new music on my ears

ICED EARTH's new album "The Glorious Burden" is what am listening to right on..the music is gud rather strong..lately have been exposed to new music especially death metal and more of grunge. My music is growing louder and heavier, but isn't it an irony that the amount of music i get to hear is pretty less(measured in hours per week) as compared to whnat i have been exposed to in the past....

Its kind of a war album..and makes me think on the lines of how can some one go to the heights of bravery and what drives men to do what we can not even imagine and feel simulated to even read about. How do armies composed of humble soldiers who are just ordianry men do such daredevil acts of bravely, their valor...always leaves me staring blank...thinking and thinking more..

Just read about the 1st July, 1863 the so called American Independence Day, could not derive much of it but stil what i could make sense of was something each american must feel proud of...



the lyrics for the new album are available at

N for the one i liked the most the lyrics are as follows

Track 8. Hollow Man

Emptiness, consuming me
Head in hands, I can hardly speak
Looking for solitude
Lost in humanity
True knowledge leads to suffering
A constant quest an endless dream
Searching for inner peace
Hidden so deep in me

Don't wanna be a hollow man
Ain't gonna be the hollow man

Sadness comes knocking constantly
Filling up my eyes, for all to see
Peace will come someday
I pray that it finds a way
Darkness caressing my mind and soul
My spirits rejecting, I'm feeling whole
Emptiness goes away
Fills with the light of day

Don't wanna be a hollow man
Ain't gonna be the hollow man

I rise up like the pheonix
from the ashes of an older way
With wisdom gained, I turn away
I turned away
Hollow man find yourself some other Plan

Don't wanna be a hollow man
Ain't gonna be the hollow man


Must hear are the three sequal tracks of the album namely The Devil To Pay, Hold At All Costs and High Water Mark
