Favourite lyrics.

[rattmuff]

I'd like to know the peoples taste of song lyrics/stanza/verse.


Somehow I like Sabaton's lyrics. I believe I don't have to really explain why.

Panzerkampf
Into the motherland
The German army march

In the Soviet Union summer 1943
Tanks line up in thousands as far the eye can see
Ready for the onslaught
Ready for the fight
Waiting for the axis to march into the trap
Mines are placed in darkness
In the cover of the night
Waiting to be triggered
When the time is right
Imminent invasion, imminent attack

Once the battle started
There's no turning back

The end of the third Reich draws near
It's time has come to an end
The end of an era is here
It's time to attack!

Into the motherland the German army march
Comrades stand side by side to stop the Nazi charge
Panzers on Russian soil a thunder in the east
One million men at war
Soviet wrath unleashed!

Fields of Prokhorovka
Where the heat of battle burned
Suffered heavy losses
And the tide of war was turned
Driving back the Germans
Fighting on four fronts
Hunt them out of Russia
Out of Soviet land
Reinforce the front line
Force the axis to retreat
Send in all the reserves
Securing their defeat
Soldiers of the Union
Broke the citadel
Ruins of an army
Axis rest in hell

The end of the third Reich draws near
Its time has come to an end
The end of an era is here
Its time to attack

Into the motherland the German army march
Comrades stand side by side to stop the Nazi charge
Panzers on Russian soil a thunder in the east
One million men at war
Soviet wrath unleashed!

Onward comrads! Onwards for the Soviet Union! Charge!

Ow mother Russia!
Union of lands
Will of the people
Strong in command
Ow mother Russia!
Union of lands
Once more victorious the red army stands!

The end of the third Reich is here
Its time has come to an end
The end of an era is here
Its time to attack!

Into the motherland the German army march
Comrades stand side by side to stop the Nazi charge
Panzers on Russian soil a thunder in the east
One million men at war
Soviet wrath unleashed!


Wolf Pack
To their own shore came the world war
Gleaves and Ingham
Leading the bury west

Took the short way in
The long route back convoy 92
Bury Gleaves and Ingham leading
Tankers to the west
And upon the north Atlantic
Lies the silence of the seas
On a quiet night in the darkest hour
The kriegsmarine appear

Above the surface it seems quiet and calm
Deep down below the wolfpack lurks

To their own shore came the world war
Gleaves and Ingham
Leading the bury west
In their own track came the wolfpack
Gleaves led the conwoy
Into the hornets nest

At the crack of dawn the second day
Bury stands in flames
Half the convoy sunk or disabled
Heading back to shore
But below the north Atlantic
On the bottom of the sea
On the second night in the darkest hour
The kriegsmarine return

The wolfpack surface for a second time
To make the convoy face it's fate

To their own shore came the world war
Gleaves and the Ingham
Leading the bury west
In their own track came the wolfpack
Gleaves led the convoy
Into the hornets nest

Under fire under water
May 42 when
Bury did fail the test
To their own shore came the world war
Gleaves and the Ingham
Leading them into death

569 makes the contact and lead them
U-94 scores a kill in the dark
U-124 sinking 4 in 2 approaches
406 suffers failure on launch

 

[Jon K]

Being a military history buff, I can't help out of thinking the Imperial Japanese Navy when I listen to Dido's "White Flag"

I know I left too much mess and
destruction to come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "it's over"
then I'm sure that that makes sense

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

"Aloha Steve and danno" by Radio Birdman

"Caught with a stiff and a silenced gun, i said,book him Danno, murder 1!"

Lead guitarist Deniz Tek was a Detroit youth, he did his medical doctrate whilst in Birdman, and later became a fighter pilot for the U.S Navy, he flew F4,s....and wait for it...his call sign was "Ice man" this was years before the movie top gun,around 1980-2.

New Race was another one of their songs, this one with fighter aircraft undertones...Gonna be a new race,kids are gonna start it up. kids are gonna e-ject, cause now its time to punch out!

Just google radio Birdman for more info....very cool Australian rock band.

"Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, boy, she'll beat you if she's able....

You know the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet..."


-"Desperado" by the Eagles-

Or pretty much the entire lyrics of Smashing Pumpkins, "The beginning is the end is the Beginning."


"Send a heartbeat to
The void that cries through you
Relive the pictures that have come to pass
For now we stand alone
The world is lost and blown
And we are flesh and blood disintegrate
With no more to hate

Is it bright where you are
And Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour
Now all secrets fade
We can watch the world devoured in its pain

Delivered from the blast
The last of a line of lasts
The pale princess of a palace cracked
And now the kingdom comes
Crashing down undone
And I am a master of a nothing place
Of recoil and grace

Is it bright where you are
And Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour
Now all secrets fade
We can watch the world devoured in its pain

Time has stopped before us
The sky cannot ignore us
No one can separate us
For we are all that is left
The echo bounces off me
The shadow lost beside me
There's no more need to pretend
Cause now I can begin again

Is it bright where you are
And Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour
Now all secrets fade
We can watch the world devoured in its pain
Strange .."

The Soviet National Anthem (1977) :

*Note: It sounds better if sung in Russian.

In a singable English version.

Unbreakable union of freeborn republics,
Great Russia has welded forever to stand!
Created in struggle by will of the people,
United and mighty our Soviet land!

CHORUS :

Sing to the fatherland! Home of the free,
Bulwark of people, in brotherhood strong!
Oh! Party of Lenin! The strength of the people.
To Communism's triumph lead us on!

Through tempest the sunrays of freedom have cheered us,
Along a new path where great Lenin did lead!
To a righteous cause he raised up the peoples!
Inspired them to labour and valorous deed!

CHORUS

In the victory of communism's deathless ideal,
We see the future of our dear land!
And through her fluttering scarlet banner,
Selflessly true we shall always stand!

CHORUS

Communism and Lenin aside, you'll have to agree it's inspiring and it has the power to rally demoralized troops. I mean come on, it's arguably one of the best anthems of it's time. Putin justifiably replaced the old Patriotic Song with this one with changed lyrics. It sounds better than ever.
