Those songs are beautiful. Not as bad as Cannibal Corpse lyrics, though. I would post some of theirs, but that might get me banned.

Song title: Business As Usual
Band name: The Gone Jackals
Album title: Blue Pyramid
Genre: Psychedelic Rock
Wikipedia link for the band: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gone_Jackals
Lyrics:

Well, it is such a useless waste
Filing all those folks away
But it's business as usual, today.

See, they were tryin to get over
On a market that s been cornered
(carved by ol' joe kennedy, and his like).

It doesn t have to be this way,
The stigma s built to tilt the play.
It doesn t have to be that way.

Between Lorrilard and Escobar
The difference is who writes the laws
When genocide's a racket in itself.

There is no debt to be fulfilled
By making people criminals
And turning loose the damned instead.

The competition
Is made the villain.
This market s covered
By bad muthas.

It doesn t have to be this way.
I hope I m free to see the day
When business ain t so usual one day.

Lyrics:

Before we could talk we were singing
Before we could run we were dancing
Life is short but not a day is lost
The world goes round and round
And we go on and on

Beijing to Amsterdam
Berlin to Buenos Aires
Sydney to L.A.
Rio to Abidjan
Stockholm to Athena
Dublin to Guatemala
London to Brasilia
Madrid to Philadelphia

Paris to San Fransisco
Detroit to Warszawa
Moscow to Mexico
Oslo to New Delhi
Helsinki to New Orleans
Vienna to Ankara
Roma to Lisboa
On earth, we're all...

Dancing with a hidden tribe
Learning to move and fly
Touching the sky with our hands
Longing to love to understand
Dancing with a hidden tribe
Learning to move and fly
Touching the sky with our hands
Longing to love to understand

New York to Tokyo
Melbourne to Budapest
Prague to Jaipur
Shanghai to Montreal
Vancouver to Singapore
Sofia to Johannesburg
Hong Kong to St. Petersburg
On earth, we're all...

Dancing with a hidden tribe
Learning to move and fly
Touching the sky with our hands
Longing to love to understand
Dancing with a hidden tribe
Learning to move and fly
Touching the sky with our hands
Longing to love to understand

Oh boy, tough choices here. Saw this thread a few days ago but can't decide what to add, so let's go with an obvious one. Somebody already posted one by Nightwish, but here's another. Will try to pick from lesser known bands some other time.

Song title: Ghost Love Score (<-- link's for Floor's Buenos Aires version, tearing up and letting loose. For Tarja's on that last concert, see here if you want...)
Band name: ([url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightwish]Wikipedia, Metal Archives)
Album title: Once
Genre: Symphonic metal
Lyrics:

We used to swim the same moonlight waters
Oceans away from the wakeful day

- My fall will be for you -
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I will bleed forever

Scent of the sea before the waking of the world
Brings me to thee [Floor says "Brings me to tears"]
Into the blue memory

- My fall will be for you -
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I will bleed forever

Into the blue memory...

A siren from the deep came to me
Sang my name my longing
Still I write my songs about that dream of mine
Worth everything I may ever be

The Child will be born again
That siren carried him to me
First of them true loves
Singing on the shoulders of an angel
Without care for love 'n loss

Bring me home or leave me be
My love in the dark heart of the night
I have lost the path before me
The one behind will lead me

Take me
Cure me
Kill me
Bring me home
Every way
Every day
Just another loop in the hangman's noose

Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home
Every way, every day
I keep on watching us sleep

Relive the old sin of Adam and Eve
Of you and me
Forgive the adoring beast

Redeem me into childhood
Show me myself without the shell
Like the advent of May
I'll be there when you say
Time to never hold our love

- My fall will be for you -
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I will bleed forever

Well, here's a lesser known one too.

Song title: Wasteland
Band name: Atargatis (Metal Archives)
Album title: Wasteland
Genre: Gothic metal, or so they're listed...
Lyrics:

Dryness fell over the land of Man,
For they have turned the landscape by their wasting hand.
Dried up earth and only fruitless soil,
Every look you take shows they have lost control.

Only bare feet left that are wandering through red sand,
Only bare feet left, that walk on.

Wretched creatures in former times called Man
Try to hide their knotty limbs from the burning sun.
They are naked, their skin is like parchment,
Still wandering to discover fertile land.

Only bare feet left that are wandering through red sand,
Only bare feet left, that walk on.

"Tell us the way out of this odyssey.
Fill the oasis for you are the water's heir!
Forgive the destruction for our fathers 've failed.
Don't turn our quest into an infinite, wrong way!"

No one's left to continue mankind's trace,
That marked the land so unpardonably,
The seekers lose the last human domain,
Evolution will wipe out their pace!

Only bare feet left that are wandering through red sand
Only bare feet left, that walk on.

"Tell us the way out of this odyssey.
Fill the oasis for you are the water's heir!
Forgive the destruction for our fathers 've failed.
Don't turn our quest into an infinite, wrong way!"

I can't hear you anymore, my patience's lost.
You are the sons of hate, for your fathers failed.

Be at least as wise to give up and let
Nature heal itself without your destructiveness!

Song title: Nobody Hears
Band name: Suicidal Tendencies
Album title: The Art of Rebellion
Genre: Trash Metal;Crossover;Hardcore Punk
Wikipedia link for the band:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicidal_Tendencies

Lyrics:

Nobody Hears

I talk through my eyes, the words pourin' down
Nobody hears
You ask me what's wrong, but what can I say?
Nobody hears

I try to tell you, I try to show you
How else can I tell you, how else can I show you?

I'm screaming inside, why can't you hear?
Nobody hears
You're looking right though me like I'm not here
Nobody hears

Chorus:
When the last tear falls down
Nothing gets washed away
Another plea put to rest
As nobody hears, nobody hears

So what did I do to you
That makes you run from me?
Now I'm sitting here screaming inside myself
Don't understand why nobody hears

You figured it out, shaped it to your prefection
Nobody hears
Subtracted my feelings from the equation
Nobody hears

Is it all in my mind
Then it would be easy to find

Chorus

So what did I do to you
That makes you run from me?
Now I'm sitting here screaming inside myself
Don't understand why nobody hears

So if it's all, if it's all in my mind
Then wouldn't it, wouldn't it
Wouldn't it be so easy to find

Chorus

So what do I have to do
To make you comfort me?
Now I'm sitting here screaming inside myself
Don't understand why nobody hears

So I'm sitting here screaming inside myself
Well I'm sitting here crying inside myself
So I'm sitting here screaming to nobody else
Don't understand why nobody hears
And nobody nears, nobody hears, nobody hears

lacunal coil
swamped from comalies

When you're taught through feelings

Destiny flying high above
all I know is that you can realize it

Destiny who cares
as it turns around
and I know that it descends down on me

It's just another day
the shame is gone
hard to believe
that I've let it go

Destiny can't replace my life
Scary shadows of my past
are alive

Destiny who cares
as it turns around
and I know that it descends
with a smile

It's just another day
the shame is gone
it's hard to believe
that I've let it go away

It's just a melody
it bleeds in me
hard to believe
that I've let it go

and the end theme of vampire bloodlines

How will I laugh tomorrow
Suicidal Tendencies
How will I laugh tomorrow
Thrash
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicidal_Tendencies_discography

Here I sit and watch my world come crumbling down
I cry for help but no one's around
Silently screaming as I bang my head against the wall
It seems like no one cares at all

Always an emotion, but how can I explain; how can I explain?
Kind of like the scent of a rose, with words I can't explain, the same with my pain
Caught up in emotion, goes over my head; goes over my head!
Sometimes I got to think to myself is this life or death, am I living or am I dead

The clock keeps ticking, but nothing else seems to change
Problems never solved, just rearranged
And when I think about all the times that I've had
Some were good most were bad

I search for personality and I look for things I cannot see
Love and peace flash through my mind; pain and hate is all I find
Find no hope in nothing new and I never had a dream come true
Lies and hate and agony; through my eyes that's all I see

If I'm gonna cry, will you wipe away my tears?
And if I'm gonna die, Lord please take away my fear
Before I drown in sorrow, I just want to say;
How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today

Today today; when I can't even smile today
Today today; when I can't even smile today
How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today
How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today

You think it's so funny...
...laugh at this!

So when I look outside my room
I see the world, but not the reason
What is done to me is not fair
You call it fair I call it treason
But I don't know what to do
Give me a sign I'll take whatever
But if you want me here I am
Ain't gonna die forever

And I tried to hold ya
But you just turned away
And I tried to tell ya
But not a word I say
I cried out so loudly
But you just covered your ears
And gave me all the signs
That you don't want my tears

So if you want me here I am
I sit and wait your decision
But my body fights my mind
I headed straight for a collision
So am I getting near or am I still
Looking in all the wrong places
But the only thing that seems to change
Are the looks on the faces...

Doesn't anyone...seems like no one cares at all
I search for personality and look for things I cannot see
Does anyone even care at all?
Love and peace flash through my mind; pain and hate is all I find
Seems like no one cares at all
Find no hope in nothing new and I never had a dream come true
Does anyone even care at all?
Lies and hate and agony; through my eyes that's all I see
Seems like no one cares at all

How will I laugh tomorrow?
How will I laugh tomorrow?
How will I laugh tomorrow?
How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today

Today today; when I can't even smile today
Today today; when I can't even smile today
How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today
How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today...

Song title: For Whom The Bell Tolls
Band name: Metallica
Album title: Ride the Lightning
Genre: Thrash / Heavy Metal

Lyrics:

Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On they fight, for the right, yes but who's to say?
For a hill men would kill why? They do not know
Stiffened wounds test their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from this pain that they surely know

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

Take a look to the sky just before you die
It is the last time you will
Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they will see what will be, blinded eyes to see

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

Lyrics:

Shallow

Give me something to break before I break myself
Or take me somewhere, anywhere is fine - just fine

"Fine, just fine"
Words as these, may they come true by repetition?
Monotony, my constant woe, ally and foe
We're doing this silly dance together
tip, tip, tip on toe

Tripping, once again
I cannot help but to smile
But trust me, it is in frustration
Would you really believe things just as much?

No matter what, I end up with this mindnumbing feeling
The shallow smile is gone but there is this unjustified joy
But in the end all of that doesn't really matter
I just end up shivering by this echo within:

Is it cold in here, or is it just me?

Spiken I Kistan


Dränk mig med dina sentimentala klyschor
Sätt mig på ett flyg och krascha det i norra ishavet
Jag orkar inte höra mer, göra mer, finnas mer
Sätt mig i en risig roddbåt utan åror, låt vågorna
Och kölden riva mig, rasera mig, sänka mig

Placera mig naken på en bakgata i december
Jag söker bråk för att bli misshandlad
Provocerar för att bli dödad, stympad, förintad
Inget händer, kommer ingen vart, allt är kört
Haha, allt är skit, och du tycker att det är så coolt

Den människa jag en gång var är borta
Jag bränner alla minnen, spolar ned askan i toan
Nej, förlåt, lät jag sentimental nu?
Din hjärndöda åsikt betyder dock noll

Det finns inget häftigt att finna i detta tillstånd Jag är en paranoid, skadad
Och patetisk människa
Du är å andra sidan minst lika patetisk
Men snälla rara, glöm mig, jag är historia


[English translation:]

The Nail In The Coffin

Drown yourself in your sentimental clichés
Put me on a plane and crash it into the northern ice sea
I don’t have the will to hear it anymore, to do anymore, to exist anymore
Put me in a rickety boat without any oars, and let the waves
And the coldness tear me, ruin me, sink me

Place me naked on a back street in December
I look for fights just to get injured
I provoke, just to get killed, dismembered, annihilated
Nothing happens, I get nowhere, all is lost
Haha, everything is shit, and you think it’s so cool

The man I once was is gone
I burn all my memories, and flush the ashes down the toilet
Oh, I’m sorry, did I sound sentimental?
Your brain-dead opinion means nothing

There is nothing cool to find in this state of mind. I am a paranoid, deranged
And pathetic human being
But on the other hand, you’re just as pathetic
But please, forget about me, I’m history
