I've been drinking beer since I was 18 and dabbled since I was 16. I have at least 500 beer bottles in my collection and love the fancy shit though my wallet doesn't. I'll drink liquor not even five times a year including shots or mixed drinks. Jack Daniels and Coke is an easy go-to for me. Very smooth nads candy sweet.

Are you perhaps playing your version of Bridges in the Sky backwards?  :lol

I will have to think about. But since I'm in The Astonishing mode right now I'd go with

The Path That Divides
''On the path that divides
You are right there by my side
There will be no betrayal tonight''

Three Days
''Brace yourself, bow down to Nafaryus
Pray for help, kneel before Nafaryus''

"Blurring the lines between virtue and sin
They can't tell where God ends and mankind begins
They know no other life but this
From the cradle they are claimed"

"Listen when the prophet speaks to you
Killing in the name of God
Passion twisting faith into violence
In the name of God"

I would scream just to be heard
As if yelling at the stars
I was bleeding just to feel

You would never say a word
Kept me reaching in the dark
Always something to conceal

Until one day I stopped caring
AND BEGAN TO FORGET WHY I LOOOONGED TO BE SO CLOOOOOOOSSSSE....

Their best lyric.  And that last part... yup.  One of the best moments in the entire oeuvre.

This. Beneath The Surface and The Spirit Carries On chorus - well, however cheesy they may seem for some of people here - are my two favourite lyrical passages DT has ever written.

These were the first lines that came to my head when I saw the post...so I think that makes them the most memorable for me :)  Memorable does not always (in this case usually) mean good.

Sucking on his pipe
Distinguished accent

dark master - I will follow you

you're the rotted root in the family tree...yeah

don't touch the crooked step

Bow down to Nafaryus  :metal

falling through pages of martens on angels

my music player x2

close your mind, you can find what you need in your eyes (always thought this was a clever, bitter take on Take the Time - and seemed to sum up the mood on FII really well)

We fabricate our demons
Invite them into our homes
Have supper with the aliens
And fight the war alone

We conjure up our skeletons
Enlist the den of thieves
Frightened from our closets
Then sewn upon our sleeves

In the stream of consciousness...

"I can see much clearer now I'm blind" and "I once could see but now at last I'm blind" -Nice little tie-in between songs on I&W.

"Hello, mirror, so glad to see you my friend, it's been a while" -Same with TDS and Repentance.

"He said 'Look at Poor Gene Kelly, I guess he won't be singing in the rain'" was always kind of a cute line every time it came up.
