01 - The Requiem:
(x2):
God save us everyone
Will we burn
Inside the fires of a thousand suns?
For the sins of hand
Sins of our tongue
Sins of our father
Sins of our young.


02 - 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. 


03 - 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 
And poured it out in an ocean of debris 

Oh...

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 
Like separate chambers of the human heart 

No...

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 
What I don't deserve 
I used the deadwood to make the fire rise 
The blood of innocence burning in the skies.


05 - When They Come For Me:
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'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 a 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 catch up motherfucker 
And all the people say 

Lauryn said money change a situation
Big said it increase the complication 
Kane said don't step / I ain't the one 
Chuck said that uzi weigh a motherfuckin' ton 
And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me 
Rockin' every stage in every place that it brought me 
I'm awfully underrated / but came here to correct it 
And so it ain't mistaken I'ma 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 punk 
Ya'll ought to stop talking / start trying to catch up motherfucker 
And all the people say 

Oh / When they come for me
Come for me
I'll be gone.


06 - 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

(x2):
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.


07 - Jornada Del Muerto:
Mochia-a-a-gete, Tokiha-a-a-nashite... (x4)
(on english: Lift me up, Let me go...)


08 - 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 violet rhythm 
Though the words sound steady 
Something empty's within 'em

We say Yeah! 
With fists flying up in the air 
Like we're holding onto something 
Thats invisible there, 
Cuz we're living at the mercy of 
The pain and the fear 
Until we dead it, Forget it, 
Let it all dissapear. 

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 we're spinning in my head 
So many things were left unsaid 
It's hard to let you go...

(Oh!) 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... 

(Oh!) 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've said 
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead 
So, 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 violet rhythm 
Though the words sound steady 
Something empty's within 'em 
(Holding on to what i haven't got) 

We say Yeah! 
With fists flying up in the air 
Like we're holding onto something 
Thats invisible there, 
Coz we're living at the mercy of 
The pain and th fear 
Until we dead it, Forget it, 
Let it all dissapear 
(Holding on to what i haven't got!)


09 - 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 (x2)
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 (x2)
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 (x2)
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 (x5)


10 - 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..." - Mario Savio.

To save face / how low can you go 
Talk a lot of game 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 getting mine 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 letting 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
Feel unload / final blow 
We the animals take control 
Hear us now / clear and true 
Wretches and kings we come for you 

So keep pace / 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 the kick and the hi hat 
The pen and the contract 
The pitch and the contact 
So get with the combat / I'm letting 'em 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 

Feel unload / final blow 
We the animals take control 
Hear us now / clear and true 
Wretches and kings we come for you 
Feel unload / fire blow 
Filthy animals / beat them low 
Skin and bone / black and blue 
No more this sun shall beat onto you 

From the front to the back and the side to side 
If you fear what I feel put 'em up real high.


11 - 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. (x6)

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.


12 - 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 hope, but failure's 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 their arms.

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

Let it go (x4)

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


13 - Fallout:
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.


14 - The Catalyst:
(x2):
God bless us everyone
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 outwon
No!

And when I close my eyes tonight
Two symphonies of blinding light

God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
No... oh...

Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky.

(x2):
God save us everyone,
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 everyone,
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?
Oh)

(x2):
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... (x10)
...God bless us everyone
...We're a broken people living under loaded gun
...And it can't be outfought
...Can't be outdone.
...Lift me up... Let me go... (x2)
God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought
Can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outwon
No...

...Lift me up... Let me go... (x2)
God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfoght
Can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun.


15 - 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 sing to you they'll be your guide back home 

When life leaves us blind 
Love keeps us kind 
It keeps us kind 

When you've suffered enough, and your spirit is breaking 
You're growing desperate from the fight 

Remember you're loved, and you always will be 

This melody will bring you right back home 

(x2):
When life leaves us blind 
Love keeps us kind 

O-o-oh!
