Most memroable lyrics line.

Its not so much a line but most of the time a set of lyrics like below

My frail, virgin mind
Watched the crimson sunrise:  from Change of Seasons

and

Sailing on the seven seize the day tripper Diem's ready
Jack the Ripper Owen Wilson Phillips and my Supper's ready
Lucy in the Sky with diamond Dave's not here I come to save the Day for
Nightmare Cinema show me the way to get back home
Again 
Flying Off the Hand With careful with
That axe Eugene Gene the dance machine messiah
Light my Fire gabba, gabba
Hey hey my my Generations home again

from Octavarium

oh narcissus you petulant child admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes
oh narcissus you angel beguiled unsated by self you do nothing but die 

from Narcissus

Into the fires of forever we will fly through the heavens
With the power of the universe we stand strong together
Through the force of power, it will soon reach the hour
For victory we ride, Fury of the Storm!

from Fury of the Storm

Proud and so glorious standing before of us
Our swords will shine bright in the sky
When united we come to the land of the sun
With the heart of a dragon we ride

from Heart of a Dragon

 

 

"Now the sound of music
Comes in silver pills
Engineered to suit you
Building cheaper thrills"

Porcupine Tree - "The Sound of Muzak"

Maybe not a lyrical masterpiece, but as a high school student frustrated to
the point of exhaustion by today's music, it struck home pretty effectively.

First post -- someone help me before Top 40 kills me...

POWER SPENT PASSION BESPOILS OUR SOUL RECIEVER!

I love that line. In fact, I'm going to make it my new sig.

Some more-let's see if you can figure them out:

He'll speak my words and slice my mind...

And there you are/saying we have the moon, so now the stars/when all you see/is near diasaster gazing down on you and me...

No-one speaks and no-one tries/And no-one flies around the sun...

From life alone to life as one,
Think not now your journey's done
For though your ship be sturdy, no
Mercy has the sea,
Will you survive on the ocean of being?
Come ancient children hear what I say
This is my parting council for you on your way...

Fishes can't fly/Fishes can't fly/Fishes can't and neither can I/Neither can I...

Knights of the green shield stamp and shout!

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
(These may be the greatest lyrics ever written)

And of course:

Zip-didda-zap-a-zip-zip-da-rap, this what I call the Zip Zap Rap!

Excellent choice

"All the same we take our chances, laughed at by time, tricked by circumstances.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la meme chose - The more that things change, the more they stay the same"

"I've got the wiring loose inside my head"

Good thread! I have been listening to a LOT of Opeth lately, and have been struck by the darkness and pure evil (without being gory like some other heavy acts) of some of Mikael's imagery.

Favorites:

"I hear the baying of the hounds in the distance,
I hear them devouring.
Pest-ridden jackals of the earth,
Diabolical beasts roaming the forests." (I heard this song for the first time while I was playing World Of Warcraft, and battling bears and wolves in Ashenvale Forest. That had an impact that I always remember whenever I hear the song. )

"Face down beneath the waterline gazing into the depth..."

"Into the orchard I walk peering way past the gate"

"Ghost of mother, lingering death;
Ghost on mother's bed.
Black strands on the pillow, contour of her health.
Twisted face upon the head.

Ghost of perdition stuck in her chest,
A warning no one read.
Tragic friendship called inside the fog
Pouring venom brew, deceiving."

When I am king you will be first against the wall... (add whine where applicable)
