A Thousand Suns Lyrics

The Requiem

Ooohh

Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns,
For the sins of our hands,
Sins of our tongue,
The sins of our father,
The sins of our young

God save us everyone,
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns,
For the sins of our hands,
Sins of our tongue,
The sins of our father,
The sins of our young

The Radiance

We knew the world would not be the same,
A few people, laughed, a few people cried,
Most people were silent

I remembered 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

Burning In The Skies

I used the deadwood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies
I filled my cup with the rising of the sea
I poured it out in an ocean of debris,
Oooh

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 form
But you were lost in the beating of the storm
And in the end we were made to be apart
The separate chambers of the human heart,
Nooo

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

I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing 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,
What I don't deserve, ohh-oh
What I don't deserve,
I used the deadwood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies

Empty Spaces

(Instrumental)

When They Come For Me

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 I found out the underbelly is sicker than it seems
And it's seems ugly but it can get worse,
Cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse
Cause once you have the 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 ought to stop talking, start tryin to catch up motherfucker
And all the people say
Aaahhh aaahhh aaahhh
Try to catch up motherfucker,
Aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh

Lauryn said money change a situation
Big said it increases the complication
Kane said don't stab, I ain't the one
Chuck said that uzi weigh a motherfucking ton
And i'm just a student of the game that they taught me
Rock in every stage in every place that they brought me
I'm awfully underrated but came here to correct it
And so it ain't mistakin imma state it for the record

I am the opposite of wack
Opposite of weak opposite of slack
Synonym of heat synonym of crack
Closest to a peak far from a pun

Y'all ought to stop talking, start tryin to catch up motherfucker
And all the people say
Aaahhh aaahhh aaahhh
Try to catch up motherfucker,
Aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh

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
Oh when they come for me
Come for me, i'll be gone

And all the people say,
Aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh
Try to catch up motherfucker,
Aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh
And all the people say,
Aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh
Try to catch up motherfucker,
Aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh

(Aahh aahh, aahh)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Robot Boy

You say, you're not going to fight
Because no one will fight for you,
And, you think there's not enough love
And no one to give it to,
And, you're sure you've hurt for so long
You've got nothing left to lose,
So, you say you're not going to fight
Because no one will fight for you

You say, the weight of the world
Has kept you from letting go,
And, you think compassion's a flaw
And you'll never let it show,
And, you're sure you've hurt in a way
That no one will ever know

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

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,
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

Jornada Del Muerto

Waiting For The End

Yeah, yo,
This is not the end
This is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot
Rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone
And the violent rhythm
And though the words sound steady
Something empty's within em

We say yeah
With fists fly up in the air
Like we're holding onto something
That's invisible there
Cause we're livin at the mercy
Of the pain and the fear
Until we dead 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

(Ohh..)
I know what it takes to move on,
I know how it feels to lie, all I wanna 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

(Ohh..)
I know what it takes to move on,
I know how it feels to lie, all I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't, got

Yo yo, what was left
When that fire was gone
I thought it felt alright
But that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm
And 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
Now where to begin
The hardest part of ending
Is starting again

Oh, all I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't, got

This is not the end
This is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot
Rocking every revision
(I'm holding on to what I haven't, got)
But you listen to the tone
And the violent rhythm
Though the words sound steady
Something emptys within em

We say yeah
With fists fly up in the air
Like we're holding onto something
That's invisible there
(Holding on to what I haven't, got)
Cause we're livin at the mercy
Of the pain and the fear
Until we dead it forget it
Let it all disappear

Blackout

I'm stuck in this bed you made
Alone with a sinking feeling
I saw through the words you said
To the secrets you'd been keeping
It's written upon your face
All the lies how they cut so deeply
You can't get enough you take and take and take and never say

No, You gotta get it inside
You push it back down,
You push it back down
No, you'll never get it inside
Push it back down, blackout blood in your eye

You say that it's not your fault
And swear that I am mistaken
You said it's not what it seems
No remorse for the trust your breaking
You run but then back you fall
Suffocate from the mess your making
You can't get enough you take and take and take and take
Fuck it are you listening

No, you gotta get it inside
You push it back down,
You push it back down
No, you'll never get it inside
Push it back down
You push it back down
No, you gotta get it inside
You push it back down,
You push it back down
No, you'll never get it inside
Push it back down, blackout blood in your eye

Blackout blood in your eye,
You push it back down, push it back down
You push it back down, blackout blood in your eye
(Blackout blood in your eye, blackout blood in your eye
Blackout blood in your eye, blackout blood in your eye
Blackout blood in your eye, blackout blood in your eye
Blackout blood in your eye, blackout blood in your eye)

Floating down
As colors fill the light
We look up from the ground
In fields of paper white
And floating up
You passed us in the night
A future gazing out
A past to overwrite
So come down, far below
We've been waiting to collect the things you know
Come down, far below
We've been waiting to collect what you've let go
Come down, (Oh), come down, (Oh),
Come down, (Oh), come down, (Oh),
Come down

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)

To save face, how low can you go
Talk a lotta game but yet you don't 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 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 lettin 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

(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey...)
Feel alone, final blow
We the animals, take control
Hear us now, clear and true
Wretches and kings, we come for you

So keep face, how slow can you go
Talk a lotta shit, and yet you don't know
Fire on the wind, makes you all say whoa
The people up top and the people down low
Get down, and i'm runnin 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 lettin them 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

(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey...)
Feel alone, final blow
We the animals, take control
Hear us now, clear and true
Wretches and kings, we come for you
Still alone, fight our blow
Filthy animals beat down low
Skin and bone, black and blue
No more the sun shall beat down for you

From the front to the back and the side to side
If you feel what I feel, put'em up real high
Front to the back and the side to side
If you feel what I feel, put'em up real high,
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey...)
From the front to the back and the side to side
If you feel what I feel, put'em up real high
Front to the back and the side to side
If you feel what I feel, put'em up real high
From the front to the back and the side to side
If you feel what I feel, put'em up real high
Front to the back and the side to side
If you feel what I feel, put'em up real high

(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey...)
(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)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

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 the world order and say of war,
This way of settling difference is, 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 the 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,
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love,
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love,
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love,
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love

Iridescent

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 and possibly alone

Do you feel cold, and lost in desperation
You build up all, the failures all you've known
Remember all, the sadness and frustration
And let it go, let it go

And in the burst of light that blinded every angel,
As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars,
You felt the gravity of temper grace falling into empty space
No 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 known
Remember all, the sadness and frustration
And let it go, let it go

(Do you feel cold, and lost in desperation
You build up all, the failures all you've known
Remember all, the sadness and frustration and let it go)

Let it go, let it go,
Let it go, let it go

Do you feel cold, and lost in desperation
You build up all, the failures all you've known
Remember all, the sadness and frustration
And let it go, let it go

Fallout

I'm swimming in the smoke,
Of bridges I have burned,
So don't apologize,
Losing 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

Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hands
The sins of our tongues
The sins of our fathers
The sins of our young, no

The Messenger

When you feel you're alone,
Cut off from this cruel world,
Your instincts telling you to run

Listen to your heart
Those angel faces
They'll see you to you
They'll be your guide
Back home, where life, leaves us blind,
Love, keeps us kind,
It keeps us kind

When you suffered it all
And your spirit is breaking
You're growing desperate from the fight

Remember your loved
And you always will be
This melody will always bring
You right, back home
When life leaves us blind,
Love, keeps us kind,
When life, leaves us blind,
Love, keeps us kind

Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhh

Blackbirds

I shiver and shake
Through warm air cold
I'm alone, on my own
In every mistake
I dig this hole
Through my skin, and bones

It's harder starting over
Then never to have changed,
With blackbirds following me
I'm digging out my grave
They close in swallowing me
The pain it comes in waves
I'm getting back what I gave

I sweat through the sheets
As daylight fades
As I waste, away
It traps me inside
Mistakes i've made
That's the price, I pay

It's harder starting over
Then never to have changed,
With blackbirds following me
I'm digging out my grave
They close in swallowing me
The pain it comes in waves
I'm getting back, what I gave

I drop to the floor like I did before
Stop watching i'm coughing
I can't be more what I want what I need
Over constant war like a well full of poison
A rotten core the blood goes thin
The fever stings and I shake from the hell
That the habits bring lay the sick ones down,
The bells will ring put pennies on the eyes
Let the dead men sing

Blackbirds following me
I'm digging out my grave
They close in swallowing me
The pain it comes in waves
I'm getting back, what I gave,
Blackbirds following me
I'm digging out my grave
They close in swallowing me
The pain it comes in waves
I'm getting back, what I gave,
I'm getting back, what I gave,
I'm getting back, what I gave
