My favourite lyrics are probably heavily tied to being set to the most gorgeous music... But off the top of my head, I can only nominate "der Hölle Rache", the most famous aria of the queen of night from Mozart's Zauberflöte. But unfortunately, those are in German (there might also be an english version, but I don't know it, so I don't know if it holds the same magic in the words) - they are just the perfect expression of rage and my teenage puberty-driven enraged self found them a great outlet. I would always crank up the volume of my music system to the highest setting, put this song on repeat and scream along (I can't really put that any other way, I am so not capable of actually singing this :D). It was also a great way of communicating to my mom that I was furious with her, since you could probably hear it throughout the whole house :D
I'll just try to translate the first few lines in my own words for you (and yes, I'm translating instead of just googling them because I know the german words by heart):
"Hell's vengeance
is boiling in my heart
death and desperation
are flaming around me!
If not through you
Sarastro feels mortal agony
you are my daughter nevermore."
Well, it sounds very awkward in my translation, but it's great in German, trust me ;)
