There's so much to choose from, but I really like "Strange silhouettes whisper your thoughts, scream your sadness" from MAYH (Credence?)

What's yours? :)
 
I am so alone, so cold
My heart is too scarred to glow
I wish the sunrise to come
Take my soul away
From this cold, lonly shell
I am free

That would be my favourite, but most of the lyrics on Orchid r just amazing
 
"Over troubled waters memories soar
Endlessly, searching night and day
The moonlight caresses a lonely hill
With the calmness of a whisper"

- Black Rose Immortal
 
These lines from White Cluster are some of my favorites.

I find trust in hate

Hangman clutching at his tools
I will come for you

Enjoy the moment.........
 
Weary from what might have been ages
Still calm with my mind at peace
Would I prosper or fall, drain the past
The lapse of the moment took its turn

-the moor
 
"There it was. The Final Destiny.
A sunrise that never came, still
the nightlamp that never faded away.
Farewell was the word, and the afterglow
was the brave morning.
Rising and telling everyone about
the beauty of it's Prologue."

:cry: Beautiful... :)
 
"My promise is made, but my heart is thine."

oh jesus, i feel a knot in my stomach every time i hear that. :cry: just thinking about it makes me upset (in a good way?).
 
"Under your command I will obey,
In my vision - You are the embodiment of pure freedom
But through my eyes you are made of stone"


-The Twilight is My Robe
 
"....Once inside i heard whispers in the parlour.The gilded faces grin,aware of my final demise.
And i cried,I new she had lied.Her obsession had died,it had died.....
When can i take you from this place? When is the word but a sigh? When is death our lone beholder? When do we walk the final steps? When can we scream instead of whisper? When is the new beginning and the end of this sad madrigal....."

-When


:cry:
It tears my heart out......... :cry:
 
Too many... chosen for the absolute neccesity I tend to feel to sing/lipsynch along to.

(The Angry)

"Your body is mine to avail... such a tragic sight you are. Slave under my creed, spurring me with those tears..."

"Each and every one would DIE AT MY HAND.... Choking in warm ponds of blood"

(The Sorrowful)

"You are in a forest unknown, a secret orchard... and you voice is vast and achromatic... but still so precious..."

Most of MAYH...

Awesome... although it's never actually sung :)
Makes a woderful poem at least.
 
'Returned from a hibernal dream
Voices fell like marble
No longer by my side
Gone, all that would linger'
reading all your posts :cool:
 
"Eyes attach to your mute portrait
We spoke only through thoughts
Together we gazed, awaited
Hours brought thirst, and the rising sun..."

or

"We walked into the night
Am I to bid you farewell?
Why can't you see that I tried?
When every tear I shed
Is for you"
 
"White face, haggard grin
It's just serenity painted death"


"PLease remedy my confusion, and thrust me back to the day..."

"What came and distorted your site...saw you benighted by your fright"

and rustymetal just said my #1: Eyes attached...
 
Marauder,
Staining the soil midst of stillness
Beloved fraternity to an end
Red eyes probe the scene
All the same
stilted for the beholder
Depravity from the core
Handcarved deth in stonelaiden aisles

from still life
 
hmmm, some people already said some of my favorites:bah:, but I'll also add these....

Credence in my word
Written in dust, tainted by memories
I confess my hope,
recognize my loneliness.
(from Credence)

Do not turn your face towards me
Confronting me with my loneliness
You are in a forest unknown
The secret orchard
And your voice is vast and achromatic
But still so precious
(from Black Rose Immortal)

Break of morning, coldness lingers on
Shroud me into nightmares of the sun
(from Bleak)

Confessor
Of the tragedies in man
Lurking in the core of us all
The last dying call for the everlost
Brief encounters, bleeding pain
(from Blackwater Park)
