Ich hatt einen Kamerade (The good comrade)
German lyrics:
Ich hatt’ einen Kameraden,
Einen bessern findst du nit.
Die Trommel schlug zum Streite,
Er ging an meiner Seite
In gleichem Schritt und Tritt.
Eine Kugel kam geflogen,
Gilt’s mir oder gilt es dir?
Ihn hat es weggerissen,
Er liegt mir vor den Füßen,
Als wär’s ein Stück von mir.
Will mir die Hand noch reichen,
Derweil ich eben lad.
Kann dir die Hand nicht geben,
Bleib du im ew’gen Leben
Mein guter Kamerad!'
English Translation I found:
I had a comrade,
A better one you will never find.
The drum called us to fight,
He walked on (by) my side,
In the same step and stride
In the same step and stride
A bullet came flying:
Meant for me, or for you?
He was torn away,
He lies at my feet,
As if a part of me
As if a part of me
His hand reaches up to hold mine,
While I reload my rifle.
"I cannot give you my hand,
You will stay in eternal life,
My good comrade"
My good comrade

My good comrade
You are the prisoner
And you are the guard
You are the one who constructed the bars
And despite this protection
You still end up scarred
Cos people are people
They are who they are
I was no better or worse than the fray
Who did conspire to take you and hide you away
But I never wanted you to suffocate
Or bury you under I never once said a...
Lie in your own bed
The one that you've made there
Wrap yourself up in the comfort of despair
That way you need never share
You'll never be forced to care
You can just sit there an stare
At your own beautiful hair
Because there's little else there
When your world comes crashing down
Don't ever think back
And don't remember me
And all the things we could have seen
Those days were long ago and things were different then
And when your world comes crashing down
Your looks have faded and only worry lines remain
Expression lost and drained
Your passions unfulfilled just an amply shell remains
And when, when your world comes
crashing down don't cry
Don't look down
You should dry
Those once pretty eyes
Cos you have lost the right
The right to cry
Hold me like you used to do again
Hold me like you used to do my friend
Again...
I was only saying
Perhaps I went too far
I was only praying
That you would invite me to your arms
I was only saying
Perhaps it's time for me to leave
I was only praying
That somehow you would look behind
my eyes and you would see
But you don't
I'm haunted by the things that we left behind
And try as I might I just can't get you out of my mind
You read all the wrong signs
Projection projection projection but they weren't right
You'll find given the time
That I was all of the things you were trying to find
I'm still exploring this artist, and some songs I don't enjoy. This one gets stuck in my head though and I love how creepy it sounds. I also found out they got their name from a tarot deck, they picked two cards at random and put them together. I thought that was kind of neat.

Tell me when was Jesus born
Last month of the year
Tell me when was Jesus born
Last month of the year
Tell me when was Jesus born
Last month of the year
Yeah, wasn't January, February, March, April or May
June, July, August, September, October, November
Was the 25th day of December
Was the last month of the year
He was born to the Virgin Mary

Scott Walker - On Your Own Again
I first heard this song on a documentary called: "Meeting People is Easy" 1997 if I'm correct - Radiohead music documentary. I just found it to be incredible for some reason, this song is quite powerful for the 1 minute 48 seconds that it lasts... I prefer not to post lyrics, as reading them without hearing the song takes it a bit out of context.
I have yet to explore other music by Scott Walker though besides this song.I always sing along to this song. Loudly. in fact I sing a long to it twice since the intro is long enough that you can sing the song before it gets to the first lyrics and the music is the same. Fun Times!
Richie is so weak that he almost can't be seen
Eck is tall and skinny like a string of runner beans
Simon can't walk properly, he has trays instead of feet
And Alan's nose is long and hooked like Jean-Luc's long hooked beak
But I am the perfect image of mankind,
made by God to remind him of his son
My back is straight like a straight white line,
Golden apples issued from the hole in my bum

Scott Walker is an amazing performer and a complete madman. If you listen to his new stuff it is like being teleported to another planet. how such a talented crooner could go so deep into weird experimental music is a site to behold. I will give you a taste but you can choose to ignore if you want lol
Just wow.... For now! 
I'll have to digest that for a while. I was looking through your playlist and found that Scott Walker song you posted actually. :p Scott Walker daaaaaammnnnn. Not sure what to think yet.

Not too many punk tracks out there you can really dance too like this one.
Johnny's got a light in his eyes and Shirley's got a light on her lips
Jakes got a monkeyshine on his head and Debra Ann's got a tiger in her hips
They can twist and turn they can move and burn
They can throw themselves against the wall
But they creep for what they need
And they explode to the call and then they move
Move
Sex beat, go
They're stupid like I told ya, very stupid like ya saw
Very stupid as the simple thought of ever thinking at all
And all their mind, all their souls all their bodies all we know
All we know all the things that should a made us whole
All the colourless security was all that someone could go and move, move
Sex beat, drop
And yes you do look cool and by the floodlights so blue
You make my tropical apartment bed, your sacrificial pool
My body in the water and my heart is in your hand
So this is the way you choose to send me to the judgement land
So you can't move, move oohh..sex beat, go
And every day I agree you throw me down by the christmas tree
I watched your lights blink on and off while you start your fun with me
I, I know your reasons and I, I know your goals
We can fuck forever but you will never get my soul
Just so you can move
So you can move
So you can move
So you can move so you can
Oohh... Sex beat

RWBY - Cold
I never felt that it was wise to wish too much
To dream too big would only lead to being crushed
Then I met you, you weren't afraid of anything
You taught me how to leave the ground, to use my wings
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I never thought a hero would ever come my way
But more than that, I never thought you'd be taken away
[Chorus]
Now it's cold without you here
It's like winter lasts all year
But your star's still in the sky
So I won't say goodbye
I don't have to say goodbye
[Verse 2]
My days of doubt were in the past with you around
You helped me feel I had a place, direction found
You showed me that a greater dream can be achieved
Enough resolve will conquer all if we believe
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The light you gave to guide me will never fade away
But moving forward never felt as hard as today
[Chorus]
Now it's cold without you here
It's like winter lasts all year
But your star's still in the sky
So I won't say goodbye
I don't have to say goodbye

Slowdive - Star Roving
Shoegaze I guess. :p
Looking forward to this album, though I haven't heard any previous Slowdive albums. Might buy it in a physical format (CD/Vinyl) later. I was already familiar with Simon Scott - He returns to Slowdive! He made my absolute favourite album of 2015, "Insomni" (I'll post a song of that another day). So I will for sure check out their entire discography.
Awesome. :o
Axes flash, broadsword swing,
Shining armour's piercing ring
Horses run with polished shield,
Fight Those Bastards till They Yield
Midnight mare and blood red roan,
Fight to Keep this Land Your Own
Sound the horn and call the cry,
How Many of Them Can We Make Die!
Follow orders as you're told,
Make Their Yellow Blood Run Cold
Fight until you die or drop,
A Force Like Ours is Hard to Stop
Close your mind to stress and pain,
Fight till You're No Longer Sane
Let not one damn cur pass by,
How Many of Them Can We Make Die!
Guard your women and children well,
Send These Bastards Back to Hell
We'll teach them the ways of war,
They Won't Come Here Any More
Use your shield and use your head,
Fight till Every One is Dead
Raise the flag up to the sky,
How Many of Them Can We Make Die!
Dawn has broke, the time has come,
Move Your Feet to a Marching Drum
We'll win the war and pay the toll,
We'll Fight as One in Heart and Soul
Midnight mare and blood red roan,
Fight to Keep this Land Your Own
Sound the horn and call the cry,
How Many of Them Can We Make Die!
