A thousand Suns - Lyrics

feelthless · September 7, 2010

let's try to figure them out,,

01. The Requiem

God save us everyone,

will we burn inside the fires

of a thousand suns?

for the sins of my hand

sins of my tongue

sins of my father

sins of my young

02. The Radiance (by LMK)

We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remember the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says: “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.

03. Burning In The Skies (by Joe_lp)

I used the dead wood to make the fire rise

The blood of innocents burning in the skies

I filled my cup with the rising of the sea

And poured it out in an ocean of debris

Oh

I'm swimming in the smoke

Of bridges I have burned

So don't apologize

I'm losing what I don't deserve

What I don't deserve.

We held our breath when the clouds began to fall

But you were lost in the beating of the storm

But in the end, we were made to be apart

Like separate chambers of the human heart

No

I'm swimming in the smoke

Of bridges I have burned

So don't apologize

I'm losing what I don't deserve

It's in the blackened bones

Of bridges I have burned

So don't apologize

I'm losing what I don't deserve

What I don't deserve

The blame is mine alone

For bridges I have burned

So don't apologize

I'm losing what I don't deserve

What I don't deserve

I used the dead wood to make the fire rise

The blood of innocents burning in the skies

04. Empty Spaces

none

05. When They Come For Me (by LPPanther)

Mike:

Yeah,

I am not a pattern to be followed.

The pill that I’m on is a tough one to swallow.

I’m not a criminal, not a role model,

Not a born leader, I’m a tough act to follow.

I am not the fortune and the fame,

Nor the same person telling you to forfeit the game.

I came in the ring like a dog on a chain,

And then found out the underbelly’s sicker than it seems.

And it seems ugly, but it could get worse,

Cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse.

Cause once you’ve got a theory of how the thing works,

Everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first.

And I’m not a robot, I’m not a monkey,

I will not dance even if the beat’s funky.

Opposite of lazy, far from a punk,

Y’all oughta stop talking,

Start tryna catch up mothafuckah!

And all the people say:

Band:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Mike:

Try ta catch up mothafuckuh!

Band:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Mike:

Lauryn said money changed the situation,

Big said it increased the complication,

Kane said don’t step, I ain’t the one,

Chuck said a uzi weigh a mother fuckin ton.

And I’m just a student of the game that they taught me.

Rockin every stage in every place that they brought me.

I’m awfully underrated, but came here to correct it,

And so it ain’t forsaken, I’ma say this for the record,

I am:

The opposite of whack,

Opposite of weak,

Opposite of slack.

Sendin em the heat

Sendin em a crack,

Closest to a (peek?).

Far from above

Y’all oughta stop talking,

Start tryna catch up mothafuckah!

And all the people say:

Band:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Mike:

Try ta catch up mothafuckuh!

Band:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Chester:

Oh when they come for me,

Come for me,

I’ll be gone.

Chester and Mike:

Oh when they come for me,

Come for me,

I’ll be gone.

Oh when they come for me,

Come for me,

I’ll be gone.

Mike:

And all the people say:

Band:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Mike:

Try ta catch up mothafuckuh!

Band:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Mike:

And all the people say:

Band:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Mike:

Try ta catch up mothafuckuh!

Band:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Brad:

Presten Atencion Todos, Toda La Gente Preste Atencion, Escuchenme Ahora Mismo

(Pay attention everybody, all the people pay attention, listen to me now)

Chester:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Band: Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey

06. Robot Boy (by Jack)

(Ooh, Ooh)

You say "You're not gonna fight, 'cuz no one will fight for you,"

And you think (this knot end of love?) and no one it give it to

And you're sure you've heard for so long, "You've got nothing left to lose,"

So, you say "You're not gonna fight, 'cuz no one will fight for you."

You say "The weight of the world has kept you from letting go,"

And you think compassions will fall and you'll never let it show

And you're sure you've heard in a way, that "No one will ever know,"

But, someday the weight of the world will give you the strength to go

OH! OH! Yeah! Ohhhhh! Yeah! Yeah!

Hold on, the weight of the world will give you the strength to go

So, hold on, the weight of the world will give you the strength to go

Just, hold on, the weight of the world will give you the strength to go

07. Jornada Del Muerto (by dark_master)

持ち上げて、解放して

(mochiagete, tokihanashite)

or "Lift me up. Let me go."

08. Waiting For The End

this is not the end / this is not the beginning

Just a voice like a riot rocking every remission

Once you listen to the tone in a violent rhythm

And all the words sound steady

So nobody forget 'em

Say yeah

Like fist flying up in the air

Like we're holding on to something that's invisible there

'cause we're living at the mercy of a painted riviere?

Until we get it / forget it / let it all disappear

Waiting for the end to come

Wishing I had strength to stand

This is not what I had planned

It's out of my control

Flying at the speed of light

Thoughts were spinning in my head

So many things were left unsaid

It's hard to let you go

I know what it takes to move on

I know how it feels to lie

All I want to do is trade this life for something new

Holding on to what I haven't got

Sitting in an empty room

Trying to forget the past

This was never meant to last

I wish it wasn't so

I know what it takes to move on

I know how it feels to lie

All I want to do is trade this life for something new

Holding on to what I haven't got

What was that when I thought it was done

I thought it felt right but the right was wrong

All caught up in the eye of the storm

Trying to figure out what it's like moving on

And I don't even know what kind of things I said

My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead

So I'm picking up the pieces / where to begin

That hardest part of that is starting again

All I want to do is trade this life for something new

Holding on what I haven't got

I'm holding on to what I haven't got

Holding on to what I haven't got

09. Blackout (by Legend)

I'm stuck in this bed you made,

Alone in this sinking feeling.

I saw through the words you said,

To the secrets you've been keeping.

It's written upon your face,

All the lies and they cut so deeply.

You can't get enough,

You take and take and take,

And never say,

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU GOT TO GET OUT OF SIGHT!

YOU PUSH IT BACK DOWN!

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU'LL NEVER GET OUT OF SIGHT

YOU PUSH IT BACK DOWN

BLACKOUT

BLOOD IN YOUR EYE

You say that it's not your fault,

And said that I am mistaken.

You said it's not what it seems,

No remorse for the trust you’re breaking.

You run to the back, you fall,

Suffocate in the mess you’re making.

You can't get enough,

You take and take and take and take and take

FUCK IT ARE YOU LISTENING?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU GOT TO GET OUT OF SIGHT!

YOU PUSH IT BACK DOWN!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU'LL NEVER GET OUT OF SIGHT!

YOU PUSH IT BACK DOWN!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU'LL NEVER GET OUT OF SIGHT!

YOU PUSH IT BACK DOWN!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU'LL NEVER GET OUT OF SIGHT!

YOU PUSH IT BACK DOWN!

BLACKOUT, BLOOD IN YOUR EYE!

B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-BLACKOUT, BLOOD IN YOUR EYE!

YOU PUSH IT BACK DOWN! PUSH IT BACK D-D-DOWN!

YOU-Y-Y-Y-Y-YOU PUSH IT BACK DOWN, BLOOD IN YOUR EYE!

BLACKOU-BLACKOUT! B-B-B-B-BLACKOUT, BLA- IN YOUR EYE!

BLACKOUT-BLA-BLA-BLA-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLACKOUT-BLOOD IN YOUR ER-ER-ER-ER!

YOU-YOU-YOOP-YOOP-YOU-YOU-BLACKOUT-BLACKOUT BLOOD, BLACKOUT BL-BL-BL-BL,

BLACKOUT -- BLOOD IN YOUR EYEEEEE

BLACKOUT -- BLOOD IN YOUR EYE

Floating now, as colors fill the light.

We look up from the ground, in fields of painted white.

And floating up, you pass us in the night.

The future gazing out, a past to overwrite.

So come down, far below.

We've been waiting to correct the things you know.

Come down, far below.

We've been waiting to correct what you've let go.

COME DOWN LOW

10. Wretches And Kings

“There’s a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part; you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop. And you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all” -Mario Savio

To save face / how low can you go

Talk a lot of game but yet you don’t know

Static on the way / make us all say whoa

The people up top push the people down low

Get down

And obey every word

Steady getting mine if you haven’t yet heard

Wanna take what I got / don’t be absurd

Don’t fight the power / nobody gets hurt

If you haven’t heard yet then I’m letting you know

There ain’t shit we don’t run when the guns unload

And no one make a move unless my people say so

Got everything outta control

Now everybody go

Steel unload / final blow

We the animals take control

Hear us now / clear and true

Wretches and kings we come for you

So keep pace / how slow can you go

Talk a lot of shit and yet you don’t know

Fire on the way / make you all say whoa

The people up top and the people down low

Get down

And I’m running it like that

The front of the attack is exactly where I’m at

Somewhere in between the kick and the hi hat

The pen and the contract

The pitch and the contact

So get with the combat / I’m letting ‘em know

There ain’t 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

Steel unload / final blow

We the animals take control

Hear us now / clear and true

Wretches and kings we come for you

Steel unload / fire blow

Filthy animals / beat them low

Skin and bone / black and blue

No more this sun shall beat onto you

From the front to the back and the side to side

If you fear what I feel put ‘em up real high

11. Wisdom, Justice, And Love (by LMK)

“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 the world order and say of war. This way of settling differences is not just This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into veins of people normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love

cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love

12. Iridescent (by Joe_lp)

When you were standing in the wake of devastation

When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown

And with the cataclysm raining down

Insides crying "Save me now,"

You were there, impossibly alone

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?

You build up hope, but failure's all you've known

Remember all the sadness and frustration

And let it go. Let it go.

And in a burst of light that blinded every angel

As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars

You felt the gravity of tempered grace

Falling into empty space

No one there to catch you in their arms

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?

You build up hope, but failure's all you've known

Remember all the sadness and frustration

And let it go. Let it go.

13. Fallout (by Jack)

Swimming in the smoke

Of bridges I have burned

So don't apologize

I'm losing what I don't deserve

What I don't deserve.

14. The Catalyst

God bless us every one

We're a broken people living under loaded gun

And it can't be outfought

It can't be outdone

It can't be outmatched

It can't be outrun

No

And when I close my eyes tonight

To symphonies of blinding light

(God bless us every one / we're a broken people living under loaded gun)

Oh / like memories in cold decay

Transmissions echoing away

Far from the world of you and I

Where oceans bleed into the sky

God save us every one

Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns

For the sins of our hand

The sins of our tongue

The sins of our father

The sins of our young

No

And when I close my eyes tonight

To symphonies of blinding light

(God save us every one / will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns)

Oh / like memories in cold decay

Transmissions echoing away

Far from the world of you and I

Where oceans bleed into the sky

Lift me up

Let me go

15. The Messenger (by Reflectionist)

When you feel you're alone

And cut off from this cruel world

Your instinct's telling you to run

Listen to your heart, those angel voices

They'll sing to you

They'll be your guide back home

When life leaves us blind

Love keeps us kind,

It keeps us kind.

When you've suffered enough

And your spirit is breaking

You're growing desperate from the fight

Remember your love, and you always will be

This melody will always bring you right back home

When life leaves us blind

Love keeps us kind,

It keeps us kind.
