Artist - somebody didn't hear me
(What'd he say?)
Artist - formerly known as Prince
You gotta get your peace on
Peace, whoa oh
Peace
That's what we're here for
And not to war
When the war upon people of color thru needles
Designed to disease instead of relieve
When it ceases
I'll be a man of peace
(Say what)
When this mask of vendetta
Like tears on the face of Coretta
Roll down and go away
I'll be happier
(Happier)
I'll be a man of peace
Everybody say!
Peace, whoa oh
Peace
That's what we're here for
(That's what we're here for)
And not to war
When the time that we spend
Watching TV depends on
Whether or not it destroy or transcend
Then I won't need
(I won't, I won't)
Won't need a warranty
When the power of the hour is not yours but is ours
And the faces we see reflect all that we be indeed
There'll be a jubilee
Everybody say
Peace, whoa oh
Peace
That's what we're here for
(That's what we're here for)
And not to war
Bass
(Talkin' about freedom)
The rewards that we share will be based on what's fair
And not the curliness or the thick of our hair
Real competition, if you dare!
Music is our middle name
And we don't wanna play your game
So when the mergers you make are with us
And you take a fair slice of the cake
That we bake then you break
That would be real cool
But y'all wanna act like fools!
(What's up with that?)
Can't we all just get along?
And have peace, whoa oh
Peace
That's what we're here for
And not to war
Peace
Peace
Peace, whoa oh
Peace
That's what we're here for
And not to war
In case some of y'all didn't hear it right
I didn't call him, his name wasn't the artist
Artist, Artist
Artist - every syllable must be heard
Artist - formerly known as Prince

The war has started

Who wins? Who wins?

Turn your head, close your eyes
There's people out there dying, oh
With so much wealth in the land
Why is this land starving?
As I look over this place
There's so much hatred
If I could I'd pack my bags
And hitch hike to heaven
Spirit move
Oh move

All through the land
Won't you move
Oh move, oh move, oh move
Oh move, yeah
This is what I prayer for

(Shine your light on me) your peace
(Shine your light on me) your peace
More and more, I can't say no
So afraid of letting go
If there's something I can grab
You can bet I'll pay the tab
Counting all the flowers
Waste the precious hours
I need to find some peace
All these problems on my mind
Make it hard for me to think
There is no way I can stop
My poor brain is gonna pop
And I don't have a purpose
Scattered on the surface
I need to find some peace
And all the broken tethers
We can bring together
I need to find some peace
I need to find some peace
Meaningless wars
Starving tribes
A promise of victory
Coloured with lies
A red single dot
On your tactical screen
A hundred thousand men that will never be seen
Peace can't survive
In this global climat of hostility
Peace can't survive
Why solve the problem when it's easier to kill?
A nation in need of attention
A terrorist action
As an answer to supression
With a bloodbath displayed
On primetime CNN
There are just too many points to make
Peace can't survive
In this global climat of hostility
Peace can't survive
[Verse 1]
Spit it till you say lil West's a little beast
And make the middle west blow like the Middle East
PEACE
Peace, couldn't afford the S-Class
So I had to cop the baby mama benz JEEP
We'll put 50 I get this on the first take
But that 50'll break the bank
Back when my ATM was crazy slim
Had a girl nickname sprewell 'cause when I tried to stop
She still made me spend
Back when Avies was in, my dog crazy kid had eighty of them
It's time to hit the dance floor get crazy again
And get that +CashMoney+ like Baby and Slim
Pull up in something tinted, so tinted she squinted
Peace will come to me
Peace will come to me
I'm leaving bitterness behind
This time I'm cleaning up my mind
There is no space for the regrets
I will remember to forget
Just look at me
I am walking of incoming
Look at the frequencies of which I vibrate
I'm going to light up the world
Peace will come to me
Peace will come to me
I'm leaving anger in the past
With all the shadows that it caused
There is radar in my heart
I should have trusted from the start
Just look at me
I am a living act of holiness
Giving all the positive virtues that I possess
I'm going to light up the world
Peace will come to me
Just wait and see
Peace will come to me
It's meant to be
Peace will come to me
Just wait and see
Peace will come to me
It's inevitability
Peaceful minds.. in a land of war
Seek peace of mind, through mental peacefulness
Peacefulness, peacefulness, peace-ful-ness
is in the mind of the beholder
Behold, my mental piece
could shatter your peace, to pieces
Pieces and portions of rhythmic distortion relax me
The echos reverb and feedback of reality disturb my peace
forcing me to retreat, to the below beneath
Down a step and a step and a step and a step
and a step beyond
to a level of my own
private, mystic, ritualistic, culturalistic sanity
Yet some say that I am insane
Is that not ironic? My soul not sonic
as I flow through the tonic, of life I find
that the strife behind, that pushes and pulls
and pulls and pushes me
into all of the bullshit that I experience from day to day
is the reason.. for my search, or journey, or struggle
to find.. the broken pieces of the sign
that combine, to form the crooked line
Intro:
Beenie Man:

Devonte & The Prembroke Call Choir:
And all we are saying is give peace a chance
And all we are saying is give peace a chance
Repeat Verse 1
Peace like a river flows within me
Love like a waterfall pours on me
I'll never be alon, can't you see
Peace like a river flows on...
Hope is a fire burning in my soul
Life is eternal with you Lord
Who could ever ask for more
Peace like a river flows on...
..on, think of all I could have missed
..oh, I just can't get over this
Faith if a light shining down on me
Mercy is a wind blowing over me
The grace of God has set me free
There's a place that I know, where the sycamores grow
And daffodils have their fun
Where the cares of the day seem to slowly fade away
And the glow of the evening sun
Peace, when the day is done
If I go there real late; let my mind meditate
On everything to be done
If I search deep inside; let my conscience be my guide
Then the answers are sure to come
Don't have to worry none
When you find peace of mind, leave your worries behind
Don't say that it can't be done
With a new point of view, life's true meaning comes to you
And the freedom you seek is won
Peace is for everyone
Peace is for everyone
Peace is for everyone
Verse 1:
Lord, You told me if I would
keep my mind stayed on You,
peace You've given me,
You gave me victory.
Chorus:
There will be peace, sweet peace.
There will be peace, everlasting peace.
Verse 2:
The sweetest name I know,
I'll tell it, I will share it wherever I go.
He calms all of my fears
and then He dries all of my tears.
Chorus
Bridge:
There will be joy, sweet joy.
There will be joy, everlasting joy.
There will be love, sweet love.
There will be love, everlasting love.
There will be life, sweet life.
There will be life, everlasting life.

Peace that surpasses all understanding;

is the reason.. for my search, or journey, or struggle
to find.. the broken pieces of the sign
that combine, to form the crooked line
that we call.. peace y'all
Though we're strangers, still I love you
I love you more than your mask
And you know you have to trust this to be true
And I know that's much to ask
But lay down your fears, come and join this feast
He has called us here, you and me
And may peace rain down from Heaven
Like little pieces of the sky
Little keepers of the promise
Falling on these souls
This drought has dried
In His Blood and in His Body
In the Bread and in this Wine
Peace to you
Peace of Christ to you
And though I love you, still we're strangers
Prisoners in these lonely hearts
And though our blindness separates us
Still His light shines in the dark
And His outstretched arms are still strong enough to reach
Behind these prison bars to set us free
So may peace rain down from Heaven
Like little pieces of the sky
Little keepers of the promise
Falling on these souls the drought has dried
In His Blood and in His Body
In this Bread and in this Wine
Peace to you
Peace of Christ to you
And may peace rain down from Heaven
Like little pieces of the sky
Like those little keepers of the promise
Falling on these souls the draught has dried
In His Blood and in His Body
In the Bread and in this Wine
Peace to you
Peace of Christ to you
Peace to you
I have come from so far away
Down the road of my own mistakes
In the hope you could hear me pray
Oh Lord, keep me in Your reach
How I've longed through these wasted years
To outrun all the pain and fear
Turned to stone from my uncried tears
And now it's Your grace I seek
Love won't compromise
It's a gift, it's a sacrifice
My soul renewed and my heart released
In you I'll find my peace
Oh wondrous child of whom the Angels sing
Know my joy, feels my suffering
Shining star make this love you bring
So bright that I may believe
That my way will not be lost
From now on, till that river's crossed
My soul renewed and my spirit free
Alone in the valley
I cry for You
To fill me with Your peace
So, when the lightening strikes
The thunder roars around me
Still I live in peace
You ask that I
Be still and know You are God
Be still and know You are God
When the fires rage
When the storms surround me
Still I live in peace
Though the mountains fall
Crashing to the ocean
Still I live in peace
You ask that I
Be still and know You are God
Be still and know You are God
Be still and know You are God
Be still and know You are God
Lead me through the valley
Lead me by the streams
Restore me and draw me to You, God
To You I lift my soul
To You who makes me whole
Gently, You hold me close to You
Close to You
Be still and know You are God
Be still and know You are God
Be still and know You are God
Be still and know You are God
You're near me
You love me
You hold me
You reach me
You still me
You move me
You draw me to You, God
You hold me
You reach me
You still me
You move me
You draw me to You, God
A choice must be made!
In these times of war today
A choice must be made that no one wants to make
The result is inevitable
No one wins but a side must be taken
It's them or us, we don't want it this way
Death is certain and lives are at stake
Whose children must die? Whose buildings must fall?
No one can see eye to eye, all we see is hate
Our freedom fighters are their terrorists
Their heroes are our nemesis
Peace! Is! Not!
I can't always nail it down
like I'd like to say I can
And I don't always have it here
like I'd like to think I do
And it's been very long, my dear
since I've held it close to me
I have wanted for so long
to be among the scattered few
CHORUS:
And the night is mostly deeper than I want for it to be
The rain is often harder in the dark
I'm often closer to the answer than I think I am
Cause I'm usually just about to fall apart
I've given up on feelings now
You know they tear me up too much
But even now I'm feeling out
these thoughts out on this page
My God, you are the only thing
I know is farther down
a suffering companion
Even to the end of the age
BRIDGE:
And I cry, No. No. I don't want this desert anymore
I said, No. No. I want a Rock of water, Fountain
Evermore
Peace I leave with you
My peace I give to you
Not as this world gives
do I give to you
Let not your heart be troubled but believe
I have come from so far away
Down the road of my own mistakes
In the hope you can hear me pray
Oh, Lord keep me in your reach
How I've longed through these wasted years
To outrun all the pain and fear
Turned to stone from my uncried tears
And now it's your grace I seek
Love won't compromise
It's a gift
It's a sacrifice
My soul renewed
My heart released
In you I'll find my peace
Oh wondrous child of whom the angels sing
Know my joy
Feel my suffering
Shining star make this love you bring
So bright that I may believe
That my way will not be lost
From now on, 'til that rivers crossed
My soul renewed
My spirit free
[Verse 1:]
Lord, You told me if I would
Keep my mind stayed on You,
Peace You've given me,
You gave me victory.
[Chorus:]
There will be peace, sweet peace.
There will be peace, everlasting peace.
[Verse 2:]
The sweetest name I know,
I'll tell it, I will share it wherever I go.
He calms all of my fears
And then He dries all of my tears.
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
There will be joy, sweet joy.
There will be joy, everlasting joy.
There will be love, sweet love.
There will be love, everlasting love.
There will be life, sweet life.
There will be life, everlasting life.
[Vamp:]
Peace that surpasses all understanding;
How is there going to be peace?
When there is no justice, oh no, oh
Someone is taking more than their share
Of the bounties of this land and that's not fair
So little people got more than they need
While there's so many hungry mouths in the world to feed
And I am would give my heart so true
And I will give my love for you, tell me
How is there going to be peace?
When there is no justice, oh no, oh
Someone is taking my share
And they just don't give a damn, no they don't care
So, you just might as well face it
'Cause there ain't no other way to erase it
And I will give my heart so true
It's never been my intention
to purposely shun none of
the people around me
but now I've finally realized
I'm all on my own
I've always had the opinion
that if I can live with myself
somebody else can do as well
But now I'm my room
and I don't feel at home
When I'm in a crowd
how come I feel so alone ?
Every place feels like home
where I'm alone
I've got no peace of mind
I've got no peace of mind
The bigger the population
the fewer you can see
You really know
It's an obvious paradox
or at least it should
I've lost most of my visions
but sometimes before I go to sleep
I swear I see eternity
And it doesn't scare me
though I wish it would
I've got no peace of mind
After every conflict the winner is reclaimed
Ruthless men who were insanely brave
Nobody won anything
Than masses of bitterness and insanity
It's time for peace
It's time to forgive
Slain, humiliated losers
Thank their conquerors
For saving the precious lives
For raping their priceless wives
It's time for peace, it's time to forgive
But neither of the sides will ever forget
It's time for peace, it's time to forget
The traumatized ones will never be able to forgive
The inglorious casualites of war
Were doomed to bleed to death
In the eyes of the winners
Terrors and horrors of war
It's time for peace, it's time to forgive
But neither of the sides will ever forget
It's time for peace, it's time to forget
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Peace to the world
I see a baby in a crib
Reaching up for Mama's arms
Love is rising in their hearts - oh yeah
There is a man standing on the street
Shouting loud above the crowd
Saying amen to everyone one around - oh yeah
I see a man who loved his land
Laying lifeless on the ground
He said the time is now
To bring peace to the world
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Peace to the world
We build a wall of stone
As high as the trees are tall
Higher then the mountains
Stronger then us all - oh yeah
Some day that wall will crumble
Tumble and fall, the sun will shine
And bring peace to us all
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Bring peace to us all
Bring peace to us all
We build a wall of stone
As high as the trees are tall
Higher then the mountains
Stronger then us all - oh yeah
Some day that wall will crumble
Tumble and fall, the sun will shine
And bring peace to us all
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Peace to us all
Bound to your side and trapped in silence
Just a possession
Is the sex or only violence
That feeds your obsession
You send me to a broken state
Where I can take the pain
Just long enough
That I am numb
That I just disappear
So go on and fight me
Go on and scare me to death
Tell me I asked for it
Tell me I'll never forget
You could give me anything but love
Anything but love
Does it feel good tonight
Hurt me with nothing
Some sort of sick satisfaction
You get from mind fucking
Oh stripped down to my naked core
The darkest corners of my mind are yours
That's where you live
That's where you breathe
So go on and fight me
Go on and scare me to death
Dare me to leave you
Tell me I'd never forget
You could give me anything but love
Anything but love
Without any faith
Without any light
Can dare me to live
Can dare me to lie
Inside I am dead
So go on and fight me
Go on and scare me to death
I'll be the victim
You'll be the voice in my head
You could give me anything but love
Anything but love
Anything but love
Anything but love
Anything but love
He is my light and my salvation
Whom have I to fear?
In His secret place I'll hide and pray
That I might hear a simple word
Oh, how I would have despaired
If You had not come found me there
I can lean against Your throne
And find my peace, find my peace
And when my enemies draw near
I pray that they will find
That I'm protected and secure
All tempests He will bind with a mighty word
Oh, how I would have despaired
If You had not come found me there
I can lean against Your throne
And find my peace, find my peace
He is my light and my salvation
Calmer than the sky
Far away so blue
Land of living God
Grant Your peace on earth
We can feel You move
And cannot stay the same
The winds are blowing strong
God of heaven come
Breathe peace
Breathe Your peace on us
So we might breathe You deep
Breathe peace
Breathe Your peace on us
Land of the living God
If we are in the way
Move us to the side
God forgive our wrongs
Rest Your hands on us
All the world is Yours
Let us not forget
It was You who bore the cross
God of comfort breathe
Breathe peace
Breathe Your peace on us
So we might breathe You deep
Breathe peace
Breathe Your peace on us
When all is you then all is good
I reach for tomorrow
While your secrets wander into lies
And all your grace is falling out of sight
Pre-chorus :
I know you know
That when I look at you
I can't save myself
Chorus :
I give you peace and tranquility
You make me doubt your sincerity
But I'll hang around to be your clown
That you can push around
Well I'll be your clown
Eloquence is hard to find
You remain protected
You criticize and apologize endlessly
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
I'll be your clown
(Solo)
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
I'll be your clown
I hear the people asking where will it end
And when will man's fight ever cease
To me the it seems that the answer is love
For where there is love there is peace
In the beginning there was a garden
And everything within was filled with love
Nobody noticed they all were different
And life was gentle like a peaceful dove
There was no evil in the garden
Nobody had been taught to hate
So everyone was loving, just like the good book said
Too bad that it was lost
And we must stop making war and make
Peace, for every brother
Peace, for one another
Peace, enough for everyone
They say the word is love
If we just learn to love
For where there is love there is
Peace, throughout the land
Peace, for every man
Peace, come take my hand
Peace, where there is love there is peace
I saw a picture of the garden
Before the apple tasting had begun
There was a serpent, a lamb, some lions
And other beasts all laying down as one
We gotta get back to that garden
Together with forgotten friends
We gotta take the time to plant us a brand new seed
To make our garden grow, start again, make a friend
Only then will we have
Peace, for every brother
Peace, for one another
Peace, enough for everyone
They say the word is love
If we just learn to love
For where there is love there is
Peace, throughout the land
Peace, for every man
Peace, come take my hand
Peace, where there is love there is peace
Don't put it off until tomorrow
Peace cannot wait another day
Spreadin' love and love each other
Until we get the world, each person, everyone
Every man, hand in hand, to make a stand for love and
Peace, for every brother
Peace, for one another
Peace, enough for everyone
They say the word is love
If we just learn to love
For where there is love there is
Peace, throughout the land
Peace, for every man
Peace, come take my hand
Peace, where there is love there is peace
Peace, peace, peace, oh I got to have it
They say the word is love
If we just learn to love
For where there is love there is
Peace, every boy
Peace, every girl
Peace, all over the world
They say the word is love
If we just learn to love
For where there is love there is
Peace
I give to you my peace
I leave with you
when trouble, trouble comes in your life
Peace i give to you
it repeats this part several times
then the vamp:
when darkness comes I am with you
in pain and fear I will hold you
no matter what you're going through
Peace I leave with you
I heard about these kids walkin' on a train track
Forty tons of steel bearing down on them
And they just turned their backs
Channel five, asked the one who survived
'Son, why'd you do such a thing?
No reply but his eyes cried
Peace, I just need some peace
If I have to I'll do anything
Don't need your love or your sympathy
But I cannot go on living without peace
I know a man who sits and stares
At a kitchen cabinet door
That hides a whiskey bottle
He hasn't touched since
Well, this is day four
He told his wife this time he'd try
As she was just about to leave
No reply, but her eyes cried
Peace, I just need some peace
If I have to I'll do anything
Don't need your love or your sympathy
But I cannot go on living without peace
I have a friend who's looking for God
A few good self-help books is as far as she's gotten
Say a prayer tonight for that desperate child
Say a prayer tonight for that man and his wife
Say a prayer for the searching, hurting
For the one thing we all need
If you don't know what to say
You are my peace
You are my peace
You are my peace
And I worship thee
[repeat]
You have delivered my soul
When the battle was against me
And Your promises You kept
That Your Word will set me free
(If I just) keep my mind on thee
You'll keep me in perfect peace
You have delivered my soul
(From the snare of the enemy)
In the midst of my storm
You held and protected me
(If I just) keep my mind on thee
You'll keep me in perfect peace
You have delivered my soul
(From the snare of the enemy)
In the midst of my storm
You held and protected me
(If I just) keep my mind on thee
You'll keep me in perfect peace
[Vamp:]
Peace
My Peace
Peace

Braintax:
You know Im moving on a positive course
In the future plan to have a 100 acres of sorts
On my ranch in France, barbecues in the summer
Cash Moneys on the decks cuttin up Funky Drummer
My kids run around freestylin with their friends
Me and my girl plus my friends and their wives get the bends
Smoking prime marijuana picked straight off the stem
Breaking competition and my son scores a 10
Everybody to the lake at the top of the estate
Lifes great! Me and my Brazilian mate Joselito
Bought a crate of the finest live bait
So we push out the boats, just an hour to wait
Fresh skate on the barbi everybody congregate
Fresh fish that's my favourite dish, pass your plate
Cos tonight we watch the sunset contented
Everybody saying Peace and I know that they meant it
Ill leave my spirit in the garden like Marlon
And bury me up in the orchard but leave at least a yard on
Ill be growing still, absorbing knowledge at a crazy rate
Analyse the soil contemplating on my lazy state
Yeah Im chillin down here with the worms
Now Im gone though, I don't have to worry about germs
Im spreading out my carbon giving back to life
Spreading heat through the ground to my kids and wife
Its not the afterlife, it's just the way we still affect
Piece of pie, peace of mind plus a helping of respect
Focus on the wide sky, white wine
Rising early with the sun and watch the stars all night
Yeah the futures bright
The futures Resting On Your Godly Breath - Inner Vision
(Rainbow) that's if you get my drift
I feel my sense like Im sitting with my son on a cliff
Watch the sunset and face the wind smoking a spliff
Peace like the time you wake up and you can lie there
And feel well-balanced irrespective of the nightmare
Todays another day kinda like the other 6
Weetabix..check my emails.
J Christie soundscapes, you fill in the details
My thoughts spark pre-sales
Im trying to get off this rock before the sea swells
My peace gels better everyday if I save
But if I spend it all at once heading for an early grave give me..
You came like the sunshine
Your life became my world
A world I always dreamt of
With a boy or a girl
Every moment is a picture
Each word’s a perfect sound
In your eyes I see the future
And I pray to God I'll always be around
And hear you speak with conviction
Teach us to believe
That love will bring us together
So we can achieve
A peaceful world for tomorrow
So that our children can live
Without the fear and the sorrow
Teach us to believe
I awake to watch you sleeping
And the smile’s still on your face
Just keep dreaming and believing
That everything you want will come your way
And you will speak with conviction
Teach us to believe
That love will bring us together
So we can achieve
A peaceful world for tomorrow
So that our children can live
Without the fear and the sorrow
Teach us to believe
Don't be afraid to run
Life doesn’t wait for anyone, oh no
Trust how you feel inside
And always and always believe
To hear you speak with conviction
Teach us to believe
That love will bring us together
So we can achieve
A peaceful world for tomorrow
So that our children can live
Listen to my message everyone
You’ve got to raise up your voice in song
And if we all join hands together
We can change this world for the better (for the better)
Peace doesn't have to be a dream [2x]
Your infatuation with segregation
Is making the world cry
You give your thanks when you fill your banks
But the hungry still die
Peace doesn't have to be a dream [2x]
What is the danger in feeding a stranger?
We should not be fighting
We should be uniting
Baddy up baddy up baddy up bah [4x]
Peace doesn't, peace doesn't, peace doesn't,
peace doesn't have to be a dream [4x]
Listen to my message everyone
You’ve got to raise up your voice in song
And if we all join hands together
I heard about these kids walkin' on a train track
Forty tons of steel bearin' down on them
And they just turned their backs
Channel 5 asked the one who survived
"Son, why'd you do such a thing?"
No reply but his eyes cried
(chorus)
Peace, I just need some peace
If I have to, I'll do anything
Don't need your love or your sympathy
But I cannot got on living without peace
I know a man who sits and stares at kitchen cabinet door
He hides a whiskey bottle he hasn't touched since
Well, this is day four
He told his wife, this time he would try
She was just about to leave
No reply but her eyes cried
(chorus)
I have a friend who's looking for God
A few good self-help books is as far as she's gotten
Say a prayer tonight for that desperate child
Say a prayer tonight for that man and his wife
Say a prayer for the hurtin' searchin' for the one thing we all need
If you don't know what to say
Look up to Heaven's face
And pray peace
If you're in bed listening to this song
you can be sure nothing's gonna go wrong.
If there's peace on Earth, peace
peace on Earth, peace.
And to all a good night and to all a good night
I can't pray for the rains to stop
the winds to subside
But I can pray for peace
I won't ask that the mountains
be removed for me
I will pray for peace
Chorus:
Peace, peace flow over me
Peace, peace fill my soul
Peace, peace give me victory
With God's peace
I no longer fear those storms
Verse
I don't know all the answers
to all the trials I faced
but I can pray for peace
And I may have to walk blindly
trusting in my savior's grace
that I will pray for peace
Chorus
Ending:
Peace, peace give me victory
With God's peace
I no longer fear those storms
stop now recall all you’ve done can you put your trust in
what blows away feeling you’re chasing nothing your hands
are empty what have you become you look for hope in
something that will give you peace for just a time but
peace cannot be found by you for you are looking in the
dark the rain falls the sun is hiding no light to shine
in to bring you warmth listen the cold is coming it’s
Peace (peace)
No peace (no peace)
No friends coming back from Greece
No bombs to ensure there's a ceasefire cease
And no cascades
No savage detectives to evade
And you will never see the alligator's glade
Where Agamemnon drowned the violent night shade
Peace
No peace
No crystal cathedral to lease
No no dancing in the basement must immediately cease
By the order, by the order of the Grand Diocese
And the important event to behold (to behold)
Is when we purge the terror in your bones (terror in your bones)
And the important event to behold (to behold)
Is when we purge the terror in your bones (terror in your bones)
Oh when we purge the terror in your bones (terror in your bones)
We gonna purge the terror in your bones (terror in your bones)
No peace (no peace)
No peace (no peace)
'Cause you will never fear the alligator's teeth
And you will never have protection from the drunken police
The dancing in the basement oh darling must cease
And the important event to behold (to behold)
Is when we purge the terror in your bones (the terror in your bones)
And the important event to behold (to behold)
Is when we purge the terror in your bones (terror in your bones)
We gonna purge the terror in your bones (the terror in your bones)
We gonna purge the fear in your bones (the terror in your bones)
We gonna purge the fear in your bones (the terror in your bones)
We gonna purge the fear in your bones (the terror in your bones)
Oh-oh-oh no suicide
Oh-oh-oh (no suicide)
(No suicide) [repeated until the end]
Hold on to the edge no suicide
Hold on to the edge no suicide
Hold on to the edge no suicide
No suicide, hold on to the edge no suicide
No suicide, hold on to the edge no suicide
As a sailor sails on sin
As a sailor sips his vodka and his gin
As a sailor sails on sin
You're recently vicious
You used to be delicious
And everything just isn't enough enough enough
Any word you cry
Anything you throw
Any tide you change
Any flame you blow
Is never ever ever gonna break your fame
Forever ever ever gonna taste the same
If the world is just a bubble
And we were just a scribble
Then baby you're a riddle
I give I give it up
Any word you cry
Anything you throw
Any tide you change
Any flame you blow
Is never ever ever gonna break your fame
Forever ever ever gonna taste the same
Sit down and communicate
Words drift through my brain
If we were born to hesitate
From the valley of the jungle, to the bottom of the sea
You're a river in Bongo, just a heart in ecstasy
From the forest in Arden where I reside, blood will be blood
Back in Arden, you twist, deprive blood to be
You vibe so hard
And you live this forever
We spit blood in the sun,
we spit blood in the ocean
We spit blood in the sun,
we spit blood in the ocean
As we plunge into the ocean, the waves they pull us down
For a moment I'm open, for blood to be
You vibe so hard
And you live this forever
We spit blood in the sun,
we spit blood in the ocean
We spit blood in the sun,
Peace with me now
I never thought I could know how
Sleep in Your love
I feel Your arms that keep me now
Could never be without You
Could never be without Your love
I feel You from above
Don't ever want to be alone
You'll never leave me drifting
You'd never take away the peace
Or run away from me
Need Your love
Ophelia hear my voice
And join us in my kingdom
A place without choice
But love is already there
When I feel my heart
Everything is getting clear
I know that this is real
I know that she is here
Oh...
I know that this is real
She's all right, no tears, no pain
She's all right
Neal, now you're discharged
Come back with the dead
The Venom isn't anymore at all
And see the one who only cared
When I feel your heart
Everything is getting clear
I know that this is real
I know that you are here
Oh...
I know that this is real
She's all right, no tears, no pain
She's all right
At last we're close again
In a holy peace that we'll reach
Love belongs to every man
Aurora creep, I wanna sleep forever
It seems as though you never go to bed
You take the dollar, I'll take the dime
Everything'll turn out right
You know you're fun, I'll take the jump
All I wanna know's how high
Higher than the sun
Higher than the sun
When in doubt just think about the ending
Wipe your eyes and strip down to the bone
You take the dollar, I'll take the dime
Everything'll turn out right
Tapping your teeth, shivering feet
The boulevard got so bright
Higher than the sun
Higher than the sun
You wanna play it cool, you wanna be the man
You wanna hold my heart in your hand
Yesterday I woke up, on the wrong side of your bed
I kept my eyes shut, but I saw you in my head
Time isn't frozen, it's melted in the sun
You're like a poison, you linger in my lungs
People tell me things about you, like you're toxic, it's no good
I'd never wanna break that daze, so cut loose and blow away
All I gotta do, all I gotta do is forget you
All I gotta do, all I gotta do is forget you
Take it or leave it
We're all gonna hurt our friends
Want it or need it
Some good things never end
People tell me things about you, like you're toxic, it's no good
I'd never wanna break that daze, so cut loose and blow away
All I gotta do, all I gotta do is forget you
All I gotta do, all I gotta do is forget you
I wanna blow away and sleep until we're dead
Stop trying to fill the heart shaped hole left in your chest
I wanna hesitate, run away and celebrate
All around the world, people seem to've heard
All I gotta do, all I gotta do is forget you
All I gotta do, all I gotta do is forget you
All I gotta do, all I gotta do is forget you
Close your eyes and don't let the hearty boys
Such a waste, cut your silky nose
Ooh-ooh, I don't wanna see you
Ooh-ooh, I don't wanna see you
You could be my ice age sugar
You lay me down, you make me shiver
Blow me like a floating feather
A movie doll, movie doll, movie doll forever
It's no surprise, she's in spiky jagged clothes
She's such a wraith, a lady of the sword
Ooh-ooh, I don't wanna see you
Ooh-ooh, I don't wanna see you
Ooh-ooh, I don't wanna see you
I don't wanna need you
You could be my ice age sugar
You lay me down, you make me shiver
Blow me like a floating feather
A movie doll, movie doll, movie doll
You could be my ice age sugar
You lay me down, you make me shiver
Blow me like a floating feather
Lil brick brain, are you ok?
Cos the world don't wanna spin today
There's a change in the order
Must be something in the water
Cos nothing really taste the same
It's not about the generation
It's not about our education
We don't need to think today
Cos you and me can slip away
You know, You're my sugarstone
I heard your soul
Kinda lost control
But you're here now and you never want to go
Cos baby in the dark
You vibe too hard
And it feels like you're steaming in the snow
It's not about the generation
It's not about our education
We don't need to think today
Cos you and me can slip away
You know, You're my sugarstone
You feel it in your brittle bones
You feel alive or feel alone
I really really need you to know
I know you've got a heavy little heart
And it seems as though your future is the past
And though your feet are made of lead
You've always had a feather head
You know
It's not about the generation
It's not about our education
We don't need to think today
Cos you and me can slip away
This feels like your last chance
To ever make the leap
Or hold on here forever
Or dive into the sea.
It feels like your mother
Has gone to set you free
You're loving every minute
It's chemical, a pesticide, a cannonball
You're lost in time.
You're such an animal
A filthy, a filthy animal
You're electric honey, you blow my brain
Face to face, we're all the same
You and me we're a waste of a paint
You're electric honey, electric
Baby put your fists down
Throw away your sword
Never beg or bother
Cause underneath the door,
Pieces come together (something's in the way)
Slowly feeling better (die another day)
You've never been a quitter (everything's okay)
Living for whatever (it's the usual or)
You're such an animal
A filthy, a filthy animal
You're electric honey, you blow my brain
Face to face, we're all the same
You and me we're a waste of a paint
You're electric honey, electric
You're electric honey, you blow my brain
Face to face, we're all the same
You and me we're a waste of a paint
You're electric honey, electric
You're such an animal
I taste ... of red
It's running through your vein,
It never seemed so dense,
Blood don't taste the same,
I'm ambling through the dunes,
Swallowing the sun,
It slowly starts to bruise,
The sun is in your eyes,
It seems like everybody's got their own little life,
She stole my mind ... ocean's eye,
It seems that she only learned to read between the lines,
And cross my heart if you hope to die.
I can say it's clean,
Just ask me what I saw,
Gushing from a window,
Just open up the door,
People on the mantelpiece,
In my ocean's eye,
I don't want you to be hurt,
But all you do is cry,
It seems that everybody's got their own little lives,
She stole my mind with her ocean's eye,
It seems that she only learned to read between the lines,
And cross my heart if you hope to die,
It seems everybody's got their own little lies,
She stole my mind with her ocean's eye,
It seems that she only learned to read between the lines,
I don't wanna go to school
I don't wanna take the call
I just wanna be a fool and get lovesick with you
I don't wanna move my head, lay around and die in bed
I don't wanna listen
I wanna get lovesick with you
I wanna get lovesick
I wanna get lovesick with you
I wanna get lovesick
I wanna get lovesick with you
I don't wanna make no sense
I don't wanna pay the rent
I just wanna lay down dead and get lovesick with you
I wanna get lovesick
I wanna get lovesick with you
I wanna get lovesick
I wanna get lovesick with you
You don't need to drink or eat, stay awake or go to sleep
Trust me baby, I'm the creep and I'm lovesick with you
And I'm lovesick with you
I wanna get lovesick (I don't wanna make no sense)
I wanna get lovesick with you (I don't wanna pay the rent)
I wanna get lovesick (I just wanna lay down dead)
I wanna get lovesick with you
I wanna get lovesick
I wanna get lovesick with you
I wanna get lovesick
Sit atop the Eiffel in your mind
If you're not happy wearing denim, you're a devil in disguise
Useless you're so useless you're so blind
If there's dew drops in the darkness
They're hiding from you're eyes
Hold on to your headlights
They hold your skin to your bones
Fold in fear of the white lines
You know we'll float forever
You know we'll float forever in the tide
Swim down through the fathoms of your soul
If you don't try and get your feet wet
You're a liar and a troll
Etchings, thousands, etchings of your eyes
If you don't climb atop the Eiffel
You'll never fall or die
Hold on to your headlights
They hold your skin to your bones
Fold in fear of the white lines
You know we'll float forever
