10) These colours don't run - (A matter of life and death, 2006)
Amazing lyrics against war, a topic often used by the band. I like in particular These colours don't run for being totally straightforward and very clear for everyone.
"For the passion, for the glory
For the memories for the money
You're a soldier, for your country
What's the difference, all the same
Far away from the land of our birth
We fly a flag in some foreign earth
We sailed away like our fathers before
These colors don't run, from cold bloody war"
9) Can I play with madness (Seventh son of a seventh son, 1988)
Honestly, I'm not sure of what this song is about but the dialogue on the second verse is so great that I put it in this chart regardless. Sorry.
"I screamed aloud to the old man
I said don't lie, don't say you don't know
I say you'll pay for this mischief
In this world or the next
Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance
And the hell fires raged in his eyes
He said you wanna know the truth son?
Lord, I'll tell you the truth
Your soul's gonna burn in a lake of fire"
