I think Foksie loves Portishead more than all three of us put together.
I had a hard time deciding, so i will post both of my candidates.
Hypocrisy - Slippin' Away
Filled with anguish and confusion.
Realise the nonsense of existin'.
Stuck... to a meaningless life
and no change for the better.
Send a kiss from jail.
Can this a dream bless me now?
To undo the pain,
my soul will slip on...
Don't tell me 'bury the pain'
As I bury the knife in my body.
Slowly slipping away
To another dimension.
My soul is drifting away in vain.
A man greets me on the other side.
'Welcome to hell.'
Here it's my turn.
Send a kiss from tomorrow.
Endless dreams that we've held.
Don't tell me 'bury the pain'
As I bury the knife in my body.
Slowly slipping away
To another dimension.
Bury the pain
As I bury the knife in my body.
Slowly slipping away
To another dimension.
Bury the pain
As I bury the knife in my body.
Slowly slipping away
To another dimension.
Amon Amarth - The Fate of Norns
I feel a chill in my heart
Like lingering winter cold
I and my son are torn apart
He was just 6 winters old
My first-born was he
And the last of my kin
The last one to carry my name
Death smiled at him its deadly grin
There is no one for me to blame
The fate of Norns await us all
There is no way to escape
The day to answer Oden's call
Or walk through Hel's gate
I carry him to my ship
He seems to be asleep
But the deep blue colour of his lips
Is enough to make me weep
No man should have to bury his child
Yet this has been my share
The tears i shed run bitter and wild
It's a heavy burden to bear
His body feels so light in my arms
His skin is pale as snow
Yet his weight feels heavy in my heart
As my sadness continues to grow
Allfather!
What fate has been given me?
Why must I suffer?
Why must I feel this pain?
Allfather!
Life has lost it's meaning to me
I think I'm going insane!
I lay him down on a pyre
A burial worthy a king
And as I lie down by his side
I hear the weaving norns sing
The fate of Norns await us all
There is no way to escape
The day to answer Oden's call
Or walk through Hel's gate
The fate of Norns await us all
I know this to be true
It's time to answer Odens's call
My son, he calls for me and you

A moment when reason
Has gone astray
Suspended by threads
That begin to fray
What I’ve seen I can’t forget
Yet the World keeps turning
Am I left without regret
An eye for an eye
Hollowed apathy
Weakened will
Emotional Mendicants
Blood to spill
It is folly to accept
These deeds unchanging
When it’s your turn to reflect
You’ll too late realize
A moment when reason
Has gone astray
Suspended by threads
That begin to fray
*Sigh* Akercocke... yourock.wav
I'll just bend the rules a bit:
Metallica - The Call of Ktulu, To Live Is To Die, Orion.
Iron Maiden - No More Lies, Dance of Death.
Dunno if they're sad, but there is something extraordinary about them.
Biffy Clyro -
Scary Mary
What must I have become to deserve all the shit that you gave me
The rocks look like a body in the river, now I just wish that I could sleep
To keep me from thinking but the thoughts keep me up
It's been two months since you taught me not to trust
But you kept your promise
You make patterns in my face, you painted pictures with my tears
And you did it again, I knew that you would
Thank you for showing me there's more
Wash off your hands, it's time to let go, release them
Give time to your heart, give time to your soul, release them all
All The Way Down; Prologue, Chapter 1
Taking part's what counts, but you were not around,
never understand my goals for you
Looking back, seems that everyone in my life, I will be waiting for you
I will be waiting for you until the evidence conveys another side
You’ll never understand my hopes for you
Sleeveless in miniature, monster overture, never be complete unless you know
Looking back, seems that everyone in my life will be waiting for me
I will be waiting for you until the evidence conveys another side
Have you found your way home? Have you found your way?
I feel wondrous, controlling me seems like a good idea
I'll do my best to uphold you, but I know that in the night
Ever wonder if it's forever, the moment passes, but I feel you now
I feel wondrous and holy and I know it's all right
I'll do my best to uphold you and I know that in the night
Ever wonder if it's forever, the moment passes,
but I feel you now, all the way down
So I'll try not to breathe as I hold my head still,
the light bends on my face, there’d be tears if I cried
And I'll try not to think what the happy things were
I just think of the stuff that just made me shit scared
And I'll just close my eyes and I’ll see everyone
that I’m leaving behind for the dawn of the sun
And I'll try not to feel, yes I'll try not to feel,
and I'll try not to feel on the way down
27
I stroke your silken skin, kiss you goodbye, your eyes just pierce me through
I am bleeding with blood I’d give to you, to be the way we were
I still feel the pain in my heart, thoughts once pure are now diluted
We sat and watched the sun go down
We wrapped together in each other’s arms
Never felt so complete as when we're alone on the sand at night
I still feel the pain in my heart, thoughts once pure are now diluted
I love the way your hair hangs over your eyes, crush me with your stare
If I could fly to you I would to be the way we were
I still feel the pain in my heart, thoughts once pure are now diluted
It's alright now, it's alright now, it's alright now, it's alright now
I think Foksie loves Portishead more than all three of us put together.
yes i do
but ill mention one of my favs (not portishead)
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
As she stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of the roses
They grew down the river, all bloody and wild
When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped the tears that ran down my face
On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said, 'Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?'
On the second day he came with a single rose
Said: 'Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?'
I nodded my head, as I layed on the bed
He said, 'If I show you the roses will you follow?'
On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
As I kissed her goodbye, I said, 'All beauty must die'
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

"So What"
who's gonna give a shit
who's gonna take the call
when you find out that the road ahead
is painted on a wall
and you're turned up to top volume
and you're just sitting there in pause
with your feral little secret
scratching at you with its claws
and you're trying hard to figure out
just exactly how you feel
before you end up parked and sobbing
forehead on the steering wheel
who are you now
and who were you then
that you thought somehow
you could just pretend
that you could figure it all out
the mathematics of regret
so it takes two beers to remember now
and five to forget
that i loved you so
yeah, i loved you, so what
how many times undone
can one person be
as they're careening through the facade
of their favorite fantasy
you just close your eyes slowly
like you're waiting for a kiss
and hope some lowly little power
will pull you out of this
but none comes at first
and little comes at all
and when inspiration finally hits you
it barely even breaks your fall
who were you then
and who are you
now that you can't pretend
that you can figure it all out
subtract out the impact
and the fall is all you get
so it takes two beers to remember now
and three more to forget
that i loved you so
yeah, i loved you, so what
i loved you
so what
