In national elections
In songs raised on high
With stirring emotions
As tears fill our eyes
In democratic fever
For national defense
I am a mountain
I am a mountain
I am a mountain
Like birds upon a fence
Like birds upon a fence
Young artists and writers
Please heed the call
What's good for business
Is good for us all
For as it is in nature
So it is in life
The weak among us perish
The weak among us perish
The weak among us perish
The strong alone survive
The strong alone survive
Voices like thunder
Decisions like steel
The past and the future
They belong to us all
From every mountain
The water and the land
The world that we've created
The world that we've created
The world that we've created
By working hand in hand
By working hand in hand
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Another perfect day, it's me to take the blame again
One more push and I might fall
Another lonely night, I'm crushed to the ground without you
No one is near to hear my call
People like you, pass me by, without a second glance
But that's o.k. I don't cry, you don't get a second chance
I'm no one without you, nobody but me
I'm no one without you, perfect singularity
Another lonely flight, my wings are strained I feel the air rush by
If only I could glide
After all is said, there's only one more thing to do
Find a place to rest my soul
People like you, pass me by, without a second glance
But that's o.k. I don't cry, there's no second chance
I'm no one without you, nobody but me
I'm no one without you, you don't care you don't see
I'm no one without you, nobody but me
I'm no one without you, perfect singularity
I'm no one without you, nobody but me
I'm no one without you, nobody but me
I'm no one without you, nobody but me
I'm no one without you, I'm nobody but me
I'm afraid to look, I'm afraid to see
It feels like something is surrounding me,
Looking deep into my soul.
I'm afraid to run, I'm afraid to cry,
It feels like God himself has stepped aside,
And left me here on my own.
My heart has stopped, I can feel my life fading away,
I hear satanic curses, whisper to my soul,
I hear the mystic verses, it's so tempting to just let go.
I'm too scared to hope, I'm too scared to ask,
Just what I'm guilty of that made you so mad,
I just don't know what it is I've done
Here I stand alone, shaking to my bones,
The dreams I used to have, now they're all gone,
is it because I dared to love.
My heart has stopped, I can feel my life fading away,
I hear satanic curses, whisper to my soul,
I hear the mystic verses, it's so tempting to just let go.
I hear satanic curses, whisper to my soul,
Show me the road to Calvary
I'll show you the cross where I died
I scream life is for ever if you follow me
Anything else is a lie
Ah heavenly
Show me the tomb where my body lay
The stone that rolled away
Walk in the garden of Gethsemane
Mary don't run Mary don't run
Heavenly father my time is now at hand
Heavenly father tell me will I rise
I am (the) Manic Messiah
I feel glorious
I am the Manic Messiah
My light will always shine on you
Here are the nails and my crown of thorns
That caused me so much pain
If I'm not the one who can save them all
Tell me did I die in vain
Heavenly father my time is now at hand
Heavenly father tell me will I rise
I am (the) Manic Messiah
I feel glorious
I am the Manic Messiah
My light will always shine on you
Ah heavenly
The wind that sweeps over the desert sands
The evil that blacks out the sun
The eyes of the blind fall on foreign lands
Just look behind you, in the shadows there's a man you
cannot see
Just look behind you and you'll see this man is me
Don't trust the starlight on a dark night
Don't believe in fantasy
Don't look for magic in this world of make believe
You're a child of the light, let the light be your
friend
You're a child of the light, soon your darkness will
Child of the light, child of the light, child of the
light
They say we're different, point the finger
But to me they are all the same
Don't try to hide it, just embrace it, then we'll win
We'll come together, getting stronger
They can't steal our hearts away
And remember if you need me I'll be there
You're a child of the light, let the light be your
friend
You're a child of the light, soon your darkness will
Child of the light, child of the light, child of the
light
Together we are stronger
Together we are standing tall
Child of the light
You're a child of the light, let the light be your
friend
You're a child of the light, soon your darkness will
Child of the light, child of the light, child of the
light
Let me guide you let me walk beside you
Last night the word came down, ten dead in Chinatown.
Innocent, their only crime was being in the wrong place, at the wrong time
Too bad, people say what's wrong with the kids today
Tell you right now they've got nothing to lose
They're building EMPIRE!
Johnny used to work after school
at the cinema show.
Gotta hustle if he wants an education
he's got a long way to go.
Now he's out on the street all day
selling Crack to the people who pay.
Got an AK-47 for his best friend
business the American way.
Eastside meets Westside downtown.
No time, the walls fall down
Can't you feel it coming? EMPIRE! Can't you hear it calling?
Black man, trapped again. hold his chain in his hand.
Brother killing brother for the profit of another,
Game point, nobody wins. Decline, right on time.
What happened to the dream sublime?
Tear it all down, we'll put it up again. Another EMPIRE?
Eastside meets Westside downtown.
No time, no line, the walls fall down.
Can't you feel it coming? EMPIRE!
Can't you hear it coming EMPIRE!
Can't someone here stop it...??!!
Don't be reckless don't be foolish
Don't go wasting all the things that you adore
Don't be hasty but don't be nervous
Don't be listening to the voices in the dark
Cause when you call who will listen
Who will catch you when you fall or hold you when you're
breaking down
Sail away we'll ride out on the ocean
Far out from the world that means to bring you down
Sail away we'll ride out on the ocean
Far out from the world that means you harm
Sail away, sail away
Don't be anxious, don't seek pity
Don't leave footprints on the sand for them to find
Don't be angry, don't be spiteful
Don't you fall asleep with trouble on your mind
Cause when you scream who will comfort
Who will hold your breaking heart or kiss you very
tenderly
Sail away we'll ride out on the ocean
Far out from the world that means to bring you down
Sail away we'll ride out on the ocean
Far out from the world that means you harm
They don't laugh ever
I see your lie
I know it's coming and I'm terrified
No more defences here to hide behind
Oh, just you and I
And through the smoke, I see you're burning like a ray of hope
I found the fire and now the ashes glow
Oh, come alive
And now that I'm awake
I'm not afraid, I'm letting go tonight
Cause we found strength
And enjoyed the songs
We built this life and we made it up
Empire, empire, empire
And you and I, they will enjoy these cards
We'll build on life and we'll make it up
Empire, empire, empire
Stone by stone, we build this hour we call our own
So high the world forget the world below
Oh, just you and I, high
So let the drums roll
The cannons blow, we're letting go tonight
Cause we found strength
And enjoyed the songs
We built this life and we made it up
Empire, empire, empire
And you and I, they will enjoy these cards
We'll build on life and we'll make it up
Empire, empire, empire
They'll never take it down, take it down
Burn it down, burn us down
Take it down, take down our empire
They'll never take it down, take it down
Burn it down, burn us down
Take it down, take down our empire
Cause we found strength
And enjoyed the songs
We built this life and we made it up
Empire, empire, empire
And you and I, they will enjoy these cards
We'll build on life and we'll make it up
Empire, empire, empire
They'll never take it down, take it down
Burn it down, burn us down
Take it down, take down our empire
Come storm, come fire, we stride in thunder.
Sea torn asunder now wears the crown
Lust, loneliness, unearthed rejection
Soul resurrection in forms unknown
New field swept off the stains of time
On a course to a destination
Earthbound yet undetainable,
defiant to ride with the tide
Soulflight to a realm beneath the soil
Soulflight!
Do you deserve a compensation?
Lost hope in a maelstrom
Still drifting with the tide
Faint recollection, beconing disaster
Obey the master who sings of doom
Asured demise but who`s going under
Possessed to plunder the virtue in truth
New field swept off the stains of time
On a course to a destination
Earthbound yet undetainable,
defiant to ride with the tide
Soulflight to a realm beneath the soil
Soulflight!
Do you deserve a compensation?
Lost hope in a maelstrom
Still drifting with the tide
Come storm, come fire, we stride in thunder
Sea torn asunder now wears the crown
New field swept off the stains of time
On a course to a destination
Earthbound yet undetainable,
defiant to ride with the tide
Soulflight to a realm beneath the soil
Soulflight!
Do you deserve a compensation?
Lost hope in a maelstrom
Still drifting with the tide
Aren't you tired, aren't you sleepy (never going nowhere)
Can't you see what's wrong with you (comes with someone)
I am summer, gonna crush us (never going nowhere)
Change our skin, leave us ashes
I just wanna know
How long you're going to keep me
Locked out of your empire
Dancing pretty spins my mind (never going nowhere)
Racing into steals my time (comes with someone)
In the action, breaking down (never going nowhere)
Moving lightly and never ending
R
Sing goodbye
In ... time
Will you ever remember
Awakening on a slumber
I won't ask.. you
To fly so high
And help me to lift the weight
I'm feeling deep inside
In this place that's so familiar
We'll stay our temple forever.
We'll see the light
Brighter that ever
Whether you choose to stay
Or if you choose to run way
Your live is ours
And there is no other way
And if one day
I choose to run away
We'll be together
When we remember that day.
I still feel the sun is trying
I remember deeply then
I will miss you .. when you leave me.
Remember now
This moment that we share
Will never make me forget
Why I choose to stay
It's an awakening.. Dawn of slumber
Awakening.. It's the dawn of slumber
It's an awakening.. Dawn of slumber
Awakening... Dawn of slumber
Choose to stay
Or if I choose to run away
Your live is ours
And there is no other way
Contemplate now
December in my dreams.
Where even all I feared
Will make me disappear
Remember now..
This feeling we once shared
And keep them in your head.
Even when we're far away from...
Awakening.. Dawn of slumber
Awakening.. Dawn of slumber
I won't say goodbye this time
I won't let you die inside my mind.
Don't tell me goodbye this time
I own nothing
I am no one
I yearn nothing
You own nothing
You are nothing
No trust
No shame
No loss
No life
To own
To spoil
Look into yourself
Your empire
Pray
Hate
Pray
The path that we've made...
We'll not be afraid to say what we know.
We will not let... go!
Don't hold your breath, find a way out.
Don't hold your breath just find your way out.
I'll watch your collapse.
You'll try to fight back but you're falling through the floor.
Gasp for air.
And they say we'll never make it out alive, but at least we'll try.
(I'll let you know, let you go. I don't know where I'm going.)
As long as you're not afraid to just run, run...
Save yourself.
You will never be the same.
So watch me, watch me... Grow.
You think you know the way?
But the way that I'm coming is the way that you're leaving.
Oh, you're pushing you're pressing now.
These words that you're saying,
they fall from your lips and I'm not even listening.
We've wasted so much time, pretending that you cared.
Please let me go... Where you belong.
They say we'll never make it out alive, but at least we'll try.
(I'll let you know, let you go. I don't know where I'm going)
As long as you're not afraid to just run, run...
Save yourself.
There's got to be a reason, your last words.
There's got to be a reason, they weren't heard.
You may not like to hear this but you're coming to an end.
You may not like to hear this but you're coming to an end.
You got your guards and they've got thier guns,
They're over worked and you've never ever wanted a
thing, in your life.
I've got my dreams and ive got my sleeves,
And i've been promised that buildings gonna keep this
visions of an empire at peace.
My heart, is my keep,
Then you are threatening me,
Cause my heart, is my keep,
And you are threatening me.
Oh my god, you're the one,
I've been holding out for so damn long,
For so damn long.
And you far cry from an empire at peace.
Got my knives on my heart on my sleeves.
But this weathers getting too nice for me,
To build an empire, in peace.
My heart, is my keep,
Then you are threatening me,
Cause my heart, is my keep,
And you are threatening me.
Oh my god, you're the one,
I've been holding out for so damn long,
For so damn long.
And you far cry from an empire.
You got your guards and they've got there guns,
They're over worked and you've never ever wanted a
thing, in your life.
My heart, is my keep,
Then you are threatening me,
Cause my heart, is my keep,
And you are threatening me.
Oh my god, you're the one,
I've been holding out for so damn long,
For so damn long.
Oh my god, you're the one,
I've been holding out for so damn long,
We are building the prison, Praying
We are feeding religion, Murder
The fate of every human is chained to the passion
We are building the prison, we are feeding religion of chaos
The fate of every human is chained to the passion of chaos
You are blinding the children, you are stealing their vision
Building on their virgin soul your conception of the reality
We'll always be alone, you're always be the ones
Praying under the flag of your nation
Breeding the threat
A duet with Benjamin Zephaniah
done on Bob the Bass' album "Clear"
I'm looking at your soul, your soul, your soul, your soul
I'm looking at your future, your future, future, future
As I look into your eyes, these eyes, these eyes, these eyes
I see another side, side, side, side
Vampire, you're feed on the life of a pure heart
Vampire you suck the life of goodness
Vampire, you're feed on the life of a pure heart
Vampire you suck the life of goodness
Turn the lights on
Let the lights shine bright
Turn the lights on
Let the lights shine bright
You've got to feel yourself and let go
You got to know you reap what you sown
You've got to feel something at sometime
Check the writings on the wall
And look into the sight
You're spending all your money on gare that never work
you're wasting all your energy and everywhere it hurts
God it really hurts
yes it really hurts
you got to know yourself
Vampire, you're feed on the life of a pure heart
Vampire, you suck the life of goodness
Yes
Vampire, you're feed on the life of a pure heart
Vampire you suck the life of goodness
From now on I'll call you England
From now on I'll call you England
From now on I'll call you England
From now on I'll call you England
See if you spit in the sky
It will fall in your eye
You see what goes up must come down
You will die looking up if you're not looking in
you've got to know yourself
I'm looking at your partners and they would never agree
I'm looking for your justice and it can not be seen
I'm checking where you're coming from and where you're going to
I'm checking all off what you have done to see what you can do
I'm looking at your lawbooks and they were never read
I'm looking at your lovesquire and they can not be thread
I'm looking at your empire living on the drears
You've got to know yourself
Vampire, you're feed on the life of a pure heart
Vampire, you suck the life of goodness
Yes
Vampire, you're feed on the life of a pure heart
Vampire you suck the life of goodness
From now on I'll call you England
Empire fall man, empire go
From now on I'll call you England
There's a lesson to be learned
Why is it that, you must know
From now on I'll call you England
and the rich that you eat is more like food that you fear
From now on I'll call you England
gotta see no love anyway you appear
From now on I'll call you England
you've got to know yourself
from now on I'll call you England
you've got to know yourself
And I was a middle son
Between two wayward ones
I was more deserving of my parent's love
I had an angel's smile
Hiding a vulture?s bite
I had no use for Your redeeming blood
Aren't I glory, glorious?
Glory, glorious
Aren't we glory, glorious?
Aren't we worthy, worthy of
Hearts at our feet?
?Cause I was a Pharisee
I never saw my need for grace
Then your love, it came to me
Stood next to mine
And I saw that I was poor
It showed me I was poor
Show us, we are
Show us, we are
Glory, glorious
We are glory, glorious
Not from what good we have done
But from being the least
Glory, glorious
We are glory, glorious
Not from what good we have done
But from being the least
Glory, glorious
Glory, glorious
Oh, I don't know
How I was made
My heaven tower sways
Atop their fleeting praise
God, I don't know
How I was made
Glory, glorious
Are we glory, glorious?
Are we worthy, worthy of
Hearts at our feet?
Glory, glorious
We are glory, glorious
Not from what we've done
But being the least
[Instrumental]
Without a doubt I'm hurting, I'm hurting deep inside
So deep the fire is dying, It's giving up its light
The dark is at its blackest, I cried all the tears that
I can cry
Till there's nothing left of you
Oh, it feels like I've been drowning in my years
It's only you that saved me from my fears
So pleased to see the morning light again
My world is dead and you killed it with the things you
did
My life is better without you in it you're a teenage
deadhead.
You've taken all the best things, and made them seem so
wrong
I didn't even notice, till all the love was gone
And now I feel so stupid, that I let you make me feel
that way
I see it clearly now
Oh, it feels like I've been drowning in my years
It's only you that saved me from my fears
So pleased to see the morning light again
My world is dead and you killed it with the things you
did
My life is better without you in it you're a teenage
deadhead.
Oh, I feel so lonely don't you know
I've given all I have to give
Oh, I feel that I've been wastin all my years
Oh yeah, Baby Baby Baby Please Yeah!
My world is dead and you killed it with the things you
did
My life is better without you in it you're a teenage
deadhead
I was down and feelin' lonely
I was screamin' out your name
I never did enjoy it
Full of pain and sacrifice
I had a long way behind me
You were never taking care
I was bleeding beside you
So much pain but you didn't see...
That I was dying, I couldn't stand the way you treated
me
And I was crying, tell me why you can't believe in me
How can I be strong?
How can I go on?
Here I am
I'm nobody's fool
Here I am I'm back in the race again
Don't you see
I have made it without you
Don't you see I'm finding my way again
You were never believin'
That it hurts the way that you talk
Never care that you're lying
Even lying to yourself see...
That I was dying, I couldn't stand the way you treated
me
And I was crying, tell me why you can't believe in me
How can I be strong?
How can I go on?
Here I am
I'm nobody's fool
Here I am I'm back in the race again
Don't you see
I have made it without you
Don't you see I'm finding my way again
Your words speak with power
Ripping down concrete walls
Chilling ache of darkened halls
Warm me with your velvet tears
I was lost in a world of anger
Love seemed to be out of bounds
You gave off a scent of danger
And a love not easily found
Here I am
I'm nobody's fool
Here I am I'm back in the race again
Don't you see
I have made it without you
Don't you see I'm finding my way again
Here I am
I'm nobody's fool
Here I am I'm back in the race again
Don't you see
I have made it without you
Don't you see I'm finding my way again
Here I am
I'm nobody's fool
Here I am I'm back in the race again
Don't you see
I have made it without you
Don't you see I'm finding my way again
Evil source ov
Mighty curse
Everyone was scared
Lost faith
Without a trace
But it's not forever
Our grandeur will arise again
Our enemies will kneel and pray
The Empire is on fire
Raising up
Never stop
Spreading every way
Our faith
Is leading us
We came back and we'll stay
Our majesty will grow
Our enemies must fall
The Empire is on fire
We're in the center
We are the base
Directing the whole world
Organizing the space
Widening our wisdom
Becoming higher
In every reason
Only to deceive the memory
Begin the words and bleed reality.
(Those without a name) Bow down before your Gods
(This is your empire) Close your eyes.
(Those without a say) Bow down before your Gods
(This is your empire) Pay the price.
Embraced without belief is anarchy
Unvoiced a distant grief that beckons me.
(Those without a name) Bow down before your Gods
(This is your empire) Close your eyes.
(Those without a say) Bow down before your Gods
(This is your empire) Pay the price.
(Those without a name) Bow down before your Gods
(This is your empire) Close your eyes.
(Those without a say) Bow down before your Gods
(This is your empire) Pay the price.

(This is your empire) Close your eyes.

Don't you see

I've seen the light, I got it sussed,
I understand, it's a thing called trust,
You don't treat me right, like I don't belong,
Here on earth, it all seems wrong.
I'm a carbon based life form, and I feel pain
I'm a carbon based life form, I'm not an alien.
There is no future, without some light,
And as you move away, it seems more right,
I've been in the dark, eclipsed by you,
And now I feel some heat, and I see some truth.
I'm a carbon based life form, and I feel pain
I'm a carbon based life form, I'm not an alien.
You talk down to me, as you float around.
You're a shootin star, from a different world.
You're in a solo system, moving away from me,
This space feels cold.
You talk down to me, as you float around.
You're a shootin star, from a different world.
You're in a solo system, moving away from me,
This space feels cold.
You talk down to me, as you float around.
You're a shootin star, from a different world.
You're in a solo system, moving away from me,
This space feels cold.
I'm a carbon based life form, and I feel pain
I'm a carbon based life form, I'm not an alien.
I'm a carbon based life form, and I feel pain
I'm a carbon based life form, I'm not an alien.
I came to this place, and could not believe you were hiding
I wonder if you listen to me, hear the words I'm sayin
Where have you been, so many questions left unanswered
Angel of sin, are you really in my mind.
I need to know now.
You, tell me the truth, tell me the secret of that illusion
Life, is it a dream, is it a fantasy?
You, tell me the truth, hiding the meaning of life forever
Hey, I'm talking to you, can you hear me now.
I'm losing my faith, day after day my world is slowly dying
If I can't ask how do I know you ain't lyin
Where have you been, so many questions left unanswered
Angel of sin, are you really in my mind.
I need to know now.
You, tell me the truth, tell me the secret of that illusion
Life, is it a dream, is it a fantasy?
You, tell me the truth, hiding the meaning of life forever
Hey, I'm talking to you, can you hear me now.
You, tell me the truth, tell me the secret of that illusion
Life, is it a dream, is it a fantasy?
You, tell me the truth, hiding the meaning of life forever
Hey, I'm talking to you, can you hear me now.
You, tell me the truth, tell me the secret of that illusion
Life, is it a dream, is it a fantasy?
You, tell me the truth, hiding the meaning of life forever
I've always heard there is a land
Beyond the mortal dreams of man
Where every tear will be left behind
But it must be in another time, oh, oh, oh
There'll be an everlasting light
Shining a purest holy white
And every fear will be erased
But it must be in another place, oh, oh, oh
So I'm waiting for another and another place
Where all my hopes and dreams
Will be captured with one look at Jesus' face
Oh, my heart's been burning, my soul keeps yearning
Sometimes I can hardly wait
For that sweet, sweet someday
When I'll be swept away
To another time and another place
I've grown tired of earthly things
They promise peace but furnish pain
All of life's sweetest joys combined
Can never match those in another time, oh, oh, oh
And though I put my trust in Christ
And felt His spirit move in my life
I know it's truly just a taste
I was born with nothin, you had everything
I got a cloud that follows me around you got
Everythin you need
You think this world is for free, ain't got time to make you see
I don't care what you got, it doesn't matter to me
You got a lot but one thing you ain't got is
Peace and harmony,
You think this world is for free, ain't got time to make you see, Oh no.
Big world little man life isn't yours to fool with, you'll lose it
Big man little world to much to lose, believe it, I mean it
Time ran out for you, only dust remains
Pickin up the pieces ain't gonna work
At the end of your arrogant games
You think that life is for free, ain't got time to make you see
Big world little man life isn't yours to fool with, you'll lose it
Big man little world too much to lose, believe it, I mean it, alright
Big world little man life isn't yours to fool with, you'll lose it
Big world little man life isn't yours you'll lose it
You think you got all the answers
And money buys you friends
You ain't got no time for reasons
It's a big world for a little man
Big world little man life isn't yours to fool with, you'll lose it
Big man little world too much to lose, believe it, I mean it, alright
Big world little man life isn't yours to fool with, you'll lose it
Big world little man life isn't yours you'll lose it
In a darkened room in the Highlands
So close to the waters edge
Wine mixed with the starlight
What was done and what was said
I could tell that we had a reason
I could feel the majesty in the air
We were there on a wild Tahigwan night
The spirit starts to move
I can't hear my voice it gets lost among the big noise
The fire burned so deep
And if I live a thousand years
They'll be treasures that I keep
Oh thanks for the memories
Seems to be good time pass to soon
In a lonely room in a strange land
Blowing smoke rings in the air
Crushed live like my passion
Lying on the empty streets
Sweet curse of confusion
Now I know my time is at hand
It's getting closer to daybreak
This time I'm moving on
The spirit lost it's way
But don't let us cast the blame
I can still recall your name
And if the timings ever right
We can build the bridge we burnt
Cause I'm sure that we have learned
Oh thanks for the memories
Seems to be good time pass to soon
Oh thanks for the memories
Do you believe in me
Enough to sacrifice?
Do you believe in me
Enough to end your life?
Do you believe in me
Enough to kill for me?
Do you believe in me
Enough to die for me?
Come on and join me
Grab my hand
Together, we will feast
On the blood of the weak
Empire, destroying dignity
Empire, destroying humanity
Empire, destroying dignity
Empire, destroying humanity
When you walk the path
You will discover a world undreamed of
Your suffering will be legendary
Do you believe?
Do you believe in suffering?
Do you believe in me
Enough to slay your brother?
Do you believe in me
Enough to betray your family?
Come on and join me
Grab my hand
Together, we will feast
On the blood of the weak
Empire, destroying dignity
Empire, destroying humanity
Empire, destroying dignity
Empire, destroying humanity
When you walk the path
Your feelings won't betray you
When you walk the path
Your agony will elate you
Empire, destroying dignity
Empire, destroying humanity
Empire, destroying dignity
Empire, destroying humanity, destroying humanity
Empire
Without a doubt I'm hurtin, I'm hurtin deep inside
So deep the fire is dyin, It's giving up its light
The dark is at its blackest, I cried all the tears that I can cry
Till there's nothing left of you
Oh, it feels like I've been drowning in my years
It's only you that saved me from my fears
So pleased to see the morning light again
My world is dead and you killed it with the things you did
My life is better without you in it you're a teenage deadhead.
You've taken all the best things, and made them seem so wrong
I didn't even notice, till all the love was gone
And now I feel so stupid, that I let you make me feel that way
I see it clearly now
Oh, it feels like I've been drowning in my years
It's only you that saved me from my fears
So pleased to see the morning light again
My world is dead and you killed it with the things you did
My life is better without you in it you're a teenage deadhead.
Oh, I feel so lonely don't you know
I've given all I have to give
Oh, I feel that I've been wastin all my years
Oh yeah, Baby Baby Baby Please Yeah!
My world is dead and you killed it with the things you did
Faceless, worshipping eyes full of doubt Crushing rock standards in the state of the church Show us how to suffer and lead us to death Contrition of condition in the empire
Tolerance isn't a cricital face Moral excess is the cross we bare Show us all your reasons behind all your lies Yours is not to question the empire
Look at this world ( Empire! Empire! ) Where we live ( Empire of war! ) How can we ever forgive? ( Empire of hate! Empire of lies! )
Millions of souls in famish decay Social empathy is rare these days Show us all the hungry despair in their eyes Show us the reflection of the empire
Look at this world ( Empire! Empire! ) Where we live ( Empire of gods! ) How can we ever forgive? ( Empire of church! empire of faith! )
Yours is not to question why Yours is but to do or die Yours is not to question why
Yours is not to question why Yours is but to do or die Yours is not to question why Yours is but to do or DIE... !!!
Look at this world ( Empire! Empire! ) Where we live ( Empire of world! ) How can we ever forgive? ( Empire of rape! Empire of jail! )
Look at this world ( Empire of war! Empire of states! ) Where we live ( Empire of lies! Empire of hate! ) How can we ever forgive? ( Empire of gods! Empire of church! ) ( Empire of lies! Empire of faith!... )
There's a place where the sun stays low,
And nights when the moon don't glow.
You take a ride into fear,
Have respect for the place you are,
Take stock of your fragile world,
The cliff you hang from is shear.
The friends that you leave behind
Don't have the power to find
What's left of you if you fall
Hold on then to your soul
Climb on, if you're willing to learn
I'll show you how to save your world.
I'm gonna take you on the Raven Ride
We use the shroud of darkness and the power of flight
Like the Shamen, we leave our body behind
We use our souls to fly, The Raven Ride.
Down there where your people fight,
They believe in the freedom rights,
But the more you give them the more they die.
They believe in almighty God
And some that the Devil will come,
But the more they pray for the more they cry.
Up here you can see the truth,
They live by the power of fools,
And believe in the words of a chosen few
Religion is the root of it all,
Believe in them and you lose it all,
And the only question left is why?
I'm gonna take you on the Raven Ride
We use the shroud of darkness and the power of flight
Like the Shamen, we leave our body behind
We use our souls to fly,
The Raven Ride
I'm gonna take you on the Raven Ride
We use the shroud of darkness and the power of flight
Like the Shamen, we leave our body behind
We use our souls to fly, The Raven Ride.
I'm gonna take you on the Raven Ride
We use the shroud of darkness and the power of flight
Like the Shamen, we leave our body behind
There is non more evil, than I,
I am supreme evil, they say,
Consider this life, a gift.
Death is nothing at all,
Just a farewell kiss.
But the sun doesn't rise, no more.
And I can't see paradise, no, oh.
Spiraling downward, from your garden of Eden,
Come kings and queens, that spit on their people,
An infinite bleeding, of human remorse,
I've no interest in them, or the worshiping hoars,
We were promised the world, with faith,
And salvation from our sins, if we prayed,
Oh, Sweet Jesus, what did we do?
We gave our souls to you, yeah, I'm beggin you please,
Oh God, we failed again.
But the sun doesn't rise, no more.
And I can't see paradise, No, oh.
We were promised the world, with faith,
Everything's goin up in smoke
I'm beginning to choke
I can't feel the sun shine on my face.
People fightin for this
People fightin for that
Just another curse on the human race.
And the sea is rising
And the world is warming.
And the stars are fading more each day.
It's a changin world, that we're livin in.
It's a changin world, that we're livin in.
We pray together and sing
It seems such a simple thing,
But times have changed and no one seems to hear,
Government politician speaks
Says the answers are on the streets
But days are dark and no one seems to care.
Now the sea is rising
And the world is warming.
And the stars are fading more each day.
It's a changin world, that we're livin in.
It's a changin world, that we're livin in.
It's a changin world, that we're livin in.
It's a changin world, that we're livin in.
It's a changin world, that we're livin in.
It's a changin world, that we're livin in.
It's a changin world, that we're livin in.
I woke up last night and thought that you were sleeping
I looked around and you, you're not there
The smell of your perfume is fading in the doorway
Now without a word, I'm sure that you're gone
So clear now what I must do
My heart has shown me the way back to you
I'm in love, though I thought it wouldn't last forever
I'm in love, glad to see, it ain't over baby
Fool in love, I don't care if it last forever
Fool in love, I don't care what they say
I watched the stars, tried to stop, thinkin' about you baby
Again I look around, but your, your nowhere to be found
I should have known, without your love, life just ain't worth livin'
How can I face this pain, without you by my side
So clear now what I must do
My heart is showing the way back to you
I'm in love, though I thought it wouldn't last forever
I'm in love, glad to see, it ain't over baby
Fool in love, I don't care if it last forever
Fool in love, I don't care what they say
I'm in love, though I thought it wouldn't last forever
I'm in love, glad to see, it ain't over baby
Fool in love, I don't care if it last forever
Fool in love, I don't care what they say
I'm in love, though I thought it wouldn't last forever
I'm in love, glad to see, it ain't over baby
Fool in love, I don't care if it last forever
(Chorus)
One day I’mma get my money right
I’mma buy foreign cars, I’mma see if they could fly yea
I’m a better of universe I
I’mma beam on these bitches like the Star Trek guy yea
This time I’m standin on the e ey ey ey edge
My dreams are hanging for a gray ey e yea
What goes up must come down
It’s such a lonely road
Deep and over, dreamin up ahead
(Verse)
New coupe, no roof, I keep a hundred proof
Clockin dollars ever since I move that product from the stoo
Oh Lord hustle hard, we ballin cross the bull
Instead of handcuffs on our wrists we rockin Audemars
Blue dream, my team on
That joke club my lean on
That high life my sing on
That spotlight we deep up
Let chick, right coupe
Homey I’m living proof
I out a dollar and dream on a 62
Money on my mind and my team on that grind
I done came up from ground up, my life on that line
Yea sports cars athletic, kill em and get a medic
Prada, Gucci, fetish moving money – telekinetic
High chick in my whip globe
Diamonds on that scratch cobe
Real life, we puff oh
Jesus piece, that Rolls gold
On the edge we livin, supercharged my engine
Ballin out we get it
Countin up these digits
(Chorus)
One day I’mma get my money right
I’mma buy foreign cars, I’mma see if they could fly yea
I’m a better of universe I
I’mma beam on these bitches like the Star Trek guy yea
This time I’m standin on the e ey ey ey edge
My dreams are hanging for a gray ey e yea
What goes up must come down
It’s such a lonely road
Deep and over, dreamin up ahead
(Verse)
Pull that tap in my pockets
True religion all in my closet
What yall talkin bout we got it
Poppin gold champagne bottles
I’m on the edge, my team on
A million racks I dream for
No spot like C4
A hundred stacks but I need more
I need Lambos, fresh clothes
Bad bitch, kush rolled
Benzel on my top back
Chain on and my snap back
Yall lie, these numbers roll
Hustle hard and I’m far from broke
Hold it down to my cash man
Yall lookin like last year
High life, nightlife
My chain on when the time’s right
Jewels on me like crushed ice
I’m sippin on Ciroc and Sprite
Know me, Kove
Movin time, we’ve something to see
Ace of Spade of Don P
I’m Prada Gucci, my army
Hustling til I’m 90 right
Haters mad, my shorty fly
Killin em, that’s homicide
Loud top but that volume high
White bands that cocaine
Red bottles that Rose
Swerving in, I’m profane
My chick high, she propane
(Chorus)
One day I’mma get my money right
I’mma buy foreign cars, I’mma see if they could fly yea
I’m a better of universe I
I’mma beam on these bitches like the Star Trek guy yea
This time I’m standin on the e ey ey ey edge
My dreams are hanging for a gray ey e yea
What goes up must come down
It’s such a lonely road
Deep and over, dreamin up ahead
When I think about the money, all the money I can have
Think about the money, all this money in my head
Think about the money, all these stacks up in my pants
Think about the money, all the money I can have
I’m dreamin, dreamin
I just wanna make me a mill
Yea, I’m dreamin, dreamin
Dream so hard I just can’t be still
I'm trying to find the words
Searching for the passion
I'm coming up short and time never stops passing
It's harassing me
I watch the seconds tick
They turn from minutes to days
I need to move quick but where do I look for
inspiration
Where do I find the hunger the frustration
Oh it's not far at all
There's the mirror
Look the fight is on again
New chapter new book
I'm trying to find trying to find the lines
Lines words you can only define as Timeless
I'm trying to find trying to find the lines
I hope what I find is Timeless
Once again the struggle is on
Once again the pressure will transform us
Our presence is strong but not invincible
It's crucial time to be visceral
Realness stands the test of time
It always will but we still have to progress
And no this is not about the scene
It's about relevance in the bigger scheme of things
I'm trying to find trying to find the lines
Lines words you can only define as Timeless
I'm trying to find trying to find the lines
I hope what I find is Timeless
Independent of Time - Eternal
Unaffected by Time - Ageless
In my search of relevance
I found that we should always be ourselves
And in my search for progress
I found that integrity is priceless
Timeless
Losing love, losing my faith
The only thing she left me were all of my mistakes
The hardest time, the darkest place
Through a crack in the window I see your face
Shining, golden
And on my love you lift me up
On my love you come along
You filled my heart, replaced my faith
With a blinding light from a perfect place
And with all the love, all the love
All the love, there's more than enough
To build an empire
Build an empire
Heal these eyes, they've seen too much
I'm burned down and broken, come and lift me up
Get me out of here, take me away
All that I have left is a heart that needs to be saved
Shining, golden
And on my love you lift me up
On my love you come along
You filled my heart, replaced my faith
With a blinding light from a perfect place
And with all the love, all the love
All the love, there's more than enough
To build an empire
Build an empire
Losing my heart, losing my faith
Losing myself, now I'm not afraid
Cause in your light I find myself again
And on my love you lift me up
On my love you come along
You filled my heart, replaced my faith
With a blinding light from a perfect place
And with all the love, all the love
All the love, there's more than enough
To build an empire
Too much information, well I said, you're good for nothing
Come on to the back, I said, your needless good for something
Guess I'd better sell you now, guess I'll bet I'll be around
Singing for your questions but you've stolen all of my answers
Too much entertainment drove my knights out of their corner
Tell me that you've seen a ghost, I'll tell you what to fear the most
Stop, I said, it's happening again
We're all wasting away
We're all wasting away
Too much information, well I said, you're good for nothing
Stitch your part of counterfeit, I sent you out for hunting
Taking at the roads where you're taken for the simple codes
Swimming with the fishes while the serpent waves his tongue
With a belly full of splinters, now you see that I'm the one
Tell me that you've seen a ghost, I'll tell you what to fear the most
Stop, I said, it's happening again
We're all wasting away
We're all wasting away
Stop, I said, it's happening again
We're all wasting away
We're all wasting away
Stop, I said, it's happening again
We're all wasting away
Avan?ant parmi les m?andres de tes chim?res
La ville t'?treint les ombres te serrent
A la lueur d'un empire
Tu effleures ton image
Crois tu avoir connu le pire?
Tu n'es plus l'homme sans ?ge
Seul tout semblait plus facile
Mais rien n'arr?te la machine qui s'?tire
Cours accroche la raison qui s'effile
Le chaos r?gne les r?ves sont des satyres
La paix n'est qu'une tr?ve
La paix n'est qu'un r?ve
De retour sur ton pi?destal
La machine tranquille et infernale
D'un geste habile
Saisit tes membres ton esprit
Seul tout semblait plus facile
Mais rien n'arr?te la machine qui s'?tire
Cours accroche la raison qui s'effile
Le chaos r?gne les r?ves sont des satyres
La paix n'est qu'une tr?ve

First of all, nigga fuck y'all y'all niggas ain't shit

But callin no limit tryin submit them fuckin demos
Fake ass niggas be hollin "keep it real"
I got family nigga, keep it real to them God damn bills
I give a fuck, bout hip-hop the culture of the call
This shit is watered down like a scene from jaws
I done been through all the phases,
Tampered with all the styles,
Niggas done soldier hated,
Mac retaliated
Tell them niggas in back with semi-autos
You dis me on wax, you might not see tomorrow
I'm like zorro, I mark d.f.m on they back
[and what's that] that mean don't fuck wit mac
They should've told you I was nothing nice
As a matter of fact they should've told you I was nothing nice twice
My rollie was dipped in ice, my g-ride was payed out
Crib was layed out before my record was out
Most of y'all go gold and never see a bank roll
A hundred g's in the hole cause you sold your soul
When your broke, your yellin at tru to hip-hop shit
I'm known damn well all you niggas tryin to get rich
East, west, middle, south nigga we all the same
We all speak the same shit but with different type of slang
So the next nigga talk about we country and weak

[mac talking]
The camouflage assassin
The no limit empire strikies back for all the haters
What?
We're no limit soldiers, I thought I told ya x7
Oh, the empires calling,
Trying to hear his voice,
While he's preaching to the choir,
And that choir is death and noise.
And he closes up his fist, and he sees if they exist.
Angels with broken wings,
Melodic harmonies she sings.
She brings you white daffodils,
You place them on your windowsill.
Then you open up your fist, and you see if they exist.
Well you sit in dark forests,
You've been there for quite a while.
And when they come to take you,
You just sit and smile.
Collapsing now
Empire of the scumbag
Reject all the lies you forcefed them
An hook up the nose to take down the brain
This shit went on just too long, far too long
You took the life off their lives switched off their
heads with all your lies
An empire built on million to assholes
Like salt on a deep down wound I despise you
Tore it down it won't get up again
An Empire built on fractured minds collapsing now
I am here to create the end
Wake up this mass of switched off brains
Inject their skull with supreme pain
It's like a sick mass brainwashing machine
Now you'll just taste how it feels to fail
Like salt on a deep down wound I despise you
Tore it down it won't get up again
An Empire built on fractured minds collapsing now
Tore it down it won't get up again
When I'm in your company it's just perfect, you got everything,
Love the way you look at me your eyes just say it, and that's a special thing,
You say things that torment me but it's worth it, tell me anything,
But say you want me, madly, deeply in love, or I'll have to run,
Run away because
I can't trust myself
to leave you alone I can't trust myself no no no,
I can't trust myself to leave you alone
I can't trust myself it's much too much
I wanna touch but it's just too much.
Your smile does things to me, I can't describe it, only wish I could,
Your lips would look good on me, wanna try it, babe I wish you would
I thought that looking wasn't sposed to hurt me, but I'll do anything
Just say you want me, need me, madly in lust, or you'll have to run,
Hide away because
I can't trust myself,
to leave you alone I can't trust myself no no no,
I can't trust myself to leave you alone
I can't trust myself it's much too much
I wanna touch but it's just too much.
>From the point of view, of a broken heart,
You're my defibrillator, you jump n I'll start,
You woke me up, when I was dead and gone.
All I have to do, is to make you see,
That if there is no you, then there is no me,
You're the reason why, i do the things I do.
When I'm in your company it's just perfect, you got everything,
Love the way you look at me your eyes just say it, and that's a special thing,
You say things that torment me but it's worth it, tell me anything,
But say you want me, madly, deeply in love, or I'll have to run,
Run away because
But say you want me, madly, deeply in love, or I'll have to run,
Run away because
I can't trust myself
to leave you alone I can't trust myself no no no,
I can't trust myself to leave you alone

I wanna touch but it's just too much.
I can't trust myself
to leave you alone I can't trust myself no no no,
I can't trust myself to leave you alone
I can't trust myself it's much too much
Skyscrapers, earth movers, ground breakers
Our buildings rival the heavens, our bridges span the seas
Ingenuity? is so cunning, innovation is not ours, creativity is a luxury
We build with our hands what we have in our hearts
Fight the avalanche, you'll be buried every time
We run and run and run, keep falling behind
Fight the avalanche, you'll be buried every time
We run and run and run, always last in line
Before lines were lines
Before time was time
The author wrote a story in the sky
And earth below
Little do we know we have only what we're given
Light up the sky, we're going where no man has ever gone
Little do we know we have only what we're given
Light up the sky, we're going where no man's forgotten
All You are is all we want, it burns inside us all
We're finding heart in giving soul
We're walking home into thin air singing
We are justice fighters with faces of fire
Many walk away,? but we stand firm
We are justice fighters with faces of fire
Our decisions affect our descendants
We are justice fighters with faces of fire
Skyscrapers, earth movers, ground breakers
Our footsteps, bringing purpose, changing history
Skyscrapers, earth movers, ground? breakers
At the end of your days when the time has come for you to die,
Al-Sirat waits for you,
The only way that you can get to the land of paradise,
it's the final test of truth
Only those with a truthful heart can walk the narrow path,
narrower than a spiders thread.
Wicked souls and evil ones they will fall to their death,
below them hell awaits the dead
Sharper than a blade of steel,
It's too late to make a deal,
Below the devil wants you,
Behind your life has left you
Al-Sirat before you,
The bridge to paradise.
As you merge with infinity and you look into the distance,
Al-Sirat appears to you.
Be aware of your first new step from this earthly existence,
to a place intended for the few.
Then the master calls, all the pure souls,
And the exodus begins.
In the time that seems like forever, a thousand more fall down to the reaper,
And you feel the heat beneath your wings.
Sharper than a blade of steel,
It's too late to make a deal,
Below the devil wants you,
Behind your life has left you
Al-Sirat before you,
The bridge to paradise.
He's waiting for your soul,
There's no where else to go,
You gotta walk across the bridge to paradise.
You gotta take the walk of faith,
You're going to a better place,
Answer That And Stay Fashionable
Don't Make Me Ill
Right now we're got a reason to live, but it's got nothing to do with you.
We've got a lot of places we're gonna go,
a lot of things that we're gonna do.
In your world we may be no
one, but what makes you think you're someone?
We have got just what we need and we don't need you.
No one.
I can tell where our future lies, and you can tell we've got nothing to hide.
The way things seem to me right now, everything will be just time.
We're gonna do it our way.
We don't need you to darken our day.
We've never given up before and this stand won't be our first time.
No one's gonna tell me, I'm gonna do it my way.
Thinkin back to the times I had when I felt lonely
never felt complete and had the feeling of falling.
Always seemed to recognise other people who felt lonely
I knew them all but you know they didn't know me
Though they never spoke to me or gave me a sign
I could look in their eyes and see that they were the same.
As I walk the street sometimes the feelin returns to me
Oh No, I don't want to go there no more.
Cuz I got you now and all my darkness has lifted
And when I think about it, it seems like a curse,
When I look at you I can't believe this gift
Now I keep on waitin for the bubble to burst!
What would I do, what would I do, what would I do.
If you ever gave this gift to someone.
What would I do, what would I do, what would I do.
If you ever gave this gift to someone new.
I feel you with me when I wake in the morning,
I feel you're nearer than the thoughts in my head.
I feel you closer than the body I live in.
When I can't feel anythin at all, It feels like I'm dead.
And that takes me back to the times when I felt lonely
Being incomplete and that feeling of falling,
Then all those people seem to know just how I'm feelin
Though I never look in their eyes or give them a sign.
So I sometimes find myself tryin not to think about it,
These days are the best days though it feels like a curse.
When I look at you I can't believe this gift
And I keep on waitin for the bubble to burst!
What would I do, what would I do, what would I do.
If you ever gave this gift to someone.
What would I do, what would I do, what would I do.
If you ever gave this gift to someone new.
Tell me, what would would I do
What would I do
What would I do, what would I do, what would I do.

Back in the light, Black is the night music that kills, can't stand the screaming

They said the time is right, for us to start our mission
We're set to kill and fight, one law, one decision.
They created reasons.
Pentagram the devils sign,
In the circle of destruction,
Evil lords are trading souls.
Pay back time, time to pay back mine
We are losing time, killing time we wasted
Lonely souls, Pay back time, time to pay back mine
We are losing time, killing time we wasted
Lonely souls
They put death in hand, they know why we're here
Don't think just believe, we can't win with fear
They created evil.
Pentagram the devils sign,
In the circle of destruction,
Evil lords are trading souls.
Pay back time, time to pay back mine
We are losing time, killing time we wasted
Lonely souls, Pay back time, time to pay back mine
We are losing time, killing time we wasted
Lonely souls
Soldier, is it real? can you feel? I'm by your side, you can not die.

I got the power, I got all the things I need
A big sensation, makes you fall on your knees
I guess I'm a wild, wild one
And you're not the only, only one, but I need you now...
Passion... leads you
Loving... feeds you
Elation... moves you
All that I'm looking for, is so hard to say
You're all that I'm looking for, show me the way
No reason to hide, before the night is through
I wanna be with you, put all my love into you
I've waited so long, dreaming of you every night
Too many phone calls, gonna catch the next flight
I guess I'm a wild, wild one
And you're not the only, only one, but I need you now...
Passion... leads you
Loving... feeds you
Elation... moves you
All that I'm looking for, is so hard to say
You're all that I'm looking for, show me the way
You're all that I'm looking for, You're so far away
You're all that I'm looking for, there's no more to say
You're all that I'm looking for, I need you to stay
You're all that I'm looking for, show me the way
You're all that I'm looking for, You're so far away
And here we are again, buried in my sheets
Your fingers are whispers saying the softest things to every inch of my skin
And even asleep these eyes of yours seem to keep me on my toes
They just swallow me whole and this gift you left for me
Is one to put me to sleep in such a way that I would never want to wake again
Cause we're so good at what we do
With our arms crossed and our fingers locked we work like perfect puzzle pieces
Cut right and formed to fit
But it's so different when I know you've gone
So take me quietly and I'll leave this body behind me
Oh these rhythms of mine are so inconsistent anyway
Just one gasp and I'll be gone
I don't ever want to wake again
So leave the lights off tonight
And I'll use this air as rope to drag myself up through my throat
Cause I get so caught
I get so choked up anyway with any thought of you
I asked the world a question
When did you begin?
I asked him of his problems
When did you go wrong?
My singing cells have power
An army by my side
You so want my mind
You trick my time
And I run around and you're on your own
Without with without you say at home at home
How hard do you make it go?
No mothers and fathers to make us anymore
No arms or eyes to shape us
Like life itself
Then a thousand red coats scorn me
You so want my mind
You trick my time
And I run around and you're on your own
Without with without you say at home at home
How hard do you make it go?
You so want my mind
You trick my time
And I run around and you're on your own
Without with without you say at home at home
How hard do you make it go?
It's just a memory
Billions and billions of lights and hearts
Befalling to embers through to coal
Save from dust to dust
To wind to desert to death
I asked the world a question
When did you begin?
I asked him of his problems
When did you go wrong?
Countless times I see the figure in my head The only hope that this cannot be the end
Have I forsaken you Or have I forsaken myself What have we got to lose
Someone once told me if you really believe in something Then you have to see it through to the very end
I am left to pick up the pieces of everything we had and now There's one piece missing so I am complete My world has been torn apart pulling me down to my knees I am gripping on pulling myself back rebuilding the foundations of my life
You will never understand this situation Until you are on your knees Praying for a miracle That will not just fall from the sky
My final affliction
A mask
A cut above
An image of a raging fire
Burning in my mind (you can't take from me)
And once you believe the tales they told
Once you believe in what they sold
Will it bring you to your knees
Will it change you
The memory will fade
That certainty it gave to me
Factions
Reactions
To me there's one solution
Its time to rearrange our ways
For you all to create my destruction
We are one
A task
A sky above
The remnants of a lost empire
An effigy a sign (you can't take from me)
And once you believe the tales they told
Once you believe in what they sold
Will it bring you to your knees
Will it change you
The memory will fade
That certainty it gave to me
Factions
Reactions
To me there's one solution
Its time to rearrange our ways
For you all to create my destruction
We are one
The memory will fade
The memory will fade

We are one (you can't take from me)
The memory will fade
The memory will fade
Here I am with my empire, I'll bring you to your knees
ebb and flow with my desire, cause its all that you've been taught to be
yeah I'm the bastard son of what's been overcome, and again we plant the seed
so place your fork to mouth, eat, consume, be proud of what I let you see
cause we've made quite sure you can never leave
I speak you throw parades ignore the sense of rage welling up inside
Pay no mind to what we do cause we'll sell it all to you in modern luxuries
And we've made quite sure you believe you're free
From the cradle to the grave we try not to be saved from what we own
For next to nothing spent turn your dollars into cents
Fighting for the right to die alone
(just believe⦠believe you're free) â cause you're on your own
it doesn't matter just be sure that this is our empire this is war
forgotten heroes chessboard roles to make you think you're something more

Who's afraid of the sun?
Who'd question the goodness of the mighty?
We who banish the threat
When your little ones all go nighty-nighty
Well, there's no time for doubt right now
And less time to explain
So get back on your horses
Kiss my ring, join our next campaign
And the Empire grows with the news that we're winning
With more fear to conquer
And more gold thread for spinning
Bright as the sun, shining on everyone
Some would say that we forced our words
And we find that ingenuously churlish
Words are just words
Don't be so pessimistic, weak and girlish
We like strong and happy people
Who don't think there's something wrong with pride
Work makes them free
And we spread that freedom far and wide
And the Empire grows, the seeds of its glory
For every five tanks, plant a sentimental story
Till they worship the sun
Even Christ loving ones
And we'll kill the terror who rises
And a million of their races
But when our people torture you
That's a few random cases
Don't question the sun, it doesn't help anyone
But the journalist cried out
"When it was too late to stop us
Everyone had awakened to the dream
They could enter our Colossus"
And now I'm right, here you said I'm right
There's nothing that can harm me
'Cause the sun never sets
On my dungeons or my army
And the Empire fell
On its own splintered axis
And the Emperor wanes
As the silver moon waxes
And the farmers will find our coins
In their strawberry fields
While somebody somewhere
Twists his ring as someone kneels
Oh where is the sun shining for everyone?
Take a look around me, tell me what you see
broken hearted people, staring back at me
falling, they are falling, till the walls come tumblin' down
Watch their million memories, watch their broken dreams
crushed and feeling angry, life ain't what it seems
waiting, it's like waiting 'till their walls come tumblin' down
I've been to many places, there's nothing really new
surrender in their faces, gonna reach the simple truth
dreaming, I'm dreaming, but my walls come crumblin' down
I find myself in sadness, too many tears I've cried
the times is right for changes, I leave it all behind
Screamin', I'm screamin' 'till my walls come crumblin' down
Never look around me, or care about what you see
broken hearted people, always walking underneath
headed for tomorrow, reaching for the sky
grab our stuff together, we will never ask you why...
I'll put a light on me, I'll put a light on you
I'll put a light on the stage, gonna spread my wings and fly
I'll put a light on me, I'll put a light on you
I'll put a light on the stage, gonna spread my wings and fly
Living our future, the best is yet to come
Never stop for red lights, fights have made us strong
Sure we learned our lessons, we promise not to cry
We're ready for tomorrow, we'll leave the past behind
I'll put a light on me, I'll put a light on you
I'll put a light on the stage, gonna spread my wings and fly
I'll put a light on me, I'll put a light on you
I'll put a light on the stage, gonna spread my wings and fly
I'll put a light on me, I'll put a light on you
I'll put a light on the stage, gonna spread my wings and fly
I'll put a light on me, I'll put a light on you
I'll put a light on the stage, gonna spread my wings and fly
I'll put a light on me, I'll put a light on you
I'll put a light on the stage, gonna spread my wings and fly
I'll put a light on me, I'll put a light on you
Are we the sons of god
Are we his chosen people
Kings of the universe
A challenge to face us all nations will rise or fall
Knowing the time is at hand
Behind the mask lies the tears of frustration
Tears at the heart of every nation
Tell me the story of how we'll save the world
Tell me the story of how we'll save us all
Tell me the story of how to save the world
Are we the sons of god
Are we his chosen people
Living in desperate times
How can we make a choice we don't even hear the voices
A world crippled on her knees
Behind the lies and the tales of confusion
The good things we have
We take and abuse them
Tell me the story of how we'll save the world
Tell me the story of how we'll save us all
Tell me the story of how to save the world
The rivers have dried up the oceans are filling up
Tell me the story of how we'll save the world
Tell me the story of how we'll save us all
Tell me the story of how to save the world
Empire sits on the edge of a hill
Born out of a gypsum mine
Held at once 300 souls
And none of them were mine
Now they’re just ghosts in the streets
Wandering a land that sleeps
Once it was a lively place
Now just tumbleweeds
The houses they are silent
Quiet as thieves
Now they’re just ghosts in the streets
Wandering a land that sleeps
The miners callused hands
The women who planted seed on the land
Empire met its end
Once you’re gone you can’t go back
the locks they have all froze
The lid upon the coffin
Now it has been closed
Now they’re just ghosts in the streets
Wandering a land that sleeps
The men who built the Empire
Up from the ground
missed the cracks in the foundation
One blow and it all falls down
The miners callused hands
The women who planted seed on the land
I Stood Alone And Watched Below
As They Burned Their Cities Down
The Fire And The Rage I See
A Prophet Never Found
A Thousand Years- Still Nothing Learned
The Prophets Speak Their Words
Now Nothin Left
But Ashes On The Ground
What Will You Rule In The End
A Burnin Empire
Do You Believe When Blood Is Lost
That It Justifies The Means?
A Child Only Sees The Gun
As The Trigger Of Disease
A Thousand Years Still Nothin Learned
The Prophets Speak Their Words
Now Nothing Left
But Ashes On The Ground
What Will You Rule In The End
Break through
The firewall
"search & destroy-
My little boy"
No return-
Never
"stay in my empire
Forever!"
Empire forever
Empire forever
Kill!, kill!, kill!, kill!, kill!
Where anger rules
And time stands still
Burn down
Burn in hell
Burn down
Burn in hell
It's not that easy
To believe that there's a fire
It's burning inside me
Like a never ending force
I open myself to you
And I know it makes me weak
But it's my desire
(It's) my passion and my dream
You're one step away
Hear what I say
You can't steel my soul
It's open and it's true
Sure
I will always be there
Just take my heart and take my hand
Sure
I will always be there
It ain't hard to understand
Sure
I will always be there
Straight to your heart and you should know
Hope
That you're waitin' for me
And I'll never let you go
I think it's clever
To defy that wicked game
You better be careful
It's a hard and painful strain
Keep on resisting
It's like laughing through your tears
I know you will make it
So the fire will remain
You're one step away
Hear what I say
You can't steel my soul
It's open and it's true
Sure
I will always be there
Just take my heart and take my hand
Sure
I will always be there
It ain't hard to understand
Sure
I will always be there
Straight to your heart and you should know
Hope
That you're waitin' for me
And I'll never let you go
Sure
I will always be there
Just take my heart and take my hand
Sure
I will always be there
It ain't hard to understand
Sure
I will always be there
Straight to your heart and you should know
Hope
That you're waitin' for me
You keep on telling me your lies
There is no truth behind your eyes
You pray for silence when I scream
I'm always walking by your side
Just like a shadow in the night
Begging for mercy when I'm near.
I will place fear inside you
I'm walking right behind you
My breath is getting closer
Your life I'm taking over.
Don't you know wherever you go I'm here, right here
Don't you know wherever you go I'm here right here
You'll pray for darkness in your dreams
Where you can hide your fears and screams
If only death was on your side
I will place fear inside you
I'm walking right behind you
I'll set your world on fire
and take away desire
Don't you know wherever you go I'm here, right here
Don't you know wherever you go I'm here right here
Don't you know wherever you go I'm here, right here
Don't you know wherever you go I'm here right here
Don't you know wherever you go I'm here, right here
Don't try to teach me, how to act,
I don't need a teacher, and that's a fact,
I take comfort from simple things,
I get nervous with a stranger in my dreams.
It ain't a lot to ask, I don't live too fast, I need a life to call my own
Let it slide, come along for the ride,
You can help to satisfy my troubled mind
But if you try to hold me or tie me down
WelI I just don't need it, I'll survive alone.
It ain't a lot to ask, I don't live too fast, I need a life to call my own
I love your company, I want you near to me, cuz you reach inside my soul.
So I, I'm coming home, I'm comin home, I'm comin home
Cuz I'm tired of bein on the road
I get inspiration, from penetration,
But I can live without it, It ain't everything.
We can take some moonlight, and a little wine,
We could just talk for a while, I ain't an unreasonable man
It ain't a lot to ask, I don't live too fast, I need a life to call my own
I love your company, I want you near to me, cuz you reach inside my soul.
So I, I'm coming home, I'm comin home, I'm comin home
Don't wanna live on my own
I'm coming home, alright
I'm comin home, yeah
I'm comin home, cuz i'm tired of bein alone
I'm comin home, and I feel good about it
I am made of steel you are broken glass
I can make you feel the echo from the past
Moonlight a serenade daylight the masquerade
Time waits in the wings speaks of love and secret
things
The spirit is willing the body is weak cry for the
chosen
The passing of time is no friend of mine as we pass
down the road
Mother father holy ghost who's the one that we trust
the most
When the end comes to call who will be there
Mother father holy ghost who's the one that we trust
the most
The cry of the raven fills the air
Sail on silver seas sundown's refuges
With god beside us who can fail holy love, holy hell
Thunder and lightning strikes the wheel turns through
the night
Silence as one appears the mirror won't hide the years
The scream of the siren that shatters
The sky and in our hearts
Words that can chill us and freeze to the bone
As we search for a home
Mother father holy ghost who's the one that we trust
the most
When the end comes to call who will be there
Mother father holy ghost who's the one that we trust
the most
The cry of the raven fills the air
Don't you listen to faded godheads
Is there any sense of pain or evil?
Is there any reason to have fear?
Turn your lights off, waiting for the devil
You can't fall asleep while he is near
I will never stand up when he's calling
I will never pray when he's gone
Give me shelter, shelter from the storm
I need shelter, I lost and feeling torn
See him walk through walls like a nightmare
He will never ask you what you think
Never close your eyes, he's always right there
Watch you back feel your stomach sink
I will never stand up when he's calling
I will never pray when he's gone
Trusting in the way the rain is falling
Wipe away the clouds to see the sun
Give me shelter, shelter from the storm
I need shelter, I lost and feeling torn
(lost and feeling torn)
Give me shelter, shelter from the storm
I'm cold and tired of waiting for the dawn
Give me shelter, shelter from the storm
I need shelter, I lost and feeling torn
(lost and feeling torn)
Give me shelter, shelter from the storm
I'm cold and tired of waiting for the dawn
(of waiting for the dawn)
Give me shelter, shelter from the storm
I need shelter, I lost and feeling torn
Lights in the distance we're travelling over the land and
the sea
There's no resistance to the power corruption and greed
Speak with me holy man look me in the eye
Bleed with me holy man today is a good day to die
Kneel at the alter pray to your god
Lambs to the slaughter
Mercy from above
Kneel at the alter
Cast of your sins
Beg for forgiveness now it begins
The cry of the fallen is echoing over the land
One faded godhead intent in destroying mankind
Who then will save us who will pass the test
As evil surrounds us
How long will the suffering last
Kneel at the alter pray to your god
Lambs to the slaughter
Mercy from above
Kneel at the alter
Cast of your sins
You gave me the reason
I hide the truth behind a lie
Every now and then cheatin'
Another day is passing by
You say I'm devoted to treason
Evil from my head to my toes
Oh I'm finally beaten
Who's the one to pay the most
Only the strong survive
How can I survive...tonight
Am I the only one, I guess I'm a bad, bad boy
Is it's the final run, I guess I'm a sad, sad boy
Can it be overcome, I guess I'm a bad, bad boy
Waited for way to long, I guess I'm a bad, bad boy
Oh a change of the season
Gone with the wind and blown away
No more mistreatin'
The ones beggin' you to stay
Now I'm believin'
I'm happier right here than there
Finally achievin'
The love that we long to share
Only the strong survive
How can I survive...the night
Am I the only one, I guess I'm a bad, bad boy
Is it's the final run, I guess I'm a sad, sad boy
Can it be overcome, I guess I'm a bad, bad boy
Waited for way to long, I guess I'm a bad, bad boy
Am I the only one, I guess I'm a bad, bad boy
Is it's the final run, I guess I'm a sad, sad boy
Can it be overcome, I guess I'm a bad, bad boy
Waited for way to long, I guess I'm a bad, bad boy
Am I the only one, I guess I'm a bad, bad boy
This is the air I breath, this is the air I breath
Your holy presence living in me
This is my daily bread, this is my daily bread
You were very worried spoken to me
And I, I´m desperate for you
And I, I´m lost without you
This is the air I breath, this is the air I breath
Your holy presence living in me
This is my daily bread, this is my daily bread
You were very worried spoken to me
(Refrão):
And I, I´m desperate for you (I´m desperate for you)
And I, I´m lost without you (I´m lost without you)
(Refrão)
I´m lost without you
This is the air I breath, this is the air I breath
Your holy presence living in me
(Refrão) 2x
I´m lost without you (3x)
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life,
nor angels nor principalities nor things present,
nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth,
nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us
I made my deal with the devil and he dealt my cards
Thought I'd learned my lesson but I pushed to hard
I made my deal with the devil just to buy you one more
He laughed at me and then he walked away
Walked away nothing left to say
Well I know my soul is burning, burning kinda not
Tears that fill my eyes they fall like rain
And I looking for an answer but it's very hard to find
I am the angel and the gambler but I couldn't save ya
Been sleeping through the long night been wondering where
you gone
My emptiness is more that I can bear
I would give my soul to have you here for one more day
Seems to be the world ain't made that way
I'd have given everything to hold you in my arms
Or just to hear you footsteps on the stairs
I made my deal with the devil and he dealt my cards
Thought I'd learned my lesson but I pushed to hard
I made my deal with the devil just to buy you one more
He laughed at me and then he walked away
So many places on my way, whatever the price i had to pay
Broken illusions where i stay.
I cried every name but no one hears
I've seen the sunrise through my tears.
I've been waitin so long, for my chances to come,
Endless lonely nights on my own
Then she came into my life
Stars in her eyes, she's one in a million, one in a million,
Stars in her eyes, she's one in a million to me.
How could i know you needed me, i was a fool, too blind to see.
I've been waitin so long, for my chances to come,
Endless lonely nights on my own
Then she came into my life
Stars in her eyes, she's one in a million, one in a million,
Stars in her eyes, she's one in a million to me.
Stars in her eyes, there's no one else, she's one in a million,
Stars in her eyes, she's one in a million to me.
She's got stars in her eyes, she's one in a million, one in a million,
Stars in her eyes, she's one in a million to me.
Stars in her eyes, i was a fool, i was a fool,
Stars in her eyes, she's one in a million to me.
Newsflash:
„...this is 2007, brothers and sisters...
the empire is on its way to rise...
and there is no place to hide...
so listen...”
The empire's the new world order!
Don't you know it?
The empire's the new world order!
We know it!
Tell the truth and rot in your prison cell!
True words die away forever in this concrete hell!
Deaf, dumb, blind, we're watching from our „iron cage”...
the coming global „fate”!
I say, just like insects in a sticky web,
we struggle in their business net!
This time, don't be waiting for the spider, no!
By the capital we will be smashed!
The empire's the new world order!
Don't believe they'll take you to a promised land!
Don't reach for their cold and „immoral hand”!
Don't walk down another neoliberal way!
'Cause there may come the day...
there may come the day, when we will rise,
and we will feel the common thread!
When the „human capital” turns into a multitude,
to tell the system: „This is what you get!!”
Side by side...
in a line...
we'll walk on our way!!
We need the multitude!
I remember, how I shared my dreams with you
I remember, that I gave my dreams to you,
Still remember, getting lost inside of you
Still remember, revealing something new
I know you stopped believin and I need to know.
Did you ever love me, did you ever need me, like the way I needed you
Did you ever love me, did you ever hear me, didn't you know that I needed you
Did you ever feel me, did you ever see me, I gave it all, all to you
I gave it all to you
When you're smilin, I begin to feel the pain
I know you're lyin, but my love for you smothers the shame
Still believin, I'm feelin somethin new.
I know you stopped believin and I need to know.
Did you ever love me, did you ever need me, like the way I needed you
Did you ever love me, did you ever hear me, didn't you know that I needed you
Please, feel me, see me, You know I gave it all, all to you
I gave it all to you
Did you ever love me, did you ever need me, like the way I needed you
Did you ever love me, did you ever hear me, didn't you know that I needed you
Please, love me, did you ever need me, like the way I needed you
Standstill at your tomb
As silence eat your lungs
New life grows into me
Condemning what your love never did
Confessions of dim sounds
Will come surrounding
You and your blank lights
Through black dead dawns
Rivers of true passion will flow in our eyes (now)
Lines of scarlet blood won't control (my) intentions
On this day
But there's no light aligned
To show the heaven
There's no turning back
Burnt lips yell at what you only need
God's last death
And rise again
To embrace the life that flows
(There's no way for you)
Time collapsed in your arms
Before you took this tight will ‒ hanged
On my neck
Reason flows
In your fearless wounds
Ten years passed by
As we spelled words of disbelief
(Gone)
Wait here they'll come
Seeking all the pride you've left
Time erased what I can't forget
Demon's love faded
Through your veins
Stars are God's trophy
Open door in your tired heart
For Earth and Wind, for Water and Fire.
Try to touch the strength of them
And you'll become the part of Empire.
Live in the harmony
With all around you,
Let your soul
Make it's flight
And create
Your own way
Into Empire.
How to stay in our time
On way you chose? It's difficult question.
Cause there is a lot of those
