Lit up with anticipation
We arrive at the launching site
The sky is still dark, nearing dawn
On the Florida coastline
Circling choppers slash the night
With roving searchlight beams
This magic day when super-science
Mingles with the bright stuff of dreams
Floodlit in the hazy distance
The star of this unearthly show
Venting vapours, like the breath
Of a sleeping white dragon
Crackling speakers, voices tense
Resume the final count
All systems check, T minus nine
As the sun and the drama start to mount
The air is charged
A humid, motionless mass
The crowds and the cameras
The cars full of spectators pass
Excitement so thick you could cut it with a knife
Technology...high, on the leading edge of life
The earth beneath us starts to tremble
With the spreading of a low black cloud
A thunderous roar shakes the air
Like the whole world exploding
Scorching blast of golden fire
As it slowly leaves the ground
Tears away with a mighty force
The air is shattered by the awesome sound
Like a pillar of cloud
The smoke lingers high in the air
In fascination
With the eyes of the world
Five (5), Four (4), Three (3), Two (2), One
You done when I see you (David Banner, banner)
Five (5), Four (4), Three (3), (yeah, yeah) Two (2), (ay) One

Five (5), Four (4), Three (3), Two (2), (here I am muthaf****), One run
You done when I see (see) you (you) (ay)
what it is the king back in the building
Still stacking and building
Still rappin to children
Jeopardizing ya deals, ballin buyin ya wheels
Like it’s back when we was lil and it’s still time to kill
Quick displayin ya skills
Way underpayin ya bills
Spend a day in the field
So how you sayin you real
Niggaz could never live how I live, you ain’t deserving
My lifestyle’s urban, never met me in person
Just my bread suburban, in a red suburban
On 24’s, 20 hoes givin head, I’m swerving
Fuck boys piss they pants, scared and nervous
I’m shell-shocked, black out like I been in the service
Clean cut and reserved, but I tote George Garvin
The closest thang you hoes seen to picture perfect
Your rose gold king, my ring tight as a virgin cop
Your dream I stopped fo I seen the top, nigga
Five (5). Four (4), Three (3), Two (2), (what!), One
You done when I see (see), you (you) (ya days are numbered shawty)
Five (5), Four (4), Three (3), Two (2), One run
You done when I see (see), you (you) (countdown pimp)
I treat the beats like the streets
On em I do what I want to
I ain’t gotta confront you, I’ll kill you if I want to
Roam amongst monsters, kill homes and front you
That lil nigga swearin he bad, eat him for lunch too
Fuck you niggaz, Dominique slam dunk you niggaz
Sucker punch aan one of you niggaz
I was being nice at first now I’m runnin thru niggaz
Whole crews, not just one or two niggaz
Cuz you aint representin the south, you just embarassin
See you on tv in New York, them niggaz laugh at us
The reason why D.J.’s didn’t have a clue I was fabulous
Now a days, not playin my records well, hell it’s hazardous
All this cussin, fussin, loud discussion’s out of my character
Bustin these niggaz melons and threatnin all of they managers
P.$.C. is Atlanta, so how you playin and handlin
Gorillaz wit bananaz, without playin and banishing
King of the south, it was said once then
Took a while to comprehend, now it all sunk in
On the low, deal a mil, I ain’t done, come again
Room dead, scene fled, fo the fedz runnin in pimp
comin live from the terror dome
Shinin lights on niggaz who got they skirts on tight wit mascara on
All I have ever known, is 28 in the zone
Give me a day and its gon, a brick of yay and it’s on
You have never known, me to run less I’m gunnin at niggaz domes
And runnin em out the own territory
Every story got a flip side to it, and ya disc ain’t shit less the click ride to it
And I’m gon show you how the Westside do it
In the A, not Cali, Bankhead, Simpson Valley
Every crack in every alley, sellin crack to every Tom, Dick, and Harry
Every Kim, Sue, and Sally, till I tally up
A big enough knot to buy me a yacht
So then my pistols and my patnaz really all that I got
I’m not, playin at all, I’m sprayin em all
Still drop em down to size if they say that I’m small man
Pussy cats can’t worry ya dawg
Throwin stones at the throne, I’m a bury ya all man
Know ya faggot niggaz hate that I’m ballin
Makin 30k a day and blow it all at the mall and man I
Can’t relate to what you rap on stage
Nigga cuz I been sellin yay since I was bow wow’s age nigga
Hear my daddy and cousin talking to me from the grave
"Keep very still, for the strangest things are about to happen."
Oh I was seventeen when I heard the countdown start, it started slowly
And I thought it was my heart but then I realised
That this time it was for real there was no place to hide
I had to go out and feel, but there was time to kill
And so I, I walked my way around town I tried to love the world
Oh but the world just got me down and so I looked for you
In every street of every town I wanted to see your face
I wanna I wanna see you now

Oh and so it went
Oh so it went for several years I couldn't stand it
No oh it must be getting near now that you just don't know

You're not gonna have me around
Oh The sky and stars and God will never ever laugh
Me and stars and moon are falling down.
Another home is lost from someone who was poor
Another body found for the government to ignore
Another cop caught beating up on innocence
Another law that seems to make no fucking sense
Natural disaster is just something we don't need
Another person tested positively to H.I.V.
Another mountain side that we cannot see
Another politician's life remains a mystery
Newspaper headlines, do they tell us what is right, or what is wrong?
I wanna know exactly what the fuck is going on
The media has built a fortress all around our minds
Will I see it broken before I lay down and die
The clock is winding down
Just a matter of time until it comes here to this town
Countdown - countdown
Countdown - countdown
Another wall is built between color and race
Another wrong decision about peace is made
Another chemical is dumped into the sea
Another fact is not exactly what you read
Another piece of land that just could not be saved
Another education that could not be paid
Another killer in the street is roaming free
Another day, another pain, another misery
Newspaper headlines, do they tell us what is right, or what is wrong?
I wanna know exactly what the fuck is going on
The media has built a fortress all around our minds
Will I see it broken before I lay down and die
The clock is winding down
Just a matter of time until it comes here to this town
Countdown - countdown
Countdown - countdown
I've got a feeling, I've got a bad feeling inside
I've got a feeling, I've got a bad feeling inside
I've got a feeling, I've got a bad feeling inside
The businessmen got a job to do
The Eastenworld is waiting too.
They're sittin' on a bloodstone calling you a beggar,
Waitin' for another deal in open cars.
The presence of the men gives a bad vibration,
They're countin' dollar bills, and they're workin' on
The final countdown
Countdown
I'm sitting all around and I'm waitin' for the lyrics
they gotta be cool, gotta satisfy the critics.
"Sigh of warning all across the edges"
maybe too pathetic ... and my pencil scratches,
Meanwhile X is comin' from Miami
Another perfect deal was made in open cars.
I don't care 'cos I'm much too busy,
I have to write my lyrics
And I'm waiting for the final countdown,
Countdown.
It's jut a matter of time
We're only waitin' for the end of the world
And we got nothing to lose
We're only servants of the monsters we curse.
It's just a matter of time
We can be sure we'll be doin' our worst.
And we're waiting for the countdown.
We're sittin' all around and we drink our lage,
Thanks to God we got no embargo.
What is left to do when you're looking for pleasure,
Somehow we gotta lose the pressure.
We're sittin' on a blood stone, worker, boss and beggar.
I don't give a damn
I want my open car.
God has turned to money, Jesus is a Liqueur
I'd rather get my record done and party for the final,
COUNTDOWN, COUNTDOWN.
It's jut a matter of time
We're only waitin' for the end of the world
And we got nothing to lose
We're only servants of the monsters we curse.
It's just a matter of time
We can be sure we'll be doin' our worst.
Countdown! to my extinction, my life falls apart in front of my face
Countdown! my life is such a disgrace
Countdown! should I hang myself or slit my wrist
Countdown! overdose on heroin, just like Sid

Count down the times I tried make you mine
Cryin' out - Count down the times I tried to - Tried to make you mine
Well my heart goes out to you in your time of need
But you cause me pain most every time you breathe.
Cryin' out- cause me pain every, every time you breathe.
Well you said you'd love me 'til death took you home
But you stayed out late always doin' me wrong
Cryin' out - stayed out late always - always doin' me wrong
So I'm leavin' in the morning if I have to ride them lines
You done stole my heart but you can't take my mind
Cryin' out - stole my heart but you - you can't take my-
Well you stole my heart and damn near drove me mad - I gotta get back home to my mama and dad
The streets of the city
Are closing in
It’s getting so hot
It’s blistering my skin
Fires are burning
Out of control
Some day soon
This place is gonna go
4-3-2-1 - Countdown
More cops on the street
Every day
Somewhere in the distance
The sirens wail
Night time falling
On London again
And everybody’s wondering
Where it’s gonna end
4-3-2-1 - Countdown
The clocks are broken
They’re burnt in the flame
But you can’t stop the tide
Of an attitude of change
So long have we waited
To be caught in this trap
When the hands start moving
There’ll be no turning back
I'm waiting on the countdown
Sitting in the shade
Things about to turn around
How the madness fades
Oh, I've been waiting on the countdown
Things about to turn around
And now I'm out of the lost and found
Just waiting on the countdown
Right through your fingers
Time slips away
Oh, this feeling lingers
Right here I'm going to stay
I've been waiting on the countdown
Things about to turn around
And now I'm out of the lost and found
Just waiting on the countdown
So I'm sitting in the shade
Under the dreaming tree
Now the madness fades
Right here I'm going to be
Oh, I've been waiting on the countdown
Things about to turn around
And now I'm out of the lost and found
Trail of red like the sea
Well I'm the son of a crowded bed
Find your love's gonna pout for me
Your love that breathes, breeds
Gonna paste up our damn heads
Gonna drop, gonna drop, gonna count for me
Your love that breaths, breeds
Your love that's catchin' the breeze.
Son of a crowded bed
Son of a cloudy night
Well find your love's gonna count for me, your love's gonna count for me
We'll count down (8x)
Yeah
Waitin' for a chance to pass
Some ho say some say now go
Lookin' for a chance for speed
A love that breathes, breeds
High time getting past black
Gonna drop, gonna drop, gonna count for me
Your love that breathes, breeds
Your love that's catchin' the breeze
Son of a crowded bed
Son of a cloudy night
Find your love's gonna count for me, your love's gonna count for me
We'll count down (16x)

And so it begins...
Countdown, can you think of a reason why
You so love it downtown?
I met you in the middle of the scandalous town
It's a miracle you're walking around
Countdown in a dark town, and so it begins...
It started with a minute of your favorite song
A sexy little secret of a radio song
I wish it wasn't floating around
Countdown to a tight sound, and so it begins...
Can you think of a reason why it's your favorite song
It caught you with your finger on a video girl
America is watching you now
Countdown to a night gown
Hey now, wake up!
It's a beautiful day
Hey now, look up!
You're always turning away
Are you falling asleep?
Hey now, wake up!
Are you looking away?
Hey now, look up!
Are you watching?
It's a brand new day and you shouldn't be fading away
And so it begins...
Countdown, it's the time of the season
When you're a man around town
Imagination taking you where no one else can
Floating on sins that surround
Countdown in a dark town, and so it begins...
Hey now, wake up!
It's a beautiful day
Hey now, look up!
You're always turning away
Are you falling asleep?
Hey now, wake up!

It's a brand new day and you shouldn't be fading away
1, 2 All I got is a semi-automatic smile
Oh shit I gotta get high
Act now if you know who you are
You'll be lookin' at the picture
Just to see you're a star
The invisible, the great, the incredible
You talk too much
You talk about unspeakable
Stop the lies, never act surprised, what
You run away never pay the price
So you pull me down to get you high
Coz the sun won't shine for you to fly
~ Coz I don't know now so don't you try ~
So hide yourself and you deny
Brother, brother come on, got to get it on
I'm steppin' on the zone, I don't want to be alone
And I exercise my right to not give up the fight
Tonight is the night I wanna bring you to the light
Pre-chorus
So speakin' kinda easy
Losin' your mind, you're goin' crazy
I'm bringin' it back, holdin' it back
All you need is to react
Do you really wanna feel me
Everytime you try to hurt me
I'm walkin' away, flyin' away
Find myself another day
So tell me what you feel
Tell me what is real
~ Tell me what's the deal ~
With the pain you try to heal
So do you really care
Is this really fair
Better beware
Throw your hands in the air
Chorus
One! Maybe you can shine like the sun
Two! Take everything that is for you
Three! Open your eyes if you wanna see
Four! Check the mic and check the score
Five! Use your heart and try to survive
Six! Do you wanna die with crucifix
Seven! Your sins will be unforgiven
Even if you know how to stop from breathin'
3, 4 I better get some more
Yo mi casa es su casa never shut the door
And all the people in the place
Who really want to rock with me
We will never ever stop until the next century
I'm free, and don't you wanna stay with me
I'll be the worst thing that you'll ever see
So let it be, and let me see the real me
I will try to take you if you wanna bounce with me
You crucify and then you lie
Coz you don't see the crime, you testify
I talk to you, you don't reply
Stop dreaming now, open your eyes
I never wanna take it
All I wanna do is break it
I'm so sick of you, all I wanna do is fake it
So forget it, I never wanna think about it
I spit, I quit, I never wanna hear it
Pre-chorus
So speakin' kinda easy
Losin' your mind, you're goin' crazy
I'm bringin' it back, holdin' it back
All you need is to react
Do you really wanna feel me
Everytime you try to hurt me
I'm walkin' away, flyin' away
Find myself another day
So tell me what you feel
Tell me what is real
~ Tell me what's the deal ~
With the pain you try to heal
So do you really care
Is this really fair
Better beware
Throw your hands in the air
Chorus
One! Maybe you can shine like the sun
Two! Take everything that is for you
Three! Open your eyes if you wanna see
Four! Check the mic and check the score
Five! Use your heart and try to survive
Six! Do you wanna die with crucifix
Seven! Your sins will be unforgiven
Well it's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine

Hey God it's me.
You know that I done screwed up again.
Well I try and try to get myself by but I always fall back in.
And I'm, amazed yeah I'm in a daze when.
You say hey it's alright.
So I think I'll raise up a song of praise to the one I love tonight.
Countdown 5-4-3-2-1
Countdown is almost done
Well You've seen me and You've heard
me and You've searched me from inside.
You've secured me and endured me and it's been a crazy ride
like an astronaut on a rocket ship waitin' to blast into space.
For she's perhaps quite clever
On the mic, I'm Wizard, call me Chris Webber
Scary, wise, I'm way past terror
I make like Jay-Z, then Roc-a-Fella
Rock 'em out the club
Then buy 'em a bottle of champagne
From the bar compliments of E-Dub
I be the one to cause the confusion
Twist your mind to pieces make ya think I'm losin'
Yeah, niggaz try to provoke me
But, I'm a tower God
So, there ain't no hope
Bitches like dope E so, I resume, if they step
I Buck-a-Shot like I'm Black Moon
Let me ask you's, y'all feel that like Erykah
Control the states and make a Def America
My styles legit, peep the steez a bit
It's official, like a licensed forty-five pistol
Word to the preacher's wife
I got the power to annoy ya
And keep them shiesty folks on point
I'm the butler servin' MC's
Because I love to
N-O, quote, you're a customer
I put you in your right mind and frame
I derail tracks and rappers like Doc designed the train
All aboard with the Def Squad, if you can hang
My name be precise range, when I aim, I flame
Fuck a gun, when I was twelve, I was bustin' 'em
Young, just wanna have fun, like little Just' and 'em
But Doc never trusted them hoes, double crossed me
Foes, I take it to the nigga, started you hustlin'
Whether it be weed, dope or coke
My athlete flow make Doc show, soak his toes
Make niggaz bow down, when I'm drunk off Gold Crown
Pull out the pound, bust off my ro ro ro round
Jump out a tree, land on your neck
From the moment you start pumpin' Redman in your deck
You be like damn, that's what I ride for
If I apply more pressure, it'll snow on July Fourth
Son spark the spliff, bark the fifth
The tracks make acrobats lose their arch and shit
If you came to brawl, we love to get involved
My squad lickin' hard for all white people to jawl
MC's it's the final countdown
You look tired can you go the round
If you can, I'll slap your hands and give you credit
If not, I'll turn around and say forget it
MC's it's the final countdown
You look tired can you go the round
If you can, I'll slap your hands and give you credit
If not, I'll turn around and say forget it
Yeah, nobody rock harder than this
Closed jaw, stoned face, mic extremist and I doubt it
You could kiss my ass and make a love song about it
'Cause, I'm 'bout it and their livin' without it
Yeah, wantin' to battle with me as hard as it gets
Get niggaz in jail watchin' Soul Train turn off the TV, lyrical vet
Flippin' twenty-six letters of the alphabet
You talk shit, you deserve what you get
I'm heartthrob, leave you dead as a door knob
Not a hip hop cop and not down with the Mobb
Capable of handlin' multiple responsibilities
Simultaneously with communication capabilities
From high class to mid class to low and greedy
I will instantaneously bust an MC
The non forgetter, hit you with the one hitter, quitter
And make you exercise your shit up, nigga
These niggaz is ridin' dick like rodeo, their homos
Who wanna toe-to-toe, fuck the studio flow
Def Squad click, a thug nigga, chug a lot of liquor
Forty five slug sender, half spreader, cash getter
Represent for the real gangsters and drug dealers
Know half your little rap and I'm cappin' and slappin' niggaz
Same niggaz takin' this squad shit for a joke
Pull the pistol 'bout to smoke, they choke, blood spill at the pope
Their cowards, gettin' rained on like a shower
Live form NYC, E, Red keepin' me, Mally G
Master the ceremonial, off the meat rack
Call you weak, keep gats, pandemonium
Phony tough Tony ones, we dip dip die in the place
House, that was some hardcore rap
Realer than black, black baseball bats and black gats
'Bout to black out on all you wack cats
MC's it's the final countdown
You look tired can you go the round
If you can, I'll slap your hands and give you credit
If not, I'll turn around and say forget it
MC's it's the final countdown
You look tired can you go the round
If you can, I'll slap your hands and give you credit
Die Szenerie beginnt am Weltraumbahnhof bei Kunur,
Zweiter-Klasse-Ticket in die Ukraine, denk',was mach' ich hier?
Keine Zeit für Zweifel oder gar für Angst,mit meinem Raumanzug in der Hand
sitz' ich im Versorgungsturmlift, warte gespannt
auf die Plattform, die mich zum Shuttel bringt.
Der Ton, der erklingt, zeigt mir, daß wir angekommen sind.
Das oberste Deck- der Anzug-Chek-
verläuft genau nach Plan,so daß ich chillen kann, noch zwei,
drei Atemzüge Erdenluft genießen kann.
Die Reisezeit, die vor mir liegt, ist gleich der einer Schwangerschaft, doch raus
aus dem Gedanken,weil im
Cockpit die Luke offen klafft, gleich einem Schacht.
ich gleite in den Liegesitz und mit mir das gefühl der Macht.
werde
Weltenbummler,Pionier wie Hardy Krüger, und das über Nacht.
Die Gurte angezogen und die grüne Lampe leuchtet,
während sich Spannung in mir breit macht und meine Hände befeuchtet.
Über meinem Kopf ein roter Hebel und auf dem steht "Pull", beginne bei der Zehn und
zähle runter bis Null.
Countdown unless you're juvenile let's go
God bless your miss somewhere
We're sick for the big sun
It doesn't matter what you did
And if you did it like you been told
True and everlasting that's what you want
True and everlasting that's what you want
Don't say no your breakfast tears are gone
Resist or let go, you're borderline withdrawn
Down, unlit from the bottom there is a misfit
Better than it looks, better than it looks
Better than it looks, better than it looks
We're sick, sick, sick, sick, sick,
sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick
We're sick for the big sun
We rumble and trip, trip, trip, trip, trip, trip, trip
I realize that too
Hear the lonesome bell, is this knowledge?
Ask forgiveness you know somewhere
You're fixed to an atom
It doesn't matter what you did
And if you did it right let's go
Cruel and everlasting that's what you want
Cruel and everlasting that's what you want
Don't say no your breakfast tears are gone
Do you remember when 21 years was old?
Down unlit does it matters that you care the less?
Better than it looks, better than it looks
Better than it looks, better than it looks
We're sick, sick, sick, sick, sick,
sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick
We're sick for the big sun
We rumble and trip, trip, trip, trip, trip, trip, trip
I realize that too
True and everlasting, it didn't last that long...
We're the lonesome, we're the lonesome yell
True and everlasting, it didn't last that long
True and everlasting, it didn't last that long...
We're the lonesome, we're the lonesome yell
True and everlasting, it didn't last that long
I now see you through your own eyes
You are more than you realise
I can't explain what you can't see
But you are all that fills me
Countdown, counting down for me
All roads are leading to your town
And it's some place I've never been
Countdown, counting down for me
Please don't seduce me with your smile
Because i'm only human
Countdown to you
Countdown to you
I try not to but I'm only falling faster
Countdown to you
Not supposed to but i need you here
forever
It's not like this is meant to be
You are so much better than me
I can't explain what's happening
But I'm losing this fight
Feel a way home but you never
Embraced in all desires
Hoshi garu karada kotogo tokiru made
Hayaku nukedasu nara nogase nai moment
To save you from the dark
I want it higher.
To get into his light
Stay on my side
Mabushii sekai wo misetai
Let us exceed
Mou jikan ga nai are you in?
13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2
Afraid of all the science
Soredemo motomeru shinka shitai
Shizumu seijaku kara shinobi yoru countdown
It is the final call!
I want it higher
To get into his sight
Stay on my side
Kara wo hiki saite change our fate
Let us exceed
Chi no hate made are you in?
I wanna be there.
Need to be closer.
I want it higher.
To get into his light.
Stay on my side
Mabushii sekai wo misetai
Let us exceed
Mou jikan ga nai todoke!
Stay on my side
Genkai wo ima koete
Frail is the world
Yume ja nai sa are you in?
Driving down your street
At one twenty miles or so
I know just where to go
I'm standing outside of your door
So lost in love
And there is so little time
I've got to have you here right with me
Or I'm going out of my mind
(Chorus)
I Countdown the time
I Countdown the time till you're mine
I Countdown the time
I Countdown the time till you're mine
Oh for a taste of your love and your lips
Such forbidden desire
I can't get much higher
Or try to explain
So lost in love
And there is so little time
I've got to have you here right with me
Or I'm going out of my mind
(Chorus)
Countdown, baby coming down your street
I'll knock down all your suitors that I meet
Countdown, baby there's no need to fear
12 years of struggle, 12 years of hustle
For 12 years couldn't stay my ass out of trouble
Ran 12 spots to sell grass in the jungle
For 12 years a motherfucker stashed on the humble!
Like 11 big dudes on the line of scrimmage
I spit with the strength of Popeye on spinach.
Give me 11 minutes, nigga, and your girl is finished
Leave your ass heartbroke and your world diminshed
Caught 10 cases, 10 different files
Seen the same face rocking 10 different smiles
Bag 10 dimes with 10 different styles
Glad the Knicks got rid of Chris Childs
There was these wild ass cats thought they had 9 lives,
Trapped on 9th behind enemy lines
It was two against 9 no escape this time
Tapped their spine with a couple blasts from a 9
[Chorus:]
Yo my brother is you with it, hey oh yeah I'm with it
Yo son is you committed, I stay committed
Making the digits, 4 ways to split it
Souls Infinite, ya got to come and get it
[x1]
My moms used to tell me I should talk with my father
You dropped 1 album with 8 different authors
8 different A&Rs;, 88 offers
I stick to Showdown, why even bother
I take 7 MCs put them in a line
Add 7 more brothas that think they can rhyme
It'll take 7 more before I go for mine
Now that's 21 MCs ate up at the same time
6 million ways to die you know the rest
I've got a 6th sense for shorties with big breasts
It used to be who's the best and who's fresh
You got something to say player take it to my chest
This is real hip hop like Fab Five Fred
We murderin' tracks like 5 shots to the head
You dead. We do it so the kids get fed
Sing the song if you heard what I said
[Chorus x1]
Build 4 corners, cross 4 waters
Bloods' been shed for the New World Order
A penny 4 my thoughts, I need 4 quarters
I've got 4 names 4 my unborn daughter
I knew this European chick with 3 black kids
With no idea of what black is
Had 3 different niggas in just 3 years
Even let my man hit it off just 3 beers
That's 2 too many, 2 peas in a pod
2 MCs or not, we're like Mo Cheeks & Doc
2 tumtables and 2 mics to rock
Blow up spots to set up our own shop
Square One life to live so this life we give
1 Love to the ones who pump our shit
Thump our shit in 1 room appartments
COUNTDOWN
Get up in the morning sun is shinin
Grab my telephone the heat is rising

Remember those times we spent together
do not forget when everything was better
when you were with me.
Or when you thought it was just for me.
Remember when we wanted to call
to tell i miss you at all.
I wish to return to those old times,
when I was the only boy in your mind.
When you were my Juliet and I your Romeo.
Now I ask please do not go.
Now only you leave without saying goodbyes
I can not stand all the lies,
But remember.
Three, two, one,
I know you're not ready for a second round,
Six, five, four,
does not need anything serious for now,
Ten, nine, eight, seven,
when our relationship is not falling down
must give an account, a countdown.
Eh finished to say sorry
I want to continue with this love story
Please love,
I'm not asking for anything more.
When you were my Juliet and I your Romeo
Now I ask please do not go
do not forget everything we live
all the magic we feel,
Don't forget.
Three, two, one,
I know you're not ready for a second round,

Since we know that ours is wonderful
I will not forget what we never
Not the same way you love was a miracle.

to the ground
(Break Rise Blowing)
Rise and pray

I leave my home of despair
More and more, more
(Oohhh!!)
Just break the silence

You could come out avowed - but you'll never make it out unbowed
You could come out sound - but you'll never make it out unbound
What's beyond the shroud - more than heaven or hell could allow
Something I could live for - count down
What's beyond the paces - and the bored and comtemptful faces
Something I could die for - countdown
You could come out determined - but you'll never make it out unburdened
You could come out with power - but you'll never make it out from underneath the tower
What's beyond the shroud - more than heaven or hell could allow
Something I could live for - count down
What's beyond the paces - and the bored and comtemptful faces
Don't go to sleep.
There is a story I would like to tell you
About a girl who went to the zoo one sunny afternoon.
And she saw animals in homes that weren't their own.
So she thought, "I will set them free and we will run away."
So she packed her things and built a rocket ship with room for a few.
Then she said "Hey who would like to come? I am going to the moon."
So they came: an elephant and a couple of baboons.
And they made a list of things that they would need on the moon:
Oxygen, snacks, drinks and a couple things to read.
Then they called their moms and launched at dawn.
That's where the story ends.
Stop and wait, Hold your applause,
3, 2, 1, But the camera's pause,
Lights go out and the frame goes soft,
The color's bled and the picture's off.
Time, It seems to stop,
You get a little bit but not a lot,
Dangerous kids, A bunch of misfits,
Show you what we got.
Yeah, it's on tonight,
I'm gone tonight,
Playing way too hard just to fall tonight.
Believe when i say when it's over,
You won't believe anything that you saw tonight.
So stop and wave to the silent crowd,
3, 2, 1, and the empty sound.
Applause, Applause,
Before we bring the fucking house down.
Oh, It's taking control now.
Breaking open the gates,
And tearing them now.
It feeds on the violence.
Just a number to them,
A face in the crowd.
Unbreakable,
You're selling yourself like a brand,
And don't you know
How much you pay
To sit in the palm of their hand?
I'm just a fake, just a lie.
You build it up and i'll break it down.
And the truth, Yeah, It's mine,
And it's really all that i got.
And time, It seems to stop,
You get a little bit but not a lot.
Dangerous kids, A bunch of misfits,
Show you what we got.
Open your eyes,
You're treading water.
Before you drown in the truth,
Become the lie.
I'd die tonight just to feel alive.
(You're waking up)
We'll die tonight just to feel alive.
This is a countdown to nothing,
Here in the palm of my hand.
So will you let me destroy you,
Like the machine that i am?
And tonight,
