    DEFINITELLY The Unforgiven Metallica.. This sums it ALL up...

    The Unforgiven

    New blood joins this earth

    And quikly he's subdued

    Through constant pain disgrace

    The young boy learns their rules

    With time the child draws in

    This whipping boy done wrong

    Deprived of all his thoughts

    The young man struggles on and on he's known

    A vow unto his own

    That never from this day

    His will they'll take away

    What I've felt

    What I've known

    Never shined through in what I've shown

    Never be

    Never see

    Won't see what might have been

    What I've felt

    What I've known

    Never shined through in what I've shown

    Never free

    Never me

    So I dub thee unforgiven

    They dedicate their lives

    To running all of his

    He tries to please them all

    This bitter man he is

    Throughout his life the same

    He's battled constantly

    This fight he cannot win

    A tired man they see no longer cares

    The old man then prepares

    To die regretfully

    That old man here is me

    What I've felt

    What I've known

    Never shined through in what I've shown

    Never be

    Never see

    Won't see what might have been

    What I've felt

    What I've known

    Never shined through in what I've shown

    Never free

    Never me

    So I dub the unforgiven

    You labeled me

    I'll label you

    So I dub the unforgiven

    I'm suprised somebody hasn't mentioned Judith by A Perfect Circle

    you're such an inspiration for ways that i will never ever choose to be
    oh so many ways for me to show you how your savior has abandoned you

    f-- your god, your lord, your christ
    he did this took all you had
    and left you this way
    still you pray never stray
    never taste of the fruit
    never thought to question why

    it's not like you killed someone
    it's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
    praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed
    he did it all for you

    oh so many ways for me to show you how your dogma has abandoned you
    pray to your christ to your god
    never taste of the fruit
    never stray never break
    never choke on a lie
    even though he's the one
    who did this to you
    never thought to question why

    it's not like you killed someone
    it's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
    talk to jesus christ as if he knows the reasons why
    he did it all for you

    he did it all for you

    Another one would have to be "Engel" by Rammstein

    Live in virtue, no desire
    In the grave an angel's choir
    You look to heaven and wonder why
    No one can see them in the sky

    Just as the clouds have gone to sleep
    Angels can be seen in heaven's keep
    Alone in fear they question why
    Goddamn not an angel when I die

    Angels live, they never die
    Apart from us, behind the sky
    They're fading souls who've turned to ice
    So ashen white in paradise

    Just as the clouds have gone to sleep
    Angels can be seen in heaven's keep
    Alone in fear they question why
    Goddamn not an angel when I die

    Goddamn an angel when I die
    Heaven must be hell in the sky )

    And finally, "Wasteland" by The Mission (UK)

    There's a crystal view from my window
    And I can see years to come
    I live for the burn and the sting of pleasure
    I live for the sword, the steel, and the gun
    I can tear down the walls, storm them barricades
    Run to the place where the frightened crawl
    Desire lurks beyond good and evil
    So dance on the graves where the hammer falls

    (Chorus)
    Over this land
    All over this wasteland
    Over this land
    All over this wasteland

    You can touch, but please keep your distance
    You're innocent and pure and with no shame
    The spirit is willing, and the flesh is great
    Your teasing your torment with the pleasure of pain

    (Chorus)

    Heaven and Hell, I know them well
    But I haven't yet made my choice
    I'm feeling dead 'cause I'm shouting loud
    And NO ONE can hear my voice
    Walking the tightwire, can't look down
    Strung out high, above you all
    Faithful wind blows through this land
    Howls my name, Hell is my fall.

    Talking Heads - Road To Nowhere

    There's a city in my mind
    Come along and take that ride
    and it's all right, baby, it's all right

    And it's very far away
    But it's growing day by day
    And it's all right, baby, it's all right

    They can tell you what to do
    But they'll make a fool of you
    And it's all right, baby, it's all right

    We're on a road to nowhere
