And this guy calls himself a fan...

[dreaming neon darkspot]

I agree with you completely...I'm not into that album at all, and I'm a huge DT fan. That album was just really disapointing to me. They did what I thought they would never do and that's concentrate on the vocal aspect of the music. That is just strange considering the fact that Mike Portnoy has always considered vocals a "necessary evil" Oh well...


Arch Enemy is so generic, boring, and lyrically challenged.

Lyrically challenged? How can they be?? They speak to the tortured souls Hot Topic's taget audience!

 

[metallicasucksponypenis]

its not arch enemys fault. name me one band whose native tongue isnt english who writes good english lyrics. early sepultura lyrics were especially hilarious.

 

[Will Bozarth]

Candlemass has FANTASTIC lyrics.

They're Swedish.

Then theres the Norwegian Green Carnation... then there's Necrophagist from Germany.

 

[metallicasucksponypenis]

Candlemass:

A Sorcerer's Pledge

[Part I]

Time stands still in these ancient halls
Only the castle itself can tell what it keeps
Dark are the secrets between these walls
hidden in shadows of death, while the sorcerer sleeps

Where is the morning
where is the sun
Thousand years of midnight
the sunrise is gone
An old man marked by a life so long

Is sleeping so sweet while his magic is growing so strong
Waiting still for new times to come
a thousands years to see if he has won

Where is the morning
where is the sun
A thousand years of midnight

the sunrise is gone
I
What has he done ?
Why is he sleeping so long ?
He wants to live for evermore

Soon is he young
n will he open his eyes ?
When he is strong enough to rule

Back in our time goes the legend
of a sorcerer so old
He drank the blood of the virgin to be reborn
Soon a tyrant will conquer
So spoke the wise
of the day when the sorcerer will rise

Blood is his wine
The sorcerer is cheating on time
and he'll be stronger than before

Cursed be the sun
the women will weep for his fun
In the name of his magic so strong

[Part II]
A thousand years have gone
Armageddon hasn't come
Only the cry of a child echoes in the dark
wards goes time
as the stars are passing by
and nothing remains of this foolish man except his fate



Green Carnation:

Childsplay Part I

[music: Tchort, lyrics: Tchort]

Sun setting on a sweet summers day
The sound of children playing a wicked game
Leaving stains on the soul
Twilight crawled across the sky
Dark Shadows - rushed me

At the end of the day,
Will they talk of me?
Did anyone see me play?
Did anyone want me to stay?

Alone again, this is the end my friend
Torn between you and me, this is the end
Sun setting on a sweet summers day
The sound of children playing a wicked game
Leaving stains, on the soul

Twilight crawled across the sky
Did anyone say goodbye?
Did anyone see you?
The playground is empty now
The children play no more
The game is over

A ball is lying still
Painted circle, a child's thrill
The game is over
Lying on my back watching the stars
Another sunrise, another sunset passes by
Lying down to take a rest:forever



Necrophagist:

Only Ash Remains

Fear is never gone from your soul
that saw humiliation.
Being prey to the blackest of demons,
paralyzed you fail.

Fallen beneath
the mark of dignity,
you fail.

(A) demon passed on from one
to the next infiltrates
a mind innocent and pure;
planting the seed to possess
another soul that is doomed to fail.

Only Ash Remains

[Solos: Muenzner/ Suicmez/ Muenzner/ Suicmez]

(A) demon passed on from one
to the next infiltrates
a mind innocent and pure;
being prey to the blackest
of demons, paralyzed they fail.

Fallen beneath
the mark of dignity,
they fail.

Only Ash Remains

Those are good lyrics. Writing lyrics sucks...I hate it. But nobody else in my band will bother to do it. Not even the goddamn singer. WTF.
