About Me

Hi !!! I'm Gary , you'd call me a metalhead !!! Yes , I'm into heavy metal music , with a preference for power metal , gothic/doom metal and progressive metal . Most of the bands I like come from Europe , but I find there's decent metal all over the world , like Terra Sur from South America ,Temujin from Australia , Forty Birds from Montreal , Canada , Thy Symphony from Brazil ( Camila sure is a sweetie!!! ) and many , many more !!! I like American bands like Kamelot , Iced Earth , Symphony X and Dream Theater , but my current favourite bands like Epica , After Forever , Satyrian , and Nightwish are , all, like me , from Europe . .... ..... I also have a great love for railroads and trains , a different kind of heavy metal . Since I was a kid , I've been fascinated by these steel giants , heavy weights rolling on those shiny ribbons of steel that criss cross the countries of the world . One of my fondest dreams is to take The Canadian , a cross country train trip covering Canada , and it's beautiful sights , from Toronto to Vancouver . .............. I'm also a fan of urban adventure , the exploration of old buildings and abandoned sights , places once useful , now left to rot and decay . I've never done any , preferring to see these sights via the safety of my computer and my room , although there's many places I'd like to check out . Toronto has Canada Malting , a 100 year old , 15 story abandoned grain elevator . Then there's Pripyat , Ukraine , rendered into an unlivable ghost city , thanks to the radiation spread by the Chernobyl meltdown , back in 1986 . I'd also like to see Famagusta , a city on the east coast of Cyprus , a large portion which has been abandoned since the Turkish invasion back in 1974 . .....

Draconian - The Cry Of Silence Lyrics
Filled with sorrow...
Bleak inner self touched by pride,
devoured by solitude, still wrapped in time.
Flowing pain...
Holding myself back in suspicion...
and lingering in the dust...
the dust of my abandoned remains.
Killed with the dagger of life...!
Such an exquisite pride in my suffering...
alone, all alone with the emotional
streams of my soul...
So real, so pure... yet i'm left aside
entangled in fear... without hope.
Raped by the light of the world...
Scorned, left behind and broken down...
I am truly left alone,
but somehow... just somehow
it feels like my loneliness is a victory
over the self-delusion of joy... and happiness.
My heart beats faster,
the anguish becomes clearer
and my misanthropic view gets stronger.
Living in the shadows...
so proud of being the one,
but desperate...
so desperate for a helping hand.
Do I really want to live this life?
I have a thousand reasons to die,
and many millions of tears to cry... in silence.
The human plague has emtied my life,
and I curse the day I was born... to this world!
Still, no-one else I ever want to be...
and no-one else I intend to be...
'cause no-one else I was meant to be!
I need, I want, I long for my retribution...
I need, I want, I yearn for my retribution...
I want my retribution... I want it now!
Unity; a gathering of open wounds,
of dark... of dark clean spirits...
what a dream... what a dream so distant!
Why should I... why should I be alone
when I love... when I love my brotherhood?
Shall I die... shall I die to be free
when I cry... when I cry in silence...
so please let me die in silence...
oh my god,let me die in silence!
