional [Ferreira, que também é meu amigo, mas ninguem fala isso] (Claro que os que nao puderam ir também sao meus amigos, mas como estou falando do jantar menciono os que estavam presentes). Definitamente nao tem preço.
Vejam fotos no LJ da Janaina. (depois atualizo isso aqui e coloco o link)

Domingo estivemos no torneio.
Elfo finalmente teve sua estreia em etapas cariocas, e o mais engraçado contra o mesmo adversario que o da minha estreia, um outro atleta de nosso clube. (e ainda arrumou tempo para sua crueldade criminosa)
Meu maior destaque foi entre meus adversarios ter a oportunidade de enfrentar novamente um que me venceu na etapa passada e poder vence-lo em um combate mais do que disputado, 5 a 4, resolvido apenas no final.
Alem dos momentos memoraveis do Ricardo e Ivan que tiveram particpações verdadeiramente brilhantes, realmente ficamos orgulhosos por eles, por isso adoro esse esporte.

Agora estou na dificil batalha de vencer a segunda-feira, que ja começou no primeiro obstaculo de sair da cama, estou pagando o preço por ter ficado na empolgação da torcida e nao ter me alongado.

Que venha a semana e que agosto tenha todos os finais de semana memoraveis como este.

The Power Of Thy Sword
Manowar

Lord of battle I pray on bended knee
conquest by the rising sun
I'll wait for thy command with flame and blood at hand
glory and a broken sword.

I'm the master of the world I have no fear of man or beast
Born inside the soul of the world
Riding hard breaking bone with steel and stone
Eternal might I was born to wield.

Let us drink to the battles we've lived and we've fought
Celebrate the pain and havoc we have wrought
Great heroes charge into the fight
From the north to the south in the black of night

The clash of honor calls to stand when others fall
Gods of war feel the power of my sword

Drink to the battles we've lived and we've fought
Celebrate the pain and havoc we have wrought
Great heroes charge into the fight
From the north to the south in the black of night

Fierce is my blade fierce is my hate
born to die in battle, I laugh at my fate
Now pay in blood when your blood has been spilled
You're never forgiven death is fulfilled !

The clash of honor calls to stand when others fall
Gods of war feel the power of my sword

The clash of honor calls
I will stand when others fall
Open magic doors
The will know the power of my sword

There is blood in my hands there is blood in my eyes
With blood in my voice I scream as you die
Thirsting for vengeance and mounds of the slain
Shaking the forest onto the plain

Fierce is my blade fierce is my hate
born to die in battle, I laugh at my fate
Now pay in blood when your blood has been spilled
You're never forgiven death is fulfilled !

The clash of honor calls to stand when others fall
Gods of war feel the power of my sword

****************************************************************

Apenas um chamado, porque este domingo pela manhã acontecerá a penultima etapa carioca de florete e estamos tentando um esquema pra ir uma boa quantidade de atletas do clube.
Não chega a ser um lugar com muito conforto para visitantes, mas é tranquilo, sendo assim quem tiver disposição e vontade é só falar.

I'm a ham. I was immediately attracted to fencing because it seemed like a romantic, melodramatic form of combat.
Bruce Dickinson

***************************************************************

Começou nesta quinta e se prolongará até domingo a mais uma competição nacional de esgrima, etapa carioca. Ao conversar com um amigo que teve a oportunidade de participar, fui capaz de observar fora de mim a mesma empolgação que tenho ao falar deste esporte. As palavras do sr. Dickinson descrevem ainda melhor este sentimento.

Foi uma hora de almoço bem aproveitada.
Pra variar não tivemos a presença do nosso amigo fanfarrão, aquele peasant que se julga um paladino, mas pelo desta vez foi justificado.

Percebo que finalmente estou encontrando as formas de arte pelo qual provalvemente irei me dedicar até o fim da vida, algumas outras estão em desenvolvimento, mas ficarão para outras postagens.

****************************************************************

Como nunca postei um teste antes, começarei por esse que se enquadra na temática:
(como deu empate nos resultados, melhor postar o menos tirano e manter a boa reputação)

You scored as Knight. A brave knight! You're a respectful character, and loyal too. You'll fight for those oppressed, and you might even live by a code. When others have transgressed upon your honor, you more than likely want to beat their face in with a morningstar. Honor is your motivator, but you serve under a lord or king because you look to others too much for guidance. If you want, change your title to "Sir" and tell everyone how cool you are. </td> Lord 75% Knight 75% Thief 44% Peon 38% Village Idiot 25% Your Role in a Medieval Society created with QuizFarm.com

Have fun!

Aproveite bastante o seu, e que voce colecione muitos "25/05", junto com varias outras coisas, como dinheiro, saude, felicidade, e amigos (esses com certeza voce já tem varios).

Beijos.

PS: Esse negocio de padrinho ainda vai render, quem já tem essa fama deveria ser eu, entao vou ter que bater no Elfo pra resolver. Como diria o Mestre, All too easy!!

Here's just a few of the changes I'll make
when mankind appoints me king of Planet Earth
So pass me my crown (my scepter and gown)
Hear the first proclamation of Martin the I

Leaders who lied so that innocents died
pretending to cry, they beg for One's pardon
Protest? (well they might) - when imapaled on spikes
on the grounds that surround Buckingham palace garden

If there is a world left for the meek to inherit,
these bastards would bomb it the moment they get it
Bogged down in a mire - lost all sight of their goals
thought they gained the whole world - they've forsaken their souls

"On with their heads!",I'm the clown prince of fools
"if you don't get the joke it's your loss"
Love and laughter you see are the new currency
'cause greed's coinage is not worth a toss

Preachers who teach us that god loves his children
instruct us to pray - and then prey on our kids
They'll not squeal with glee as the answer to me
placed in coffins of offal - I'll anil down their lids

There's still plenty of poisonous fish in the sea
rich with more complexes than vitamine B
If trawling for assholes you'll net a fine catch
with skulls full of saw dust (well I've got the match!)

"On with their heads!",hear my royal decree
"shut your mouth" - "it could open your mind"
What a chance there would be if someday we could see
one-eyed man in this land of the blind

"On with their heads!" now my word is the law
and your ignorant bliss is high treason
when the "thought-police" call for you, they will have a ball
cause the wise don't get mad they get even

"On with their heads!",I'm the clown prince of fools
"if you don't get the joke it's your loss"
Love and laughter you see are the new currency
'cause greed's coinage is not worth a toss

Crack-pot patricians - fascist politicians
wheelers and dealers - big-shot money makers
Mass redundancy down the frawd factory
now notice has been served on all liberty-takers

Those still unaware that a new age must dawn,
shall wake with their necks on the block come the morn
On my ferry to Styx everyone pays the toll
it's time to rock the boat - empty heads start to roll

"On with their heads!",hear my royal decree
"shut your mouth" - "it could open your mind"
What a chance there would be if someday we could see
one-eyed man in this land of the blind

"On with their heads!" now my word is the law
and your ignorant bliss is high treason
when the "thought-police" call for you, they will have a ball
cause the wise don't get mad they get even

[Lyrics: Martin Walkyier]
