Dragon lyrics:
You don't actually care
Love for you is no beginning
You're not really there
Hallucination
I thought you were listening
Hallucination
I thought you were listening
Hallucination
I understand you think you're above it
The adolescent sense of the sky
The feeling of billowing heartbeats
The fingertips run through your hair
They run through your hair
Hallucination
Hallucination
Oh you think you're so special
That there's no law meant for you
You come and go like the goddess you are
We're mere mortals below
Fingertips run through your hair
We are mere mortals below
Are meant to be peons
Are meant to be servants
Are meant to be dismissible objects
One fucks with
One fucks with
Poor pitiful creature
The winner in heartbreak
The winner in caring
The winner in every miniscule method of wearing
Your heart on your sleeve
A red star of idiocy
An idiot's idiocy
My, my caring for you
Caring for you
Do you think we're a book
Some kind of a table
You can rest your feet on when you're able
Red star of idiocy
An idiot's idiocy
My caring for you
Poor pitiful creature
To notice the pining
The self deprivation
The self flagellation of you
Dear worshippers
We do like you regal
We do like you haughty
We do love to look upon your perfect body
The hair on your shoulders
The smell of your armpit
The taste of your vulva and everything on it
We all really love you
And you have no meaning
You don't even see us
You were never caring
You go do what you do
You do it for you
No one exists with you
You're way above caring
Leave a trail upon the wake
That no one ever tries to take
Because waiting for you
Thinking of you
Is another way of dying
Is another way of dying
I'm clawing your chest
'Til your collarbone bleeds
Piercing your nipples 'til I bite them off
I scratch your face and bite your shoulders
Way above caring
Way above caring
And your Kotex jukebox
Your Kotex jukebox
I'm doomed, I'm swearing
Waiting for you
In your high heels and nightie
Your leather dress squeaking
Latex now sweating, waiting for you
In your tincture
Your opium white bathrobe
Your white tiles run red now
Are we both dead now?
The liquid exchange of our heart
The liquid exchange of our heart
Are we both dead now?
You're way above caring
Your heart on your sleeve
A red star of idiocy
An idiot's idiocy
My caring
My caring for you
My caring for you
You're way beyond caring
Your heart on your sleeve
A red star of idiocy
An idiot's idiocy
My caring for you
Oblivious to caring
Oblivious to caring
Oblivious to caring
Leave a trail upon the wake
That no one ever tries to take
Because waiting for you
Because thinking of you
Is another way of dying
You're way above caring
Oblivious to caring
Oblivious to caring
You poor pitiful creature
The mistake of feeling
The one who rejects you is the winner,
It's true
The winner in heartbreak
The winner in caring
The winner in every miniscule method of wearing
Your heart on your sleeve
A red star of idiocy
An idiot's idiocy
Your heart on your fuckin' sleeve
My caring for you
We were meant to be peons
We're meant to be peons
Mere mortals below
Meant to be servants
Meant to be dismissible objects one fucks with
Oh, oh, oh you're so special
No law meant for you
You come and go like the goddess you are
The fingertips run through your hair
A billowing heart beats
Feeling
Feeling
What a glorious feeling
To be so rejected
So rejected
An idiot's idiocy
My caring for you
You think I'm a book or a table
You can rest your fuckin' feet on
When you're able
The taste of your vulva, everything on it
The hair on your shoulders
The smell of your armpit
We do love you, to look upon your perfect body
We love you regal
We love you haughty
Oblivious to caring
Oblivious to caring
Caring
Oh my dear
Oh my dear
Oh my dear
Oblivious to caring
Are we really dead now?
Are we both dead now? [End of lyrics] 26

ROBERT PLANT Teams Up With West End Tenor For Obscure \'60s ClassicAccording to The Pulse Of Radio, Robert Plant has teamed up with West End tenor Alfie Boe, best known for his stint in "Les Miserables", for a new recording — and is hinting that more projects with him might be in the works. SundayMercury.net reported that the unlikely pair hit it off at during a chance meeting in a bar, which led to Plant joining the 39-year-old Boe in the studio to record a cover of Tim Buckley's "Song To A Siren".
Plant chalks the new experience up to the constant broadening of his creative pallet. "The evolution of my voice is like playing a guitar," he says. "The more you play guitar, the more dexterous you become, the more your fingers move faster and all that sort of thing. It's the same with your voice. With Alison [Krauss], I had to learn to sing harmonies, something I'd never done with [LED] ZEPPELIN. My voice has changed over the years and now I'm duetting with a tenor!"
Plant had previously tackled "Song To A Siren", which was co-written by Buckley and Larry Beckett, on his 2002 solo set, "Dreamland". The track first introduced the late Buckley to millions when he was featured performing it on the final episode of "The Monkees" in 1968. It has since been covered by artists ranging from Pat Boone to George Michael to the MORTAL COIL.
Alfie Boe's new album, "Alfie", featuring Robert Plant will be released on October 31.
Todd Rundgren who performed at Britain's legendary Knebworth festival along with ZEPPELIN back in 1979, said that he doesn't blame Plant for shying away from trying to duplicate his vocals from 35 or 40 years ago. "Robert Plant will probably always have a gig somewhere," he said. "And the only reason for him to reunite with the LED ZEPPELIN thing is because it would just be huge money involved, I guess. But he has an opportunity to play music that he feels like. Some music that he may feel actually more akin to than what he's, I guess 'obligated' to do (laughs) at this point with LED ZEPPELIN. Everything that he did after he left LED ZEPPELIN was an octave lower (than the ZEPPELIN songs). (Laughs) And now he's got to go back and sing and scream at the top of his lungs."
Robert Plant and BAND OF JOY will perform on Friday (September 30) in San Francisco at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass at Speedway Meadow in Golden Gate Park.

KORN To Release \'The Path Of Totality\' In DecemberKORN will release its tenth studio album, "The Path Of Totality", on December 6 via Roadrunner Records.
But this one is unlike any KORN record. It's even unlike any record released before.
"The Path Of Totality" is an experimental album which finds KORN shifting gears and exploring new territory. That should hardly come as a shock to the band's diehard fans, as KORN exploded onto the scene in the'90s and established themselves as hard rock game-changers from that point on.
For "The Path Of Totality", the band collaborated with some of the leading dubstep and electronic producers in the world, including Skrillex, Excision, Datsik, Noisia, Kill the Noise, and 12th Planet. The result is something completely new, yet utterly and definitively KORN. Leave it to a band like KORN to continue to reinvent itself two decades deep into its career.
"The title 'The Path Of Totality' refers to the fact that in order to see the sun in a full solar eclipse, you must be in the exact right place in the exact right time," KORN frontman Jonathan Davis explained. "That's how this album came together. I think all the producers feel the same way. I'm not sure it could ever happen again"
The band's recent (and much lauded) collaboration with dubstep's hottest producer, Skrillex, titled "Get Up!", was the surprise rock hit of the summer, the buzz of which started in Coachella's dance tent in April 2011, when Jonathan and Munky joined Skrillex on stage for a show stealing unannounced performance of the song.
That performance generated the start of a deafening buzz. The track has sold over 150,000 downloads, while the lyric video has generated nearly two million views and counting. The song, a Top 10 rock radio hit, still continues to be one of the best-testing songs on the format over 24 weeks after its release.
Adds James "Munky" Shaffer, "'Get Up!' started as a bit of an experiment, but we had such an amazing response from our fans and had such a great time collaborating that a full album of tracks came together in a couple of months. We couldn't wait to get to the studio every day to finish the next song."
Some of the song titles from "The Path Of Totality" are: "Narcissistic Cannibal", "Burn The Obedient", "Illuminati", "Kill Mercy Within" and "Chaos Lives In Everything".
The album will be released in two configurations: as a standard 11-song CD and a special edition CD that will include bonus tracks as well as a DVD of "The Encounter", a full-length video concert of KORN's mind-blowing, once-in-a-lifetime performance in the middle of a 900-foot-long crop circle in a wheat field in Bakersfield. The complete concert, previously seen last year on TV and online in an abbreviated form, will be offered in its entirety to those who purchase the deluxe version. 23

HOSTILE To Release \'Eve Of Destruction\' In October British metallers HOSTILE — who feature in their ranks bassist Alex Hill, son of JUDAS PRIEST's Ian Hill — will release their debut album, "Eve Of Destruction", on October 31. The CD was produced by former JUDAS PRIEST guitarist K.K. Downing.
Not only did K.K. produce HOSTILE's debut CD — he also wrote and performed on the song "Avenger", the first time the guitarist has ever written for a band outside of PRIEST. K.K. became interested in HOSTILE's talent and potential after seeing them perform at a club called JB's in Dudley, Midlands.
According to Express & Star, "Eve Of Destruction" was recorded at The Old Smithy studios in Worcestershire, where JUDAS PRIEST, BLACK SABBATH and ROBERT PLANT have all worked. PRIEST's recording engineer Richard Wood was also drafted in to help create the finished product.
The band admitted it has been the most incredible learning experience working alongside Downing, who would take songs the band thought were complete and rework them into something even more spectacular.
"It was just amazing working with someone like K.K., with his experience of so many albums and it was a blessing-and-a-half to have someone like him," lead guitarist AJ told Express & Star.
Added drummer Gunga: "The scary thing for me was we used to listen to it and think it was fantastic and then it was ripped to pieces and put back together and we never realized it would ever sound as good as it is now. Now we know how to make songs live and breathe where before we were just playing them. It's just been an invaluable lesson to us all." 1
