Numbers Songtext

Tripping the world imperial
(Look inside her)
Leaving the world material
(You can′t hide her)
Tripping the world imperial
(Look inside her)
Leaving the world material
(You can't hide her)

Look
At the riverbanks
She′s looking
Behind you
The black clouds
They fall hard and heavy
As Eden
Astounds you

So hail to those who give their lives
Who don't stand back when evil rises
It's not a matter of king or country


So you think it is over
Do you think it is really over?

Look up that skyline
There′s a bad moon rising
You may not like it
But that′s the lizard you're riding

Smiles and suits on TV news, they feed us all
But she′s the greatest of liars
The stupid bird, who dares to speak the naked truth
Soon lies flat, on the wire

So hail to those who give their lives
Who don't stand back when evil rises
It′s not a matter of king or country

So you think it is over
Do you think it is really over?

Look up that skyline
There's a bad moon rising
You may not like it
But that′s the lizard you're riding
The lizard you're riding


We′re all just the same old sinner
Fighting for a piece of nothing
Same mistakes goes ′round again (same stupid men)
Covering up his bloody trail
Cain, he came back emptyhanded
With no father's blessing and no holy grail

Look around you
Take it in before your day is done
When I found you
I was cold and all my loving gone
Life inside you
Like a spiral sending lifelines from the ground
When I found her
She was cold, still in her wedding gown

Look inside her
And now she′s gone, so bring the darkness down
Oh, bring the darkness down
She brought the darkness down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down

Tripping the world imperial
Leaving the world material
Tripping the world imperial
Leaving the world material

Trees surround you
They say the body is the garden of the soul
Lights will blind you
And all these roads, they say they lead to Rome
Eyes have found her
But you say you're better off alone
Plead forgiveness, for a soul that′s bad beyond the bone

There's truth in numbers
There′s truth in scales
There's truth in science
And truth in sales

And when the sweetness
Comes to an end
You try to bargain
To live again

There's truth in progress
There′s truth in fame
There′s truth in healing
And the truth remains

And when the sweetness
Comes to an end
You try to bargain
To live again

You look around for the brightest minds
Or just a few simple words of kindness
A world gone shallow, cold, and mean
It's like a wasteland, void of dreams
Hoping and praying that we′ll find our way back home

There's truth in progress
There′s truth in fame
There's truth in healing
And the truth remains

And when the sweetness
Comes to an end
You try to bargain
To live again

You look around for the brightest minds
Or just a few simple words of kindness
Hoping and praying that we′ll find our way back home
That we'll find our way back home
We'll find our way back home

And then the numbers may not come up right
And the artifacts are more than frightening
Between the Bible and eternal question
There′s an ocean of fear and we′re sinking faster

And then the numbers may not come up right
And the artifacts are more than frightening
Between the Bible and eternal question
There's an ocean of fear and we′re sinking faster

Look up that skyline
There's a bad moon rising
You may not like it
But that′s the lizard you're riding

Look up that skyline
There′s a bad moon rising
You may not like it
But that's the lizard you're riding

Look up that skyline
There′s a bad moon rising
You may not like it
But that′s the lizard you're riding
That′s the lizard you're riding
