Top 10 Rock and Metal Songs that Make You Cry

The Top Ten
1 Voice of the Soul - Death

Words can't describe this. You have to feel it. Also, words can't describe the Voice of the Soul. That's why this is an instrumental.

2 The Show Must Go On - Queen
3 Beyond the Realms of Death - Judas Priest

It's a suicide song.

4 Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
5 Black Star - Yngwie Malmsteen
6 Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton
7 Fiddler on the Green - Demons & Wizards

This ballad is about 2 kids dying in 2 car accidents that happened in one week at the same intersection. It's based on a real life story - the singer/lyricist (Hansi Kursch) saw both accidents while walking his dog.
In the song these 2 kids (a boy and a girl) are soul mates. The album cover depicts this story.

8 Soldier of Fortune - Deep Purple
9 In This River - Black Label Society

Tribute to Dime

10 Anybody There - Rainbow
The Contenders
11 Floods - Pantera
12 Down Where I Am - Demons & Wizards

The song is about a father whose newborn child was diagnosed with Down Syndrome. It describes how difficult it is to accept this fact.
"Please tell me why I don't wanna see you 'Cause even your smile hurts, Oh it hurts like hell".

13 21 Guns - Green Day
14 High Hopes - Pink Floyd

The music is sad we all know that, but the lyrics is also sad. its about life. David Gilmour put best words possible in this song.

15 My Immortal - Evanescence

This should be higher.

16 Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day
17 Catch the Rainbow - Rainbow

My favorite rainbow song. This song is kinda sad when the chorus gets sung.

18 Sinner - Theocracy
19 Snuff - Slipknot
20 In Loving Memory - Alter Bridge

It's dedicated to Cliff. And I actually cried once while listening to this song, it doesn't need any words to be emotional
