Post a part of your favorite anathema lyrics!

Well, my fav part is on my sig.
(If the truth hurts, prepare for pain..... Do you think we are forever?)

But I would also like to add:
We are just a moment in time
a blink of an eye,
a dream for the blind,
visions from a dying brain...
I hope you don't understand.

Duncan, thanx for this masterpiece...

Take care ;p
 
Transfixed....
I gaze through my window at a world lying under a shroud of frost.
In a forlorn stupor I feel the burning of staring eyes,
yet no-one is here.
Detached from reality, in the knowing of dreams,
we know the entity of ensuing agony waits to clasp us in its cold breast,
in an empty room.
We awake and it's true.
I dreamt of the sun's demise,
awoke to a bleak morning.
In the emptiness I beheld fate for the dead light is a foretelling of what will be.....
I saw a soul drift from life, through death, and arrive at Elysian fields in welcoming song.
Yet I stand in a dusk-filled room
despondently watching the passing of a kindred spirit....
and there is no song.... just a delusion of silence.
 
Yes Iam 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?
 
We are just a moment in time
a blink of an eye,
a dream for the blind,
visions from a dying brain...
I hope you don't understand

---------------------------------

The unseen, the eternal river of understanding
Persevering, dying escape
Forever tempting fate
Take me back

A flood of tears bonding my soul with my mind
A dream of love, reality closing in behind
As I close my eyes, the vision dies
As I bid my last farewell to mankind

-------------------------------------

I won't reproach myself this time
A condemned mman, granted a sweet reprieve
A turn of fate, a genial twist of the knife
Undying affection for life

-----------------------------------------

i abhor you i condemn you cos this pain
will never end you got away without a
scratch and now youre walking on a lucky
path i have to laugh but youd better watch
your back

theres pathetic opposition theyre the
cause of my condition ill be coming back
for them ive a solution for this sad
situation nothing left ...

-------------------------------------------

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?

--------------------------------------------


When the silence beckons,
And the day draws to a close,
When the light of your life sighs,
And love dies in your eyes,
Only then will I realise,
What you mean to me

------------------------------------------------

I know there is a way,
My future is not set,
For the tide has turned
But still I never learned to live
without regret

-------------------------------------------------

I tried to murder the lonely,
Contemplate our mortality.

Into infinity,
Frozen memory

Wipe the tears from yesterday,
A time for change, take the pain away.

Angel, my destiny,
Can you feel me?

-------------------------------------------------------

How fast time passed by
The transience of life

Those wasted moments won't return
And we will never feel again

--------------------------------------------------------

The inequity of fate
The pains of love and hate
The heart-sick memories
That brought you to your knees

And the times when we were young
When life seemed so long
Now you are left alone
Where did it all go wrong
Day after day
You burned it all away
(and it's too late)

All the hate that feeds your needs
All the sickness you conceive
All the horror you create
Will bring you to your knees




Is anyone still not persuaded that Anathema writes the best lyrics ever ?? :p
 
.......There's so many, many thoughts
When I try and go to sleep,
But with you I start to feel
A sort of temporary peace.
 
"There's no romance for you tonight"

"You gotta face it head on, so you can't turn this thing
around, Cos this ain't right, You have to go eye to eye
Raise your face to the sky, Cos this ain't
right, I got to believe when I say, Only this is the way"
 
TOO MANY TO MENTION...but i'll add one that first popped up to my mind and no one has mentioned yet:

"Another day unfolds, still I exist
Never felt so cold, I never knew I was turning away
Though I can't explain, I only love you now that your missed
As I stand in the rain, leave me to go through this

I don't think I could face another sleepless night
If only I could trace that elusive light
In a dreamland flight to your agonizing eyes
A never ending flight, my silent cries

Still I close my eyes and my mind becomes clear
Still I dream, and there you are...
How still you lie and how your eyes bring back the fear
Still I can't face what's going on in here...

Everything that I've ever felt has gone,
At last my spirit breathes
I see no point in going on
So goodbye... It's time for me to leave"
 
And day after day
You burned it all away

All the hate that feeds your needs
All the sickness you conceive
All the horror you create
Will bring you to your knees
_____

There's no one in this life
To be here with me at my side
_____

Did I punish you for dreaming?
Did I break your heart and leave you crying?
Do you ever dream of escaping...
Don't you ever dream of escaping?
_____

In my dreams I can see you
I can tell you how I feel
In my dreams I can hold you
And it feels so real
_____
 
Well, it seems that you' ve wrote all my favorite anathema lyrics, except:

''I danced with the shadooowwwwsssssss!!!!!!!!!
in tranquil chaos, i lay naked in the raaaiiiiiinnnn!!!!!!!!!
An interception of light, a DISTURBING MEEMoryyy!!!!
This suicide veil i wear...in shame...''
------------------
''I'm looking over my shoulders, coz millions will whisper:
''I'm killing my self again''
maybe i'm dying fast but nothing ever lasts
i remember a night from my past when i was stubed in the back
and it's all coming back...
and I FEEL THAT PAIN AGAIN!!!
------------------
''Hold on...please, (behind those grey and lonely eyes)
hold on...to me, (unforgotten by time)
tempt fate, release (reality is dawning)
escape...''
-----------------
''Somehow i knew you would leave me this way,
somehow i knew you could never,never stay...
and in the early morning light, after a silent peacefull night,
you took my heart away...
Oh i wish, i wish you could have stayed...
-----------------
''Ornate peace would cover me,
as i would die now...for one LAST WISSHHH!!!!''
 
Judgement

All the hate that feeds our needs
All the sickness you conceive
All the horror you create
It will bring you to your knees

And the times when we were young
When life seemed so long

Day after day
You burned it all away...
