There are lots of songs with great lyrics IMO, and i especially like the ones of nightwish.

Dead Boy´s Poem (nightwish)

Born from silence, silence full of it
A perfect concert my best friend
So much to live for, so much to die for
If only my heart had a home

Sing what you can`t say
Forget what you can`t play
Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes
Walk within my poetry, this dying music
- My loveletter to nobody

Never sigh for better world
It`s already composed, played and told
Every thought the music I write
Everything a wish for the night

Wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin
Died for the beauty the one in the garden
Created a kingdom, reached for the wisdom
Failed in becoming a god

Never sigh...

"If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it
Remember only the verse, songmaker`s cry, the one without tears
For I`ve given this its strength and it has become my only strength.
Comforting home, mother`s lap, chance for immortality
Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew
The sweet piano writing down my life"

"Teach me passion for I fear it`s gone
Show me love, hold the lorn
So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
I`m sorry
Time will tell (this bitter farewell)
I live no more to shame nor me nor you

And you... I wish I didn`t feel for you anymore..."

A lonely soul... An ocean soul...

Yeah nightwish has great lyrics...Probably the best......
But my favorite is:

Resident Writer
by Cooper Temple Clause

(No one helped me fall)
You'll never guess who I just saw
He's autumn black and now his hair's gone
For added effect

(No one helped me fall)
Trying to fool the sin again
He's tried and played the role a few times
You just have to laugh

When all of this is said and done
When you cracked heads and got it on
Me? I'm where you found me at the start.

When you've grown out of this machine
Remember how I never seem to see life
For sleeping in the dark

(No one helped us all)
Now who the hell is here to say
That he could make a go on his own?
With his latest fan

(No one helped us all)
Never got the feeling back
Never got the time to write home
Or make us happy

I was always led to believe
That there'd be a way to pack up and leave
But why can't we be lonely?
Playful and free?
I've taken the test and failed with ease

When all of this is said and done
When you cracked heads and got it on
Me? I'm where you found me at the start.

When you've grown out of this machine
Remember how I never seem to see life
Or sleeping in the dark

So leave me to these stupid words
I'll pick my grave on silly curses
All I expected of myself

Yeah I'll be dead, sick, pissed and bitter
Trying to string a word together
Yeah well, we all know how it hurts

 

[Ralf]

Yeah nightwish has great lyrics...Probably the best......

BUAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAA!!!

 

[Decadetroll]

I really like Norther - Dead lyrics.. There´s pain within,
I can´t define
Inside, within, inside,
illhealthy I feel

When your inmost yields
and you fall
deeper and deeper into grief
for each breath you take



Dark dresses my pale skin
cold shivers down my spine
I have lost hope
of loving a day of life
Faith
has fallen from me
I´m rotting inside
Fear
sickening conditions
frightening reflections
...feeling divine!!!

...so dim the light in me...
...no nothing...
...all ending...


Sleeping well in my killing bed
staring blind around -
Am I slipping away?
In the hollow decorating my grave
begging please...
disconnect the pain


When you´re going blind
from your tears
and you wander deeper
and deeper into sorrow
for each step you take
And your feet won´t carry
you no more
and you sink deeper
and deeper into misery
and you´ll soon be...dead



...so dim the light in me...
...no nothing...
...all ending...

Ok, lets start with Vintersorg - Norrland, guess most of you dont understand the lyrics so I wont post them but they do a good job describing how I feel about Norrland, (the northern regions of sweden, where I live, for those who didnt know). OK, two quotes just for the hell of it
​

"En äventyrsfärd
Med drömmande tjärn och förrädisk myr
Där fjällväggar rest sig omkring
Och fimbulkölden lystet lurar
Där vargkörers klagohymn
Är pulsslag i mitt hjärta"

"Mot söder jag vandrat
Att skåda dess vida slätter
Då ett gastavred så lömskt Jag vände så mot norr
Och fann min själafrid"

.....

Hmm, Thyrfings Ångestens Högborg also has great lyrics, but you wont understand them either I guess...

....

Soooo.. some lyrics in english then:

Primordial - Gods To The Godless

I have one desire
let it be
a pestilence upon your lands
a plague upon all your houses
it is my wish
to enslave all your people
The soil enriched with their blood
To burn your places of Worship
Our gods shall become your gods

All that lives on the vine is rotten
may your wines be foul
and your bread as the flesh of the dead
an ill wind to bring nought but decay
and the stench of your Slaughtered kin

The newborn, borne with fear in their eyes
and slavery in their limbs
as tools to build a new Empire
We are your cross to bear
Perhaps you shall be a martyred people
But as sure as the Night follows the Day
...a Dead People

Excellent song, excellent lyrics that makes me go ..
(I wonder if anybody actually reads through this though, but who cares)

 

[Ralf]

I was always huge fan of Anathema lyrics, most of them are great pieces. This is one of my favs - "Lost Control"

Life.. has betrayed me once again
I accept that some things will never change.
I've let your tiny minds magnify my agony
and it's left me with a chemical dependency for sanity.

Yes, I am falling... how much longer 'till I hit the ground?
I can't tell you why I'm breaking down.
Do you wonder why I prefer to be alone?
Have I really lost control?

I'm coming to an end,
I've realized what I could have been.
I can't sleep so I take a breath and hide behind my bravest mask,
I admit I've lost control
Lost control...

 

[drakkar_anni]

I really like the lyrics to Angel Dust - Still I'm Bleeding, very 'awww' heh. It's a really beautiful song too.

Still I'm Bleeding

My dear wife, seems my life is over
without you
I dream of you in every glacial night,
that I'm alone
You're so far away from the thundering guns
round my head - so far

I feel your tears
Dropping slowly down on my skin
I can taste your lips on mine
Let me kiss you before I must die

Oh, my love, what has been done to us?
Or was there anything - I could have done?
Your tears are the ocean,
that spends love and hope and faith -
for my wounded heart - to heal

I feel your tears
Drying away off my skin
The shine within your eyes
Will soon enlighten my night

But still I'm fighting
But still I'm bleeding
See their dying eyes and suffering
OH my love, I need to kill

Believe in me, I promise you,
I soon will close my arms around you

But still I'm killing
And still I'm bleeding
I suppose to see, there's nothing real
The answer might once be found in me

Also CoB - Touch Like Angel of Death, but no need to post those.

@ Johanna
I read the lyrics...and the ones posed here...
Well I think that the lyrics are the most powerful parts of most songs...they can mean different things to different people...and you can tell a lot(or a bit) about a person by their fav lyrics ...but then again I'm just a crazy person...so don't mind me...

 

[Profanity]

Probably P[rofanity - When Colour becomes Pallor

 

[WristCut]

Norther - Nothing

Every day the pain comes back again
The grief that tightens it's grip day by day
Loneliness it haunts me, makes me cry
Feels like the world has abandoned me

I'm weak, I'm nothing
Just a shadow of my life
My heart is dead and still I dream of you
Don't you understand you're the reason for my pain?

I hear you calling me to come
There's no-one I can see
Just the nights cold breeze
Oh god, I'm so alone, so alone

I fear the darkness that makes me blind
There's nothing I can feel
These tears are nothing without you
I'm nothing without you

Can you see my heart broken like my life?
Nothing to hold on, nothing to live for
This pain is too much for me to take
Holding on to you was like holding on to nothing

Mu trust for you tore me apart
I gave all for you from my heart

I fear the darkness that makes me blind
There's nothing I can feel
These tears are nothing without you
I'm nothing without you

Can you see my heart broken like my life?
Nothing to hold on, nothing to live for
This pain is too much for me to take
Holding on to you was like holding on to nothing

I love that song and its lyrics.

 

[BodomIsYourGod]

My face turned pale before the cold eyes of death
My body was frozen by the stare from the dark
I don't want to think of anything, but there's storm of thoughts in my head
I wasn't prepared for this, 'cause I'm not ready to die
Nothing could have prepared me for this

Nothing but blood so red and deceased
Nothing but pain, I fall on my knees
Tormenting demons, I suffer and bleed
Only way out is through window of dreams

The rain whips the lonely and crushed soul
The dark clouds are closing fast, the wind is blowing the colours of life
away
The growing shadow will darken my dreams, and with the fire inside me it
feeds
I'll be screaming in the stars when it's over
Storms are raging on the path to home, once so silent and calm
the desperate glare of the dark light is cast on the fallen one
And when the illusions sigh no more, the journey to new dream will carry on
'cause life is just a beautiful death

Life turns a new and strange page
They will try to take everything away from me
You'll never know the future
Save me from the rain
Tell me what matters in life, if anything
I'm struggling with sickness
They will try to take everything away from me
Are you trying to hide from the end
Save me from the rain
Save me from the end

`Cause life will always be withering away from us
I want to be alone with you
and I'll give my heart to you, before I go
'cause life is just a beautiful, beautiful death

WINTERSUN-BEAUTIFUL DEATH

 

[Heavenscent]

E-LE-VA-TION!

WOOOOOHOOOO!
WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!

WOOOOOHOOOO!
WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!

And of course:

Auschwitz, the meaning of pain
The way that I want you to die
Slow death, immense decay
Showers that cleanse you of your life
Forced in
Like cattle
You run
Stripped of
Your life's worth
Human mice, for the Angel of Death
Four hundred thousand more to die
Angel of Death
March to the kingdom of the dead
Sadistic, surgeon of demise
Sadist of the noblest blood

Destroying, without mercy
To benefit the Arian race

Surgery, with no anesthesia
Fell the knife pierce you intensely
Inferior, no use to mankind
Strapped down screaming out to die
Angel of Death
March to the kingdom of the dead
Infamous butcher,
Angel of Death

Pumped with fluid, inside your brain
Pressure in your skull begins pushing through your eyes
Burning flesh, drips away
Test of heat burns your skin, your mind starts to boil
Frigid cold, cracks your limbs
How long can you last
In this frozen water burial?
Sewn together, joining heads
Just a matter of time
'Til you rip yourselves apart
Millions laid out in their
Crowded tombs
Sickening ways to achieve
The holocaust
Seas of blood, bury life
Smell your death as it burns
Deep inside of you
Abacinate, eyes that bleed
Praying for the end of
Your wide awake nightmare
Wings of pain, reach out for you
His face of death staring down,
Your blood running cold
Injecting cells, dying eyes
Feeding on the screams of
The mutants he's creating
Pathetic harmless victims
Left to die
Rancid Angel of Death
Flying free

Angel of Death
March to the kingdom of the dead
Infamous butcher,
Angel of Death

Angel of Death

Auschwitz, the meaning of pain
The way that I want you to die
Slow death, immense decay
Showers that cleanse you of your life
Forced in
Like cattle
You run
Stripped of
Your life's worth
Human mice, for the Angel of Death

THAT is really sth i can't tolerate at all. what the fuck???????? and i don't care if it is meant ironically or like a metapher or anything. you just don't write things like that.fuckers

 

[Heavenscent]

It's more a song against nazism than approving of it, you know. At least it has some power in it, some oomph. And it's not the best lyric, imo. I just wanted to get away from the Norther thing, cause, frankly, all their lyrics appear identical to me. At least all the ones on Death Unlimited is about how much life sucks and darkness this, shadow that, ooh I'm gonna kill myself....goth. But that's just a matter of taste, and I don't like it.

 

[Missery]

^hehe, me neither.But it's not too much about the lyrics with norther's music... i think it's the same thing like with cob....

 

[delt]

That's Angel of death (slayer) it's about some sick experiments german scientists were doing on people in world war 2 i think.............

anyway, good song but the solos suck and they're deliberately out of key.

 

[delt]

> Destroying, without mercy
> To benefit the Arian race

i believe it's "defender of the arian race"...... if i remember correctly.

 

[Wings of a dream]

X Japan
Endless Rain
Words & Music by Yoshiki

I'm walking in the rain
yuku ate mo naku kizutsuita karada nurashi
karamitsuku koori no zawameki
koroshi tsuzukete samayou itsu made mo
Until I can forget your love

nemuri wa mayaku
tohou ni kureta kokoro o shizuka ni tokasu
mai agaru ai o odorasete
furueru karada o kioku no bara ni tsutsumu
I keep my love for you to myself

* Endless rain, fall on my heart kokoro no kizu ni
Let me forget all of the hate, all of the sadness

Days of joy, days of sadness slowly pass me by
As I try to hold you, you are vanishing before me
You're just an illusion
When I'm awaken, my tears have dried in the sands of sleep
I'm a rose blooming in the desert

It's a dream, I'm in love with you
madoromi dakishimete
I awake from my dream
I can't find my way without you

The dreaming is over
koe ni naranai - kotoba o kurikaeshite mo
takasugiru hai iro no kabe wa
sugi satta hi no omoi o yume ni utsusu
Until I can forget you love

repeat *

Endless rain, fall on my heart kokoro no kizu ni
Let me forget all of the hate, all of the sadness
Endless rain, fall on my heart kokoro no kizu ni
Let my heart take in your tears, take in your memories




Put that song into an amazingly beautiful written melody and yes it can make you cry. Either that or I´m turning into an X Japan freak.
