Most memroable lyrics line.

The funny thing is: I know these lines so well that I automatically read the right text. Did not even note typos.

who was dragged down by stone

 

dogs- pf

Well that's a very nice one. lovely lyrics you all wrote there (except the german which I do'nt understand at all).

I was'nt surprised many of you quoted "Dogs" cause it's amazing all the way. my lines from that masterpiece would be :

you got to be trusted by the people that you lie to

so that when they turn their backs on you

you'll get the chance to put the knife in.

and even more :

and you believe in heart everyone's a killer.

I'll add two more not yet mentioned :

everybody got to elevate from the norm ! - rush (vital signs, the closer of moving pictures).

the angels have fallen, they've all gone away. it's you that must find them by living each day - kansas (angels have fallen on monolyth)

 

THE SUN IS THE SAME, IN A RELATIVE WAY, BUT YOURE OLDER...

SHORTER OF BREATH , ADN ONE DAY, COSER TO DEATH!!

Not the best of translations, but then rhymed lyric is always difficult to translate. I'll give it a try though (I used to be a professional translator), but need some time for it (the problem is to translate the lyrics in a rhymed form without distorting the contents too much; it is possible though, I have done it before.) Expect my translation by tommorow.

Why?  Because the voice that sings it is just as beautiful as the words??    So lets cover a few more of those mind tingling lyrics...

- Just take a pebble and cast it to the sea.
  Then watch the ripples that unfold into me.
  My face spills so gently into your eyes,
  Disturbing the waters of our lives.

- Have you walked on the stones of years?
  When you speak, is it you that hears?
  Are your ears full? You can't hear anything at all.

- Clear the battlefield and let me see
  All the profit from our victory.
  You talk of freedom, starving children fall.
  Are you deaf when you hear the season's call?

  Were you there to watch the earth be scorched?
  Did you stand beside the spectral torch?
  Know the leaves of sorrow turned their face,
  Scattered on the ashes of disgrace.

  Every blade is sharp; the arrows fly
  We're the victims of your armies' lie,
  Where the blades of grass and arrows reign
  Then there will be very little sorrow,
  Very little pain.

 

-You and I are yesterday's answers

  the earth of the past come to flesh

  Eroded by time's rivers

  to the shapes we now possess

 

  Come share of my breath and my substance

  and mingle our streams and our times

  In bright infinite moments

  our reasons are lost in our eyes

 

- There's no end to my life,

  No beginning to my death:

  Death is life.

 

- Man alone; born of stone;

  Will stamp the dust of time

  His hands strike the flame of his soul;

 

- I give you the state of statesmen

  And the key to what motivates them

  On the left, on the right, on the nail

  Still I don't see a man in a mansion

  That an accurate pen won't puncture

  Go to town, go to hell, go to jail.

 

- So be closer to believing though your world is torn apart

  For a moment changes all things and to end is but to start

  And if your journey's unrewarded, may your God lift up your heart

  You are wind blown, but you are mine.

 

- A tattered cloak behind the throne

  It is unseen it is not known

  Behind this face I am alone

  I would give everything I own

  To touch you...

 

 

 

 

Hi

Brand new to this forum. Love prog and dunno how I ever missed this great site and forum.

 

How about " The leaded window opened
  to move the dancing candle flame
And the first Moths of summer
  suicidal came."

Remember first time I heard that.

 

Cheers

Eetu, mukster's song was "Moths" by Jethro Tull.

The "innocents raped by napalm fire" verse of 21 Century Schizoid Man is always stuck in my head.

" a salamander scurries into flames to be destroyed, imaginary creatures are trapped in earth on celuloid" (feel free to correct)

To be honest that's only what came to my head. toooooo many lyrics are memorable

"rain down, rain down, c'mon, RAIN down on me!!" for ex. Very simple, very bland= very easy to get stuck in head.
