music Most Beautiful Song Lyrics

[Windy Scamper 403]

What do you think the best song lyric-wise is? And why? I'm curious, here's my answer;

 

Skin by Rascall Flatts: The lyrics tell a very moving story about a girl with cancer. I think the lyrics of this song alone is better than any cancer book or movie there is without being so negative. And the song is beatiful, so that's a bonus.

 

Check the song out here:

So, bronies, what do you think?

The message is pretty simple: "I'm tired of waiting, where are you when I need you?"

Yeah it sounds damn stupid in English, but it sounds much better in my mother's language

[Lightning Fluttershy 1,844]

I really love the lyrics to Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance. Lovely.

Now for lyrics there is only one man who I envy for his creative ability and amazing lyrics. Adam Young, more commony known as Owl City. He's my favourite artist. All the below songs are by Owl City and have amazing lyrics.

 

I love Vanilla Twilight's lyrics.

 

 

 

 

 

Alligator Sky also has great lyrics.

 

 

 

 

 

Take to the Sky has stellar lyrics.

 

 

 

 

 

The Technicolour Phases is amazingly written.

 

 

 

 

 

Love all of these songs.

 

EDIT: I don't know why they didn't embed themselves but the links are still there. Give them a look for amazing lyrics and great songs in general.

[MelancholicMemory 2,025]

"In My Mind" by Amanda Palmer beautifully demonstrates the importance of accepting oneself for who you are rather than judging yourself by some standard of society or perfection.

 

And it's funny how I imagined
That I could win this, win this fight
But maybe it isn't all that funny
That I've been fighting all my life
But maybe I have to think it's funny
If I wanna live before I die
And maybe it's funniest of all
To think I'll die before I actually see
That I am exactly the person that I want to be

Underneath- Adam Lambert

 

Strip away the flesh and bone

Look beyond the lies you've known

Everybody wants to talk about a freak

No one wants to dig that deep,

let me take you underneath.

 

Baby, better watch your step. 

Never mind what's on the left.

You're gonna see things you might not wanna see,

still not that easy for me

underneath....

 

(chorus)

A red river of screams

underneath,

tears in my eyes

underneath,

stars in my black and blue sky.

And underneath, under my skin,

underneath the depths of my sin,

look at me, now do you see?

Bah, stealing my song from another thread.

 

Here we are, Somewhere in the Between by Streetlight Manifesto, namely the chorus.

 

So you were born, that was a good day.

Some day you'll die, and that is a shame.

But somewhere in the between is a life of which we all dream,

and nothing and no-on will ever take that away.

i really love this song but there are so many to choose from. also digging the mcr love here i love that band i think they are actually quite good have u ever heard their cover of desolation row?

[Kalakauer 20]

Well, I got two songs for that.

 

The first song is "Forever" by Kamelot.

When you read the lyrics you will see that it is about a loved person who died and that she (or he) shall wait in paradise until they meet again.. I freaking love this song 

 

 

 

 

The second song is "Kleid aus Rosen" by Subway to Sally (I know, it's a German song, but hey )

 

This song tells the story of a girl who runs away from home and finds a man who "puts pictures into the naked skin" (I did not know how to translate it, the original lyrics say "der Bilder stach in nackte Haut")

 

She begs him to "give her roses on her white dress", but the "master" first refuses. Later he agrees, but nobody ever found out what price the master took.

 

Sorry, I only found a live-version of this song hope you still enjoy it

 

[PinkiePai 181]

Too much cider, he was drunk, he caused an accident, and now he's crying about it. Sounds kind of emo if you ask me.

Next up, a beautiful and touching song about misfortune, love and emotion. Very deep, made me cry for nights. :c

Streetlight Manifesto's song The Receiving End Of It All has some beautiful lyrics...

 

"Tell me of your sorrows, tell me everything from the start

I'd like to do my part to help a friend in need

I said you could come to me

but when you needed someone most I wasn't there I wasn't even..."

[SCS 7,537]

I love the lyrics to all My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic songs, so I won't be including them in my list.

 

Here are songs that, to me, have especially beautiful lyrics. I will enclose their lyrics in spoiler tags after each song name. 

 

• Song of Myself by Nightwish
  
  12. Song Of Myself
  [1. From A Dusty Bookshelf]
  
  [2. All That Great Heart Lying Still]
  
  The nightingale is still locked in the cage
  The deep breath I took still poisons my lungs
  An old oak sheltering me from the blue
  Sun bathing on its dead frozen leaves
  
  A catnap in the ghost town of my heart
  She dreams of storytime and the river ghosts
  Of mermaids, of Whitman's and the ride
  Raving harlequins, gigantic toys
  
  A song of me, a song in need
  Of a courageous symphony
  A verse of me, a verse in need
  Of a pure heart singing me to peace
  
  All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
  All that great heart lying still on an angel wing
  
  All that great heart lying still
  In silent suffering
  Smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end
  What is left for encore
  Is the same old dead boy's song
  Sung in silence
  All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
  All that great heart lying still on an angel wing
  
  A midnight flight into Covington Woods
  A princess and a panther by my side
  These are Territories I live for
  I'd still give my everything to love you more
  
  A song of me, a song in need
  Of a courageous symphony
  A verse of me, a verse in need
  Of a pure heart singing me to peace
  
  All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
  All that great heart lying still on an angel wing
  
  Now all that great heart lying still
  In silent suffering
  Smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end
  What is left for encore
  Is the same old dead boy's song
  Sung in silence
  
  All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
  All that great heart lying still on an angel wing
  
  [3. Piano Black]
  
  A silent symphony
  A hollow opus #1,2,3
  
  Sometimes the sky is piano black
  Piano black over cleansing waters
  
  Resting pipes, verse of bore
  Rusting keys without a door
  
  Sometimes the within is piano black
  Piano black over cleansing waters
  
  All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
  All that great heart lying still on an angel wing
  All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
  All that great heart lying still on an angel wing
  All that great heart lying still and slowly dying
  All that great heart lying still on an angel wing
  
  [4. Love]
  
  I see a slow, simple youngster by a busy street,
  A begging bowl in his shaking hand.
  Trying to smile but hurting infinitely. Nobody notices.
  I do, but walk by.
  
  An old man gets naked and kisses a model-doll in his attic
  It's half-light and he's in tears.
  When he finally comes his eyes are cascading.
  
  I see a beaten dog in a pungent alley. He tries to bite me.
  All pride has left his wild, drooling eyes.
  I wish I had my leg to spare.
  
  A mother visits her son, smiles to him through the bars.
  She's never loved him more.
  
  Arabesque girl enters an elevator with me.
  All dressed up fancy, a green butterfly on her neck.
  Terribly sweet perfume deafens me.
  She's going to dinner, alone.
  That makes her even more beautiful.
  
  I see a model's face on a brick wall.
  A statue of porcelain perfection beside a violent city kill.
  A city that worships flesh.
  
  The first thing I ever heard,
  was a wandering man telling his story
  It was you, the grass under my bare feet
  The campfire in the dead of night
  The heavenly black of sky and sea
  
  It was us,
  Roaming the rainy roads, combing the gilded beaches
  Waking up to a new gallery of wonders every morn
  Bathing in places no one's seen before
  Shipwrecked on some matt-painted island
  Clad in nothing but the surf - beauty's finest robe
  
  Beyond all mortality we are, swinging in the breath of nature
  In early air of the dawn of life
  A sight to silence the heavens
  
  I want to travel where life travels,
  following its permanent lead
  Where the air tastes like snow music
  Where grass smells like fresh-born Eden
  I would pass no man, no stranger, no tragedy or rapture
  I would bathe in a world of sensation
  Love, goodness and simplicity
  (While violated and imprisoned by technology)
  
  The thought of my family's graves was the only moment
  I used to experience true love
  That love remains infinite,
  as I'll never be the man my father is
  
  How can you "just be yourself"
  when you don't know who you are?
  Stop saying "I know how you feel"
  How could anyone know how another feels?
  
  Who am I to judge a priest, beggar,
  w****, politician, wrongdoer?
  I am, you are, all of them already
  
  Dear child, stop working, go play
  Forget every rule
  There's no fear in a dream
  
  "Is there a village inside this snowflake?"
  - a child asked me
  "What's the colour of our lullaby?"
  
  I've never been so close to truth as then
  I touched its silver lining
  
  Death is the winner in any war
  Nothing noble in dying for your religion
  For your country
  For ideology, for faith
  For another man,
  Yes
  
  Paper is dead without words
  Ink idle without a poem
  All the world dead without stories
  Without love and disarming beauty
  
  Careless realism costs souls
  
  Ever seen the Lord smile?
  All the care for the world made Beautiful a sad man?
  Why do we still carry a device of torture around our necks?
  Oh, how rotten your pre-apocalypse is
  All you bible-black fools living over nightmare ground
  
  I see all those empty cradles and wonder
  If man will ever change
  
  I, too, wish to be a decent man-boy but all I am
  Is smoke and mirrors
  Still given everything, may I be deserving
  
  And there forever remains the change from G to E-Minor
  

  
  
   

• Storytime by Nightwish
  
  
  2. Storytime
  It was the night before,
  When all through the world,
  No words, no dreams
  Then one day,
  A writer by a fire
  Imagined all of Gaia
  Took a journey into a child-man's heart...
  
  A painter on the shore
  Imagined all the world
  Within a snowflake on his palm
  Unframed by poetry
  A canvas of awe
  Planet Earth falling back into the stars
  
  I am the voice of Never-Never-Land
  The innocence, the dreams of every man
  I am the empty crib of Peter Pan,
  A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky,
  Every chimney, every moonlit sight
  I am the story that will read you real,
  Every memory that you hold dear
  
  I am the journey,
  I am the destination,
  I am the home
  The tale that reads you
  A way to taste the night,
  The elusive high
  Follow the madness,
  Alice you know once did
  
  Imaginarium, a dream emporium!
  Caress the tales
  And they will dream you real
  A storyteller's game,
  Lips that intoxicate
  The core of all life
  Is a limitless chest of tales...
  
  I am the voice of Never-Never-Land
  The innocence, the dreams of every man
  I am the empty crib of Peter Pan,
  A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky,
  Every chimney, every moonlit sight
  I am the story that will read you real,
  Every memory that you hold dear
  
  I am the voice of Never-Never-Land
  The innocence, the dreams of every man
  Searching heavens for another Earth
  
  I am the voice of Never, Never Land
  The innocence, the dreams of every man
  I am the empty crib of Peter Pan,
  A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky,
  Every chimney, every moonlit sight
  I am the story that will read you real,
  Every memory that you hold dear
  

  
  
   

• Rest Calm by Nightwish
  
  
  9. Rest Calm
  I went to die in a seaside hotel
  Lanes of memory paved by sweet frozen moments
  
  Deathbed memories of home
  Never let me go
  
  Every little memory resting calm in me
  Resting in a dream
  Smiling back at me
  The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home
  To caress the river with awe
  
  Within there's every little memory resting calm with me
  Resting in a dream
  Smiling back at me
  The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home
  Rest calm and remember me
  
  You are the moon pulling my black waters
  You are the land in my dark closet
  Stay by my side until it all goes dark forever
  When silent the silence comes closer
  
  Deathbed memories of home
  Never let me go
  
  Within there's every little memory resting calm in me
  Resting in a dream
  Smiling back at me
  The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home
  To caress the river with awe
  
  Within there's every little memory resting calm with me
  Resting in a dream
  Smiling back at me
  The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home
  Rest calm and remember me
  
  Every little memory resting calm in me
  (Resting in a dream, smiling back at me)
  Resting in a dream
  (Calling me to come back home, to caress the river with awe)
  
  Every little memory resting calm in me
  (Resting in a dream, smiling back at me)
  Resting in a dream
  (Calling me to come back home, rest calm and remember me)
  
  (Rest in a dream)
  
  [3x]
  Within there's every little memory resting calm with me
  Resting in a dream
  Smiling back at me
  The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home
  To caress the river with awe
  Within there's every little memory resting calm with me
  Resting in a dream
  Smiling back at me
  The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home
  Rest calm and remember me
  

  
  
   

• Turn Loose the Mermaids by Nightwish
  
  
  8. Turn Loose The Mermaids
  A kite above a graveyard grey
  At the end of the line far far away
  A child holding on to the magic of birth and awe
  
  Oh, how beautiful it used to be
  Just you and me far beyond the sea
  The waters, scarce in motion
  Quivering still
  
  At the end of the river the sundown beams
  All the relics of a life long lived
  Here, weary traveller rest your wand
  Sleep the journey from your eyes
  
  Good journey, love, time to go
  I checked your teeth and warmed your toes
  In the horizon I see them coming for you
  
  The mermaid grace, the forever call
  Beauty in spyglass on an old man's porch
  The mermaids you turned loose brought back your tears
  

  
  
   

• Last Ride of the Day by Nightwish
  
  
  11. Last Ride Of The Day
  We live in every moment but this one
  Why don't we recognise the faces loving us so
  
  What's God if not the spark that started life
  Smile of a stranger
  Sweet music, starry skies
  Wonder, mystery, wherever my road goes
  Early wake-ups in a moving home
  scent of fresh-mown grass in the morning sun
  Open theme park gates waiting for
  
  Riding the day, every day into sunset
  Finding the way back home
  
  Once upon a night we'll wake to the carnival of life
  the beauty of this ride ahead such an incredible high
  It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead
  This moment the dawn of humanity
  The last ride of the day
  
  Wake up, dead boy
  Enter adventureland
  Tricksters, magicians will show you all that's real
  Careless jugglers, snake charmers by your trail
  Magic of a moment
  Abracadabra
  

  
  
   

• I Want My Tears Back by Nightwish
  
  
  5. I Want My Tears Back
  I want my tears back
  
  The treetops, the chimneys, the snowbed stories, winter grey
  Wildflowers, those meadows of heaven, wind in the wheat
  
  A railroad across waters, the scent of grandfatherly love
  Blue bayous, Decembers, moon through a dragonfly's wings
  
  Where is the wonder where's the awe
  Where's dear Alice knocking on the door
  Where's the trapdoor that takes me there
  Where the real is shattered by a Mad March Hare
  
  Where is the wonder where's the awe
  Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for
  Before the years take me
  I wish to see
  The lost in me
  
  I want my tears back
  I want my tears back now
  
  A ballet on a grove, still growing young all alone
  A rag doll, a best friend, the voice of Mary Costa
  

  
  
   

• Meadows of Heaven by Nightwish
  
  
  13. Meadows Of Heaven
  I close my eyes, the lantern dies
  The scent of awakening, wild honey and dew.
  Childhood games, woods and lakes,
  Streams of silver, toys of olden days.
  
  Meadows of Heaven.
  Meadows of Heaven.
  
  The flowers of wonder and the hidden treasures,
  In the meadow of life, my acre of Heaven.
  A five-year-old winter heart in a place called home
  Sailing the waves of past.
  
  Meadows of Heaven.
  Meadows of Heaven.
  Meadows of Heaven.
  Meadows of Heaven.
  
  Rocking chair without a dreamer,
  A wooden swing without laughter.
  Sandbox without toy soldiers,
  Yuletide without the flight.
  
  Dreambound for life.
  
  Flowers wither, treasures stay hidden
  Until I see the first star of fall.
  I fall asleep and see it all:
  Mother's care and colour of the kites.
  
  Meadows of Heaven.
  Meadows of Heaven.
  Meadows of Heaven.
  Meadows of Heaven.
  Meadows of Heaven.
  [fading]
  

  
  
   

• The Islander by Nightwish
  
  
  10. The Islander
  [Composer: Marco Hietala]
  
  An old man by a sea shore at the end of day
  Gazes the horizon with sea winds in his face.
  Tempest-tossed island, seasons all the same.
  Anchorage unpainted and a ship without a name.
  
  Sea without a shore for the vanished one unheard
  He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world.
  Showing the way, lighting hope in their hearts,
  The ones and their travels homeward from afar.
  
  [Chorus:]
  This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world.
  Horizon's crying the tears he left behind long ago.
  
  The albatross is flying, making him daydream
  The time before he became - one of the world`s unseen
  Princess in the tower, children in the fields -
  Life gave him it all: an island of the universe.
  
  Now his love`s a memory, a ghost in the fog.
  He sets the sails one last time saying farewell to the world.
  Anchor to the water, seabed far below,
  Grass still in his feet and a smile beneath his brow.
  
  [Chorus x2]
  

  
  
   

• Amaranth by Nightwish
  
  
  3. Amaranth
  Baptized with a perfect name
  The doubting one by heart
  Alone without himself
  
  War between him and the day
  Need someone to blame
  In the end, little he can do alone
  
  You believe but what you see?
  You receive but what you give?
  
  Caress the one, the never-fading
  rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
  Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
  In a land of the daybreak
  
  Apart from the wandering pack
  In this brief flight of time we reach
  For the ones, whoever dare
  
  You believe but what you see?
  You receive but what you give?
  
  Caress the one, the never-fading
  rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
  Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
  In a land of the daybreak
  
  Reaching, searching for something untouched
  Hearing voices of the never-fading calling
  
  Caress the one, the never-fading
  rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
  Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
  In a land of the daybreak
  

  
  
   

• The Poet and the Pendulum by Nightwish
  
  
  1. The Poet And The Pendulum
  [Part 1: White Lands Of Empathica]
  
  The end.
  
  The songwriter's dead.
  The blade fell upon him
  Taking him to the white lands
  of empathica,
  of innocence
  Empathica
  Innocence
  
  [Part 2: Home]
  
  The dreamer and the wine
  Poet without a rhyme
  A widow writer torn apart by chains of Hell
  
  One last perfect verse
  It's still the same old song
  Oh Christ, how I hate what I have become
  
  Take me home
  
  [Chorus:]
  Get away, run away, fly away
  Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway
  I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
  I cannot die, I, a w**** for this cold world
  Forgive me,
  I have but two faces
  One for the world,
  One for God,
  save me
  I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
  I cannot die, I, a w**** for this cold world
  
  My home was there and then, those meadows of heaven
  Adventure-filled days
  One with every smiling face
  
  Please, no more words
  Thoughts from a severed head
  No more praise,
  Tell me once my heart goes right
  
  Take me home
  
  [Chorus]
  
  [Part 3: The Pacific]
  
  Sparkle my scenery
  With Turquoise waterfall
  With beauty underneath
  The ever free
  
  Tuck me in beneath the blue
  Beneath the Pain,
  Beneath the rain
  Goodnight kiss for a child in time
  Swaying blade my lullaby
  
  On the shore we sat and hoped
  Under the same pale moon
  Whose guiding light chose you,
  Chose you all
  
  "I'm afraid, I'm so afraid.
  being raped, again and again, and again
  I know I will die alone
  but loved.
  
  You live long enough to hear the sounds of guns,
  Long enough to find yourself screaming every night,
  Live long enough to see your friends betray you.
  
  For years I've been strapped unto this altar.
  Now I only have three minutes and counting.
  I just wish the tide would catch me first and give me
  a death I always longed for."
  
  [Part 4: Dark Passion Play]
  
  2nd robber to the right of Christ
  Cut in half - infanticide
  The world will rejoice today
  As the crows feast on the rotting poet
  
  Everyone must bury their own
  No pack to bury the heart of stone
  Now he`s home in hell, serves him well
  Slain by the bell, tolling for his farewell
  
  The morning dawned upon his altar
  Remains of the dark passion play
  Performed by his friends without shame
  Spitting on his grave as they came
  
  [Chorus]
  
  "Today, in the year of our Lord, 2005
  Tuomas was called from the cares of the world
  He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day.
  The music he wrote had too long been without silence.
  He was found naked and dead,
  With a smile in his face, a pen and 1000 pages of erased text."
  
  Save me
  
  [Part 5: Mother And Father]
  
  Be still, my son
  You`re home
  Oh when did you become so cold?
  The blade will keep on descending
  All you need is to feel my love
  
  Search for beauty, find your shore
  Try to save them all, bleed no more
  You have such oceans within
  In the end, I will always love you
  
  The beginning.
  

  
  
   

• Pearls of Light by Within Temptation
  
  
  3. Pearls Of Light
  After,
  the cold darkness,
  in the heart of the forest.
  Where birds are singing,
  for the new born sun
  
  In the womb of the leaves,
  on the branches of the trees,
  lies the treasure of the morning,
  the pearls of light.
  
  Carried away by thee truculence of my world,
  I got lost in the search for enlightenment,
  The blue rain covered my roots and I forgot where I came from.
  
  Carried away by thee truculence of my world,
  I got lost in the search for enlightenment,
  The blue rain covered my roots and I forgot where I came from.
  

  
  
   

• See Who I Am by Within Temptation
  
  
  2. See Who I Am
  Is it true what they say?
  Are we too blind to find a way?
  Fear of the unknown
  Clouds our hearts today.
  
  Come into my world,
  See through my eyes.
  Try to understand,
  Don't want to lose what we have.
  
  We've been dreaming
  But who can deny?
  It's the best way of living
  Between the truth and the lies.
  
  [Chorus:]
  See who I am,
  Break through the surface.
  Reach for my hand,
  Let's show them that we can
  Free our minds and find a way.
  The world is in our hands,
  This is not the end.
  
  Fear is withering the soul
  At the point of no return.
  We must be the change we wish to see.
  
  I'll come into your world,
  See through your eyes.
  I'll try to understand,
  Before we lose what we have.
  
  We just can't stop believing
  Because we have to try.
  We can rise above their truth and their lies.
  
  [Chorus x2]
  See who I am,
  Break through the surface.
  Reach for my hand,
  Let's show them that we can
  Free our minds and find a way.
  The world is in our hands.
  
  This is not the end.
  
  I hear their silence
  Preaching my blame.
  Will our strength remain
  If their power reigns?
  
  [Chorus x2]
  See who I am,
  Break through the surface.
  Reach for my hand,
  And show them that we can
  Free our minds and find a way.
  The world is in our hands.
  
  This is not the end.

  9. Elysium
  [Lyrics By Matias Kupiainen and Timo Kotipelto. Music by Matias Kupiainen]
  
  [Part 1]
  
  I've never felt like this before
  Am I awaken or drifting?
  There's a hole in the sky
  Am I alive? Did I survive?
  
  Broken pictures on my wall
  A story of fallen heroes
  Now stare ahead with their blind eyes on
  Lost horizon
  
  Sometimes the traces of life with you
  Are clearer in my mind than ever
  I'm reaching this feeling
  It's misleading me away from you
  
  Tonight I'll find what I've been searching for
  You can rip off my wings once more
  I'm not afraid anymore
  I'm not afraid anymore
  
  [solo ‒ Matias / Jens]
  
  Sometimes the traces of life with you
  Are clearer in my mind than ever
  I'm reaching this feeling
  It's misleading me away from you
  
  Tonight I'll find what I've been searching for
  You can rip off my wings once more
  I'm not afraid anymore
  I am ready to fall
  I'm not afraid anymore
  
  [Part 2]
  
  I am lying on the frozen ground alone
  I've got lost on my way, my time is up
  I'm done
  
  I need to find the key
  To eternal life and see
  The joy, the smile,
  The overwhelming love of your heart
  Is what I need
  
  Give me a sign, and show me the way
  To the sacred place
  
  I can hear you calling my name
  From the distant skies
  I am holding a falling angel
  In my arms
  
  Your shadow lurking in the corner of my eye
  I'm losing sense of what's real
  and what's a lie
  
  I need to find the key
  To eternal life and see
  The joy, the smile,
  The overwhelming love of your heart
  Is what I need
  
  Give me a sign, and show me the way
  To the sacred place
  
  I can hear you calling my name
  From the distant skies
  I am holding a falling angel
  In my arms
  
  How all began?
  Your faith was not mine
  Remedy this fallen life
  
  I feel it burning with me ahead
  The earth is turning to red
  I'm staring at the flaming skies
  Too tired to figth, I just close my eyes
  
  [solo ‒ Jens / Matias / Duet]
  
  I can hear you calling my name
  From the distant skies
  I am holding a falling angel
  In my arms
  
  I am holding a falling angel
  in my arms
  
  [Part 3]
  
  This life has been too long
  There's hope everywhere I go
  
  Do you believe in hope and faith
  Or eternity?
  In the end, you will see
  Let this soul be free
  
  Eternal light
  Blinded my eyes
  
  Feel no sorrow
  Joy will follow
  Now lay down
  And rest in my arms
  
  [solo ‒ Jens]
  
  Do you believe in hope and faith
  Or eternity?
  In the end, you will see
  Let your soul be free
  
  Be afraid no more,
  Just take my hand,
  I'll guide you through the storm
  We're finally home
  
  Do you believe in hope and faith
  Or eternity?
  In the end, you will see
  Let your soul be free
  
  Be afraid no more,
  Just take my hand,
  I'll guide you through the storm
  We're finally home
  
  We're finally home

  3. Reasons To Live
  Once again I'm here alone, my secret life awaits me,
  Still a thousand miles away from a land of broken dreams,
  Night falls and the screen is shining, force deception behind the lines,
  Hours wasted aimlessly gone, time and time again.
  
  [Pre-chorus:]
  Try to understand, desperately lost with a dream in my hand,
  Will you wait alone for me tonight?
  Hold me, save me.
  
  [Chorus:]
  A star shines in all of us, we'll search for all our lives,
  One day we'll find a way, and a reason to survive,
  Cry for the day to return, life no one can understand,
  We all face our fears in the world,
  We all hold our place in the universe,
  For eternity...
  
  Hide the lines deceive myself, erase the past from my space,
  Images of loneliness sent far across the land,
  Once sure, but my eyes are blinded,
  Frantic charge for a place to hide
  Lost generations apart, an ancient life returns.
  
  Kindness in her eyes, taken away by a man in disguise,
  Won't you wait alone again tonight?
  Save me, take me.
  
  [Chorus]
  
  [Pre-chorus]
  
  A star shines in all of us, we'll search for all our lives,
  One day we'll find a way, and a reason to survive,
  Cry for the day to return, life no one can understand,
  
  Our past lives return to us all.
  Our memories will fly free forever.
  So far from the cries of the world for eternity.

[TailsIsNotAlone 3,695]

I've always found a very dark beauty in the lyrics of the death metal band Benediction. While most DM bands sing about death and violence and stuff, their lyrics are very complex and philosophical, even poetic. Such as in the song 'Face Without Soul'...

In reflection the eyes, they glare and gleam
Muted howlings from within a victims dream
Ferocious are its embroiled cries…
The mirror never lies.

[That Guy 100]
