Take a Bow Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Corrupt, you corrupt
And bring corruption to all that you touch
Hold, you'll behold
And beholden for all that you've done
[Verse 2]
And spell, cast a spell
And cast a spell on the country you run
And risk, you will risk
You will risk all their lives and their souls
[Chorus]
And burn, you will burn
You will burn in Hell, yeah, you'll burn in Hell
You'll burn in Hell, yeah, you'll burn in Hell
For your sins
[Bridge]
Ooh, and our freedom's consuming itself
What we've become
Is contrary to what we want
Take a bow
[Verse 3]
Death, you bring death
And destruction to all that you touch
Pay, you must pay
You must pay for your crimes against the earth
[Verse 4]
And Hex, feed the Hex
Feed the Hex on the country you love
And beg, you will beg
You will beg for their lives and their souls
[Chorus]
And burn, you will burn
You will burn in Hell, yeah, you'll burn in Hell
You'll burn in Hell, yeah, you'll burn in Hell
For your sins
Starlight Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
[Verse 2]
A starlight
I will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore
[Interlude]
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms
[Verse 3]
My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away
[Chorus]
And our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
And our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
[Post-Chorus]
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms
[Verse 1]
Far away
This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away
[Chorus]
And our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations, yeah
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
[Post-Chorus]
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms
[Outro]
I just wanted to hold
Supermassive Black Hole Lyrics
[Verse 1: Matt Bellamy]
Ooh, baby, don't you know I suffer?
Ooh, baby, can't you hear me moan?
You caught me under false pretenses
How long before you let me go?
[Pre-Chorus: Matt Bellamy]
Ooh, you set my soul alight
Ooh, you set my soul alight
[Chorus: Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme, Dom Howard]
Glaciers melting in the dead of night (Ooh)
And the superstar's sucked into the supermassive (You set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night (Ooh)
And the superstar's sucked into the (You set my soul)
Into the supermassive
[Verse 2: Matt Bellamy]
I thought I was a fool for no one
But, ooh, baby, I'm a fool for you
You're the queen of the superficial
How long before you tell the truth?
[Pre-Chorus: Matt Bellamy]
Ooh, you set my soul alight
Ooh, you set my soul alight
[Chorus: Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme, Dom Howard]
Glaciers melting in the dead of night (Ooh)
And the superstar's sucked into the supermassive (You set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night (Ooh)
And the superstar's sucked into the (You set my soul)
Into the supermassive
[Bridge: Chris Wolstenholme]
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
[Chorus: Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme, Dom Howard]
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstar's sucked into the supermassive
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstar's sucked into the supermassive
Glaciers melting in the dead of night (Ooh)
And the superstar's sucked into the supermassive (You set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night (Ooh)
And the superstar's sucked into the (You set my soul)
Into the supermassive

Supermassive black hole
Map of the Problematique Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Fear and panic in the air
I want to be free from desolation and despair
And I feel like everything I sow
Is being swept away, well I refuse to let you go
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't get it right
Get it right
Since I met you
[Chorus]
Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over?
[Verse 2]
Life will flash before my eyes
So scattered and lost, I want to touch the other side
And no one thinks they are to blame
Why can't we see that when we bleed, we bleed the same?
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't get it right
Get it right
Since I met you
[Chorus]
Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over?
Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over?
Soldier’s Poem Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Throw it all away
Let's lose ourselves
'Cause there's no one left for us to blame
It's a shame we're all dying
And do you think you deserve your freedom?
[Verse 2]
How could you send us
So far away from home
When you know damn well that this is wrong?
I would still lay down my life for you
And do you think you deserve your freedom?
[Outro]
No, I don't think you do
There's no justice in the world
There's no justice in the world
And there never was
Invincible Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Follow through
Make your dreams come true
Don't give up the fight
You will be alright
'Cause there's no one like you
In the universe
[Verse 2]
And don't be afraid
Of what your mind conceives
You should make a stand
Stand up for what you believe
And tonight, we can truly say
Together we're invincible
[Chorus]
And during the struggle they will pull us down
But please, please, let's use this chance to turn things around
And tonight, we can truly say
Together we're invincible
[Verse 3]
Do it on your own
It makes no difference to me
What you leave behind
What you choose to be
And whatever they say
Your soul's unbreakable
[Chorus]
And during the struggle they will pull us down
But please, please, let's use this chance to turn things around
And tonight, we can truly say
Together we're invincible
Together we're invincible
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
During the struggle they will pull us down
But please, please, let's use this chance to turn things around
And tonight, we can truly say
Together we're invincible
Together we're invincible
Assassin Lyrics
[Verse 1]
War is overdue
The time has come for you
To shoot your leaders down
Join forces underground
[Chorus]
Lose control
An increasing pace
Warped and bewitched
In time to erase
Whatever they say
These people are torn
Wild and bereft
Assassin is born, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Woah, yeah!
(Aim! Shoot! Kill your leaders!)
(Aim! Kill them all!)
[Verse 2]
Oppose and disagree
Destroy demonocracy
[Chorus]
Lose control
An increasing pace
Warped and bewitched
In time to erase
Whatever they say
These people are torn
Wild and bereft
Assassin is born, yeah
[Outro]
Go!
Exo-Politics Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Open the skies over me
I am waiting patiently
I'll wait for a sign
As conspiracies unwind
Will you slam shut or free your mind
Or stay hypnotized?
[Chorus 1]
When the Zetas fill the skies
Will our leaders tell us why?
And fully loaded satellites
Will conquer nothing but our minds
[Post-Chorus]
And I'm waiting patiently
And I'll wait for the sign
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Carried through the centuries
Secrets locked up and loaded on my back
Well, it weighs me down
[Chorus 2]
When the Zetas fill the skies
It's just our leaders in disguise
Fully loaded satellites
Will conquer nothing but our minds
[Post-Chorus]
And I'm waiting patiently
And I'll wait for the sign, yeah
But I'm waiting patiently
And I'll wait for the sign
City of Delusion Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Stay away from me
Build a fortress and shield your beliefs
Touch the divine
As we fall in line
[Verse 2]
Can I believe when I don't trust?
All your theories turn to dust
I choose to hide
From the All-Seeing Eye
[Chorus]
Destroy this city of delusion
And break these walls down
And I will avenge
And justify my reasons with your blood
[Verse 3]
You will not rest or settle for less
Until you guzzle and squander what's left
Do not deny
That you live and let die
[Chorus]
Destroy this city of delusion
And break these walls down
And I will avenge
And justify my reasons with your blood
[Trumpet Solo]
[Chorus]
Destroy this city of delusion
And break these walls down
And I will avenge
And justify my reasons with your blood
Hoodoo Lyrics
[Verse]
Come into my life
Regress into a dream
We will hide
And build a new reality
Draw another picture
Of a life you could've had
Follow your instincts
And choose the other path
[Bridge]
You should never be afraid
You're protected from trouble and pain
Why, why?
Is this a crisis in your eyes, again?
[Chorus]
Come to be, how did it come to be?
Tied to a railroad, no love to set us free
Watch our souls fade away
And our bodies crumbling
Don't be afraid
I will take the blow for you
[Outro]
And I've had recurring nightmares
That I was loved for who I am
And missed the opportunity
To be a better man
Knights of Cydonia Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro with Vocalizations]
[Verse]
Come ride with me through the veins of history
I'll show you a god who falls asleep on the job
And how can we win when fools can be kings?
Don't waste your time, or time will waste you
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive
No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive
[Instrumental Outro]
