All of the lyrics from Dreamweaver. Martin is a lyrical madman, it's baffling to try and think how he wrote all these genious lines. There's far too many good examples to post anything, so I'll just leave it with my sig.:D
 
Bryant and Kitty rocked with those lyrics.

I'm in jail in a Texas town
In my sister's wedding gown
I drive a truck all night long
Listening to Judy Garland songs

Now I'm locked behind bars of steel
I was just looking for a happy meal
I park my rig and I went inside
They've never seen such a pretty bride

Jesse Jane, are you insane?
Or are you just a normal guy
Who dresses like a butterfly
Jesse Jane

I paid my bill and I turned around
Facing every red neck in that one horse town
His face was red. His fist was clenched
He threw his coke and he got me drenched

Jesse Jane, are you insane?
Or are you just an average Joe
Looking for a fashion show
Jesse Jane

Well, I guess that was the final straw
I pulled a pistol from my Wonderbra
I killed him dead. I killed 'em all
And they finally caugh me in the bathroom stall

And now I'm doing ten to life
But I'll tell you one thing, Bubba
Someday I'm gonna make someone in here
A hell of a wife

Jesse Jane, are you insane?
Or are you just a average guy
Who dresses like a butterfly
Jesse Jane

Jesse Jane, are you insane?
Or are you just a Peter Pan
Looking for his Neverland
Jesse Jane
Alice Cooper new album
 
Sorcerers of madness
Selling me their time
Child of God sitting in the sun
Giving peace of mind
Fictional seduction
On a black snow sky
Sadness kills the superman
Even fathers cry

Of all the things I value most of all
I look inside myself and see
My world and know that it is good
You know that I should

Superstitious century
Didn’t time go slow
Separating sanity
Watching children grow
Synchronated undertaker
Spiral skies
Silver ships on plasmic oceans
In disquise

Of all the things I value most in life
I see my memories and feel their warmth
And know that they are good
You know that I should

Watching eyes of celluloid
Tell you how to live
Metaphoric motor-replay
Give, give, give!
Laughter kissing love
Is showing me the way
Spiral city architect
I build, you pay

Of all the things I value most of all
I look upon my earth and feel the warmth
And know that it is good

Every time the song reaches here I got shivers down my spine. IMO it's the best tune of "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath".
 
Suicidal Tendencies:

(Join The Army)
Well I don’t care ‘bout the clothes you wear
It’s the size of your heart, not the length of your hair
Don’t make no difference to me, the color that you be
Black, white or brown, it’s all the same to me

(Give It Revolution)
We’ll bow down to no other one
except The Father and His Son
They can’t deny what he’s created

Well you can put a bullet in my head
But you can’t kill a word I’ve said

(You Can't Bring me Down)
Just cause you don’t understand what’s going on don’t mean it don’t make no sense
And just cause you don’t like it, don’t mean it ain’t no good
And let me tell you something;

Before you go taking a walk in my world
You better take a look at the real world
Cause this ain’t no Mister Roger’s Neighborhood

Can you say “feel like shit”?
Yea maybe sometimes I do feel like shit
I ain’t happy ‘bout it, but I’d rather feel like shit than be full of shit!

And if I offended you, oh I’m sorry...
But maybe you need to be offended
But here’s my apology and one more thing...fuck you!

Cos you...can’t...bring...me...down!

(How Will Laugh Tommorow)

Always an emotion, but how can I explain; how can I explain?
Kind of like the scent of a rose, with words I can’t explain, the same with my pain
Caught up in emotion, goes over my head; goes over my head!
Sometimes I got to think to myself is this life or death, am I living or am I dead

Overkill - Gasoline Dream


Wishful thinking, eyes are blinking,
In the sun the garbage stinking.
To ignore the rancid, won't make it go away.
Untruth spoke through blistered lip,
Unclean thoughts that take the step,
Down upon the roaches,
Won't go away.

Born! to follow!
To be the first to swallow,
Garbage from the plate.
Now! to borrow!
A match, ignite the gasoline,
To burn away.

Surviving through a gasoline dream,
In the month the razon blade gleam,
Slashing up the tongue, won't make it go away.
On a binge of self destruction,
Children of the reconstruction,
Suck the tit of discontent,
Go away.

Slam! slam down!
Respond in kind malcontent,
Don't go away.
Burn! burn down!
Temple of the conscience,
Don't go away.

I was soaked in gasoline,
Playin' with a match.
I was everything I seemed,
They stood and watched.
Ate from your table!
Ate from your hand!
Eight days of waiting!
Buried in the sand!

Burn in a gasoline dream, burn away my love.
Burn away the conscience, burn away, my love.
Take away my dignity, take away my pain,
Take just for taking, we are one in the same...

Burn... Burn...
Burn in a gasoline dream, burn away my love.
Burn away the conscience, burn away, my love.
 
Anthrax: I Am The Law

Fifteen years in the academy
He was like no cadet they'd ever seen
A ma so hard, his veins bleed ice
And when he speaks he never says it twice
They call him Judge, his last name is Dredd
So break the law, and you may wind up dead
Truth and justice are what he's fighting for
Judge Dredd the man, he is the law
DROKK IT

With his gun and bike he rules the streets
And every perp he meets will taste defeat
Not even Death can overcome his might
Cause Dredd and Anderson, they won the fight
When the Sov's started the Apocalypse wr
And Mega-City was bombed to the floor
Dredd resisted, and the judges fought back
And crushed the Sov's with their counter-attack
DROKK IT

Respect the badge-he earned it with his blood
Fear the gun-your sentence may be death because
I AM THE LAW
And you won't f**k around no more
I AM THE LAW
I judge the rich, I judge the poor
I AM THE LAW
Commit I'll lock the door
I AM THE LAW
Because in Mega-City
I AM THE LAW

In the cursed earth where mutants dwell
There is no law, It's just a living hell
Anarchy and chaos as the blood runs red
But this would change if it was up to Dredd
The book of law is the bible to him
And any crime committed is a sin
He keeps peace with his law-giver
Judge, jury, and executioner
DROKK IT

Respect the badge-he earned it with his blood
Fear the gun-your sentence may be death because
I AM THE LAW
And you won't f**k around no more
I AM THE LAW
I judge the rich, I judge the poor
I AM THE LAW
Commit I'll lock the door
I AM THE LAW
Because in Mega-City
I AM THE LAW

CRIME-the ultimate sin
Your Iso-Cube is waiting when he brings you in
LAW-it's what he stands for
Crime's his only enemy and he's going to war

CRIME-the ultimate sin
Your Iso-Cube is waiting when he brings you in
LAW-it's what he stands for
Crime's his only enemy and he's going to war

Respect the badge-he earned it with his blood
Fear the gun-your sentence may be death because
I AM THE LAW
And you won't f**k around no more
I AM THE LAW
I judge the rich, I judge the poor
I AM THE LAW
Commit I'll lock the dor
I AM THE LAW
Because in Mega-City
I AM THE LAW
 
Megadeth - My Last Words

My life's on time,
But again my sense is late.
Feel a might unsteady,
But still I have to play.
Six to one's the odds,
And, we have the highest stakes.
And, once again I gamble with my very life today.

Highly polished metal,
The oil makes it gleam.
Fill the terror chamber,
Your mind begins to scream.
Your life is like a trigger,
Never trouble till you're squeezed.
Now you crack a smile,
As you give the gun a tease.

Place the piston down,
Now give the gun a spin.
Soon as the spinning stops,
Oh no, the game starts in.
A hateful way of vengeance,
A bit of playful sin.
Load another bullet,
Now the second round begins.

A couple grains of powder,
A couple grams of lead.
A touch against the trigger,
A touch inside the head.
Take another drink, and
Raise the last bets.
Think about my last words,
They might be what I just said.

A click comes from the hammer,
That couldn't drive a nail.
Sense the numbing cold blue,
Or the red of Hades' grill.
A fraction of a second,
Do you lose, or maybe still,
Pass it to the left,
And collect your mighty kill.

Add another bullet,
The third round begins.
Soon as the spinning stops,
Oh no, the game starts in.
Please, no I.O.U.'s,
No markers for death.
Does anybody play? Anybody,
Somebody, anybody play.

You, you, next victim, you next to die.
You, you, next victim, you next to die.
You, come on, next victim, your turn to die.
You, come on, next victim, your turn to die.
 
My favourite lyrics ever are Guardian by Fates Warning but somebody posted that already.

The Apparition - Fates Warning

When the stars are right and you're alone
Take a journey, lock the world tight
Out of your mind.
The hall beckons your presence, the doors
Open wide you're to decide to turn back.
Deep the bowels of this black abyss.
Compelled I just can't resist it, take me

Take me away take me away
I wanna know what's deep within
Take me away

Drawing near someone passes through me,
A silent entity never looking back I won't dare
Evil eyes staring through he walls of stone
As I feared I travel not alone.
Laughter's echoes with the blatant wind
I have passed the threshold deep within me

A voice of thunder said turn back
Tabernacle is forbidden
No mortal dares to enter here
I want to know

Flame is burning center of a fountain yearning, waters
Spring eternal, spiritual water physical fire
Above center is sky, cold neverness
Just vastness filled with stars upon stars
In the four corners of life are the golden mirrors
Reflecting what you are and what you are to be

In the first is a young boy white dove in
His hand, in the second is a warrior in armor
In the third is the old man gold watch
In his hand fourth and last
No reflection at all
No reflection at all
No reflection at all

Waters rise toward physical fire, voice says
Tabernacle is forbidden never looking back I don't dare
If the water touches the flame
Forever in darkness yes I'll remain.
White dove flies from the young boys hand
Through the mirror of the old man, only way out

Especially the "No reflection at all" part. John Arch's lyrics are untouchable.
 
Pink Floyd- Wish You Were Here Lyrics

a unusual song but meaningful.


So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
 
Iron Maiden: Age Of Innocence
I can't be compromising in my thoughts no more
I can't prevent the times my anger fills my heart
I can't be sympathizing with a new lost cause
I feel I've lost my patience with the world and all

And all the politicians and their hollow promises
And all the lies, deceit and shame that goes with it
The working man pays everything for their mistakes
And with his life too if there was to be a war

[Chorus:]
So we can only get one chance, can we take it?
And we only got one life, can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have, don't replace it
The age of innocence is fading like an old dream

A life of petty crime gets punished with a holiday
The victims' mind are scarred for life most everyday
Assailants know just how much further they can go
They know the laws are soft, conviction chances low

[Repeat chorus]

You can't protect yourselves even in your own home
For fear of vigilante cries, the victims wipe their eyes
So now the criminal they launch right in our face
Judical system lets them do it, a disgrace

Despondent public worries, where it will all end?
We can't protect ourselves, our kids from the crime trend
We cannot even warn each other of evil in our midst
They have more rights than us, you cannot call that just

Nunca Nos Rendimos: Brainstorm
Inside a dream where no one can see
shifting the shadwos from my own memories
same quilt behind an imitation
just take your troubles as they come
but can't escape why did we get it wrong
a twist of fate, same black situation

it causes me pain, same blodd in our veins
but they won't hide as parts of me have died

why do we ignore the words
the price to not be heard
a circle, more or less
nunca nos rendimos, aqui estamos otra vez!!

close to the flames, just seems like hell
faicing the truth not the answers they sell
don't let us fall back, you can't bring me down

apathy kills anger its disturbing the peace
try not to be quiet, destroy the disease
it's all in you plight, it's all you should know

get out of the way, the clouds in your mind
just make a change and banish the blind

Symphony X: Communion And The Oracle
All we know, now has come undone
Balance lost between the Moon and Sun
Hear out prayers - Keepers of the Skies
Divine
Upon us all - let your wisdom shine

Losing faith as the madness prevails
in us all we are searching for a reason,
a need to calm the storm
In our sails - let your winds be strong

Breathe the air around you
The oceans fill your veins and winds
embrace your heart
Feel the change within you
The Sun and Moon align - The Grand
Design awaits a new start

From the skies, looking down on you
Through the clouds tainted crystal blue
"Such advancement, yet lacking the
control,
so unaware of your earthly roles"

Praise this child and the words of her
rhyme
A sacred gift - Magic of the Five will
bring you tranquillity
A new order of equality

Five senses come alive - Five reasons
thrive - Five nations unite - Unite as
one
Night and Day will find a way to keep
the Balance true
Let the Sky and Stars be your guide -
the destination is up to you

Raise our heads up to the Skies
Feel the essence of Time
Changing ways like the shifting tides
In the waves hear the Rhyme

here are 3 that came to mind...must go to school and take last mid term for the week now, perhaps ill post more later!
 
Black Sabbath: Trashed

It really was a meeting
The bottle took a beating
The ladies of the manor
Watched me climb into my car and
I was going down the track about a hundred and five
They had the stop-watch rolling
I had the headlights blazing I was really alive
And yet my mind was blowing
I drank a bottle of tequila and I feel real good
I had the tape deck roaring
But on the twenty-fifth lap at the canal turn
I went of exploring
I knew I wouldn’t make it the car just wouldn’t make it
I was turning tires burning
The ground was in my sky
I was laughing the bitch was trashed
And death was in my eye

I had started pretty good and I was feeling my way
I had the wheels in motion
There was Peter and the Green fly laughing like drains
Inebriation
The crowd was roaring I was at Brands Hatch
In my imagination
But at the canal turn I hit an only patch
Inebriation

Ooh Mr. Miracle you saved me from some pain
I thank you Mr. Miracle I won’t get trashed again
Ooh can you hear my lies
Don’t you bother with this fool just laugh into my eyes

So we went back to the bar and hit the bottle again
But there was no tequila
Then we started on the whisky just to steady our brains
‘Cos there was no tequila
And as we drank a little faster at the top of our hill
We began to roll
And as we get trashed we were laughing still
Well bless my soul

Metal Church: The Dark

It’s way past midnight
There’s a howling wind
Oh God what can it be?
Something out there evil
And it’s coming straight for me
The house is dark and very cold
I know there’s no one here
Why am I scared to death
Just petrified with fear

‘Cause I’m shakin’ and I’m thinkin’
Of something evil lurking
And waiting for me in the house
‘Cause I’m shakin’ and I’m thinkin’
Of something evil lurking
And waiting for me in the dark
The dark

When I opened up the door
And snapped on the switch
The room was filled with light
Then something black and very fast
Fled upon my sight
What I feared most as a child
Was the coming of the night
Now my horrors have become quite real
My nightmares breathe new life

‘Cause I’m shakin’ and I’m thinkin’
Of something evil lurking
And waiting for me in the house
Yes, I’m shakin’ and I’m thinkin’
Of something evil lurking
And waiting for me in the dark
Dark!

What is it in the house
That the darkness brings to life?
I sense their eyes upon me
As I grab a butcher knife
Whatever it is that waits for me
It hides beneath my bed
If I try to sleep tonight
By morning I’ll be dead!

‘Cause I’m shakin’ and I’m thinkin’
Of something evil lurking
And waiting for me in the house
Yes, I’m shakin’ and I’m thinkin’
Of something evil lurking
And waiting for me in the dark

Tourniquet: Vitals Fading

Young child drowning in a sea of pain
Body infested with debilitating proteus strain
Distant footsteps approach, but they’re not for him
The anticipation of visitors wanes, spirit dim

Through the drone of a hemodialysis machine
God says oh dying frame, there’s only one place to lean

Antes de que la muerte venga a llevarte as­
Quiero que aceptes a mi Hijo, muriã por ti
(Before death arrives to take you away like that
I want you to accept my Son, who died for you)

Wrinkled hands reach out for cold metal rails
Whom the human bond of callous family ignores
Body starts to shake in violent burning rigors
This decrepit life is so very frail
Though the mountains crumble deep into the sea
God is ever present
He sees everything

Flotsam and Jetsam - Fuckers

Self-Righteous fucks
You think you are on top of the world
The little people spit down on you
You'll feel trying to look yourself in the eyes

Bleed you fuckers bleed
Die you fuckers die
I'll cut all your fuckin throats
So brace your fuckin self

Go right ahead you worthless gem, enjoy the laugh
I hope you choke on yourself in the end
You'll never get up on me
I won't subscribe
And I'll recognize

How fucked up you really are
The way you love to be
Self-centered selfish piece of shit
Another morning shows and nothing changes

You're death in everyone's eyes,
You'd be lucky to die
You fucked up everyone's life,
That comes as no surprise
You have to be taken out,
Instead you stay alive

You thrive on breaking their lives
Your feel tries to poke me in the eyes

Entertaining yourself
Makes you closer to hell

You're death in everyone's eyes,
You'd be lucky to die
You fucked up everyone's life,
That comes as no surprise, no surprise
You're death in everyone's eyes
You fucked up everyone's life
You have to be taken out,
Instead you stay alive

Worthless, useless, no good gimp
Another faceless, vileless pile
You're miserable, despicable, dismal, lovable, intolerable
And you don't give a shit
I despise, you despise, you recognize, gouge your eyes
Ah fuck you
Devil eyes, two lies in her eyes, visualize parasites,
A blacker demise

You're still a righteous fuck
Now down at the bottom of the world
Looking at everyone spit down on you
And there's nothing you can fuckin do

You're death in everyone's eyes,
You'd be lucky to die
You fucked up everyone's lives,
That comes as no surprise, no surprise
You're death in everyone's eyes
You fucked up everyone's lives
Make no mistakes about it
This time you're dead
 
Little Boy (Metal Church)

Mama, I'm crying, did the silver angel warn the earth
From a blue sky falling?
Father, I'm frightened, what will happen if it falls again?
Will you be there to shelter me?
The little dot that falls, a little boy, that's all
That's all

Morning comes, I walk to school,
but something's in the air
Things have changed, there's war at hand,
but I'm too young to care
My home is a paradise, a jewel in the east
My family, they have seen the battles,
they're praying for relief
Soon to be over, my father he said, victory is ours son
We will mourn all of our dead

I wonder what happens when a world is at war
In order to win, does someone else keep the score?
I think of my future on this beautiful day
How could I have known that the end's on its way?

The sky is quiet
Just one single plane
To bring destruction
Has mankind gone insane?

What happened to the land?
Metal fused with stone
Nothing remains, nothing lives
Burned through the bone

The sun touched the earth somehow, life melts away
One city barren wasteland, a split-second blaze
The heat turned the men to shadows, the sand into glass
A master stroke of evil in a blinding flash

The sea of dead and dying increases by the day
For years to come we pay the price of science gone astray

In Harm's Way (Metal CHurch)

[J. Marshall / K. Vanderhoof]

In the empty spaces of the mind, that's here I store my past
A ghostly image that I fear has yet to be surpassed
I pray that I won't carry all the pain 'till the end

No direction from your guardian, the one who should protect
I'm innocent of their decisions, I wonder why dad left
Every night I hide in bed and plan to run away...

A lonely child with battered eyes
No joy in innocence they cry
Always has to lie his way through life

I've fallen down while playing ball
But mom beat me up and down the hall
Just because she had one of those nights

Instinct to defend, where does it all end
How does a child get himself out of harm's way?
A lifelong price to pay

It's not that mommy hits that hurts me, it's when she goes away
Get home from school all by myself and won't see her for days
A kid deprived of love in life has no alternative in sight
He throws up barriers to get him through
A human life's a gift from God
Your conscience and your heart are gone
You're much to cruel to have a point of view

No one to turn to, oh, how dare you
How does a child get himself out of harm's way?
A price no one should pay

Can't you see the tears they're crying
Don't you care your kids are dying?
From the senseless torment that you put them through

There's different kinds of lies to tell
Abuse is from the pit of hell
A demon with a goal that is to kill

You better hear the words I say
Deliverence may be far away
You'll look like you have been run through the mill

Instinct to defend, where does it all end
How does a child get himself out of harm's way?
A lifelong price to pay


Bryant
 
Hell yes Bryant. MC lyrics from the Howe era are really clever IMO, and In Harm's Way it's probably my favorite just a bit above 'Fake Healer'.
