Transcribed for the First Time Ever!

Many people say that it’s the way of life
I’m afraid I’m forced to agree
Oh, it’s not easy fighting with your hands all tied
I really need a break to breathe

I don’t think I have that much time
I need shelter where I can hide
Is it too late? Is it my fate
To stand in the cold and Rain?

Oh, I’ve been standing here so many times before
I’ve lost my count a long ago
I feel the weight of years, I think my mind is sore
Don’t know where the hell to go

Wherever I don’t think will be fine
The chill and wet comes deep from inside
I need a hand, ‘cuz I still stand
In the cold and Rain

Aren’t you wasting your precious time
I should be along my way, but no
I’m not afraid, I’m on my way
In the cold and Rain

Quorthon – Rain

I don’t know about you, but I like Quorthon’s solo work. Purity of Essence is good, but there’s just something about Album that makes me happy. It’s got such amazing songs like “No More and Never Again”, “Rain”, or my personal favorite:

In my eyes, indisposed
In disguise as no one knows
Hides the face, lies the snake
In the sun in my disgrace

Boiling heat, summer stench
Beneath the black the sky looks dead
Call my name through the cream
And I’ll hear you scream again

Black Hole Sun
Won’t you come?
And wash away the rain
Black Hole Sun
Won’t you come?
Won’t you come?

Won’t you come?

Stuttering, cold and damp
Steal the warm wind, tired friend
Times are gone for honest men
And sometimes far too long for snakes

In my shoes, a walking sleep
And my youth I pray to keep
Heaven send, Hell away
No one sings like you anymore

Black Hole Sun
Won’t you come?
And wash away the rain
Black Hole Sun
Won’t you come?
Won’t you come?

Black Hole Sun
Won’t you come?
And wash away the rain
Black Hole Sun
Won’t you come?
Won’t you come?

Black Hole Sun…
Black Hole Sun…
won’t you come?
Black Hole Sun…
Black Hole Sun…
won’t you come?
Black Hole Sun…
Black Hole Sun…
won’t you come?
Black Hole Sun…
Black Hole Sun…

Hang my head, drown my fear
Till you all just disappear

Black Hole Sun
Won’t you come?
And wash away the rain
Black Hole Sun
Won’t you come?
Won’t you come?

Black Hole Sun
Won’t you come?
And wash away the rain
Black Hole Sun
Won’t you come?
Won’t you come?

Black Hole Sun…
Black Hole Sun…
won’t you come?
Black Hole Sun…
Black Hole Sun…
won’t you come?
Black Hole Sun…
Black Hole Sun…
won’t you come?
Black Hole Sun…
Black Hole Sun…
won’t you come?
Black Hole Sun…
Black Hole Sun…
won’t you come?
Black Hole Sun…
Black Hole Sun…
won’t you come?

Won’t you come?

Soundgarden – Black Hole Sun

Well, I got up feeling so down
I got off being sold out
I’ve kept the movie rolling
But the story’s getting old now

Oh yeah

Well, I just looked in the mirror
And things aren’t looking so good
I’m looking California
And feeling Minnesota

Oh yeah

So now you know who gets mystified
So now you know who gets mystified

Show me the power, child
I’d like to say
That I’m down on my knees today
Yeah, it gives me the butterflies
Gives me away
Till I’m up on my feet again

Hey, I’m feeling…
Oh, I’m feeling…
Outshined, Outshined, Outshined, Outshined

Oh yeah!
Mmm…
Hey, yeah!

Someone let the dogs out
They’ll show you where the truth is
The grass is always greener
Where the dogs are shedding

Oh yeah

Well, I’m feeling that I’m sober
Even though I’m drinking
Well, I can’t get any lower
Still I feel I’m sinking!

Yeah, yeah!

So now you know who gets mystified
So now you know who gets mystified

Show me the power, child
I’d like to say
That I’m down on my knees today
Yeah, it gives me the butterflies
Gives me away
Till I’m up on my feet again

I’m feeling…
Oh, I’m feeling…
Outshined, Outshined, Outshined, Outshined

Mmm
Oh
, yeah
Ooh

Outshined! Oh! Oh! Oh…

So now you know who gets mystified

Show me the power, child
I’d like to say
That I’m down on my knees today
Yeah, it gives me the butterflies
Gives me away
Till I’m up on my feet again

I’m feeling…
I’m feeling…

Show me the power, child
I’d like to say
That I’m down on my knees today
Yeah, it gives me the butterflies
Gives me away
Till I’m up on my feet again

I’m feeling…
I’m feeling…

Outshined, Outshined, Outshined, Outshined

Soundgarden – Outshined

Well, I can still recall the first time
That I first laid my eyes on you
I can’t believe all the years that have passed since
Or just how little we then knew

But as the ways of fate would have it
Well, in the end we sure did meet
I am a man so high on this feeling
I feel like dancing in the streets

I’d hoped you somehow would have always known
Though I know I wouldn’t let it show
I can’t believe this is really happening
Please someone pinch me and ask me what day we have today
What day we’re having today

I’m sure that I would not reply
‘Cuz I would not if I was dreaming
Still it feels this good to be alive, uh-huh

‘Cuz when I look Deep into your big brown eyes
It’s like a flash outta clear blue sky
And then that gentle smile when your eyes meet mine
It’s like I loose all sense of time

Oh, how I wished for all these years, how I’ve longed 

How out of place all words will seem at times
It’s like we don’t need to talk at all
I get off quite alright from just looking into your eyes
From just looking into your eyes
From just looking into your eyes

It feels like I could surely fly
It happens every time you’re near me
This feels so good, it must be right, uh-huh

‘Cuz when I look Deep into your big brown eyes
It’s like a flash outta clear blue sky
And then that gentle smile when your eyes meet mine
It’s like I loose all sense of time

Oh, how I wished for all these years, how I’ve longed

I can’t believe I wished I’d died
That was before that you had called me
This feel so good it must be right, alright

‘Cuz when I look Deep into your big brown eyes
It’s like a flash outta clear blue sky
And then that gentle smile when your eyes meet mine
It’s like I loose all sense of time

‘Cuz when I look Deep into your big brown eyes
It’s like a flash outta clear blue sky
And then that gentle smile when your eyes meet mine
It’s like I loose all sense of time

Oh, how I wished for all those years, how I’ve longed
