Favorite lyrics?

[Captain Lawless]

Obviously, intruments are important, but the singer and the material they're singing about are usually what I listen for. What about you guys? Got a favorite set of lyrics, or a singer you just think is amazing?

One of my favorite 3 artists is The Human Abstract, an indipendant prog metal band. So far, out of their 2 albums (Nocturne and Midheaven), I've only liked Nocturne. Their guitarist (AJ Minette) left after the first, they got a new one (not as impressive) and they changed their style up a lot. At least all 12 songs off Nocturne are masterpieces >>

[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u9KDMWJsAM]Vela, Together we Await the Storm[/url] is an incredible fight song. Powerful lyrics, moving meaning.

[i]A story, without a name
A desert journey, that we became
Another test of our power overcoming on a black day
Appalling how they're running for the honor like a campaign
Rise to be the leaders of a phony dead scene, in a magazine
I always figured there was something more

Gone, so many friends and lovers
So far, nothing to show in turn

They'll take it all back
all those empty words
I'll show the dregs where
All their slander has led
If it takes my whole life
For all the tears that I have shed
They'll take it back
I'm making a pact
They'll take it back
I'm making a promise
I'm eager to the task
exposing all who wear a mask

It must
Be
Done

The storm yet to come
Binds us as one

(Atrocity)
Through it all

So pry, you won't be finding a faker
nor will an opportune moment arise

Gone, so many friends and lovers
So far, nothing to show in turn
Gone, so many friends and lovers
So far, nothing to show in turn[/i]

k, let's see what you got.

Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy - Amazing, Verse One

 

It’s amazing, I’m the reason

Everybody fired up this evening

I’m exhausted, barely breathing

Holding on to what I believe in

No matter what, you’ll never take that from me

My reign is as far as your eyes can see

 

 

It's amazing.

OHHHH

The new song from MEGADETH

Headcrusher

[Wuu.]

Seeing as Tupac is a lyrical genious and seeing as i'm a lazy-ass nutter i will be posting the whole song, it's a really mad text.

It's the treu stuff right here.

Come on come on

I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself

is life worth living should I blast myself?

I'm tired of bein' poor & even worse I'm black

my stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch

Cops give a damn about a negro

pull the trigger kill a jabroni he's a hero

Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares

one less hungry mouth on the welfare

First ship 'em dope & let 'em deal the brothers

give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other

It's time to fight back that's what Huey said

2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead

I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere

unless we share with each other

We gotta start makin' changes

learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers

and that's how it's supposed to be

How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?

I'd love to go back to when we played as kids

but things changed, and that's the way it is

 

[bridge w/ changing ad libs]

Come on come on

That's just the way it is

Things'll never be the same

That's just the way it is

aww yeah

[Repeat]

 

[2]

I see no changes all I see is racist faces

misplaced hate makes disgrace to races

We under I wonder what it takes to make this

one better place, let's erase the wasted

Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right

'cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight

and only time we chill is when we kill each other

it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other

And although it seems heaven sent

We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh

It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact

the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks

But some things will never change

try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game

Now tell me what's a mother to do

bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you

You gotta operate the easy way

"I made a G today" But you made it in a sleazy way

sellin' crack to the kid. " I gotta get paid,"

Well hey, well that's the way it is

 

[bridge]

 

[Talking:]

We gotta make a change...

It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.

Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live

and let's change the way we treat each other.

You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do

what we gotta do, to survive.

 

[3]

And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace

It's war on the streets & the war in the Middle East

Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs

so the police can bother me

And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do

But now I'm back with the facts givin' it back to you

Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up,

crack you up and pimp smack you up

You gotta learn to hold ya own

they get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone

But tell the cops they can't touch this

I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this

That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool

my mama didn't raise no fool

And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped

& I never get to lay back

'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs

some punk that I roughed up way back

comin' back after all these years

rat-tat-tat-tat-tat that's the way it is uhh

[Lazer Yoshi]

Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth

You take a mortal man,

And put him in control

Watch him become a god,

Watch peoples heads aroll

Aroll...

 

/chorus/

Just like the pied piper

Led rats through the streets

We dance like marionettes,

Swaying to the symphony...

Of destruction

 

Acting like a robot,

Its metal brain corrodes.

You try to take its pulse,

Before the head explodes.

Explodes...

 

/chorus/

 

The earth starts to rumble

World powers fall

Awarring for the heavens,

A peaceful man stands tall

Tall...

 

/chorus/

System Of A Down

 

Why do they always send the poor?

 

Barbarisms by Barbara with pointed heels

Victorious victories kneel for brand new spanking deals

Marching forward hypocritic and hypnotic computers

You depend on our protection yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth

 

Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time

Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

 

Kneeling roses disappearing into Moses' dry mouth

Breaking into Fort Knox stealing our intentions

Hangars sitting dripped in oil, crying, "Freedom!"

Handed to obsoletion still you feed us lies from the tablecloth

 

Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time

Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time

Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

 

Blast off, it's party time

And we don't live in a fascist nation

Blast off, it's party time

And where the fudge are you?

 

Where the fudge are you?

Where the fudge are you?

 

Why don't presidents fight the war?

Why do they always send the poor?

Why don't presidents fight the war?

Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?

 

Kneeling roses disappearing into Moses' dry mouth

Breaking into Fort Knox stealing our intentions

Hangars sitting dripped in oil, crying, "Freedom!"

Handed to obsoletion still you feed us lies from the tablecloth

 

Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time

Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time

Dancing in the desert blowing up the sun

 

Where the fudge are you?

Where the fudge are you?

 

Why don't presidents fight the war?

Why do they always send the poor?

Why don't presidents fight the war?

Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?

 

Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?

They always send the poor

They always send the poor

In a Funk - Placebo

 

Call me anticipation, call me out of line

But I've got a hotel reservation in

the name of 'Valentine'

In the place where we vacation and

we walked across the beach

I felt your breath against my neck,

as the waves caressed our feet

 

Heaven knows if you promise not to go

I will pay you back in kind

I don't want to be alone

I'm alive, so alive

 

Call me animation, call me assinine

But I'm in a desperate situation

With a mask to hide behind

The affect on our relations

and all that we believe

Feels like a slap across the face

Now there's a hand print on your cheek

 

Heaven knows if you promise not to go

I will pay you back in kind

I don't want to be alone

I'm alive, so alive

If you promise not to go

I will pay you back in kind

I don't want to be alone

I'm alive, so alive

 

Let me pay you back in kind

Let me pay you back

 

Is it my imagination?

Is it the end of the line?

is it a reconcilliation or just

a way of killing time?

God only knows, if you promise not to go

I will pay you back in kind

I don't want to be alone

I'm alive, so alive

If you promise not to go

I will pay you back in kind

I don't want to be alone

I'm alive, so alive

 

Let me pay you back in kind

[Death Metal]

Mithotyn - Under The Banner

 

Under the banner of our gods

We ravage this land of heresy.

In the name of the Aesirs we are chosed

To fight this invading christianity.

 

Under the banner of might

We mock their religion of submission.

They may pray to their selfish god

But we'll never give them remission.

 

Under the banner of the elders

We march towards them in despise.

We are the sons of Midgaard

Bound to defy their glorious lies.

[Und3rd4wg13]

I like the lyrics to Leave out all the rest by linkin park and dirty little secret by all american rejects. I like every part, not just the chorus.

Washington Bullets by The Clash

 

This song still amazes me, it's a truly great song from a truly great album (Sandinista!) that bent the boundaries to what characterized punk music.

Oh, the lyrics, well they're great too! :D

 

It's basically about America's crime against humanity when trying to exterminate communism. There's much more into it than that but it would take too much space to explain it in this little reply.

 

So here's the lyrics! :3

 

Oh! Mama, Mama look there!

Your children are playing in that street again

Don't you know what happened down there?

A youth of fourteen got shot down there

The Kokane guns of Jamdown Town

The killing clowns, the blood money men

Are shooting those Washington bullets again

 

As every cell in Chile will tell

The cries of the tortured men

Remember Allende, and the days before,

Before the army came

Please remember Victor Jara,

In the Santiago Stadium,

Es verdad - those Washington Bullets again

 

And in the Bay of Pigs in 1961,

Havana fought the playboy in the Cuban sun,

For Castro is a colour,

Is a redder than red,

Those Washington bullets want Castro dead

For Castro is the colour...

...That will earn you a spray of lead

 

For the very first time ever,

When they had a revolution in Nicaragua,

There was no interference from America

Human rights in America

 

Well the people fought the leader,

And up he flew...

With no Washington bullets what else could he do?

 

'N' if you can find a Afghan rebel

That the Moscow bullets missed

Ask him what he thinks of voting Communist...

...Ask the Dalai Lama in the hills of Tibet,

How many monks did the Chinese get?

In a war-torn swamp stop any mercenary,

'N' check the British bullets in his armoury

Que?

Sandinista!

[Super Chaos Sonic]

I Need You - RELIENT K

 

I've dug up miles and miles of sand

Searching for something I can't see

And I've just got bruised and battered hands

And a brand new void inside of me

Complete with walls I did create

From all the earth that I've displaced

A mess that I have made from what

I've just let pile and pile up

I have not been abandoned, no I have not been

Deserted and I have not been forgotten

 

I need you

I need you here

I need you now

I need security somehow

I need you

Like you would not believe

You're the only thing I want

Cause you're everything I need

 

Explore the cave that is my chest

A torch reveals there's nothing left

Your whispers echo off the walls

And you can hear my distant calls

The voice of who I used to be

Screaming out "someone, someone please

Please shine a light into the black

Wade through the depths and bring me back

 

I have not been abandoned, no I have not been

Deserted and I have not been forgotten

 

I need you

I need you here

I need you now

I need security somehow

I need you

Like you would not believe

You're the only thing I want

Cause you're everything I need

 

When my hopes seem to dangle

Somewhere just beyond my reach

You say you've heard my prayers

And read my words there on the beach

 

I need you

I need you here

I need you now

I need security somehow

I need you

Like you would not believe

You're the only thing I want

Cause you're everything I need

[Eury]

Naglfar-I am Vengeance= BEST LYRICS EVER here they are

Humanity what have you ever done for me?

Denounced and cursed since my birth for I am not like thee

A proud descendant of the ancient seed

Driven forth by the screams of my enemies

I am the plague that shall grace you with an early grave

Exterminate - bring you all into damnation

In an orgasmic rush of pain I mark my coming in crimson strays

 

Fools! I shall rid myself from the thorns pierced in my side

The weak laments of your wounded shall be my crown

Anointed in their tears... sweet as wine are they

 

A waste of flesh is the only thing you are to me

The time has come to destroy your simple entitles

A filthy pack of liars and thieves

Crawling in the stench of your own self-deceit

I am the predator and you are all mine to claim

Hunt you down unto the point of extinction

A genocidal warmachine

Wreaking chaos upon those who dare to challenge me

 

I am vengeance incarnate, your futile world I shall desecrate

I bear the mark of all demons like an aura that drips of venom

I am the bringer of the final war

Your god lies dead in his own **** and gore

Rest assure that all of you will die

You insolent fools shall breath no more

 

Hatred burns within my veins towards your wretched kind

I spread my creed of suffering in this bloodbath so divine

 

I shall cleanse the earth from the worms of the human breed

Revel in the blood of my sworn enemies

Grind their bones into the dust... bloodlust!

 

Humanity what have you ever done for me?

Denounced and cursed since my birth for I am not like thee

A proud descendant of the ancient seed

Driven forth by the screams of my enemies

I am the plague that shall grace you with an early grave

Exterminate - brought you all into damnation

A genocidal warmachine

Grinding down all of you who dared to challenge me

 

Hatred burns within my veins towards your wretched kind

I spread my creed of suffering in this bloodbath so divine

No mercy is shown for the weak in this blood-drenched fatal spell

Tear the flesh off from their limbs and send their souls to hell

[Slash]

Michael Jackson - Beat It

It's the song I'm into today xD

[spoiler=The Lyrics]

They told him "Don't you ever come around here

Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear"

The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear

So beat it, just beat it

 

You better run, you better do what you can

Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man

You wanna be tough, better do what you can

So beat it, but you wanna be bad

 

Just beat it, beat it,

No one wants to be defeated

Showin' how funky and strong is your fight

It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it

Just beat it, beat it

Just beat it. beat it

Just beat it, beat it

 

They're out to get you, better leave while you can

Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man

You wanna stay alive, better do what you can

So beat it, just beat it

 

You have to show them that you're really not scared

You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare

They'll kick you, then they beat you,

Then they'll tell you it's fair

So beat it, but you wanna be bad

 

Just beat it, beat it,

No one wants to be defeated

Showin' how funky and strong is your fight

It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

 

Just beat it, beat it,

No one wants to be defeated

Showin' how funky and strong is your fight

It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

 

Just beat it, beat it, beat it

Beat it, beat it, beat it

Beat it, beat it, beat it

Beat it, beat it, beat it

Beat it, beat it, beat it

 

Beat it, beat it,

No one wants to be defeated

Showin' how funky and strong is your fight

It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

 

Just beat it, beat it,

No one wants to be defeated

Showin' how funky and strong is your fight

It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

 

Just beat it, beat it,

No one wants to be defeated

Showin' how funky and strong is your fight

It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

 

Just beat it, beat it,

No one wants to be defeated

Showin' how funky and strong is your fight

It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

 

Just beat it, beat it

Danger: Wildman - The Devil Wears Prada

 

I know a ghost

And when doubted his truth reveals incredible vengeance

Vanity is a sepulcher

Do as you please, shame will follow

Languages rot and insects lose interest;

Mountains of plastic: melting away

As long as these struggles are aimless,

We will all be standing still

When worded correctly, truth is never a cliche;

This is because so many are attached to their deaf ears

Collect the leaves

Count them

Name them

Study each and every single one of them

As long as the struggles are aimless

We will all be standing still

When worded correctly, truth is never a cliche;

This is because so many are attached to their deaf ears

All mistakes can be marked by borders

All of love can be traced to a maker

It seems as if what is most important,

Isn't noticed when forgotten

Do as you please, shame will follow

The sun and the moon:

You'll always take them for granted

What's delicate is lost

As the selfish forgot what is sacred,

The humble forgot themselves

When worded correctly, truth is never a cliche;

This is because so many are attached to their deaf ears

[Freeman The Master]

Well to tell you the truth sometime music with out lyrics are good look at Nightwish: "Last of the Wilds" or well every body with an Xbox should now the Halo thyme music. But if its lyrics then i got two that are my favorite.

 

Testify By Rage Agents the Machine

 

The movie ran through me

The glamour subdued me

The tabloid untied me

I'm empty please fill me

Mister anchor assure me

That Baghdad is burning

Your voice it is so soothing

That cunning mantra of killing

I need you my witness

To dress this up so bloodless

To numb me and purge me now

Of thoughts of blaming you

Yes the car is our wheelchair

My witness your coughing

Oily silence mocks the legless boys

Who travel now in coffins

On the corner

The jury's sleepless

We found your weakness

And it's right outside your door

 

Now testify

Now testify

It's right outside your door

Now testify

Yes testify

Its right outside your door

 

With precision you feed me

My witness I'm hungry

Your temple it calms me

So I can carry on

My slaving sweating the skin right off my bones

On a bed of fire I'm choking on the smoke that fills my home

The wrecking ball is rushing

Witness your blushing

The pipeline is gushing

While here we lie in tombs

While on the corner

The jury's sleepless

We found your weakness

And it's right outside your door

 

Now testify

Yeah testify

It's right outside your door

Now testify

Now testify

It's right outside your door

 

Mass graves for the pump and the price is set

And the price is set

Mass graves for the pump and the price is set

And the price is set

Mass graves for the pump and the price is set

And the price is set

Mass graves for the pump and the price is set

And the price is set

 

Who controls the past now controls the future

Who controls the present now controls the past

Who controls the past now controls the future

Who controls the present now?

 

Now testify

Testify

It's right outside your door

Now testify

Testify

It's right outside your door

Megadeth's A Tout Le Monde

 

Don't remember where I was

I realized life was a game

The more seriously I took things

The harder the rules became

I had no idea what it'd cost

My life passed before my eyes

I found out how little I accomplished

All my plans denied

 

So as you read this know my friends

I'd love to stay with you all

please smile when you think of me

My body's gone that's all

 

A tout le monde (To everybody)

A tout mes amis (To all my friends)

Je vous aime (I love you)

Je dois partir (I must leave)

These are the last words

I'll ever speak

And they'll set me free

 

If my heart was still alive

I know it would surely break

And my memories left with you

There's nothing more to say

 

Moving on is a simple thing

What it leaves behind is hard

You know the sleeping feel no more pain

And the living all are scarred

 

A tout le monde (To everybody)

A tout mes amis (To all my friends)

Je vous aime (I love you)

Je dois partir (I must leave)

These are the last words

I'll ever speak

And they'll set me free

 

So as you read this know my friends

I'd love to stay with you all

Please smile, smile when you think about me

My body's gone that's all

 

A tout le monde

A tout mes amis

Je vous aime

Je dois partir

These are the last words

I'll ever speak

And they'll set me free

[Shrekstasy]

[spoiler=Korn - It's Me Again] shred your bullshit poetry

Yes it's me again

I wreck your positivity

Yes it's me again

 

I funk it to watch it bleed

I kick it to make it scream

I am the alternate choice to some straight life of mercy

 

You see beauty, I see pain

You see sky and I see acid rain

 

It's me again, it's me again (it's me again)(x3)

It's me again

 

I rip your throat out on a whim

Yes it's me again

I only ask for everything

Yes it's me again

I squeeze it to feel it breathe

I smash it to fuel this need

I am the antidote for

whatever sickness you feed

 

You see beauty, I see pain

You see sky and I see acid rain

 

It's me again, it's me again (it's me again)(x3)

It's me again

 

Little Ms. funker don't move an inch

Ya'll dumb suckers can't take the heat

Your blood rushing from head to feet

This is what I stand for

Turn around and say "it's me again"

It's me again
