"In my presence
You will make sure the fiction meets its fate
That death will grace your face my dear character
Through these lessons you have learned
All the worlds from here must burn
For as God demands that the end we miss"
- Willing Well III: Apollo II: The Telling Truth by Coheed and Cambria
and from later in the same song:
"Jesse, bad boy
Just come look at what your brother did,
To that girl?s precious little whore of a body"
C&C...Great band. Also, this part from The Crowing is pretty cool, especially the way Claudio sings it.
"I fought the decisions that called and lost.
My mark has the revelant piece in this.
I will come reformed.
In short, for the murders of those I court,
I bless the hour that holds your fall.
I will kill you all!!"
As for my absolute favorite lyric of all time, there's no question as to what song it belongs to, but...which part? Radiohead's Subterranean Homesick Alien is one of the most beautifully crafted songs ever.
(If someone could tell me how to put this in spoilers so it doesn't take up half the page, I'd appreciate it a TON)
"The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting
The smell of the warm summer air
I live in a town
Where you can't smell a thing
You watch your feet
For cracks in the pavement
Up above
Aliens hover
Making home movies
For the folks back home
Of all these weird creatures
Who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves
And live for their secrets
They're all uptight
I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane
Late at night when I'm driving
Take me on board their beautiful ship
Show me the world as I'd love to see it
I'd tell all my friends
But they'd never believe
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely
I'd show them the stars
And the meaning of life
They'd shut me away
But I'd be all right
All right..
I'm just uptight"
