There are still very good musical artists who also excel in writing lyrics as much as they do in music.

Time by Black Orchid:
“The years teach much which the days never know”
--Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
Tempus Aeturnus
Time is like a lit fuse
It burns, it sears, eludes, deprives, and consumes
To feel its grasp clench like a vice
Time and time I feel denied of all that was and is yet to be , the Ebb and flow of all bestowed
Will time align this fragile design?
Do you feel times flow, its energy, endlessly?
Do we know the bane of mortality?
Time eternal - Time is ever beside you
Time eternal - Time in time will reveal all
Time eternal - Time is ever beside you
Time eternal - Time in time does deceive all
Time is life's greatest lie
It takes, forgets, defies, all memories transpire
In time, forgive and learn to grieve
To live, to die, conceive desire, to love for all eternity
The heart and soul of all betrothed to freely dream incessantly
To feel, to breath the air, the sea, to live this life in harmony
The pendulum will swing again and time moves forward endlessly

Dreams in Formaline by Omega Lithium:
Created by hands, emerged from their flesh, they forced the life into us, giving us something surreal; but with the gift of life came the curse of emotions--trapped inside mechanic shells and sparked into devotion.
We were abused, exploited by you
Obeying your master, while we dreamed of freedom
Drowned in silence, close the eyes
You tamed our bodies but fueled our minds
Chained in wires, controlled by the signals, we found ourselves trapped in humanity
Lost desires and dreams of our future emerged in formaline, and then we began to dream.

Open Your Eyes by Midnattsol:
Open your eyes and see
Open your ears for the thing you fear: Reality
Your victims so insecure, their faces so sour, but for all your crimes you will pay forever
My strength makes you weak
My unconditional love makes you weep
You raped my soul but I'm unbreakable
All the times I trusted you
All the times I believed that you would show your inner child, but no, it's not right
Acts of hate, kept in the earth like a seed; and until the end you will carry it with you
The consequence if you deny to reflect
So open your eyes and face the thing you fear: Reality

Wintermoon by Scythe:
One day, while arising from the mountains of frost, you will see the vanished sun; and soon you will find the answer--you will find it in the wintermoon.
On from the fog through the forest with the glaring frost in your neck, through the times after black winterclouds on the way back.
One day, while returning from the bottom of life, you'll see the sun again; the tune that's following the spirit of night as I see my one again.
I'm back with the remains of a glorious time and keep on walking through the coldness.
Nowhere is the place I had begun years ago in the mist.
I'm not finished so far with my thoughts.
I have not found the ring of wisdom and patience in the forest of October, dancing with the clouds in December

Dekadance by Moonspell:
Tomorrow, will I wake up?
Tomorrow, will I wake up and instead of eyes we will be born with blindfolds?
Tomorrow, will I wake up and from my mouth will flee a song?
Tomorrow, I will wake up with this strange need of not to belong
Tomorrow, I will wake up just to copy whatever is wrong
Tomorrow, I will wake up in a cage of perfect gold
Tomorrow, will I wake up hope in tongue golden song?
Tomorrow, I will wake up with an innate appetite to be one of yours
Tomorrow, I will wake up and try everything not to be alone
Tomorrow, will I wake up and try everything to be alone?
Incise, open wide from the inside.
Cast out, see what is still left of life.
Secure for me the status of a prime suspect tying the hands of a blindman, teaching the colours to a blindman and ask him to react.
Tomorrow, I will finally feel a natural will of being artificial.
Tomorrow, I will wake up into decadance with elegance.

I could go on, but I think those are enough examples...
