Moonspell "Made of Storm"

I am the flood
who drags the dirt
and lives on it
She is the soil
with whom I flirt
and rots with it
I am the flood
who purifies
I guess she calls Me
the Lord of Lies

when I'm inside her
feels like she is
made of Storm

Seven strong they ride on along to the place where sorrow lies

Starfire Dragonforce

I like that line because it reminds me of Dwarf Fortress.

What a cheery thread.

From "Carnival" by The Pillows

The two of us
Dreamt at the same time
Of an age reborn
A future with a rainbow hung in the sky
At just a kiss with you, I came to tears.

I was waiting For the day you and I would meet.

I really like the lyrics to The Finisher by Oh, Sleeper:

Do you mean to challenge me?
Because your speech is threatening
to the writer of your history,
through a future perverted by envy.
Your whisper may sway the weak,
but when I speak it roars the sea.
Your challenge has been met,
because with a breath I could snap your neck.
This won't be like the first time you tried,
because my patience and mercy for you has run dry.
You've watered among my bride
and started seeds to feed your throning flight.
I will sing to the world your storm
is capturing and the angels will join me...
We will sing to a world reborn from suffering.
But mark my words, because if that tree keeps them from seeing me
I will burn off your limbs and you will never shade again.
You will bow at my feet or I'll rip out your knees
and make of your face all the carnage you crave.
I am the Finisher and I am Forever.
I will sing to the world your storm
is capturing and the angels will join me...
We will sing to a world reborn from suffering.
From the armories the angels sing.
You will see them end this suffering.
From the armories the angels sing.
You will fear them when they lift their wings.
They will sing to a world reborn.
They will sing as I cut off your horns.
I'll cut off your horns

This song makes me smile. :)

"Love so pure" by Puffy (Ami & Yumi)

I was his
From the moment we first met
From a solo to duet it took no time
Call it fate
Or just two hearts magnetized
But I never felt so high
Since he's been mine.

We've got a love so pure
Yes a love so sure
The kind of love you hold so tight
We've got a love so pure
Yes a love so sure
The kind of love that lasts a girl for life

Best lyrics ever written?

Daft Punk:
Technologic

Buy it, use it, break it, fix it,
Trash it, change it, mail - upgrade it,
Charge it, point it, zoom it, press it,
Snap it, work it, quick - erase it,
Write it, cut it, paste it, save it,
Load it, check it, quick - rewrite it,
Plug it, play it, burn it, rip it,
Drag and drop it, zip - unzip it,
Lock it, fill it, call it, find it,
View it, code it, jam - unlock it,
Surf it, scroll it, pause it, click it,
Cross it, crack it, switch - update it,
Name it, rate it, tune it, print it,
Scan it, send it, fax - rename it,
Touch it, bring it, Pay it, watch it,
Turn it, leave it, start - format it.
Technologic

I think the lyrics I love the most change based on my mood, but these are recurring favorites:

All my favorite singers have stolen all of my best lines - "Blue Carolina" Alkaline Trio

I could hide out under there
... I just made you say "underwear"
- "Pinch Me" BareNaked Ladies

Either Enter Shikari, mainly just for the vol-au-vents;
"This is a crock of shit I refuse to be fed
So knuckle down and use your head
Can it sunshine bottle it up you ponce
Then knock me up a dish with some vol-au-vents"

or pretty much all Biffy Clyro lyrics.

EDIT: + The Boxer by Paul Simon
Another es fan :D

Mine would be "Well it looks like the end is nigh for our friend here, he's finding it hard to keep his head on especially with his girl screeeeaming in his ear I think we should ask ourselves this? I think you better make your mind up soon so speak now forever hold your PEACE!"
Labyrinth - Enter Shikari
Although all the lyrics in that song are good.

"I simply, Lucifer, refuse to wind up on fire with low-life liars..."

"Then you're destined for the world without chores and sweating -
The eternal hell of boredom in heaven..."

Letlive. - Day 54

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY3YniYLxX0

To all my friends you're all gonna die
And I'll be stuck never wondering why
I aint sad. I'm more so upset
It was such a selfish manner in which all of you left
I talked to god, he saved you some grace
Not to count up all the time that you wasted
You cheated death and that's ok
But according to his watch you were already late
To question god is to question my faith
But heaven seems like such a questionable place [it is]
But while I'm here I know I'm alive
And it hurts me to know that you're all gonna die

To all my friends you've already died
And I am stuck wondering why
See I aint mad, and I aint upset
Because I'm the closest thing to sainthood you never will get
I talked to god, he saved you a place
A spot too far for you to spit in his face because
I never asked for you to believe
I just asked for you to say 'goodbye', before you leave

I hate say, 'I told you so'
'I told you so'

Our memories at discount rates
Still we can't afford it
I believe in something so I hope you're going somewhere

To all my friends who'd rather get high
I'll be at ground level watching you die
Fuck drugs and fuck straight edge
Those are both the things that got the best of my friends
And to all the girls that make it a trend
To fuck all of my friends
We'll all die of the same disease
Whether you got it in bed or you got it on your knees

Can't wait to say, 'I told you so'
I told you so

The boulder on my back has been washed away
The worst part is, I don't miss the weight
The tide is high and they're washing face
Within the sea of time pissed away
The boulder on my back has been washed away
The worst part is I don't miss the weight
When the tide is high I'll watch them sink
Into the sea of misery

To all my friends this is the end
I'll leave you six feet under with those shit eating grins
To all my friends this is the end
And this is way more important than that bullshit with ben
To all my friends who'd rather be dead
I refuse to let you leave without this song in your head

All our memories, all at discount rates

It helps that Jason Aalon Butler is one of the most emotive, talented lyricists and singers I know of.

"Yllä harmaan korven korpit laulaa,
Hurme tämän kansan roudan sulattaa,
Katso kuinka hohkaa kansi taivaan,
Kutsuu se meitä tumman virran taa,
Heikot vaipuu kuohuun sysimustaan,
Sankarit kun astuu joen rantaan,
Halki iäisyyden laulu raikaa,
Kutsuu se veljiä tumman virran taa."

Obviously this:
NOFX-Lisa & Louise

Liza's had enough of men,
She says, she won't get burned again,
She says, they don't know how to fuck,
Her last boyfriend, the shmuck,
Shared with her a nice disease,
Kept her passive, on her knees,
Till one day she took his car,
And drove it to the city.

Liza had put down a few,
When she met this girl named Lou,
Who convinced her to go home with her,
She said, "My name's Louise,
Now would you take your clothes off please?
I wanna take you to the moon and back,
So get on your back."

With a flick of the tongue,
She made her scream,
She made her laugh ,
She made her dance,
She was happy for the first time,
And you know she wanted more.

Now with her legs spread wider,
She needed to have Louise inside her,
She said, "I'll never forget the first time you kissed me,
Now I want you to fist me."
Louise didn't need a second invitation,
She knew just what to do,
Yeah she knew just what to do.
Liza had cum a few times before,
But she had never even seen the door,
Into the world of pleasures of the flesh,
She felt just like 16,
And her life before now was a dream,
Or even a nightmare that's over and done,
Just like warm healing rays,
Shining from the sun.

They make her beam,
They make her laugh,
They make her dance.
She was happy for the first time,
And you know she wanted more.
You know she wanted more.
You know she wanted more.

I've always been a fan of 'Don't believe a word, for words are so easily spoken, and your heart is just like a promise; made to be broken' from Don't Believe a Word by Thin Lizzy.

My newest addition to my list of favourite lyrics is...
Scroobius Pip - Introdiction
"You see a mousetrap, I see free cheese and a fucking challenge"

Others include...
Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run
"The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive"

Every Time I Die - Wanderlust
"I can't imagine what hell might have in store but I know, once I'm there, I won't wander any more"

Every Time I Die - Turtles All The Way Down
"Here I go again, I'm chasing my tail around the sun, standing beneath a tortoise under an elephant under the world" (Discworld reference FTW)

Every Time I Die - She's My Rushmore
"The greatest lovers were murderers first"


My favourite lyric of all time:
The Gaslight Anthem - Great Expectations
"They burned up the diner where I always used to find her licking young boys' blood from her claws"


I do have loads more but can't think of them. Pretty much most lyrics by Springsteen, Every Time I Die and The Gaslight Anthem.

I love you. I'm pretty sure I mean that too.
I was gonna mention a few Letlive. lyrics but they're all too long to post. Letlive. are my new favourite band; I got Fake History about six months ago and have had it on repeat ever since. I also saw them live 2 weeks ago and they were mind-blowing. So powerful, so emotive, so full of energy. I was completely encapsulated. Right now, there's no band I love more.
So yeah, good choice my man!

There few instances in which works of mortal men can be called sublime. This is one of them.

It's never over,
My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over,
all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her...
It's never over,
All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter...
It's never over,
She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever...



Lover, You Should Have Come over by Jeff Buckley.

Oh, man, I had read Dr. Faustus [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Faustus_%28play%29] just before I listened to this song, the imagery it evoked...was so powrful that words cannot even describe it by half.

I'll just make it easy and say pretty much anything by Poets of the Fall.

Also, Detroit Metal City.

I am a terrorist from hell.
Yesterday I raped my mom.
I'll fuck my dad up the ass tomorrow.
I am a terrorist straight out of hell.

It's so deep and inspiring!

Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine
My sins are my own
They belong to me
