Redemption - What Will You Say.

Very emotional and very fitting to what I felt after a break up with a person I had been with for a little over four years.

What will you say about me?
Will you say I was a good man?
That you felt my love and that you loved me too
What will you say about me?
Will you say that it was perfect
Or it wasn't worth the pain I put you through?

Seems so strange
We just let this slip away

One day in the arms of another
When you're close enough to share
The dreams you'd wished would be
What will you say about me?

What will you tell him about me?
Will you say that we were soulmates
And you knew our lives were meant to be as one?
What will you think about
When you've a family all your own?
Will you wonder where your other half has gone?

Happiness
Slips like sand between our fingers
Never to return

One day in the arms of another
When you're close enough to share
The dreams you'd wished would be
What will you say about me?
One day (one day)
Far apart from each other
Will you think about the chance for love you threw away?
What will you say?

We had more than most have dreamed
And I cannot conceive
The reasons that you couldn't let it be
And as the years go by
And we live out our lives
I'll always wonder why
You wouldn't spend yours here with me

One day in the arms of another
When you're close enough to share
The dreams you'd wished would be
What will you say about me?

One day (one day)
Far apart from each other
Will you think about the chance for love you threw away?
Will you think about mistakes you made along the way?
Will you think about the place that we might be today?
What will you say?

Lately the 2 PQ songs "follow your heart" and "Better days" have given me a lot of thoughts, so have to add them to this thread

But will be to much text with two songs so wont post the lyrics here. But I assume most of you know them

 

[Shredgirl]

One fire
A silent storm in every spirit
Locked behind a lonely dream still aware
When soldiers of fortune take your mind
The heart is your kingdom
Like magic when you find

Intuition
One decision
Hold your heartbeat in your hand
Intuition, one decision
Let your dream command

One answer
The destiny of every moment
Lost inside a hungry voice in the dark
No evil illusions
No empty prayer
The heart is your kingdom
So follow if you dare

Intuition
One decision
Hold your heartbeat in your hand
Intuition, one decision
Hold your heartbeat in your hand

Intuition
One decision

When soldiers of fortune take your mind
The heart is your kingdom
Like magic when you find

Intuition
One decision
Hold your heartbeat in your hand
Intuition, one decision
Let your dream command


TNT - Intuition

 

[moleSG]

Spinning further deeper
I know you're out to try me
I'm not in this to be a slave
I push the dirt
Make me feel
Locate what swallows life
Night bird you build my world

And then I close my eyes
And then I close my eyes

<Chorus>
Judge me now
Used to be afraid to let it show, bow down
good king in my own mind
Everything is in place
So much brighter from today

Drown the monster
Make all bad dreams go away
Whatever it takes to keep your hands free
Open scars
My Quiet Place
All the bridges fall to the ground,
and you say you sacrificed

And then I close my eyes
And then I close my eyes

(CHORUS)

Judge me now
A king in my own mind
Judge me now
A king in my own mind

(CHORUS)

In Flames - The Quiet Place

Love these lyrics 'cos they really fit with when I started coming out of my shell - socially and in other ways - and I love the attitude of "Go ahead, judge me, I am who I am".

 

[Prosopagnosia11]

Be still my beating heart
It would be better to be cool
It's not time to be open just yet
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget
Be still my beating heart
Or I'll be taken for a fool
It's not healthy to run at this pace
The blood runs so red to my face
I've been to every single book I know
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so

I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart

Restore my broken dreams
Shattered like a falling glass
I'm not ready to be broken just yet
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget

Be still my beating heart
You must learn to stand your ground
It's not healthy to run at this pace
The blood runs so red to my face
I've been to every single book I know
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so

Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart

Never to be wrong
Never to make promises that break
It's like singing in the wind
Or writing on the surface of a lake
And I wriggle like a fish caught on dry land
And I struggle to avoid any help at hand

I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart



Sting - Be Still My Beating Heart


Sting is one of my favorite songwriters!

 

[Nickstervarius]

One of my favourite set of lyrics has to be City Of Lies by Power Quest. Everytime I hear this - I get Goosebumps, I'm singing/smiling throughout the whole track, sometimes I have tears in my eyes (With happiness, of course - Don't judge ) - It's just a beautiful song. Hope they play it live one day *Crosses fingers*

'Carry our hope for all these years
And letting go your fears
To leave the mark on Neverworld'

Fantastic.

 

[1928]

Really loving the lyrics to the chorus of Angra's song Breaking Ties. The music itself is incredible too, really has a Spanish folk thing going for it!

"I have cried for you, lost my pride for you
Now that you have gone, I can't see the sun
I have to lied to you, I have tried to do what you want me to
It's a perfect day to throw it all away"

 

[Blinded No More]

Two songs for you this time:

Sonata Arctica "Draw Me"

Blessed with an eye to see things as they are, will you draw me?
Up there on the wall, looking down to us all, you never saw me...
I found a pen, and I outlined a life.
You've never cried, I think I saw a tear in your eye.

Your eyes tell the tale, I will not ask again.
Now I see what you've lost nothing is quite the same.
By the love of my heart, cut my drawing in half, for I think I'm like you... Should you draw me...

Waiting for my evenfall.

Farewell, my passion, you slowly turn pale.
I will long for you warmth, made me feel safe.
I will not draw again, 'till I know it's my time.
I have lived a long life, should I draw me...

Morning's here, I must have....failed

Someone save me...


ReinXeed "Fantasia"

Open the book, tell me&#65279; the story
of the world deep inside our minds
They have been told
that one day a savior will come
the key in his heart will open the gate forever
No reason to turn away, no reason to go

Fantasia this is where I long to be
Fantasia all my dreams come true with you
Fantasia listen when I call for you
From where I am, there will be a new tomorrow

Dream away, forever the light of your fantasy will rise
Hear how&#65279; they call
They're calling for you
Sooner or later Fantasia will rise
Rise in you

 

[Gibbon]

Not really a favourite, as it's not really any serious lyrics, but one line from Back through time by Alestorm, always makes me giggle;

You put your faith in Odin and Thor - We put ours in cannons and whores!

 

[1928]

Haha, Gibbon! Got a smile out of that one when I first heard it.

 

[Indestructible]

i really like these lyrics from metallica - holier than thou,

Before you judge me take a look at you
Can't you find something better to do
Point the finger, slow to understand
Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand

 

[Shredgirl]

(Verse1)
For all I've been blessed with in this life
There was an emptiness in me
I was imprisoned by the power of gold
With one honest touch you set me free

(Chorus)
Let the world stop turnin'
Let the sun stop burnin'
Let them tell me
Love's not worth goin' through
If it all falls apart
I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered
Had come true
In this life I was loved by you

(Verse2)
For every mountain I have climbed
Every raging river crossed
You were the treasure
That I longed to find
Without your love I would be lost

(Chorus)
Let the world stop turnin'
Let the sun stop burnin'
Let them tell me
Love's not worth going through
If it all falls apart
I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered
Had come true
In this life I was loved by you

In this life I was loved...
By you


Colin Raye - In This Life

 

[1928]

Old thread bump! Stratovarius - Nighttime Eclipse...

"Waiting for the dawn soon to arrive
So few options that I have; that I can use
Life's circumstances can be so cruel
If I take a chance, I just might make the wrong move"

... and Stratovarius - When The Night Meets The Day.

"Days of loving and gold kept me from feeling so old
Times I'll always recall when the night meets the day
Gates of heaven I saw while flying through misty dawn
Those days I'll always recall when the night meets the day"
