Your favorite ending lyrics

[Cool Chris]

And post the song and artist, for Pete's sake. 

"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss." Won't Get Fooled Again, The Who.

[pg1067]

The first thing that came to mind was "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."  The Beatles - "The End"

"Sometimes I lose sight of where i'm going
Fanned by a flame I can't remember
But distant lights still burn bright
And the road goes on forever"

Fates Warning - "The Road Goes on Forever"


It's not quite the ending lyric, but the last verse of Metallica's "Damage, Inc." is pretty cool:

"Fuck it all and fucking no regrets
Never happy ending on these dark sets
All's fair for Damage Inc., you see
Step a little closer if you please"


"Forever more, into the night, blistering" - Dream Theater - "Constant Motion"


"Spread before you is your soul
So forever hold the dreams within our hearts
Through nature's inflexible grace
I'm learning to live"

Dream Theater - "Learning to Live"

[Architeuthis]

"AND THE TREES ARE ALL KEPT EQUAL BY HATCHET, AXE, AND SAW"..    Rush - The Trees       

[TAC]

"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss." Won't Get Fooled Again, The Who.

Townsend's?

[KevShmev]

"My lifeblood spills over..." - Neil Peart (from Rush's 2112) -or "We have assumed control" if we want to consider that)

"This neverworld which you desire is only in your mind." -John Petrucci (from DT's Voices)

"Who was dragged down by the stone?" -Roger Waters (from Pink Floyd's Dogs)

[Cool Chris]

"Who was dragged down by the stone?" -Roger Waters (from Pink Floyd's Dogs)

I love the whole final passage of that song and almost included it, but considered it a bit too long for the spirit of this thread.

"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss." Won't Get Fooled Again, The Who.

Townsend's?

That was totally unintentional! 

[TheCountOfNYC]

“We move in circles
Balanced all the while
On a gleaming razor's edge
A perfect sphere
Colliding with our fate
This story ends where it began”

If I have to post the song and artist, I’m clearly on the wrong forum.

[Harmony]

"You're on your own until the end.  There was a choice, but now it's gone.
I said you wouldn't understand.  Take what's yours, and be damned."

Duke's Travels ~ Genesis

What can I say...my shuffle is on a Genesis kick right now.  I'm not complaining.

[HOF]

Keeping with the Genesis theme:

"There's an angel standing in the sun
And he's crying with a loud voice
"This is the supper of the mighty one"
Lord of Lords, King of Kings
Has returned to lead his children home
To take them to the new Jerusalem"

- Supper's Ready

[lonestar]

Sticking with the same album as the opening lyrics thread since it's the best lyrical album ever produced...


"And the sunlight flares through a curtain's tear, shuffling its beams as if in nervous anticipation...of another day..."

Marillion- Hotel Hobbies

[Stadler]

Keeping with the Genesis theme:

"There's an angel standing in the sun
And he's crying with a loud voice
"This is the supper of the mighty one"
Lord of Lords, King of Kings
Has returned to lead his children home
To take them to the new Jerusalem"

- Supper's Ready

HA!  I thought of this last night; I had come in here to write exactly that!

It's one of the best endings of any song in rock history altogether (lyrics and music).
