But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune.
Soldier of Fortune-Deep Purple
one that comes in mind:
And if I go away
What would still remain of me
The ghost within your eyes
The whisper in your sighs
You see
Believe
And I'm always there
Savatage - If I Go Away
and of course a personal favourite:
Religion - sex are powerplays
Manipulate the people for the money they pay
Selling skin, selling God
The numbers look the same on their credit cards
Queensryche - Spreading the Disease
Well..cz for every single one of us has his favorite lines from a song same goes for me too...but there are sooo many songs for me that have a meaning..anyway my current favorite line and that means i think its great too is this one..:
Spring Of Life
"Before I would drink, a thought came to mind,
The fountain of blessing, or ash to my eyes,
Surely an honor, but think I did once,
As now at three hundred, this curse I entwine…."
Rock on Winter's Verge!
These are my favourites (at least the ones i can think of right now):
{Winter's Verge - Can you hear me}
Lost in a world of darkness,
Where light is just a memory
Damned into eternal blackness
Alone I know, I won't be free
{Iced Earth - A Question of Heaven}
I did what I thought was right
All for the love of my life
I know it's sad but true
Something is very wrong
Condemned to suffer so long
For a love so true
{Nightwish - Beauty and the beast}
Didn't you read the tale
Where happily ever after was to kiss a frog?
Don't you know this tale
In which all I ever wanted
I'll never have
For who could ever learn to love a beast?
{Cradle of Filth - Nymphetamine}
Cold was my soul
Untold was the pain
I faced when you left me
A rose in the rain
So I swore to thy razor
That never enchained
Would your dark nails of faith
Be pushed through my veins again?
{Anathema - Anyone, Anywhere}
No one seems to care anymore
I wander through this night all alone
No one feels the pain I have inside
Looking at this world through my eyes
Iron Maiden - Brighter Than A Thousand Suns
We are not the sons of God
We are not his chosen people now
We have crossed the path he trod
We will feel the pain of his beginning
Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast
Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil sends the
beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short...
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the
beast for it is a human number, its number is Six hundred and
sixty six
Deep Purple - When A Blind Man Cries
If you re leaving close the door.
I m not expecting people anymore.
Hear me grieving, I m lying on the floor.
Whether I m drunk or dead I really ain't too sure.
Kamelot have amazing lyrics...just an example from 'Like the Shadows':
'In a glimpse from a quiet childhood
I recall a mother's smile
Nothing needs to be understood,
I am free
In the deep of a distant forest
I'll lose my sense of time
Where the words of the wind is honest,
I can breathe
Someone told me there's a higher mountain
But I'll wait here for a while
Only led by the deepest hunger,
I'll flee from exile'
And from 'Karma':
'who will trade his karma for my kingdom
a sacrificial rite to render truth
the fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
cause all you do in life comes back to you'
And 'Moonlight':
'I have never craved the system's sympathy
I get restless over pity smiles
Some precaution wouldn't harm my history
If I had the will to wait a little while
.
.
.
'Compensation for a misconducted life
Is it way too much to ask
Hard to wake up
With your heart and soul deprived
When the morning comes
The second to your last'
Kamelot - Forever
will you revive from the chaos in my mind where we still are bound together
will you be there waiting by the gates of dawn
when I close my eyes forever
M.S.G - Nightmare
I can't sleep alone anymore I need you here with me
Even though I closed all the doors There's somethin' holdin' me
Never Ending Nightmare Always there instead of you
Never Ending Nightmare No escape this time from you
Def Leppard - Love bites
I dont wanna touch you too much baby
cos making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I dont wanna be there when you decide to break it
No! (love bites, love bleeds) Its bringin me to my knees
(love lives, love dies) Its no surprise (love begs, love pleads)
Its what I need
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to heaven
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
Sonata Arctica - My Selene
I cling to a hope that's beginning to fade
Trying to break the desolation I hate
But until we unite I live for the night
Wait for time Two souls entwine
In the break of new dawn My hope is forlorn
We will never meet Only Misery and me
This is my final call My evenfall
Drowning into time I become the night
By the light of new day I'll fade away
Reality cuts deep Would you bleed with me
My Selene?

People try to take my soul away
But I dont hear the rap that they all say

This is my music, it makes me proud, these are my people and this is my crowd
KISS - Crazy Crazy Nights
even though im amazed by mike akerfieldt's and danni's way of writing my vote goes to Empyrium - Ode to melancholy
Wherever she dwells I will bid a farewell sigh
For she dwells with beauty - beauty that must die
And deep inside me I will wait for her return
To her enchanting, awe-inspiring flame I'll yearn
fav winter's lyrics For I Have Sinned
I can't turn back, the road is long
Too long for me to try
For i have sinned and sin i will
Deep down the well of life
You're lying to yourself again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, put it on the faultline
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Over this. Why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess. I don't want to watch you.
A perfect circle - The Outsider
I've killed a million pity souls
But I can't kill you
I've slept so long without you
I see hell in your eyes
taken in by surprise
touching you makes me feel alive
touching you makes me die inside
Slept so long - Jay Gordon (Orgy)
Fuck you and your killing lies
I hate your pissing attitude
Why did you have to go so low
Trueler - Copycat
What if I break the silence?
What if I do forgive the past?
Sucking like a vampire
The blood of all your friends
But sorry, my blood was poisoned
Now burn in hell
You killed the love
You killed the trust
What if I break the silence
What if I do forgive the past?
Lacrimosa - Copycat
Some days it don't come easy, and some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all, and these are the days that never end
Some nights you're breathing fire, and some nights you're carved in ice
Some nights you're like nothing i've ever seen before or will again
Maybe i'm crazy, but it's crazy and it's true
I know you can save me, no one else can save me now but you...
Anything for love - Meatloaf
Vampiria, you are my destiny
My only love and true destiny
Vampiria...
Youre a beast, evil one
Above your head lays a star
In your heart is buried the jewel
Of a serpent who wished to die
Vampiria - Moonspell
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angelwings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
Nightwish - Wish i had an angel
You're welcome to my world, dark side of the universe
I'll take you for a spin, the mayhem begins
The media mouth is feeding and chemical youth that's screaming
The circus starts to roll, there's no turning back
You think it's right, you made you're mind
I've seen so many cross that line
I've seen them come, I've seen them go, times will never change
It's the same old song - The same old song
That's playing again - The same old song
Pain - The same old song
