Doomsday Clock lyrics

is everyone afraid?
is everyone ashamed?
they're running towards their holes, to find out
apocalyptic means are lost among 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?


7 Shades of Black

i'm on the street yeah
i want you
i'm looking for myself

i'm gonna make it
i'll take it
like everybody else

belle of the fawning
i'm yawning
sister can't you spell

above suspicion
hey listen!
i'm digging my own hell

'cause I want you bad
'cause I want you bad

and without peer
and without fear
i'm without anyone at all
i'm torn apart, decrying
how unjust you are
for bursting
my black heart

'cause you don't want me no more
but just you worry
'cause when they scratch-scratch my door
you'll hurry
ah 1, 2, 3

this gun is loaded, devoted
you postulate the rest

riding the seesaw
there's no law
that I have ever met

i'm just a flat punk
on dead junk
riding a vanguard

cut from the vaunted
i'm haunted, till death do us part

'cause I want you bad
'cause I want you bad

fall in hate with me
with one trick
you will want it all
the yeah-yeah tears
the now and here
the without anyone at all
i'm torn without
i'm crying out for doom

'cause you don't want me no more
but babe don't worry
'cause when you scratch-scratch my door
i'll show you, either or ?

we are the lurking
the panzers
the black as coal as night

stealing what stealthy
and stellar
until we get it right

notice the yearlings
the dead things
the pretty as you please

i am the regent, the marquis
sowing my bad seeds

'cause I want you bad
'cause I want you bad

fall in hate with me
with one trick
you will want it all
as St. Patrick pipes on!


Bleeding the Orchid

if 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 die 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


That's The Way (My Love Is)

they say that life ain't easy
they'll say your life's a crime
destroy up all good reason
how i'm alive

they'll say that nothing matters
not even your will to survive
of course i

love you baby
'cause i'm alive
yes, i'm alive

whenever i call you out
whenever i draw you round
whenever is here and now
that's the way

my love is
that's the way i care
you should call on me

baby
i'm always there for you
yeah, i'm always there for you

they'll say you'll lose your nerve soon
to claim identity
disgrace our sacred promise
with no belief
oh, how i believe in you

that's the way my

love is, for you
that's the way my

love is, for you!

i feel a coming age now
i feel a dawn in me
a certain sun keeps rising
on my belief in you

that's the way my love is
that's the way i care
you should call on me baby
'cause i'm always there for you

that's the way my love is
that's the way i care
you should call on me baby
'cause i'm always there for you
yeah, i'm always there for you


Tarantula

I dont want to fight, every single night
Everything I want is in your lies
You and me go back, to places I don't know to care
The spoils of all I got were left as scraps
Don't let me say this, but you're no worse than me, too crazy

The unreal, real never was, just because
The ugly, feel we've had enough
The unbelief, someone gave us up

I wanna be there when you're happy
I wanna 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
Close your eyes you'll see, the angel dies

I don't wanna be, anything believes
A million watts of sound can't compare
Come along you'll see the world

home
Oh is the White House all they want?
I'll sing for…

The unreal, real never was, just because
The ugly, every living soul
The oh so real, someone gave us up

Don't break the oath
I wanna love you when you're happy
Don't break the soul
I wanna be there when you're sad
Withstand the pouring rain

The unreal, as real as any loss, too easy now
The unreal in every living soul
Dumb day now

Can't stand the blazing sun
Can't stand the morning rain
Ah get out I'll take your place … again
I don't wanna be alone
I don't wanna be alone
I dont wanna be alone - no

If its the White House all they want,
Black house they'll get


Starz

born 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

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?

revolution!
revolution!
revolution blues
what will they do?
revolution!
revolution!
what will they do to me?

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

revolution!
revolution!
revolution blues
what will they do?
revolution!
revolution!
what will they do to you?

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!

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

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?

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


Neverlost

all hands on deck
setting sail to get wrecked off course
you make what you want of me
i will keep you anyway

let's fill these hours and kill desire
let's fill these hours and kill desire
i'm in touch with you
let's kill these hours and fill desire

every turn is torture thought
every kicking of the drum

i've seen the film
i know the place
i'm never lost
there's just one way across

i'm never lost

headlights shoot north
the ends of earth off course
of course

if you think just right
if you'll love you'll find
certain truths left behind

all this is that once forgot
a closing down of the gate

but oh these hours
i lost my place
i'm never lost
there's just one way

there's no disgrace in failing me
let's kill these hours and fill desire
i'm in touch with you
let's kill these hours and fill desire
i'm in touch with you
i'm in touch with you


Bring the Light

shot down i stood
withstood my neighborhood
i got it wrong
but i could
follow love lest i learn
it's light
to bring the light
i fought with all my might, with light
oh bring the light

light, bring the light i never felt so good and right but tonight you'll never
need another sound
oh, bring the light
bring the light to me

here and gone oh i trust
you'd spit upon my dust
and mix my ash with your blood
a son of God you know you must arrive
in the light
bring the light, let's bring the light
light, oh bring the light

light, bring the light
it's yours not mine
if you just want to survive
go grab a glimpse of any star in heaven's high
i never felt so real and loved and alive
no shadows follow me unsung
in the light, bring the light to me

a flower song, clear and bright
is it wrong, in neon white?
to insist you are mine
standing dumb in the light
bring the light
oh, bring the light
bring the light!

light, bring the light
i never felt so real and right and alive
don't let them steal from you what's yours by right
light, bring the light
you know there comes a place and time
you can't deny
with every movement shadows cast and align

bring the light, bring the light
bring the light let's bring the light
light, bring the light


(Come On) Let's Go!

c'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


For God and Country

i want to live for God and country
i want to give for God and country

it's too late for some
it's too late for what you've done
i can't help what i divide in you

for God and country i'll fight
for God and country i'll die
for God and country my soul is so alive
my soul is so alive
lay down your arms to me
lay down your arms for God and country

i want to live where no one's watching my way home
i want to give until i'm bursting with unknown

it's too late for some
it's too late for everyone
i can't help what i destroy in you

well who needs this anymore?
c'mon make it so
that's when they build their cross of death
you won't build your own

it's time to wake up!
it's time to wake up for good
i can't help you though i should

for God and country we'll fight
for God and country we'll die
for God and country my soul is so alive
my soul is so alive
lay down your arms to me
lay down your arms for God and country

you can't deny God and country
we're fighting for our lives
you can't deny God and country
our souls are so aligned
in this time of God and country
we'll take you on our side
it's alright

my soul is so alive
with God and night
with God and country
my soul is so alive


Pomp and Circumstances

when 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
