Forced entry into this life,\\
As I go the pain sustains deep inside my soul,\\
But hate will never leave me."
* "Solitude" from their first album is a very melancholy acoustic tune, as are "Before The Vision" and "Reaching The End" from Night Of The Stormrider.

[[Music/IcedEarth This heavy metal band]] [[TearJerker has a few sad songs]].
----

* "Dracula" from their album ''Horror Show'', especially at the beginning.
* There's a smattering of very powerful moments in the "Gettysburg (1863)" trilogy ("The Devil To Pay", "Hold At All Costs" and "High-Water Mark") that may induce tears.
** But the beginning of "Hold at All Costs", where Confederate Brigadier General Armistead speaks about his dear friend, Union Brigadier General Winfield Hancock may be one of the strongest:
-->"The last time we were together\\
I grabbed his hand and I pledged\\
If I ever draw my sword on you\\
May the good lord strike me dead"
** Also tear-inducing, from "High-Water Mark".
-->"We're almost there my boys\\
I've never served with finer\\
We must push forward boys\\
And bayonet the Yankee tyrants!\\
To the copse of trees we charge\\
To crush the union center\\
And when they turn and run\\
An open road leads us to freedom!"
->As well as the ending:
-->It's over now, we are retreating\\
I never thought that we'd be beaten\\
All this blood is on my hands\\
The thousands dead due to my plan\\
I am responsible\\
All of this is my fault\\
I thought us invincible\\
Is this God's will, after all?\\
I look across this blood-soaked land\\
All this blood is on my hands!\\
God forgive me, please, forgive me!\\
It's all my fault! The blood is on my hands!
