Manowar lyrics are rediculos

Any band that chants their own name in a song is rediculos. In fact, I think that Liquid Tension Experiment has far better lyrics than Manowar.

good one:) even though metallica uses their own name in a song! and they are not rediculos

Well.. At least they don't chant it XD

I voted Horror, Sci-Fi and Fantasy. Mainly because of Sci-Fi, bands like Agent Steel and Voivod have my favorite lyrics, and I also like to write that kind of stuff myself.

even if I like more personal lyrics, and introspective/psyhological/sentimental like you said, I will vote satanist just for the fuck of it, cause more black metal bands should follow the religious satanic way and NOT the easy pagan way.

Voted for politics although i also love gore and "unhappy" lyrics...

I like almost all of them, but I love gore lyrics, in the vein of Kreator´s Pleasure To Kill for an instance. I don´t know why, but that kind of themes are my favorite. The only lyrics I don´t really like are Cannibal Corpse´s, they´re almost cartoonish

If I could vote for Norse+Introspective....:cool:

"day turn to night as i rise from my grave" could also be called cartoonish (thou i love it)! but "a man lies in the corner covered with blood, bloody wounds in his body praying for his god" is fucking great!

Political, anarchy, System of a Down, Rage Against the Machine type

Definitely sci-fi/fantasy/horror. Political lyrics are also good, and if "norse" refers to the mythology, than that's awesome too.

SOAD nor RATM are anarchist bands.

I vote foe "gore" but also i like the "Historical" and the "psyhological" ones

Ok, my favorite lyrics theme are: Ancient history, Middle eastern mythologies, Anti Politics, and Hatred, but since the "politics" option is the only one that listed here, so i voted for it.

Favourites: Satanism, Anti-Religion, War, Witchcraft, Stories (i.e. King Diamond's stories are awesome), History, Philosophy, Love (i.e. Whitesnake or Scorpions), Politics, Social Situations, Aliens, Conspiracy Theories (i.e. Gamma Ray's No World Order is a masterpiece), Mythology, etc...

I made a copy/paste from the other thread

I love psychological lyrics, too bad most of my favorite bands have gore lyrics.

Call to arms lyrics are fine. They make you feel...STRONG!

War/history or Horror/Scifi probably if I had to pick

My favorite lyrical themes are metal praising lyrics, such as

"We are as one as we all are the same
Fighting for one cause
Leather and metal are our uniform
Protecting what we are
Joining together to take on the world
With our heavy metal
Spreading the message to everyone here
Come let yourself go"

And


"Fists are in the air. banging everywhere
thrashing to the sound faces melting down
it s time to fight for metal tonight
bangers take your stand and obey
our metal command"

But since that's not an option, I'll go for historical, being a bit of a history nerd.

I really like this. Another example would be Exodus's Bonded By Blood:
Bang your head against the stage and METAL takes its' price
BONDED BY BLOOD!!

Usually I don't care much about lyrics... when it comes to Death Metal or some extreme sub-genres where you don't understand anything. But when you can actually hear someting, I love it when they actually got something intelligent to say. I don't mind agressive or gory lyrics but I think I prefer when they actually talk about everyday's problems, world misery, politics... when they take position on something. I think that music is another artistical way to express how you feel about today's world and ideologies. Thats my opinion. I think that the lyrics I hate the most are mostly in power metal, I like some of the bands in that genre but yeah usually the lyrics sucks and are way too cheesy.

Voted introspective, but really anything as long as they are smart and well-written

I agree on that, I mean you can talk about gutting whores and slaying children as long as its well-written and good to the ears

What about skateboarding and sex and stuff like that? Political stuff is probably my favorite though.

With Katatonia being my favorite band, I would definitely vote for "introspective/psyhological/sentimental" myself.

Introspective by far when it comes to lyrics .. don't we all have a little EMO inside of us
