I could rip your guts out, and let you watch me sacrifice your unborn child... I could leave you to starve, and even bring you to total silence... but I won't. For I find no pleasure in your physical pain... I want your Christian soul to crumble."
3. "Straight to the sky it is erected from the endless black memories of time"
4. "Devouring their flesh with a razor blade smile"
5. "You worthless piece of shit, may we all depart from this world, and dissolve into nothingness"

Top 5 moments on Far Away from the Sun:

1. 3:52 - 4:14 in "Far Away from the Sun" (This time my journey was forever, I knew there was no turning back. I had found the castle of myself and I fell asleep far away from the sun.)

2. 2:20 - 3:30 in "Obsolete Tears" (Into the silent desolate dead sphere, echoes of wisdom nothing but tears. Buried in monuments of purest gold, secrets of the universe oh so old. Into the midst of the elder one's lair, spiritual wisdom floats the air, the portal is open, leave the mortal life behind, the unknown is known, incredible thoughts.)

3. 2:41 - 3:03 and repeated again at 4:26 - 4:48 in "Beyond All Horizons" (I am the ruler beyond the horizons, awakening, darkness is our light. Blackened hearts open up for majestic thoughts, beyond all horizons, I dwell and have the right for might.)

4. 2:13 - 3:30 in "Cries from a Restless Soul" (In my lonely mortal wondering, darkened by burdens. Emptiness is ruling the sombre mind of mine. When time cease to be, my soul it can be free. Kept alive be hatred, all alone.)

5. 1:55 - 2:43 in "Fog's Kiss" (I'm in the air and I'm in the water, I'm in the earth and I'm in the fire. I laugh at the helpless mortals as I leave the grounds forever. I entered my space beyond where fragments of my dreams were hidden, the dark left me on the shore to eternity's majestic domains)

[CiG]

I've always really dug "The Gift."

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

I was toying with including either "The Gift" or "Lady Godiva's Operation" in the fourth spot but I've always loved "There She Goes Again" so that actually edged them out fairly easily.

[no country for old wainds]

white light/white heat bores the shit out of me tbh. i don't generally like VU in artfag mode although like hbb i do rather like 'the murder mystery', even if it stands out like a sore thumb on the album. iirc the band considered it a total failure lol
