THE REQUIEM

Ohh ohh ohh ohh...God save us everyoneWill be burnInside the fires of a thousand sunsFor the sins of handSins of our tongueSins of our fatherSins of our young

God save us everyoneWill be burnInside the fires of a thousand sunsFor the sins of handSins of our tongueSins of our fatherSins of our young

BURNING IN THE SKIES

I use the deadwood to make the fire riseThe blood of innocence burning in the skiesI filled my cup with the rising of the seaAnd poured it out in an ocean of debris

I'm swimming in the smokeOf bridges I have burnedSo don't apologizeI'm losing what I don't deserveWhat I don't deserve

I held my breath as clouds began to formBut you were lost in the beating of the stormBut in the end we were meant to be apartIn separate chambers of the human heart

I'm swimming in the smokeOf bridges I have burnedSo don't apologizeI'm losing what I don't deserve

It's in the black and bonesOf bridges I have burnedSo don't apologizeI'm losing what I don't deserveWhat I don't deserve

I'm swimming in the smokeOf bridges I have burnedSo don't apologizeI'm losing what I don't deserve

The pain is mine aloneFor bridges I have burnedSo don't apologizeI'm losing what I don't deserve

What I don't deserve...What I don't deserve...What I don't deserve...

Here's the dead wood to make the fire lastThe blood of innocence burning in the skies

WHEN THEY COME FOR ME

Yeah,I am not a pattern to be followedThe pill that Im onIs a tough one to swallow?Im not a criminalNot a robanoNot a born leaderIm a tough act to follow

i am not a fortunate of famein the same verse Im telling you to forfeit the gamei came in the ring like a dog on a chainAnd i found out the underbelly is sicker than it seemsAnd its seems ugly, but it can get worse,Cos' even the blueprint is a gift and a curseCos' once you have the theory of how the thing worksEverybody wants the next thing to be just like the first

Im not a robotIm not a monkeyi will not dance even if the beat's funkyOpposite of lazy, far from a park yardStop talking, everyones gonna have to catch up mother f-cker

And all the people sayAaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaah

Trying to catch up mother f-cker

Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaahMum said money changes situationsBig said it increases the complicationKane said don't stab, i ain't the oneChuck said that doozie weigh a mother f-cking tonneAnd Im just a student of the game that they taughtRocking every stage and every place that they brought meIm often underratedAnd also corrected

And so this second Im gonna save it for the recordI am the opposite of wackyOpposite of weakOpposite of slackStanding in the heatStanding in a crack

Closest to a beat, far from a front yardStop talking, everyones gonna have to catch up mother f-ckerAnd all the people sayAaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaah Trying to catch up mother f-cker

Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaah

Oh when they come for meCome for meIll be gone

Oh when they come for meCome for meIll be gone

Oh when they come for meCome for meIll be gone

And all the people sayAaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaah Trying to catch up mother f-cker

Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaah

And all the people sayAaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaah

Trying to catch up mother f-cker

Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaah

Hey hey hey hey

ROBOT BOY

You say you're not going to fightBecause no one will fight for youAnd you think there's not enough loveAnd no one to give it toAnd you're sure you've hurt for so longYou've got nothing left to loseSo you say you're not going to fightBecause no one will fight for you

You say the weight of the worldHas kept you from letting goAnd you think compassion's a flawAnd you'll never let it showAnd you're sure you've hurt in a wayThat no one will ever knowBut someday the weight of the worldWill give you strength to go

Hold on, the weight of the worldWill give you the strength to goSo hold on, the weight of the worldWill give you the strength to goSo hold on, the weight of the worldWill give you the strength to goJust hold, on the weight of the worldWill give you the strength to go

WAITING FOR THE END

Yeah... Yeah...

This is not the endThis is not the beginningJust a voice like a riotRocking every revisionBut you listen to the toneAnd the violent rhythmThough the words sound steadySomething emptys within emWe say yeahWith fists flying up in the airLike we're holding onto something thats invisible thereCuz we're living at the mercyOf the pain of the fearUntil we dead itForget itLet it all disappear

Waiting for the end to comeWishing I had strength to standThis is not what I had plannedIt's out of my control

Flying at the speed of lightThoughts were spinning in my headSo many things were left unsaidIt's hard to let you go

I know what it takes to move onI know how it feels to lie

All I wanna doIs trade this life for something newHolding on to what I haven't got

Sitting in an empty roomTrying to forget the pastThis was never meant to lastI wishing it wasn't so...

I know what it takes to move onI know how it feels to lie

All I wanna doIs trade this life for something new?Holding on to what I haven't got (yeah, yeah)

What was left?When that fire was goneI thought it felt rightBut that right was wrongAll caught up in the eye of the stormAnd trying to figure outWhat it's like moving onAnd I don't even knowWhat kind of thing I saidMy mouth kept movingAnd my mind went deadPicking up the piecesNow where to beginThe hardest part of the endingIs starding again

All I wanna doIs trade this life for something new?Holding on to what I haven't gotThis is not the endThis is not the beginningJust a voice like a riotRocking every revisionBut you listen to the tone(Holding on to what I haven't got)And the violent rhythmThough the words sound steadySomething emptys whithin emWe say yeahWith fists flying up in the airLike we're holding onto something thats invisible thereCuz we're living at the mercy(Holding on to what I haven't got)Of the pain of the fearUntil we dead itForget it

BLACKOUT

I'm stuck in this bed you madeAlone with a sinking feelingI saw through the words you saidTo the secrets you've been keepingIt's written upon your faceAll the lies how they cut so deeplyYou can't get enough you takeAnd take and take and never say

No / you've gotta get it insideYou push it back down / you push it back down No /Youll never get it inside Push it back down Blackout Blood in your eye

You say that it's not your faultAnd swear that I am mistakenYou said it's not what it seemsNo remorse for the trust you're breaking you run butThen back you fall Suffocate in the mess you're makingYou can't get enough you take and take and take andTake and take Fuck it Are you listening?

No / you've gotta get it insideYou push it back down / you push it back down No /Youll never get it inside Push it back down / youPush it back down No / you've gotta get it insideYou push it back down / you push it back down No /Youll never get it inside Push it back down BlackOut Blood in your eye

Floating down / as colors fill the light we look upFrom the ground / in fields of paper white and floatingUp / you pass us in the night A future gazing out / aPast to overwrite so come down / far below weve beenWaiting to collect the things you know Come down / farBelow weve been waiting to collect what you've let go

Come downOh

WRETCHES AND KINGS

Theres a time, when the operation of the machine becomesSo odious.Makes you so sick at heart, that you cant take part,You cant even passively take part.And youve got to put your bodies upon the gears and uponThe wheels,Upon the levers,Upon all the apparatus. And youve got to make it stop!

To save face, how low can you go?Talk a lotta game, but yet you dont know.Static on the wind, makes us all say whoa!The people up top push the people down low.Get down, and obey every word.Steady, get in line if you havent yet heard.Wanna take what I got, dont be absurd.Dont fight the power, nobody gets hurt.If you havent heard yet, then Im letting you knowThere aint shit we dont run when the guns unloadAnd no one make a move, unless my people say soGot everything outta control, now everybody go

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey

Feel alone, final blowWe, the animals, take controlHear us now, clear and tallWretches and kings, we come for you

So keep face, how slow can you go?Talk a lotta shit, and yet you dont know.Fire on the wind, makes you all say whoa!The people up top and the people down low.Get down, and Im runnin it like that.The front of the attack is exactly where Im at.Somewhere in between the kick and the hi-hatThe pen and the contract, the pitch and the contactSo get with the combat, Im lettin them knowThere aint shit you can say to make me back down, no.So push the button let the whole thing blow.Spinning everything outta control, now everybody go.

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey

Feel alone, final blowWe, the animals, take controlHear us now, clear and tallWretches and kings, we come for youStill alone, fight our blowFilthy animals beat down lowSteel and bone, black and blueRun at the sunshine, we come for you

From the front to the back and to side to sideIf you feel what I feel, put em up real highFront to the back and to side to sideIf you feel what I feel, put em up real high

Theres a time, when the operation of the machine becomesSo odious.Makes you so sick at heart, that you cant take part,You cant even passively take part.And youve got to put your bodies upon the gears and uponThe wheels,Upon the levers,Upon all the apparatus. And youve got to make it stop!And youve got to indicate to the people, run in to thePeople on it.And unless youre free, the machine will be preventedFrom working at all!

WISDOM JUSTICE AND LOVE

I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight,Because my conscience leaves me no other choice.A true revolution of values will lay hands on theWorld order and say of war:This way of settling difference is not just.This business of burning human beings with napalm,Filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows,Of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into veins ofPeople normally humane.

Of sending men home from the dark and bloody battlefieldsPhysically handicapped and psychologically deranged,Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love. (x6)

IRIDESCENT

When you were standing in the wake of devastationWhen you were waiting on the edge of the unknownWith the cataclysm raining down, insides crying save me nowYou were there and possibly alone.

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?You build up all the failures all you've knownRemember all the sadness and frustrationAnd let it go, let it go.

And in the burst of light that blinded every angelAs if the sky had blown the heavens into starsYou felt the gravity of temper grace falling into empty spaceNo one there to catch you in there arms

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?You build up all the failures all you've knownRemember all the sadness and frustrationAnd let it go, let it go.

(Multiple Voices)Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?You build up all the failures all you've knownRemember all the sadness and frustrationAnd let it go,Let it goLet it goLet it goLet it goDo you feel cold and lost in desperation?You build up all the failures all you've knownRemember all the sadness and frustrationAnd let it go, let it go.

THE MESSENGER

When you feel you're aloneAnd cut off from this cruel worldYour instinct's telling you to runListen to your heart, those angel voicesThey'll sing to youThey'll be your guide back home

When life leaves us blindLove keeps us kind,It keeps us kind.

When you've suffered enoughAnd your spirit is breakingYou're growing desperate from the fightRemember your love, and you always will beThis melody will always bring you right back home

When life leaves us blindLove keeps us kind,It keeps us kind.

When life leaves us blindLove keeps us kind,

Ooooohhhh, ooooohhhh...
