[Vern]

Oh comely, I will be with you when you lose your breath,
Chasing the only meaningful memory you thought you had left.
With some pretty, bright and bubbly terrible scene
That was doing her thing on your chest.

But oh comely,
It isn't as pretty as you'd like to guess
In your memory, you're drunk on your awe ,to me
It doesn't mean anything at all.

Oh comely,
All of your friends are all letting you blow,
Bristling and ugly, bursting with fruits falling out from the holes
Of some pretty, bright, and bubbly friend
You could need to say comforting things in your ear

But oh comely,
There isn't such one friend that you could find here.
Standing next to me,
He's only my enemy
I'll crush him with everything I own.

Say what you want to say
Hang for your hollow ways
Moving your mouth to pull out
All your miracle aimed for me.

Your father made fetuses with flesh licking ladies,
While you and your mother were asleep in the trailer park.
Thunderous sparks from the dark of the stadiums,
The music and medicine you needed for comforting.
So make all your fat fleshy fingers to moving,
And pluck all your silly strings, bend all your notes for me.
Soft silly music is meaningful magical,
The movements were beautiful, all in your ovaries.
All of them milking with green fleshy flowers,
While powerful pistons were sugary sweet machines.
Smelling of semen all under the garden
Was all you were needing when you still believed in me.

Say what your want to say.
Hang for your hollow ways.
Moving your mouth to pull out
All your miracle aimed for me.

And I know they buried her body with others,
Her sister and mother and five-hundred families.
And will she remember me fifty years later?
I wished I could save her in some sort of time machine.

Know all your enemies.

We know who our enemies are.

Goldaline, my dear,
We will fold and freeze together
Far away from here.
There is sun and spring and green forever.

But now we move to feel for ourselves inside some stranger's stomach.

Place your body here,
Let your skin begin to blend itself with mine.

Not my favorite album ever made, but I still think it's the best album ever made.

Maniac killa, blood gets spilled
See me on the streets *****, don't get killed
My mind is on my axe and my axe is on my side
Who wanna die, who wanna die

Angerfist - Maniac killa

and

Masters of Hardcore!

The passion, the anger, a true state of mind
Blasting your senses, submission defined
Rumble and chaos, you have no choice
Unleashing mayhem, this is our voice!

Vicarious by Tool

I especially like the last 2 minutes

Credulous at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men.
Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen.
Shouldn't have to say it all again.
The universe is hostile. so Impersonal. devour to survive.
So it is. So it's always been.

We all feed on tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire

Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I

The Pogues: Turkish song of the damned

I come old friend from hell tonight
Across the rotting sea
Nor the nails of the Cross
Nor the blood of Christ
Can bring you help this eve
The dead have come to
Claim a debt from thee
They stand outside your door
Four score and three

(Chorus)
Did you keep a watch for a dead man's wind
Did you see the woman with the comb in her hand
Wailing away on the wall on the strand
As you danced to the Turkish song of the damned
(Chorus)

You remember when the ship went down
You left me on the deck
The captain's corpse jumped up
And threw his arms around my neck
For all these years I've had him on my back
This debt cannot be paid with all your jack

*Chorus

And as I sit and talk to you I see your face go white
This shadow hanging over me
Is no trick of the light
The spectre on my back will soon be free
The dead have come to claim
A debt from thee

*Chorus (X2 I think, it's been a while since I listened to it)

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

Heh, my favourite lyrics, to my favourite song...

Spoiler: The song

Spoiler: The Lyrics

To get my happiness I had done everything
But had done nothing to be blamed and accused of
The sound of footsteps became louder every day
Then I noticed the fact there was no time

I was a believer in life to be myself always
And was not asking whether I would be alive

* Give me a reason why not to adapt in this way
Or judge me to be guilty of so many incurable sins
Tell me why, or why not come play anyway to live
Maybe I overlooked something fatal for me

The whole world was at a complete standstill
And I was in fetters, at the mercy of the mob
The silent warning became louder every day
Then I kept pretending not to hear

Its meaning had been in the eyes of beholder all along
It had grown dark before I found a sign

** “Among the nonsense tragedies, what on earth you are looking for?
You only have to be honest to yourself and your own fate”
Tell me why, or why not complaining way too much
Maybe I overlooked something fatal for me

There is nobody who knows there will be nobody
Except for me, all the world has gone mad

So what is forgiveness you are willing to withhold?
What is the well-being you are willing to make?
Now what? So what? Don't you come interrupt me, oh please
While I am interrupting myself

This really is one of my favourites, if not my favourite song itself.
And it has some damn good lyrics
And I had to go through those lyrics and make some changes, as the lyrics don't always match the words in the song...
In fact, I've never seen lyrics that were 100% correct, so these here are as close as I have ever seen, after I made some changes...

 

[LegendofHugh]

Dead men lying on the bottom of the grave
Wondering when savior comes, is he gonna be saved
Maybe you're a sinner into your alternate life
Maybe you're a joker, maybe you deserve to die

They were crying when their sons left
God is wearing black
He's gone so far to find no hope
He's never coming back

They were crying when their sons left
All young men must go
He's come so far to find the truth
He's never going home

Young men standing on the top of their own graves
Wondering when Jesus comes, are they gonna be saved
Cruelty to the winner, bishop tells the king his lies
Maybe you're a mourner, maybe you deserve to die

They were crying when their sons left
God is wearing black
He's gone so far to find no hope
He's never coming back

They were crying when their sons left
All young men must go
He's come so far to find no truth
He's never going home

Welcome to the soldier side
Where there is no one here but me
People all grow up to die
There is no one here but me

Welcome to the soldier side
There is no one here but me
People on the soldier side
There is no one here but me

I love S.O.A.D. These lyrics, to me, perfectly show the futility of war

 

[Lukeje]

The same as always:
I saw two shooting stars last night,
I wished on them, but they were only satellites.
It's wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care.

Deicide - Scars of the Crucifix. I don't why but this song is just a awesome death metal anthem.


Lyrics

Spoiler

Impale the body,
Scars of his flesh,
Hung up to die on the crucifixion,
Bleeding to breathe,
Cursing at god...
Why!!!!!!!

The glory resurrection; live in wounds of recollection,
Who take his will unreasoned, naivete inside soul defeated?
Lascivious redemption, justify thy vile absence,
Propagate his aggression as you use his words as weapons.

Lies now have you lost, the worthless cause of the crucifixion.
The sanctity, to hang and bleed, and in the form of a human cross.
Blind by prophecy, his bible fiend, a bloody sword of his fantasy.
Tried for heresy, and sacrilege, to bare the scars of the crucifix.

You walk alone with Jesus, in a world of non-believers,
Humiliated savior, Is thy son of heavens failure,
For ever left undone, on the cross for everyone,
His words of god unheard, he is dead and not concerned.

God fatality, the life recedes on the cross of his sign,
Finality, in search of peace, to beg and plead for the end that will be,
The light descends, when suffering, impaled again for your blasphemous lies.
Resented death, his sins confessed, accept the scars of the crucifix.

Sad in your sorrow,
Withered within,
Stand in the shadow of all of our sins,
You are the son,
Choke on his blood...
Die!!!!!!

Peace Sells but who's buying?

Spoiler

What do you mean,
"I don't believe in God"?
I talk to him everyday.
What do you mean,
"I don't support your system"?
I go to court when I have to.
What do you mean,
"I can't get to work on time"?
I got nothing better to do.
And, what do you mean,
"I don't pay my bills"?
Why do you think I'm broke? Huh?

If there is the new way,
I'll be the first in line.
But, it better work this time.

What do you mean,
"I hurt your feelings"?
I didn't know you had any feelings.
What do you mean,
"I ain't kind"?
I'm just not your kind.
What do you mean,
"I couldn't be president of the U.S.A."?
Tell me something, it's still

"We the people,"right?

Can you put a price on peace?
Peace,
Peace sells...
Peace sells...
Peace sells..., but who's buying?
Peace sells..., but who's buying?
Peace sells..., but who's buying?
Peace sells..., but who's buying?
No, peace sells...

I've got two songs in my head the first is a love song by Stephen Lynch

Spoiler

If I had a hammer, I'd build a house for two.
And if I had a sailing ship, I'd take a trip with you.
And if I had a poets hand, I'd write a verse for thee.
And if I had the painter's touch, on canvas you'd be.

But I don't have a hammer
And I dont have a ship
So I can't build your house
And we can't take a trip

And I'll never be a poet
Nor have the painter's grace
So I'll never write your verse
Nor immortalize your face

And also I have herpes...

And the 2nd is a song by Municipal Waste called Art of Partying

Spoiler

There's thrashing all around
You know the Waste provides he sounds
To push the party level all the way to ten

The terror starts tonight
A drunken outrage in our site
And we won't waste our time to rip this place to shreds
We've broken all the laws and moshed on people's jaws

Some truly believe and here's to those that tried
Some people broke their limbs and others almost died
This song is for doing what you love not for the sake of fashion

As the thrash pounds through your head
Pound your drinks
Tonight we shred

We don't need their laws together we destroy
And I won't let them ruin the one thing I enjoy
Tonight's the night we finally get to rip this place apart
And this is how we turn your boring party into art

You worked so hard for many hours a day
It's time to cut loose you should express it in your own way

And edger's can still party too with X's on their hands
As long as you can rage hard with the drinkers of the land
No patrols going to stop doing our own thing tonight
No shitty crew's with attitudes to ruin our good time

But if you love to thrash you know we will supply
And we will keep the party going onward through the night
It doesn't matter how you look or how much you can yell
As long as you stay genuine and do things for yourself

[DanDeFool]

Not really a favorite lyric, but kind of a funny story.

I was listening to "What You Wish For" by Guster when driving my car late at night. Suddenly, I saw a shooting star, and I crossed my fingers and made a wish.

Then, not one second after I had made my wish, the song reached the following lyrics:

And what you wish for
Won't come true
You aren't surprised love
Are you?

Yeah. Fuck you, Guster.

Spoiler: 'The Perfect Fit' by Dresden Dolls

I could make a dress
A robe fit for a prince
I could clothe a continent,
But I can't sew a stitch

I can paint my face
And stand very, very still
It's not very practical,
But it still pays the bills

I can't change my name
But I could be your type
I can dance, and win at games
Like backgammon, and Life

I used to be the smart one
Sharp as a tack
Funny how that skipping years ahead
Has held me back

I used to be the bright one
Top in my class
Funny what they give you
When you just learn how to ask.

I can write a song
But I can't sing in key
I can play piano
But I never learned to read.

I can't trap a mouse
But I can pet a cat.
No, I'm very serious
I'm really very good at that.

I can't fix a car
But I can fix a flat
I can't fix a lot of things
But I'd rather not get into that.

I used to be bright one
Smart as a whip
Funny how you slip so far
When teachers don't keep track of it.

I used to be the tight one
The perfect fit
Funny how those compliments
Can make you feel so full of it.

I can shuffle, cut and deal
But I can't draw a hand
I can't draw a lot of things
I hope you understand

I'm not exceptionally shy
But I've never had a man
That I can look straight in the eye
And tell my secret plans

I can take a vow,
But I can wear a ring
And I can make you promises
But they won't mean a thing.

Can't you just do it for me? I'll pay you well.
Fuck, I'll pay you anything if you can end this

Can't you just fix it for me? It's gone berserk
Oh fuck, I'll give you anything if you can make the damn thing work

Can't you just fix it for me? I'll pay you well.
Oh fuck, I'll pay you anything if you can end this

Hello, I love you, will you tell me your name?
Hello, I'm good for nothing, will you love me just the same?

Spoiler: 'Nowhere and Everywhere' by Yoko Kanno

I'm the feeling you feel (I am everywhere)
A small voice or a chill (I am everywhere)
I am here and I am there

I'm that feeling inside (Do you know me?)
One that comes and then hides (Do you know me?)
I'm nowhere and everywhere.

Don't you know me?
I'm the one you used to talk to
You stopped believing
But still I follow everywhere you go
I'm walking right behind you
And I'm just around the corner
I'm always down the hall and by your side.
You might call me your shadow
Or the reason that you laugh
And you don't know why

I inspire, I'm aloof (Do you know me?)
Spend my time just watching over you (Do you know me?)
I am here and everywhere.

Don't you know me?
I'm the one you used to talk to
You stopped believing
But still I follow everywhere you go
I'm walking right behind you
And I'm just around the corner
I'm always down the hall and by your side
You might call me your shadow
Or the reason that you laugh...
Still I follow everywhere you go
I'm walking right behind you
And I'm just around the corner
I'm always down the hall and by your side
You might call me your shadow
Or the reason that you laugh
And you don't know why.

I'm the feeling you feel
A small voice or a chill
I am here and I am there...

Spoiler: 'Blue' by Yoko Kanno

Never seen a bluer sky
Yeah I can feel it reaching out and moving closer.
There's something 'bout blue.
Asked myself what it's all for
You know the funny thing about it
I couldn't answer
No, I couldn't answer.
Things have turned a deeper shade of blue
And images that might be real
May be illusion
Keep flashing off and on

Free
Wanna be free
Gonna be free
And move among the stars
You know they really aren't so far
Feel so free
Got to know free
Please
Don't wake me from the dream
It's really everything it seemed
I'm so free
No black and white in the blue

Everything is clearer now
Life is just a dream, you know,
That's never-ending
I'm ascending.

Anything Yoko Kanno does has wonderful music and lyrics, but these are my favorites.

 

[JEBWrench]

"Ever since I was a young boy,
I played that silver ball.
From Soho down to Brighton,
I must've played 'em all.
I ain't seen nothin' like it,
In any amusement hall.

That deaf, dumb, blind kid,
Sure plays a mean pinball."

And the rest of the song. 8D

Here's a classic from Clutch. Try listening to this while playing assassin's creed!

Spoiler

Organ grinder's henchmen shaking their coins in time-
"Guild of Mute Assassins will convene at a quarter to nine."
Behind the court house atop a scaffold stands a man with a bag for a face,
"You will not have learned until I return to give my executioner the chase."

The swinging of its censers, the silence of its members
Oh, the Guild of Mute Assassins
From the places in-between that are so seldom seen
Oh, the Guild of Mute Assassins.

Widow in the furrow with thimbles hasn't seen her face in years
Kneels into a puddled reflection to find it is just as she's feared.
In the Garden the Archangel, sword above his head,
"You will not return until you have learned what you've forfeited."

The swinging of its censers, the silence of its members
Oh, the Guild of Mute Assassins
From the places in-between that are so seldom seen
Oh, the Guild of Mute Assassins.

Baby on a threshold with silver. Breath rises from its lips
Beam of yellow light from a doorway and the figure of a silhouette.
In the cradle a wood stiletto rattles like a barrel of bones.
Another journeyman with passion silently recites the oath.

The swinging of its censers, the silence of its members
Oh, the Guild of Mute Assassins
From the places in-between that are so seldom seen
Oh, the Guild of Mute Assassins

And now for something completely different, A sad tale of a long dead girl by The Decemberists.

Spoiler

my name is Leslie Anne Levine
my mother birthed me down a dry ravine
my mother birthed me far too soon
born at nine and dead at noon

fifteen years gone now
i still wander this parapet
and shake my rattle bone
fifteen years gone now
i still cling to the petticoats
of the girl who died with me

on the roof above the streets
the only love I've known 's a chimney sweep
lost and lodged inside a flue
back in 1842

fifteen years gone now
i still wail from these catacombs
and curse my mother's name
fifteen years gone now
still a wastrel mesallied
has brought this fate on me

my name is Leslie Anne Levine
I've got no one left to mourn for me
my body lies inside its grave
in a ditch not far away

fifteen years gone now
i still wander this parapet
and shake my rattle bone
fifteen years gone now
i still cling to the petticoats
of the girl who died with me
