Death (quotes)

[ivankiss]

I've been flirting with Death throughout my life quite consistently. I have seen its face; felt its claws. 

As a kid; I was fascinated by the concept. I grew up listening to heavy music. "Death" was a pretty common theme.

I looked up to a lot of phenomenal artists. They were my role models, my guides, my friends, my family. 

I'd like to dedicate this thread to one of my all time favourite musicians: Chuck Schuldiner. (May he rest in eternal peace)

He was the brain and heart behind his band called "Death", and is known as the "godfather" of death metal music.

But don't let that fool you...

His lyrics are pure poetry. There is deep Truth and meaning in his music.

These are some of my favourite lines;

"I close my eyes
And sink within myself
Relive the gift of precious memories
In need of a fix called innocence"

"Do you remember when
Things seemed so eternal?
Heroes were so real...
Their magic frozen in time
The only way to learn
Is be aware and hold on tight"

"It must be strange to not have lived
So far into existence
This is not a test of power
This is not a game to be lost or won"

"The answer cannot be found
In the writing of others
Or the words of a trained mind
In a precious world of memories
We find ourselves confined"

"Wherever we go, whatever we do
Your shadow is not far behind our steps"

"Sacred is the gift that they
have without knowing
Serenity is knowing it's safe
from destruction of time"

"Maybe we could take a step back
And discover what leads us to attack"

"Without judgement what would we do?
We would be forced to look
At ourselves emerged in lost time
Assuming what may be
Without judgement
Perception would increase a million times"

"The journey begins with curiosity
And envolves into soul-felt questions
On the stones that we walk
And choose to make our path
Sometimes never knowing
Other times knowing too much"

"Won't you join me on the perennial quest
Reaching into the dark, retrieving light
Search for answers on the perennial quest
Where dreams are followed, and time is a test"

"Live how you want
Just don't feed on me
If you doubt what I say
I will make you believe"

"Shallow are words from those who starve
for a dream not their own to slash and scar"

"It comes from the depths
of a place unknown to the
keeper of dreams
if it could then it would steal
the sun and the moon from the sky
beware"

"When you taste the truth you will
see like others before me, to you
I am past, a story to tell
tell it"

"I told you once but I will say it again
when you live the flesh it is the beginning
of the end
it will take you in
it will spit you out
behold the flesh and the power it holds"

"Enforce the words no more, be free
alone you might just find serenity"

"To accept another day we choose
to give away another piece of life
to forgive is to suffer"

"Once or twice is kind
three or four is blind
it is not the end yet a way to begin
the power of words both good and bad"

"Open my eyes wide to see a moment of clarity
confusion gone, it's in your hands
your turn to ask why"

"Life is like a mystery
with many clues, but with few answers
to tell us what it is that we can do to look
for messages that keep us from the truth"

"How easy it is to deny the pain
Of someone else's suffering"

[ivankiss]

"Lies feed your judgement of others
Behold how the blind lead each other
The philosopher
You know so much about nothing at all"

"Ideas that fall under shadows of theories that stand tall
Thoughts that grow narrow upon being verbally released
Your mind is not your own"

"Your existence is a script,
life for you is a perfomance,
play out the leading role
Directing and premeditating every move
That creates the act of manipulation
Mastering the art of deception
That increases your sick addiction
It's an overactive imagination
that enslaves your empty shell

Existing in dimensions of addictive obsession"

"Time is a thing we must accept
The unexpected I sometimes fear
Just when I feel there's no excuse for what happens,
Things fall into place"

"I know there is no way to avoid the pain that we must go through
to find the other half that is true
Destiny is what we all seek
Destiny was waiting for you and me"
