"Should I forget the way I feel? God he knows how long I tried. Feel there is no reason to cry. I live my life in fotune dreams forever."
- Blind Guardian, Time What Is Time

"Never trust the northern winds - Never turn your back on friends!"
- Blind Guardian, Nightfall

"If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now." (Zaphod Beeblebrox)
- Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them,
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."
- John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, The Lord Of The Rings

"We looked for truth, for the reasons of our fate, the only reply we got was hate."
- Axel Rudi Pell, Ashes From The Oath

"It cannot be seen but there's blood on the Green. Only God knows I'm innocent..."
- Blind Guardian, Battlefield

"It's you who said there's no tomorrow, I don't know but who I am. I would not sit back any longer. It's surely built in sadness but the sadness surely will go by. So we will all know the answer, the answer's within, it's in your mind."
- Blind Guardian, Wait For An Answer

"Truth lies in loneliness, when hope has long gone by. I'll wipe out the bliss of the new age and welcome you, precious night."
- Blind Guardian, The Soulforged

"Time is only an illusion - lunchtime doubly so..." (Ford Prefect)
- Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

"Where have all the feelings gone? Why is it the deadliest sin - to love as I loved you? Now unblessed, homesick in time, soon to be freed from care, from human pain. My tale is of the most bitter truth: Time pays us but with earth and dust and a dark, silent grave. Remember, my child: Without innocence the cross is only iron, hope is only an illusion and Ocean Soul is nothing but a name...
The Child bless thee and keep thee forever!"
- Nightwish, Bless The Child

"Proudly it stands,
until the world's end,
the victorious banner of love."
- Blind Guardian, The Maiden And The Minstrel Knight

"If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it. Remember only the verse. Songmaker's cry the one without tears. For I've given this its strength and it has become my only strength. Comforting home, mother's lap, chance for immortality, where being wanted became a thrill I never knew. The sweet piano writing down my life.
Teach me passion for I fear it's gone. Show me love, hold the lorn. So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me. I'm sorry. Time will tell this bitter farewell. I live no more to shame nor me nor you.
And you... I wish I didn't feel for you anymore..."
- Nightwish, Dead Boy's Poem

"At the dawn of our living time hope may cover all cries, truth lurks hidden in the shadows, dreams might be filled with lies. Soon there will be night. Pain remains inside."
- Blind Guardian, Harvest Of Sorrow

"Each step I take, may it hurt, may it ache, leads me further away from the past. But as long as I breathe each smile on my bleak face, I'm on my way to find back to the peace of mind."
- Blind Guardian, The Soulforged

"I've lost my battle before it starts, my first breath wasn't done. Spirit's sunken deep into the ground. Why am I alone?
I can feel my heartbeat, silence all around."
- Blind Guardian, Mordred's Song

"And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am"
- Goo Goo Dolls, Iris

"The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the Dark Side Of The Moon
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane
You lock the door and throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me
And if the clouds bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the Dark Side Of The Moon
All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
And all that you love
And all that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
And all that you give
And all that you deal
And all that you buy
beg, borrow or steal
And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say
And all that you eat
And everyone you meet
And all that you slight
And everyone you fight
And all that is now
And all that is gone
And all that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon"
- Pink Floyd, Dark Side Of The Moon
