From Mozart's Requiem

Hey yo, is that the violin thing in that Evanescence song?

(now I wanna watch Amadeus again)

@csl316: Lacrymosa? Based on that one section of the song, I think. Here is the Mozart song -

Mozart is one of my favorite composers.

	grant them eternal rest forever.

Eh, points off for redundancy, Mozart.

Cool to see the lyrics written out. Doesn't seem too creative, though. I mean, musically top notch, but lyrically it's just a collection of common prayers.

Will you explain why you think the lyrics are the best?

It just looks like religious mumbo jumbo to me.

It's no Shikari, then again I'm probably just a philistine.

Because they work beautifully together, especially when sung. I like the way it sounds when read aloud as well. sounds like you let your personal biases influence your reaction, but whatever. It also tells story.

@Kierkegaard: It looked to me like it told a story.

I like the music, the lyrics not so much.

Death and Resurrection of a Northern Son is the best lyrics I've read

Here I am : enemies : come and taste the steel of my sword

the earth was still young and the land all new when it was forged

ore of the mountain towering towards endless sky

the runes down its blade the last thing you will see before you die

In the spring we sailed from Asa Bay with wind and tide

twenty-nine in all we were : bloodbrothers side by side

down foreign coasts : across the ocean : wind would fill our sail

high adventures : better to fall by the sword than to die from age or ail

The emperor I served in Miklagard : grand guard was I

me and my brothers in gold were paid : on my sword I did rely

returning to Nordland by horse : ambushed were we

and so here I am : come enemies : cornered with my back to the sea

The ground beneath our feet all red awash with human blood

severed limbs and bodies dead : prepare to meet thy God

shoulder by shoulder : knee by knee : bloodbrothers by my side

forgive me mother for missing the unseen blow that cut me down from behind

All still : no more pain : the wind whispering my name

this wound my last : the darkness around me seems vast

Then a bright light I see : the clouds swirl and part before me

in the distance a woman approaching : with a gesture she invites me to proceed

Then a bronze horn I hear : it calls me : and the bridge seems to stretch for a lifetime

way before me a palace is rising : out of the mist : like a mountain it stands

And it greets me with gates open wide : all around me bloodbrothers by my side

and they show me the seat that bears my name : my place at the table of Oden I do claim

@Kierkegaard: It looked to me like it told a story.

The story of a Christian praising God and Christ and fearing Hell? I mean, yeah, it's a story. But it's nothing special. Hell, DMX is down with Jesus and I think this song of temptation and strife is far more interesting lyrically:

Damien (parentheses are the devil)

UH

DefJam

Uh

RuffRyders

(The Snake the rat, the cat, the dog,

how you gon' see them if you living in the fog)

My nigga TP creep with me

(The Snake the rat, the cat, the dog,

how you gon' see them if you living in the fog)

[Verse 1: DMX]

Why is it every move I make turn out to be a bad one

Where's my guardian angel

need one, wish I had one

(I'm right here shorty and I'm gonna hold you down

and tryin' to fuck all these bitches I'm gonna show you how)

But who?

(My name D like you but my friends call me Damien

and I'm gonna put you into somethin' about this game we in

You and me could take it there

and you'll be the hottest nigga ever livin')

That's a givin'

(You'll see)

Hmmm that's what I've been wantin' all my life

Thinkin' 'bout my little man so I call my wife

Well your dada is about to make it happen

What you mean my nigga?

I'm about to make it rappin'

Today I met this cat

He said his name was Damien

He thinks that we're a lot alike and wants to be my friend

(You mean like Chuckie?)

HaHa yeah just like Chuckie

(Dada looks like w both lucky)

[Yeah]

[Hook:]

The Snake, the rat, the cat, the dog

How you gon' see them if you livin in the fog [4x]

[Verse 2:]

(Hey yo D)

What up D

(You a smooth nigga, I seen you

but nobody knew who pulled the trigger)

Yeah, you know it's always over doe

(You sure, I could've sworn it was over a hoe)

Na, na that ain't my style

(May you stay frontin' but you still my man

and I ain't goin' say nothin', got yo weed go 'head smoke it,

go 'head drink it, go 'head 'n fuck shorty

you know I can keep a secret

I'm about to have you drivin'

probably a Benz, but we gotta stay friends

Blood out, blood in)

Sounds good to me, fuck it, what I got to lose

Hmm nothin' I can think of, ANY NIGGA WOULD CHOOSE

Got me pushin' the whips, takin' trips across seas

Pockets stay laced, nigga I push G's

For that nigga I would bleed, give him my right hand

Now that I think about it yo, that's my man

[Hook]

[Verse 3:]

(You like how everything is goin'

You like what I did

You know if you was goin' down

I'd be the one to save you

But yo I need a favor, these cat's across town hate me

Plus their behavior hasn't been too good lately)

What!? Anything for you dog

Where them niggas at

(38th and Broadway)

Let me get the Gat

Run up on 'em strapped

Bust off caps on four niggas

Laid low for 'bout a month and killed two more niggas

Now I'm ready to chill but you still want me to kill

(Look at what I did for you dog, come on, keep it real)

Aight, fuck it, I'm gonna do it, who is it this time

(Hey yo remember that kid Sean you used to be with in 89)

Naw, that's my man

(I thought I was your man)

But yo, that's my nigga

(Hey who's your biggest fan, either do it or give me your right hand

That's what you said)

I see now, ain't nothin' but trouble ahead

[Hook]

In the fog, the fog

livin' in the fog

How you gon' see 'em if you livin' in the fog

How you gon' see 'em if you livin' in the fog

The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog

To be continued motherfuckers

Haaaaaahahaha

I personally think that The Dear Hunter has some of the best lyrics when it comes to modern bands. This is from the song Red Hands.

Even if you'd never strayed from me,

I'd question your fidelity.

There'd always be a shroud of suspicion

And my heart's a liability

With your hands maroon, so freshly red,

You'd wrap your lips around my neck.

Try and force to love the thought of me.

Simple motions make me ill.

Was it bitter when you tossed and turned

On his undercover mattress?

Did it feel so good? Hope it felt so good.

Don't know what I'd do if you lost sleep over little old me.

He's so much better.

They're all much better.

Take off your sweater, your shoes, and your shirt and get to work.

Maybe this is just a work of art.

Scripted players in a play of lust.

Hope the end is well worth waiting for

Everything you wished there'd be

Was it bitter when you tossed and turned

On his undercover mattress?

Did it feel so good? Hope it felt so good.

Don't know what I'd do if you lost sleep over little old me.

He's so much better.

They're all much better.

Take off your sweater, your shoes, and your shirt and get to work.

Oh my god, what have I done?

Now my darling, put your clothes back on.

Oh my god, what have I done?

Now my darling, put your clothes back on.

Cause you can't be caught red-handed if you're not red-handed.

My darling, I would never say those words to you,

I was pulling out my heart so I could pin it to my sleeve

On display for you to see, I'm on display.

Because you can't be caught red-handed if you're not red-handed.

My darling, I would never say those words to you.

I was pulling out my heart so I could pin it to my sleeve

On display for you to see, I'm on display.

Oh my god, what have I done?

Now my darling, put your clothes back on.

Oh my god, what have I done?

Now my darling, put your clothes back on.

Now my darling, put your clothes back on.

(Cause you can't be caught red-handed)

Oh my god, what have I done?

(If you're not red-handed)

Now my darling, put your clothes back on

(I would never say those words to you)

Oh my god, what have I done?

(I was pulling out my heart so I could pin it to my sleeve)

Now my darling put your clothes back on.

(On display for you to see, I'm on display)

Oh my god, what have I done?

Now my darling put your clothes back on

@Gargantuan: Those are pretty cool :D

@Kierkegaard: No.

@Still_I_Cry: I don't deny it sounds good but if you replaced the lyrics with people singing notes it would sound just as good to me. The lyrics themselves are pretty boring.

I've always preferred Vivaldi. Unfortunately Mozart peaked at the ripe old age of, like, 17. Still one of the most important and wonderful musicians in history. Even from my perspective as an Atheist, his contributions are innumerable.

Oh, Death, оh Death, oh Death,

Won't you spare me over til another year

But what is this, that I cant see

with ice cold hands taking hold of me

When God is gone and the Devil takes hold,

who will have mercy on your soul

Oh, Death, оh Death, oh Death,

No wealth, no ruin, no silver, no gold

Nothing satisfies me but your soul

Oh, Death,

Well I am Death, none can excel,

I'll open the door to heaven or hell.

Oh, Death, оh Death,

my name is Death and the end is here...

Did you actually listen to the song? Sure it's not a religious song, but it's actually very interesting. The entire album tells an interesting story.

For me the best lyrics that I can think of off the top of my head are from Search Party by Enter Shikari.

It's very literal but the lyrics have a great flow to them, and it doesn't hurt that I have similar political views to them.

Only problem is that they say 6 thousand million rather then 7 but that's forgivable.

I know that we're going to repeat history,

Unless we sort this out.

I know that we've got to find something new,

Something new.

Now my crew is six thousand million strong,And we're not learning from.

A history of conflict and violence,

For ownership and the power to silence.

I know that we've got to find something new.

Whoa.

We're tracing all our steps,

We send out the search back search parties.

To negate the barriers,

That lock us down.

The Phenakistoscope is spinning,

Flashbacks to your beginnings,

The repetition that you felt you found.

Now my crew is six thousand million strong,

And we're not learning from.

A history of conflict and violence,

For ownership and the power to silence.

I know that we've got to find something new.

Whoa.

I know that we're going to repeat history,

Unless we sort this out.

I know that we've got to find something new,

Something new.

All hands on deck,

We've got to scrub these fuckers out.

All hands on deck!

I know that we've got to find something new.

Whoa.

I know that we're going to repeat history,

Unless we sort this out.

I know that we've got to find something new,

Something new

@Gargantuan:

Ugh. Quorthon's voice in all of his albums after Blood, Fire, Death is terrible. Those first four albums, though, are incredible.

@wewantsthering: I read the lyrics. I don't find only religious songs interesting, whatever gave you that idea?

@Still_I_Cry said:

@csl316: Lacrymosa? Based on that one section of the song, I think. Here is the Mozart song -

Thats Dies Irae, and its spelled Lacrimosa which is a fucking sweet song but Dies Irae's lyrics are awesome as well. Its a song telling of the acpocalypse. Genius absolute!

EDIT: Just listen to that youTube clip again its a mash of random Requiem songs. My bad I skipped to a portion rather than listen from start to finish. That said yeah Dies Irae is by far the best song on that album and one of the best songs featured for a beat em' up boss fight, Fatal fury 2!

i'm gonna get my bathing suit on

@wewantsthering: Saw The Dear Hunter live on accident. Pretty kick ass live show and cool dudes, even though I have zero interest in the story stuff.

And I was being stupid about Evanescence. I'm familiar with Mozart and love the way it fits with the scene below.

Umm... Amadeus spoilers:

^^ Yeah I thought I smelt sarcasm with the Evanescence call, even though I don't know the song you're talking about. I can see this thread dying now.

Scar Tissue By Red Hot Chili Peppers,

going to have 'With The Birds I Share This Lonely View' tattooed on me someday.

Scar tissue that I wish you saw

Sarcastic mister know it all

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'cause

With the birds I'll share

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view

Push me up against the wall

Young Kentucky girl in a push-up bra

Fallin' all over myself

To lick your heart and taste your health 'cause

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view...

Blood loss in a bathroom stall

Southern girl with a scarlet drawl

Wave good-bye to ma and pa 'cause

With the birds I'll share

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view

Soft spoken with a broken jaw

Step outside but not to brawl

Autumn's sweet we call it fall

I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl and

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view...

Reflecting ourselves in the blood of all the beings we slay

Misunderstand each other, out of control we remain

There is a mystery, we're facing a sight to behold

This is what we make of the world, we throw everything away

(...)

The way I see things is so simple

The fact I'm walking standing on this land

Exhausted is the realm of nature, friends are dying

The living creatures on our side

The way I see myself so confused so sophisticated

I have to stay away from me

But I still don't get the point

What's worth destroying all the worlds

Try not to get it anymore

The rest of their songs is up there, along with some Metallica and Pink Floyd tracks.

Hey, this is crazy and I just met you but here is my number call me mabey.

Most inspirational lyrics ever.

Beat these lyrics.
