Ten Lyrics To Write About - nu/alt/prog metal edition

You thought I was done with metal! But it was me, Dio! Yeah, no. There are too many types of metal for me to go through in a single list. What genre of metal do you want? Anyways! You know the drill. Roll a d10 (or generate a random number from 1 to 10). Compare it with the list below. Write something based on the result! You don't actually have to have heard the song, you can just read the quote and let your imagination fly! Share it in the comments— or not, I’m not the boss of you. [BLANKET CONTENT WARNING FOR ALL THE LINKS: may contain graphic sex and violence and otherwise unpleasant things to look at. Especially Slipknot, dang.] Why don’t you ask the kids at Tiananmen Square; was fashion the reason why they were there?

You don't actually have to have heard the song, you can just read the quote and let your imagination fly! Share it in the comments— or not, I’m not the boss of you. Since fate strikes down the strong man, everyone weep with me! ( O Fortuna ) A wretched soul is he who does not live or lust under summer’s rule. ( Ecce Gratum ) Were all the world mine, from the sea to the Rhine, I would starve myself of it ( Were Diu Werlt Alle Min ) If it is the way of the wise man to build foundations on stone, then I am a fool. ( Estuans Interius ) Here, no-one fears death, but they throw the dice in the name of Bacchus. ( In Taberna Quando Sumus ) Your beautiful face makes me wee...

Towards the abyss there’s nothing but oneself [Hacia el abismo no hay más que uno mismo] ( Renacer En La Tormenta,  Fallen Symmetry ) I know I can't stay by your side forever, but I know I won't forget your beauty ( Black Diamond, Stratovarius ) Bloodline deceiver I gaze from above, I bring the madness that makes your blood boil ( Curse of the Werewolf, Timeless Miracle ) Already in your dreams my legacy’s been told, you see my floating grin and soulless eyes, the world goes cold ( Ageless Stranger, Viathyn ) We live to fight the hand of doom, we’ve got the pride to strike a fool, vain glory be my wicked guide ( Vain Glory Opera, Edguy ) You're closer and ...

 I've stopped trying to justify myself with the artists I pick, just enjoy! You know the drill. Roll a d10 (or generate a random number from 1 to 10). Compare it with the list below.
