Band's Lyrics.

[Ihreil Junkenstein]

I'm bored listening to Freak Kitchen.
The point is they have damn good lyrics, somethig not seen much with the whiney Limp bizkit style shit now so what bands are there that actually have either good serious lyrics or witty ones?

Most metal bands i know fail because although you can sing/shout along the actual lyrics are pretty foolish .

Example- Emperor. I love Emperor. But recite any of "Anthems...." on your own without lauhging..... it's not possible.

Bands I can think of so far with really good lyrics(And this can just apply to songs not whole sections.People fuck up)....

Freak Kitchen- Move, Dead soul man, and Appetizer albums(Logo and Raw are classics)

Devin Townsend- Accelerated Evolution, Terria, Some of Ocean machine

Nine inch nails- Most of Broken(Last and happines in Slavery escpecialy.)

Nevermore- Politics Of ecstasy(Song and album)

 

[Troyanasy]

You forgot "Porno Daddy" haha

 

[Ihreil Junkenstein]

Yeah but it's no raw.....

6am, jsu woke up dry a woman by my side...
Who is she and where am I and why are my hands tied?

 

[Chromatose]

most of Queensrÿche - Promised Land (album)

 

[PlatypusJesus]

Agalloch-The Mantle
Winds-Reflections of the I
Green Carnation-Light of Day, Day of Darkness
Porcupine Tree-Every cd (they're not Metal, but hey, it doesn't matter)
Blind Guardian-There are good lyrics on all of their cds. Sure, some are just fun fantasy lyrics, but there are some very good ones also.
Megadeth-Pretty much every cd has good lyrics, some are crap, but there are a lot that are very good.
Metallica-These guys always wrote pretty good lyrics. I believe ...And Justice for All contains their best though.
Scholomance-The Immortality Murder
Opeth-All of their cds
Nevermore-Every single song, although the Timothy Leary lyrics are a little silly compared to other Nevermore lyrics, they are still very good.
Tool-Very good lyrics on all of their cds.
There are many other bands that have great lyrics.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

there are HUNDRENDS of bands with good lyrics.
but not all lyrics express someone.
good lyrics:
Skyclad
Queensryche
Psychotic Waltz
Rush
Solitude Aeturnus
these are just the tops for me

 

[PlatypusJesus]

Ah, I forgot all of those bands IOfTheStorm. Yes, very good lyrics.

 

[Soul of Ice]

How bout
Conception - the last sunset through in your multitude
Dream Theater - Kevin Moore era
Fates Warning - especially APSoG
Pain of Salvation - yeah they are wimpy, but i still like em
Symphony X - some are cheese, but the songs written by Thomas Miller were amazing
Tool - Maynard is a great singer/lyricist
Zero Hour - amazing lyrics is all I can say (especially on Towers of Avarice)

1. Black Plague

Allegiance to none, yet nowhere to stand
Time has come to fight or die
enter the arena coliseum of the beast
the hunter the hunted carnage for the feast
chapel in peril prey of the possessed
harboring foes forgotten by all
returning babylon worship the whore
the finale in geneses sabotage by war
[Chorus:]
holy are the wicked into the white
cast into purgatory all must face the light
crucifix and serpentine
condemned before the law
domination of the anarch
crucifix will fall
persecuted subservient to tyrany
witness to thyne own elegy
execution of the deed
unlamented sympathies
assassins led by blasphemy
buried without thyn dignity
[Chorus]
armies approach the final gate
gathered there to watch and wait
their time has almost come to rise
the darkness grows to deadly size
overwhelming evil force
too late to stop their bitter course
invaders conquer, without a fight
like plagues of blackness blocking light


2. Evil's Rising

Dawning sky a day so dreary
seeing faithful weak and weary
wanting so much more than is had
to give up anything in trade
temptation flirts about you
reach out the gold ring could be yours
leading to where no one can save you
the lust of excess brings you end
[CHORUS:]
Uneartly voices, choirs of the dead
calling for mercy, darkness rears its head
evil is rising, mortality condemed
onward and onward to the living end
The choice is ours what will we do
no one will know just what to do
will the infernal fires of hell
entombed into the need to be
or will merciless light of truth shine through (or through you)
[CHORUS]
VENOMOUS CONQUEST DARKENS THE WORLD
TRAILS OF LIFELESS CARNAGE LEFT BEHIND
AND IN THE END YOU PAY THE PRICE WITH YOUR SOUL
[CHORUS]


3. Blood of the Saints



4. Mortal Fear



5. Guardians of the Netherworld

protectors of forbidden places keepers of the watch
seeing those enslavened faces withered souls forgotton lives
atop the perch a silent throne the vindicating eyes
saints of hell of desperate cries
[Chorus:]
Guardians of the netherworld captors of the damned
pinniacle of your disaster the watcher on the stand
exiled on a lifless steeple appointed from above
a veil was placed across our brow
annointed one and all to die
for lust of life
A war is raging on inside us guarded by the horde
with lesser gods of higher rank prodding them to war
no father son or holy spirit
nor defenses from the foe
all are battered torured shattered
allegiance without death is woe
[Chorus]
A maelstrom of impending evil futile fight to win
tides of blackness pull you toward it
consuming within it's doors
BOTH LIFE AND DEATH


6. Distant Calling

Almost the season a time of prophecy for those who know
almost the reason why the voices of the dead come known
a gnawing in torment divided by the polarizing line
Prey to the masses hunted in numbers tortured death divine
And when you see the light of lights
out of the corner of your eye
then and there you will be falling
unless you answer to your calling
Estranged to nocturnal light
In search for what is known but lost by the time
desperatly clawing deceived as a puppet for a price
servant of the master a watcher of the world until you die
revolving on a never ending journey
a glimpse into the gateways of eternity
led to the edge then pushed to falling
for you must answer to your calling


7. Terror & Submission

The conflict rises swift before you
abominations of human life
as if you've seen it all before you
join the celebrated strife
from somewhere deep beneath the surface
the calls of millions just fade away
signalling their new traditions
timless honour the pround must pray
[Chorus:]
Submit to force
I will stand my ground to the bitter end
submit to force
none deny me my right to die
submit to force
now the terror is real
submit to force
closer to fear than before
The holy light of dawn is coming
prince of darkness now retires
the black cat eyed feline mistress
"CHANTS BY THE CAULDRON'S FIRE"
packs of human wolves are howling
the smell of blood is in the air
banshi screams her hellish aria
faithfull souls beware
[Chorus]


8. Tomorrow's End

Projectives of death falling from the sky
destroying humanity
as the mist of darkness rots the lives
evil's presence is seen
tartarus is rising through the earth
as darkness fills the world
voices are howing through the air
but no one speaks a word
[Chorus:]
The deamons curse rules the night with terror and disease
Bleeding souls captured in the sights shoadows of the beast
Mephistephilian boundaries trap the souls
who walk the night alone
no tomorrow except for those
who follow what they know
plutonium children attack the world
with lucifer at thier helm
ascending from the infernal empire
the spirits of doom take hold
[Chorus]
The final day the final battle
the final judgement call
bleeding souls of armageddon
bloodshed plagues us all
blessed enough to see the light
blind enough to walk the night
tempting flames shall fly
who's the one to save your life
and turn the night to day


9. Alpha-Omega-the Bringer of Balance

Hidden in the magic darkness befriended by the night
lies the war torn ravaged victim treason complete a new order arrives
pain the trouble drone infests ever-lasting night befalls revolt
[CHORUS:]
Damned to hell compulsion of the thief
driven by greed tempered by force
sweet evil tendencies the easy way out
fallen soldiers bleeding thier sins
fearing death the cowards tremble, all so afraid to fight
laying down their earthly treasures, trading possessions for the light
fighting back without fighting the blood on them it flows from us
the slaugtering of the lamb insures the lion to be
[CHORUS]
Rising through the mist around me
shacled to my vice
the stench of my own sins surround me
deep inside I need to live
feed the fires for now but remember
deceived by the whore to evil the voices in my mind revolt
telling me trust in nothing questions begin the answer
believe in nothing the deceptions sure
revealing that which has always been
programmed but not forsaken listen not to the charlatan
question all without regard an empty ringing breaks the silence
a voice upon the astral wind tears upon the trusting face
turn away while you still can from the gaze of your temptation
rebillion is upon our hands sacred bredding desecration
the deception's complete
