Best Prog Lyric. Ever.

"And his multipile sons with their mandible tongues set crucified fires to petrified homes"

The Mars Volta-"Cassandra Geminni"

"The fate of all the world, I see, is in the hands of fools"

King Crimson-"Epitaph"

"YYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!"

The Who-"Won't Get Fooled Again"

 

The best one, of course, is in my sig.

 

Really hard to make a decision but I'm going with:

"You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill"
-Rush

Always thought it was really funny

and so with gods and men, the sheep remain inside their pen though many times they find the way to leave

"Battleships confide in me and tell me where you are" - Yes , Yours is no
disgrace


"your hands and feet are mangos but you're going to be a genius anyway"
- Phish , the mango song

hahahhahaha!!

^ sweet.  

House With No Door

There's a house with no door and I'm living there
at nights it gets so cold
and the days are hard to bear inside.
There's a house with no roof, so the rain creeps in,
falling through my head as I try to think out time.
I don't know you, you say you know me,
that may be so,
there's so much that I am unsure of ...
You call my name, but it sounds unreal,
I forget how I feel, my body's rejecting the cure.
There's a house with no bell, but then nobody calls;
I sometimes find it hard to tell
if any are alive at all outside.
There's a house with no sound; yes, it's quiet there
there's not much point in words
if there's no-one to share in time.
I've learned my lines, I know them so well,
I am ready to tell
whoever will finally come in
Of the line in my mind that's cold in the night,
it doesn't seem right
when there's that little dark figure running ...

There's a house with no door
and there's no living there:
one day it became a wall ...
well I didn't really care at the time.
There's a house with no light,
all the windows are sealed,
overtaxed and strained NOW NOTHING IS REVEALED BUT TIME
I don't know you, you say you know me,
that may be so,
there's so much that I am unsure of ...
You call my name, but it sounds unreal,
I forget how I feel,
my body's rejecting the cure .....
Won't somebody help me ......?

I love that line too.

Since I have Yes going in the car, I'll vote for

"Gold stainless nail, Torn through the distance of man" from Siberian Khatru
and " Our gods awake in thunderous roars, and guide the leaders hand in paths of glory to the cause" from Gates.

My favorite one-liner is from "Wind At My Back" on Spock's Beard's Snow album:

"My soul has been kissed just because you exist."

 

"A flower?"
