Lyrics that kick your ass

[Eoin McLove]

"To depart is to return
To leave is to stay,  it is said
To decide is to hesitate
Next decade will wait for me"

But every line in The Departure by Skepticism is poetic perfection to my ear.  Which lines of lyrics elevate you?

[Abandon All Hope]

Grim was the fate of gaffer Bartolín When his old hag woman kicked the bucket one year even his hens have pegged out since they weren't taken care of He decided to drown his miseries in liquor No longer did he drudge in the vineyard after work But he was hand in glove with the innkeeper and knew all the cups by heart Round the nightfall he got pissed like an animal Forgot hils old Maruša in the fire-water The fellows in the tavern knew by then it is time to bring the wheelbarrow from the barnyard and load Bartolín back home As they passed the burial ground he had a vision of his spouse yelling from beyond the grave; Grubs crawling across her visage, only black holes for eyes: "Just you wait, sottish carrion, within a year you will lie down here with me!" Aghast in dread, the old gaffer has never again dared to get close to liquor.

Can't go far wrong with Malokarpatan

[Ducky]

"Humility take charge of me
Drown me in truth's modest waters,
Loosen your grip identity
Free me from an ego's falter"

Cynic - "How Could I?"

[Wiseblood]

Thomas Malthus Eugenics are alive and kicking
Nutrients and vitamins extract from edible goods
Legislate, sick populations, a higher rate of mortality
Food code, as it's known, Codex Alimentarius

Thin the herd, thin the herd
The great cull is coming down
The great cull is coming down

Develop virus market cure exploit the panic
Contaminate by guile and stealth, a quick strum of the harp
Depopulate, initiate pharmaceutical companies
All fall down, all fall down, Codex Alimentarius

Thin the herd, thin the herd
The great cull is coming down
The great cull is coming down

Most of us must die
Most of us
Most of us must die
Most of us

Instigate wars in population density centers
Maintain population below five hundred million

Immunize, irradiate, deregulate all toxins
Monsanto feed, Monsanto seed, all the bees are dying
Depopulation in every nation, follow the food code
All fall down, all fall down, Codex Alimentarius

Thin the herd, thin the herd
Thin the herd, thin the herd
The great cull is coming down
The great cull is coming down

[warhead]

I hear the ticking on the clock, counting every day I've been alone
How long before you're comin' back
If I don't see your face I'll turn to stone
Can't keep holding on this way, can't go on another day
Can't you hear me when I say, girl I'm
Hungry for your love, girl I'm hungry, baby let me in
Hungry for your love, hungry, I can't get enough
Your love's the color of my heart
When I look in your eyes everything's so clear
So still together when we're apart
I begin to die unless you're here

Winger - Hungry

[Giggles]

"I have found some kind of temporary sanity in this
Shit blood and cum on my hand"

Tool - Prison Sex

[Bigmac]

"Do not mistake me for a star,
Though I'll shine like them at night,
But behold instead the darkness in between them,
The Devil's light."

Watain - Waters of Ain

[O Drighes]

"And there is despair underneath each and every action
Each and every attempt to pierce the armour of numbness
Burning bridges becomes a habit to support
And the front line expands like there's no tomorrow

...

There is something about the rigid posture of a proper, authentic blind
As if extended arms reached to pass his blindness onto others."

MGLA - Exercises in Futility I

(Last sentence was actually taken from one of Emil Cioran's aphorisms in "All Gall is Divided", almost a quote, I believe the sentence also explains the album cover)

[Cailleach]

I am the wind, I am the sea,
Every idle belief, every grief
And I am the desert sands, that moves like the Serpent
And I am the rivers flow and the arc of Orion's bow
And I am the howling scream, the nightmare and the waking dream
And I speak the hallowed and accursed word
I am life I am death, the ageless prayer unheard
I am the truth, I am lies, the dark and the light
The twisting of winged serpents, and of madness
The Holy one and the betrayer, the birth and murder of love
And I am the paradox, all that you perceive, everthing all at once
And they call him Abraxas, to see him means blindness, to worship him is death
To know him brings sickness, to fear him wisdom,
Not to resist brings liberation
And call as you might I shall not listen
For I am nothing, I am all I am Indifferent

[Eoin McLove]

Hodie mihi cras tibi
From below and impossible plea
All you living enjoy life
Memento mori... memento mori

Their short summer has gone by
Winter's snow saw them all fall
Dance within despair's all season
We exist for no reason

[locustfurnace]

[DeletedUsermNqGIiIuGy]

You are so vicious
Hurt me, I can take it
Cause it's all in the heat of the moment,
It's all in the pain
