The darkest hour's just before the dawn
The bottom dropped out of my world
My mind's reeling caught in no man's land
Break this deadlock for the life of me right to the end
[Pre-Chorus:]
Wake me, take me
Come ease my pain
Take a stroll down memory lane
Hope for those who remain
[Chorus:]
Undying where we dare
A diamond solitaire
Be and end of all
It is the clarion call
Devoting all
So carry the day
Consumed by passion, words cannot convey
And I'll be waiting in the wings
There is more to this than meets the eye
I live and breathe to brave the storm and kiss the night goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[2nd Chorus:]
Jewel in the crown
Can't keep a good man down
The force chasing the game
Us restless that we became
A winding lane
For those who break new ground
[Chorus:]
Undying where we dare
A diamond solitaire (solitaire)
Be and end of all (end of all)
It is the clarion call
Devoting all
So carry the day
Jewel in the crown
Can't keep a good man down (good man down)
The force chasing the game (chase the game)
Us restless that we became
A winding lane
For those who break new ground
Undying where we dare (undying where we dare)
A diamond solitaire (a diamond solitaire)
Be and end of all (be and end of all)
It is the clarion call (clarion call)
Undying devotion
Oh Maria (Sam Roberts)
You could never compromise
I could never satisfy you at all
Always thought you had gentle eyes
Then you've had me institutionalized (twice before)
Before I was a young man
Now look at me, I'm just younger than old
The years don't seem to touch you
It makes me wonder what you sold
Oh my Maria
I'll never change you, I know
I know
I need to see you
That never changes, oh no
You lived on the seventh floor
It was far from heaven but it meant more
You said things that were hard to ignore
My conversation makes you bored
You always hated wedding bells
You'd go out riding with the Hell's and say
Life is for the taking
Life is for the taking
Oh my Maria
I'll never change you, I know
I know
I need to see you
That never changes, oh no
So how's it going to be, Maria?
Will it be you and me?
Or will it be
Five more years of counting my tears
Five more years of living in fear
I beg for my supper at night
If this is love then it don't feel right
And my heart's burning out of control
They gave her five, but she's out on parole
Hey hey hey
This girl is leading me astray
Saw a photograph of you today
Your eyes look tired, but you haven't aged
And now I see that you made the front page
Married for the money and you blew him away
Oh Maria, when you were doing time
You only had five words on your mind
"Life is for the taking
Life is for the taking"
Oh my Maria
I'll never change you, I know
I know
I need to see you
That never changes, oh no
Oh my Maria
I'll never change you, I know
I know
I need to see you
That never changes, oh no
I beg for my supper at night
If this is love then it don't feel right
And my heart's burning out of control
They gave her five, but she's out on parole
Hey hey hey
This girl is leading me astray
Listen what I say
This girl is leading me astray
Unjustified (Russell Allen)
81 billion beats the soldier's drum
Price of living to high to over come
Politician preaching that war's the only way
While another bum dies in the streets of L.A.
It's all a lie unjustified
It's all for black gold
Killing Christian, killing Hebrew
Killing Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu
You can't take life
So sayth in the holy books you read
Manipulated minds
Serving prophets of greed
It's all a lie unjustified
It's all for black gold
And another one dies unjustified
We're selling our souls
Woe to the beggars catching pity in their hands
While the rich feast on the blood media
Broadcast across the land
And somewhere there's a child in a distant house
Feeling only what children know
Fed from a caldron of hate
Grows to deliver a deadly blow
It's all a lie unjustified
And another one dies unjustified
We're all terrorized and horrified
All for black gold
We Will Fly (Russell Allen)
Well, here we are
It's the world against us again
Again and again
Heartbreak after heartbreak, we forced the wings of love into the wind
Again and again
All our lives we struggled, I've come to realize
I've always found the strength to fight when I see your eyes
In your eyes
We will fly, you and I
Wherever we go, whatever road we choose
We can't lose
There'll be days when the going is hard, but it's just another bend
Just another little bend in the road
Oh yes it is, just a little bend
A little bend in the road
Where do they go?
Youthful years, they slip away
Far, far away
Been gone too long
Home is where I want to stay
Always, always
For so long I've struggled just to get back
I've always found the strength to fight when I see your eyes
In your eyes
We will fly, you and I
Wherever we go, whatever road we choose
We can't lose
There'll be days when the going is hard, but it's just another bend
Just another little bend in the road
Oh yes it is, just a little bend
A little bend in the road
So here we are
Playing the same old game again
Again and again
Against the odds, we seem to find a way to win
Again and again
All of life's a struggle, you've come to realize
In faith you find the strength to climb, to reach the sky
We will fly, you and I
Wherever we go, whatever road we choose
We can't lose
There'll be days when the going is hard, but it's just another bend
Just another bend in the road
Oh yes it is, just a little bend
Oh, baby, it is just a little bend
Oh, baby, baby, just a little bend
Oh baby, yeah, yes it is
I Don't Know (Dredg)
Well, I've been absorbed in mediocrity
Been hollowed by uncertainty
I've taken all of my beliefs
And given 'em up
Cause there's no guarantee
Of a god or longevity
Admit you don't know anything
And give it up
Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,
Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know
Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,
Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know
Give it up, give it up, give it up
Well I don't know what to believe anymore
But every now and then I feel a moment of awakening
But then it's gone, then it's gone, then it's gone
I'm blanketed by the warmth of ignorance
Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,
Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know
Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,
Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know
If I'll go somewhere special when I die
If I'll go somewhere special when I die
So I'll just go on living my way
There's a strength in duality
Penetrate mentality
Give it up, give it up
Learn from casualty
Don't have faith in anything
Give it up, give it up
Singing, I don't know, no, I'll never know
I'm giving up
Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,
Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know
If I'll go somewhere special when I die
If I'll go somewhere special when I die
So I'll just go on living my way
Sacrament (Pride And Fall)
View all the colours in your hand
A distinctive red shines trough them all
These rusty nails bear signs of blood
A sinful life will clear it all
You will bear my sin as if youre proud
Youll swear my name and beg me please
A moment to live in, a sequence to heal
Youll find no redemption here
Your heart
Your soul
Your everything
You will give it to me
This sacrament is for real
It will end some day you shall be free
This torturing nightmare will end with me
Ill place my coat around your shoulder
Ill bring comfort you shall be released
You will bear my sin as if youre proud
Youll swear my name and beg me please
A moment to live in, a sequence to heal
Youll find no redemption here
Your heart
Your soul
Your everything
You will give it to me
This sacrament is for real
Patterns
(Featuring Serj Tankian) (Iommi)
Life is a story
Go ahead and find your sight
Life is your glory
Go ahead and live the night
But to live means to be here
In the present now
Do try to bow for the gift of your day
Then you cede to the morning sun
Pretending that we live doesn't make us alive
Life is a story
Go ahead and find your sight
But to live means to be here
In the present now
Do try to bow for the gift of your day
Then you cede to the morning sun
Pretending that we see doesn't give us the sight
Pretending that we live doesn't make us alive
What is it that makes us lose sight
True sight, of what is real and essential
I'll take organized patterns of chaos
Over the chaotic organizations of man, any day
Pretending that we see doesn't give us the sight
Pretending that we live doesn't make us alive
Pretending that we see doesn't give us the sight
Pretending that we live doesn't make us alive
Circles (Tiamat)
And now that we're dead
We've learned how to live
Our failures taught us how to forgive
And now that we've rise from the ashes of me and you
All our dreams shall come true
Floating in circles
Stars shine a light our way
To meadows and fields, green as the grass
Where we lay down
Forever...
And now that we're clean
Our souls can be free
Our love is the only drug we need
And now that we're one
We don't need any God
Divinity flows in our blood
Floating in circles
Stars shine a light our way
To meadows and fields, green as the grass
Where we lay down
Forever...
Revolution Renaissance (Revolution Renaissance)
When the sun's setting down
Many answers I find
To the questions I'm
Asking myself
And the children still play
To the dying day
Without knowing what
Is awaiting
Nobody cares
It's all the same
Darkness prevails, it's getting
Worse each passing day
There's no return
The change is near
The great divide is coming
Sooner than you know
The price we will pay for
Our greediness is not worth it
Just look ahead and prepare
For a new kind of way
[Chorus:]
Revolution, evolution
Revolution renaissance
Revolution, evolution
Finding our way back to light
Revolution, resolution
Revolution renaissance
Revolution, resolution
Out of the darkest night
What you say to a child
That has 2 days to live
When you play with your
Brand new computer?
Are you closing your eyes?
Saying: what can I do?
Like the rest of the lambs
On the leash?
It's time to change
It's our last chance
We're standing in the crossroads
And it's all up to us
It has begun:
The countdown
What we don't understand
Is we are all one
Disobey, don't co-operate
With evil...
And understand:
Nothing is what it seems
[Chorus]
[solo: Tolkki]
[Chorus x2]
Weather To Fly (Elbow)
Are we having the time of our lives?
Are we having the time of our lives?
Are we coming across clear?
Are we coming across fine?
Are we part of the plan here?
Are we having the time of our lives?
Are we coming across clear?
Are we coming across fine?
Are we having the time of our lives?
(continued throughout)
We have the drive, some time on our hands
one little room and the biggest of plans
the days we shape look all frosty and bright
Perfect weather to fly
perfect weather to fly
Poundin' the streets where my fathers feet still ring from the walls
and we sing in the doorways and just bickering around
figuring how we're wired inside
perfect weather to fly
so in looking to stray from the line
we decided instead we should pull out the thread that was stitching into this tapestry vial (?)
and why wouldn't you try?
perfect weather to fly
We have the drive, some time on our hands
one little room and the biggest of plans
the days we shape look all frosty and bright
Perfect weather to fly
perfect weather to fly
Poundin' the streets where my fathers feet still ring from the walls
and we sing in the doorways and just bickering around
figuring how we're wired inside
perfect weather to fly
so in looking to stray from the line
we decided instead we should pull out the thread that was stitching into this tapestry vial (?)
and why wouldn't you try?
perfect weather to fly.
