Down Through the Ages Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Give me strength to retain
What my fathers brought forth
Hold no scars on their memory
No regret for the truth they had founded
Nevermore this tragedy
[Pre-Chorus]
Forsaken few, they're left with nothing
No longer hold them down
[Verse 2]
Hands once tied
Now empower my enemy
A common thread
That oppression believes
The grand design (The grand design)
Ends in tyranny
The cost of safety's paid
When no one is free
[Pre-Chorus]
Forsaken few (Forsaken few)
They're left with nothing
No longer hold them down
Believe this truth (Believe this truth):
We're wrong to trust them
No longer hold them down
[Chorus]
It's come, down through the ages
Don't let it fall away
Don't let it fall away
This gift, down through the ages
Don't let it fall away
Don't let it fall away
[Bridge]
Our greatness is our proof
They know these words are true
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Believe this truth (Believe this truth):
We're wrong to trust them
(Wrong to trust them)
[Chorus]
It's come, down through the ages
Don't let it fall away
Don't let it fall away
This gift, down through the ages
Don't let it fall away
Don't let it fall away
It's come, down through the ages
Don't let it fall away
Don't let it fall away
This gift, down through the ages
Don't let it fall away
Don't let it fall away
Asking Too Much Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I have no words that I can say
To make you see that
I know I couldn't make you stay
How can I beat this?
[Pre-Chorus]
What have you done?
This all seems so wrong
I hate that you'd let it end
And now that you're gone
The nights seem so long
And I can't pretend
[Chorus]
I know I'm asking too much
And you're not coming back again
I know I'm asking too much
And you'll never be mine again
I'm not gonna find you outside of my door
But, damn, I wanna let you in
I know I'm asking too much, and you'll never...
[Verse 2]
And still, the writing on the wall
Too close to see it
You know this better than them all
You don't believe it
[Pre-Chorus]
What have you done?
This all seems so wrong
I hate that you'd let it end (Let it end)
And now that you're gone
The nights seem so long
And I can't pretend
[Chorus]
I know I'm asking too much
And you're not coming back again
I know I'm asking too much
And you'll never be mine again
I'm not gonna find you outside of my door
But, damn, I wanna let you in
I know I'm asking too much
And you'll never be mine again
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
And now you're gone
And nothing makes this
Seem more wrong
The memory of your face
Keeps draggin' me along
When I feel lost
I know that I have paid the cost
And now I'll find my way
[Chorus]
I know I'm asking too much
And you're not coming back again
I know I'm asking too much
And you'll never be mine again
I'm not gonna find you outside of my door
But, damn, I wanna let you in
I know I'm asking too much
And you'll never be mine again

[Outro]
Now...
Now let them...
Now let them tremble...
Just Moments in Time Lyrics
[Verse 1]
No reason to repent
No one will answer my prayers
And in the black of night
I call and no one's there
A lack of vision
A lack of sight
One god destroys me
Another brings me to life
[Pre-Chorus]
Indebted before we leave the womb
A lifetime spent to avoid our doom
A struggle so basic, we live our lives in fear
It still means nothing because nothing is real
[Chorus]
We are all just moments in time
We come from nothing
And we're nothing when we die
We are all just an instant in time
We come from nothing
And we're nothing when we die
[Verse 2]
Vastness (Vastness)
Confounds us every day
Arrogance (Arrogance)
These silly games we play
Why should we believe we are eternal?
Why should we believe?
So clever, but primal urges block our way
Designed by time, there could be no other way
[Pre-Chorus]
Take solace in ignorance, return to nothing
And in nothing remain
[Chorus]
We are all just moments in time
We come from nothing
And we're nothing when we die
We are all just an instant in time
We come from nothing
And we're nothing when we die
[Bridge]
Eternity is so massive
We cannot comprehend
So, take every last bit
And on nothing depend
We are moments in time
We come from nothing
We are moments in time
We are nothing
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
No man can comprehend
[Chorus]
We are all just moments in time
We come from nothing (We come from nothing)
And we're nothing when we die
We are all just an instant in time
We come from nothing (Nothing)
And we're nothing when we die
[Outro]
No man can comprehend
We are nothing
What If I Was Nothing Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Just let it go, don't wanna argue anymore
I can't be sure, I know just what we're fightin' for
I know you're scared and that you're thinkin' I may go
I'm not leavin', I'm not leavin'
[Pre-Chorus]
And if you're thinkin' I might, might be lead astray
Just remember this one question
[Chorus]
What if I was nothin'? What if this is true?
What if I was nothin', girl, nothin' without you
So what if I was angry? What did you think I'd do?
I told you that I love you, girl, I'm nothin' without you
[Verse 2]
I know it's hard, it seems we've worked at this so long
It's often foolish pride that tells us we're not wrong
I hear your voice, you tell me that you'll never go
And I believe it, I believe it
[Pre-Chorus]
And if you're thinkin' I might, might be lead astray
Just remember this one question
[Chorus]
What if I was nothin'? What if this is true?
What if I was nothin', girl, nothin' without you
So what if I was angry? What did you think I'd do?
I told you that I love you, girl, I'm nothin' without you
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
And we can keep this goin' on
We'll make it work some way
And every step, it makes us
Stronger every day
[Pre-Chorus]
And if you're thinkin' I might, might be lead astray
Just remember this one question
[Chorus]
What if I was nothin'? What if this is true?
What if I was nothin', girl, nothin' without you
So what if I was angry? What did you think I'd do?
I told you that I love you, girl, I'm nothin' without you
What if I was nothin'? What if this is true? (What if I was nothin'?)
What if I was nothin', girl, nothin' without you (What if I was nothin')
So what if I was angry? (What if I was nothin') What did you think I'd do?
I told you that I love you, girl, I'm nothin' without you
Not Fading Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know
It's not so easy to know
Just how far
I can go without you
The time
That you spend sleeping alone
Wondering if I still
Know you're waiting
[Pre-Chorus]
And if you're lonely
Wondering about me
Call out my name
I'll be there
[Chorus]
If I am gone and you're alone
I still can feel you
It's not fading (Fading)
Not fading, my heart's for you
And all along, you've kept me strong
I still can feel you
It's not fading (Fading)
Not fading, my heart's for you
[Verse 2]
Been days
When I don't want to go on
Feel I can't still be
Strong without you
Yet I
Can't think of anything lost
That I've worked for
So long and found it
[Pre-Chorus]
And if you're lonely
Wondering about me
Call out my name
I'll be there
[Chorus]
If I am gone and you're alone
I still can feel you
It's not fading (Fading)
Not fading, my heart's for you
And all along, you've kept me strong
I still can feel you
It's not fading (Fading)
Not fading, my heart's for you
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I can still feel you
It's not fading
My heart is always with you
[Pre-Chorus]
And if you're lonely
Wondering about me
Call out my name
[Chorus]
If I am gone and you're alone
I still can feel you
It's not fading (Fading)
Not fading, my heart's for you
And all along, you've kept me strong
I still can feel you
It's not fading (Fading)
Not fading, my heart's for you
