whats your favorite lyrics?

I can't belive no mentions of Cephalic Carnage. Their lyrics are creative and usually hilarious.


Cephalic Carnage - "Lucid Interval"

You are paranoid, with delusions of grandeur
Somehow things ain't right, there's an imbalance in your mind
Chain reflex is slow, anxiety neuroses set in.

Breaking out in sweat, was it something that I said?
Is your asthma flaring up? Why are you so pale?
Hands are livid from punching holes in the wall.
(Thinking someone is in your brain.)

You never take your medicine, that's you're always sick!
Looking so afraid, should I call your mom,
I'm talking to myself, answer me, stop shaking.

Waiting from the ambulance, to get your some help
The deranged look you have, you will cut yourself
Don't grab that knife!

Why are you amputating me?
I am your second personality!
Suicide is not the alternative!

If your trephinate I will not die, we can live together,
Conjoined at the cephalic. I command you to obey.

Don't try to kill me, I have my own life,
To separate, will be our demise!
Smoke some weed and relax!
You're going thru a great deal of stress.

Fetid breath reeks, go brush your teeth,
You should get clean, your hair is full of grease!

This is a song about a man, with an unnatural appendage at the skull.
When they have no weed they go insane, now they are stoned and get along.
A lucid interval will straighten this place out
Fighting you tore down the walls.
 
Here's another of my favorites,

Amorphis - Misery Path

We sail across the sea,
In our thoughts we float over mountains
All this vanity that we could hide
The truth

The truth is to be alive
and to live your life in fear by hate
and create our own gods

We all ourselves are created
our own images
Ourselves we are created
our own gods

In the misty morning
When the sun is rising,
When the whole sky is red like blood
Man can realize the real meaning of life
to love and respect your life

Your salvation,
or is just your damnation.

We all ourselves...
 
Anal Cunt - Limp Bizkit Think They're Black, But They're Just Gay

Fred Durst is a fucking faggot
He thinks he's black, but he's just gay
He cancelled a show cuz he sprained his ankle
He's also a fucking midget

Chorus:
You're not fucking black, you're just fucking gay (x2)
You're fucking gay

The guitarist wears a mask
To hide the cum stains on his face
They're the gayest band I've ever seen
And I've seen the Culture Club live

Chorus

Fred wears a hat to hide his baldness
I refuse to believe blacks think he's cool
I wish he'd beaten and raped by some black guy
And see if he still wants to be black


Anal Cunt - BEING IGNORANT IS AWESOME

I LIKE TO LAUGH AT RETARDS
I LIKE TO LAUGH AT CRIPPLES
I LIKE TO MAKE FUN OF GAYS
I LIKE TO BEAT WOMAN

I LIKE ASSUMING BLACK PEOPLE STOLE SOMETHING
I LIKE ASSUMING JEWS JERK OFF TO PHOTOS OF BANKS
I LIKE ASSUMING CHINESE PEOPLE CANT DRIVE
I LIKE ASSUMING WOMAN ARE DUMB CUNTS

I LIKE BEING IGNORANT
I LIKE BEING IGNORANT
I LIKE BEING IGNORANT
I LIKE BEING IGNORANT

I DON'T WANT TO READ THE PAPER
I DON'T WANT TO SEE THE NEWS
I DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON
I JUST WANT TO KEEP HATING YOU
 
Zyklon - Hammer Revelation

"A depiction of the lamb, the lion, deplorably portrayed.
The beast, the dragon, as in shadowy imagery,
have the power to take away peace on earth.
The threshold's here as the sun turns black,
the moon red like blood and stars falling down.
Babylon falling, the last of the antagonistic battles,
the madman chained for a thousand of years.
Use your eyes and you will see it, bright and shining.
A moment of your time, a glimpse of your (brave) new world

Your revelation, in apocalyptic terms,
the hammer, separating fiction from reality.
Embrace the notion, embrace the moment.
Who are the ones to tell the truth,
who are the ones to tell what to believe?
The depiction is therefore all you`ve got.

The hammer is mine, the revelation is yours.
Am I God or am I the Devil?
It`s a comprehensible, yet complex, reality,
because it means that when the past has caught up with the present,
we have no future."

Dio - Don't Talk to Strangers
Vanden Plas - Beyond Daylight


9. Beyond Daylight

Sooner or later
You follow me into my world
There yonder the skies - somewhere

Sittinghere inside my cell
This is not a fairytale
What do you think I am
On which side do I depend
Scary monster - hollow man
Here is just an easy way in
There is just an easy way out

FOLLOW ME INTO MY WORLD
FOLLOW ME OVER AND UNDER THE SKIES
FOLLOW THE PILOT OF SOULS
SOONER OF LATER WE ARE BEYOND DAYLIGHT

I hear them coming down again
Another rope will tie my hand
They think I'm a liar, a cheating messiah
But hear my story 'til the end
Here is just an easy way in
There is just an easy way out

FOLLOW ME INTO MY WORLD
FOLLOW ME OVER AND UNDER THE SKIES
FOLLOW THE PILOT OF SOULS
SOONER OF LATER WE ARE BEYOND DAYLIGHT

If The Only Possibility Is To Be Excluded
Then The Impossible Must Be True
My name is killroy murdoch
Nobody believes my name
I was born as an endless circle
I'm born as and endless game

Ghost kings came over desert stone
To see where the salt lake lies
All the animals are minerals
Here in scarlet: petrified
God's second cast
Forgotten in the salt lake shore
But I will still remind you
In the oldest dreams to win the final war
I can see the day arrive
I can hear the morning birth
Even when you take my view
Steal my tongue
The serins will never fly aqay
And they are singing just for me
Cause I invented them for my story
And I never have to worry
On my private way to Golghata

Is where the story ends
Or where it just began
You're all a piece of paper
On the psycho pathway to the cross
You're my neighbour
In the story I invented?!

I cut a scar through my face with a knife
More than a withness when Kennedy died
Fused the absinth for charles baudelaire
I was fire, warer and air
Was a king long before Christ was born
Walk the night and I've never seen dawn
I can see where your wishes began
Now you wish you don't know who I am

FOLLOW ME INTO MY WORLD
FOLLOW ME OVER AND UNDER THE SKIES
FOLLOW THE PILOT OF SOULS
SOONER OF LATER WE ARE BEYOND DAYLIGHT

Follow me into my world
Follow me into my world

i cant say ive ever heard Zyklon. the name sounds like it would be some alien clan off of star trek tho. or possibly some nerd's favorite computer game.

no offense....what kind of metal is Zyklon?


lol alien clan. close tho. Zyklon (or zyklonB) was a very strong industrial cleaning agent use in the late 30's early 40's. Also has been used for other purposes. The nazi's used it to gas the jews in polland during the second world war....not very nice but did gain the company alot of notoriety. In fact the company that produced zyklon were never prosecuted for war crimes but went bankrupt in december of last year.

guess the demand had gone down over the years...oops did I say that :OMG:



oh yeah the topic....

deicide - the gift that keeps on giving
- bible basher
- dead by dawn

slayer - 213
- born of fire
- richard hung himself
 
Kari Bremnes - anything (but especially "Finn veien, engel" and the lyrics of her album "Svarta Bjørn")
Tom Russell - "The Man From God Knows Where" (entire album, but especially "Mary Clare Malloy" and "The Outcaste" - an excellent history lesson!)
Lynni Treekrem - "Haugtussa" (entire album; lyrics by Arne Garborg)
Tactile Gemma - "Creepy-crawlies"
Ketil Bjørnstad - "Take A Flat Map..." (lyrics by John Donne)

Psychotic Waltz - Nothing

NOT SO LONG AGO THERE WAS A TIME
THE NAIVE ANIMAL WAS A WISER THING
AND THESE DEVILS THAT WE ACCEPT AS REALITY
DID NOT EXIST HERE BEFORE
NOR DO I THINK THEY WERE MEANT TO BE

THEY HAVE ENSHROUDED THEMSELVES
WITH THE COMFORTS OF WEALTH
INSIDE THIS TEMPLE OF MATERIAL THINGS
WHICH THEY CLING TO
ALL BECAUSE THE HAND
WAS MUCH EASIER TO SEE THAN THE SPIRIT
AND UPON THE DISCOVERY OF THIS
THEY HAVE MADE THEIR DECISION
NOT ONLY FOR THEMSELVES
BUT FOR EVERYONE ELSE AS WELL

EVERYTHING YOU´VE EVER COME TO EXPERIENCE
TO ANYONE ELSE HERE HAS NEVER BEEN
AND WILL NEVER BE

LIFE DOES NOT EXIST
MEMORY IS NOTHING MORE THAN PHOTOGRAPHS
A LOOKING GLASS TO SEE JUST WHERE YOU´VE BEEN
NOT WHAT YOU´VE BEEN THERE FOR
REALIZE YOUR INSIGNIFICANCE TO THE UNIVERSE
AND TO INFINITY

YOU WILL HAVE THEN CAST AWAY
THE PRIDE OF ALL THESE THINGS YOU HELD SO DEAR
AGONY AND PLEASURE ARE A SUFFERING
TO ONE ANOTHER HERE
THE WISEST IS THE FOOL WHO REALIZES HE KNOWS
NOTHING, NOTHING

TURN YOUR BACK ON THIS MISCONCEPTION
THAT THE BODY IS THE TEMPLE
IT´S JUST THE TOOL OF YOUR SOUL
THE BRAIN IS ONLY THE HOUSE OF THE MIND
AND SOON YOU´LL HAVE TO GIVE BACK
EVERYTHING YOU´VE BORROWED FOR THIS LIFETIME
ONLY THEN YOU´LL FIND
YOU HAVE SPENT ALL THIS TIME
STRUGGLING FOR THE WRONG THINGS
AND ALL OF YOUR WORKS HERE HAVE BEEN NOTHING

EVERYTHING IS NOTHING



Détente - Holy War

Suicidal bomber dying for a cause, and the life you´re losing
is well worth the price.
You´re on a mission for your god,
and the innocents you take with you are examples for us all.
Holy war, holy war, you keep killing, you don´t know what it´s for.
I watch you soldier as you stab her and laugh. Her mother draws her near,
she takes her last breath.
Then you unfold your leader´s picture, show him what you´ve done.
Then you kiss his photo, praise his holy one.
Holy war, holy war, you keep killing, you don´t know what it´s for.

(The lyrics of "Holy War" were written in the middle of the eighties with regard to the Iraq/Iran-war, but most parts of them still don´t seem very dated.)

Since we can name lyrics from any genre, I'm going to say Meat Loaf's "Paradice by the Dashboard Light" is one of my favorites. Here are the lyrics:

I. Paradise

Boy:
I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light

Girl:
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed

Ain't no doubt about it
Baby got to go and shout it
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed

Boy:
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed

Baby doncha hear my heart
You got it drowning out the radio
I've been waiting so long
For you to come along and have some fun

And I gotta let ya know
No you're never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes I got a big surprise
It'll feel all right
Well I wanna make your motor run

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!

Though it's cold and lonley in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Paradise by the dashboard light

You got to do what you can
And let Mother Nature do the rest
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely--

We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go allt he way
An tonight's the night...

Radio Broadcast:
Ok, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker
going here, two down, nobody on, no score,
bottom of the ninth, there's the wind-up and
there it is, a line shot up the middle, look
at him go. This boy can really fly!
He's rounding first and really turning it on
now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna
try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center,
and here comes the throw, and what a throw!
He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out!
No, wait, safe--safe at second base, this kid really
makes things happen out there.
Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch--
he's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying
for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt--
safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base!
He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost
daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher
glance over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted
down the third base line, the suicide squeeze in on!
Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close,
here's the throw, there's the play at the plate,
holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!

II. Let Me Sleep On It

Girl:
Stop right there!
I gotta know right now!
Before we go any further--!

Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
Do you love me!?
Will you love me forever!?
Do you need me!?
Will you never leave me!?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life!?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife!?
I gotta know right now
Before we go any further
Do you love me!!!?
Will you love me forever!!!?

Boy:
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you my answer in the morning

Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you my answer in the morning

Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you my answer in the morning

Girl:
I gotta know right now!
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
I gotta know right now!
Before we go any further
Do you love me?
And will you love me forever?

Boy:
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you my answer in the morning
Let me sleep on it!!!

Girl:
Will you love me forever?

Boy:
Let me sleep on it!!!

Girl:
Will you love me forever!!!

III. Praying for the End of Time

Boy:
I couldn't take it any longer
Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore that I would love you to the end of time!

So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!

Boy:
It was long ago and it was far away
and it was so much better than it is today

Girl:
It never felt so good
It never felt so right
And we were glowing like
A metal on the edge of a knife

Faust is one of the greatest lyricists ever

I fail to see what's so great there. Faust is pulling a Tool.
 
A few off the top of my head.

Dream Theater-"The Ones Who Help To Set the Sun"

Watching my window I was led like a
child
As the roadway lamplights
misguided my mind through the night
a shadow of limits
We were racing the rain
my hands held the wheel
My eyes tried to hold their place

there must have been a time
when I thought that you were
watching
It had to be when my senses lost
control
I thought I'd slipped away
I thought I could still feel us
moving
It must have been a cloud
no bigger than a man's hand

Every reason I risk my life
To come back to you
Is locked behind your door
You're my immunity
Outside I watched you burn
Heavy hearts were bleeding
A cry for help, a familiar voice
My melting hands streaked the glass

As I walked away
I wondered what had really
happened
had I run out of time
did I push myself too far
As my last step fell
I felt my hands upon the wheel
had I come back to life
or did I ever leave at all

In higher lives
We seem to be
always a moment too late
We're past the time
when we looked on
Now we're
The Ones Who Help To
Set The Sun
this time for real
I locked the door behind me
My mind was still a wreck
from what I saw
For when my hands are still
I'll recognize the message
never again will my senses lose
control
In higher lives
We seem to be
Always a moment too late
We're past the time
when we looked on
Now we're
The Ones Who Help To
Set The Sun

Fates Warning-"The Apparition"

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

And Borknagar's "Colossus," which, for whatever reason, cannot be copied from darklyrics.com.
 
Don't you think HannibalGuy and DiscipleOfPlato would make a lovely couple everyone? They can have picnics in the park and read art-fag lyrics to each other all day....

Hilarious. You've truly outdone yourself this time, shithead.
