Favorite Song Lyrics

[ReverseFaller 2,483]

Seize the Day by Avenged Sevenfold is probably one of my favorite songs when it comes to lyrics.

 

Lyrics

 

Seize the day, or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to Ache over

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
These streets we travelled on will undergo our same lost past

I found you here, now please just stay for a while
I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
I'd do anything for a smile, holding you 'til our time is done
We both know the day will come, but I don't want to leave you

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one Picture)

Seize the day, or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to Ache over

Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live In
No longer needed here so where do we go?
Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of Death?
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one Picture)

Seize the day, or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty, and cold without you here, too many people to Ache over

Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna Die alone without you here,
Please tell me what we have is real

So, what if I never hold you, yeah, or kiss your lips again?
Whoah, so I never want to leave you, and the memories of Us to see
I beg don't leave me

Seize the day, or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty, and cold without you here, too many people to Ache over

Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real

Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day [x2 then Continues in the background]

I'm stuck here alone
Falling away from me, no chance to get back home [x2]

Here's In Time by Mark Collie, it is really a delight.

 

Lyrics©:

 

I can hear what you're thinking,
All your doubts and fears,
And if you look in my eyes, in time you'll find,
The reason I'm here.

And in time all things shall pass away,
In time, you may come back someday.
To live once more, or die once more,
But in time, your time will be no more.

You know your days are numbered,
Count them one by one,
Like notches in the handle of an outlaw's gun.
You can outrun the devil, if you try,
But you'll never outrun the hands of time.

In time there surely, come a day
In time all things shall pass away,
In time you may come back some say.
To live once more, or die once more,
But in time, your time will be no more.

 

I can hear what you're thinking.

It's such a great song for a Sonic fan like myself. ^^

For like, 2 years now, I've wanted to see a pony fanfiction written based loosely on these lyrics...

Judas Priest - The Sentinel

 

 

Along deserted avenues
Steam begins to rise
The figures primed and ready
Prepared for quick surprise
He's watching for a sign
His life is on the line

Sworn to avenge
Condemn to Hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the Sentinel
Dogs whine in the alleys
Smoke is on the wind
From deep inside it's empty shell
A cathedral bell begins
Ringing out it's toll
A storm begins to grow

Sworn to avenge
Condemn to Hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the Sentinel

Amidst the upturned burned-out cars
The challengers await
And in their fists clutch iron bars
With which to seal his fate
Across his chest is scabbards rest
The rows of throwing knives
Whose razor points in challenged tests
Have finished many lives

Now facing one another
The stand-off eats at time
Then all at once a silence falls
As the bell ceases it's chime
Upon this sign the challengers
With shrieks and cries rush forth
The knives fly out like bullets
Upon their deadly course
Screams of pain and agony
Rent the silent air
Amidst the dying bodies
Blood runs everywhere
The figure stands expressionless
Impassive and alone
Unmoved by this victory
And the seeds of death he's sown

Sworn to avenge
Condemn to Hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the Sentinel

 

[Pathora 28]

Grey Gordon - Broken Vows

 

Hello, I’m sorry have we met?
Oh that’s right I keep forgetting
You’re someone I used to call a friend
Back when you still kept the faith
Before you sold out every piece
Of every promise that you now resent

Tell me how is it viewed from there?
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Do you remember how it feels to care?
I doubt it.

Conviction never lasts, it seems
It’s passed around from scene to scene
It looks the part but never really stays
You pass it on like your old shirts
With no regard for who you hurt
I guess it’s probably always been this way

Did it ever really mean a thing?
Or was it just another product to buy?
Do you remember what you used to sing?
True ‘til death.

Don’t bother telling me
That you had a change of heart
Your heart was never in it
Never in it from the start
Good luck with your new life
You’ll be happy there I’m sure
But don’t claim to be a part of mine
If you’re not now then you never were
If you’re not now then you never were

No wonder, you're so stubborn,

nobody ever made you dig deeper.
No wonder, you got demons.
Everything you ever did is coming back around.
I can't help you, if I'm weaker.
You took the honey from the queen bee keeper.
No wonder, you have demons.
Everyone's got a choice this time around.

No wonder, you're so stubborn,
nobody ever made you dig deeper.
No wonder, you got demons.
Everything you ever did is coming back around.
I can't help you, if I'm weaker.
You took the honey from the queen bee keeper.
No wonder, you have demons.
Everyone's got a choice this time around

 

 

 

 

Without a word uttered
A comparison is drawn.
A distant future, a cluttered past
Amid the stars.
Vague yet persistent, 
Thought lacking consistency.
Unwilling victim of farce.
The loudest voices scream uninspired.
Their numbers vast, their spirits strong.
Quiet choices sing against the choir
The majority is almost never wrong...
Never wrong... Ever... Never wrong.

A laughable assertion
That there might be some connection
(smoke-filled halls)
Adorn the walls with mirrors and misdirection,
Or let it go. [4x]

No common thread, 
No ties that bind.
Just grasping at threads and keep in mind.
Historical analysis
They play a separate role,
But one contributes more to the whole!

Like a saucer sep...
Let's separate and shuffle off this conflict.
My armament will suffocate (will suffocate),
And leave you feeling useless.

We are your beginning 
And we will be your end.
Affluence permitting, a mutual annihilation.

A laughable assertion
That there might be some connection
(smoke-filled halls)
Adorn the walls with mirrors and misdirection,
Or let it go. [4x]

Discussion moot
Argument ended
An aggressive mute
Strumbling defendant
Fiction versus fantasy
One fact remains unclear
How you pretend both franchises stand soley on one tier?!

We are your beginning 
And we will be your end.
Affluence permitting, a mutual annihilation.

I don't care who shot first
Or for the song and dance you've rehearsed.
(a mutual annihilation)
I don't care who shot first,
Or for the song and dance that you've rehearsed.

The maps are divided
And each are traversed.
Aligment in flux for better or worse.
Is the drain finally swirling or are we swirling the drain?
This drought is relieved with acid rain.

This drought is relieved with acid rain. [3x]

(we are) We are your beginning (and the end)
And we will be your end (we will be your end) [2x]

Affluence permitting a mutual annihilation

 

Fly by night only
On my watch babe

Take a ride outside with me just for a little while
Feel the wind brush back the road and clean you of your lies
There's a tone I tend to touch, a deepened lust from which I fall
And the racing heart will beat endlessly into the dark
In darkness ascend
I take to the night again

Fly by night only

Sabaton - The Art Of War

I stand alone
And gaze upon the battlefield
Wasteland
Is all that's left after the fight
And I'm searching a new way to defeat my enemy
Bloodshed
I've seen enough of death and pain

[Pre-chorus 1:]
I will run - they will hunt me in vain
I will hide - they'll be searching
I'll regroup - feign retreat they'll pursue
Coup de grâce I will win but never fight [mercy killing]
That's the Art of War!

Breaking the will to fight among the enemy
Force them to hunt me
They will play my game
And play by my rules
I will be close but still untouchable
No more will I see suffering and pain
They will find me no more
I'll be gone

I will have them surrounded
They will yield without fight overrun

Overrun
Coup de grâce

I will win but never fight
That's the Art of War

Broken and lost
Tired of war
They'll surrender to me
Caught in my trap
There's no way out
Fail never again

[Pre-chorus 1]

 

[Sir Hugsalot 9,347]

Sybreed- From Zero To Nothing because it reminds me of what I would be like if not my friends one year ago. It has sad and very nihilistic lyrics but I like them and song itself. It proves that 8 string guitar can provide something more than just dj0nt songs with 0 (oh the irony haha) originality. 

 

 

Day after day, recurring self-acting gestures
I can but feel this repetition and stand benumbed
I cannot run away
My existence in dissolution
How could I break this steady cycle to rise instead into light again

I have been waiting for the day when I could sort it out
But nothing ever changes
I’m wasting my own life
I am going from zero to nothing
I have been waiting for the day when I could sort it out
But nothing ever changes
I’m wasting my own life
And becoming what I have sworn to never be

When there is no way out
All just become insignificant
I can’t breath
I can’t sleep
Am I dead
No more faith
No more hopes
No more dreams

I have been waiting for the day when I could sort it out
But nothing ever changes
I’m wasting my own life
I am going from zero to nothing
I have been waiting for the day when I could sort it out
But nothing ever changes
I’m wasting my own life
And becoming what I have sworn to never be

 

And song itself:

 

 

 

Insomnium - Daughter of the moon. Beautiful and deep lyrics (suprisingly band plays melodic death metal, genre that suffers from lots of awful lyrics). 

 

 

Trail amidst the snow-clad trees, winding is the way
Sunless is the path we roam, bitter is the air we breathe
Fell is the icy blast, coming from the hills
Blowing through my ailing heart, wailing in the emptiness inside

Vanished is the light we had, hidden deep in rimy soil
Bereft of us the one we cherished, lost for ever our love

Still at night I see her figure
Flickering on moonlit glades
But passing is the hope she_s giving
Just a faintest breath of air and she_s gone again

The clouds are moving heavily, across the livid sky
Yonder the hues are darkening, slowly turning grey to black
For the two who stray in dusk, all hope is long since gone
Cruel is the winter_s reign, merciless the grasp of despair

For what mirth there is left in life for a motherless son
What solace in this world for a widower to find

Slender the shape in night, unbearable the beauty
Shining in the silvery light, watching me with wistful eyes
Evanescent this vision, unattainable this illusion
But an image in my troubled dreams, hewn out of yearning and rue

 

And song:

 

 

[Scoots and Dash 208]

 

 

The old man’s been stealing
She’s holding her grievance for a hundred-odd years
We all keep believing
That history repeats itself year after year

All I fear’s that the future is worse
We have to give in to the hundred-year curse
Sweat in the sun like we’re diggin’ a grave
Dig deep enough and our fortune we’ll save

“If only, if only,” the woodpecker sighs,
“The bark on the trees was as soft as the skies,”
As the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely
He cries to the moon, “If only, if only.”

Chasin’ the skirt of a beautiful wife
You make mistakes and it’s my back that breaks
And forever my past steals my life
To submission I’m beat but there’s hope beneath these feet

Blisters and blood and the sun makes you blind
You don’t let it eat ‘til it can’t help but be kind
‘Cause you know what’s important with your back to the wall
You can break metal chains when your friends don’t let you fall

“If only, if only,” the woodpecker sighs,
“The bark on the trees was as soft as the skies,”
As the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely
He cries to the moon, “If only, if only.”

I’m a sword but I find myself blunt 
And that is no use when I’m fighting my history, 
Fighting my history 
I have no blade, I’m more like a feather 
That is no use when I’m fighting my history, 
Fighting my history 
I have no blade, I’m more like a feather 
But I can’t fly away when I’m fighting myself

“If only, if only,” the woodpecker sighs,
“The bark on the trees was as soft as the skies,”
As the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely
He cries to the moon, “If only, if only.”

“If only, if only,” the woodpecker sighs,
“The bark on the trees was as soft as the skies,”
As the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely
He cries to the moon, “If only, if only.”

I Can't Stop by Flux Pavilion.

 

 

 

I can't stop

I can't stop
I can't stop
I can't stop

I can't stop
I can't stop
I can't stop

I can't stop
I can't stop
I can't stop
I can't stop
I can't stop

I can't stop
I can't stop
I can't stop
I can't stop

I can't stop

Inspiring and thought provoking lyrics from Violent J right there 

[tehAgg 268]

This song has come to mean SO much to me. It brings tears to my eyes quite often....I miss my mom....

 

Iced Earth - If I Could See You

Where can I turn?
You’ve gone away
I grieve in silence
So much I’ve learned to life today
Still I need your guidance

You always found words to say
To ease my troubled mind.
Now you’re gone.
I feel alone.
If I could see you one more time

If I could see you now
You’d help me find my way
If I could see you now
You’d help me find my way

Where can I turn?
You’ve gone away
I need your words of wisdom
Sometimes I’m lost and in the rage
Taking things for granted

You were the one who did believe
When no one else could see
If I could share what’s on my mind
If I could see you one last time

If I could see you now
You’d help me find my way
If I could see you now
You’d help me find my way

If I could see you now
You’d help me find my way
I’ll find the strength somehow
I’ll fight to seize the day

 

[Sugar & Sins 156]

 

I found a note with your name

And a picture of us
Even though it was framed
And covered in dust
It’s the map in my mind that sends me on my way

They say it’s never too late
To stop being afraid
And there is no one else here
So why should I wait?
And in the blink of an eye the past begins to fade

So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair?
And your moment of truth
Is the day that you say “I’m not scared”

Put your hands in the air
If you hear me out there
I’ve been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
‘Cause I’m not gonna leave you behind

If I told you that you’re not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time

I’ve seen a million miles
Met a million faces
Took all I knew
To reach all these places
And I’d do it again
If it brings me back to you

So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair?
And your moment of truth
Is the day that you say “I’m not scared”

Put your hands in the air
If you hear me out there
I’ve been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
‘Cause I’m not gonna leave you behind

If I told you that you’re not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time

Put your hands in the air

Put your hands in the air
If you hear me out there
I’ve been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
‘Cause I’m not gonna leave you behind

If I told you that you’re not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time
Put your hands in the air
One more time

[Away 2,077]

 

Ways to protect

This hollow shell

So inhumane

Remove yourself

From patterns laid

All through a life

Look at yourself

That's right you're nothing

Feel the void grow

You see you're nothing

Self set so low

 

We were the same

We were the same

Only on broke the chain

We were the same

We were the same

They all go on without shame

 

You're nothing

You're nothing

You're nothing

You're nothing

 

Days in return

Yet no recall

Nothing wrong

Just take the fall

A rush of shame

A nervous touch

Since you're to blame

You see you're nothing

[yayayayayala 1,668]

 

 

Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor

Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender...

Turn your face away from the garish light of day

Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light...

and listen to the music of the night.

 

 

 

:3 That song...I wouldn't really say it was my all-time favorite, but it holds a certain sway over me. If I hear it I have to stop and listen, no matter what I'm doing. It's almost magical X3 'Tis so dark, yet so beautiful at the same time.

[Frostgage 7,975]

I really like these lyrics from Pretty Noose by Soundgarden.

 

 

Fall out and take the bait
Eat the fruit
And kiss the snake goodnight

Common ruse dirty face
Pretty noose is pretty hate
And I don't like what you got me hanging from

I love Dierks Bentley's lyrics, particularly the lyrics from these 2 songs:

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,433]

One of my favorite lines in anything ever, is this:

 

"Redeem me into childhood, show me myself without a shell."

 

That is from Ghost Love Score by Nightwish. It is a line that speaks very deeply to me and it is something I relate to so well.

 

I may post other ones later, but that is by far one of my favorites.

[~ Indigo Windigo ~ 232]

 

When you're rife with devastation

             There's a simple explanation

              Your a toymaker's creation

              Trapped inside a crystal ball

 

               And whichever way he tilts it

               Know that we must be resilient

               We won't let them break our spirits

                As we sing our silly song

 

                When I was a little filly

                 A galloping blaze overtook my city

                So they shipped me off to the orphanage

                 Said: "Ditch those roots if you wanna fit in"

                 So I dug a thousand holes

                 And cut a rug with orphan foals

                 Now memories are blurred and their faces obscured but I still know the words of this song

   

                  When you bungled all your bangles

                  And your loved one have been mangled

                  Listen to the jingle jangle

                  Of my gypsy tambourine

 

                  Cause these chords are hypnotizing

                  And the whole world's harmonizing

                  So please children stop your crying

                  And just sing along with me.

 

[Omega Centauri 317]

In general I have a thing for anti-war songs

 

I guess if I had to pick a favourite, it'd be this.

Bell Boy, The Who

The beach is a place where a man can feel
He's the only soul in the world that's real,
Well I see a face coming through the haze,
I remember him from those crazy days.

Ain't you the guy who used to set the paces
Riding up in front of a hundred faces,
I don't suppose you would remember me,
But I used to follow you back in '63.

I've got a good job
And I'm newly born.
You should see me dressed up in my uniform.
I work in hotel, all gilt and flash.
Remember the place where the doors were smashed?

Bell Boy! I got to keep running now.
Bell Boy! Keep my lip buttoned down.
Bell Boy! Carry this baggage out.
Bell Boy! Always running at someone's heel.
You know how I feel, always running at someone's heel.

Some nights I still sleep on the beach.
Remember when stars were in reach.
Then I wander in early to work,
Spend the day licking boots for my perks.

A beach is a place where a man can feel [etc.]

People often change
But when I look in your eyes,
You could learn a lot from
A job like mine.
The secret to me
Isn't flown like a flag
I carry it behind
This little badge
What says...

Bell Boy!
