Hmm. Tricky to think about lyrics that I like in terms of actual language since I like the as much for sound or flow. These ones I like, mostly becasue of the way the melody works the the rhyme:

HIM - "Funeral of Hearts"

"She was the sun
Shining upon
The tomb of your hopes and dreams so frail
He was the moon
Painting you
With it's glow so vulnerable and pale

...

She was the wind, carrying in
All the troubles and fears you've for years tried to forget
He was the fire, restless and wild
And you were like a moth to that flame

The heretic seal beyond divine
A prayer to a god who's deaf and blind
The last rites for souls on fire
Three little words and a question why..."

I'm not big on the chorus, but I like the parts in between. I'm a big fan of internal rhyming, though having it here without the meldoy kind of messes the rhythm up.
