When the sirens sing again...
He is sitting on a hill
A vapid night is crawling through the vale
The trees are fangs of transiency
The demons forge hammers and nails
When the sirens sing again...
He will travel all the ways
That lead to the unknown lands
Time has distorted his view
An amen in his due
When the sirens sing again...
All right
On the sea they heard the voices sing
But through the storm the island's closes in
Heard tales of lives lost at sea
Deserted beach just beyond the reach
You're approaching the island of the
Sirens, sirens
Hungry for man tonight
Sirens, sirens
Claiming the sailors' lives
Nine men made it to a shore
A night of terror, lies neatly in store
Who are those women, are they real?
Is this just a crazy dream?
You're approaching the island of the
Sirens, sirens
Hungry for flesh tonight
Sirens, sirens
Claiming the sailors' lives
Terror happens quickly
Remains till the sailors' are gone
They vanished in the night
Sirens, singing their song
Whoa, till they're gone
I hate long goodbyes, fuck off and die
You can burry my heart with your box of lies
Cut me down to size, it's no surprise
You can stab me in the back and then cut all ties
Gimme an "F", gimme a "U"
Gimme a "CK YOU"
Read between the lines, I guess love is blind
Want me to spell it out for you?
I hate long goodbyes, fuck off and die
You can burry my heart with your box of lies
Come on, pose with me in this sick machine
It looks like I'm going down in this murder scene
Try and try to bend and break me
I won't feel anything
Try and try to suffocate me
No pleasure like the pain
Sirens are calling
All's fair in love and war and
Words like bombs are falling
Down, Down, Down
Sirens are calling
All's fair in love and war and
I can't wait to bring you
Down, Down, Down, Down
Gimme a "U", gimme an "R"
Gimme "A Bitch" yeah you are
Don't pretend to cry, kiss your ass, goodbye
I got 99 reasons why
Cut me down to size, it's no surprise
You can stab me in the back and then cut all ties
Come on, punish me if it's what you need
Tie me up, break me down, you can watch me bleed
Try and try to bend and break me
I won't feel anything
Try and try to suffocate me
No pleasure like the pain
Sirens are calling
All's fair in love and war and
Words like bombs are falling
Down, Down, Down
Sirens are calling
All's fair in love and war and
I can't wait to bring you
Down, Down, Down, Down
Sirens are calling
All's fair in love and war and
Words like bombs are falling
Down, Down, Down, Down
Sirens are calling
All's fair in love and war and
Words like bombs are falling
Down, Down, Down
Sirens are calling
All's fair in love and war and
I can't wait to bring you
[piano for 22 seconds before static breaks in]
Are we back on? Let's go
(One, two, three, four!)
Yo, yo, back in it, back in it
"The one thing that, the black audience realized, is when the tower fell
There were some changes. There was a change in societies, where where
All of a sudden they went from being, somewhat of the people still having a say
To now it's, whatever the masses do. So there's not even really a choice
That a black audience is being given."
[Rapper Big Pooh]
They talk about us, not usin the word nigga
I wanna speak about a couple issues much bigger
Like most black folks live below the poverty line
And they wonder why the FUCK we attracted to crime
Got niggaz shootin niggaz at the drop of a dime
Babies in the street die way before they time
Many single parent mothers packin welfare lines
And niggaz bein donors, the apocalypse is on us
Niggaz take owners, that's all I ever asked
And got pegged as a hater, man they tryin to take niggaz
Out with the fader, started with three
Down to two-six later, back independent
Cause to kids I wouldn't cater
Go against the system you in bed with Al'Qaeda
Dog they not playin
Look here, they goin to war with more than rap
This our muh'fuckin lives now it's time to fight back
[Chorus: Carlitta Durand]
They're coming closer for you
They're gonna get you while you sleep, watch out!
Don't sleep, beware
They're coming closer for you
And they won't stop 'til you delete, watch out!
Don't sleep, beware
[Phonte:]
Yes sir, one time, uhh, uhh, yo
I came back from NY, a nigga lost his deal
Felt sick to the stomach, almost lost his meal
Lost friends from way back, and on top of all that
They tryin to blame this rap shit for all of our ills
Like I can stick you up with a mic
Like I can rape you with a verse or use a verb as a knife
Like before Kool Herc, everything was alright
Like y'all wasn't callin black women hoes befo' "Rappers Delight"
Sheeeit~! That's just idiot talk, this whole shit is a farce
I refuse to be hip-hop's pallbearer
Had to tell me son cut that bullshit off
Them ain't videos nigga, that's psychological warfare
Too many different variations of the same face
Designed to keep yo' broke ass in the same place
Somethin else more yo it gots to be for
I'm a end transmission cause they watchin me
I know they watchin me
[Chorus]
[Outro:]
Yeah, do not attempt to adjust your station
There is nothing wrong, for we have takin over
Come to give y'all the truth
Phonte, Big Pooh, Illmind on the beat
It's time to wake 'em the fuck up yo
YEAH~!
I hear an echo ringing through the corridor
somewhere a fire burns while rain begins to pour
did somebody slip up, did someone hit the floor?
they say it's too late now
I hear them calling out
it's just sirens
you pass yourself as you're walking down the street
it's in all our heads, it's better you than me
so pinch your pennies 'cause life is far from free
they say it's too late now
I hear them calling out
He couldn't get out of bed in the morning
He thought it was just a drag
So into his hollow mind he was calling, into his hollow mind
March on you fools and keep the line
March on you fools don't fall behind
From the distance through the silence
If you listen you hear sirens
Outside my window they walk in a line
Asking no questions and reading no signs
Where there is smoke there might be fire
No kiss goodnight
From the distance through the silence
If you listen you hear sirens
Outside my window they walk in a line
Asking no questions and reading no signs
They built a wall for me
What will life ever be but blue light from the screen
What will life ever be but fake
Wall of silence
Silent is the night
March on you fools and keep the line
March on you fools don't fall behind
I see the Columbine clouds on the sky
Passing above me they drift through the night
They built this world you see and made me enemies
Silently calling
I hear myself speak
My breath is in my hands
I cry out your name
Silently calling
I feel so at peace
And the time to surrender
Is the time you will take hold of me
What did you do when you woke today
What did you feel, were you sad or afraid
Searching your thoughts
for reasons or meanings
And the choices you made
Silently calling
In a field of dreams
Where memories fade
They keep passing through
this soulless maze
What did you do when you woke today
What did you feel, were you sad or afraid
Searching your thoughts for hope or relief
Looking for safety in the falling leaves
Splinters of virtue
From splintering hearts
The door is always closed
As it was from the start
Masters of freedom
Masters of light
Will you ever let me go
Take away this second sight
What did you do when you woke today
What did you feel, were you sad or afraid
Searching your thoughts
for warnings and traps
Nothing in your life will be the same!
Hanging to the sail
Caught behind the storm
Wait for the waves to come
Know the fear
Hide behind your smile
Crying for mercy
Hanging to the mast
Caught behind the storm
Wait for the sea to foam
Climb....Climb....Climb up to me
Hanging to the sail
Far beyond the storm
Lightning across the sky
Catch the rope
Cling to hope
Watch as our lives flash by
Hanging to the mast
Beyond the storm
Saltwater burning
Shield your face from whiplash sprays
Hold your breath and
Neptune will make his next move
Hanging to the rail
Caught within the storm
Watch for the jagged land
Follow a line
From another time
Washed up on stone and sand
Grab the mast
Caught within the storm
Reach for a helping hand
We could share this calm experience now
In shadows I can see the light
I whisper your name
But it's lost in the night
Watching reflections of my own solitude
Heartfelt indifference
towards actions and truths
In shadows I can see light
I whisper your name
In the night
Spare me from those sirens' lies
Spare me from this grand illusion
Spare me from those weeping eyes
And promises of absolution
Shall I stand without defense
Now that death is all around me
Did you hope for my surrender
Leaving me to die on the
bloodstained ground
It's only a lifetime
Where heroes need heroic deeds
It's only a lifetime
Where children dream of breaking free
Follow the cause
Follow the signs
Drawn by a song to our own demise
It's only a lifetime
Blud when you hear them sirens coming,
I can hear them sirens coming,
Better run when you hear them sirens coming,
I can hear them sirens coming
VERSE 1:
1 to the 2 to the 3 to the 4,
limewise police knocking at ma door,
12 black boots on ma bedroom floor,
what they want with rascal Im not sure,
took me to the station eight thirty
for a fight that I had recently,
say they got me on cctv,
and the pussy homeboyz told on me,
cant understand why these boyz keep snitchin'
cant understand why these boyz keep bitchin,
now im hot tempered feel like switchin,
cant stand still, trigger finger itching,
gotta stay calm, gotta keep ma cool,
if I go jail Ill be a dam fool,
gotta rise up, gotta stand up tall,
cant let them see the end of dizzee rascal
CHORUS X 2 :
blud when you hear them sirens coming,
I can hear them sirens coming,
better run when you hear them sirens coming,
I can hear them sirens coming
Yo man, lets take it back to the old skool story telling shit, get me!
VERSE 2:
1 day I was with ma bredwin Aido roaming the street,
on the main road, hungry, looking for sumthing 2 eat,
not no burger and chips shit thats easy digested,
its the shit that if your caught youll be easily arrested,
we was on a robbing spree,
I forgot to mention Clayton: waz a bredda rollin with us
he was scared and it was blatant; he was prang,
back to the story Aido spotted a man straight ahead of us
in the distance with his wifey holding hands,
so we followed them though this little alleyway into the flats,
when we fort the time waz perfect we crept up and we attacked,
I took the first swing unexpected causing panic,
it was ruthless causing agony and public it was tragic,
me and Aido lost the plot acting like we were from hell,
beat this bredda to the floor,
beat his wifey up aswell,
clayton stood back shaken wishing that he never came,
from out of no where was aleesha screaming out my name,
she went my school,
she saw it all,
bout this time she started cryin and to make it worse
Im hearing sirens and I ent even trying to hide.
CHORUS x2:
blud when you hear the sirens coming,
I can hear the sirens coming,
better run when you hear the sirens coming,
I can hear the sirens coming
INSTRUMENTAL
I can hear the sirens coming x2
Ill break the law I will never change x3
step on to my soil you'll get your whole face rearranged
VERSE 3:
see me on tele but I aint no actor,
running through the streets bare faced just a jackhawk,
broad daylight no shame like a lunatic,
rain, hail, sleet or snow I aint new to it,
Show me what you got better give it up quickly,
Lay em on their back if they chat back swiftly,
Better mind out when they come through the manner man,
Keep em on their toes like hammer man.
Its no joke, man woman and child Im seeking,
See no sex, no age Im creeping
Anything through the door cold on the wheelers,
Duck from the feds and I role with the dealers,
Fly with the hard heads and young offenders
Though my life aint nothing like Eastenders,
Step on to my soil Get your whole face rearranged,
Sirens in the street under pressure. [x8]
Take a step outside of my front door,
It's about 110,
And once again my shoes become concrete.
Everybody said it's ok,
It's just a headtrip,
Everything is alright.
But don't you know,
That I know something must end?
And it's all through the night,
And I know deep inside,
Something evil stands in the way.
Singing all through the night,
Through these hot summer streets.
And take no more,
And answer:
"No I'll never walk away."
Sirens in the street under pressure. [x4]
Over the airwaves,
Through the static from the top of the tower.
Sirens echo out across the land,
Around the world, a ruckus forms down to the backalley streets,
To break the silence, sirens sound out, we stand.
And it's all through the night,
Through these hot summer days.
On and on, nothing stands in the way.
Signing all through the night,
Through these hot summer streets.
And for not good reason,
Be something we must say.
Sirens in the street under pressure. [x4]
Sirens in the street...
Sirens in the street...
Sirens in the street...
Sirens in the street...under pressure
Sirens in the street under pressure [x8]
Hearing sirens rush away
Fear inside of me
Tearing down my innocence
Scream their mad confession
Hear the silence deafening
Hear the flies descend
Turn and face my enemy
Twist the knives of vengeance
Feel the silence penetrate
Deep inside of me
In my sanctuary
All my fears, are vanquished
Something inside of
Fight me
Just won't let me go
Tearing me, biting me, spiting me
Don't let it show
Can you make it go
Can you hear the voices, the choices
They crawl from below
Hear the silent symphony
Hear the silent symphony
Hear the winding sound
Hear the winding sound
Can you hear the madness, the sadness
Won't let me go
Can you hear the voices, the choices
The silent rage
Something inside of me
Some thing dividing me
Haunting me
Calling me
There's a weakness, in the window
I place my footprints, in the dark room
There's lonely voices, like a scarecrow
In the hallway, like a lost ghost
In the bedroom, I see a shadow
From the moon with light from a candle
On a bed frame, lies a girl
Her reflection, in the mirror
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
I like your eyes wide
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
Been knocking at your backdoor
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
nervous like a knife fight
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
Be careful what you ask for
I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
When I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to think of you with me
It's a dark night, on the West Coast
Then a soft breeze, as the sun rose
Then the phone rang, like a gunshot
Like a siren, on the beach rock
There's a message, at the river
A certain package here to deliver
When the day breaks, after nightfall
I will be there, you know I will
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
I like your eyes wide
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
I'm knocking at your backdoor
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
nervous like a knife fight
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
Be careful what you ask for
I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
When I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to think of you and me
(From time to time)
I can hear you breathe,
I'm feeling the shake
And the sound of my heartbeat
Can't let go...
Do you know?
I'm feeling the pain
Of my first love
I won't let it go... Can't let go
I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to taste you as you bleed (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to think of you and me
On the sea
They heard the voices sing
Through the storm
The island's closing in
They'd heard tales
Of lives lost at sea
Deserted beach just beyong their reach
You're approaching the island of the
Sirens
Sirens
Hungry for man tonight
Sirens
Sirens
Claiming the sailors' lives
Nine men made it to a shore
A night of terror
Lies neatly in store
Who are those women?
Are they real?
Is this just a crazy dream?
You're approaching the island of the
Sirens
Sirens
Hungry for flesh tonight
Sirens
Sirens
Claiming the sailors' lives
Terror happens quickly
Remains till the sailor are gone
They vanished in the night
Sirens singing their song
Pessimism aside, I'll search
To the edge of the earth
Just to find the
Enchantment of her voice in perfect rapture
Steered by the sound
Of persuasive song
Seeking absolution
With tears to match my plaintive woes
We'll create our own truths
Through these
Timeless fables
For this I've waited so long
The fates have spun
The noose it seems
Please sirens set me free
Ravish me with seraphic song
Seduction leaves the lips of the
Exsquisite sirens [exsquisite sirens]
Attired in white leaving me in a
Asphixiated reverie
Can we rewrite history
We'll create our own truths
Develop
An ending without
You drowning in the black depths
The fates have spun
The noose it seems
Please sirens set me free
Ravish me
With seraphic song
With each note and word I fell victim to the soud of her
Resplendence
Personnified
Set me free
Sirens set me
Set me free
The fates have spun the noose it seems
Please sirens set me free
Ravish me with seraphic song
With each note and word I fell victim to the sound of her
Resplendence
Personnified
Ohhhhh sirens set me [sirens set, sirens set me free]
Absence of light
Paralyzing my fate
Salty beast of naked desires
(Silver Dance over the fullmoon rise
Come and goes, replaces the Darkness)
Summoning upon another reality.
Sailing to the unsafe kingdom of nymph
Cedar smoke of thyme (and)
Singing high and low
Eyes wet scanning the bare horizon
Her worm voice rose
Hellenic Gods watching seduction
Snake body linking
Ambrosia enslaved
Sirens, Mythic Desire
Sirens liar
Epilogue:
[Dark shoreline appeared
Earthquake broke the harmony
Liquidity of body and mind
[Shipping with the beast of beauty]
[Sea mirror's the elements of space
Replace the eye of truthful existence
As the night's falling fast
And the sky is full of stars
They arrived from the unknown
From a land far beyond
They were seeking for blood
Holy war just begun - Stand and fight
It's the time to live or die
Hear the children's war cries
Feel the madness the reigns
You are alone in the dark
Soul hunters are back
All raise your swords
It's the end far or near
Carry on lead the way to the light
The sirens
They are calling your name
The sirens
There is no time to pray
Sacred fire burns your heart
Marching now full of lust
It's the call or the fate
Don't stay still, don't be late
Flaming path cross the line
God just give us a sign. Stand and fight
It's the time to live or die
Hear the children's war cries
Feel the madness the reigns
You are alone in the dark
Soul hunters are back
All raise your swords
It's the end far or near
Carry on lead the way to the light
The sirens
They are calling your name
The sirens
Well hearts belongs
Like rock and skin
At peace with evil
And all within
A shadow looms above the river
And fire sweeps across the land
Our bones are twisted in their sockets
And even we must try to stand alone
Right here alone, yeah
Fire in work beneath your skin
Forever let us sleep
'Til sirens tear the night wide open
And even we awake, love
Oh, listen
The world is awake
Oh, it's time for the tellers to rise
And the blood of the angels
Heeeey alone lone lone lone lone
Hear my ban with evil, lone
And alone
Right here alone, yeah
Alone, oh ho oh
Alone, yeah
Oh how I lived the game
When we were dancin' on bridges
High above rivers of tears and
The lightness of innocence gave us wings
We were sleepin' covered
By darkness' black velvet
So far from coldness
So far from light...
Where is the place
I used to hide
Where are the hearts
Once given to me
And I can feel it now
The white cold hand
For the first time I'm getting hurt
By the thorns of the roses in my hand
Time is returning to its realm
And it's slowly melting away
Like deep red wax
Leaving pools of blood...
Where is the place
I used to hide
Where are the hearts
Once given to me
And sweet voices...turn into sirens...
Under the raging sea, sirens call out to me
"Join her where she lies dead... sleep on the cold sea bed."
I'm coming home
Under the raging sea, sirens call out to me
"Come rest your weary bones... where her soul sleeps alone."
I'm coming home
Under the raging sea, sirens call out to me
"Your true love lies in wait... in the darkness."
I'm coming home
Under the raging sea, sirens call out to me
Smothered you suffocate,
Choke on me,
Confused you isolate all your intensions,
There's no vaccination...
Gardens that burn from fires,
Evacuate the Angels,
Who stand on funeral pyres,
To escape temptation,
Nothing has been consistent,
Not your life or your vision,
When two hearts burn as one,
Who is the victim?
You're my siren,
Entice my heart 'til it's yours,
You're my siren,
Entice my heart 'til it's yours
These bars are getting to me,
This gray box so isolating,
I've paced in it everyday,
For too long it's been my sentance...
You're my siren
Entice my heart 'til it's yours,
You're my siren,
Entice my heart 'til it's yours
Enjoy your time inside my mind and heart they're yours
Enjoy your time inside my mind and heart they're yours
Enjoy your time inside my mind and heart they're yours
You're my siren,
Entice my heart 'til it's yours
You're my siren,
Entice my heart 'til it's yours
This is yours,
This is yours,
This is yours,
Smothered you suffocate,
Choke on me,
Confused you isolate all your intensions,
There's no vaccination...
Gardens that burn from fires,
Evacuate the Angels,
Who stand on funeral pyres,
To escape temptation,
Nothing has been consistent,
Not your life or your vision,
When two hearts burn as one,
Who is the victim?
You're my siren,
Entice my heart 'til it's yours,
You're my siren,
Entice my heart 'til it's yours
These bars are getting to me,
This gray box so isolating,
I've paced in it everyday,
For too long it's been my sentance...
You're my siren
Entice my heart 'til it's yours,
You're my siren,
Entice my heart 'til it's yours
Enjoy your time inside my mind and heart they're yours
Enjoy your time inside my mind and heart they're yours
Enjoy your time inside my mind and heart they're yours
You're my siren,
Entice my heart 'til it's yours
You're my siren,
Entice my heart 'til it's yours
This is yours,
This is yours,
This is yours,
This is my heart
Everywhere I walk I feel the danger
Everyone around is getting stranger
Sunglasses and vodka in the morning
Sirens never came to me as a warning
Walking on the beach is so romantic
Kissing in the sand is so fantastic
Flying down the highways
Like you're wanted
Something in her touch
Has left me haunted
It's a game that we play,
And I don't know if I could
Live without you
The first time was the worst,
Now I thirst everything about you
Come and tell me
What you're really after
An angel told me that the end was soon
Wasted nights flirting with disaster
Give me what I need
To get me through
It's a game that we play,
And I don't know if I could
Live without you
The last time was the worst,
Now I'm cursed sitting here without you
Without you
Without you
Come and tell me
What you're really after
An angel told me that the end was soon
Wasted nights flirting with disaster
Give me what I need
To get me through
And you're so bad,
So bad...
And you're so bad,
we're living in a warzone according to the power fingers on the baton, waiting for the hour, when the gun will be here, 'cause they can smell the fear, they want to dominate us that much is clear, they've got your name and number hidden in their files, smashing up your home, real television style, searching for your drugs at least they're having fun, what's it gonna be like when they've got the gun, the law is an ass, life is a gas, thinking you are free, try it and see, step out of line, all will be fine, what you gonna do, when the sirens after you

Oh just go and sail me away
Did anybody read today about chemicals in the sky?
Will I decide to make a difference
If I save the trees in time and feed a child about to starve?
Who's hearing the sirens?
Who's hearing the sound of fear
The sound of bleeding sky
Now she sells herself to make it
Through the conscience of her mind
Though she's trying hard not to deny
It's coming back now magnified
And the papers all splash the same headline
Back to the scene of the crime
You'll never redesign my life
Back to the scene of the crime
All the evidence is mine
Who's hearing the sirens?
Who's hearing the sound of fear
The sound of bleeding sky
It seems like this summer's never ending
Can you feel the hot wind blow
It comes at the same time every year
We stay out half the night to hide
from sleeping in our homes
It's the north wind
Here come the Sirens
Hear them roar... Once more
I lay back in my room with dark red curtains
Wake up to the trucks outside my door
Short of sleep
And the sky tonight it's a deadly one
It hardly lets us breathe
Like Ash Wednesday
Here come the Sirens
Hear them roar... Once more
And when I'm hot I like the fast songs
But when I'm tired and I can't sleep
Play them slow
Way down
Here come the Sirens
Sirens
I hear
Sirens
I hear
Sirens
I hear
Sirens
I heart the falling again
I guess sirens are never done
Sirens
Take me
Sirens
Take me
For an open road
I guess sirens take me this time
Just come on
Come down
Just come home
to more
We murder our crowns
Sirens
I hear
Sirens
I hear the come
Take me
Take me
Take me
Take me
Talk, talk to those
Those who believe all your white lies
Everything you spread through word you rape
Walk, walk with those
Who follow you in your drone
I can't recall myself the way you lie
Sounding so perfect, pulled apart so easily
Have you ever tried to be you?
They fall on deaf ears
Lost in the sirens voices
Have you ever tried to listen
Noises so clear through all
All these whispers whistling
Brought it upon yourself, the way you act
Some I could accept with half of your smile
Have you ever tried to be real?
No matter what you say
Nothing will make you different
Words count more than I could pretend
What you say doesn't make sense anyway
I'm still a ghost of yesterday
Forgotten words won't reach me
All what you say does not make sense anyway
Words will never reach me
"Sing to me, seductress come to me,
Lure me, infectious harmony"
Death calls, disturb a hungry sea
The wind shall carry me, into your arms
Your voice is fatally guiding me, lost sirens bury me
Still waters be my grave
"Mislead me, into false security
Toxic, your beauty drowning me,
My savour? seductress come to me,
Lure, me, my silent tragedy".
Death calls, disturbs a hungry sea
The wind shall carry me, into your arms
Your voice is fatally guiding me, lost sirens bury me
I became so down, so down by the road
I called your house and heard your dial tone
They come as they go
They come as they go
They come as they go
We shake, we shake
They come as they go
They come as they go
They come as they go
We shake, we shake
You wake me up,
By telling facts while you put your shoes on
You wake me up,
By telling information that is useless at this point
If we could fix everything
One more kiss without smiling
If we could fix everything
I became so down, so down by the road
I called your house and heard your dial tone
They come as they go
They come as they go
They come as they go
We shake, we shake
They come as they go
They come as they go
They come as they go
We shake, we shake
You wake me up,
By telling facts while you put your shoes on
You wake me up,
By telling information that is useless at this point
If we could fix everything
One more kiss without smiling
If we could fix everything
I call them sirens
I call them sirens
It's simple science
I call them sirens
I became so down, so down by the sea
I saw you sailing, smiling with a thief
They come as they go
They come as they go
They come as they go
We shake, we shake
They come as they go
They come as they go
They come as they go
We shake, we shake
You wake me up,
By telling facts while you put your shoes on
You wake me up,
By telling information that is useless at this point
If we could fix everything
One more kiss without smiling
If we could fix everything
I call them sirens
I call them sirens
It's simple science
I call them sirens
Sirens, silence, sirens, silence
Sirens, silence, sirens, silence
Sirens, silence, sirens, silence
Sirens, silence, sirens, silence
Sirens, silence, sirens, silence
Sirens, silence, sirens, silence
Tear me down
Tell me I don't need to fear
Tell me now
Tell me some bodies near
'Cause sirens
Sirens are all I hear
They keep calling out
Calling out someone's name
Keep calling out
And all you can do is pray
That these sirens
Sirens don't come our way
Or we'll be
All run run running away
We'll be
All run run running away
All run run running away
When sirens they come our way
It's raining now
Raining on someone's fears
Raining down
I've heard the rain is the city's tears
But these sirens
These sirens are all I hear
And they keep calling out
Calling out someone's name
Keep calling out
And all I can do is pray
That these sirens
Sirens don't come our way
Or we'll be
All run run running away
We'll be
All run run running away
All run run running away
By a route
obscure and lonely.
Fall by fault
only trees will know me.
From the ocean floor, to the ships above me.
Float dead back to shore
I've seen it all before
but this time I'm leaving
You a bloody mess
I kiss you gently
I pray you never live another day
You satisfied, my need to hold you one last time
And I don't think, this was right
You were right I can't be wrong
So stop breathing now
you tear me apart
And the sirens keep on wailing
...down
around me again
Well just know this never helped me
so imagine how i feel
now you're gone for good
your soul can not be saved
remember all those kisses, the pain
we said we'd make it thru someday
you satisfied my need to hold you one last time
and i don't think, this was right, you were
right i can't be wrong so stop breathing now
you tear me apart, and the
sirens keep on wailing down
around me again, just know this never helped me
im leaving you to not be found
if i cant have you no one can
now you tear me apart
and the sirens keep on wailing down
around me again, just know this never helped me
this is what you get for what you did to me
Well summer's in my head again
I've been lying in this bed for days on end
Don't talk to me just let me sleep
I had that dream this week
Where everything goes wrong, let me take you there
Trace the patterns and repeat
I'm left with what was underneath no heart it's useless
You've heard the song so let's move along
And everywhere we go
Everything goes wrong, let me take you there
You won't believe all the colors that dance
Inside the flame
You won't believe how these walls cave in
Fall down and light me up again
Here's to the holiday and the life that we leave
We never got to say goodbye I'm sorry
And they will gather around when the sirens ring out
The celebration's moved on to a better place
If there's something to talk about can it wait
I can't talk right now
Moving backwards, what happened last year?
I’m just a sailor on the sea full of sirens chasing me
with their deadly songs
And I have my ears covered in knees,
have my eyes closed in a breeze while I’m singing this
tune
And I ride the waves up to the shore
where a long expected war is burning up my memories
And I will command the troops to hide
take them to the other side where no one is waiting for
till then I still have my lonesome fight
maybe I will lose my mind
my knees are already shaking
I have to keep focus on this tune
While I’m flying to the moon, reflecting it’s light to
feel mine
And I ride the waves up to the shore
where a long expected war is burning up my memories
And I will command the troops to hide
take them to the other side where no one is waiting for
I just want to hear you screaming “Land Ho!”
But you’re acting like a child singing “ini mini miny
It’s alright, I can handle this on my own
It’s alright
I better pray, ‘cause here come the stones!
And I ride the waves up to the shore
where a long expected war is burning up my memories
And I will command the troupes to hide
take them to the other side where no one is waiting for
we’re burning
destroying
our lives have become
tortured
and bothered by whats been going on
reaching and grabbing for dreams of returning
to have our dreams interupted by alarms
this is the end
we’ve gone away
we’re falling back to earth
return to earth
return to earth
and we’re running in circles again
we’re running in circles
and we’re running in circles again
thinking big but doing so small
if this is the way that we’re living
then why should we live at all?
my life is mine
i’m working towards not ever having to work
my life is mine
my life is mine
waking up to feel the pressure
this is what i’ve never wanted
close your eyes and sleep it all off
I’ve given up my dreams
for this so called life
which I’ll never be happy living in
this so called life
which I’ll never be happy living in
I’ll carry on
put on my tie and fake up my smile
I’ll carry on
so watch me fake it
I’d like for nothing more
then to live a day of peace
with no care in sight
just this life of mine
I’d like for nothing more
then to spit in your fucking face
with no care in mind
this is not a dream
this is not a dream
this is not a dream
this is cruel reality it’s everything it seems.
I’ve been a sinking ship
I’ve been a fucking wreck
Lie to me, tell me I matter
through the clouds we’ve crashed on down
oh, my eyes have seen destruction of hopes
and dreams the sun has set for the last time
How can I last through my struggles
when I know that this burden is my own
yet, I have seen
the strength from within me still grows
growing away
all that I love and call my own
I'm waking up
To brighter days
what we can now call our own
I see the wake with eyes closed tight and open arms
a constitution of promises and broken laws
you've given up all hope
you've killed our pride
you've left us buried and
behind your eyes
the light reflects your every thought
this will sink in your mind
until the day you die
for what remains
you put your life in my hands
I felt your world crumble
quit preaching to me
you're not the voice that I thought I'd need
I'm not the one who's begging to be counted
I don't need approval
you speak about the things that you say that you speak
against
I'll live for myself
why would I stay always living on my knees?
to stand a thrive (the truth)
to know the truth (the truth)
to speak our minds
to live our lives
question everything
thank your lord
for you have been saved
wake up, open your eyes
to the world
(to the world)
beckon me when the time is right to strike
this is the end of the line
and I'm sure that you'd be happy
this is the anthem of destitution
seek your prophets
hope and pray that they can cleanse your sins
for this is rapture, where was mercy when you were
master?
this is the product of our blood and sweat and
righteous minds
this is the meaning of the cries and screams and
endless dreams
walking on uncharted land
with minds of steel, a heart of man.
this is the beat of resistance
this is the start of a war
this is our hope for salvation
this is our means to restore
it's up to us
to present the truth
leave nothing hidden
they won't reveal the proof to you.
the war is raging and I'm fighting for truth
we come from nothing, we have everything to prove
we are the peasants, we are the kings
we are the definition of what war brings
this, this is our life
we will live long
we will see victory
until then,don't bow your head
lead with your fist
reach for the end
dismiss every threat with faith in yourself
burn for this
die to live
give up your life.
these are times of restitution built upon their graves
we are kings of all we see our eyes are blind and hands
are bound
I would sleep tonight knowing that you'll write but the
letter will never be found
with our history, I hope I live to see the day I forget
I've seen it all becoming
becoming something new
the dreams we once had fade away
but this is who we are
our warlike nature
through years of moral struggle
we are desensitized
our eyes have seen so much that should not be seen.
I've looked for answers from the ones from above
the sun will always set
and if it sets on us before we are ready
we'll see it rise again
it will rise as long as we keep faith
with our eyes we have seen so much hate
I cannot picture this ending well for us
but it always works out
in the end
this was a mistake.
it was a mistake.
our world has become plagued but it won't stick
the winds of change will come to revive
our eyes have seen the glory of what we can do
we must be strong and resist the urge of giving in
the sun will set, the sky will rain.
but we have persisted the worst of all the storms
if we give up right now our lives will never end
we will be burdened with the guilt of failure then
the sun will glare down causing fire in our eyes
the winds will blow and make the sound of nature's
cries
we must repair
we must be civil
and as I open my eyes
a new day has dawned
offering us a chance to start over
but we are stuck in the ways of the past
we are still burdened by the hate in our hearts
and with that hate we turn our world into a living hell
we wake to fire and images of life in a cell
we feel remorse but we always try to justify
our rebirth cannot start until we fucking die
I'll fight and I'll stand and I'll be a bigger man
I'll fight and I'll stand and I'll be a bigger man
I'LL FIGHT AND I'LL STAND AND I'LL BE A BIGGER MAN
the line is drawn
you lie through teeth and dead eyes
if I’d have known, I’d be pulling knives from my back
why must I be the reciever?
why can’t I be dishing it out?
I hear your lies through gates and recievers
they’re not working anymore
as you meet your maker
walk through the gates and see your
running out
out of lies
running out
out of time
you seem to hurt those around you
turning decency into deception
the jokes on you
you will never again return to peace in your life of
hell
the jokes on you, you will never again find an ounce of
peace in your life of hell.
You deserve the life you’ve got
you fucked up and it’s all your fault
I won’t forget what you’ve done and the pain you’ve
caused
the worst pain in the world is the pain that you feel
when your friends are gone
I hope you choke on words, don’t spill a drop
I hope you fucking hate the life you’ve got.
Who I am will always be who I am.
How can you even fucking think that I would let this
slide again?
I’m moving onward
We’ll never speak again
the taste of your words on my tounge
tastes so much like betrayal
the last time in my life that i look like a fool for
the gates will open up and the depths of hell will
swallow you
In words and in text you spread lies and deceit
The life that you live will be yours to keep
reaching and grabbing at you from beneath
your words and your lies won’t allow you to breathe
Through lessons and scriptures, you sow, you must reap
the gates of redemption will not let you sleep
and in time
your fate will be mine
your whole life
will be remembered as lies
you mean nothing to me
I’m everything that you’ll never be
you mean nothing to me
The gates swing open and you'll find you're
running out
out of lies
running out
out of time
I was trying to be
I was trying to be
I was trying to be
I was trying to be
These are the types of things that I'd take to my grave
the misdirection of society has been detained.
collecting profit under false monickers
the circumstances stray far from reality.
come with me, we'll reach the distance
take my hand and I'll lead you astray.
I'll be the one, you'll find, believe me.
keep me far from the truth.
The walls caved in on me
I'm buried underneath all of your lies
see what you seek
This will weigh heavy on my mind forever.
What happens here is all my fault because I've
faltered.
I let you go, in dreams, I see your face.
Forgive what I have done for I am just a man.
You are my heart, I feel you beating.
It seems to me I am my own enemy.
I feel like giving up, I feel like letting go.
I feel I'm going to make you proud.
I won't let you down.
You didn't die for nothing.
I'll carry you home and put you to sleep for the last
time.
there's peace, knowing your there.
I feel you watching.
I can't change the past.
but I'll change the world.
You didn't die for nothing.
Trust in my hand.
It's the one that's been thats been tearing the walls
down.
I've made an honest mistake.
I'm the one who's wrong.
Now, those things I said all fell on deaf ears.
I won't be wrong again, I won't make the same mistakes.
We have been deceived.
Despite all the mistakes that we make in our lives
and despite the hardships that we are faced with
it's never too late to become something.
And I know that we can succeed.
we are the forgotten ones
we are the left behind
we walk this path alone until the day we die.
we are the forgotten ones
we are the left behind
we walk this path alone until the day we die.
we are the stranded
we are the forgotten ones
the gates have come and gone and it's all our faults
I find it hard to say
that your American dream is just a fantasy
it’s just a fantasy
It’s just a fantasy
despite all our advances
it’s just a fantasy
drying,my tears run out
and leave beds of action
crying, the screams of doubt
lead to the fearless reactions of our world
there’s such a burden upon my shoulders that leads me
to believe responsibility is mine
contradictions and hypocrisy are ripping apart what we
have worked for
we are the sons
marching towards days of dignity
we are the sons
the sons of liberty
this is the worst of whats to come
the days go unending until dawn
the nights seem like sleepless eternities
awake to new days where hope still remains
is this your world?
this isn’t my america
through hundreds of sleepless nights
we’ve come to terms
with our fates.
these are the times that will try all our souls
whats left of what they started? of us all?
the struggles we face are hard and their fierce
blazing a path that needs to be cleared
reaching for new beginnings
look to the sky for answers from prophets and saviors
realize that no one or nothing can save you
hope is all we have
through all of our struggles
Betrayal in the purest form
with shaken hands our fates are forsaken
holding strength to never look back on our past
and work for better days
of our youth slip away from our grasp
marching on to our graves
reaching for those who are better equipped to survive
the reign.
now, the world is watching
all eyes are on you
the skies have cleared revealing the lands that you
helped burn
to the ground
all the people who cared
and the ones who failed to survive
may their souls be put to rest
raise your voice, be heard
remember this feeling
raise your fucking voice
be heard.
questioning positions
lead your own life
containing the masses
stop and think for yourself
when the sun is glaring hotter than ever
when the moon glows straight through your eyes
where the night ends and begins the day.
looking back on our past
the hands of time are pointed at you
remember this time in your life
for the love of yourself, repent, find peace
I see what your doing
this is more than an accusation
when the tables have turned
you'll see what you have wasted
is this a weight worth carrying?
I'm just a mortal man.
I'm not strong enough to commit to this
the world is watching
all eyes turn to me
the world is watching
watching me burn
and all we've worked for
all that we know
has been erased from the pages
the clock resets now
(I can't erase, I can't stop these dreams
you haunt me
and no matter how hard I try
I can't erase from the pages
of our lives)
I'd watch you die
to be the one who makes it out
I'd throw away the bonds we shared
it's a fight for survival
I gave the one thing that I held close in my life
I am the shepherd leading sheep into the slaughter
receive your fate and sleep
close your eyes and pray for shelter
I am the stone
I am the one that you rely on
I'm just a man, not a shoulder you can cry on
all the money in the world could never change my ways
a nation contested
under god, under us all
what it means is not to be decided by one
but by the masses
reaching out
what it means is not to be decided by one
but by the masses
reaching out
those without a voice shall be audible
those without a voice shall be audible
and as bodies burn for causes we regret
they sit back and laugh.
they sit back and laugh at your faults and differences
they sit back and laugh
they just laugh at those who dont share fortunes like
they do
our lives are run by it but we are breaking through
getting rich off of your son’s blood
taking life from the youth of america
getting rich off of your son’s blood
taking life from the youth of america
Ride, because tonight is the night
the roots grow deep watered by the blood of patriots
The rising tide
the rising tide
the rising tide
the rising tide
will wash you away.
hearing all your differences and laughing all these
years
no more feeding to the vultures preying on your fears
I’ve grown tired of propaganda brainwashing minds of
those who are weak and sending signs of hope, believe
this is the ending
love is dead
love is dead
our last stand for the life of man
I'm holding on
I'm holding on to your ghost
I'm holding on
I'm holding onto you
and I feel the pressure
and I don't want to remember
I can't help but feeling
like I'm holding on to you
your eyes are haunting
I can't escape
your eyes, they haunt my soul
I can't turn back the time
I can't turn back the time
I can't turn back the time
