lyrics that are worth remembering

[ErikSchierboom]

Almost everything Pain Of Salvation wrote. Here is a part of the song Reconciliation:

I hate these hands soaked in blood
I hate what these eyes have seen
Up to my knees in filth and mud
How it hurts to become clean

I was always on my mind
But never on my side

 

[Taliwakker]

Shut your mouth and take a seat
cause after all we're just talking meat
and music...well its just entertainment folks

Devin Townsend

 

[DemonicSoul]

Hey there

Do you know Kamelot? They have quite cool lyrics too. There's one song I liked the most because of the lyrics, which is called "Don't you cry" . It's written in honor for the father, who died, of the guitar player Thomas Youndblood. When I heard the song for the first time it gave me a weird feeling in my stomach, because it's so emotional and touched me really deep..

Of course I know camelot, they're one of my favourite bands, i worked for days to write the guitar tabs for "Don't you cry" because I couldn't find them on the internet. Wondeful band and Karma is surely the best album they ever did

another lyrics in addition:

"Sometimes the hands that feed must feed a mind with a sick need, and the hands that clutch can be the same hands that touch too much"
- Pain of Salvation - "In the Flesh"

"If I died tomorrow, I'd be alright because I believe that after we're gone the spirit carries on"
- Dream Theater - "The Spirit carries on"

"Tomorrow will take us away, far from home, noone will ever know our names, but the bard's songs will remain"
- Blind Guardian - "The Bard's Song"

Yeah, Karma is one hell of an album. The music and lyrics are great and Kahn sings really beautiful.
By the way, you can see my drawings on their website in the download section!

I'm listening to Opeth's Harvest right now. That song has beautiful lyrics as well:

Into the orchard I walk peering way past the gate
Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait
Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead
Halo of death, all I see is departure
Mourner's lament but it's me who's the martyr

The same goes for Face of Melinda:

I took her by the hand to say
All faith forever has been washed away
I returned for you in great dismay
Come with me, far away to stay

Endlessly gazing in nocturnal prime
She spoke of her vices and broke the rhyme
But baffled herself with the final line
My promise is made but my heart is thine

 

[SilentRealm]

The same goes for Face of Melinda:

I took her by the hand to say
All faith forever has been washed away
I returned for you in great dismay
Come with me, far away to stay

Endlessly gazing in nocturnal prime
She spoke of her vices and broke the rhyme
But baffled herself with the final line
My promise is made but my heart is thine

god i know, that song KILLS me!!

 

[Ayreon Guardian X]

How about:
"A country that's divided,
Surely will not stand!" - Megadeth "Holy Wars"

or:
"If you kill a man, you're a murderer,
Kill many, and you're a conqueror,
Kill 'em all, and you're a God!" - Megadeth "Captive Honour"

or:
"Don't remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it'd cost
My life passed before my eyes
I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans denied

So as you read this know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile when you think of me
My body's gone that's all" - Megadeth "A Tout le Monde"

 

[Ayreon Guardian X]

And one for anyone who has lost someone:

Only yesterday they told me you were gone
All these normal people, will I find another one?
Monkey on my back, Aching my bones
I forgot you said "One day you'll walk alone"
I said I need you, does that make me wrong?
Am I a weak man, are you feeling strong?
My heart was blackened, It's bloody red
A hole in my heart, a hole in my head?

Who will help me up?
Where's the helping hand?
Will you turn on me?
Is this my final stand?

In a dream I cannot see
Tangled abstract fallacy
Random turmoil builds in me
I'm addicted to chaos

Lights shined on my path,
Turn bad days into good
Turn breakdowns into blocks, I smashed 'em
Cause I could
My brain was Labored, My head would spin
Don't let me down, don't give up, don't give in
The rain comes down, cold wind blows
The plans we made are back up on the road
Turn up my collar, welcome the unknown
Remember that you said
"One day you'll walk alone"
- Megadeth "Addicted to Chaos"

That is a cool song

 

[RequiemX]

That´s not the chorus, but definitely one of the finest lines from the song. The chorus is the LONG "Misty tales and poems lost" part.

You're right. But I think it's so freaking awesome that it could have been.

I still get shivers.

 

[TotenMitMacht]

WE COME TO KILL AND KILL AGAIN!
-Manowar "Kill With Power"

 

[the velorium camper]

Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.
