Great moments of METAL, the riddle-thread!

I dont wanna talk about the best bands ever, nor the best albums or best tracks. I am interested in the best parts lyric- or musicwise (or, most likely, combination of both) that left you breathless and speechless.

Just listened to ARAGON - THE CRUCIFIXION and it got me again at this part:

"And the line of crosses keeps getting longer
as our children trip the light fantastic
Bowing to their solitude benath the crimson crown
Take heed so all you goverments
Hide grace for one man lied
And stand below the corss to watch your nation crucified"



Edit: I just stumbled over this long forgotten thread, that died nearly unnoticed. I am still interested to hear your opinions so I pulled it outta the grave, so give it to me now, WHAT LINE / VERSE / CHORUS or whatever is mindblowing greatness and chills you to the bone??

Edit 2: Dont post the bandname with your lyrics, make it a Riddle of Steel

Here's some very indicative METAL lyrics:

"Life is a dream
And death a reality to me
Starfleet in flames
But never surrender

Dog fight to the end
Dive for the last time

Soar on solar winds
Rage on high
As fire on silent metal wings
Out where the meteors fly
You and I

Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky"

There are too many to be listed here. Some lyrics really send shivers down my spine...

Saviour Machine with "American Babylon":


The shattered pigs dying as primitive savages,
Eating their flesh, they will lie rotting in dirt,
While a stranger among you has challenged the course
Of human existence and alien forces.
The birth of the black prince is setting the stage
In its thriving dissension, exalting his rank,
And the innocent man will fall victim to hands in the
Trial of Truth
And its twisted reversal.
The union of factions bleeds shock to the system,
For civilization had ended today,
The transitional nature of acts and society climb in its
Place
While its face re-creates until your god is dead.
Enlighten me with your pale statues, face of inhibition,
And until your reign has ended, frighten me with your
Stale - taste - tongue of inquisition.



Best part on "II", simply awesome!!!

What about this hymn:

Ördög, Testvér, játsz még
A hideg ráz, ha zenédet hallgatom!

Pokolgep? Classica? Ossian?


"Come walk with me through
The vale of eternity,
For you must know ere you go
I go with thee ...
I go with thee."

part of Sabbat's "Mythistory" parallel with which my blood starts to run faster and I feel pretty exalted. Actually the track's initial oriental-sounding riffs full on pathos (but cool pathos) are made to get one high, too.

And can you blame me -
Is it such a crime,
To crave for one small piece
Of heaven that I can call mine?

sort of chorus that brims with subdued energy. feels like it will explode anytime soon. and lines fit well to the music. quite good use of tension and release in whole track.

It's where the song crushes back with vocal lines after the solo ...

deep inside you're selfish, and infected with desire
filled your head with dreams that died, just couldn't get no higher
look at what you've become, synthetic, morphite cyst
your luck's run out, the threat has snapped
a cold depressing end ...

Hell! I just realised I had that lyric somewhere in my mind - now realizing it's from POKOLGÉP "Pokoli Szinjatek", B-side somewhere and... *checking it up, listening*.. .it's from "'Éjféli Harang"! The intro riff in that song kills almost everything. Funny, I was just listening to "P.S." an hour before seeing this lyric quote... Hail old POKOLGEP!

Another HEAVY fucking METAL lyric I like:

"Straszny gad roszarpal mi twarsz
Z tetnicy trysnela krew
Wieli dziob ptaszyska jak kruk
Otwarty by pozrec mnie"

"Straszny gad roszarpal mi twarsz
Z tetnicy trysnela krew
Wieli dziob ptaszyska jak kruk
Otwarty by pozrec mnie"

Please help me out. I don't understand a word what those lyrics mean, but I now those lyrics. I've been breaking my head a while now too recollect from where I know these lyrics.

Fuck yes! The might Hoof always manage to raise the hairs on your neck. Dominator is a gem.

"See the lights flashing bright above
Electrify the night
Sweat dripping lords of the metal kind
Blow you out of siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

Never listen to a word we say
You're always breaking the rules
Eyes are open when you pray
Mocking the blinded fools, you fool"

"UP YOUR ASS! RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW...."

Neither do I really, but it sounds like it's the first song on "Kawaleria Szatana". Hehe

Yeah, I'm not sure ; it's been bugging me all night long. You could be right, but can't check it right now, because my neighbours don't like Turbo that much, especially at 5 in the morning.
