A Thousand Suns: The Full Experience Songtext

The Requiem

God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?
For the sins of our hand
The sins of our tonge
The sins of our fahter
The sins of our young

God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?
For the sins of our hand
The sins of our tonge
The sins of our fahter
The sins of our young

The Radiance


We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people lought, a few people cried.
Most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is tying to presuade 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 dead wood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies
I filled my cup with the rising of the sea
And poured it out in an ocean of debris

Noo
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
But in the end we were meant to be apart
In separate chambers of the human heart


Noo
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
Of 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
What I don't deserve

I used the dead wood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies

Empty Spaces

When They Come For Me

Yeah
I am not a pattern to be followed
The pill that I'm on is a tough one a 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 an the fame
Nor a same person trlling you to forfeit the game
I came in the ring like a dog on a chain
And I found out the underbelly's sicker than it seems
And it seems ugly but it can get worse
′Cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse
'Cause once you got a 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 monkey
I will not dance even if the beat′s funky
Opposite of lazy far from a punk

Ya'll ought to stop talking start trying to catchup motherfucker
And all the people say
Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah
Trying to catch up motherfucker
Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah

Lauryn said money change a situation
Big said it increase the complication
Kane said don't step I ain′t the one
Chuck said you′re losing your motherfucker time
And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me
Rockin′ every stage in every plave that brought me
I'm awfully underrated but came here to correct it
And so it ain′t mistaken I'm a state that for the record
I am the opposite of whack opposite of weak
Opposite of slack synonym of heat
Synonym of crack closest to a peak
Far from a punk

Ya′ll ought to stop talking start trying to catchup motherfucker
And all the people say
Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah
Trying to catch up motherfucker
Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah

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
Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah
Trying to catch up motherfucker
Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah
And all the people say
Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah
Trying to catch up motherfucker
Oh Oh Oh
Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah

Robot Boy

Uh uh uh
Uh uh uh
You say you′re not gonna fight
Cause 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 gonna fight
Cause no one will fight for you

You say the weight of the world
Has kept you from letting go
An you think compassion′sa 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 the strenght 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

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
Though the words sound steady, something empty′s withing 'em
We say yeah
With fists flying up in the air
Like we′re holding onto something that's invisible there
′Cause we're living 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...

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...

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

What was left when that fire was gone
I thought it felt right 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
Picking up the pieces, now where to begin?
The hardest part of ending is starting again.

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
But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm
Though the words sound steady, something empty′s withing 'em
We say yeah
With fists flying up in the air
Like we′re holding onto something that's invisible there
'Cause we′re living 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've 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′ve 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 you're breaking
You run but then back you fall
Suffocate in the mess you′re making
You can′t get enough you take
And take and take and take
Fuck it Are you listening?

No
You've 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've 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

Floating down
As colors fill the light
We look up from the ground
In fields of paperwhite
And floating up
You pass 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 ′Oh...

Wretches And Kings

To save face
How low can you go
Talk a lot of shit but yet you don't know
Static on the way make 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
Want to take what I got don't be absurd
Don′t fight the power and nobody gets hurt
If you haven't heard yet than I'm letting you know
There ain′t shit we don′t run when guns unload
And no one make a move unless my people say so
Got everything under control
Now everybody go

Steel unload, 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 lot of shit and yet you don't know
Fire on the way make you all say whoa
The people up top and the people down low
Get down and I′m running it like that
The front of the attack is exactly where I'm at
Somewhere in between and kicking the hi-hat
The pen and the contract, the pitch and the contact
So get with the combat
I′m letting them know
There ain't shit you can say to make me back down low
So push the button and the whole thing blows
Spinning everything out of control
Now everybody go

Steel unload, final blow
We the animals take control
Hear us now, clear and true
Wretches and kings we come for you!

Steel unload, final blow
Filthy animals beat them blow
Skin and bone, black and blue
No more the sun shall beat onto you

From the front to back
And the side to side
If you feel what I feel
Put them up real high

From the front to back
And the side to side
If you feel what I feel
Put them up real high

Front to back
And the side to side
If you feel what I feel
Put them up real high

Front to back
And the side to side
If you feel what I feel
Put them up real high

Front to back
And the side to side
If you feel what I feel
Put them up real high

Front to back
And the side to side
If you feel what I feel
Put them up real high

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 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 veins of people normally humane.
Of sending men home from the dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged,
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love.
Of sending men home from the dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged,
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love.
Of sending men home from the dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged,
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love.
Of sending men home from the dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged,
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love.
Of sending men home from the dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged,
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love.
Of sending men home from the dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged,
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Iridescent

When you were standing in the wake of devastation
When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
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 failiures 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 failiures 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 failiures 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 failiures all you′ve known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go, let it go.

Fallout

The Catalyst

God bless us every one
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can′t be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can′t be outmatched
It can't be outrun
No

And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light
(God bless us every one / we′re a broken people living under loaded gun)
Oh / like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

God save us every one
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hand
The sins of our tongue
The sins of our father
The sins of our young
No

And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light
(God save us every one / will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns)
Oh / like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

Lift me up
Let me go

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 love
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!

Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhh!
Ohhhhhhh Ohhhhhh!
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhh!
