Fave Anathema Lyrix

[Wolff]

It is not I who sleeps
It is you who sleeps ... you sleep
Insane you sleep, I sleep in sanity

and

With loving passion, oh your radiance
A serenade I cry
Your silk lined coffin the lachrymatory
To hold a mourner's tears

Ethereal splendour
Pale skin and down cast eyes
Scent of paradise
Like her, forever remains unknown

Through tear stained eyes
My view is growing weaker
Please help my grief be vanquished
Thy bed of roses, funereal drapery
Impale my on your thorns

Celestial splendour
Pale skin and down cast eyes
Farewell autumn kisses
Like her, forever remains unknown

I loved her ... but now she's gone
(It's so hard to face)
Overcoming ... tender reckoning

If I too depart the earth
I harmony to (our) heaven we'll elope

Heavenly grace with which to ease
the virgin's tears

 

[Lord S]

2 great songs

 

[Spiff]

In my dreams I can see you
I can tell you how I feel
In my dreams I can hold you
And it feels so real

 

[Russell]

Hard, but I think:

When the silence beckons,
And the day draws to a close,
When the light of your life sighs,
And love dies in your eyes,
Only then will I realise,
What you mean to me.

or

My paralysed heart
is bleeding .....
My love's torn apart
Desire to be free

A bleak garden to cry
When my inamorato died

Loveless so real
Lifeline of mortality
Condemned to misery
Restless oblivion forever

A bleak garden to cry
When my inamorato died

My visionary dreams are vanquished
Aspirations fade away
Reverence dies within

A bleak garden to cry
When my inamorato died

 

[Melancholia]

"Help me to escape from this existence...I yearn for an answer...can you help me?...I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams...in somnolent illusion,I'm paralysed...."
Shroud of Frost


"......another day unfolds,still I exist......"

"Everything that i've ever felt has gone
at last my spirit breathes
I see no point in going on
so goodbye....It's time for me to leave"
This is soooo pessimistic....
The beloved

 

[Anthony]

Mine is REGRET:
"As I drift away far away from you
I feel all alone in a crowded room..."

 

[Anthony]

And "Judgement":
"and time when we was young
when life seemed so long...
day after day
you burned it all away"

 

[ninfinity]

Not really by Anathema but I like very much:When I look at you

"I love the planet
The great benign she-wolf
Benefactor
Spinning gently on towards the red giant four aeons hence
When all the rose gardens are consumed in the flash-fire of flying time
She'll leave alone to you

[...]

From this dark century
It will always be
With generosity
That we both may share
The hope in hearing
THAT WE'RE NOT JUST
SPIRITS DISAPPEARING"

(HOPE)

"I'll dance with the angels to celebrate the holocaust,
And far beyond my far gone pride,
Is knowing THAT WE'LL SOON BE GONE,
KNOWING THAT I'LL SOON BE GONE ...


When will I be gone? In relation to the Universe my life does not take longer than less than a second ...

[_Transparent_]

maybe i always new, my fradgile dreams would be broken...

maybe not the best, but more personal to me.

 

[goneh]

No one can find me
Here in my soul
Kicking and screaming
Out of control
Calm myself down now
Nobody knows
No one can find me
Here in my soul

As I turn away from a life so grey,
Where have all the flowers gone?
Just what went wrong?

We are just a moment in time
A blink of an eye
A dream for the blind
Visions from a dying brain
I hope you don't understand

Another day unfolds, still I exist
Never felt so cold, I never knew I was turning away

And I wonder if you ever wonder the same


--

plenty of it, yeah I know, still it could have easily been more

 

[ShadeGrown]

Angelica-but I'm still burning in your flames...
One last Goodbye-in the early morning light after a silent peaceful night you took my heart away and my being
Emotional Winter-Those wasted moments won't return and we will never feel again
and finally Anyone,Anywhere-
No one seems to care anymore
as I wander through this night all alone
No one feels the pain I have inside
Looking at this world through my eyes

No one really cares where I go
Searching to feel warmth forever more
The wheels of life they turn without me
Now you are gone eternally

 

[requiem]

My favourite lyrics are from Inner Silence, but as someone already mentioned this I'll go for:

"And time recedes everyday
You can search your soul but you won't see
As we pass ever on and away
Towards some blank infinity."

- 'Deep'. Judgement

Very bleak yet beautifully and universally poetic.

 

[Oxiplegatz]

As already mentioned - "Anyone, Anywhere"
and this:

Sometimes I remember all the pain I have seen
Sometimes I wonder what might have been....

Regret

 

[yourdeadgroom]

I dream't of the suns demise, awoke to a bleak morning. I the emptyness I beheld fate for the dead light is a foretelling of what will be....... I saw a soul drift from life, through death, and arrive in Elysian fields in welcoming song. Yet I stand in a dusk filled room, despondantly watching the passing of a kindred spirit... and there is no song, just a delusion of silence.
- Shroud of Frost

That doesn't really come through on the album, but on the live video, it's utterly gut wrenching.

 

[madgirl]

...with all of them!!!!

i think especially
Inner silence
Once last goodbye
and totally
Anyone anywhere !!

all those lyrics are perfect and make me cry because of how brilliantly written they are - and the music itself is incredible!!!
Thankgod for Anathema !!!!!!!

 

[Oxiplegatz]

All Anathema lyrics for me are great. Maybe just because my mood often correponds with the mood of their music.

Probably only James Hetfield's lyrics are that ones I enjoy more.
Fixxxer for example or Fade to Black...
