Top Ten Lines In Rock Music

The Top Ten
1 "Hold my breath as I wish for death. Please God help me!" - One

Beautiful song and Metallica's best. Very sad and depressing, but also very true.

2 "Vengeance from the grave. Kills the people he once saved!" - Iron Man

Black Sabbath's best and most well known song. Has an amazing riff and fantastic lyrics.

3 "...that you can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands, when everybody's fighting for their promised land." - Civil War

A very underrated Guns N Roses song, and possibly the best anti-war song ever made.

4 "On they fight, for they are right, yes, but who's to say?" - For Whom The Bell Tolls

Another Metallica masterpiece. This pretty much sums up war in a few words.

5 "Life down there is just a strange illusion." - Hallowed Be Thy Name

Easily Iron Maiden's best song, and you can see why. The lyrics are very deep and unique.

6 "For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life" - Heaven and Hell, Black Sabbath

So true. Dio wasn't only a great singer, he was also a great poet. This is my favorite Black Sabbath song - music, vox and lyrics are awesome.

7 "Blood is like wine. Unconscious all the time." - Machinehead

I've always liked this song, but it is the only song by Bush that I have heard. Might have to check them out sometime...

8 "I found it hard, it's hard to find. Oh well, whatever, never mind." - Smells Like Teen Spirit

Absolutely love Nirvana, and this song is their most popular.

9 “Don't write in starlight 'cause the words may come out real … Don't smell the flowers - they're an evil drug to make you lose your mind” - Don't Talk to Strangers, Dio
10 "You'll take my life but I'll take yours, too" - The Trooper, Iron Maiden
The Contenders
11 "The Holy Ghost can't save you anymore, Your soul's condemned to burn in Hell, damned for all time" - Poor Man's Crusade, Demons & Wizards

It's about the Crusades in a bit of a mocking tone. Love this song - cool riffing, great vox, chorus, everything. Many cool lines in this song.
"So we will slaughter in the name of Christ. Holy Father, Holy Father"

12 "Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?" - Bohemian Rhapsody

I absolutely adore Queen, and this song is possibly the best of all time.

13 "We have the power make our lives what they ought to be, reconnect with our humanity” - Anthem, Iced Earth

The whole song is very inspirational. Cool melody, great vox.

14 "Generals gathered in their masses. Just like witches at black masses." - War Pigs

Very popular song, and also very true.

15 "What Do You Mean, 'I Don't Believe In God'? I Talk to Him Everyday" - Peace Sells, Megadeth
