Barack Hussein Obama II (i/bəˈrɑːk huːˈseɪn oʊˈbɑːmə/; born August 4, 1961) is the 44th and current President of the United States. He is the first African American to hold the office. In January 2005, Obama was sworn in as a U.S. Senator in the state of Illinois. He would hold this office until November 2008, when he resigned following his victory in the 2008 presidential election.
Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was the president of the Harvard Law Review. He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney in Chicago and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. He served three terms representing the 13th District in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004.
Following an unsuccessful bid against the Democratic incumbent for a seat in the United States House of Representatives in 2000, Obama ran for the United States Senate in 2004. Several events brought him to national attention during the campaign, including his victory in the March 2004 Illinois Democratic primary for the Senate election and his keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004. He won election to the U.S. Senate in Illinois in November 2004. His presidential campaign began in February 2007, and after a close campaign in the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries against Hillary Rodham Clinton, he won his party's nomination. In the 2008 presidential election, he defeated Republican nominee John McCain, and was inaugurated as president on January 20, 2009. Nine months later, Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate. In April 2011, he announced that he would be running for re-election in 2012.
Austrian Death Machine is an American metal side project from San Diego, California, founded by As I Lay Dying vocalist Tim Lambesis to be a parody of and tribute to Arnold Schwarzenegger's films.
Austrian Death Machine released their first album Total Brutal on July 22, 2008. The album was dedicated to Caleb Crain on May 14, 2008 for his birthday that was two months before the scheduled release date. A few months later they released a Christmas themed EP titled A Very Brutal Christmas. After some tour support of Total Brutal, Lambesis went back on tour with As I Lay Dying. While on tour he posted on Austrian Death Machine's MySpace blog that he had ideas to follow up Total Brutal with a double disc effort titled Double Brutal stating that the first disc would be original songs where the second disc would be composed of cover songs. After returning home from tour in early Summer 2009, he went to work on Double Brutal which was released September 29, 2009.
Many in the press have pointed out that a Schwarzenegger movie-themed band concept was already being pursued by ArnoCorps, having been performing live in California and the UK beginning more than 7 years prior to Lambesis' effort. Lambesis writes and records all the music playing guitar, bass, and drums as well as the majority of the vocals, leaving Destroy the Runner vocalist Chad Ackerman (portraying "Ahhhnold") to perform Schwarzenegger like vocals. The only thing Lambesis or Ackerman do not record are the guitar solos in every song which are performed by various guitarists from other bands. Lambesis stated where As I Lay Dying "is heartfelt and full of passion" Austrian Death Machine on the other hand "is an outlet of pure testosterone and stupidity." Tim Lambesis has recently stated on Austrian Death Machine's official Myspace that a third album is in the works which may be called Keep it Brutal.
I gotta find, I gotta find a special friend
A little bit of sexiness
That's all I need
Someone I can kick it with (oh)
Won't put no pressure on me
And when the rain comes fallin' down
Will you be there for me
I need a whole lot of loyalty
I need you down on my team
You see
I been through too much drama in my life
You see
Every chick so far's been wasted time
You see
I need someone so special in my life
I need that special friend
Gonna search around the... world
'Til I find that... girl
New York, Georgia, Cali 'cross the water
Gonna find my baby... girl
Precious like a... pearl
I need a very special friend
(Very very very very special friend)
[Gimme that phone!]
I got to talk to you, baby, set the record straight
'Cause this relationship is goin' from love to hate
You're always trying to make me do things that're really dumb
And we're always disagreein' on how to have fun
And you know I don't want what you want
I want what I want
Well, you look like a yuppie, and that's too bad
Yeah, it used to be funny, but now it's sad
And your friends are all stupid and they talk too much
And I'd feel a lot better staying out of touch
And you know I don't want what you want
I want what I want
You can say goodbye to me, honey
You can say goodbye to my money
Well, I'm sittin' here callin' from Tennessee
And I've been jammin' with my buddies like I ought to be
And it feels real good bein' on my own
And I don't mind leaving you dry as bone
And you know I don't want what you want
I want what I want
Well, it's all over, it's just too late
And I'm so glad we're living in different states
You know I said it all before like I knew I should
But you got nothing in your head but a block of wood
And you know I don't want what you want
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue
Colors changing hue
Morning field of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night
You took your life, as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless head on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in the ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
I speak the truth, I dare not tell a lie
One child is in fits, the other child dies
Now the yellow bird sits upon her finger
The yellow bird a specter lost to linger
God hates the Lords of Salem
No can ever save them
God hates the Lords of Salem
No one can destroy them
Do you think they suffered up on Gallows Hill?
Burn me and hang me and I always will
Tumble like a swine, a victim of the fury
Glory to the saint, before you start to bury
God hates the Lords of Salem
No can ever save them
God hates the Lords of Salem
No one can destroy them
God hates the Lords of Salem
No can ever save them
God hates the Lords of Salem

Brother Up In Heaven
(bairnson)
A boy flies for freedom
But dies for the peace
In the clouds, he waits for an answer
But there's no release
It's strange here without you
And it's so hard to see
So brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me
Oh brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me
I still see his shadow
His laugh lingers on
When i dream, we're all back together
When i wake, he's gone
It's strange here without you
This was not ment to be
So brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me
And though we try to change the world
A flower when it's cut will surely die
So why do men with so much hate
Destroy what they cannot create
While we all stand by
We will look back in anger
But you helped us to see
So brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me
Oh brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me

Awake
As a poisoned present
A statue carved in jade
The stone that steals the hearts
From unfaithfuls
Dethrones your kings
Look at me
And feel the pain
Mixing with the taste of blood
How the arrows of time
Tear every second apart and
Invoke the dawn
Have you seen how the moon lies to us?
Listen the howls of despair
What will you do
Without the crown of pity?
You'll have to fall and crawl again
It will guide you, the taste of sin,
Through the path of solitude
To disappear when we love
And become a shadow
That will dissipate
A nightmare invoked
Darkness calls
Enveloped in your cloak
I shall never bow before a Clay man
I am Fire
Breeder of your sins and pain
Sneaking whisperer in the hearts of men
Wind-curved sand hills
Landscapes of your misery
My burning realm of mirage wealth
The wind that scatters
Recalls
What the future was made for
I walk stealthy through these hallways
Invoking with my dual tongue
The wonders of a virgin kingdom
Endless wishes
Curse what the Gehenna will not grant
Because of my wreath
The wandering being shall walk with shivering steps
While his fears will be reflected every night
On a moon abandoned, left on her own
I will hold your back with my claws
Stimulate your heartbeats
Wishes, sins will crown your victories
I'll announce your soul her doom
Bodies return to the original dust
My hands will write with cloves the future
I will seduce with sneaking movements
The tree of life to grow the fruit of my will
Feel my taste, the nectar of my tears
Poison you souls with lies
Feel the pain, the woe and the fear
We all steadily travel to the unknown
We all know this is the end
We all will be forgotten
Alone
Before the clouded thought
Of ideas that fall long enough to die
In the taste of rebel poetry
Converting luciferian verses
Into the only colour that my soul can paint
A new covenant between solitude and grief
Signs from before that emerge in this present
Regrettably
New thoughts appear
With sublime words carved in a mirror
Before my thirst for pagan knowledge
Are we going to die?
Unknown
Lay your restless body
Over used silk, entangled in the sand
Even if your flesh's destiny
Has been carved in your chest
Travel inside my hell, eternity ends here
Beg for me if your senses allow it
Create a theatre out of this misery
And I'll be the nucleus of your hell
Kiss me with the warm breath of your sin
Part my soul from this body,
The creation of a nocturnal nightmare,
And as I let solitude pass
I become the dust of oblivion
A creature crowned before a nameless epitaph
A blank stone shredding ancient scripts
Melancholy, grey as I am
I will stare at these landscapes of eternity
everlasting, macrocosm, everything
I will sail through dark seas of tears
Towards the unknown to reach what we're looking for
Your existence poisons my soul
Is this my prison?
An abysmal burrow of tortured harlequins
Who mourn laughing the arrival of their second death
I hear the lonely cry of the crow
When pain stimulates my soul
I shall remain in silence
All histories resumed in a verse
Are prayers that were not heard
By the insane past
That saw us fall
Decaying before an awful sight
The sun cries for us all
As death will at last
Rule in our hearts
Winds
Turn into mourning storms
They carry me like dry leaves to dispel the autumn
Conspiracy based on silence
Destroys softly our hopes
Devours our roots
I close my eyes, where brimstone tainted tears are born
They Recall the beginning
Back to the very doorway of Asterion's labyrinth
Remember once more your astral insanity
And spawn your doom
Remember your origin
You've played with the dagger of sin
As you heard the Declaiming of
Luciferian verses that your tongue has never met
Shadows rise beneath your feet
Endless torture
I feel the flame of dawn
Embracing a dreamless night
Desperately
The forbidden fruit dampens my lips
Reveals the secrets of a paradise
Forged by the desire of an infinite time
Face to face
Yearning disappears
I have seen wolves howl at the moon
Reclaiming freedom
Their tears flow like rain
Moisten my soul after each battle against solitude
Spirits sink into my wildest form
My breathing became the nightly pulse
A wandering song about the end
Between those two cold hands
That caress the memory,
The mystery of your birth
The Silence inside
My desire,
Death was forged by your will
When the sun gave us the first dusk
And the night was forever crowned
Carnivorous winds
Carry me deep into
The eerie wealth of certain death
Beyond the labyrinth's threshold
I will finally rest once between your walls
Our memories are replaced
With infected tears and a taste, oh, so bitter
This is Nowhere
A place where only dreams prevail
A place where nightmares are our parables
That we somehow decipher
Towards the shadows that shred
To prove how time dies before our eyes
To feel the fading pulse of life
As it walks slowly to it's pantheon
My mind seeks hopeless
Some silence between the screams that are
Ripped off from my throat as if they were
Lightnings of a raging sky
Every time the scars are open
We cherish our lost twilights
Your blood in my tongue
A thousand spirals of exotic scents
Artificial paradise
Concubines dance for our desires
Everlasting is our hate
As it mixes with the wind
Evoke your madness
The black smoke will never let you breathe
This land is full of crows
They show us the great conspiracy
As we travel with our souls
Along with their stone carved lovers
The ruins of unknown futures
Bleed and weep under a striated sky
A secret is hidden
Between endless nightmares
We cover our tears
With rain in the sand
Nailing nightmares with my Claws
On the womb of your memories
Breeding insecure and warm sins
