Death - A Moment Of Clarity Lyrics






I would describe it as an invisible darkness
casting a shadow, a blinding black
guarded by hope, my soul is kept safe from the bloody claws.

Look to beyond, what vision lets me see
time after time, unneeded misery
holding tight to my dreams
I own no price for you
I grip them tight and hope for sight.

Open my eyes wide to see a moment of clarity
confusion gone, it's in your hands
your turn to ask why.

Life is like a mystery
with many clues, but with few answers
to tell us what it is that we can do to look
for messages that keep us from the truth

Death A Moment Of Clarity Comments
  1. M.... o....

    Is it just me or did this song just described the torment I've been through during my childhood and my early teen years?What a world we live in

  2. D.... A....

    The solo is truly beautiful. Fucking hell, I can't get enough to listen this.

    I love this song!

  4. S.... ....

    The verses are so groovy

  5. K.... ....

    I just dont understand why this band isn't as popular as it should be, musically they piss all over the competition. Imagine when the next album could have been, rip chuck...

    K.... ....

    Kurt A bit of elevated heart-brain connection is needed for that sort of appreciation. Can t find it in huge numbers.

  6. R.... m....

    que buen solo hpta !!

  7. E.... C....

    real humanity lost a great fight when he died, all who listen and feel to death"s music becomes a better human for the thoughts in melody and lyrics he gave to us and still bringing !

  8. e.... m....

    Chuck's shredding at the end is so...WOW!

  9. T.... I....

    The ending is so deep , such a living clot of what is called a life

  10. G.... G....

    Epic intro

  11. s.... d....

    Chuck will be remembered till the end of times.

  12. J.... K....

    12 people are a few chromosomes shy of retarded here

  13. R.... A....

    I am a die hard Death fan

  14. R.... A....

    I have all 7 albums from Death

  15. R.... A....

    Chuck Schuldiner rules!!!!!!!!!!

  16. R.... A....

    We miss you chuck

  17. R.... A....

    Death metal rules!!!!!!!!!!!

  18. R.... A....

    Death rules!!!!!!!!!!!!

  19. R.... A....

    Killer album a Masterpiece

  20. R.... A....

    Killer song

  21. A.... Z....

    Listen, if you're going to do a lyric video, you have to get the lyrics right! Nothing more irritating, goddamn...

  22. b.... ....

    rest in peace Chuck, know you're still wrecking face almost twenty years later. That solo and those chorus bits get me every time.

  23. M.... R....

    i would do anything for the section at 5:57 to last forever

  24. T.... T....

    Hamm's solo is rad, but Chucks is so emotional I love it!

  25. R.... Y....

    Chuck RIP...

  26. W.... i....

    my 12 year old metal head little brother showed me Death. Been playing this song for 3 days non stop now.

  27. G.... M....

    There is no other way to put it, this song as a whole is a masterpiece

  28. N.... ....

    Dad: "Why you crying so fucking loud?"
    Me: 5:40

  29. A.... P....

    2:21
    Shannon Hamm deserves HATS OFF!!!!

  30. t.... c....

    At 5:33 the right lyric is "oh God" instead of "no God"

  31. S.... P....

    Love that slide at 0:45

  32. L.... F....

    Another fantastic, deep foray into metal by the best band of the genre IMHO. RIP Chuck!

  33. J.... B....

    Haven't listened to all of deaths earlier albums but the line up of shannon hamm and chuck schuldiner is undeniably epic and I think this is deaths most epic guitar duo arrangement definitely the pairs best solo's in one fuckin song epicness not too mention that slow rhythm guitar at the end with the brutal double kick and I think this is well before those direct drive drum pedals like it doesn't sound overly quick just sounds like chain drive aggression all the way just a killa line up on the sound of perseverance and it's fucken upsetting coz the band was in a league of it's own putting all other forms of metal to shame R.I.P. Chuck keep the metal faith alive!

    J.... B....

    It's still in a league of it's own. Haven't heard another band yet that has the technical ability WITH that organic groove on the drums. Not to mention these songs. Pure awesomeness. They don't make em like this anymore....

    J.... B....

    I still think James Murphy is the best (other than Chuck obviously) but I like Shannon's solos quite a lot. I'm surprised because people usually bash him for whatever reason.

    J.... B....

    Dude, Chuck was no comparison in terms of soloing against any of his players, starting with James Murphy. That's why he got them in the first place. Because they were the best.

    J.... B....

    For me the best duo was Andy LaRoque and Chuck but Murphy and Chuck really come close.

  34. B.... P....

    2:57 Is just purely orgasmic

  35. f.... a....

    the outro of this song is just fucking sublime

  36. H.... ....

    One of my favorite intros ever.

  37. B.... B....

    was the 666th liker... you.. yeah you, dont you dare giving another like!

  38. G.... ....

    Best solo of music history

    G.... ....

    What about Altering the Future? Or Without Judgement's solos?

  39. r.... v....

    Best DEATH album lml

    r.... v....

    Their discography is so good you could say that about any Death album. My favourite is Leprosy

  40. 2.... 1....

    Reminds me of my childhood

  41. M.... v....

    Call me crazy, but After listening to Chuck's clean vocal version, the album version just doesn't sound right. This is pretty much the only Death song like that though.

    Chuck's clean vocals carry so much melody and passion that bring this song to an entirely new level.

    M.... v....

    what clean vocal version?

    M.... v....

    judgedredd69 Look up "A Moment of Clarity 1996 Demo Clean Vocals"

  42. j.... l....

    This one and HUMAN are the best death's albums

  43. G.... ....

    5:42 - 7:26 If I had to pick one passage of music for the rest of eternity, I think this could be it.

    G.... ....

    Tough choice between this and Perennial Quest. Actually, if there was only one section I could listen to it would probably be the presolo from Without Judgement.

  44. S.... S....

    2:21 That solo can cure depression

    S.... S....

    No shit man I reckon Shannon Hamm was the best lead player death ever had love chucks unique lead style too the cunts tapping is next level and displays how far ahead of his time he was .

    S.... S....

    It can't but it gives you reasons to live

    S.... S....

    @Walaggler 1313 no, it can much more than you think. Depression ain't like other diseases. You must fight it yourself. Only you can cure your own depressions. The drugs about depression only makes it worse and even sometimes they suicide owing to using these drugs. The drugs do sell and everyone buys it... Peace sells, but who's buying?

    S.... S....

    3:13 cures my depression.

    S.... S....

    @Niral does he say No God. Or No, to God?

  45. D.... M....

    The ending is a pure tear-jerking mayhem.

  46. f.... ....

    Everything, All

  47. D.... ....

    Seven minutes and twenty seven seconds of clarity

  48. F.... ....

    Wow, all the time I was hearing in my mind : ' My dreams, my hopes no place for you.'
    I guess, I heard what I wanted to hear. Maybe, trough these added lyrics I'll find a new dimension of this song.

  49. M.... S....

    Esse solo é do caralho!!!!

  50. Y.... D....

    Nice job man, god bless

  51. g.... I....

    This is how Death metal should sound.... Respect!!! 👏

  52. H.... n....

    DEATH THE ONLY THING IS REAL...inevitable FOREVER

  53. A.... R....

    A song about taking responsibility for our path through life in the absence of god?

    A.... R....

    Andre Richard

    Nice thought...whatever we want to see it would be really great to get the ultimate moment of clarity

    A.... R....

    Andre Richard I agree, I feel the same way this lyric.

  54. d.... ....

    Is it right that the bass lines have the fade out riff the whole time?

  55. J.... S....

    who?.In the name of fuck, gave this a thumbs down.

  56. D.... A....

    Chucks solo is out of this world. It's my favorite among flood by pantera

    D.... A....

    I agree 100% with you bro!

  57. A.... R....

    I've drank a lot of beer to this song, and shed a fair bit of tears as well. Great jam, love Death!

    A.... R....

    *Walks in other mans footsteps*

    *Scratched in code onto some servers HD*

    "Andre Richard has been here"

    A.... R....

    Tear jerker

  58. T.... N....

    Perfection

  59. M.... M....

    One love for this song, one love for this band!! Best of Death.

  66. S.... ....

    A thinker's music. It's amazing to think Chuck in his 20's able to compose such a deeply-thought lyrics. He was a true genius.

    S.... ....

    @Jaime ahhahaha ..fckin trashes xdd get out of here son

    S.... ....

    @Gold Ardeo He wrote it in his 20s thooo

    S.... ....

    @Championship Barbosa it is tho because of the use of the phrases in this song. Short, sweet and to the point

    S.... S....
