Another Irish Driking Song
By Da Vinci's Notebook
Gather 'round, ye lads and lasses, set ye for a while
And hearken to me mournful tale about the Emerald Isle
Let's all raise our glasses high to friends and family gone
An lift our voices in another Irish drinking song
Consumption took me mother and me father got the pox
Me brother drank the whiskey 'till he wound up in a box
Me other brother in the Troubles met with his demise
Me sister has forever closed her smilin' Irish eyes
Now everybody's died, so until our tears are dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink, and then we'll drink some more
We'll dance and sing and fight until the early mornin' light
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up and then go drinking once again
Ken was killed in Kilkenny and Claire, she died in Clare
Tip from Tipperary died out in the Derry air
Shannon jumped into the River Shannon back in June
Ernie fell into the urn, and Tom is in the tomb
"Cleanliness is godliness," me Uncle Pat would sing
He broke his neck a'slippin' on a bar of Irish Spring
O'Grady, he was eighty, though his bride was just a pup
He died upon the honeymoon when she got his Irish up
Now everybody's died, so until our tears are dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink, and then we'll drink some more
We'll dance and sing and fight until the early mornin' light
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up and then go drinking once again
(Mexican Hat Dance)
Joe Murphy fought with Reilly near the cliffs of old Doneen
He took out his shillelagh and he stabbed him in the spleen
Crazy Uncle Mike thought he was a leprechaun
In fact he's just a leper, and his arms and legs are gone
When Timmy Johnson broke his neck, it was a cryin' shame
He wasn't really Irish, but he went to Notre Dame
McNamara crossed the street and by a bus was hit
But he was just a Scotsman, so nobody gave a *bleep*
Now everybody's died, so until our tears are dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink, and then we'll drink some more
We'll dance and sing and fight until the early mornin' light
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up and then go drinking once again
(Jewish Song)
Me drunken Uncle Brendan tried to drive home from the bar
The road rose up to meet him when he fell out of his car
Irony was what befell me Great Grand-Uncle Sam
He choked upon the very last potato in the land
Connor lived in Ulster town, he used to smuggle arms
Until the British killed him and cut off his lucky charms
And dear old Father Flanagan, who left the Lord's employ
Drunk on sacramental wine, beneath the altar boy
Now everybody's died, so until our tears are dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink, and then we'll drink some more
We'll dance and sing and fight until the early mornin' light
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up and then go drinking once again
Someday soon I'll leave this world of pain and toil and sin
The Lord will take me by the hand to join all of me kin
Me only wish is, when the Saviour comes for me and you....
He kills the cast of Riverdance and Michael Flatley too
Now everybody's died, so until our tears are dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink, and then we'll drink some more
We'll dance and sing and fight until the early mornin' light
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up and then go drinking once again
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up and then go drinking once again
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up and then go drinking oonce aagaaaiin

Great idea, Zoray-face!
Owl City
Fireflies
~You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A fox trot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams~

God Hand Credits song rofl http://proteankungfu.com/video/show.php?id=233God or demon, what am I?
It's time for me to choose my path.
Power up my god hand.
No evildoer will get past.
Hand-to-hand or fist-to-fist.
Kicking nuts or twist your wrist.
God power keep my pimp hand strong.
So trust me or you won't last very long.
Dragon kick your a** into the milkyway!
Don't act like you don't like the ball buster!
My arm, my arm
my arm, my arm
my arm, my arm
will summon up the power of the god hand!
Lost a limb in a fight.
But don't worry babe I'll be cool.
The ultimate power of a god is now my secret tool.
My defenses are impregnable. My style is impetuous.
If it's too much I'll grovel at your feet.
I beg for mercy when I feel the heat.
Jaw-dropping attacks from my roulette wheel!
Apocalyptic beatdowns from the god hand!
My arm, my arm
my arm, my arm
my arm, my arm
will summon up the power of the god hand!
Everybody wants a piece.
Who's next? Don't be a fool.
Hyperactive fighting style,
so slick it'll make you drool.
God hand helps me work out my stress.
It's overpowering I must confess.
The only person who it doesn't work on,
is the girl who got me into this Olivia.
Slicing through thugs with my shockwave!
More beheadings than a guillotine, headslicer!
My arm, my arm
my arm, my arm
my arm, my arm
will summon up the power of the god hand!

England character song: Absolutely Invincible British Gentleman
The seven seas are like my back yard
Romance and plundering
I manage holiday houses in India and Hong-Kong
(Fuu~)
Tea is delicious!
I'll keep going in a gentleman-like fashion!
Being smart is important!
I'll show you my composure
From the cradle to the grave!
There are things I believe in!
Fairies, curses, ghosts, magic
My sarcasm is in good taste
Laugh, Laugh, go forward!
By reading the seven stars
I can predict the tomorrow
Curry, Chinese cuisine, my holiday houses meals
Meat pie is delicious!
I shrink away from uncivilized behavior
Both manners and tradition,
Wit is good as well
No pain, no gain!
Orders are orders!
I believe, that's right!
In phenomena, Busby's chair, predictions
Ancient ghost-summoning
My ultimate weapon, come forth!
[A simple diet is a gentleman's prudence
If problems arise, use some spices your way!]
[Don't say it tastes bad! That Roast Beef too is an English Cuisine!]
[Afternoon tea is the best!
By the way, putting in condensed milk is military style! ...isn't that right?]
All's well that ends well! That's right!
A winning army will not recognize defeat!
My sarcasm is in good taste
Laugh, Laugh, go forward!

Italy character song: Let's Boil Hot Water!
("Hey, this feeling inside me...you'll listen to me, won't you? To my huge...HUGE love... for pasta!")
I love pasta, you see!
Can't you understand what I'm saying?
But I want to say it over and over
Just because I really love it!
The world is made of
precious flour and water!
When I look up to the empty sky, I see lightly floating macaroni
The happiness of slowly savoring the taste... Come on, let's boil hot water!
"I'm a little tired, I'll relax by eating some pasta~"
The source of my energy
Durum semolina 100%
If I'm not feeling well, I don't worry about it
Tomorrow I'll power up 200%
A tomato box fairy will ("Wha!! I'm a tomato box fairy!!")
transform those tears into sauce!
When it stops raining I go see my friend, and pile up memories with ravioli
Since I want to see your smiling face... Come on, let's boil hot water!
When the two of us gaze at the sky, we see stelline glittering in the night sky
Encircle the perfect star... Come on, let's boil hot water!
Pasta, pasta, pasta, pasta, pasta
Pasta, pasta, pasta, pasta, pasta
Pasta, pasta, pasta, pasta, pasta...yay!

Japan character song: Excuse Me, I am Sorry
In a white sea, a red sun burns
Round planets float up like solitary islands
And still, the war
is not yet over....
Slender buildings crowd the cities
Matched with the blade of a long history
Only one can prevail
The combat continues...
I love everything new
I really really like what's fashionable
The minority can't control me
Excuse me, I am sorry
"I'm not saying I won't hand down my venerable traditions.
I know what the result of that would be."
Etiquette, restraint
The virtues of shame
Cherry trees, maple trees
The meaning of the seasons
My straight black hair
will be blond by tomorrow
After celebrating Christmas
The year ends and I go to the temple
This is how it usually is
Excuse me, I am sorry
Come in, come in to the bath.
Get out, get out when time's up.
Come in, come in to the bath.
Get out, get out when time's up.
I love kotatsu (heated tables) and mandarin oranges
I really really like Western cooking
I can't deny the Meiji Era
Excuse me, I am sorry
I love everything new
I really really like what's fashionable
The minority can't control me
Excuse me, I am sorry

Germany character song: Einsamkeit
Though I look like Im lecturing,
I'm actually just conversing
Forget it...
At times my face may look grim,
but I'm actually just cold
Though I don't mind it...
I take pride in work that needs delicacy,
but my fingers are fat
That's why
Even if I'm said to be "generally adequate",
strictly speaking
I don't understand
Loneliness
Loneliness
Loneliness
I want to be found
Though they say I eat only potatoes,
They're the same with soba and pasta
If the kitchen gets dirty and dark,
I have nowhere to cook
Loneliness
Loneliness
Loneliness
My heart is opening, I want to be set free
Because you are here, I can be myself
I'm always said to be scowling,
but my smiling face hasn't been erased
You may think I'm frightening,
but it's only because my face strains when I laugh
It's growing stronger
Loneliness

Japan character song: Country From Where the Sun Rises, Zipangu
I-ro-ha-ni-ho-he-to-chi-ri-nu-ru-wo
Land of the rising sun, Jinpangu
In my long history
There were times when I withdrew into myself
Compared to everyone else
I am very much an old man, floating in the Orient
To America-san's unreasonable demands
I raise my experience points and do my best every day
The color is incredible
I cannot eat it, but I end up receiving it anyway
I cannot keep up with young nations (people)
There are days when I think such things
But my warrior spirit, at least,
I have not forgotten
If it's miniaturization, please leave it to me
I am also offering one in each color
If it's two-dimensional, then the body will not be tainted
But the heart will be slightly tainted
I-ro-ha-ni-ho-he-to-chi-ri-nu-ru-wo
Land of the rising sun, Jipangu
As soon as I opened the country
I was astonished by the sudden changes
Western clothing and shoes, to the best of my ability!
But I immediately grew accustomed to them
("If I could have just ten years")
I am told to make myself clearer but
I think much more than others and
Therefore with just "yes" and "no"
I cannot say all that I would like to say.
If it's an arrangement, please leave it to me
Curry goes well with both bread and rice
Disgrace is extremely unbearable
Since it has come to this, I will commit seppuku... Oh?
Upon this ocean, I met a variety of countries and
The things I had held in such high esteem were completely overturned*
"In spring, it is the dawn; in summer, it is the night
In autumn, it is the evening; in winter, it is the early morning"
("Beneath the god who illuminates the sky
Our history, let us weave it for another thousand years")
Flowers are fragrant but they fall and scatter
When the moon is full it proceeds to wane
The fragrance of the four seasons' change is rich and varied
I like* this country
I-ro-ha-ni-ho-he-to chi-ri-nu-ru-wo
Land of the rising sun, Jipangu

Germany character song: Germany's Anthem (Whether this is really the anthem of Germany, I don't know. I'm just copying what it says. =w= I doubt it is though, what with the parts with the shouting at Italy. XD)
Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf
Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf
Something like justice
Or something like faith
Or something like love
Are things I always fight for
"Pay attention, Italy!! What are you doing!? Listen carefully!!"
Polish this room!
And don't whine about it!
Protect the order!
I am made in Germany!
Black and red and yellow are our pride!
Our passion!
Read every word through the manual!
I won't allow any exceptions!
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
I want to eat some wurst (ah, and beer too!)
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
And I want to eat it with some mustard
Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf
Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf
Straighten your back!
Cut the air with your right hand!
And put it to your brow!
I am made in Germany!
Hardship, endeavoring, and loyalty is our pride!
The standards of our mothers'!
Vacations are a waste of time!
I won't allow any shortcuts!
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
And I want to eat some potatoes too
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
I want to eat it chopped up!
Give me a full cry perfectly!
Advance over any obstacle!
Hail to the German blood!
A noble green line is our pride!
The water's surface of our fathers'!
I hold a strict doctrine absolutely!
I won't allow any compromise!
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
I want to eat some wurst (ah, and beer too!)
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
And I want to eat it with some mustard.
"Listen up! No matter what happens on the battlefield don't lose focus!
Don't boil pasta!
Don't bake pizza!
Hold on to your pride and endure! That's all!"

Maru Kaite Chikyuu: Holy Roman Empire version
Oi oi, Vati, I love that child
Oi oi, Mutti, listen to this, Mutti
The deck brush that child gave to me
Is the thing I treasure most
Draw a circle for the world
Draw a circle for the world
Draw a circle for the world
I'm the Holy Roman Empire
Draw a circle for the world
Take a good stare at the world
Could it be the world?
I'm the Holy Roman Empire
Aah, with just a stroke of a paintbrush
A wonderful world can be seen
All kinds of people come and go
From my house
"O-Oi, Italy..."
"Won't you join me and become the Roman Empire?"
Draw a circle for the world
Draw a circle for the world
Draw a circle for the world
I'm the Holy Roman Empire
Draw a circle for the world
The happy world
The spinning, tumbling world
I'm the Holy Roman Empire
Aah, I remember
The time I spent together with that child
Sorry I made you eat
That bad food
"You follow me when I run away."
"Even though you run away when I follow."
"I've always loved that child since the 900's."
That's right, Vati, I'm not lying
Naa naa, Mutti, listen to this, Mutti
The deck brush that child gave to me
Is the thing I treasure most
"Italy, I love you!"
"I love you!"
"No matter what...I love you..."
Draw a circle for the world
The sorrowful world
The 'I want to see you', world
I'm the Holy Roman Empire
Aah, a world that shines further with light
The more I think about it
Until the fighting's over,
I'll endure
Aah, I'll never forget
The warmth of that child's hand
No matter how many years pass,
I love you the most in the world

Maru Kaite Chikyuu: Chibitalia version
Hey, hey, will we have pasta at meals?
Hey, hey, Mamma, hey, hey, Mamma
From the time I ate bolognese
I cant forget the taste~
Draw a circle, its the world
Draw a circle, its the world
Draw a circle, its the world
Im Chibitalia!
Draw a circle, its the world
Draw a circle, its the world
Draw a circle, its the world
Im Chibitalia!
Ah, the beautiful world
That can be seen with one stroke of a paintbrush
On Grandpa Romes lap,
Ill paint!
Isnt drawing pictures fun?
There is a very Renaissance feeling...
Draw a circle, its the world
Draw a circle, its the world
Draw a circle, its the world
Im Chibitalia!
Draw a circle, its the world
The world that looks like a ball!
The world that goes pon pon!
Im Chibitalia!
Ah, because of my clumsiness,
I often get scolded, but...
Austrias piano performance,
I love it!
Hey, hey, will we have pasta at meals?
Huh? We wont? Why, why?!
Well then, Grandpa, peace is good, right?
Being cover in scars is...
YAAAH~
I tried wearing Hungarys clothes!
Holy Roman, look, look! Does it suit me?
Haaa...Isn't there any pasta around?
Huh? In a place like that, a meal...
Lets eat~!
Huh? Ah...Tastes bad...
Draw a circle, its the world
Draw a circle, its the world
Draw a circle, its the world
Im Chibitalia!
Ah, the beautiful world
That can be seen with one stroke of a paintbrush
The memories of me and Holy Roman
are the best
Definitely, well meet again!
Ah, you use
The deck brush I gave you!
Youre going far, far away
And itll go with you
Ill be waiting with lots of sweets, okay?

Deathmask Divine by The Black Dahlia Murder
Removal of the eyes gives my heart a saddened chill
I preserve them in formaldehyde to gaze upon at will
How their greenish flecks befell me that starlit winter's night
I lost all that I ever was while locked within their sight
Before you sits a broken man, your fragile pinkish heart in hand
Peculiar how it can hurt so bad while love is only in the mind
I sew the gaping chestwound, each thread is made with love
The bosom where I would rest my face is covered in your blood
No
This is not the end,
You'll live on eternally
Oh
Lord it's not the end,
My secret you'll forever be
I interrupt this transformation, A familiar lust swelling in me
A long and soulful kiss, the shades are drawn, the living world can't see
The coil of entrails, how curious the smell, so pungent to my eager nostrils
Hands further compelled
No
It's not the end
Forever you'll be in my arms.
I could never let you go
My darling, cold and blue
I wonder are you dreaming still
Spread eagled, blood removed
I weave the sucking trocar
beneath your bruising skin
tonight I'll lay beside you darling
In necromantic sin
Pinned to the bed sheets like a priceless butterfly you're mine
I hear your voice, so precious, echoing deeply inside
I did my best to love you while you did live and breathe
This tender taxidermy trophy of the bereaved.
I could never let you go
My darling, cold and blue
I wonder are you dreaming still
Spread eagled, blood removed
I weave the sucking trocar
beneath your bruising skin
tonight I'll lay beside you darling
In necromantic sin

Intermission - The Protomen
My dearest Emily,
Tonight will mark the end of a life long dream of mine. The completion of a labor I began as a child, even before I knew the words for it... before I knew the ways to accomplish such a task. And even now my heart is heavy with dread. I fear I've built a great and powerful evil. Or rather, together, Albert and I have built it. I know that I am to blame. I allowed Albert to persuade me to change the designs. I allowed this perversion of my course. This new machine that we've built is unlike any I ever imagined. It looks... like a man. A lifeless steel man. Albert convinced me that even with the new Geological Unmanned Terraforming System we designed, the task of extracting the ore is still too dangerous for a human. He plans to completely replace human workers in the mining sector. The idea of displacing so many men... the annihilation of countless jobs in the name of safety seems an unbalanced trade off. What is worse, the latest prototypes have been revised to carry small firearms. Emily, I fear that I have put you and this entire city in danger. I will speak to him tonight on the matter. Perhaps I can persuade him to scrap the whole project. In the meantime, please be careful. This world is getting darker all the time. I weep at the thought of something terrible happening to you. I could not bear it.
All my love,

In a workshop in a building overlooking the city, two great men argued over whether or not to turn the wheels.
Light:
My father worked the mines, until the day it took his life.
It stole him from his only son, and it stole him from his wife.
And I swore upon his grave, someday I would make things right.
So I learned how to bend steel, I learned how to make it move.
And I watched as it withstood all the hell we put men through.
With hands of iron, there's not a task we couldn't do.
They've waited so long for this day,
Someone to take the death away,
No son would ever have to say
"My father worked into his grave."
Wily:
Tom, listen to yourself, then listen carefully to me.
If you replace the working parts, you get a different machine.
The man who turns the wheels, they will follow
Anywhere he leads.
We've spent our whole lives searching
For a way to make a better world.
Giving everything to them, asking nothing in return.
Well here it is: our chance to take back everything we've earned.
Light: They've waited so long for this day (Wily: They've waited so long for this day)
Someone to take the death away (There is no price they wouldn't pay)
No son would ever have to say (For someone else to lead them)
"My father worked into his grave." (Don't turn your back on me!)
Light walked slowly to the window overlooking the city. He knew he had no choice but to turn on the machines. They'd come so far. To turn back now would be failure. Failure of his promise to the city. Failure of the promise to his father. Failure of the promise he'd made to himself.
What will I become, with the things I will create?
I never said that men should bow, I never said that men should break
I only want what's best.
The one I love, she works so hard, works her fingers till they bleed.
Some of the pain that she endures would bring a strong man to his knees.
I only want to help.
(You are a fool.) You underestimate the character of man.
(They are weaker than you think) You think that they'll surrender if you bind their working hands.
But they are strong (Just wait and see.)
We will build cities in a day (Man would cower at the sight)
We will buld towers to the heavens (Man was not built for such a height)
We will be heroes! (We will BUILD heroes!)
Tom reluctantly reached out his hand to the wall and pulled the large metal lever. For miles, lights flickered under the sudden strain as the machines were brought to life.
They've waited so long for this day,
Someone to take the death away,
No son would ever have to say
"My father worked into his grave."
We'll sleep tonight with hands of bone, we will wake with hands of steel
With these hands we will destroy, and with these hands we will rebuild
We will stand above our city, rising high above the streets
From tops of buildings we will look at all the lives beneath our feet
We will raise our hands above us, cold steel shining in the sun
With these hands that will not bleed, my father's battle will be won!
As Thomas Light left the workshop, descended the stairs, and walked out in the cold night air, his partner surveyed the machines they had spent their ives creating. His gaze shifted from one pair of lifeless eyes to the next, until he came upon a single red light shining through the blacked-out, blast shield of a dark green helmet. He shuddered. This was the new face of fear. He quickly turned to exit, the machine striding stoically behind. The two men were headed to the same place.
Thomas Light walked slowly through the darkened streets. His mind was racing. His decision, right or wrong, had been made. Nothing could undo it now. He spoke to himself in hurried, rushed tones, weighing the consequences of his actions. A familiar automobile passed him in the darkness. He was too lost in thought to take notice.
