Actually didn't someone else say this line? A movie or maybe a figure?

that would be Voltaire, a famous philosopher
Ahh, I knew someone said it besides WD. So you can't give him all the credit.

'Who Decides.' Tragic yet real words...
"In this wasted miracle
the outcome so terminal
why do we waste time on hope?"

others:
"No one understands, what we've been given" then that kickass solo comes in on EoR

"there is no stronger drug than reality"


Yeah, Enemies is my favorite Nevermore album.
 
"When I have awakened, the world will never be the same."

Considered tattoos for a while, but Warrel suggested I didn't.
 
this
the
one and
only that made sense to a simpleton like me
================

What do you see on the news when you watch T.V.
War in the name of God, or a playground killing spree
Politicians promise you the world, and a preacher cries
All he ever wanted was your money, and a bitch on the side
What went wrong? Did society twist him?

What do you see in the center of the public eye
Rock stars on smack, and a serial killer fries
Radicals blame suicide and murder on our from of art
Brainwash the youth, you know they claim we all play a part
What a shame that they can't think for themselves
 
But held before my eyes is a vision that now lies, forever searching for the purpose, are we running out of time...?

-My acid words. That line just GOES perfect for some reason with the riff change right before it. This song probably has my favorite lyrics on the whole album
 
"Heroes and Rapists, they all have nice faces"

That line was running through my head when I was walking through a WalMart at 3AM in upstate NY stoned out of my mind, looking at the other sort of people who also happen to be at WalMart at 3AM. That was some creepy shit.

Then we found the place where they have the kick balls, and we had a lot of fun ;)
 
The entire opus that is ...

I Voyager ....

The lyrics fit me as a person perfectly ....

If you view life as a mission
For truth and purity in vision
You can become as the anointed
And fade away from the disjointed

In observation, I analyze
All the aspects of humanity that I despise

I am the voyager
I have tasted pleasures of the flesh
And drunk the pleasures of the mind
To reach the point I've attained
Clear focused and defined

Those who don't create dictate
The structure of our world and preach hate
Drifting out of languid boredom
To destroy the structure of our kingdom

In observation, I analyze
All the aspects of humanity that I despise

I am the voyager
I have tasted pleasures of the flesh
And drunk the pleasures of the mind
To reach the point I've attained
Clear focused and defined

If you live life draped in sorrow
You will destroy the path we follow
Take my hand and walk in wonder
The patterns spin in random order

In observation, I analyze
All the aspects of humanity that I despise

I am the voyager
I have tasted pleasures of the flesh
And drunk the pleasures of the mind
To reach the point I've attained
Clear focused and defined
I am the voyager
I, Voyager
Da Fukn Guru
 
Ahhh too many favourites... here goes:

"Feed me from the heart of your denial, the velvet sleep is conviction only fools know"
"Today I killed my ego, if hell is real dear god please tie my noose"
"And if you choose to live this way, I'll count the days 'til you're gone"
"There is no stronger drug than reality"
"Like a hostage the government holds your drug"
"I feel empty and deranged, denied one last epiphany and ushered from the stage"
"To further complicate I will now state that your convictions lack definition and form"
"They can't reach heaven, the truth's brutal lesson, forgive yourself, for no one else will die for your crimes"
"You are nothing and you speak for all that never was"
"The only world I know is the world I cling to"
"The media machine knows what to do, it knows how to feed the poison to you; useless information for your useless little lives, the tv lies and pacifies"
"The sheep are made to follow, choke back the puke and swallow"
"I sit here waiting for the world to end but it never ends"
"I am conscious antithesis of flesh, in genetic algorithmic thought I surge"
"Packaged and processed the masses are force fed"
"Labeled sick, but I'm just a man, everyone I love has left me for dead; this void illusion I suffer for, they made me their god and I am so much more than you"
"Young hearts are pure like violet drops of rain, until life teaches us to be stoned or ashamed"
"I never knew what changed you, did they paint your dreams in pale shades?"
"Within the dark communion of self awareness there lies a void called ego"
"Look at me, I'm on display, another animal in this zoo our creator betrayed"
"Emotions turned to cold dead wood can still have life once more, the door that slammed upon your heart - torn away, torn away"

There I'm done :p

If we're talking about this God thing lyrics, my favourite is actually Megadeth:

"And when you kill a man, you're a murderer
Kill many, and you're a conqueror
Kill them all ... Ooh ... Oh you're a God!"

Absolutely funny of you to quote that in your signature as something of Warrel's. Incorrectly at that, as Will mentioned.

For me there are so many, and in a way there are none...I could list twenty or so lines/verses that I love the most, but it's hard to pick one because firstly many of them are so tied to the music/melodies that it's hard to tell if I find the lyric as good as I think I do and secondly none of the lyrics really stand out as superior. But today my favourite is "Empty illusions still fall before us, There is no future so profess your pain."
 
Thanks for the correction on my fav on the "create" part to "invent". I was unaware that it wasn't WD quote, thanks for info on that too.

Another of mine is;

"Sitting here sidaways on a stone cold floor
My quitar gently bleeding and wanting more
when I heard a sound come rapping, tapping on my door"

WD's with a mix of EAP
 
sooo many to choose from

"Maybe none of us know what's real"
"I HATE YOU, THE PIGS WHO TURN THE SCREWS! I HATE EVERYTHING YOU STAND FOR!" (wins for the best opening line ever)
"Why should I come down? From here, I can see forever."
"If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him."
"Tell me what this fucking life is for"
"Can we agree to disagree on the concept of God?"
"Welcome to the fall...of one man's sanity."
"There is no stronger drug than reality"
