somewhere in the milky way
What lyrics do you like in what song or what band do you think consistently had great lyrics and really kind of moved you.
I like crystal mountain by Death
Razing eden by Sparrowsmetal
Desolate spheres by Obscura
 
I'm not much on lyrics or their interpretation/meaning, but I will say I really like chanted style lyrics. See bits on: Dordeduh, Ghost, Enslaved on tracks like Havenless, etc.
 
Martin Walkyier's lyrics in Skyclad are probably the best in metal

Civil War Dance

While sons and daughters of the empire
Stained the map red, white and blue
Back at home the storm clouds thundered
Dole queues lengthened - unrest grew
'til the tides of fresh opinion
Washed away the world they knew.

Exchange inhuman wrongs for human rights
This underdog not only barks - it bites!

Take your partners for our civil war dance
Open season on the under worked and overpaid.
Erase the Constitution - a bloody revolution
Is the simplest solution to the problems that they have made.

Children of the urban third world
Breast fed lies and cathode rays
Speak their minds down party chat lines
(they don't have that much to say)
Told nothing of the world we live in
Or that it will be theirs someday.

This system cultivates our lust and greed
With anti-social insecurity.

Take your partners for our civil war dance
Open season on the under worked and overpaid.
Erase the Constitution - a bloody revolution
Is the simplest solution to the problems that they have made.

The preacher tells us all that heaven waits
So pay your "soul tax" when you reach the gates.

Take your partners for our civil war dance
Open season on the under worked and overpaid.
Erase the Constitution - a bloody revolution
Is the simplest solution to the problems that they have made.

Livestock bred to feed the cannon
Hands grown hard with honest toil
Fuel the fires of mass rebellion
Hatred's cauldron starts to boil
They fight for something they believe in
Not another nation's oil.

Britannia cowers in her public school
Once too often now she's waived the rules.

Take your partners for our civil war dance
Open season on the under worked and overpaid.
Erase the Constitution - a bloody revolution
Is the simplest solution to the problems that they have made.
 
Gehennah - Merry Shitmas

It's Christmas morning and You're so glad
Gonna get some presents from Mom and Dad
You take a look under the Christmas tree
A very special present You now can see

The special present can't wait 'til later
In your excitement You rip off the paper
Suddenly You notice a very strange smell
It's from the present, You can tell

Merry Shitmas!

Santa's very special big surprise
A sausage of shit surrounded by flies
Merry shitmas, stupid child
This is what you get for being nice and mild

Very Merry Shitmas!

(The shitmas carol/Stringburner)

Repeat verse 3

Merry Shitmas!

Antaeus - Words as Weapons

Words brought back to life
Those meaning and those invective tone we had
What did affect without effect
Took another form one will never neglect
Torments of angels that faded
aLL those shade I had to sew back making all one
Reaching none while
All those shadows I had to fake
Hiding some form Praying the One...
Trapped in a body
My own betrayer
Not allowing any moves nor excess
An unsharp tool that damage unity
An enemy within that evolves toward statues
Lack of motion, lack of action, Mind overprocessing
For he hath shown the way and put on my path
The pain and the torture of a shattered body
I shall go on, wearin the burden of Pain, turning it
Glorifying it
For it didn't limit the strong For it didn't stop the Evilution
For it just changed the process
And made the whole scheme higher
Battling on different mindfield
Words as weapons
Eyes as judges
Smell victory
and fucking sense your defeat
cunt

"Bestial powers straight from Hell
A Mayhemic orgy sound
We're all under an Infernal spell
Let's bury the posers in the ground

Tonight We'll set the Spirit free
The Holocaust is near
Black-winged Demons is all you'll see
And the sound of Death you'll hear

The sign of Hell We bear
The oath of Black We swear
We're the Legions of the Dark
We're blessed with Satan's mark
So don't you mess with Us!

We're Hard as Steel - Hot as Hell
Hard as Steel - Hot as Hell

We're the Master, you're the slaves
Stay out of our lair
Because if you enter, no need for graves
You better die, We'll never care
...You're skin We'll wear..."
