THE
LYRICS
Shake Down
If I can stand 48 more seconds of this, I'll make it out
alive. Dark water only stains, it won't help to clean our
souls. Tainted by the glow of city nights with no control. You
can't seal the world with a kiss, if it steals your innocence.
It's about time we forego our cleanliness. If I can stand 48
more seconds of this, I'll make it out alive. Fight fire with
more flames, it hurts but not for long. Followed by a string
of more ideas that are proven wrong. You can't carry the world
on your back, while stepping over the cracks. It's about time
we plan for the next attack.
Passionate Power
A chance to start over doesn't come often. A chance to start
from scratch, to take it all back. So much would be so
different this time around. If we put you in a position of
power would you do what's right? Would you fight the fight? I
guess I have only one condition. When they wake up, I don't
want to be remembered. We'll settle for better this time
around. I've learned from my mistakes, and yours and theirs.

The Great Divide
Open my eyes, open them so wide I can see the great divide.
And then I took a deep breath and let it all sink in. Then
another time I can take my time and say my last goodbye. And
then I take a deep breath and let it all sink in. Where can we
go? It's 2 AM. The night will fall. It's bitter cold. I close
my eyes. The night will fall. Turn out the lights, say your
goodnights, tomorrow is another day.
To The Ages
These lines were heard over and over, done many times before.
This night they rang like a bell, like a ring. So true. La,
la, la, la. I know enough to turn you inside out. These lines
were heard over and over, never to be spoken again. I know
enough to turn you inside out.
The Fall Of 1922
To say the name of the dead. I am still watching you. Invade
your majesty. No regrets or apprehension. Invade your privacy.
I don't expect your attention. La, la, la, la, la.
Invade your majesty. No regrets or apprehension. Invade your
privacy. I don't expect your attention. With a swift visit of
the wings of death, the lights went out in Cairo.
Return To '22
Fresh air filled the distant lungs of a king. A sheath of
young and scarred nothing. And what was done has to be
forgotten. And what we know can be changed. All the glory is
cursed like the sun on the poor. What was to be taken isn't
yours anymore. Cut and torn, so long as you could. A skull of
holes hides no mystery no more. What becomes you is well
understood. The final scenes are unknown. And what was done
has to be forgotten. And what we know can be changed. All the
glory is cursed like the sun on the poor. What was to be taken
isn't yours anymore.
Honor A Six
We have no downlink. Start lighting the candles. And there's
no explaining the funny mistakes we make. And I can't help the
children, they've already seen it. The crisis in our hands,
explosions in our homes. Return all the molecules back to
where they're needed. Recover our confidence, put the past
behind us. And I can't help the children, they've already seen
it. The crisis in our hands, explosions in our homes. An empty
sky, beautiful lights. It's time to lie, so just hang on
tight. We have no downlink. Start lighting the candles.
This Is Not A Song
This is not a revolt, it's a revolution. We were hungry. We
were poor. We were sick. We were dying.
