Best lyrics in death metal?

[demon ethereal]

um, its death metal. they arent gonna sing some shit about a fuckin tree in the woods with the dim lit sun shining a moon covered shadow upon the throne of the deep enchanment.

Uhh, yes they will. Read any of Opeth's lyrics?

if u had the cd you would be able to read up on the background behind each song on, as they have a historical explaination behind each story. it's quite fascinating and yes, i still think their lyrics are amazing.

btw, the whole sodomizing virgins thing was based on an actual event, they just turned it into a song.

But it's *still* getting really old.

I'm always fascinated with the amount of people who are impressed with Nile's historical facts. It's great that they've done that, but it's no different than what a grade school student does, and really speaks more to the lack of thought put into the lyrics on the part of other bands, than on the seemingly difficult task done by Nile.

As for gory lyrics, they work when their used as details within the whole of the topic in the song. When they are used as the point of focus, that's when it distracts and loses meaning, imo. Sexual exploitations of women in lyrics are childish and ape-like.

Ooooo finally someone who share my opnion!! Oh I love you I love you mwahahah

Immolation has the best lyrics in my opinion, but I never really care for reading death metal lyrics.
