Bob Marley

Reggae adalah genre musik pertama kali dikembangkan di Jamaika pada akhir tahun 1960. Meskipun kadang-kadang digunakan dalam pengertian yang lebih luas untuk merujuk pada sebagian besar jenis musik Jamaika, istilah reggae lebih baik menunjukkan gaya musik tertentu yang berasal dari pengembangan ska dan rocksteady.

Reggae didasarkan pada gaya ritmis yang ditandai dengan aksen pada off beat, yang dikenal sebagai skank tersebut. Reggae biasanya lebih lambat dari ska dan rocksteady [1]. Reggae biasanya mengaksen beat kedua dan keempat di masing-masing bar, dengan ritme gitar juga menekankan beat ketiga atau menahan akord pada ketukan kedua sampai keempat dimainkan. Dalam hal ini terutama "beat ketiga", kecepatan dan penggunaan garis bass reggae yang kompleks berbeda dari rocksteady, meskipun gaya inovasi ini kemudian dimasukkan secara terpisah.

FLORENCE + THE MACHINE LYRICS "Leave My Body"

I'm gonna be released from behind these lines
And I don't care whether I live or die
And I'm losing blood, I'm gonna leave my bones
And I don't want your heart it leaves me cold

FLORENCE + THE MACHINE LYRICS "All This And Heaven Too"

FLORENCE + THE MACHINE LYRICS "All This And Heaven Too"

And the heart is hard to translate
It has a language of its own
It talks and turns and courts sighs and present proclamations
In the grand days of great men and the smallest of gestures
And short shallow gasps

But with all my education I can’t seem to command it
And the words are all skipping and coming back all damaged
And I will put them back in poetry if I only knew how
I can’t seem to understand it

And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see
‘Cause I’ve been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all

And it talks to me in tiptoes
And sings to me inside
It cries out in the darkest night and breaks in morning light

But with all my education I can’t seem to command it
And the words are all skipping and coming back all damaged
And I will put them back in poetry if I only knew how
I can’t seem to understand it

And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see
‘Cause I’ve been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all

And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see
‘Cause I’ve been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all

No, words are a language that doesn’t deserve such treatment
That all of my stumbling phrases never amounted to anything worth this feeling

All this heaven never could describe such a feeling as I’m here

Words were never so useful ‘til I was screaming out a language that I never knew existed before

Before I can breathe easy.
And I’ve seen it in the flights of birds,

The blood running through.
But in order to get to the heart,

Thousand armies couldn't keep me out
I don't want your money

See I've come to burn your kingdom down

Holy water cannot help you now
See I've come to burn your kingdom down
And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out
I'm gonna raise the stakes, I'm gonna smoke you out

Seven devils all around me!
Seven devils in my house!
See they were there when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done

Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See I was dead when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done
Before the day is done

And now all your love will be exorcised
And we will find your sayings to be paradox
And it's an even sum
It's a melody
It's a final cry
It's a symphony

Seven devils all around me
Seven devils in my house
See they were there when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done

Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See I was dead when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done
Before the day is done
Before the day is done
Before the day is done

They can keep me out
'Til I tear the walls
'Til I save your heart
And to take your soul
For what has been done
Cannot be undone
In the evil's heart
In the evil's soul

Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See I was dead when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done
Before the day is done

Can you see it coming now?

Oh, I think I'm breaking down again
Oh, I think I'm breaking down

All alone
Even when I was a child
I've always known
There was something to be find

You know that I can see you coming from the edge of the room
Creeping in the streetlight
Holding my hand in the pale gloom
Can you see it coming now?

Oh, I think I'm breaking down again
Oh, I think I'm breaking down

All alone
On the edge of sleep
My old familiar friend
Comes and lies down next to me

And I can see you coming from the edge of the room
Smiling in the streetlight
Even with my eyes shut tight

Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play

And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around

All of these questions, such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues strong
But it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaaah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
And given half the chance would I take any of it back
It's a fine romance but it's left me so undone
It's always darkest before the dawn

Oh woah, oh woah...

And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my rope
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
Cause looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

And the screams from the mouths of babes
And we pray as were watching the charade
Welcome to your wedding day

And it's a damn good day
For the heart and the mind
And the party happened in here
If you'll advert your gaze form the word on the sign
Let me wispier it in your ear
Cause the sign says run [x5]

And you know its begun from the crack of the guns
And the screams from the mouths of babes
And we pray as where watching the charade

And we don't negotiate with terror

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Half Of Something Else"

In the night that we met
You said that you wanted
Something more from me

And it was all that I could do

I remember your face, like a child
The way that you blushed and
The way that you smiled

And that was all that I could do
So I woke up feeling new
You're so much more than I ever knew

So I think of all those times spent alone
It's like you're searching for something
To make you feel whole

Like a half of something else
Just a fraction of yourself

It's so hard, we did what we could
There were no easy answers
To be understood

And it was all that we could do
We're the only ones who knew
All I think about is you

The way that you laugh
The way that you smile
The way that you whispers
Told me all her fronts

The way that you told
Told me I was wrong

Ans the way that you'd sing
When you sing a song

And the way that you answered
You knew I was wrong

Now I tell you I would die
If it's what you'd rather see
And I don't care if its clever
I just want you with me

I'm only half of something else

You're such a strange girl,
You're such a strange strange girl.
You're such a strange girl.

It's all been arranged(?)
Everyone is telling me,
It's slightly deranged,
Everyone is telling me.

We traded blindness for some wisdom
& some lines around the eyes.
And you just act like it was a fact of life
It didn't come as a surprise.
You're such a strange girl,
You're such a strange strange girl.
You're such a strange girl.

And no you can't ever go home.
Everything has changed and people are gone.
So close your eyes and try to summon a song
and you feel your life falling under you like a (what?)

It was an old song,
I once knew every note and every line.
It was a long night,

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "All I Ever Wanted"

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "All I Ever Wanted"

I can only say these things to you while you're sleeping.
I hear the hum from the wires and the
Sounds of the morning creeping.
I lie awake and pretend, you can hear me.

And you tell me that your scared that you're
Turning into your mother.
I feel myself, turning into my father.
As we lie to each other like they do,
And say we're so happy.
It's easy when you're young and you still want it
So badly.

I turn over in bed and I feel my heart beating Faster,
I stare out the window and think I might Scream.

And I could tell you that you're all I ever Wanted,
Dear I could utter every word you'd ever
Hope to hear.
I shudder when I think that I might
Not be here forever, forever, forever.

The time we were alone together at the station.
You were so quiet like a child and you told me
You wanted to be taken.
I just never though of you as the kind of girl
Who would do that.
And you suddenly seem like
Some faceless thing in my grasp.

And I'd be lying if I said that I didn't find it
Exciting, your eyes so lit, your face so warm and
Inviting.

And I could tell you that you're all I ever
Wanted, dear I could utter every word you'd ever
Hope you'd hear.
I shudder when I think that I
Might not be here forever, forever, forever.

I could tell you that I'm always going to love
You like the virgin bride you were that night, but
I'd be lying.
Love is defying.

All I can think is that it must a kind of Rebellion,
To arm these fields like soldiers and Slay them.

I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted dear,
Through the din of your breathin while you're
Sleepin here, and you wake and you ask me if I'm
Gonna to be here forever, forever, forever.

Your face so twisted and your eyes alight,
I want to tell you I can save you when you cry at night.
But I'll be trying.
Love is defying.
Won't you stop crying?

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "I Don't Want To Be On T.V."

Beat by beat as Becky falls to sleep
She sits in her electric chair and watches the TV.
And its so quiet here in tonight, she looks skinny in the light,
In her under wire her face so fair, she’s higher than a kite.
She says: "well, what about me; am I dying silently?
Have you ever wanted anything so bad you couldn’t see?"

No oh oh;
no oh oh not me;
no oh oh...
I don’t wanna be on TV

And the man down at the TV station, cracks his knuckles bare.
He’s starin at a woman, she is starin back at him.
You can cut the tension with a knife; we’re expecting rain tonight.
There’s a weather system blowing in from Santa Ana all night.
She thinks: "well what about me? So what, you're on TV?
I don’t care about your pompous ass, I care about this baby."

No oh oh;
no oh oh not me;
no oh oh...
I don’t wanna be on TV

Everyone in this city seems to take it like a drug.
Sit up all night, faces so white, they just can’t get enough.
And the shows are all the same, and there’s something I can’t name.
The snickering on this flickering screen, the noise numbing my brain.
So I think: "Well, what about me? Will I just die silently?
With all these walls and bars and endless whores just dying next to me?

No oh oh;
no oh oh not me;
no oh oh...
I don’t wanna be on TV
No oh oh;
no oh oh not me;
no oh oh;
no oh oh...

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Neda"

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Neda"

I held my head in my hands, and I trembled.
The cries from the crowd and the girl in the camera.
I said, in a prayer, a kind of surrender I wished her peace, wondered what she rendered.

Neda, you made a place for the innocents, a prayer for the dissidents.
Afraid I gave up; I never thought the world could be so small.

And the loss of your innocence wasn’t enough, I guess.
The cost of what you’re holding in wasn’t everything.
All the leaders say, "they’ll forget someday,"
but what you’d live to see would take their breath away.

These ragged smoldering lines and these embers,
the cries in the night to say they remember the face of a girl,
who faithful and tender, wanted only peace and not to surrender.

Neda, your mother can’t cry for your memory or mourn for the tragedy.
They tore your grave up.
I never thought the world could be so small.

And the loss of your innocence wasn’t enough, I guess.
The cost of what you’re holding in wasn’t everything.
All the leaders say, "they’ll forget someday,"
but what you’d live to see would take their breath away.

And the flowers on your grave. ??
And the things you gave away were another kind that day.
And the flowers on your grave.

And the loss of your innocence wasn’t enough, I guess.
The cost of what you’re holding in wasn’t everything.
But all the people say, "we won’t forget the day, and what you lived to see takes our breath away."

Neda, you made a place for the innocents, a place for the dissidents.
We nearly gave up.
I never thought the world could be so small.

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "All At Once"

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "All At Once"

We were born without time
Nameless in the arms
Of a mother, a father, and God
When the world would wait for us
A thousand years in the crush
Of our eyes, fearless, in awe
So quietly, we?d fade into sleep
With nothing on our mind(s)
Hoo, hoo, hoo..
And then we long to be loved
In the rush, we become
Some things we thought we'd never be
We were surprised by our heart
Left weary and scarred
By the nights spent feeling incomplete
And all those evenings swearing at the sky
Wishing for more time
All the promises we broke when we tried
Just wastin' our time

Hoo, hoo..

We get old all at once
And it comes like a punch
In the gut, in the back, in the face
When it seems someone cried
And our parents have died
Then we hold onto each other in their place
And I feel the water risin' around us
Maybe that's okay
Yeah, I feel the world changin' all at once
I guess it'll be okay

Hoo, hoo, hoo..

And we all had one hope
There was someone lookin' down
When we return our bodies to each other
And the ground

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Numb"

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Numb"

I've been in a daze
It seems like days that I've been waiting
For this dream to pass
It goes so fast
It seems nothing lasts
I think I've lost something

Stuck here with these people
While you wake I crush our bodies in one space
I feel your heart blood from my tongue
I wonder where you've gone

And the ever turning spinning wheel of people, places
Lies I feel
The restless beat of the sleepless night to come
I just want to be numb
I just want to be numb

Hopeless these three years like smoking years
I go from place to place
Just endlessly and half asleep
Like I'm falling alone at some endless breach

I don't know where I am
I don't know what I've done
I just go over it again and again and again
I can't sleep at night
I cant breathe
But If I drink tonight I'll get you off my mind

And the ever present pit I feel
I'm turning on some spinning wheel
Of faces and the scenes I see
And none of it seems real to me
Just the bleary haze of the morning still to come

I just want to be numb [x5]

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "The Kids Are Ready To Die"

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "The Kids Are Ready To Die"

All these inanimate places feel like they're changing.
The kids all lined up on the wall like they're ready to die.
These arms are sending, (?) it's like they just rearrange them.
We were caged up like animals and questioned and ready to cry!

'Cause I was just 13 when I got my first taste of danger.
I was standing by the church, I had a bottle and a pen in my hand.
Oh I said "father, I'm sorry, I just don't know what to do with this anger.
This behavior is collectible, I know this wasn't part of your plan."

But little fucks like us, we were always receiving instruction.
You could burn off clothes, you could wash out the ink and the dye
But you can't look me in the eye and say you don't feel like a little destruction.
And the kids are lined up on the wall and they're ready to die.
And the kids are lined up on the wall and they're ready to die.

All these days just seem like they're getting longer.
The view from our room is a gloomy and overcast grey.
The weakness we left behind seems to be getting stronger.
I swear there's something in the air, and I don't know what anyone could say.

'Cause I saw the news this morning, there was another
Boy by the side of the road, he had a gun in his hand.
I thought "What could you say to make it ever make sense to his mother?
'Oh ma'am, he was excitable, we were just trying to make him a man.'"

But the day will come when it falls like a cheap house of plastic.
And the cards we were dealt, tossed like a storm in the sky.
'Cause you can only lie for so long before you get something drastic
And the kids are lined up on the wall and they're ready to die.
And the kids are lined up on the wall and they're ready to die.

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Changing"

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Changing"

All these buckets of rain, I've heard enough about.
You say that I lied.
I am a gentleman didn't I ask for a place I could stay?
What were we both thinking?
The next part just got in the way.
You were just always talking about changing, changing
What if I was the same then, same then, the same I always was?

All these things that you say,
like I'll forget about the mind-numbing games that you play.
I am a gentleman, didn't I pay for every laugh every dime,
every bit every time and then you feed me some line.
I want here .. my what about changing, changing
Guess what I am the same man, same man, same man I've always been.

Days pass and turn into weeks, when we don't even speak.
We just lay wide awake and pretend we're asleep.
You go home alone and you're checking your phone
and you're looking at me like I'm something you own.

All these buckets of rain, you can't forget about it, you say I never tried.
I am a gentleman, didn't I answer every time that you call, pick you up when you fall
But you never listen at all
You were just always talking about changing, changing
Guess what I am the same man, same man.
Changing, changing
Guess what I am the same man, same man.
Changing, changing
Guess what I am the same man, same man.

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "All For A Woman"

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "All For A Woman"

All of these grateful looks
All these grateful eyes
All the furious stares and the fretful sighs

Promising everything
To everyone
We'll be back soon
You're my favorite one

And I'll keep it quiet
I'll hold you dear
The whispering fills the ear

Tell me you'll stay
We would have such fun
And the lie, you don't need anyone

And the screams, the wails, and the call
The headiness of the fall
Ten-thousand miles from where we began
I fell asleep with a picture in hand
It was all for a woman

Say that you're grateful for the time alone
Two years away and I don't miss home
And everyone asks you if you still think of her
So you smile politely and you demur

But then all at once your head starts to swim
And you can feel her breath on your skin
If I let you stay, the same spot today
She's above you, below you in ways

And you're shivering cold
Like you're just 10 years old
And she's lying asleep in your bed

And you're standing beside her
The light from inside her
Filling up the darkness in your head
It was all for a woman

You've drowned in the teasing
You've forgotten the reason
The muse inspired the art

You'd give anything for
For her to say them once more
The words you believed at the start

Ten-thousand miles from where it began
Falling asleep with a picture in hand
And it was all... it was all
For the look in her eyes
Of the promise of the lie of a woman

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "It Doesn't Mean A Thing"

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "It Doesn't Mean A Thing"

I never knew my mother
I can't say it was so bad
She was still a girl of seventeen the night she met my dad
He was just six months out of chino
Trying his hardest to stay clean
And they'd sing and they'd sing and they'd sing
Like doves sleeping with broken wings
In a bed fit for a king
It didn't mean a thing

It was shot gun forest wedding
And they forgot to bring the gun
As they were busy counting promises
To the children not yet born
No one could afford the ride
Everyone hitched up with the 101

And they'd sing and they'd sing and they'd sing
Like doves dancing with broken wings
With a view fit for a king
It didn't mean a thing

It was a loneliness
They would confess
Like the world had gone bad I guess
So they hold hands and look into the eyes of god
They'd say tell me why'd ya hide from us
Why'd ya fill the world with wickedness
Why'd ya spare us from the grace but not the rot

Now my dad says fuck the details
Just keep your head down hard
Ya got to find yourself alone before you'll find the eyes of God
You make broke and scared and out of jail
Out the flesh of your own heartstrings
But you were born to be a peasant not a king
So just stop acting like your running from something
Ya gonna leave the way you came without a thing
With your heart tattooed and your mind tied to a string

You just sing and you sing and you sing
It doesn't mean a thing

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Something New"

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Something New"

What's passed these hands?
All these drugs and one night stands
So I tremble when I think of what she'd do
She'd say something like, "You're no good,
You're like the junkies in this neighborhood"
We all need a fix, I guess I need one too
But I'm trying madly to calm these nerves with something new

I got this heavy debt, I've got nothing left
But this daunting weight slung 'round my neck
You got the callous mouth, all your endless doubts
We spent this fifteen weeks, trying to work it out
Do you think we're getting to something new?

Oh God, not another fight
I'm always trying to get the details right
I remember when you told me you felt saved
When you promised you'd lay flowers on my grave
Just like they used to do
Is it something new?

And now here I stand with these blood soaked hands
On this sleepless night, that never ends
And these songs I sing
With these hopes that I cling to
Desperately wondering
Are we finally getting to something new?

Is it something new?
Are we finally to something new?

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Missy"

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Missy"

Missy got off the bus one day in a crowded depot, downtown LA
She looked around as if to say, 'I'm home'
Well I'm home

I find someone to love
And some place to drink
And some time when I can just sit and think
And I don't mind if I catch the stink of these drones
Lord, of these drones
Just as long as I'm never alone

She had eyes as big as porcelain plates
And skin as thin as paper drapes
And she loved the Lord the way an apostate loves songs
And she'd sing to him before she went to sleep,
"I pray to you, my soul to keep
You're shepherd, then I'll be your sheep until dawn
Oh until dawn
Well I'd follow you, even if it was wrong"

I met her one night at the coffee shop
Her face so bright, my heart just stopped
Hello my dear, I fear I'm not what I seem
Not what I seem
I should've become a better man
I should be more deserving than
The beggar, thief, and courtesan I've been
Oh, that I've been
Well I swear, I lie, I curse all of my dreams

But I swear there's still some good in me
And I think if you stuck around you'd see
All the honest attempts at integrity, I was had
Maybe if you helped me, I'd get it right
I stay awake every night, staring at the ceiling
Wondering why I feel so bad, why I feel so bad
Oh I swear, I swear, I swear I'll never get sad

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Innocence"

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Innocence"

Well, I lost my innocence today
I could feel her in my bones
My bones, my bones, my bones
My blood, my blood, my blood, my blood

And I woke up, tired, scared, and sad
Soaked, drained, I felt so bad
Today, today, today
What you still, you still, you still, you still
Won't you say, you say, you say, you say
What you feel, you feel, you feel, you feel
Which is nothing but hollow feelings, yeah
I am done, I just don't care

And forget happiness, I'm fine
I'll forget everything in time
I swear I didn't know,
You know me, how I can't let go
And we're not gods, we're just hacks
All that life amongst the cracks
The scars, the siege that breaks
The ugliest scene, the worst mistakes
And everywhere I see her face
Such a beautiful child, such an awful waste
And there's no innocence like hers
Just emptiness and nerves

And this light from the window of my car
She'll never see it
Oh my God
I was so surprised, it blew up in my face
Lord, I lost my nerve, oh my God
Oh my God
Oh my
God

And I tear, I tear, so hard
And I tear, I tear, so hard
And I beg and scream, "I was wrong"
It's over, she's gone

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "The Winning Side"

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "The Winning Side"

Well I made some mistakes
At least privately it takes
And here's another one
And I said "it would be okay"
"But that's a lie, man"
I mean..
"Hey, we're all dying.. young!!"
Now it's all reality.. but it's more like a terrifying dream
And I'm serious!!
It's either whiskey, or a bong, or a car crash, or a bomb
I'm serious!!
It's the only thing I think
When I wake up in my bed
With my stomach churns, as these pages turn
Is the world burnin'
Or is it only.. in my head??

On a screen on a tv
On a scene in front of me
With all the white woods n the static
And the static n the screams
This is war, this is death, this is really very bad
On the winning side, the winning side,
The winning side, the winning side

And I'm sick of the train
Over Brooklyn in the rain
All by myself
When it finally occurs to me..
That all these people wanna be
Just some where.. else
Like every day is just the last bit
To argue with your boss over a coffee break
Well it seems to me, I mean, want more dignity
Or I'm going to.. break
Because the only thing I think
When he walks out on the street
He says, the sky falls
And you're duty calls man,
It takes some balls to be
So I'll see..

On a screen on a tv
On a scene in front of me
With all the white woods n the static
And the static n the screams
This is war, this in death. this is really very bad
On the winning side, the winning side
The winning side, the winning side
The right side, the right side
Oh the shit you watch
When your parents cry
And it all falls away so quietly
When you wake up to reality..

A Reality??
What's reality?? What's reality?? What's reality??
YOU DON'T FUCKING BREAK!!

Well I got a brother in Iraq
I got no way to get him back
Like all those people in the sands,
Buried in Afghanastan
I got a child in a crib
I got a father in a bed
I got no pills
I got no skittles
I know I do what I did
I just wonder every second
As they wheel the bastards by
Are we living??
Are we dreaming??
Are we winning??
Were we dying..
In a cloud of dust
In a mushroom burst
In a series of deaths
As the agents burst??
Or all alone in a hospital bed??
Wondering what we might of done instead??

With a lifetime..
A lifetime, a lifetime, a lifetime
A lifetime, a lifetime, a lifetime
A lifetime, a lifetime, a lifetime
With a good attitude..
Yeah, we did our job
But can you tell me,
Exactly what was our job??
Well I'm still stuck
With this body of mine
Well were you inside,
when a militant died??
I hope you choke..
I.. Own.. Your Life!!

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "This Losing"

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "This Losing"

Standing at your doorway
With my stomach all tangled n tight
Have it your way
Oh God, where are you tonight??
Cuz I don't know what I'm doing here
Or where to begin
So take a deep breath
But darling, don't let me in

A thousand times we've said,
"I'm sorry it's over again"
I can't live like this
Or feel like this in my own skin
It all seems so degrading
And the mourning such sin
Face just like a child's
Oh darling, don't let me in

And we laughed just like children
In waiting, in sheets on your bed
Why we secretly pray
Like we're mourning the dead
And you tell me you're so weary
I know
Cuz I'm weary too
But hold back a tear
But darling, what a way to do

[Instrumental to outro]

And the wine, and the rain
And the feel of your skin
Against mine
I'm swimming, I'm flying, I'm dying
This face n this fear
Stay with me, Oh stay with me my dear

This hand
This glow
It's only thing that I love

There's losing
There's losing
There's losing
There's losing
There's losing
There's losing love

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "The Girls In Their Summer Dresses"

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "The Girls In Their Summer Dresses"

It's so quiet on this wind swept day
The city's lights
And the golden rays
Of sunlight on a subway'a tracks
Are you mad again??
If you like
I'll take it back
They're just your feelings
I wasn't looking at her hands
Oh, do you mean it??

It's so lonesome
In "this happens" stance
If you asked me?
Yes, I'd like to dance
Just show me a glove-covered hand
A perfumed dress is more than I can stand..
And you approach me with your hollow hearted hand
And you tell me:
"It's uncivilized
It's unfair to me
The blues, the grays, the olive greens"
I'll take you far away from me

The girls in their summer dresses see
Though you don't notice
They all look back at me
Is this on purpose??

Oh no, no, no..
Oh no, no, no..
Oh no, no, no..

May offer to you..
This, my olive branch??
It's not as though they're always so keen
And we're both just the victims of circumstance
Do you understand,
Do you know what I mean??

Oh no, no, no..
Oh no, no, no..
Oh no, no, no..
Oh no, no, no..

I'm a husband first
I'm a childless curse
I'm a faithful man
With a face that's blessed
I'll stay with you
Oh please don't sigh
I try to explain
But you would cry, and cry, and cry
And you hate me
When I asked the reason why
You'll trade me a dollar for some sense?
But don't blame me
I was only making sense
Oh I'm so sorry
I was only making sense

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "This Is Nowhere"

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "This Is Nowhere"

We all sit on the curb
And we stare at the rain in our boots
The car, the clouds, the sky
While Ishmael wraps himself in the sheet again
He'll clench the fists and close his eyes
I don't know how many times I can loan him my cigarettes
When I don't even know if he's alive
Do prophets lie?
It makes me feel less horrified

And my closet's filled with
All these endless accouterments
These shoes, these scars, these shirts, these ties
And these things I say to make myself feel good again
I'll speak, I'll write, I'll laugh, I'll lie
I can't bear to sit here and drink myself sick again
Another night
When everything I know was just a lie
And I don't even know where I'll sleep tonight

I got nothing to do but stare at these walls
And take some time to screw my head on right
We all ended up alone, wasted here at Silver Lake
We'll work, we'll feed, we'll change, we'll try
I can't make any sense of this or you or anything
I'm wide awake, and all our parents lied
It's not alright, and all our words collide
Awake all night

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Sometime Around Midnight"

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Sometime Around Midnight"

And it starts
Sometime around midnight
Or at least that's when you lose yourself
For a minute or two

As you stand
Under the bar lights
And the band plays some song about forgetting yourself for a while
And the piano's this melancholy soundtrack to her smile
And that white dress she's wearing, you haven't seen her
For a while

But you know
That she's watching
She's laughing, she's turning
She's holding her tonic like a cross
The room suddenly spinning, she walks up and asks how you are
So you can smell her perfume
You can see her lying naked in your arms

And so there's a change
In your emotions
And all of these memories come rushing like feral waves to your mind
Of the curl of your bodies, like two perfect circles entwined
And you feel hopeless, and homeless, and lost in the haze of the wine

And she leaves
With someone you don't know
But she makes sure you saw her, she looks right at you and bolts
As she walks out the door
Your blood boiling, your stomach in ropes
And then your friends say "What is it? You look like you've seen a ghost."

And you walk
Under the streetlights
And you're too drunk to notice that everyone's staring at you
You don't care what you look like
The world is falling around you

You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her

You know that she'll break you in two

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Does This Mean You're Moving On?"

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Does This Mean You're Moving On?"

And the funny thing is, it has no end
I try to call you up, at 2am
In a crowded bar, your ringer tones
Grab my mind

I can see you through the phone,
The phone, the phone
And I'm wide awake at home
At home, at home
So I think I'll see my coquette
And hope you don't catch
The bourbon on my breath
My breath, my breath

Catch a cab outside on Seventh Street
And the cars fly through the Bowery
I come to your door and I hear a moan
Then another voice, so Christ, she's not alone
Alone, alone
And my heart sinks like a stone
A stone, a stone
And the tears won't even come
I feel so numb
So swept aside, so dumb
So dumb, so dumb

When the words are wrong
And my patience gone
Will you tell me
Does this mean you're moving on?

From the balcony, you call my name
I see you standing in the rain
Your words so dry, your face so wet
Said I broke your heart,
But it hasn't happened yet
I'll bet, your friends all hate me now
I get the strangest looks,
From that bitchy crowd
And though, they must think
They have every reason to
I guess I'm still not quite yet over you

When the words are wrong
And you're hanging on
Another guy's arm
Does this mean you're moving on?

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Happiness Is Overrated"

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Happiness Is Overrated"

And speaking of
Little Miss Catherine
I feel swell, oh well
Because losing you
Was something I always...

Did so well
I guess I just can't tell anymore
And the feeling I get when I see your clothes spread out on my floor
Oh, I'm such a bore, I'm such a bore
I don't do anything anymore
I just count these ceiling tiles falling to my floor

Sorry, I nearly lost my head
I'm sorry, I nearly lost my head
But you know those words that you said
They get stuck here in my head
And this feeling I dread, it makes me wish I was dead
Or just alone instead, I'll be alone instead
I don't need anyone in this bed
Just these ceiling tiles falling through my head

Sorry, I really lost my head
I'm so sorry, I really lost my head
Oh, those words you said

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Gasoline"

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Gasoline"

..Five, six, seven, eight!

All the time, awake
You're still on my mind
But we were on our own
Almost all the time

And she'll step away
For a second or two
And I close my eyes
And I think of you

We were only seventeen
We were holding in our screams
Like we'd torn it from the pages of some lipstick magazine
And you scratch and turn
And say, "let's burn ourselves up 'til we scream"
Like gasoline

Those tender days
At your mother's house
And your father would find my hand inside your blouse

But they tell me that
You're married now
Oh my dear, I fear I can't understand how

When we were only seventeen
We were holding back our screams
Like we'd torn our lives from the pages of some girly magazines
And you scratch and turn
And say, "let's burn these sheets down to the seams"
Like gasoline

I was only twenty one
I wasn't having any fun
And the words you said tore through my head
Like bullets from a gun
And I shoulda just shown up and said,
"Get in this car, let's run"

And these years have seen so many imitations turning green
Each like the last, they go right past like credits on a screen
But your memory blazes through me
Burning everything
Like gasoline
Like gasoline
Like gasoline

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Papillon"

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Papillon"

All dressed up, no place to run
No car, no girl, no pills, no fun
Nothing to do in this empty room
I gotta get my head together soon

Alone again, no plans, no friends
You call me up at half past ten
You say "How are you holding up my friend?
Are you sitting around getting drunk again?"

And I hear the desperation of those lines
Wasted hours, all this wasted time
Oh yeah, I been just fine!

Then you're at my door in an hour more
I stumble down from the second floor
And we're swaying and braying
We don't know what we're saying

And you grab my shirt, you're way so curt
I swear to God that this doesn't hurt
When you stare like that, you put on that act
You say something and then you take it back

And I feel as though I've done something wrong
Oh, how I miss you and your gun

And I wish I had the guts to scream,
"You know, things aren't always what they seem"
When you walk away, I want you to stay
Don't leave me here to pace and pray

All these nights I burnt, the hours I turned
You think that by now I learned
That you're only what you pretend to be
I guess that was just lost on me

I can't stand the way you look at me in that dress
Oh, happy, I will be alright I guess
If I wasn't such a mess

I'm such a mess

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Wishing Well"

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT "Wishing Well"

Standing on a bus stop
Feeling your head pop
Out in the night
In the kind of night
Where you want to be out
On the street, on the street
Crawling up the walls
Like a cat in heat

And the air is thin
And it blows through your skin
And you feel like something
Is about to begin
But you don't know what
And you don't know when
So you tear at your hair
And you scratch at your skin

You wanna run away, run away
Just get on the fucking train and leave today
And it doesn't matter where you spend the night
You just might end up somewhere in a fight, in a fight
Or calling your room on a concrete shelf
Fighting all alone, with yourself, with yourself
And you just wanna feel like a coin that's been tossed
In a wishing well, a wishing well
A wishing well, a wishing well
Well you're tossed in the air
And you fell and you fell
Through the dark blue waters
Where you cast your spell
Like you were just a wish that could turn out well

So you stand on the corner
Where the angels sit
And you think to yourself,
"This is it, this is it
This is all that I have
All I can stand
Is this air in my lungs
And this coin in my hand."
That you tossed in the air
And I fell, and I fell
All the way to the bottom
Of the well, of the well
Like those soft little secrets
That you tell, that you tell
To yourself when you think
No one's listening too well

And the walls spin
And you're paper-thin
From the haze of the smoke
And the mess calling
The threat of your brow
Under unmade sheets
In your ear with the noise
From the darkest streets
We ran far and wide
You screamed, you cried
You thought suicide was an alibi
But you were always a mess
You were always aloof
Yeah, it's awful, I guess
But it's the awful truth
It was truth from the first
To the last words that she read

And she emerged from the dark
Like a ghost in my head
She said, "I haven't forgot
Any words that you said
I just stare at the clocks
And I cry in my sleep
And I tear up your letters
And I burn them in heaps
And I gather the ashes
In that hole in the ground
Where we fell"

DRAGONFORCE "E. P. M. (Extreme Power Metal)"

 DRAGONFORCE "E. P. M. (Extreme Power Metal)"

In a lifetime of decay
Sudden cry for yesterday,
When the world will see the end of eternity
Sacrifice before the dawn
Of a child soon to be born
Before the night too many tears we cried

In a long forgotten land
Through the silent raging pain
Of the price to pay that awaits for me
The end of all our destiny

Don't close your eyes tonight
For the lights beyond still shine towards a brighter day
The time has come for us tread blood across the sands
Carry on as the red rivers run

And through the wilderness we feel the pouring rain
In the silence ever searching on through the misery
And all the promises we made and cried in vain
Don't you take the time to realise the master of disguise?

Blind my eyes burning forever to wash my sins away
Out of the dark pain is the price
Fly away out of the raging storm
Lost within my memories
Still haunting me
A never ending story

Far and wide forever on
Stand before the world alone we journey to the other side
Raise your hands to the sky
Through the night and through the day
Don't look back no time to pray
The battle rages on marching on and on

Don't cry for me tonight
For the lights beyond will guide me home tomorrow
The time will come for us the curse is growing strong
Carry on with the rise of the sun

So take me far away it's time to set me free
All my life I have been waiting but I could never see
Raising your hands to the sky
Turning your eyes to the sun
Pray for forgiveness
The power to save has gone for the last time

Blind my eyes burning forever to wash my sins away
Out of the dark pain is the price
Fly away out of the raging storm
Lost within my memories
Still haunting me
A never ending story

Blind my eyes burning forever to wash my sins away
Out of the dark pain is the price
Fly away out of the raging storm
Lost within my memories
Still haunting me
A never ending story

DRAGONFORCE "Scars Of Yesterday"

DRAGONFORCE "Scars Of Yesterday"

Suffer the raging anger creeping below
Trapped in the circle, so helpless
Forces beyond
This is your last chance to die

I hear a thousand voices screaming my name
Dreams of a life forgotten now will be gone
Never to return again

Hide from the light, you feel so hypnotized
Filtered and disguised
Burning forever, try to remember
Sadness in her eyes

So many times now we've been here before
No more illusions behind the open door
Trapped within my fierce desire, resistance is futile
Screaming for your life, nowhere to hide
Tonight we cross the line, your innocence is mine

Falling down, my life fading now to the end
One last chance of glory in my heart again
Set me free from craving the one thing I can't have inside of me
But is it all a waste of time?

Lost in a misery, the fatal demise
Forced to a living that no one can understand
Hiding behind all the lies

A long time in slavery, it cries out in vain
Lurking around the shadows until the end
Fearless in fatal disguise

Wake from the dream, the life you left behind
Time to understand
Lost in the laughter, life everafter
Trials of a broken man

And through this madness a new day will rise
We shall remember the pain she held inside
Fear the pain inside my heart, our sacrifice in vain
Screaming for your life, nowhere to hide
This everlasting strain, driving you insane

Falling down, my life fading now to the end
One last chance of glory in my heart again
Set me free from craving the one thing I can't have inside of me
But is it all a waste of time?

Still lost in the universe, we cry for a new day to come
Break free from our loneliness, the last time
Pray tonight as we try to understand

Falling down, my life fading now to the end
I'm alive forever, my soul will ascend
One last chance of glory in my heart again
Set me free from this craving the one thing I can't have inside of me
Just a memory
Or is it all a waste of time?

DRAGONFORCE "Strike Of The Ninja"

DRAGONFORCE "Strike Of The Ninja"

Eternal temptation, their eyes to the sky
This nightmare is everywhere, my eyes open wide
Crash on through troubled waters, oceans collide
We stand alone until the end, we fight side by side

Standing strong together, marching forever on
Fire in the heavens, now that our time has come

We feel the fire burning bright in the night
Where the warrior lives and the warrior dies
Wherever you go, we will be by your side
For the Spirit of Ninja will carry the night

The sky will turn black as nightfall appears
The hatred surrounding, they hide in great fear
The evil all around, the sound they will hear
Will not be for long now, the time it is near

Raising hell forever, still millenniums go by
Fire in the heavens, bleeding ears hear the cry

We feel the fire burning bright in the night
Where the warrior lives and the warrior dies
Wherever you go, we will be by your side
For the Spirit of Ninja will carry the night

Standing strong together, marching forever on
Fire in the heavens, now that our time has come

We feel the fire burning bright in the night
Where the warrior lives and the warrior dies
Wherever you go, we will be by your side
For the Spirit of Ninja tonight

We feel the fire burning bright in the night
Where the warrior lives and the warrior dies
Wherever you go, we will be by your side
For the Spirit of Ninja will carry the night

With the ninja forever, tonight!

DRAGONFORCE "The Warrior Inside"

DRAGONFORCE "The Warrior Inside"

Sonic fires bring mass devastation,
Manic search in sad desperation,
Jeopardise the right to hide from a sad existence,
Nothing left, still searching for something,
Deep beneath the cries
Wait for the deafening silence, fly forever more.

Crushed by the thought that you're all alone, cravation in her eyes,
I will be waiting tomorrow,
Striving to understand, wasting a life not meant to be,
Twisted and so broken once again,
And the promises we cast away will shine a guiding light,
Victim of your grief and denial.

[Chorus:]
Take my hand, this one last time,
Face the world before us, the warrior inside,
In a lifetime of disaster, it's a battle to the end,
Final stand, my life must carry on,
And forever, this time.

Battered, beaten, forced to submission,
Stricken by your fatal decision,
Suddenly it's time to say your last goodbyes,
Misery remains voluntary, all illusion gone,
Break through the blistering madness,
Free forever more.

Blinded my eyes with your filtering mutation cast aside,
I'll still be waiting tomorrow,
Stand to a toxic man, forced to a life of yesterday,
Theatre of salvation crushed and burned,
Down this lonely road, recede the day our dreams are brushed,
Can't regain this emptiness in time.

[Chorus]

See through the skies,
Far beyond the road tonight,
Here the sounds of freedom ring,
In a silent dream, and a million miles away.

See through the skies, far beyond our world tonight,
Hear the sounds of freedom ring,
In a silent dream,
And a million miles away.

Reach for the stars,
And live our lives forever free,
In our hearts for a thousand years,
And a thousand lifetimes before.

And the dawn of a new day will rise, a light for us all.

DRAGONFORCE "Inside The Winter Storm"

DRAGONFORCE "Inside The Winter Storm"

Strangers they come with the rise of the sun,
To escape from this madness forever,
Rivers will dry, bringing holes in the sky,
As the empire is fading away.

Silently march now, where the lost souls run wild,
In a time long forgotten, forever,
Pain brings us sadness at the dawn of the world,
But this nightmare will still carry on.

Through the day we'll find a way, we're lost beneath the stars,
Faceless they fall now, and we all stand as one,
Long wasted tears, but a light forever shining,
One stand one last demand to end it all.

[Pre chorus:]
Outside the world in a fallen land, turn away from our despair,
We stand alone in a silent dream, lost within eternally,
Whoa, oh oh ohh,
Whoa, oh oh oh ohh,
Rise again and try to understand.

[Chorus:]
A light for the world will save us tonight,
Redemption still so far away,
Marching on inside of our loneliness,
Still searching for all that remains.

And time will pass me by,
But I'm not so far away,
We're the sons of the land, our lifeblood runs into the ocean,
Tomorrow we're gone, our souls rising up to the sun.

[Chorus]

It's just one wasted man in one wasted land,
Suffering, still burning, so alive,
It's just one wasted man, in one wasted land,
Until the end of time,
Inside the winter storm.

[Pre chorus]

[Chorus]

It's just one wasted man, in one wasted land,
Suffering so far, and so alive,
It's just one wasted man, in one wasted land,
Until the end of time,
Inside the winter storm.

Inside the winter storm !

DRAGONFORCE "A Flame For Freedom"

DRAGONFORCE "A Flame For Freedom"
[Chorus:]
One dream in all of us still shining,
One star, the ever lasting light,
So alone, so lost inside, to the end in paradise,
United, victorious, the hearts of our nation tonight.

In the dark December morning light,
Fall strong to the burning winds, the fires of Hell will forsake me,
Shattering the chains that ever bind us,
Suffering their pain eternally.

Four strong, smash the silence, carry on like before,
Fires burn, still we battle, lost so far away,
Storm with hell fire raging, sun shines down as they kneel,
Lost in times and long forgotten, gathering miles away.

Tears fall inside the dream, our last days gone by,
Still alive we feel the pain tonight,
Stars fall through blackened clouds, in dreams sadness reigns,
A twilight star in the thousand lights for me.

Ohhhhhhhhh.

[Chorus]

And still we save a breath for the world,
Life brings up for us all,
United, victorious, the hearts of our nation tonight.

One dream in all of us still shining,
One star, the ever lasting light...

[Chorus]

And still we save a breath for the world,
Life brings up for us all,
United, victorious, the hearts of our nation tonight.

United, victorious, the hearts of our nation tonight.

DRAGONFORCE "Heartbreak Armageddon"

DRAGONFORCE "Heartbreak Armageddon"

Highway of emptiness outside the burning world,
Rise again this quest for our salvation,
Running faster, the savage laughter, the daylight fades away,
Nothing left but the life we left behind,
Ever searching the hidden faces, the hatred grows inside,
Broken man and a family left destroyed.

Light years away, empty words between us,
So turn away and say goodbye for the last time tonight,
Still lost within the loneliness a lifetime ago,
Hanging on as we passed through the fields,
These pieces of our lives will lead the long journey home,
And the wounds never heal

[Chorus:]
So fly for the last time, and the fire burns within,
Silently we stand in a long forgotten wasteland,
Rise through the lost ages, hope they will bring,
Free forever more and the dream will never die.

Devastation, a lost connection, a beatdown man returns,
So confused and alone for one more time,
Crushed defeated, the fog surrounding, a prisoner trapped inside,
System down feel the veins erupt tonight.

Time after time, promises of freedom,
We'll leave the past behind and strike for the first time tonight,
Still mystified by lack of cravation they show,
After all of the trials we've been through,
These memories and empty words were all lost in vain,
And the scars never heal.

[Chorus x3]

Whoa, oh, oh,
And the dream will never die.

DRAGONFORCE "The Last Journey Home"

 DRAGONFORCE "The Last Journey Home"

Strangers to reason, our bleeding hearts so cold,
Life brings a change in season, fear will blind the soul,
In the silence one moment alone,
Cast away scattered far on the wasteland.

Sever the soul from the forgotten sickness, escape this life,
Challenge the dream before the long departed a mindless rhyme,
Whoa, oh, oh,
Hear the burning thunder roar,
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh.

Whoa, oh, oh,
Still lost in a fire storm,
Tonight we feel the past return.

Lost inside the dream, pass by the life we'll live forever,
Still the wasted time left burning below
One thousand shattered voices, lost inside in endless wonder,
Tonight her voice will take me home.

[Chorus:]
Shine glorious we run, we stare into the blackened sky,
Save the last command, the virtue blinding,
So far beyond the sun, still burning with the fire inside,
Once alone again, silent stares for our last journey home.

Paralysed, intensified mutation, frustration,
Everlasting lifetime in the underworld,
We'll travel endlessly, deluded, disjointed,
One man can't understand this sad misery.

Whoa, oh oh oh ohh,
Whoa, oh oh ohh,
Whoa, oh oh oh oh oh ohh.

They've taken my heart,
They've taken my soul,
And now we stand alone insanity.

In time we'll see the past unwind,
Alive, still wandering our fallen land,
One more time we stare into the blackened sky,
For tonight, in our hearts now we feel,
One last time see our destiny revealed.

[Chorus]

Shine glorious tonight, still blinded by the blackened sun,
Save the last command, forever rising,
So far beyond they come, still burning with the fire inside,
Once alone again, silent stares for our last journey home.

DRAGONFORCE "Reasons To Live"

DRAGONFORCE "Reasons To Live"

Once again I'm here alone, my secret life awaits me,
Still a thousand miles away from a land of broken dreams,
Night falls and the screen is shining, force deception behind the lines,
Hours wasted aimlessly gone, time and time again.

[Pre-chorus:]
Try to understand, desperately lost with a dream in my hand,
Will you wait alone for me tonight?
Hold me, save me.

[Chorus:]
A star shines in all of us, we'll search for all our lives,
One day we'll find a way, and a reason to survive,
Cry for the day to return, life no one can understand,
We all face our fears in the world,
We all hold our place in the universe,
For eternity...

Hide the lines deceive myself, erase the past from my space,
Images of loneliness sent far across the land,
Once sure, but my eyes are blinded,
Frantic charge for a place to hide
Lost generations apart, an ancient life returns.

Kindness in her eyes, taken away by a man in disguise,
Won't you wait alone again tonight?
Save me, take me.

[Chorus]
[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

DRAGONFORCE "The Fire Still Burns"

DRAGONFORCE "The Fire Still Burns"

Finally all the world will see,
Rise again before the endless silence,
Burn the soul before we'll all be free,
Light the path beneath a blackened, burning sky.

One final sacrifice, this night belongs to me,
Turn back before the dawn of winter,
So far away the cry set fallen angels free,
Through my mind tonight, our journey ever after.

Never ending solitude, this is your life to be,
So cold and dark, the voice of sadness,
Suffering in endless pain, the truth of all to be,
Crawling back to life through ever-blinding darkness.

Free falling, fates warning, find a life to hold on,
Souls stealers, true believers, rise now they are gone,
And as they ride away forsake the one to save us,
Winters mourning of a lost fallen world,
Pray now united in a lifetime alone,
Won't you wait for the silence so strong?
Wait for the dawn.

[Chorus:]
Tonight, falling like the rain insanity lives on,
Feel the shattered dreams, one thousand voices crying,
Raging endlessly they come, whoa,
And the morning light will hide the darker days gone by,
And the sun will shine again across the blazing skies,
Glorious eternally we'll rise above the world,
Marching on till victory we fight,
The fire still burns...

Looking back our passing lives, their memories to see,
Flick through the passages of silence,
Hidden by the sacrifice to set the demons free,
Now they understand reclaim the land relentless.

Fear calling, transforming, stand alone in our time,
Advocation, desolation, slay the vision divine,
And all the stars fall around the world tonight,
Silent forces from a past life return,
Pray for the silence in a world so alone,
Til' we touch the horizon beyond,
Fly through the storm.

[Chorus]

The tears in your eyes,
A lifetime of misery,
In silence we stand all alone for the fate of our own destiny,
A lifetime of lies,
One chance at this fantasy,
The judgement will pass for the cries of the world that has faded from me.

Whoa, oh oh oh,
Whoa, oh oh oh,
Whoa, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhh,
Whoa, oh oh oh,
Whoa, oh oh oh,
Whoa, oh oh oh oh oh ohhhh oh oh oh.

[Chorus]
