In my opinion, one of the best poems ever. Made better by one of the best band ever.
Iron Maiden - Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner
Hear the rime of the ancient mariner
See his eye as he stops one of three
Mesmerizes one of the wedding guests
Stay here and listen to the nightmares of the sea.
And the music plays on, as the bride passes by
Caught by his spell and the mariner tells his tale.
Driven south to the land of the snow and ice
To a place where nobody's been
Through the snow fog flies on the albatross
Hailed in God's name, hoping good luck it brings.
And the ship sails on, back to the North
Through the fog and ice and the albatross follows on.
The mariner kills the bird of good omen
His shipmates cry against what he's done
But when the fog clears, they justify him
And make themselves a part of the crime.
Sailing on and on and north across the sea
Sailing on and on and north 'til all is calm.
The albatross begins with its vengeance
A terrible curse a thirst has begun
His shipmates blame bad luck on the mariner
About his neck, the dead bird is hung.
And the curse goes on and on at sea
And the verse goes on and on for them and me.
Day after day, day after day,
we stuck nor breath nor motion
as idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean
Water, water everywhere and
all the boards did shrink
Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink.
There calls the mariner
There comes a ship over the line
But how can she sail with no wind in her sails and no tide.
See...onward she comes
Onward she nears out of the sun
See, she has no crew
She has no life, wait but there's two.
Death and she Life in Death,
They throw their dice for the crew
She wins the mariner and he belongs to her now.
Then...crew one by one
they drop down dead, two hundred men
She...she, Life in Death.
She lets him live, her chosen one.
One after one by the star dogged moon,
too quick for groan or sigh
each turned his face with a ghastly pang
and cursed me with his eye
four times fifty living men
(and I heard nor sigh nor groan)
with heavy thump, a lifeless lump,
they dropped down one by one.
The curse it lives on in their eyes
The mariner he wished he'd die
Along with the sea creatures
But they lived on, so did he.
And by the light of the moon
He prays for their beauty not doom
With heart he blesses them
God's creatures all of them too.
Then the spell starts to break
The albatross falls from his neck
Sinks down like lead into the sea
Then down in falls comes the rain.
Hear the groans of the long dead seamen
See them stir and they start to rise
Bodies lifted by good spirits
None of them speak and they're lifeless in their eyes
And revenge is still sought, penance starts again
Cast into a trance and the nightmare carries on.
Now the curse is finally lifted
And the mariner sights his home
spirits go from the long dead bodies
Form their own light and the mariner's left alone.
And then a boat came sailing towards him
It was a joy he could not believe
The pilot's boat, his son and the hermit,
Penance of life will fall onto him.
And the ship it sinks like lead into the sea
And the hermit shrives the mariner of his sins.
The mariner's bound to tell of his story
To tell this tale wherever he goes
To teach God's word by his own example
That we must love all things that God made.
And the wedding guest's a sad and wiser man
And the tale goes on and on and on.

Learning to Fly
by Pink Floyd
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
-
Along the same lines RedDg and the reason we love to fly. Even if they are cartoon planes.
Pink Floyd — High Hopes
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut
There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river
Forever and ever

Listen up cause there ain't nothin funny
I wanna hot girl and a little bit of money
I wanna a little house where my band can live
Cause we're tired of moving every other weekend
I wanna go to parties where they got no guns
I wanna rock with my band, I wanna have a little fun
Where thugs and punks and any other type
Can sing this song and we'll sing it all night singin'
Everything's gonna be alright now
Everything's gonna be alright
Get down stay up all night now,
Lets do this one more time
Everything will be alright, alright
All I wanna do is kick the welfare
All I wanna do is get my share
And I don't wanna run for the president
I just want an honest way to pay my rent
And I'm tired of the man always shuttin' us down
Tired of my old man cause he's never around
And I'm tired of eating off of other people's plates
And I don't look important so they're telling me to wait
Police records said they wouldn't exist
I wanna know the meaning of a Christmas list
Said all I wanna do is kick the welfare
All I wanna do is get my share
All I wanna do is make somethin' from nothin'
It's GC baby and we're workin' with somethin'
Everything's gonna be alright now
Everything's gonna be alright
Get down stay up all night now,
Lets do this one more time
Everything will be alright, alright
We'll be self-made millionaires
These lives we'll lead without a care, oh yeah
And we'll see what we'll be
Everything's gonna be alright now
Everybody say ah yeah that's right
Everything's gonna be alright now
Everybody say it one more time
Everything will be alright, alright
We'll see you when we get there
We'll see you when we get there
On the video
Or the radio
In the magazines
On the movie screens ~ Waldorf Worldwide, Good Charlotte.
And another favorite quote from a song is:
Some friends become enemies,
Some friends become your family.
Make your best with what you get, and this ain't dying, this is living.
~ Movin' On, Good Charlotte.

"White Pearl, Black Oceans" by Sonata Arctica
I was born and raised by the sea; shy yet proud,
learned to stay away from the crowd,
in my home, my lighthouse.
101 steps, round and down,
New Years Eve, one night on the town
can change one life into eternity.
All I could see - her eyes.
We got caught in the moment all of the night.
Taken beyond all lines,
in silence, leaving them all behind.
She had found the sails for the following night.
The town, for her, was getting way too small.
She promised to be mine forever, for that one night ...
Moments, passion, small defeats.
Concealed emotions found in me.
"You gave life to a brand new me ..."
Crossing the wintry fields the first hour of morning light.
Warmed by the flame inside -
the lasting memory of the ending night.
I never had a chance to stop what hit me,
what broke my bones and mauled me.
After hours of deep unwilling sleep in a cold shelter,
fell back in the dark, and the hours of the day passed ...
A nightmare awakes me, blinking light,
there's no guide - blind ships in the night!
Oh, blood red moon, eat away the night ...
Darkness covers my lonely soul,
no one to feed the dying light ...
Good morn', oh dreadful day.
I prayed the moon had lit the sea instead of me, for the sails of night.
"Please tell me everything is alright ..."
My voice in the room broke the silence,
everybody killed me with their eyes ...
what I was to hear made the people cry -
impossible for me to keep the tears inside.
"All on the board the White Pearl have died!
Coastal reef has tolled their lives,
and you are the light of the night!"
One thing I remember, before I fell on the ground,
although I never saw the face,
a name was inked in his arm ...
Love can be like poetry of demons, or maybe God loves complex irony?
The family name stated I had seen before ...
written on her front door!
"Silence in the courthouse!"
A presence in the room we both could feel -
the father of her unborn child and me.
All on the board the White Pearl have died,
coastal reef has tolled their lives,
while I was the guide light!
Back in my tower, run, run, run - light is out.
I hope to see black oceans beneath rise and swallow me!
One step will take me back inside, another sees my end.
No one can love a man who guarded the light one fateful night ...
Flaming eyes I must confront before I am stated free.
Defining innocence is hell after all that has passed.
Building new walls inside my eternal night.
Although they took my heart and dried me up,
sometimes I still bleed ...
Show me the way ...
The light will show me a way on the grisly reefs,
too many dead ends I see.
No soul can save me -
the respect I lost, the measure of a man.
10,000 steps down, round and round,
one night on the town and I'm hell bound.
Black oceans beneath, come and swallow me!
All on board the White Pearl have died,
coastal reef come claim my life!
Black oceans beneath, come and swallow me!
My little tower, seal my fate,
help me pay back - end their hate.
Black oceans beneath, come and swallow me!
One direction; down, down, down ...
pitch black night for my old town,
black oceans beneath shall now swallow me.
"I hereby commit my body to the deep,
to be turned into corruption,
looking for the resurrection of the body,
when the Sea shall give up Her dead,
and the life of the world to come,
through our Lord.
Amen."
Though anything by Iron Maiden or any other bands I like are great too! :rock

Two Suns in the Sunset (Waters)
In my rear view mirror the sun is going down
Sinking behind bridges in the road
And I think of all the good things
That we have left undone
And I suffer premonitions
Confirm suspicions
Of the holocaust to come.
The wire that holds the cork
That keeps the anger in
Gives way
And suddenly it's day again.
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done.
Two suns in the sunset
Hmmmmmmmmmm
Could be the human race is run.
Like the moment when the brakes lock
And you slide towards the big truck
"Oh no!"
"[scream] Daddy, Daddy!"
You stretch the frozen moments with your fear.
And you'll never hear their voices
And you'll never see their faces
You have no recourse to the law anymore.
And as the windshield melts
My tears evaporate
Leaving only charcoal to defend.
Finally I understand the feelings of the few.
Ashes and diamonds
Foe and friend
We were all equal in the end.
Pink Floyd

Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now
I hear you're feeling down
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again
Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are the only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb
I have become comfortably numb
Okay
Just a little pinsalamander
There'll be no more
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are the only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown the dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb
no need to explain!!! best band ever

Why Don't We Do It In The Road
Artist:The Beatles
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
No one will be watching us
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
No one will be watching us
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
No one will be watching us
Why don't we do it in the road

I. Paradise
Boy:
I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Girl:
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed
Ain't no doubt about it
Baby got to go and shout it
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Boy:
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed
Baby doncha hear my heart
You got it drowning out the radio
I've been waiting so long
For you to come along and have some fun
And I gotta let ya know
No you're never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes I got a big surprise
It'll feel all right
Well I wanna make your motor run
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!
Though it's cold and lonley in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Paradise by the dashboard light
You got to do what you can
And let Mother Nature do the rest
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely--
We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go allt he way
An tonight's the night...
Radio Broadcast:
Ok, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker
going here, two down, nobody on, no score,
bottom of the ninth, there's the wind-up and
there it is, a line shot up the middle, look
at him go. This boy can really fly!
He's rounding first and really turning it on
now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna
try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center,
and here comes the throw, and what a throw!
He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out!
No, wait, safe--safe at second base, this kid really
makes things happen out there.
Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch--
he's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying
for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt--
safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base!
He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost
daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher
glance over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted
down the third base line, the suicide squeeze in on!
Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close,
here's the throw, there's the play at the plate,
holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!
II. Let Me Sleep On It
Girl:
Stop right there!
I gotta know right now!
Before we go any further--!
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
Do you love me!?

Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life!?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife!?

Boy:

Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it

Baby, baby let me sleep on it

Girl:

Boy:

Girl:
Will you love me forever!!!
III. Praying for the End of Time
Boy:
I couldn't take it any longer
Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore that I would love you to the end of time!
So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!
Boy:
It was long ago and it was far away
and it was so much better than it is today
Girl:
It never felt so good
It never felt so right
And we were glowing like
A metal on the edge of a knife

Rammstein - Amour (French for Love)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_LpRpD9bXg
Love is a wild animal
It breathes you it looks for you
It nests upon broken hearts
and goes hunting when there are kisses and candles
It sucks tightly on your lips
and digs tunnels through your ribs
It drops softly like snow
First it gets hot then cold in the end it hurts
Amour Amour
Everyone just wants to tame you
Amour Amour in the end
caught between your teeth
Love is a wild animal
It bites and scratches and kicks towards me
It holds me tightly with a thousand arms
and drags me into its love nest
It devours me completely
and retches me back out after many years
It drops softly like snow
First it gets hot then cold in the end it hurts
Amour Amour
Everyone just wants to tame you
Amour Amour in the end
caught between your teeth
Love is a wild animal
You fall into its trap
It stares into your eyes
Spellbound when its gaze hits you
Please please give me poison

She's a good girl,

It's a long day,

Life sucks and Then You Die
My house burned down in a flash of thunder.
My wife ran off with a one-legged plumber.
My crops fell dead when the riverbed went dry.
My dog got squashed by a pickup truck.
My son ran away and got hooked on drugs.
My daughter's knocked up by the class of '85.
People say that life is good;
It don't seem good to me.
I'm lost without a paddle,
And I'm headed up toejam creek.
People say that life is fun,
But I don't know why.
As far as I can tell,
LIFE SUCKS then you die.
The government dumps its toxic waste
Right on top of my mother's grave.
A team of experts say it won't do her no harm.
But my sheep went crazy and killed my mule.
I cut off my dick with a power tool
Fixin' the hole where the meteor hit the barn.
(And it hurt, too!)
People say that life is good,
But I just piss and moan.
I got one foot on a banana peel,
The other in the Twilight Zone.
People say that life is fun,
But I don't know why.
As far as I can tell,
LIFE SUCKS then you die.
Let me hear some "yee-hah"s out there!
I went to the store to buy some shells.
My gun went off and blew the owner to hell.
Now I'm sittin' here in jail, singin' this song.
And one guy wants to cut me with a knife.
Another guy wants me to be his wife.
Hey, I wish they'd hang me before somethin' really goes wrong!
People say that life is good,
Give thanks for what you have.
When all you have is nothin',
Nothin' makes you glad.
People say that life is fun,
But I don't know why.
As far as I can tell,
LIFE SUCKS, then you die.
I said, people say that life is fun,
But I don't know why.
As far as I can tell,
LIFE SUCKS,
LIFE SUCKS
LIFE SUCKS, then you die.

Slayer-War Ensemble (not my favorite but a good one) :rock
Propaganda death ensemble
Burial to be
Corpses rotting through the night
In blood laced misery
Scorched earth the policy
The reason for the singe
The pendulum it shaves the blade
The strafing air blood raid
infiltration push reserves
Encircle the front llines
Supreme art of strategy
Playing on the minds
Bombard till submission
Take all to their graves
Indication of triumph
The number that are dead
Sport the war, war support
The sport is war, total war
When victory's a massacre
The final swing is not a drill
It's how many people I can kill
Be dead friend from abve
When darkness falls
Descend into my sights
Your fallen walls
Spearhead break through the lines
Flanked all around
Soldiers of attrition
Forward their ground
GRegime prophetic age
Old in its time
Flowing veins run on through
Deep in the Rhine
Center of the web
All battles scored
What is our war crimes
(Era forever more...war)
Propaganda war ensemble
Burial to be
Bones shining in the night
In blood laced misery
Campaign of elimination
Twisted psychology
When victory is to survive
And death is defeat
Sport the war, war support
The sport is total war
When victory's a massacre
When victory is survival
When this end is a slaughter
The final swing is not a drill
It's how many people I can kill

Here's one that brings goose bumps everytime I hear it.
From the Halls of MontezumaTo the Shores of Tripoli;We fight our country's battlesIn the air, on land and sea;First to fight for right and freedom And to keep our honor clean; We are proud to claim the title of United States Marine. Our flag's unfurled to every breezeFrom dawn to setting sun;We have fought in ev'ry clime and placeWhere we could take a gun;In the snow of far-off Northern landsAnd in sunny tropic scenes; You will find us always on the job--The United States Marines. Here's health to you and to our CorpsWhich we are proud to serve In many a strife we've fought for life And never lost our nerve;If the Army and the NavyEver look on Heaven's scenes; They will find the streets are guarded By United States Marines.

Eh, mine usually changes alot, but, for now, it's Over the Hills and Far Away - Nightwish
They came for him one winter's night.
Arrested, he was bound.
They said there'd been a robbery,
his pistol had been found.
They marched him to the station house,
he waited for the dawn.
And as they led him to the dock,
he knew that he'd been wronged.
"You stand accused of robbery,"
he heard the bailiff say.
He knew without an alibi,
tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.
Over the hills and far away,
for ten long years he'll count the days.
Over the mountains and the seas,
a prisoner's life for him there'll be.
He knew that it would cost him dear,
but yet he dare not say.
Where he had been that fateful night,
a secret it must stay.
He had to fight back tears of rage.
His heartbeat like a drum.
For with the wife of his best friend,
he spent his final night of freedom.
Over the hills and far away,
he swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and the seas,
back in her arms he swear he'll be.
Over the hills and far away.
Over the hills and, over the hills and,
over the hills and far away.
Each night within his prison cell,
he looks out through the bars.
He reads the letters that she wrote.
One day he'll know the taste of freedom.
Over the hills and far away,
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
back in his arms he swears she'll be.
Over the hills and far away,
he swears he will return one day.
far from the mountains and the seas,
back in her arms is where he'll be.
Over the hills and far away,
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
back in his arms is where she'll be.
Over the hills,
over the hills and far away.
Over the hills,
over the hills and far away.

Three that come to mind, just hope I can fit it all in :)
There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have
Two meanings
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are
Misgiven
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder
There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west
And my spirit is crying
or leaving
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those
Who stand looking
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it really makes me wonder
And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will
Echo with laughter
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, ooh, whoa, oh
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean
For the May queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change
The road you're on
And it makes me wonder
Aw, uh, oh
Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow?
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?
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
And if you listen very hard
The truth will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
And she's buying a stairway
To heaven...
Obvious enough? Do I need to say?
Second one: Atreyu "Slow Burn"
It begins with a dark glowing ember
something black burning its way out of me
searing the flesh
pain is the only thing i feel
scars all i see
oh no the fires burning my insides again
what can i do to silence my desire tonight
flames consuming reason
Leaving only ashes left
you will catch me regretting my decision
I can't keep telling myself what i want to hear
I can't just close my eyes
i know that
its killing me
and its poisoning the best in me
what i see i don't want to believe
so let me tell you more
about the lies i lead
that is how i chose to douse the flames in gasoline
broken teeth replace the blackout memories in my head
wreckage from the past haunts me, shakes me to the bone
i know it's over but i can't go home tonight
but after this i feel as empty as the night before
feel the pain and yet i'm still begging for more
masochistic nihilistic urging backward thought
my life's a mess and i can't find a way to fix it
I can't keep telling myself what i want to hear
I can't just close my eyes
its killing me
and its poisoning the best in me
what i see i don't want to believe
so let me tell you more
about the lie i lead
Calling calling out
the darkest reaches of my soul are riddled with self doubt
crawling crawling out
my will to fight will more than suffice
when others would lay down
it's only as dark as you make it
its killing me
and its poisoning the best in me
what i see i don't want to believe
so let me tell you more
about the lie i lead
Thrid one: Incubus "Black Heart Inertia"
Walking alone tonight
‘Cause I’ve only got room for two
Me and my burdened black heart
It’s all we know how to do
Yet I look for a bigger bang
Than the kind I continually see
Sick of all this inertia ow
Won’t you mend me?
Lover, can you help me?
I’m a child lost in the woods
A black heart pollutes me
And I think
You’re a mountain that I’d like to climb
Not to conquer, but to share in the view
Pulled by a false inertia
Pushed out by circumstance
Pistol firing at my feet
That’s coercing me to dance
Yet I look for a bigger bang
Than the kind I’m sorry to know.
Here I am, first foot of the climb
Watch me go.
Lover, can you help me?
I’m a child lost in the woods
A lit path eludes me
And I think
You’re a mountain that I’d like to climb
Not to conquer, but to share in the view
You’re a bonfire and I’m gathered ’round you
Set this old black heart inertia aflame
Send it away (repeat)
You’re a mountain
That I’d like to climb
Not to conquer, but to share in the view
You’re a bonfire
And I’m gathered ’round you
Set this old black heart inertia aflame
Set it aflame, send it away

I have a few, but since I don't want to get banned I'll just list a couple of starting lyrics...
Oh my name is Sammy Small...
I love my wife
yes I do yes I do
I love her truuuuly...
I saw a dead (woman who offers sex in exchange for money) by the roadside...
This one from Dos Gringos isn't as bad.
Has anybody seen my wingman,
I'm sure he's in a hell of a fix
I scanned all through the skys but I needent use my eyes
cause that effer always flys at my dead six
So him him eff him, what a way to go
but at least he's not jamming up the effin radio
Is he live or did he split, I don't give a effing shxt
it's all the more glory for me!
Or...
Lyrics to The Wingmen (Dos Gringos):
We're the wingmen, and it's nice to meet you too
We're just gonna stand here till you tell us what to do
We're the wingmen and we aint got much to say
And if we did you know that we would eff it up anyway
We're the wingmen and we haven't got a clue
So if you're not a wingmen than to hell with you
Knock, Knock
Who's there?
Too wide
Too wide who?
2, why'd you let us fly into Saudi today
Cause we're the wingmen and we bear all the shame
When flight lead screws the pooch, you can guess who takes the blame
We're the wingmen and we're tired of keeping sight
We could do just fine without that ***hole on the right
We're the wingmen and we think we have a clue
So if you're not a wingmen than to hell with you
Knock Knock
Who's there?
Too Huge
Too huge who?
2, You just got the lead on the left
Uh, we're the tac lead, and we don't , uh, aw eff it, fox 3!!
We're the wingmen and you know we never miss
We just shot our flight lead down and now he's effing pissed
We're the wingmen and we hate to be alone
Without someone to follow we would never make it home
We're the wingmen and we haven't got a clue so if you're not a wingmen than to hell with you
Knock Knock
Who's there?
Stu
Stu who?
Stupid American tell us everything you know
Everything?
Everything
All right
We're the wingmen and we don't know a thing
If we were to think they'd have our sses in a sling
We're the wingmen, there's no better life than this
Cause knowledge is the power but ignorance is bliss
We're the wingmen and we haven't got a clue
So if you're not a wingmen than to hell with you!!!!

my favorite probably would be The Script- The Man Who Cant Be Moved
going back to the corner where i first saw you,
gonna camp in my sleeping bag. i'm not gonna move,
got some words on cardboard got your picture in my hand,
saying if you see this girl can you tell her where i am,
some try to hand me money they don't understand,
i'm not... broke i'm just a broken hearted man,
i know it makes no sense, but what else can i do,
how can i move on when i've been in love with you...
cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth i can be,
thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
and you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
so i'm not moving...
i'm not moving.
policeman says son you can't stay here,
i said there's someone i'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year,
gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows,
if she changes her mind this is the first place she will go.
cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth i can be,
thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
and you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
so i'm not moving...
i'm not moving.
i'm not moving...
i'm not moving.
people talk about the guy
whos waiting on a girl...
oohoohwoo
there are no holes in his shoes
but a big hole in his world...
hmmmm
maybe i'll get famous as man who can't be moved,
and maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news,
and you'll come running to the corner...
cos you'll know it's just for you
i'm the man who can't be moved
i'm the man who can't be moved...
cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth i can be,
thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
and you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
[repeat in background]
so i'm not moving...
i'm not moving.
i'm not moving...
i'm not moving.
going back to the corner where i first saw you,
gonna camp in my sleeping bag not i'm not gonna move.

Here's one that brings goose bumps everytime I hear it.
From the Halls of MontezumaTo the Shores of Tripoli;We fight our country's battlesIn the air, on land and sea;First to fight for right and freedom And to keep our honor clean; We are proud to claim the title of United States Marine. Our flag's unfurled to every breezeFrom dawn to setting sun;We have fought in ev'ry clime and placeWhere we could take a gun;In the snow of far-off Northern landsAnd in sunny tropic scenes; You will find us always on the job--The United States Marines. Here's health to you and to our CorpsWhich we are proud to serve In many a strife we've fought for life And never lost our nerve;If the Army and the NavyEver look on Heaven's scenes; They will find the streets are guarded By United States Marines.
Semper Fi and happy birthday! :salute

This, unfortunatley, was the story of many, many families in WWII.
House of Heroes
By Your Side
Born on the plains
a farmers sons and brothers the same
raised on promises
we'd stay that way
As boys we believed
summers at the sea
we were free
to become men of good will
side by side
And we were children then
footprints in the sand
and where the ocean bends
we made our promises
Duty soon calls
1943 we enrolled
together we would be our family's pride
And we were soldiers then
our bodies in the sand
and like that sand through our hands
go our grandest plans
and just to see you face for one moment
I'd cross the ocean again
the end is not the end
and I'll be by your side
on the other side
and I'll be by your side
on the other side
And through the cloud of death
We find our way back home
and though I hold your hand
all must go alone
and when you see the face of our maker
you don't have to be ashamed
he knows the promises we made
and I'll be by your side
on the other side
and I'll be by your side
on the other side

Over the hills,

I love Nightwish!! :aok :rock You do know that song was originally by Gary Moore, right? Both versions are excellent!

It's impossible to pick my favorite lyrics, so I'll post some good lyrics from today :D
The Fear by Zebrahead
I think that time has got the
Best of me, best of me
I wish the worship was mine
Apathy, apathy
For we live another day
Close it in, close it in
Technique I put me on the wall again
When I split right down the middle
Spill my insides
Hurts just a little
Split, split right down the middle
Swallow my pride
Choke, then I let go
Stop, wake up
These lies will help me find you
Fade in, fade out if that’s what you got
Girl give up, the truth can get you through
Can not deny
It can not be spoken
I think my instincts will get
Rid of me, rid of me
And my sins will weigh on me
Heavily, heavily
Will you remember reside
Fade away, fade away
Then I’m the one that should take all the blame
When I split right down the middle
Spill my insides
Hurts just a little
Split, split right down the middle
Swallow my pride
Choke, then I let go
Stop, wake up
These lies will help me find you
Fade in, fade out if that’s what you got
Girl give up, the truth can get you through
Can not deny
It can not be spoken
Stop, wake up
These lies will help me find you
Fade in, fade out if that’s what you got
Girl give up, the truth can get you through
Can not deny
It can not be spoken
Do you believe that it’s the dark before the dawn?
Do you believe
Do you believe that when you’re down you carry on?
Do you believe
I know the pressure makes you audible to love
I know that you can rise above
Losing pace, I can’t stay in this place
And I can’t, and I won’t, and I don’t need you
Losing face, what a shame and a waste
And I can’t, and I won’t, and I don’t need you
Stop, wake up
These lies will help me find you
Fade in, fade out if that’s what you got
Girl give up, the truth can get you through
Can not deny
It can not be spoken
Stop, wake up
These lies will help me find you
Fade in, fade out if that’s what you got
Girl give up, the truth can get you through
Can not deny
It can not be spoken
Deny, it can not be spoken
Deny, it can not be spoken

I normally don't care about lyrics, but here's a few that get to me:
Still falling
Breathless and on again
Inside today
Inside me today
Around broken in two
Til your eyes share into dust
Like two strangers turning into dust
Til my hand shook with the weight of fear
I could possibly be fading
Or have something more to gain
I could feel myself growing colder
I could feel myself under your fate
Under your fate
It was you, breathless and torn
I could feel my eyes turning into dust
Into strangers, turning into dust
Turning into dust
Turning into dust
another:
Nothing left to say
And all I've left to do
Is run away
From you
And she led me on, down
With secrets I can't keep
Close your eyes and sleep
Don't wait up for me
Hush now don't you speak
To me
Wrapped my hurt in you
And took my shelter in that pain
The opiate of blame
Is your broken heart, your heart
So now I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
I'll betray my tears
To anyone caught in our ruse of fools
One last kiss from me...yeah
One last kiss good night
Didn't want to lose you once again
Didn't want to be your friend
Fulfilled a promise made of tin
And crawled back to you
I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
I'll betray myself
To anyone, lost, anyone but you
So let the sadness come again
On that you can depend on me, yeah
Until the bitter, bitter end of the world, yeah
When god sleeps in bliss
And I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
And I'll betray myself
To anyone
