Powerful song lyrics

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

    "As soon as you're born they make you feel small
    By giving you no time instead of it all
    'Til the pain is so big you feel nothing at all

    A working class hero is something to be
    A working class hero is something to be

    They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
    They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
    'Til you're so fu*king crazy you can't follow their rules"

    Working Class Hero - John Lennon

    With a left twist and a flick of my wrist
    There’s a drink poured, oh I know you want more
    You want more
    You say tilt that bottle all the way up
    Till you can’t see the bottom of your cup
    Of your cup

    I say hold on, just start with one
    You look at me and say, that’s no fun
    No fun

    Cuz you can’t feel your feelings go away
    With only one drink, it’s been a long day
    A long day

    And then you say

    You don’t know me like you think you do
    I pour me one when I really want two
    Oh, you’re living a lie
    Living a lie

    You think we’re good, but we’re really not
    You could’ve fixed things, but you missed your shot

    Oh, you’re living a lie

    Living a lie

    I'm an Elton John super fan! Lol


    Goodbye Norma Jean
    Though I never knew you at all
    You had the grace to hold yourself
    While those around you crawled
    They crawled out of the woodwork
    And they whispered into your brain
    They set you on the treadmill
    And they made you change your name

    And it seems to me you lived your life
    Like a candle in the wind
    Never knowing who to cling to
    When the rain set in
    And I would have liked to have known you
    But I was just a kid
    Your candle burned out long before
    Your legend ever did

    Loneliness was tough
    The toughest role you ever played
    Hollywood created a superstar
    And pain was the price you paid
    Even when you died
    Oh the press still hounded you
    All the papers had to say
    Was that Marilyn was found in the nude

    Goodbye Norma Jean
    From the young man in the 22nd row
    Who sees you as something as more than sexual
    More than just our Marilyn Monroe
