FidoNet is a worldwide computer network that is used for communication between bulletin board systems (BBSs). It uses a store and forward system to exchange private (email) and public (forum) messages between the BBSs in the network, as well as other files and protocols in some cases. To save on long distance calling charges when those were expensive, FidoNet used a number of techniques to ensure data was compressed using the then-latest methods of data compression.
As a side-effect of its creation history, FidoNet was based on a number of small interacting programs. Only one of these interacted with the BBS system directly, and was the only portion that had to be ported to support other BBS software. As a result, FidoNet was one of the few networks that was widely supported by almost all BBS software, as well as a number of systems for talking to non-BBS online services.
The rapid improvement in modem speeds during the early 1990s, combined with the rapid decrease in price of computer systems and storage, made BBSes increasingly popular, and FidoNet along with it. By the mid-1990s it was possible to communicate with millions of users on tens of thousands of FidoNet systems around the world. Only UUCP came close in terms of breadth or numbers. The network continues to operate but has shrunk considerably, primarily due to the closing of many BBSes during the increase of popularity of the Internet.
"The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either openly or via sabotage.
The earliest recorded use[citation needed] of the term "the Man" in the American sense dates back to a letter written by a young Alexander Hamilton in September 1772, when he was 15. In a letter to his father James Hamilton, published in the Royal Dutch-American Gazette, he described the response of the Dutch governor of St. Croix to a hurricane that raked that island on August 31, 1772. "Our General has issued several very salutary and humane regulations and both in his publick and private measures, has shewn himself the Man." [dubious – discuss] In the Southern U.S. states, the phrase came to be applied to any man or any group in a position of authority, or to authority in the abstract. From about the 1950s the phrase was also an underworld code word for police, the warden of a prison or other law enforcement or penal authorities.
I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
Whispers, potions, puppet with needles
Whispers, potions, puppet with needles
Black night, right time

We're all here and break the spell
Don't follow him
Big Zombie seeks a bride tonight
Voodoonight
Voodoonight
Whispers, potions, puppet with needles
Whispers, potions, puppet with needles
Witchcraft, magic
Odd songs to hear, it's voodoonight
Does it haunt you
The fatefull wish of voodoospell
Voodoonight
Voodoonight
Voodoonight
Voodoonight

I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there.
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
I wanna hold the hand inside you
I wanna take the breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life, you go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there
Chorus:
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
A stranger´s light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath thats true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
Youll come apart and youll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with whats not there.
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you

Perfection of a kind was what he was after
The poetry he invented was easy to understand
He knew human folly like the back of his hand
He had an interest in armies and fleets
When he laughed respectable senators laughed at his feet
You are the Hope on which all purpose hangs
I'm holding onto You
You are the Light that will never fade
I'm fading in to You
Take me, I'm Yours
Jesus, You bought me with Your blood
Use me, I'm Yours
You're the only One I'm thinking of
'Cause I've been born again
You transformed my heart and entered in
Yes, I've been born again
I'll fade out and You fade in...to me
Been on the edge of the darkest days
But then You called my name
I found Your love on the Calvary road
I'll never be the same
Take me, I'm Yours
Jesus, You bought me with Your blood
Use me, I'm Yours
You're the only One I'm thinking of
'Cause I've been born again
You transformed my heart and entered in
Yes, I've been born again
I'll fade out and You fade in
Yes I'll fade in, yes I'll fade in...to You
'Cause I've been born again
You transformed my heart and entered in
Yes, I've been born again
I'll fade out and You fade in
Med skrik och skran som tusen korpars rop.
Vi sliter oss fram ut ur berg och grop
Klor vassa som svard, kaftar lik ulvens
Fram kommer vattar, smaka var eld
Vi dricka ert blod, var livets saft
Sa mycket av det, vi inte pa artusenden haft
Blod och lik nordens kanter randa
Vi ar har, Vi ar har. VATTEANDA
Ogon lysa bland skuggor, nabb och klo
Kott skall slitas for okristen tro
Ogon lysa bland skuggor, nabb och klo
Kott skall slitas for okristen tro
Ofott barn och havande kvinna
de smaka bast I nattens dimma
Ofott barn och havande kvinna
de smaka bast I nattens dimma
RIV, BRODER; RIV!
RIV, BRODER, RIV!
Late one night i was fixin' to fight
A dirty hustler tryin' to cop my $$$
When from behind a whiskey bottle
Cracked me then i hit the floor
Barely alive i could feel him drive
A black needle in to draw my blood
With an evil grin he sang a mojo hymn
And left me face down in the mud
Dark angel gonna get me
Lord, set me free
I've been cursed by a voodoo hand
Black magic all around
Oh mama, pray for my soul
I'm dying on this killing ground
Cursed by a voodoo hand
Death's needle pushing down
Oh mama, pray for my soul
I'm dying on this killing ground
Well, i headed south by word of mouth
To a shack down Louisiana way
I meet another man with voodoo hands
And this is what he had to say
I feel it in my bones
That your restless soul's
Tormented by an evil curse
But if this mojo man
Got your blood in his hands
No way the spell can be reversed
Dark angel ain't gonna let me be
I've been cursed by a voodoo hand
Black magic all around
Oh mama, pray for my soul
I'm dying on this killing ground
Cursed by a voodoo hand
Death's needle pushing, pushing
Oh mama, pray for my soul
I'm dying on this killing ground
Oh Lord, i'm dying
Cursed by a voodoo hand
Black magic all around
Oh mama, pray for my soul
I'm dying on this killing ground
Cursed by a voodoo hand
Death's needle pushing down
Oh mama, pray for my soul
I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there.
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
I wanna hold the hand inside you
I wanna take the breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life, you go in shadow
You'll come upon and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Close your eyes with what's not there
Chorus:
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
The strange light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart is out of home
You put your hands into your head
