Cannonball


GO!

Yeah
This clock is counting down
To a final resignation
Another crowning curtain call
A global melt down
Leaves a trail of devastation
It carves the writing on the wall - oh you know

We’ve never seen this kind of world
It’s a warning to us all
We’ve never seen this kind of world
And I hope that we can stop this cannonball
Stop this cannonball

We play the lead role
With a lack of education
And pay a price we’ll never know
Our future’s been sold
By a profit margin generation
We’re all invited to the show - oh you know

We’ve never seen this kind of world
It’s a warning to us all
We’ve never seen this kind of world
It’s a warning to us all
We’ve never seen this kind of world
And I hope that we can stop this cannonball
Stop this cannonball

Cuz when it all comes crashing down -
Down from above there will be no salvation
Is there anything that can save us - from ourselves

Oh…

We’ve never seen this kind of world
It’s a warning to us all
No, we’ve never seen this kind of world
It’s a warning to us all
Oh, we’ve never seen this - we’ve never seen this - kind of world
Oh, we’ve never seen this - we’ve never seen this
And I hope that we can stop this cannonball
Stop this cannonball

Oh!

Terrified


Here in this town, safe and guarded
We call it home, a feeling that we share
Now leave this place, clinging to hope
In this midnight prayer
If we hold our breath, float beyond this
We'll be reborn, I will carry us home

Are you still alive? Are you scared inside?
Providence is blind when you're terrified
Are you still alive? Are you scared inside?
When we've reached the end of the road
I will carry us home

Oh no, if all our sin was only a hope
And meaningless and true
Now will I expire holding the world
In safety for you
If we make it through and I can save you
With this heart I know, I will carry us home

Are you still alive? Are you scared inside?
Providence is blind when you're terrified
Are you still alive? Are you scared inside?
When we've reached the end of the road (Reached the end of the road)
I will carry us home

And now I'm so far away from you
Will I be making any difference after leaving you all alone?
And now I'm so far away from home
Can I justify my actions after leaving you here in this town?
Safe and guarded, we call it home
A feeling that we shared

Are you still alive? Are you scared inside?
Providence is blind when you're terrified
Are you still alive? If you're scared inside (I will carry you home)
I will carry us home
Are you still alive? Are you scared inside?
Providence is blind when you're terrified
Are you still alive? Are you scared inside?
When we've reached the end of the road (Reached the end of the road)
When we've reached the end of the road (Reached the end of the road)
I will carry us home
Carry us home

Pale Blue Dot (Interlude)


[Speech]

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena.
On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of,
every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.
Thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines,
every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every hero and coward,
every creator and destroyer of civilization,
every saint and sinner in the history of our species,
think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that,
in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance,
the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe,
are challenged by this point of pale light,
and underscores our responsibility and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot.

Welcome To Our New War


We fall to our knees raise our hands toward the sky
Bow to the powerful without asking why we fill our glass with -
A false sense of pride the ruling class has forced us all to demand what they supply

Welcome to our new war
Where the rich sell their lies to the poor
We’re dying but we don’t know what for
Welcome to our new war

In a troubled time - in an age of fear
We place our trust - in the insincere
As the waiting minds - are misinformed
The ones in charge - are just adding to the score

The war profiteers watch as their numbers rise
Their private contracts push profits through the sky the rest will struggle -
Just to survive while special interest goes to those with the highest dollar sign

Welcome to our new war
Where the rich sell their lies to the poor
We’re dying but we don’t know what for
Welcome to our new war
Welcome to our new war
Welcome to our new war

Is this the price that we pay -
For living with our -
Eyes closed and backs against the wall at the top of the hill -
Where the powerful thrive there’s a strong disregard -
For this human life when the winds start to change
And the meek crowd the floor the sirens will sound
And at last they will scream no more no more
At last they will scream no more - no more - no more - no more - no more

No!

The power elites wear the thickest disguise
Setting the rules as the classes divide they keep their heartless -
Eyes on the prize and leave the masses with a lifetime of poverty and crime

Welcome to our new war
Where the rich sell their lies to the poor
We’re dying but we don’t know what for
Welcome to our new war

Welcome to our new war
Where the rich sell their lies to the poor
We’re dying but we don’t know what for
Welcome to our new war
To our new war
War!

The Truth Shall Set Me Free


I..WILL...I...WILL

I will fight this force
This force thats pressing downward
And i will break these chains
That blind me from myself so i walk the same
And i will walk this path
Without your false direction
And i will find myself
And tear open these eyes so now i can see

The truth shall set me free

[Chorus:]
When the sun is gone
And the rain starts to fall
I will be the one
I will rise through it all

And i will take this chance
To break from your tradition
And i will burn those words
And burn all that you said
And I'll finally face this day
When my eyes open wide
And i will refrain your lies
Tear of this disguise
So i walk the same

The truth shall set me free

When the sun is gone
And the rain starts to fall
I will be the one
I will rise through it all
When the sun is gone
And the rain starts to fall
I will be the one
I will rise, rise up through it all

Rise through it all!
Rise through it all!
Alright!

And i will be the one to rise up through ALL!

The truth shall set me free
The truth shall set me free
The truth shall set me free NOW!

I will not, I will rise
Through this i will rise [x4]
Through this i will rise
The truth shall set me free

When the sun is gone
And the rain starts to fall
I will be the one
I will rise thorough it all [x2]

Rise through it all! [x4]

Never Let It Go


Here we go!!

I wont let go...
Of the days when songs were made of gold
Regret to break the mold
When I live and breathe every line in every note.

Cause those words, gave me strength when I wasn't strong enough to make it on my own.

Who would have ever though that six strings would have the means to strike this chord.

I still believe this ordinary life can make it through...
Cause nothing else has ever felt so true.

Let the music take control!
That sound is beautiful
And I'll never let it go (never let it go)
No i'll never let it go

Cause to this day it means everything to carry on the torch
Ignite a flame inside us all (inside us all)
Cause these words give me hope when it all seems impossible to face the world alone

And I will always have this feeling as a means to rise above...

I still believe this ordinary life can make it through...
Cause nothing else has ever felt so true.

Let the music take control!
That sound is beautiful
And I'll never let it go (never let it go)
No i'll never let it go
Let the music take control!
That sound is beautiful
And I'll never let it go (never let it go)
No i'll never let it go

Cause when all is said and done this song will carry on when we are all dead and gone
Cause this ordinary note is everything we know and we should never let it go..

No!

Woah No...

Let the music take control!
That sound is beautiful
And I'll never let it go (never let it go)
No i'll never let it go
Let the music take control!
That sound is beautiful
And I'll never let it go (never let it go)
No i'll never let it go...

No...
Never let it go!
No.

We Don't Care Anymore


Underneath the gun in front of waiting eyes
Our time has just begun no second chance tonight

So we walk the longest days to live inside the shortest nights
We compromise our hearts to keep them satisfied
The shadows of our past, hard to ignore but judgment means nothing that's not what we're fighting for

We don't care anymore
We don't care anymore
We don't care anymore
We don't care anymore

Underneath the gun in front of doubting eyes
We walk this path as one take on the world tonight
And we'll carve our names into their bones
We'll never sell ourselves that's not what we're fighting for

We don't care anymore
We don't care anymore
We don't care anymore
We don't care anymore

I won't let this love, I won't let this love die, I won't let it die
There is only one thing that matters this time
At the hands of judgment I won't let it die, no sacrifice, regrets left behind, I won't let it die

This time, yeah, this time I won't let it die, that's not what we're fighting for
We don't care anymore
We don't care anymore
We don't care anymore
We don't care anymore
We don't care anymore
No we don't care anymore
We don't care anymore
We don't care anymore

I won't let this love, I won't let this love die

Take Me Back


Do you still remember back when days were longer, dreams were bigger then
The weight of the world had not yet landed on the shoulders of a man
(I THOUGHT) I thought that time stood still, sheltered, protected
They never told me this would end or that the leaves would fall again

So take me back, back to better days
Cause this time between is wasting me away
Take me back, when we were not afraid
Cause this time between is wasting me away

There was a day when this world went to war and didn't bat an eye
Real life in the movies felt the same to me and I never questioned why
(I KNOW) I know the difference now, between fact and fiction
But I've come to find that I've grown bitter in just 24 short years

So take me back, back to better days
Cause this time between is wasting me away
So take me back, when we were not afraid
Cause this time between is wasting me away

Wasting me away, Waste away
So now we're running, we're running blind into the light
And we fall behind
We're running and wasting away with time

So take me back, back to better days
Cause this time between is wasting me away
Take me back, when we were not afraid
Cause this time between is wasting me away
Take me back, yeah back to better days
Cause this time between is wasting me away
Take me back, when we were not afraid
Cause this time between is wasting me away

Yeah take me back, just take me back, yeah take me back
(Take me back)
Yeah take me back, just take me back, yeah take me back
(Take me back)
When we were not afraid

Our Time Is Now


Today will be the day to start rising up and fighting back
And from this moment on we will live our lives
With open hearts and open eyes

Just keep pushing forward
We take control, we take control
Keep fighting onward
We take control, we take control
Keep pushing forward
We take control, we take control
And we will never step down

We won't fall or hesitate and from this rotting life we disengage
Can we strive to break away and stop wasting time on these insecurities?

Just keep pushing forward
We take control, we take control
Keep fighting onward
We take control, we take control
Keep pushing forward
We take control, we take control
And we will never step down

Our time is now, our time is now, our time is now
We won't step down, no we won't step down
No we won't step down, no we won't step down
We won't step down
Because our world is waiting for us to live
Because our world is waiting for us to live

So right now just keep pushing forward
We take control, we take control
Keep fighting onward
We take control, we take control
Just keep pushing forward
We take control, we take control
Keep fighting onward
We take control, we take control
And we'll never step down

Our time is now, our time is now, yeah

Taste The Poison


It's the same old story
I've seen it all too many times
It's the fall from glory
that makes you feel...

Place your needle to the record, stab it down
it feels good to be the one to break the skin
so look at me now, look at me now, yeah
you're face down, tell yourself you're happy once again
right now you need this more than anything
but it's never enough, it's never enough for you

And it's the same old story
I've seen it all too many times
It's the fall from glory
that makes you feel alive

And you know the hardest truth can flow like water now
break down, the moment that it touches your mouth
So place your lips against the bottle, take it down
it feels good to lose control of everything
but I wasn't myself, I wasn't myself, she said

And it's the same old story
I've seen it all too many times
it's the fall from glory
that makes you feel alive

It's the same old story
I've seen it all too many times
but it's not what you wanted

Can anyone feel? can anyone see?
Yeah, can anyone taste the poison we need?
that we need...

So place your needle to the record, stab it down
it feels good to be the one to break the skin now
you're face down, this is what you wanted
this is what you wanted, this is what you wanted
and I know, but we've lost control...
Here we go!

Yeah, can anyone feel? Can anyone see?
Yeah, can anyone taste the poison we need?
Yeah, can anyone feel? Can anyone see?
Yeah, can anyone taste the poison we need?
that we need, that we need, yeah, that we need
