You guys are fags.

This is the pinnacle of lyrical grandeur:

(Visceral Bleeding - Indulge In Self-Mutilation)

Exposing frenzy of self hatred sickened by, pure disgust, My raging inner haunting me, torment, The voices speaking clearly, chanting, telling me to end this life, Disfigure this abomination, Mutilate, deform this shell of Abstract, Repulsive living

Inspect the tool of choice for mayhem eyeing up and down the razor blade?

Lift my hand to use the blade to spoil this face, vandalize, Rip and cut and mutilate
I will damage leave no trace, of this hideous appearance

Feel the razor, the cold steel on my skin, close my eyes, start to smile, it?ll son be gone
Staggering the hate?s evolving, transform, Into scorn, despise

Feel it coming now, All the bottled up hate, This will soon be done, Release my hate?

Let the razor taste my body, Go deep, Blade descending through the tissue, Scratch bone, Blood is poring out

Pierce my skin, Hacking stabbing, slice my face up, Furious rampage, Slice my tongue, Cut my lips of, Indulging in self mutilation

Feeling dizzy now, From the massive blood loss, This will soon be done, My hate released?

Razor has tasted my body, Gone deep, Blade now has descent, Scratched bone, Blood has been poured out

On my chin the bone is totally exposed now, colored red, Time to separate the nose, Now the blood is pissing out

The blade is separating tissue from my face, On my command, My appearance, finally complete.

If it's a joke, fine.
If you're serious and really believe this kind of lyrics is lyrical grandeur, you need to grow up.
If it's a way to look though (as your first pointless and irrelevant sentence seems to hint) , lets say it fails to impress me, as it only shows lack of maturity.

There are much worse lyrics than that but there's nothing great either in them.

And listening to extreme music or not has nothing to do with people being 'fags' or not.

I'm not going to post the lyrics here, but Anthrax's "Startin' Up a Posse" is the best anti-censorship song ever, and credit must be given to Cannibal Corpse for just being disgusting. Some of my classmates discovered the liner notes to "Tomb of the Mutliated" in my backpack, and after about five minutes of reading the lyrics they decided that I'm crazy.

The same thing happened to me some 2 years ago but with Bathory lyrics written on cover of my notebook ....
But who gives a fuck! If I'm crazy then they are just ignorant ...

Rule 1: Never take anything seriously.

I was just goofing around.

OK. As I said, if it's a joke, fine.
I didn't think you were serious but, as far as I know, you like Death Metal a lot, so I thought perhaps my comment offended you.

Well, you're all out of pancake mix.

Fixed.

Well, one line that really stuck out for me was from "Mushroom Cult" originally by Dog Fashion Disco, but the version i first heard had Serj Tankian singing with them. Right before the chorus:
"I must live in Limbo, cause Purgatory's always felt just like home!" just connected with me for some reason.

I think "Bleak" by Opeth is best lyric that i ever heard

Anathema - lost control
anathema - anyone anyhere
anathema - forgotten hopes
bush - letting the cables sleep
immortal - years of silent sorrow
draconian - the cry of silence

EMPEROR - With Strenght I Burn

Favorite part right here:

For once I wish to see
The entity behind the voice
The face of this seduction
The beauty of my pain

Am I blessed or am I cursed by the presence...
What is my crime...
What is my deed...
Is this life my redemption
Shall I repent or proceed

I hate my flesh
It's dimension poisoned my soul with doubt
It made me question the essence of...
The -I-

Slaves are those of this world
Given freedom to lay chains upon The Master
The wolf is no longer free
Release the chains and come for me

Upon these seas
Wherein I drowned so many times
I scatter the ashes of dignity
Still my flames are in hunger

With fire in my heart
Shall I greet the shores ahead
Though, I know not what will burn

Pretty much anything Erik Ravn writes, more specifically every song on Wuthering Heights' The Shadow Cabinet. However, favorites are Demon Desire, Beautifool, Faith - Apathy Divine Pt. 1, and Envy.

"The preachers of perfection, tell us to be like you (before it's too late)
But they can't see the light within us, through their designer shades"

Brilliant. Of course, it helps that Nils Patrick Johansson is an incredible vocalist who brings any words he sings to life.

Carcass has some great lyrics:

Regurgitated giblets
Blocked in your oesophagus
Eaten by the maggots
Trapped in your sarcophagus

HAHAHA!

If I ran away tomorrow
Would my troubles stay behind?
If I said goodbye to sorrow
Would I find the strength to smile?

I have always thought of leaving
Never to come back
Never to face it
Never to fail again
The way I do

But when times where right I couldn't
Cause baby I don't know what it is I'm running from

Will you walk with me for miles?
And hold me like a child
Will you listen to the words I cannot speak?
When I break down and I cry
And there is nothing left but die
Will you lead me from this darkness to the light?

If I told you I was drowning
And in my faith I've given up
If I told you I was leaving
Not to hurt you anymore

Did you know that I had fallen?
Broken in pieces from the reasons
I never knew and could not find
There is nothing left to fight for
All my hopes and dreams have run out long ago

Will you walk with me for miles?
And hold me like a child
Will you listen to the words I cannot speak?
When I break down and I cry
And there is nothing left but die
Will you lead me from this darkness to the light?

I've posted again here about 1-2 years ago i think, but i've seen that kreator lyrics is being discussed a lot so i wanted to post their "best" IMO lyrics. they've wrote these words back in 1990 but who the fuck doesn't feel like they're completely diachronic?

Material World Paranoia

Dehumanization through industrialization, Bring fear to the masses of reincarnation
Manic frustration deterioration, Nature fights back for its own preservation

Concrete coffin breeds lunacy, Cold steel skeleton
Desperation in the factory, Crank out oblivion

Material world paranoia, Corporations rule the earth
Material world paranoia, Enslavery begins at birth

Power's illusion brings global confusion, A forgone conclusion of mind's evolution
Nature's destruction through massive production, A blatant example of mindless construction

Concrete coffin breeds lunacy, Cold steel skeleton
Desperation in the factory, Crank out oblivion
Material world paranoia

Don't dream about how life can be, Experience your dreams
Before this prefab culture wastes your life, Stay on the straight and narrow course
Material wealth is yours, But the promise of a better future is a lie

The promise of a better future is nothing but a lie



some other awesome lyrics are the next from Nile (great to create atmosphere and awesome idea -not thought provoking though)

Sarcophagus

Who Dares Disturb, My Blissful Sleep
Again in Anger, Must I Rise
How Long Unknown, I Lay Entombed

My World, So Long Forgotten
Did Disown Me, Usurper
I was Scorned

Ah, The Suffering They did Inflict

Stained With Cosmic Black Sins
The Sun No Longer Sets Me Free

Volbeat - Still Counting:

Counting all the assholes in the room
Well I´m definitely not alone, well I´m not alone
You´re a liar, you´re a cheater, you´re fool
Well that´s just like me yoohoo and I know you too
Mr. Perfect don´t exist my little friend
And I tell you it again, and I do it again
Counting all the assholes in the room, Well I´m
definitely not alone, well I´m not alone

Look deep into yourself before you blame all others
for betrayal, for betrayal
I promise, so easy to say, and easy you failed,
and you do it again

Well the music seems to cover
And all the liquid do the colours
Well I turn my back and
go for all the better things in order

Well maybe you think your lie is safe
But I read you like a letter, yeah like a letter
Your charm do not evens the pain
it feeds me with rage, and you do it again

Well the music seems to cover
And all the liquid do the colours
Well I turn my back and
go for all the better things in order

Well the music seems to cover
And all the liquid do the colours
Well I turn my back and
go for all the better things in order

And a gangster keeps on telling
That he got a song that matters
So I flip a coin towards him
Thank you very much for listening

Humanity's a failed experiment
walking the path to extinction
spinning its wheels endlessly
grease them with oil
and uranium

Humanitiy's a failed experiment
walking the path to extinction

The earth will shake and the waters will rise
the elements reclaim what was taken
what was taken

The skyline is set ablaze
with regret
ashes cover a falling
silhouette
The city will reap what it's sewn
and ignite
watching as the city burns
(tonight)

Blindly consuming mass manufactured faith
mankind is a festering parasite

Blindly consuming mass manufactured faith
mankind is a festering parasite
relentlessly draining its host dry
nailing belief to a cross of genocide

The elements reclaim what was taken
what was taken

The skyline is set ablaze
with regret
ashes cover a falling
silhouette
The city will reap what its sewn
and ignite
watching as the city burns
Tonight

Only after the last tree's cut
and the last river poisoned
only after the last fish is caught
will you find that money cannot be eaten

When everything becomes irrelevant
When the sky tears open
fire rains down, fire rains down
the 4th world comes to an end
push the button, light the match
feel the fault lines detach
crosshairs in the evening light
I sit and watch the city burn
Tonight

The city burns tonight

Lamb of God - reclamation

This is actually an apocalyptic song, but also talks about things which are really happening in the world

Lyrics to Clutch's "Spleen Merchant":

"When I die you can cut me up and take all that you please,
But pity the poor dumb fool who gets my bleeding spleen.
Corn pone, I born tomorrow, my bone marrow protein filled
Scotch whiskey Men of Tain have come to split your skills.

Hey, hey
I got your heaven, I got your burning hell, I got it all right here.

Wrap them tight in zip-lock bags to benefit good medicines.
If bad, you can toss them back and stuff them in sausages.
Isn't it something so becoming, a gentlemen of good taste.
The appetizer's quite the pleaser, but might you pass the pepper please this way.

Hey, hey
I got your heaven, I got your burning hell, I got it all right here.

Fertilizer makes your corn row higher, but makes your back yard stink.
And all the crows know where the wind blows, where water sinks.

Hey, hey
I got your heaven, I got your burning hell, I got it all right here."

SLUTS OF HELL
CUNTS OF EVIL
SLUTS OF HELL
SLAVES OF SATANNNNNN


lol, I love Nattefrost and Carpathian forest. His lyrics are always hilarious. It's really a joke to him and you can tell he has fun. The difference between this and other shockrock is that these guys truly don't give a shit. Whereas a lot of bands want publicity at all costs, CF and NF say "fuck you all" and mean it.

The only way to learn
Is be aware and hold on tight

From Death's song "Symbolic" I like the whole song but figured people know it

Quo Vadis - Silence Calls The Storm
I love this one...

Unbalance starts to rise within the population, revolution begins
A hunger for power is launched, their dreams: becoming the leader of the
alliance
A hidden disturbance is felt throughout the community, its force augments
The stakes are increasing, tension is high, a clash of the titans
begins to shed reality on the realm

Guidance ignored, they strive to acheive thier goals

Opponents will grow
they will plan a future
Disregarding lives
to focus on their desires
The end of a race begins

Allies will assist
honour is revealed
Some will return
others will rest in war
A new world defined in tears

A new world defined in tears

Trying to acheive order in the senate: seeking the moles
Members are few who do provide separately, aiming to conquer vengeance of man
Rebels increase their offense, they wear their masks to climb the ranks
their plans rehearsed, the walk alone soldiers see the paths intent
They disagree but voiceless words are heard

Guidance ignored, the wisdom is overlooked

Opponents will grow
they will plan a future
Disregarding lives
to focus on their desires
The end of a race begins

Allies will assist
honour is revealed
Some will return
others will rest in war
A new world defined in tears

A new world defined in tears

Undercover violence with worshipping power
unrestricted support for loyalty at large

Answers are few, questions open ended
conflict nearby, the pressure is rising
Violence closing in on the inhabitants
Silence Calls The Storm

Katatonia's Criminals has very nice lyrics.

Sepultura's Refuse/Resist:

Chaos A.D.
Tanks on the streets
Confronting police
Bleeding the Plebs
Raging crowd
Burning cars
Bloodshed starts
Who'll be alive?!

Chaos A.D.
Army in siege
Total alarm
I'm sick of this
Inside the state
War is created
No man's land
What is this shit?!

Refuse/Resist
Refuse

Chaos A.D.
Disorder unleashed
Starting to burn
Starting to lynch
Silence means death
Stand on your feet
Inner fear
Your worst enemy

Refuse/Resist
Refuse/Resist

I forgot to say king crimson - Epitaph

Soul Society by Kamelot


If my soul could revive
from my carnal remains
what does it matter to me
If it all fades to black
If I'm born once again
then no-one really is free
How could I be condemned
for the things that I've done
If my intentions were good
I guess I'll never know
Some things under the sun
Can never be understood

How can we believe in heaven
Human reason counters all
Ideas of a soul society
my life is just a fragment
Of this universe and all
there must be more than I can see

In the dark we're the same
In the concept of time
We're like a grain in the sand
And we strive for the flame
As if death was our aim
'Cause we cannot understand

How I wish there was heaven
All for one and one for all
a flawless soul society
Our lives are just a fragment
Of the universe and all
there may be more than we can see

How could I be condemned
for the things that I've done
If my intentions were good
I guess I'll never know
Some things under the sun
Can never be understood

How can we believe in heaven
All for one and one for all
Ideas of a soul society
my life is just a fragment
Of this universe and all
there may be more than we can see

The bands with best lyrics are in my opinion Rush, Gwar and King Diamond, three very different bands with very different lyrics!

By the time you read this, I will already be dead
Do not reply to this, it is only to be read
By the time you read this, I will already be dead
Do not reply to this, but notify my next of kin


WOOD OF YPRES FTW!
