Lyrical Genius?

[Matt-Sama]

Right, here post lyrics from songs you think are just awesome and pure writing and lyrical genius. Read other lyrics and discuss, are the lyrics awesome and the music sounds crappy? Are the lyrics crappy but the music sounds awesome. You're thoughts.

Heres my first. Its called Vengeance, by Yngwie Malmsteen. The lyrics are awesome and the song itself is far better

Take what you want, you'll get what you need
Isn't that all that we're teaching
Slowly but surely we're planting the seed
Hey listen, there's no use in preaching

All these years you've turned away
Nothing left to say

Vengeance
You haven't a clue
Vengeance
It's inside of you

All of the sinners, they're playing their game
Only the good people listen
Over and over it's always the same
Committing the crime, and yet no one's to blame

All these years you've turned away
Nothing left to say

Vengeance
You haven't a clue
Vengeance
It's inside of you

Is there a reason we're losing the fight
Stuck in this hell that we're living
Over and over it's always the same
Passing the sentence, yet no one's to blame

All these years you've turned away
Nothing left to say

Vengeance
You haven't a clue
Vengeance
It's inside of you

I persenally enjoy many Foreign music types, mainly japanese.

Here's one of my favorite's: TONIGHT, TONIGHT, TONIGHT (2006) (the fourth opening for the Bleach anime)

Woke up with yawn, it's dawn and I'm still alive
Turned on my radio to start a new day
Let's get them DJs chatting, hard to survive
amazing news got over on the airwaves

TONIGHT love is racing
TONIGHT constellation
TONIGHT love is racing my way
Almost another day

She's a shooting star, good night, good night
she's a shooting star, good bye

TONIGHT love is racing
TONIGHT constellation
TONIGHT love is racing my way
Almost another day
See you some other day

Seems a bit short, probably played like over, is that full length or anime?

I love japanese music, it sounds great, but the lyrics are normally terrible. Especially theme show ones.

True, but they have such great tune's it sound's so much better than the crap regular musican output nowaday's.

If they can't the lyric's right, atleast make the tune's sound good. Plus it's kinda funny listening to such bad engrish.

[Matt-Sama]

Yeah, it also depends on the translation.

Probably, my fave lyrics. I think they're awesomely written and powerfull. From my current fave song.
Rust in peace....polaris. By Megadeth.

Tremble you weaklings,cower in fear
I am your ruler,land,sea and air
Immense in my girth,erect I stand tall
I am a nuclear murderer I am polaris
Ready to pounce at the touch of a button
My system locked in on military gluttons
I rule on land,air and sea
Pass judgement on humanity
Winds blow from the bowels of hell
Will we give warning,only time will tell
Satan rears his ugly head,to spit into the wind
I spread disease like a dog
Discharge my payload a mile high
Rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
Launch the polaris,the end doesnt scare us
When will this cease
The warheads will all rust in peace
Bomb shelters filled to the brim
Survival such a silly whim
World leaders sell missiles cheap
Your stomach turns,your flesh creeps

High priest of holocaust,fire from the sea
Nuclear winter spreading disease
The day of final conflict
All pay the price
The third world war
Rapes peace,takes life
Back to the start,talk of the part
When the earth was cold as ice
Total dismay as the sun passed away
And the days where black as night

Eradication of earths
Population loves polaris
