Most epic song line ever

[bassdrum]

I don't know about most epic, but there's a song which has a significant pause in the word 'headphones' such that the line 'She gave me head...phones' takes on a whole different meaning (provided, of course, that you make the connections that the lyricist intended). The song's 'What's the Altitude' by Cut Chemist, by the way.

Other than that, I'm not so sure. I'll think about it and may return later.

 

[El.Cojone.Grande]

Streetlight Manifesto pretty consistently pump out amazing albums, and Tomas Kalnoky is the epitome of brilliant lyricist and songwriting genius. Can't wait to see them live next month ^_^

 

[Numb1lp]

"They say there's a heaven for those who'll wait,
Some say it's better but I say it ain't,
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints,
You know the sinners are much more fun,
Well darlin' only the good die young"

"WHAT THE FUCK!?"

[Sarah Kerrigan]

cold silence has...a tendency too...atrophy any..sense of compassion-TOOL.

Or....

Everyones saying that they've got the answers but hope is deceiving and spreads like a cancer-Emery

 

[Jaeriko]

Start wearing purple, wearing purple
Start wearing purple for me now
All your sanity and wits, they will all vanish
I promise, it's just a matter of time

- Gogol Bordello, Start Wearing Purple

Back in the day, yo, as we learned
A man was not considered to be
Considered to be fully grown
Has he not gone beyond the hills
Has he not crossed the seven seas
(Yeah, seven seas at least!)

Now all them jokers kept around
Just like the scarecrows in hometown
(Yeah, scarecrows in hometown)
From screen to screen they're traveling
But I'm a wonderlust king

-Gogol Bordello, Wonderlust King

 

[Thundero13]

You just gotta igniiiiiite the liiiiiiiight and leeeeeeeeeeeet it shiiiiiiiiiiine, Just Oooooooooooown The Niiiiiiiiiight, LIKE THE FOOOOOOURTH OF JULLLLLY, from Katy Perry-Firework, the way she sings it is just amazing, love the whole song, not that liking Katy Perry gets you many fans on the Escapist

 

[Roganzar]

"My name is legion. For we...are...many!"
Legion - Hammerfall.

Yes Hammerfall has some great lines.

Then there's stuff like this;
Mr. Torture sells pain/To the housewives in Spain
He knows just what they crave
Mr. Torture/If you're feeling alone
Then just pick up your phone/Dial revenge dial alone
Mr. Torture/Mr. Torture sells pain

Mr. Torture/Helloween
Made me stop and start the song over again the first time I heard it, then laughed my head off when I heard it again.

 

[Hwoof]

Iron Maiden "The Trooper"

As i rush head long into certain death
you better stand there's no turning back
The bugle sounds the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins

I thought it was

"You take my life, but I'll take yours too,
You fire your musket, but I'll run you through,
So when you're waiting for the next attack,
You better stand there's no turning back"
etc.


Still epic though.

"Na na na na naaaa!" Kaiser Chiefs - Na na na na naaa
Or any line from Goodnight, Travel Well - The Killers.

 

[thedevilscousin]

In this bloody dawn
I will wash my soul
To call the spirit of vengeance
To deny my wisdom for anger
To break the scream of the silent fool
To be a knightrider of doom

Yes, it's the ultra-cheesy song Knightrider of doom by Rhapsody

Then i can only think of two songs:
Far away
In a land caught between
Time and space
Where the books of life lay
We fear
This castle of stone
The mountain king roams
All alone in here
But he's not the only one
Lost inside
Forever hidden from the sun

Madness reigns
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah

If you don't know this one, go listen to Savatage, and do it NOW!

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this

Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking time. Any fucking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Pardon me but i just love this song, one of the few good by Tool. Ænima it's called....

 

[thedevilscousin]

En nordan at Svartahafi gengr Svidjot en milka Eda kin kalda.
I svidjot eru storherud morg, ok Margskonar tjodir undarliger ok margar tungur; Tar eru dvegar ok risar ok blammen

If you can identify without the aid of google, I shall love you for ever and ever and ever. But you will probably have a hard time figuring it out.
Tip: The band that used this in their song is Romanian.

What is this, ancient norse? Sounds a lot like my language.....

EDIT: djók, fattaði ekki að þú værir íslenskur....

 

[JLML]

Well, I have a few awesome ones...

"I am so fucking metal!" Made of Metal by Dream Evil.

"KILL! BURN! BE EVIL!!!" Song = Kill, Burn, Be Evil by Dream Evil.

"FIRE! BATTLE! IN METAL!!!" Fire! Battle! In Metal! by Dream Evil.

The entire lyric to Immortal by Dream Evil:

Spoiler

Hell, Dream Evil has lots of epic lyrics.

What's this? Another Dream Evil fan? Could it be?

Dream Evil is one of my go-to bands when I need my power metal fix. You should give Steel Attack and Nocturnal Rites a listen if you're into that sorta music

Another one? Really? WE ARE ALL UNITED! WE WILL SPREAD THE WORD!!! xD
And to all others looking up Dream Evil now... Welcome to the evil side...

Ok, pointless references to DE songs aside, I'm quite surprised to find another man of metal. Here of all places. We're a rare breed from what I can see. That's too bad... Oh well, which song is the best? :3

 

[Icarion (aka Stockholm)]

And you run and you run
To catch up with the sun buts its sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is eth same in a relative way
But your older, shorter of breath and one day colser to death

Or
Would your maker have opened your eyes if he prefered them closed?

 

[Original Bubs]

"They say the captain goes down with the ship. So when the world ends, will God go down with it?" Fall Out Boy - "What A Catch, Donnie"

Both lines give me goosebumps. FOB's even as I typed it.

Ninja'd for that line. Amazing on all counts, as are quite a few lines from Razia's Shadow, which I noticed in your avatar.

Particularly from "Holy the Sea":

"There was a boy who shared your bones,
Your eager blood, Your affinity for love.
He had it all in his hands,
and he watched it all turn to sand."

Amazing delivery on those lines. There's also a line from "Strictly Game" by the Harlem Shakes that always inexplicably puts me in a good mood, despite the actual lyric:

"If life gives you lemons, then thus God bade,
So put a little bit of bitter in your pink lemonade."

 

[Iklwa]

I'm going to be completely generic with Zepplin's
"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"

However, it's also a tie for me with
"I know
Where the stars glow
And the skys's unclouded.."
-Blind Guardian "Noldor"

And my all-time favorite:
"Jeder Popel faehrt 'nen Opel
Jeder Affe faehrt 'nen Ford
Jeder Bloedmann faehrt 'nen Porsche
Jeder Arsch 'nen Audi Sport
Jeder Spinner faehrt 'nen Manta
Jeder Doedel Jaguar
Nur Geniesser fahren Fahrrad
Und sind immer schneller da"
or in English:
"Every bogey drives an Opel
Every monkey drives a Ford
Every buffoon drives a Porsche
Every ass an Audi Sport
Every nutter drives a Manta
Every fool a Jaguar
Only connoisseurs ride a bike
& always get there more quickly"

 

[thedeathscythe]

"May our constant lust be a cover up for the lack there-of equality, and it won't stay." - To All Things Expendable, by My Bitter End. The whole song is just brutal, and then this part comes in at a very melodic part, that is still brutal. A wicked dichotomy this band has, and this song, especially that part, shows it. Actually, from the same song is the line "This day will mark the coming of ends. This song is a pulse that ends." It blows my mind when it happens, I stop what I'm doing to listen.

 

[OblivionSoul]

Come wind
Come snow
Come winterland
I have resigned myself to death
Come will to show the hidden hand
So I can draw my final breath
You could take me higher
So you said and I trusted you
I may be a liar, but betrayal lies on you

Kamelot - The Black Halo

Great song, Great album. also, props to the guy who posted the firefly theme.

 

[Cole Sauer]

"The devil feeds on my thoughts even when i pray/ i can't stop it so now let the madness begin" let the madness begin, Fozzy

 

[SageRuffin]

"Fuck the world, fuck love, fuck man, and you/
I hope you drown face-down in your dandruff shampoo"

- "The Jackpot", Atmosphere
