Doomsday Clock Lyrics
8 ContributorsDoomsday Clock LyricsIs everyone afraid?
Is everyone ashamed?
They’re running towards their holes, to find out
Apocalyptic means are lost amongst our dead
A message to our friends to get out
There’s wages on this fear
Oh so clear
Depends on what you’ll pay to hear
They’re bound to kill us all
In whitewashed halls
Their jackals lick their paws
Please don’t stop
It’s lonely at the top
These lonely days
When will they ever stop?
This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
Not broken
I love life every day
In each and every way
Kafka would be proud, to find out
I’m certain of the end
It’s the means that has me spooked
It takes an unknown truth to get out
I’m guessing I’m born free, silly me
I was meant to beg from my knees
Please don’t stop
It’s lonely at the top
These lonely days
When will they ever stop?
This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
These lonely days when will they ever stop?
We gotta dig in, gas masks on
Wait in the sunshine, all bug-eyed
If this is living?
Sakes alive!
Well then they can’t win
No one survives
Is everyone afraid?
You should be ashamed
Apocalyptic screams
Mean nothing to the dead
Kissing that ‘ol sun
To know all there is
Come on, last call
You should want it all
Ah, it’s lonely at the top
These lonely days
When will they ever stop
This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
These lonely days
When will they ever stop
This ticking in my heart
Is everyone afraid?
Bleeding the Orchid Lyrics
6 ContributorsBleeding the Orchid LyricsIf life is my witness
Love is my song
If nothing means no one
Then blank, i belong
If fear conquers easy
I can lead on
Milk from the flower
Blood from the dawn
So here we are
Upon your stage
The laughs we shared
The dreams we saved
Bleeding the orchid
We’re bleeding the orchid
Bleeding the orchid
Blessed my weakness
Blessed my wrongs
As hate forms the sequence
Of one by one
As freedoms dies easy
We suffrage the want
There’s clouds in my shower
Ghosts in my arms
Youth is where you are
Faith some sinner’s child
We’re bleeding the orchid
We’re bleeding the orchid
Bleeding the orchid
Gilded art this silent march past triumph thru alarm
So thus charmed
Does this will stand for much?
But heart’s untouched by heart’s unloved
Bleeding the orchid
Here we are
Upon your stage
The love we share
The dreams we’ll save
They’re bleeding the orchid
They’re bleeding the orchid
They’re bleeding the orchid
They’re bleeding the orchid
Tarantula Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't want to fight
Every single night
Everything I want is in your eyes
You and me go back
To places I don't know to care
The spoils of all I got were left for scraps
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't let me say this
But you're no worse than me
It's crazy
[Chorus]
We are the real
If real ever was
And just because
We are the real
They feel we have enough
We are the real
'Cause someone gave us up
[Post-Chorus]
I want to be there when you're happy
I want to love you when you're sad
Can't stand the morning rain?
Get out, I'll take your place, then
Can't stand the blazing sun?
Then, close your eyes you'll see
The angel dust
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
I don't want to be
Anything believed
A million watts of sound can't compare
Come along you'll see the world
The pulse ripples, the crowd unfurls
The current starts to flow, and, then, you're on
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, it's white hot soul they want
To sing for
[Chorus]
We are the real
If real ever was
And just because
We are the ruin
Of every living soul
We are surreal
'Cause someone gave us up
[Post-Chorus]
Don't break the oath
I want to love you when you're happy
Don't break this oath
I want to be there when you're sad
Freeze-frame the pouring rain
[Bridge]
We are the real
As real as any ghost
So, easy now
We are the real
In ever living soul
Oh, don't they know?
[Interlude]
Can't stand the blazing sun?
Can't stand the morning rain?
Oh, get out, I'll take your place again
[Outro]
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone, at all
If it's a white hot soul they want
Then, a black heart they'll get
Starz Lyrics
3 ContributorsStarz LyricsBorn of love and cast in light
Don’t you know we cannot die
We are stars
We are
We are stars
We are
We are stars
We are
The stars above, stars of grace
Shining down what’s left of face
You hurt so bad
This knowing, this fallacy
I want so much
To follow as I lead
For love I keep
Silent I weep
Dead suns rule dead air
But Heaven is everywhere
Stars…
Torn from god and flung towards night
Don’t you want what I can’t fight
We are stars
We are
We are stars
We are
We are stars
We are
The stars that shine, stars that bleed
Silver seeking destiny
So follow please
This hurts so much
This knowing carries me
We want so bad
We forget we are free
Spirit smile on
Deep black diamond
So rise the lost toys
Island of white noise
And purple haze
We are starz
We are starz
We are starz
What hurts so much
Is knowing we are free!
United States Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro 00:00-01:42]
[Verse 1]
Tired eyes, close for days
There’s no regret
Cause there’s no place
I don’t know what i believe
But if i feel safe, what do i need?
[Chorus]
Revolution!
Revolution!
Revolution blues
What will they do?
Revolution!
Revolution blues
What will they do to me?
What will they do to me?
What will they do to me?
What will they do to me?
[Verse 2]
Dulcet tongues, whisper fast
The future yearns
Right now’s the past
Rouse me soon, the end draws nigh
Who’s side are you on?
Your blood you cannot buy
[Chorus]
Revolution!
Revolution!
Revolution blues
What will they do?
Revolution!
Revolution!
Revolution blues
What will they do to you?
[Instrumental Break 04:19-06:48]
[Verse 3]
We’re alive
I feel alright
So tonight
I got to ask you why?
Why tonight?
It’s no surprise
I’ve got to survive!
[Bridge]
Freedom shines a light ahead
I’ll lead the last charge from bed
They said my last rites
I don’t have to run scared no more
[Verse 4]
Fight!
I wanna fight!
I wanna fight!
Revolution tonight!
I wanna fight!
I wanna fight! Revolution tonight!
Acolyte, acolyte
Do you wanna watch me die?
[Outro]
Let me be something good
Let me prove something real like I should
Let me embrace every single living thing
Let me be every single moment I ever misunderstood
[Instrumental Outro]
(Come On) Let’s Go! Lyrics
3 Contributors(Come On) Let’s Go! LyricsC’mon let’s go
I’ll find you waiting there
Beyond their violence dared
A light around your soul
You could be my friend
Lovely and different
Crushing up the stars above us
A guarantee to spoil our rot
Tears were once my only way back home
Someone speaks and instantly I’m cold
C’mon let’s go
C’mon let’s go
Beyond the great unknown
Beyond their punched-up skulls
To die upon this road
C’mon let’s go
C’mon let’s go
Anesthetized I’m hollow
Playing to the dark back row
C’mon let’s go
Go
C’mon let’s go
Assimilate, it’s all been staged
I’ve made mistakes, they penetrate
They’re gonna take, it’s all the same
They cannot wait, their love spells hate
I wanna love
I wanna love
I’m pushing back
I’m serpentine
I’m pushing back
Lord save me
With need
Lord walk me home
C’mon let’s go
C’mon, c’mon let’s go
Tears were once my only way back home
Someone weeps and instantly I’m thrown
C’mon let’s go
C’mon let’s go
Go
C’mon let’s go
Pomp and Circumstances Lyrics
4 ContributorsPomp and Circumstances LyricsWhen I was born I lost
When I was freed I fought
Now that I’m loved I’m caught
Between the rest and this tragic mess
An invited guest
Torn, broken and frayed
Oh don’t we face
War, sunshine and grace
Oh won’t you stay
For a while
We can fail in style
I can hold your smile
For a while
What was once new now gone
What was once praised now wrong
As they go, we can say we know
But what do we know
But warm sunshine and graves
Don’t we see
What’s bitter to taste
Torn, broken and frayed
Don’t we face
War, sunshine and graves
Won’t you stay
’cause I won’t tell
I won’t tell a soul
That I’m mad as hell
Torn, broken and frayed
I’m torn, broken and frayed
No, I’m cold, worn out and shamed
