What's your favorite verse?

I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But god only knows what I can do right now!
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do (oh oh oh)
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my life with you.

 

You say you love me
And I hardly know your name
And if I say I love you in the candle light
There’s no one but myself to blame

 

I'm a lumberjack
And I'm Ok...

 

'T was in the darkest depths of Mordor
I met a girl so fair
But Gollum, and the evil one
Crept up and slipped away with her
Her, her, yeah

Led Zeppelin

 

God only knows is hard to beat. You all know how that goes...

 

That's the Great Bear.
A thousand years ago five minutes were
Equal to forty ounces of fine sand.
Outstare the stars. Infinite foretime and
Infinite aftertime: above your head
They close like giant wings, and you are dead.

The great American poet, John Francis Shade

 

“We reach the Sprangle just at dawn
These little streets I used to know
Is that my father mowing the lawn?
C’mon Daddy, get in, let’s go”

Donald Fagen

 

"Watch out where the huskies go and don't you eat the yellow snow"

 

In the wooden chair
Beside my window
I wear a face born in the falling rain
I talk to shadows from a lonely candle
Recite the phrases from the wall
I can't explain this Holy pain

 

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

 

Early one morning
the sun was shining
I was laying in bed
wondering if she had changed at all
if her hair was still red?

Bob Dylan

 

"Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?"

"In solitude
With no place to run or hide
I hear my own mind cry
And I fall just to see you rise"

 

Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
Ifin' you don't know by now
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It'll never do some how
When your rooster crows at the break a dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
Don't think twice, it's all right

Especially if it's the waylon version.

 

If I should die before I wake up
I pray that the Lord my soul will take but
My body, my body, that's your job

 

Last night I saw upon my stair
A little man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
Oh how I wish he'd go away

 

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
With one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea
Circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate
Driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow

 

Just one more mornin'
I had to wake up with the blues
Pulled myself outta bed,
Put on my walkin' shoes
Went up on the mountain
To see what I could see
The whole world was fallin'
Right down in front of me


OR


I've been kicked by the wind, robbed by the sleet
Had my head stoved in, but I'm still on my feet and I'm still, willin'
Now I smuggled some smokes and folks from Mexico
Baked by the sun, every time I go to Mexico, and I'm still

 

The body bags and little rags of children torn in two
And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you
As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song
To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun

- Two Minutes to Midnight (Iron Maiden)
