    i will walk with my hands bound
    i will walk with my face blood
    i will walk with my shadow flag
    into your garden, garden of stone

    &

    dear dad, can you see me now
    i am myself, like you somehow

    &

    we were but stones - your light made us stars

    &

    you are a tower of strength to me
    the darkening hour sees light again

    &

    i remember when you sang that song about today
    now is tomorrow and everything has changed

    &


    vacate is the word...vengeance has no place on me or her
    cannot find the comfort in this world

    &

    there's a girl on a ledge, who's got nowhere to turn
    because all the love that she had was just wood that she burned
    now her life is on fire, it's no one's concern
    she can blame the world...or pray til dawn
    but only love...can break her fall

    &

    ...
    En mi vida,
    el oscuro me mantiene
    cuando yo te vi
    en la lluvia me prometiste tu sangre

    Estrella de la mañana
    Samael te persigo a ti
    y si me quedo sin alas
    ademas me muero por ti

    This is one of my all-time favorites! Again, the word usage here is stunning ... I know so much about the person he's writing about, just from these few words.

    Do you see the way that tree bends, does it inspire?

    I will stand arms out stretched, pretend I'm free to roam.

    I don't think I could ever commit to just one line permanently but at the moment I can't get his line from Inside Job out of my head:

    Rise. Life is in motion. I'm stuck in line.
    Oh rise. You can't be neutral on a moving train.
    One day... the symptoms fade. Think I'll throw these pills away.
    And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done.

    Stunned by my own reflection
    It's looking back, sees me too clearly
    And I swore I'd never go there again

    A few...

    Make me cry

    and...

    I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
    In somebody else's sky

    and...

    A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw, Delivered him wings, 'Hey, look at me now'

    You are not your job.
    You are not how much money you have in the bank.
    You are not the car you drive.
    You are not the contents of your wallet.
    You are not your fucking khakis.

    Can't it be, can't it be mine

    ...

    To myself I... surrender
    To the one I'll never please

    ...

    can't buy what I want because it's free

    ...

    You don't have to stray
    Two oceans away
    Waves roll in my thoughts
    Hold tight the ring...
    The sea will rise...
    Please stand by the shore...

    I will be...
    I will be...
    There once more.........

    ...


    Feel like a question is forming
    and the answers far
    I will be what i could be
    Once I get out of this town
    To myself I... surrender
    To the one I'll never please

    "I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star...in somebody else's sky...but why...why...why can't it be mine?"

    I can't imagine if the end of Black is realy sad. Yes, it's true that he loses her. But he will be happy, if she finds her satisfaction in her life.
    And man, who can realy do that in his life, must have a big, unselfish heart.

    Could you do this in the same situation?
    I would...
    Because there are greater feelings in our life than love.
    Okay, love is a beautiful thing...but if you realy love someone, I mean, love so strong, that you would do everything for this person....
    If you realy love so much...
    ...you know, that there is no greater feeling in this world...that to see your loving person happy.

    So I think, that Black is not so pesimistic at all.
    He loved her. He still loves her. And she left. He is sad, but he'll get over. Why?
    Because his love will live on anyway.
    And he will be happy, when she finds her goals in her life.
    That is more than love.

    I'm sure, that everyone had found himself in the same situation.
    It's hard to lose someone special in your life.
    I've lost someone.
    And now, he's a star.
    Not in my sky.
    But I'm happy.
    He's still mine. Not with me, but still...
    and yes...
    ....I ask myself...why can't it be? Mine?
    But that's the way it is...
    I just want to scream...
    ...hello!!!
    My god its been six years...
    never dreamed...
    ...you'd return.

    Seems like a popular answer around here...
    What gives it that much more strength is that it comes right at the apex of the song. Along with the rising music it just resonates through your body.
