[master of the damned]

I'll start with a few bands

Metallica - music - Ride the Lightning
lyrics - And Justice For All

Megadeth - music - Rust In Peace
Lyrics - Peace Sells...But Whos Buying

Nevermore - music and lyrics - Dead Heart In A Dead World

Iced Earth - Music and lyrics - Horror Show

Ozzy - music - Diary of a Madman
lyrics - Ozzmosis

Alice In Chains - Music - Facelift
lyrics - s/t

Black Sabbath - Music and lyrics - Sabotage

Iron Maiden - music and Lyrics - Brave New World

Slayer - music - Reign In Blood
lyrics - Seasons in the Abyss

Choose any band, I stuck with mainly generic bands so try to be diverse. Also remember, each is entitled to their own opinion, so try to keep the insults to minimum.

[master of the damned]

I like the lyrics to the self titled AiC album,the line

"you'd be well advised not to plan my funeral before the body dies"

I LOVE THAT!!!!

plus, some of those songs are really dark and depressing and for some reason I am into that

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

The lyrics to the s/t AiC cd are good...but I just like the Dirt lyrics better...that album is even more depressing..."Dirt" is a classic...but on s/t,"Shame in You" is a really sad song,I think.But because of the sond and the way Staley's singing,not becuz of the lyrics.
