Death is Certain.., Life is Not!

It's been quite a long time that I came across a song which said, "Death is Certain.., Life is Not" and It took me quite sometime to understand really what it means. After a year and a half of battle with diseases, yesterday my beloved uncle passed away. I never saw life or death for that matter, so closely. Just a couple of days back he was talking to us and now lies six feet under. May God bless him and his family. Rest In Peace my dear uncle, for we will always miss you.

Today I wondered in solitude, I wondered and realized how little we actually are when it comes to Life's final test, i.e., death. All of the life's struggle, all the emotions, every worldly relation & all thoughts end here. It's in my view, a transition to another world. For death is that eternal truth on which every sane human believes. And believe why not? For death is certain. One day or another we all have to embrace the same fate, the light of life fades and we are no more.

Something; Metallica

Almost 26 years have passed since Metallica was born.
My inspiration & a part of my life.
Considering the fact that for over 8 years my life has been surrounded by the music of Metallica, Lets talk about 'em!
If you are a die-hard fan, you might not wanna read this; because most probably you know it already.. anyway; lets see now..
Did you know, Metallica was formed on, October 15th 1981?
Lloyd Grant overdubbed the guitar solo for the first ever demo of, Hit the Lights.
March 14, 1982; almost a little over 25years from today, Metallica performed their first ever gig, at Radiocity, Anaheim, CA.
Anyway, enough of the history lesson for today. Hmm, and It happens that the song is, For Whom the Bell Tolls, SNM Version which is being played here right now.. btw, It was an 80 piece Orchestra which played with Metallica for this concert.

Uh, I have seriously hurt my wrist today, I'll talk about some of my favorite songs in the coming post(s) - namely, Fade to Black & One.
Till then, Farewell.

The Crypt

I stand in shallow water;

In the night with trees suroundin' the crypt

As the wind moves through the trees

Death whispered a lullaby
Eyes; thousands watch over with silence

A silence - deafening silence

And I move deep into the water and overcome my fear

The thoughts in my mind, still unclear
From behind a voice calling,

My son; overhere!
My surroundings so familiar,

Now I remember, Once I was here, Deep inside my heart I now know

This is the land of the Unforgiven

The tormented Heaven!
I fall on my knees - as the water subdues

I welcome my fate with a silent smile

Memories flashback as I enter my last hour

Suddenly light falls from the life's tower
And as I kiss my life goodbye - I realize,

I fought hard, but betrayal!

And now that I ascend to the Heaven,

I question myself - am I forgiven?

Ah yes, that was something I wrote quite a while back. Thought I'd put it up here.

...And It Begins

11 in the night, I create this blog.
Considering the fact that I'm nocturnal, I'm beginning my day, or night for that matter. It starts of with a song by the name of; Fade to Black. Yes, music is a major part of my life and will be a major part of this blog.

9 years ago, when I was still a kid.. not even a teenager, I got hold of this disc it was black in color with a snake on it.. and on one corner I could read the word, "Metallica" Out of curiosity I listened to it. Not knowing that this band will change my life. Of Wolf and Man, yes.. the first song I ever listened to by Metallica.. It was Of Wolf and Man.. and the journey began.

Years have gone by now, and my love for music still grows..
