Lyrics:

01. Aiden - Die Romantic

You can illustrate your life in romance
But I can show you something so much more than words in my hands
It's not your best intention now to burn your friends
This is your last night
This is your last chance in my hands

Die romantic, romantic
This is the nightmare, we fall asleep
Die romantic, romantic
This is the nightmare, we die complete
Die romantic, romantic
Tonight's the night and it's all we need now
To die romantic

I sat and watched your heartbeat fade with every breath
I watched your lips turn blue
Your eyes went cold and all, with all the rest
I felt the panic and tried to breathe
Is this happening?
I've fucking had it
God, save me please
'Cause I don't think she'll make it through the night

Die romantic, romantic
This is the nightmare, we fall asleep
Die romantic, romantic
This is the nightmare, we die complete
Die romantic, romantic
Tonight's the night and it's all we need now
To die romantic
Die romantic, romantic
This is the nightmare, we fall asleep
Die romantic, romantic
This is the nightmare, we die complete
Die romantic, romantic
Tonight's the night and it's all we need now
To die romantic

Your last words to me
"Tonight's the night"
Meant redemption is only found in books
Your last words to me
"Tonight's the night"
Meant redemption was harder than it looks
So take care of what you love
And all this stuff are remnants of a life in shattered glass
It's all I have to ask

I miss you
I miss you

You can illustrate your death in romance
I can show you something so much more than words in my hands
I felt the dead-end price you pay for every day
This is your last night
Suicide kept tight
You're gone tonight

Die romantic, romantic
This is the nightmare, we fall asleep
Die romantic, romantic
This is the nightmare, we die complete
Die romantic, romantic
Tonight's the night and it's all we need now
To die romantic
Die romantic, romantic
This is the nightmare, we fall asleep
Die romantic, romantic
This is the nightmare, we die complete
Die romantic, romantic
Tonight's the night and it's all we need now
To die romantic

Die romantic
Die romantic
Die romantic
Die romantic
Die romantic
Die romantic tonight

02. Seanan McGuire - Some Girls

Some girls like the vampires
Sexual simulation
Some girls like the warlocks
All rituals and incantations
Some girls like the werewolves
You know they're flirting with lycanthropy

But none of those late-night creature features
Ever did a single thing for me

Some girls like the swamp things
They say that gills have hidden uses
Some girls like the psychos
They're seeking serial abuses
Some girls like the phantoms
They want a lover clear as cellophane

But if you wanna knock me clean off my head
Baby, better rustle up the living dead
'Cause the only guy I wanna find in my bed
Is the guy that wants to eat my brain

Some girls like the mummies
Bondage has its own appeal
Some girls like the robots
They're looking for a man of steel
Some girls like the spacemen
They go where no man's ever gone before

But all of those macho midnight monsters
Always struck me as an awful bore

Some girls like the creatures
Although assembly's required
Some girls like the madmen
They say true love should be inspired
Some girls like the hunchbacks
They're only looking for a willing slave

But if wanna watch as I sigh and swoon
Baby, just forget about the Black Lagoon
'Cause the only guy who's ever gonna sing my tune
Is the guy who's risen from the grave

It's not an ordinary kind of kink, I know
But now that it's caught hold of me, it won't let go
My Casanova's waiting six feet below
For a girl with excavation in mind
You can call it necrophilia and say it's vile
I just know I wanna do it George Romero-style
It's a special sort of craving and I'd walk a mile
For the stiffest guy I'm likely to find

Some girls like the mutants
I guess that they don't mind it messy
Some girls like the legends
Flirting with the likes of Nessie
Some girls like the demons
They want to lay down on the dotted line

But if you wanna please me all night and day
Baby, then I know you're gonna find a way
To find the kind of fellow who just won't decay
And you know I wanna make him mine

I'll be off of my head at the dawn of the dead
And when reason has fled, I'll try madness instead
And the only kind of guy that I want in my bed
Is the guy who wants to eat my brain

03. Good Charlotte - My Bloody Valentine

Oh, my love
Please don't cry
I'll wash my bloody hands
And we'll start a new life

I ripped out his throat
And called you on the telephone
To take off my disguise
Just in time to hear you cry when you

You mourn the death of your bloody Valentine
The night he died
You mourn the death of your bloody Valentine
One last time

Singin'
Oh, my love
Please don't cry
I'll wash my bloody hands
And we'll start a new life
I don't know much at all
I don't know wrong from right
All I know is that I love you tonight

There was police and flashing lights
The rain came down so hard that night
And the headlines read "a lover died"
No tell-tale heart was left to find when you

You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
The night he died
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
One last time

Singin'
Oh, my love
Please don't cry
I'll wash my bloody hands
And we'll start a new life
I don't know much at all
I don't know wrong from right
All I know is that I love you tonight
Tonight

He dropped you off, I followed him home
Then I, I stood outside his bedroom window
Standing over him, he begged me not to do
What I knew I had to do, 'cause I'm so in love with you

Oh, my love
Please don't cry
I'll wash my bloody hands
And we'll start a new life
I don't know much at all
I don't know wrong from right
All I know is that I love you tonight
Tonight

04. Zombie Girl - Creature Of The Night

I am alone here in darkness
I embrace the night
Staring up at the sky
I can't help wonder why
Nobody's daring to love me
'Cause what I am
A creature of the night
I've never seen the night

Please help me understand why I have to be all alone
Why can't somebody love me?
Please come and set me free
I will be here for you, take care of you through all the nights
Why can't somebody love me?
Please come and set me free

I am a creature of night
No love for me inside
I am a creature of night
There's no love for me inside

I will be lost here forever
Underneath the stars
Waiting for the one
Before the rising sun
It's getting colder
Inside I smoulder
And all I hear them say is "evil lies within her"
(Getting colder,
I smoulder)

Please help me understand why I have to be all alone
Why can't somebody love me?
Please come and set me free
I will be here for you, take care of you through all the nights
Why can't somebody love me?
Please come and set me free

I am a creature of night
No love for me inside
I am a creature of night
There's no love for me inside
I am a creature of night
No love for me inside
I am a creature of night
There's no love for me inside

(Colder, smoulder
Colder, smoulder)

05. Ludo - The Horror Of Our Love

I'm a killer, cold and wrathful
Silent sleeper, I've been inside your bedroom
I've murdered half the town
Left you love-notes on their headstones
I'll fill the graveyards until I have you

Moonlight walking, I smell your softness
Carnivorous and lusting to track you down among the pines
I want you stuffed into my mouth
Hold you down and tear you open
Live inside you
Love, I'd never hurt you
But I'll grind against your bones until our marrows mix
I will eat you slowly

Oh, the horror of our love
Never so much blood pulled through my veins
Oh, the horror of our love
Never so much blood

I wake in terror, blackbirds screaming
Dark cathedrals spilling midnight on their altars
I'm your servant, my immortal
Pale and perfect, such unholy heaving
The statues close their eyes
The room is changing
Break my skin and drain me

Ancient language, speak through fingers
The awful edges where you end and I begin
Inside your mouth I cannot see
There's catastrophe in everything I'm touching
As I sweat and crush you
And I hold your beating chambers until they beat no more
You die like angels sing

Oh, the horror of our love
Never so much blood pulled through my veins
Oh, the horror of our love
Never so much blood

You're a ghost, love, nightgown flowing
Your body blue and walking along the continental shelf
You are a dream among the sharks, beautiful and terrifying
Lit and restless
We dance in dark suspension
And you bury me in the ocean floor beneath you
Where they'll never hear a scream

Oh, the horror of our love
Never so much blood pulled through my veins
Oh, the horror of our love
Never so much blood

06. Lordi - The Night Of The Loving Dead

Now beware the streets tonight
Lay low till the sunrise
The undead Casanovas hunt for love
Lock the doors, drop the blinds
Keep quiet and stay inside
But nothing helps when push comes to shove

Bequeath the loving
My body's cold
I take you in my coffin
Where you can kiss my bones

On the Night of the Loving Dead
Love the unliving
No skins attached
On the Night of the Loving Dead
The Night of the Loving Dead

Dressing sharp, au naturel
Looking drop dead gorgeous
Sins of the rotten flesh for you to hold
My caress is terminal
'Cause one touch is torture
There's no way in hell I'd let you go

Bequeath the loving
My body's cold
I take you in my coffin
Where you can kiss my bones

On the Night of the Loving Dead
Love the unliving
No skins attached
On the Night of the Loving Dead
The Night of the Loving Dead

Six feet underground
If I had a heart you would make it pound
You make the dead come alive

On the Night of the Loving Dead
Love the unliving
No skins attached
On the Night of the Loving Dead
Love the unliving
No skins attached

On the Night of the Loving Dead
Love the unliving
No skins attached
On the Night of the Loving Dead
The Night of the Loving Dead

07. Machine Gun Fellatio - Girl Of My Dreams (Is Giving Me Nightmares)

The girl of my dreams is giving me nightmares
I found her on TV, now I see her everywhere
She's got style, she's got violent ways about her
She got me so that I can't dream without her
She's giving me nightmares
She's giving me nightmares
She's giving me nightmares
She's giving me nightmares

My bedside is loaded
My bedside's exploded
Hard to believe you can't get what you're dreaming
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you steal

The girl of my dreams is giving me nightmares
I don't know what it means but she's got multi-coloured hair
When she stands in the sand, I dream of peaches
And I'm not sure what that means, either
She's giving me nightmares
She's giving me nightmares
She's giving me nightmares
She's giving me nightmares

People keep on staring
People keep on staring
And it's one flat pick to get started
It's two flat pick to get started
My ceiling is on fire
My feelings are on fire
Hard to believe you can't get what you're dreaming
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you steal

The girl of my dreams is giving me nightmares
And someone wrote a message on my balls
My breakdown is coming running
Seeing's bleeding and bleeding's believing
My ceiling is on fire
My feelings are on fire
My feelings
My feelings
My feelings are on fire
Hard to believe you can't get what you're dreaming
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you steal
You get what you steal

08. Horrorpops - Walk Like A Zombie

You walk like a zombie
You talk like a zombie
It's not in your head
You're a living dead
Whatever you're gonna do
You're gonna make me cry

You walk like a zombie
(You make me wanna cry)
You talk like a zombie
It's not in your head
You're a living dead
Whatever you're gonna do
You're gonna make me cry

And you wanna hold hands in the cemetery
And you wanna be lost for all eternity
And everything's dark and kind of scary
And you crave the full moon
But I don't care
And you want a mountaintop with a little castle
And you wanna name our kids Morticia and Fester
And all the flowers you bring are always dead
And you howl at the moon
But I don't care

Six feet under
You make me wonder
You wanna be undead
So you can be hunted
Whatever you're gonna do
I'm gonna follow you

Six feet under
(You make me wanna follow you)
You make me wonder
You wanna be undead
So you can be hunted
Whatever you're gonna do
I'm gonna follow you

And you wanna hold hands in the cemetery
And you wanna be lost for all eternity
And everything's dark and kind of scary
And you crave the full moon
But I don't care
And you want a mountaintop with a little castle
And you wanna name our kids Morticia and Fester
And all the flowers you bring are always dead
And you howl at the moon
But I don't care

And you wanna hold hands in the cemetery
And you wanna be lost for all eternity
And everything's dark and kind of scary
And you crave the full moon
But I don't care
And you want a mountaintop with a little castle
And you wanna name our kids Morticia and Fester
And all the flowers you bring are always dead
And you howl at the moon
But I don't care

09. Jonathan Coulton - Skullcrusher Mountain

Welcome to my secret lair on Skullcrusher Mountain
I hope that you've enjoyed your stay so far
I see you've met my assistant Scarface
His appearance is quite disturbing
But I assure you he's harmless enough
He's a sweetheart, calls me master
And he has a way of finding pretty things and bringing them to me

Oh, and I'm so into you
But I'm way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I'm crazy
I'm not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way
To be a little bit less afraid of me
You'd see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn't kill you yet

I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you
But I get the feeling that you don't like it
What's with all the screaming?
You like monkeys, you like ponies
Maybe you don't like monsters so much
Maybe I used too many monkeys
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?

Oh, and I'm so into you
But I'm way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I'm crazy
I'm not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way
To be a little bit less afraid of me
You'd see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn't kill you yet

Picture the two of us alone inside my golden submarine
While up above the waves my doomsday squad ignites the atmosphere
And all the fools who live their foolish lives may find it quite explosive
Well, it won't mean half as much to me if I don't have you here

You know, it isn't easy living here on Skullcrusher Mountain
Maybe you could cut me just a little slack
Would it kill you to be civil?
I've been patient, I've been gracious
And this mountain is covered with wolves
Hear them howling, my hungry children
Maybe you should stay and have another drink
And think about me and you

Oh, 'cause I'm so into you
But I'm way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I'm crazy
I'm not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way
To be a little bit less afraid of me
You'd see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn't kill you yet
I shouldn't kill you yet
I shouldn't kill you yet
I shouldn't kill you yet

10. Rammstein - Stirb Nicht Vor Mir

DEUTSCH

Die Nacht öffnet ihren Schoß
Das Kind heißt Einsamkeit
Es ist kalt und regungslos
Ich weine leise in die Zeit
Ich weiß nicht wie du heißt
Doch ich weiß dass es dich gibt
Ich weiß dass irgendwann
Irgendwer mich liebt

He comes to me every night
No words are left to say
With his hands around my neck
I close my eyes and pass away

I don't know who he is
In my dreams he does exist
His passion is a kiss
And I can not resist

Ich warte hier
Don't die before I do
Ich warte hier
Stirb nicht vor mir

I don't know who you are
I know that you exist
Stirb nicht
Sometimes love seems so far
Ich warte hier
Your love I can't dismiss
Ich warte hier

Alle Häuser sind verschneit
Und in den Fenstern Kerzenlicht
Dort liegen sie zu zweit
Und ich
Ich warte nur auf dich

Ich warte hier
Don't die before I do
Ich warte hier
Stirb nicht vor mir

I don't know who you are
I know that you exist
Stirb nicht
Sometimes love seems so far
Ich warte hier
Your love I can't dismiss
Stirb nicht vor mir

ENGLISH

The night opens her lap
The child's name is loneliness
It is cold and motionless
I cry softly into time
I don't know what your name is
But I know that you exist
I know that some time
Someone will love me

He comes to me every night
No words are left to say
With his hands around my neck
I close my eyes and pass away

I don't know who he is
In my dreams he does exist
His passion is a kiss
And I can not resist

I wait here
Don't die before I do
I wait here
Don't die before I do

I don't know who you are
I know that you exist
Don't die
Sometimes love seems so far
I wait here
Your love I can't dismiss
I wait here

All the houses are covered in snow
And candlelight in the windows
They lie there together
And I
I only wait for you

I wait here
Don't die before I do
I wait here
Don't die before I do

I don't know who you are
I know that you exist
Don't die
Sometimes love seems so far
I wait here
Your love I can't dismiss
Don't die before I do
