    I always thought Linkin' Park's In the End reminds ME of waking up from years of waiting.

    It starts with
    One thing I don't know why
    It doesn't even matter how hard you try
    Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
    To explain in due time

    All I know
    Time is a valuable thing
    Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
    Watch it count down to the end of the day
    The clock ticks life away

    It's so unreal
    Didn't look out below
    Watch the time go right out the window
    Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
    Or wasted it all just to watch you go

    I kept everything inside
    And even though I tried, it all fell apart
    What it meant to me will eventually be
    A memory of a time when

    I tried so hard and got so far
    But in the end it doesn't even matter
    I had to fall to lose it all
    But in the end it doesn't even matter

    One thing, I don't know why
    It doesn't even matter how hard you try
    Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
    To remind myself how

    I tried so hard
    In spite of the way you were mocking me
    Acting like I was part of your property
    Remembering all the times you fought with me
    I'm surprised

    It got so far
    Things aren't the way they were before
    You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
    Not that you knew me back then
    But it all comes back to me in the end

    You kept everything inside
    And even though I tried, it all fell apart
    What it meant to me will eventually be
    A memory of a time when

    I tried so hard and got so far
    But in the end it doesn't even matter
    I had to fall to lose it all
    But in the end it doesn't even matter

    I've put my trust in you
    Pushed as far as I can go
    And for all this
    There's only one thing you should know

    I always liked:

    Linkin Park - Numb

    I'm tired of being what you want me to be
    Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
    Don't know what you're expecting of me
    Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
    (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
    Every step that I take is another mistake to you
    (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

    [Chorus]
    I've become so numb I can't feel you there
    Become so tired so much more aware
    I'm becoming this all I want to do
    Is be more like me and be less like you

    Can't you see that you're smothering me
    Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
    Cause everything that you thought I would be
    Has fallen apart right in front of you
    (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
    Every step that I take is another mistake to you
    (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
    And every second I waste is more than I can take

    And I know
    I may end up failing too
    But I know
    You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

    Metallica - Holier Than Thou

    No more!
    The craps rolls out your mouth again
    Haven't changed, your brain is still gelatin
    Little whispers circle around your head
    Why don't you worry about yourself instead

    Who are you? where ya been? where ya from?
    Gossip is burning on the tip of your tongue
    You lie so much you believe yourself
    Judge not lest ye be judged yourself

    [Chorus]

    Holier than thou
    You are
    Holier than thou
    You are

    You know not

    Before you judge me take a look at you
    Can't you find somethig better to do
    Point the finger, slow to understand
    Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand

    It's not who you are it's who you know
    Others lives are the basis of your own
    Burn your bridges build them back with wealth
    Judge not lest ye be judged yourself

    Holier than thou
    You are
    Holier than thou
    You are

    You know not

    Metallica - The Unforgiven

    New blood joins this earth
    And quikly he's subdued
    Through constant pained disgrace
    The young boy learns their rules

    With time the child draws in
    This whipping boy done wrong
    Deprived of all his thoughts
    The young man struggles on and on he's known
    A vow unto his own
    That never from this day
    His will they'll take away

    [Chorus]

    What I've felt
    What I've known
    Never shined through in what I've shown
    Never be
    Never see
    Won't see what might have been

    What I've felt
    What I've known
    Never shined through in what I've shown
    Never free
    Never me
    So I dub thee unforgiven

    They dedicate their lives
    To running all of his
    He tries to please them all
    This bitter man he is
    Throughout his life the same
    He's battled constantly
    This fight he cannot win
    A tired man they see no longer cares
    The old man then prepares
    To die regretfully
    That old man here is me

    You labeled me
    I'll label you
    So I dub the unforgiven

    Metallica - The God That Failed

    Pride you took
    Pride you feel
    Pride that you felt when you'd kneel

    Not the word
    Not the love
    Not what you thought from above

    It feeds
    It grows
    It clouds all that you will know
    Deceit
    Deceive
    Decide just what you believe

    [Chorus]

    I see faith in your eyes
    Never your hear the discouraging lies
    I hear faith in your cries
    Broken is the promise, betrayal
    The healing hand held back by the deepened nail

    Follow the god that failed

    Find your peace
    Find your say
    Find the smooth road in your way

    Trust you gave
    A child to save
    Left you cold and him in grave

    It feeds
    It grows
    It clouds all that you will know
    Deceit
    Deceive
    Decide just what you believe [Chorus again, verse variations, more chorus, etc.]

    Follow the god that failed

    And yeah, Leper Messaiah is great too. I guess, pretty much lots of Metallica. But then, I'm a metal head, personally.
