Well, two tie for #1.

1: For Whom the Bells Toll:

Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On the fight, for they are right, yes, by whos to say?
For a hill men would kill, why? they do not know
Suffered wounds test there their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

Take a look to the sky just before you die
It is the last time you will
Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they will see what will be, blinded eyes to see

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

This song is based on the book written in 1940 by Ernest Hemingway. It was based on Robert Jordan, in the Spanish civil war.



2: To Live is to Die:

When a Man Lies He Murders
Some Part of the World
These Are the Pale Deaths Which
Men Miscall Their Lives
All this I Cannot Bear
to Witness Any Longer
Cannot the Kingdom of Salvation
Take Me Home

This song has a very sad background. On a Metallica tour in 1986, the bassist Cliff Burton died in a bus accident. This song was then written as a tribute to Cliff, with a mix of Cliff's riffs that he wrote, and therefor it is mostly instrumental. The small poem near the end was written by a German poet, Paul Gerhardt, and was one of Cliff's favorite poems.




Your turn!:sasmokin:

From the british band wombats:

I've met someone that makes me feel seasick
Oh what a skill to have
Oh what a skill to have
So many skills that make her distinctive
But they're not mine to have
No they're not mine

Whenever she looks i read the nearest paper
No i don't care about the soaps
No i don't care about the soaps
Though i'm acting like i'm in an Eastenders episode

If this is a rom-com
Kill the director
If this is a rom-com
Kill the director please

Carrots help us see much better in the dark
Don't talk to girls; they'll break your heart
And this is my head and this is my spout
They work together; they can't figure anything out

So with the angst of a teenage band
Here's another song about a gender i'll never understand
Here's another song about a gender i'll never understand

If this is a rom-com
Kill the director
If this is a rom-com
Kill the director
If this is a rom-com
Kill the director please

From the british band wombats:

the tour manager lives next door to me. i get free tickets.

Just this.


Feel the light up in your life ! Let it shine… Shine so bright !
'Til the stars up in the sky, fade away into sunrise
Lift me up lift me up lift me up high up into the sky
Give me love give me love give me love I'm so high I'm so hiiiiigh oh yeah

You just got one life, now is the time for you to live it, live it
You just got one heart, let out your love, you've got to give it give it
Can you feel it in your heart?

-> Fentura - Live it (Klaas RMX) or (Original mix)

Know your place in life is where you want to be
Don't let them tell you that you owe it all to me
Keep on looking forward, no use in looking round
Hold your head above the ground and they won't bring you
Down

Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind
A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind
We marvel after those who sought
New wonders in the world, wonders in the world,
Wonders in the world they wrought

Live for yourself – there's no one else
More worth living for
Begging hands and bleeding hearts will
Only cry out for more

Well, I know they've always told you
Selfishness was wrong
Yet it was for me, not you, I
Came to write this song

Anthem, by Rush.

Waiting for the winds of change
To sweep the clouds away
Waiting for the rainbow's end
To cast its gold your way
Countless ways
You pass the days

Waiting for someone to call
And turn your world around
Looking for an answer to
The question you have found
Looking for
An open door

You don't get something for nothing
You don't get freedom for free
You won't get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dreams might be

What you own is your own kingdom
What you do is your own glory
What you love is your own power
What you live is your own story
In your head is the answer
Let it guide you along
Let your heart be the anchor
And the beat of your own song

Something for Nothing, also by Rush.

2112 (by Rush again) also has great lyrics, but I won't post them, because the song is over 20 minutes long.

Rush is the only band whose lyrics actually mean something to me.

Meh, if you guys were french I'd whip out that 10-minute song by Les Collocs. great stuff !

2: To Live is to Die:

The small poem near the end was written by a German poet, Paul Gerhardt, and was one of Cliff's favorite poems.

I like this one too. The poem makes me sad when I think about it.
I still feel stupid whenever I hear the song, as it reminds me of all those times I listened to it on max volume without even hearing/noticing the poem at the ending part of the song. So when I once suddenly noticed that part (while listening to it with a lower volume), I was like :blink:.

The summer sun, it blows my mind
Is falling down on all that I've ever known
Time will kiss the world goodbye
Falling down on all that I've ever known
Is all that I've ever known

A dying scream makes no sound
Calling out to all that I've ever known
Here am I, lost and found
Calling out to all

We live a dying dream
If you know what I mean
All that I've ever known
It's all that I've ever known

Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly
I cried the rain that fills the ocean wide
I tried to talk with God to no avail
Calling Him in and out of nowhere
Said if You won't save me, please don't waste my time

All that I've ever known
All that I've ever known
It's all that I've ever known

Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly
I cried the rain that fills the ocean wide
I tried to talk with God to no avail
Calling my name and out of nowhere
Said if You won't save me, please don't waste my time

The summer sun, it blows my mind
It's falling down on all that I've ever known
Time will kiss the world goodbye
Falling down on all that I've ever known
Is all that I've ever known

Falling Down by Oasis.
