Favourite Metal Lyrics?

[False Joe]

Still my favourite first verse ever.

I need new ways to torture all my bitches
Peel off their skin or cover them in stitches
Sometimes they bleed sometime they spit
Sometimes I feed on their half decayed clit
I've scraped out their guts through their torn open cunt

And of course, Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings.
SPILL, YOUR BLOOD
offer me good oooomen
MAKE THE SACRIFICE
the hours close at haaaand
TAKE. YOUR VERY LIFE

THIS
I
COMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND

 

[seedofvengeance]

Say what you will, but I stick with what I say. If useing those songs will scare your english teacher into letting you do what ever you want for your essays, then I think that they deserve the best lyrics title.

You're gonna do well here.

The classic Queensryche albums all have pretty great lyrics in general, but the middle of Spreading the Disease has always been one of my favorites:

Religion and sex are powerplays
Manipulate the people for the money they pay
Selling skin, selling God
The numbers look the same on their credit cards

 

[Doomguy]

the best intro to a song is

I wanna slit your throat and fuck the wound
I wanna push my face in and feel the swoon
I wanna dig inside, find a little bit of me
Cuz the line gets crossed when you dont come clean

Slipknot aren't metal.
Well, I guess they're Nu Metal, but that is basically not metal.
And they suck.

 

[Hatebreeder]

I always enjoy Meshuggah's lyrics.

"Autonomy Lost"
I stay my breath to escape this slavery
I stay my breath to re-awake and face it encore
The struggle to free myself of restraints, becomes my very shackles

 

[thegriffeffect]

Slipknot aren't metal.
Well, I guess they're Nu Metal, but that is basically not metal.
And they suck.

At least they're better than the misfits and HIM.

 

[seedofvengeance]

THEY'RE not better than the Misfits. I repeat THEY'RE.

 

[thegriffeffect]

Sorry about the error just running low on sleep. You like the misfits good for you they have just never been a band I liked.

Drudkh - Solitude

Думи мої, думи мої,
Лихо мені з вами!
Нащо стали на папері
Сумними рядами?..
чом вас вітер не розвіяв
В степу, як пилину?
Чом вас лихо не приспало,
Як свою дитину?..
Бо вас лихо на світ на сміх породило,
Поливали сльози... чом не затопили,
Не винесли в море, не розмили в полі?..
Не питали б люди - що в мене болить?
Не питали б, за що проклинаю долю,
Чого нуджу світом? "Нічого робить"...

Журбою
Не накличу собі долі,
Коли так не маю.
Нехай злидні живуть три дні -
Я їх заховаю,
Заховаю змію люту
Коло свого серця,
Щоб вороги не бачили,
Як лихо сміється...
Нехай думка, як той ворон,
Літає та кряче,
А серденько соловейком
Щебече та плаче
Нишком - люди не побачать,
То й не засміються...
Не втирайте ж мої сльози,
Нехай собі ллються,
Чуже поле поливають
Щодня і щоночі,
Поки попи не засиплють
Чужим піском очі...

translation **************************

My thoughts, my thougths,
Woe unto me!
Why did you stay on the paper
With sad lines?..
Why the wind didn't scatter you
In the steppe such dust?
Why the grief didn't lull you,
Such its child?..
Because grief gave you life for laugh,
Been pouring tears... why haven't drowned?
Haven't thrown in the sea, haven't washed away in the field?
Then people would't ask what hurts me?
Wouldn't ask why I curse my fate,
Why knock about the world? "Got nothing to do"...

With sorrow
I won't build my fate,
If it shouldn't happen.
Let poverty live for three days -
I'll burry them,
Bury the that fierce snake
Right by my heart,
So the enemies won't see,
How the grief laughs...
Let the thought such that raven,
Fly and caws,
While my heart such nightingale
Sings and cries.
By stealth - people will not see,
And won't laugh...
So don't wipe away my tears,
Let them shed,
Pour somebody's field,
Every day and every night,
Till popes won't fill
The eyes with somebody's sand ...


PS: it's a part of an old poem by famous ukrainian writer Taras Schevchenko (1840). Might seem weird, but its just because I translated it myself and mostly because of the specificy of the culture.

 

[Valdincan]

Agalloch - I Am The Wooden Doors

"When all is withered and torn
And all has perished and fallen
These great wooden doors shall remain closed

When the heart is a grave filled with blood
And the soul is a cold and haunted shall of lost hope
When the voice of pride has been silenced
And dignity's fires are but cinders
their grandeur shall remain untainted

It is this grandeur that protects the spirit within
From the plight of this broken world, from the wounds in her song
I wish to die with my will and spirit intact
The will that inspired me to write these words
Seek not the fallen to unlock these wooden doors"

Empyrium - Ode To Melancholy

"Melancholy - still my desire for thy precious tragedian wine...
Sweep me away, into the vale of thine!
Where sorrow's strong and so is joy.

Melancholy - still my desire, O let my heart by thee inspire...
O fill the air with thy sweet scent,
Let thy light, thy star crescent.

Wherever she dwells I will bid a farewell sigh
For she dwells with beauty - beauty that must die
And deep inside me I will wait for her return
To her enchanting, awe-inspiring flame I'll yearn

O lust and rueful thought be mine,
My soul enhanced, desires...
Melancholy.
My heart is thine."

 

[Bitencourt29]

Slipknot and Tool? Best lyrics?

Go fornicate thine own self with a pointy stick.

ROFL

 

[Avigrus]

I love the lyrics to Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings.

Also, Alchemist have some great lyrics.

Alchemist - Great Southern Wasteland

Amongst the virulent and multiplying beauties of this southern land
lies a poison legacy for future generations to withstand.
We are curators of all earthly life, united we must speak our minds.
The toxic byproducts of nuclear activities we can't rewind.

Morning iris at sunrise, awakens to another day.
Your new world ever changing, as you bloom, you decay.

Future descendants of this time will never know a life of purity.
For our mistakes made in the era, we have damned them to obscurity.

First we tear down the forests to retrieve that tainted ore,
then we bury the outcome on an ancient ocean floor.

Wilderness of ancient land, torn open by the greed of man.
Vulnerable tribes silently screaming in pain,
the mining of ancestral soils are the deeds of the insane.

Most dangerous substance known to human, dug up and spread all over the
land.

Earth tearing machines, mine sickness from the ground,
now for thousands of years no life will be found.
Once as pristine as creation, now a human induced abomination.

 

[A1a23]

One of my longtime favorites:

Autopsy - Shiteater

Ass in the air, turd ring dialating
Matted butt hair, anal vapor rising
Give it a squeeze, my feast is emerging
Give it to me, let's begin the purging

I open my mouth and catch it as it drops
I chew and chew and love it brown and soft
I squish the crap between my teeth with my tongue
With a shit eating grin I'll lick 'til clean your bung

I'm a shit eater

Steaming chunky hunk of log
Taste it smell it eat it all
Maybe one turd maybe two
Whatever I can get from you

 

[ZosKiaCvltvs]

Amon Amarth's greatest song - The Last With Pagan Blood

We storm ahead with swords and shields
For victory we ride
We fight the world on these battlefields
To re-erect the pagan pride

We draw the blood of those in our way
It's 'victory or die
With pounding, raging fury we slay
The Christian hounds will pay

Charge ahead, no retreat
No mercy, none shall live
To us there is no defeat
No remorse to give

A wind of power blows from the north
The enemy shivers to the core
We slay with strength, pushing forth
Silence before the storm

The gates of Valhalla open up
The ground beneath us shakes
As Odin leads the Gods to war
The Rainbow Bridge cracks

Nothing can stop this final attack
We carve up all in our path
Now there is no turning back
Final battle is here at last

A feast awaits us when we return
Awaiting all that fought in wrath
By the long fires we sit in glory
And beer will cool our soar throats

We are few but strong in will
The last with pagan blood
We fought the world with burning steel
Now we sit in Hall of Gods

Pride and glory in our hearts
Pride and glory in our hearts

I highly doubt they will ever write a song that can even equal the last couple of minutes of that song.
