Lyrics are a huge part of the music. Some of my favorites from Hypocrisy are:
I love this part...
"Gave up this body
For another realm
My body gets warm as I fill you with my cum
Squeeze the cold, pale body
as I fuck it
Murdered, buried, forgotten
Another life destroyed"
"Tie her down to the bed
Pillow on her face
Take out the knife and start to
carve"
"The time stopped
But nothing's forever
What comes after death?
It never ends
You release your blood and fade away"
"In the end, we will conquer.
What was once, our world.
We will take it back,
through the window of time."
"Shredding apart with the knife
Waiting for death
Cutting my veins wide open
Free from the lie
I am ripping it from my head
Living my life like the end is here
I can't take it
Tonight we are gonna pay
Suicide never felt so good
Dripping blood from my head
I'll never fail to die
Look and you'll know why
I'll recover and strike
I can't see the light
Lord, hallucinations appear
My omen, God, the angels of vindication"
All of the lyrics for Eraser are bad ass but as everyone said... the chorus.
"There is no time
No time to regret
The eraser's coming for your life
You got to run
Stay away from the light
The eraser's here to twist your mind"
And I fucking love this song...
"I'm floating in the air
Slowly fading away from the earth
I'm guessing to the never when on my way to my empty birth"
Always thought the way this was sung was fucking bad ass...
"You turn me on, you turn me off
Like I'm a fucking machine!
You tuck me in, you throw me out
Now all my thoughts are obscene!"
Off of Virus, as someone said, I like Warpath because of the Black Metal feel
"A new era has begun, the world is falling
And darkness triumphs, the emperor has made his call
And now the time has come for us to dread his warning
The terror will reign, death upon us all"
Fucking love it...
"I'm gonna walk away.
You wont be holding me back.
I'm not afraid of you
So just get out of my way.
I'll destroy your life
'cause you were pulling me down.
You reached the end of the road
So just get out of my way."
"So, I'm on a mission to heal the world for good." - Best said phrase from Peter
"I cannot hide my feelings, my feelings tell me more
A sickness I've been given, a sickness that's so pure
Come here and let me taste you,
Your blood that tastes so sweet
Reach out and seek forgiveness
You're my chainsaw-butchered whore"
Last from Hypo - "I crucify you for your disbelief."
I could go on with other bands as well. Lyrics give a feel of how the writers portrayed a feeling/thought/idea while hearing the music alone.
My band's lyrics deal with science and oblivion, we put huge detail into lyrics.
If you have time check them out, most people think they are cool, plus you can listen to a few songs from our cds.
