Some of my favorite lyric quotes, each of them being here for its own specific reasons. I'll add more as I remember.

➞ [ Lunatic Soul - The Final Truth ] When I met The Ferryman / He smiled to me / Could swear I saw this smile before / "You have to choose" he said / "And then you may return / You'll get another chance to revive / If you decide to keep / Your memories from the past / By all else, you must be forgotten / If you let me take your mind / If you let me take your soul / In their hearts you'll stay forever / Your choice (...) / Let's see what color / Your rising sun will have this time"

➞ [ Ne Obliviscaris - Devour Me, Colossus (Part I): Blackholes ] Scent of the earth / Touch of the light / Here, where colours collide / This blackhole ignites / My world in bloom

➞ [ Agalloch - In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion ] Here at the edge of this world / Here I gaze at a pantheon of oak, a citadel of stone / If this grand panorama before me is what you call God... / Then God is not dead

➞ [ Jenny Hval - Blood Flight ] I carefully rearranged my senses / So they could have a conversation. / Taught them to switch places; / From each pore in my skin grew shimmering eyes! / And fingerprints filled the eye sockets. / From the ears grew two tongues / And I sang for people passing a strange song. / Told them stories without moving my lips! / (Mouth half-open, still) / They assumed the words came from themselves; (...) / The ribs painted their fingernails. / (Black! Of course) / And on the edges of the cunt / Grew little teeth! / The clitoris, that great sphinx, opened its eye: / So many blind years, acting oedipus (...) / Then from my veins came a strange itching, / And I felt a pull through the shoulder blades. / I should have seen it coming! / The blood was itching! / And etched a hole at the nape of the neck. / It flew out into the night / Like a long, red ribbon to the sky. / And up we went, blood and I, spread over the city. / The dark sky lay against my skin, / So close / Like an eyelid

➞ [ Draconian - The Marriage of Attaris ] Hammer me down as pillars! / Veiled from creation unchanging / Patching the holes and the cracks / Tightening the rope around your necks / And we see mankind aimlessly breeding / Desperately bleeding / Erasing you, erasing me from here

➞ [ Mgła - Exercises in Futility III ] Through burial grounds for broken dreams and crippled souls / The graves are shallow / We would dig them up with our bare hands / Just to rise above for a split second / And see them basked in the light of a dead sun / Beneath the sky of shit / And then take notes / Meticulously / We would consume deathbed confessions / Create a language of fading words / For this night is without end

➞ [ Nightwish - Beauty of the Beast ] Sanest choice in this insane world: / Beware the beast but enjoy the feast he offers

➞ [ Caravan - Winter Wine ] All you need, but take heed, remember it pays to pay the sandman well / Make no fuss, for you must - in stardust, he puts all the colours in your dreams

➞ [ Lacrimosa - Sanctus ] Und da warst Du - { And there you were - } / Nicht am Licht das Dich umgab { Not in the light that surrounded you } / Nein - am Schatten den ich warf { No - in the shadow I made } / Habe ich Dich erkannt { I recognised you }

➞ [ :LOR3L3I: - Metanoia ] Beyond the shadow of your doubt you know the truth, inside you / I bleed the wreckage of the stars, / So you can't ground my astral body...

➞ [ Alcest - Souvenirs d'un autre monde ] D'où je viens le temps n'existe pas, { Where I'm from, time doesn't exist, } / Les secondes deviennent des heures, { Seconds become hours, } / Les années de courts instant sitôt envolés { Years become short-lived, instantly-vanishing moments } / Et nos mots trompeurs sont remplacés { And our deceitful words are replaced } / Par la musique et les couleurs { With the music and the colors } / Qui flottent commes des parfums dans l'air ambré { Drifting like perfumes through the amber-smelling air }

➞ [ Phideaux - Candybrain ] The sisters of illusion / Sell delusion at the show / It is said they've wed for wisdom / If it kissed them, they wouldn't even know / Still the marchers walk beside them / Inclined to agree: "If it's written we believe / It will come, you'll see"

➞ [ Lunatic Soul - Blood on the Tightrope ] But no matter how hard you try / To shut down your feverish thoughts / They hunt you down with no regrets / Cause you have to fix it / You have to fix it all (...) / Every day / Every night / We walk the line / Trying not to fall / Every day / Every night / We're getting close / Then we lose control / We rise / We shine / Then we fall down / In love with the moon / Waiting for the sun

➞ [ Ne Obliviscaris - Intra Venus ] The end of all we love and lust / In tainted flesh of doubt and corruption / Is it too late? Will death be my lover? / Will death be my lover? / And into ribs... crib, cradled, caressed / A moment between black talons, blessed / Consciousness, a breath... regret / Clarity come forth, is there salvation?

➞ [ Riverside - Lament ] Acid rain is pouring down / On the caravans of shadows / Once they used to be humans / Dying of too much choice / Devoid of trust and empathy / They were passing each other / Now together with raised hands / In tears they call out at the sky / Father, will you take me away?

➞ [ Oathbreaker - Stay Here / Accroche-Moi ] Hand out your troubles, give me your pain / I'll plant them next to the thorns in my veins / Tie your limbs to my crippled life / Hang on, I'll carry you around

➞ [ A Forest of Stars - Scripturally Transmitted Disease ] Happily stuck in the throats of an angry mob stretched beyond repair by production line proclivity / I am as steadfast refusal / I've shown no interest and I've reaped little that I've sewn / A world of cloned mechanists has left me unwaveringly organic; / Perhaps food for thought or just food for the worms
