Arise ye workers from your slumbers
Arise ye prisoners of want
For reason in revolt now thunders
And at last ends the age of cant.
Away with all your superstitions
Servile masses arise, arise
We'll change henceforth the old conditions
And spurn the dust to win the prize.
So comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale unites the human race.
So comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale unites the human race.
-- The Internationale (translation)
Because Chaotix was a communist.
Destroy positions of power and what stands between you and the final stretch
Where you find out what happens in the end
Man on the corner preaching, screaming the devil is coming!
And the earth will plummet to the ground again
I hope to death that no one knows and they don't find a way
-- Flatliners “Fred’s got slacks”
Because there are people defending the mafia, who need to be removed?
You shed a shadow on my life
Shed a shadow on a love
Took the shelter out of my life
Took the shelter of a lie
I couldn't see it in your restless eyes
The truth I was hiding
The truth you could not disguise
But I never thought I'd see the day
I knew I'd need a miracle to make you stay
I knew
I needed
A miracle
And I never thought I'd see the day
-- Sade “Never thought I’d see the day.”
Commentary on how someone (town, mafia?) needs a miracle, perhaps?
Yeah by get down well you rock and roll

(clap clap clap)
-- Jovanotti "Gimme Five"
The Number Five killer's death.
Everybody tries to put me down
They try to make me drown
And everybody has a reason to kill me
They've got the art of murder down to a tee
There will never be an end for me
Why can't you see?
That I'm...
Hard to Kill
I always was...
Hard to Kill
I'll always be...
Hard to Kill
Hard to Kill
Hard to Kill
Yeah
And I know the end will never be near
I'm always gonna be here
You may work and try to end what I've done
But I have already won
--Bat Dude (lyrics available at killermovies.com forum)
By this point the mafia are in a nearly impossible position (perhaps?), and they have difficulty murdering. Hard to kill might imply this as well. Could be a prediction that the town is winning.
...pull you close
Feel your love
Then I push you away from me
Protect myself
I’m not safe when my boundaries are violated
And its kill or die
So I choose me
Over you
A.D.D. is my excuse
With my excuse I shot you down
I know I’ve got to change
But I can never work out how
How can I say I’m sorry when I know I’ll do it again
Do it again
I know what I did but I still don’t know the reason
I wanna say I’m sorry but I know I’ll do it again
I’ll do it again
I’ll do it to you
I don’t wanna hurt you anymore
Lash out in anger
Hit the wrong target
My little sister
No matter what I say
I love you so much I cannot leave
But when family gets too close
I always find it hard to beathe
-- Daniel Bedingfield "Sorry"
Hit the wrong target. Pannonian and El Diablo.
Keep your eyes open and prick up your ears ---
rehearse your loudest cry.
There's folk out there who would do you harm
so I'll sing you no lullaby.
There's a lock on the window; there's a chain on the door:
a big dog in the hall.
But there's dragons and beasties out there in the night
to snatch you if you fall.
So come out fighting with your rattle in hand.
Thrust and parry. Light
a match to catch the devil's eye. Bring
a cross of fire to the fight.
And let no sleep bring false relief
from the tension of the fray.
Come wake the dead with the scream of life.
Do battle with ghosts at play.
n Ian Anderson “No Lullaby”
Several lurkers died this round. Prick up your ears... the Rabbit?
Hello darkness my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left it's seed while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
-- Paul Simon "Sound of Silence"
Commentary on how inactive the town was.
Something unexpected
Something so new
Something so crazy
Crazy like you
I mean, I knew you had a reputation
(Of flirtation)
And I knew you had a messed up mind
But, you went and did it this time
-- “Ton of Bricks” by Deborah Gibson
Everything that happened that night was messed up. Reenk's attack on Sasaki, the attack on Moros, etc.
"The Kilkenny Cats"
There were once two cats of Kilkenny.
Each thought there was one cat too many;
So they fought and they fit,
And they scratched and they bit,
Till, excepting their nails,
And the tips of their tails,
Instead of two cats, there weren't any.
-- traditional
During this round, there were two mafia on the block. Then, a Don was put on the block. The rhyme seems to indicate that the mafia had internal strife and they were destroying themselves.
The last of england’s spoiled brats
Grand order of the gutter rats
A big fish in a public house
You’re never going to learn to shut your mouth
A silly pseudo lager lout
With nothing much to shout about
Spent hours looking in the mirror
Trying to perfect the perfect pout
Now take the spotlight
And pause for your applause
Well my oh my you’re such a big boy
On a saturday night
You try but there is always something
Something not right inside
There’s always someone
Somebody else to take
The power and the glory
All for themselves
-- Kirsty Maccoll & Mark Nevin "Big Boy on a Saturday Night"
First line could indicate that Ironside was the last of his family, but I cannot be sure.
The rest seems to refer to my selection as Director, it was the only other signifcant event that round.
Take nothing for granted in life
Nothing goes as planned but it all works out in the end
Live each day as if it were your last
We think we understand until everything gets out of hand
There comes a time in all our lives when we must choose
It’s always for the best, sometimes we win even when we lose
Only time will tell if it’s too late to clean this slate
It’s just as well, you’ll have to live with the choice you made
-- Matthew Staley
Here, Shinseikhaan was attacked and so was Proletariat. Both survived. Nothing goes as planned... all the attacks seemed to be thwarted or didn't go as planned. The Rabbit seemed to be missing his partner, and the Number 5 killer did not kill because Prole was protected.
Far off in sunlit places,
Sad are the Scottish faces,
Yearning to feel the kiss of sweet Scottish rain.
Where tropic skies are beaming,
Love sets the heart a-dreaming,
Longing and dreaming for the homeland again.
-- Cliff Hanley
Hmmm... the homeland part could foreshadow that Rhyfelwyr was a foreign spy, which we didn't learn about until later on.
Strolling down the same old sidewalk
Move in for the kill and forget my name
All this time I knew that this wouldn't suffice
Make no mistake, she always knew I wouldn't break
I'd steal your eyes (I'd steal your eyes)
Just so you can never see me fall (see me fall)
I'd steal your tongue
And I'd steal your tongue
Just so you could never tell me to let go again
Who's Killing Who
Tell me again
-- Bleed the Dream “Who’s Killing Who”
Who is killing who? The mafia got savaged this round by vigilantes, and the kills on the town failed.
Little piece of lint in the breeze;
Why is it you make me sneeze?
You're not very pretty.
This is true.
When you're around
I go ahchoo.
To the garbage you must go;
Don't cry on my shoulder
Or ask to stay when the answer's no!
My allergies should give you a hint
That I want to discard you little piece of lint
-- Steven West
Refers to Reenk's writeup and the piece of lint. This is where Kage and AVSM died.
But now I'm on, I'm on my own again
Thinking you will never show
you won't be home again
And it's gonna be a long night
And it's gonna be cold without your arms
And I`m gonna get stage fright caught
in the headlights
It's gonna be a long night
And I know I'm gonna lose this fight
-- The Corrs “Long Night”
A long night could refer to the sheer number of activities that night... Prole was attacked a couple times, and so was Psychonaut, John, Crate, Leet, and Iskander. A long, bloody night. In the end, the mafia were hurt more than the town.
What do we need, what do we hunger for
Who holds the secrets, who will know
Temples of greed in ruins on the riverbed
Wastelands that lived before the snow
Time stands still as we race through the universe
On our way to the sun
As we arrive at the house of the water sign
We are living in strange times
Strange times, strange times
-- Lodge & Hayward (Moody Blues) "Strange Times"
Andres was attacked, survived, Diana attacked, survived, Reenk attacked, survived... Jolt was killed by vigilantes. The only successful attack was by townies against townies.
I will sure survive the night
there was a sleep when I come alive
I'll make it run towards the city light
it always keeps me on the right side
When we come alive
We never stop we won't give in
When we come alive
We keep it up until we win
-- E-type "Eurofighter"
Keep it up until we win... could refer to the string of luck the town was having. Made, Luca, commie, Luca.
bad chance and circumstance
left the hollow ache
of sweet loneliness
and sour frustration
thanks for everything
thanks for everything
my one regret
the missing layer
of our failed protection
of our missed connections
take up a collection
a new army of salvation
of the leftovers and extras
of that longlost harvest season
of sweet loneliness
and sour frustration
thanks for everything
thanks for everything
-- Dirtminers (R.Worrick) “Sweet Loneliness”
Two failed protections tonight.
…kill the faith inside of you
watch the killing starts
after you accept the part
to redirect your mind
whisper the name
all is not so black and white
-- Skinny Puppy “Curcible”
Several kills this night, one of which was against a Don by vigilantes who were trying to take down my group, who thought I was running a mafia empire, and I had provided protection for that Don. A very strange set of circumstances. All is not black and white may mean that all were not innocent targets, or that it's not so clear if I am running a mafia empire or not.
And it begins anew
The hatred of mankind
As it seeks to kill that which lives inside
Now we are dying,
Dying the slowest death
Held down by bonds that bind us
We breath our final breath
And it begins anew
The burning we endure
As we seek the srrength, strength to break the bonds…
From dust you were born,
And to the ashes you return….
-- Killswitch Engage
Opening night, the part about dust and ashes may be a religious reference. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, kind of thing? YLC killed that night.
O Lithium sunset
And take this lonesome burden
Of worry from my mind
Take this heartache
Of obsidian darkness
And fold my darkness
Into your yellow light
-- Lithium Sunset
The first sunset before the killing begins.
