What are the lyrics to one of your favorite songs?

(On-Line Lyric Source)

ONE of my favorites:

Powerslave by Iron Maiden

Into the abyss I'll fall-the eye of Horus
Into the eyes of the night-watching me go
Green is the cat's eye that glows-in this temple
Enter the risen Osiris-risen again.

CHORUS:
Tell me why I had to be a powerslave
I don't wanna die, I'm a god, why can't I live on?
When the Life Giver dies, all around is laid waste.
And in my last hour,
I'm a slave to the power of death.

When I was living this lie-fear was my game
People would worship and fall-drop to their knees
So bring me the blood and red wine for the one to succeed me
For he is a man and a god-and he will die too.

 CHORUS

Now I am cold but a ghost lives in  my veins,
Silent the terror that reigned-marbled in stone
Shell of a man God preserved-a thousand ages
But open the gates of my hell-I will strike from the grave.

 CHORUS

I think Iron Maiden needs to be locked up in the loonybin and in a straight jacket. Or he needs to get cleaned off those drugs.

Upward Over the Mountain   by Iron And Wine
 
Mother don't worry, I killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed
Mother don't worry, I've got some money I saved for the weekend
Mother remember being so stern with that girl who was with me
Mother remember the blink of an eye when I breathed through your body

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds flying upwards over the mountain

Mother I made it up from the bruise on the floor of this prison
Mother I lost it all of the fear of the Lord I was given
Mother forget me now that the creek drank the cradle you sang to
Mother forgive me I sold your car for the shoes that I gave you

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons can be birds taken broken up to the mountain

Mother don't worry I've got a coat and some friends on the corner
Mother don't worry she's got a garden we're it planting together
Mother remember the night that the dog had her pups in the pantry
Blood on the floor and the fleas in their paws
And you cried 'til the morning

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds flying always over the mountain

Konstantine - Something Corporate:

I can't imagine all the people that you know
and the places that you go
When the lights are turned down low
and I don't understand all the things you've seen
but I'm slipping in between
You and your big dreams
It's always you
In my big dreams
And you tell me that its over
Wake up lying in a patch of four leaf clovers
And your restless
And I'm naked
You gotta get out
You cant stand to see me shakin'
No
Could you let me go?
I didn't think so
And you don't wanna be here in the future
So you say the presents just a pleasant interruption to the past
And you don't wanna look much closer
'Cause your afraid to find out all this hope
You had sent into the sky by now had
Crashed
And it did
Because of me

And then you bring me home
Afraid to find out that your alone oh
and I'm sleeping in your living room
But we don't have much room to live

And I had these dreams in them I learned to play guitar
Maybe cross the country
Become a rockstar
And there was hope in me that I could take you there
But damnit you're so young
Well I don't think I care
And if I hurt you
Then I'm sorry
Please don't think that this was easy

And then you bring me home
'Cause we both know what it's like to be alone oh
And I'm dreaming in your living room
But we don't have much room to live

And konstantine is walking down the stairs
Doesn't she look good
Standing in her underwear
And I was thinking
What I was thinkin
We've been drinkin' and it doesn't get me anywhere
My konstantine came walking down the stairs
And all that I could do was touch her long blond hair
And I've been thinkin'
But it hurts me thinking
That these nights when we were drinking
No they never got us anywhere
No

This is because I can spell confusion with a 'K'
And I can like it
It's to dying in another's arms
And why I had to try it
It's to Jimmy Eat World
And those nights in my car
When the first star you see
May not be a star
I'm not your star
Isn't that what you said
What you thought this song meant

And if this is what it takes
Just to lie with my mistakes
And live with what I did to you
All the hell I put you through
I always catch the clock
It's 11:11
Now you wanna talk
It's not hard to dream
You'll always be my konstantine
My konstantine
They'll never hurt you like I do
No they'll never hurt you like I do
No,no,no, no, no, no, no, no

This is to a girl
Who got into my head
With all the pretty things she did
Hey
Ya know
You keep me up in bed
This is to a girl
Who got into my head
With all these ****ed up things I did
Hey
Maybe
Baby you could keep me up in bed
My konstanine

You spin around me like a dream
We played out on this movie screen
And I said
Did you know I missed you(x7)
I miss you

And then you bring me home
And we go to sleep
But this time not alone
And I know
And you'll kiss me in your living room
I know
I know you miss me in your living room
'Cause these nights I think
Maybe that I miss you in my licing room
But we dont have much room
I said does anybody need that room
Because we all need a little more room
To live

My konstantine...
Now if ya like the help ya could always raise our reputation...

If you feel that is sad... see this:

Poetic Tragedy by " The Used "

The cup is not half empty as pessimists say
as far as he sees nothing's left in the cup
A whole cup full of nothing for him to indulge
since the voice of ambition has long since been shut up

A singer, a writer,
he's not dreaming now of going no where
he gave heed to nothing
and all that he was is just a tragedy

So he voyages in circles succeeds getting nowhere
and submits to the substance that first got him there, there, there, there

violent frustration
he cries out to God or just no one
is there a point to this madness
and all that he was is just a tragedy

He feels alone
His heart in his hand
He's alone
He feels like
I feel

Then on that last day he breaks
and he stood tall
then he yelled, then he yelled
(Why world? WHY WORLD?? Hate you! HATE YOU!!! BYE WORLD!!!!!!)

violent frustration
he cries out to God or just no one
is there a point to this madness
and all that he was is just a tragedy
I don't accept change; I don't deserve to live.
