THE REQUIEM

God save us, everyoneWill we burn inside the fires of a thousand sunsFor the sins of our hand, sins of our tongueThe sins of our father, the sins o f our young?

God save us, everyoneWill we burn inside the fires of a thousand sunsFor the sins of our hand, sins of our tongueThe sins of our father, the sins o f our young?

THE RADIANCE

We knew the world would not be the same. A fewpeople laughed, a few people cried, most people weresilent. I remember the line from the Hindu scripture, theBhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuadethe 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 weall thought that, one way or another. (Oppenheimer)

BURNING IN THE SKIES

I used the dead wood to make the fire riseThe blood of innocents burning in the skiesI filled my cup with the rising of the sea

And poured it out in an ocean of debrisOh

I m swimming in the smokeOf bridges I have burned

So don t apologizeI m losing what I don t deserveWhat I don t deserve

We held our breath when the clouds began to fallBut you were lost in the beating of the storm But in the end, we were made to be apart

Like separate chambers of the human heart No

I m swimming in the smokeOf bridges I have burnedSo don t apologizeI m losing what I don t deserveIt s in the blackened bonesOf bridges I have burnedSo don t apologizeI m losing what I don t deserveWhat I don t deserve

The blame is mine aloneFor bridges I have burnedSo don t apologizeI m losing what I don t deserveWhat I don t deserve

I used the dead wood to make the fire riseThe blood of innocents burning in the skies

WHEN THEY COME FOR ME

YeahI am not a pattern to be followedThe pill that I m onIs a tough one to swallowI m not a criminalNot a role modelNot a born leaderI m a tough act to follow

I am not a fortunate of fameOn the same verse I m telling you to forfeit the gameI came in the ring like a dog on a chain

And I found out the underbelly is sicker than it seems And it seems ugly, but it can get worseCos even the blueprint is a gift and a curseCos once you have the theory on how the thing worksEverybody wants the next thing to be just like the first

And I m not a robot


2/6

I m not a monkeyI will not dance even if the beat s funkyOpposite of lazy, far from a punk Stop talking and start trying to catch up mother fucker

And all the people say Aaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaahaaaaaaah

Trying to catch up mother fucker Aaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaahaaaaaaah

Puck said money changes si tuationsBig said increases the complicationKane said don t step, I ain t the oneChuck said an uzi weigh a mother fucking tone

And I m just a student of the game that they taught meRocking every stage and every place that they brought meI m awfully underrated, but pay me to correct it

And so it ain't mistaken I'm gonna state it for the recordI am the opposite of whack Opposite of weak Opposite of slack Standing in the heat Standing in a crack Closest to a beat, far from a punk Stop talking and start trying to catch up mother fucker



Oh when they come for meCome for meI ll be gone

ROBOT BOY

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 loseSo, you say you re not gonna fight 'Cause no one will fight for you

You say the weight of the worldHas 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 wayThat no one will ever knowBut someday the weight of the worldWill give you the strength to go

Hold on, the weight of the worldWill give you the strength to goSo hold on, the weight of the worldWill give you the strength to goSo hold on, the weight of the worldWill give you the strength to goJust hold on, the weight of the worldWill give you the strength to go

WAITING FOR THE END

This is not the end, this is not the beginningJust a voice like a riot rocking every revision

But you listen to the tone and to the violent rhythm But though the words sound steady, something empty swithin em We say yeah! With fists flying up in the airLike we re holding on to something that s invisible thereCuz we re living at the mercy of the pain and the fearUntil we dead it, forget it, let it all disappear

Waiting for the end to comeWishing I had strength to stand


3/6

This is not what I had plannedIt s out of my control

Flying at the speed of light Thoughts were spinning in my headSo many things were left unsaidIt s hard to let you go

I know what it takes to move onI know how it feels to lie

All I wanna do is trade this lifeFor something newHolding 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 onI know how it feels to lie


What was left when the fire was gone?I thought it felt right but that right was wrong

All caught up in the eye of the storm And I m trying to figure out what it s like moving on And I don t even know what kind of things I ve saidMy mouth kept moving and my mind went deadSo I m picking up the pieces now, where to beginThe hardest part of ending is starting again


This is not the end, this is not the beginningJust a voice like a riot rocking every revisionBut you listen to the tone and to the violent rhythm But though the words sound steady, something empty swithin em We say yeah! With fists flying up in the airLike we re holding on to something that s invisible thereCuz 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 in this sinking feeling

I saw through the words you saidTo the secrets you've been keepingIt's written upon your face

All the lies and they cut so deeply You can't get enough You take and take and take And never say no

You got to get out of sight You push it back down You push it back downNo

You'll never get out of sight You push it back downBlackout Blood in your eye

You say that it's not your fault And said that I am mistaken You said it's not what it seemsNo remorse for the trust you re breaking

You run to the back you fallSuffocate in the mess you re making

You can't get enough You take and take and take and take and takeFuck it are you listening

No You got to get out of sight You push it back down You push it back downNo

You'll never get out of sight You push it back down You push it back downNo

You got to get out of sight You push it back down You push it back downNo

You'll never get out of sight You push it back downBlackout Blood in your eye

Blackout Blood in your eye

You push it back down You push it back downBlood in your eyeBlackout Blood in your eyeBlackout Blood in your eyeBlackout Blood in your eyeBlackout


4/6

Blood in your eye

Floating out as colors fill the light We look up from the ground in fields of painted white

And floating up you pass us in the night The future gazing out a past to overwrite

So come down far belowWe've been waiting to correct the things you knowCome down far belowWe've been waiting to correct what you've let go

Come down lowCome down lowCome down lowCome down lowCome down low

WRETCHES AND KINGS

There s a time when the operation of the machinebecomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that youcan t take part; you can t even passively take part, andyou ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and uponthe wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, andyou ve got to make it stop.

To save face / how low can you goTalk a lot of game but yet you don t knowStatic on the way / make us all say whoaThe people up top push the people down lowGet down

And obey every wordSteady getting mine if you haven t yet heardWanna take what I got / don t be absurdDon t fight the power / nobody gets hurt If you haven t heard yet then I mletting you knowThere ain t shit we don t run when the guns unload

And no one m ake a move unless m y people say soGot everything outta controlNow everybody go

Steel unload / final blowWe the ani mals take controlHear us now / clear and trueWretches and kings we co me for you

So keep pace / how slow can you goTalk a lot of shit and yet you don t knowFire on the way / make you all say whoaThe people up top and the people down lowGet down

And I mrunning it like that The front of the attack is exactly where I mat Somewhere in between the kick and the hi hat The pen and the contract

The pitch and the contact So get with the co mbat / I m letting em knowThere ain t shit you can say to make me back down noSo / push the button let the whole thing blowSpinning everything outta controlNow everybody go

Steel unload / final blowWe the ani mals take controlHear us now / clear and trueWretches and kings we co me for youSteel unload / fire blowFilthy ani mals / beat the m lowSkin and bone / black and blueNo more this sun shall beat onto you

From the front to the back and the side to sideIf you fear what I feel put e m up real high

There s a ti me when the operation of the machinebeco mes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that youcan t take part; you can t even passively take part, andyou ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and uponthe wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, andyou ve got to make it stop. And you ve got to indicate tothe people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you re free, the machine will be prevented fro m working at all.

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 worldorder and say of war: "This way of settling differences isnot just." This business of burning hu man beings withnapal m, of filling our nation's ho mes with orphans andwidows , of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into veinsof people nor mally hu mane , of sending men ho me fro m dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped andpsychologically deranged , cannot be reconciled withwisdo m, justice and love. ( Beyond Vietna m : A Ti me toBreak Silence By Rev. Martin Luther King - 4 April 1967)

IRIDESCENT

When you were standing in the wake of devastationWhen you were waiting on the edge of the unknown

And with the cataclys m raining downInsides crying Save me now

You were there , imp ossibly alone

Do you feel cold and lost in des peration? You build u p ho pe, but failure s all you ve known


5/6

Remember all the sadness and frustration And let it go. Let it go

And in a burst of light that blinded every angel As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars You felt the gravity of te mp ered graceFalling into e mp ty s pace

No one there to catch you in their ar ms

Do you feel cold and lost in des peration? You build u p hope, but failure s all you ve knownRemember all the sadness and frustration

And let it go. Let it go



Let it goLet it goLet it goLet it go



FALLOUT

I m swimm ing in the s mokeOf bridges I have burnedSo don t a pologizeI m losing what I don t deserve

The bla me is m ine aloneFor bridges I have burnedSo don t a pologizeI m losing what I don t deserveWhat I don t deserve
