Glorious Ruin: Eye of the Tiger

27/03/2008

Eye of the Tiger

Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

Chorus:
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive

chorus

Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

chorus

The eye of the tiger (repeats out)...

Soundtrack of my Life

Kendall Payne: Grown
Raw, vulnerable, honest, the sort of woman I aspire to be.
Plumb: Chaotic Resolve
Can i express why i love Plumb so much? maybe not, but her lyrics are fascinating, and her music is amazing.
Jars of Clay: Furthermore
Some of my favourite songs are on here, real life, real music.
Lifehouse: No name face
This album has a song for every season of the soul, I always find myself coming back to it.
Greenday: American Idiot
I will never tire of dancing to this album!
Mike and the Mechanics: hits
Nostalgia, what can i say! I love this album plain and simple. It has my break-up songs on it.
Simon and Garfunkel: Tales from New York
Everyone should have this album! no excuses! they're my essential packing music, every year when i have to pack up all my belongings and move they're always playing!
Hatebreed: The Rise of Brutality
For some reason typepad wouldnt let me add my favourite hardcore punk album which is Faster Than The World by H2O so hatebreed would be my second choice. Despite the aggressive sound the lyrics are positive and personally i love hardcore punk.
Specials: Specials
No album list is complete without some SKA!!!! :) the best of black meets white, two-tone will always be my favourite style of music to skank the night away to!
Pillar: Fireproof
For some reason it wouldnt let me add my favourite album by this band which is "Where do we go from here?". I couldnt live without rock music, and this combines the best rock around with christian lyrics, a girl couldnt ask for more!
DC Talk: Intermission
No list would be complete without DC Talk. I fell in love with them as a young teen and they will always hold a special place in my heart! come on, you have to love the cheesy 90's rap!

Good books I've read recently

Milton Cudney: Self-Defeating Behaviours
This is a great book if you're like me and have a habit of ruining things for yourself by doing really stupid things. It helps you to identify what exactly it is that you do, and how to change you're thoughts and actions. Although not written by christians a lot of what they have to say I could relate back to wisdom that is found in the bible. A very worthwhile read!
Charlotte Bronte: Jane Eyre (Wordsworth Classics)
This will always be my favourite book. I'm reading it again and altho i know exactly what's going to happen, the language that this book is written in still captivates me.
Frank Peretti: Monster
As a massive Frank Peretti fan i was not disappointed with the most recent addition to his collection. i was up all night reading it because i simply could not put it down. still not sure if it's as good as the oath, but then that is one of my all-time favourite books. this book has so many twists and turns it leaves you wondering who truely is the enemy/monster here. i loved it!
