What do you think are some of the most powerful song lyrics ever?

I'll start with these...........

"And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence"

The Sounds of Silence
Simon and Garfunkel

    Idk about EVER butttt

    "Flicker, yes flicker
    There it is
    A little less faint
    A little more of your flame
    Feel it warm your skin
    Part of you trapped within
    Shed a little light on this, help me see
    Shed a little light on this, underneath the scarring from his defiling
    Underneath the pain

    Heroines, they are not born, they are made
    A phoenix forms, her ashes rise
    Expose their hell, break Satan's spell
    Fire purifies, it's redemption time"

    I'm pretty addicted to 'freefall' right now.

    It has some pretty powerful lyrics that I can relate to - it's got me through some pretty tough workouts!

    Very powerful to me personally lately:

    Hold me near when I am restless
    Hold me near when I am bitter
    Hold me near when I'm rebellious
    Hold me near until the end

    Hold me near when my heart is broken
    Hold me near when I'm ignorant
    Hold me near when I am jealous
    Hold me near until the end

    But as for me my feet almost gave out
    I nearly sold my heart
    It's good to be held by my Father
    It's good to be where You are <3

    Delight and Angers by In Flames:

    Please heal me, I can't sleep
    Thought I was unbreakable, but this is killing me
    Call me, everything, make me feel unbreakable,
    Lie and set me free

    I feel the fear takes hold
    Afraid this hell I create is my own
    Calm my franticness, I can't take it anymore,
    This used to be my own world,
    But now I've lost control

    There is no pain, you are receding
    A distant ship smoke on the horizon
    You are only coming through in waves
    Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
    When I was a child I had a fever
    My hands felt just like two balloons
    Now I've got that feeling once again
    I can't explain, you would not understand
    This is not how I am
    I have become comfortably numb

    @Villae81 I agree; this is one of my favorites as well. Love Pink Floyd.

    Something to think about

    'it's only spinning molecules, racing back and forth
    so why does it feel so bad?'

    Have you heard staind's cover on it? It's pretty good

    I definitely will check out Staind's cover of this song. Sometimes the remakes are better than the original. I like Disturbed's version of the Sounds of Silence better than Simon & Garfunkel's original; more powerful vocals.

    "Young hearts, be free tonight;
    Time is on your side.
    Don't let them put you down,
    Don't let them push you around.
    Don't ever let them change your point of view."
    -Rod Stewart, 'Young Turks'

    AND

    "Abide with me, fast falls the eventide.
    The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
    When other helpers fail, and comforts flee...
    Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me."
    -Abide With Me
