Your shadow I will show you something different I will only stop you drifting so far
People, get down on your knees for the crowd People, get down on your knees for the crowd People, get down on your knees for the crowd
You′re no one I connect a little in disguise I reflect a little in your eyes
People, get down on your knees for the crowd People, get down on your knees for the crowd People, get down on your knees for the crowd
You wake up Set your distances miles apart When you go I′ll be there anyway Your head up Up above where you put your love out of reach But I′m there anyway
If we seek solace in the prisons of the distant past Security in human systems we′re told will always always last Emotions are the sail and blind faith is the mast Without the breath of real freedom we′re getting nowhere fast
If God is dead and an actor plays his part His words of fear will find a place in your heart Without the voice of reason every faith is its own curse Without freedom from the past things can only get worse
Sooner or later just like the world first day Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away Sooner or later just like the world first day Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
History will teach us nothing History will teach us nothing
Our written history is a catalogue of crime The sordid and the powerful, the architects of time The mother of invention, the oppression of the mild The constant fear of scarcity, aggression as its child
Sooner or later Sooner or later Sooner or later Sooner or later
Convince an enemy, convince him that he′s wrong Is to win a bloodless battle where victory is long A simple act of faith In reason over might To blow up his children will only prove him right History will teach us nothing Sooner or later just like the world first day Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away Sooner or later just like the world first day Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
History will teach us nothing History will teach us nothing
Know your human rights Be what you come here for Know your human rights Be what you come here for Know your human rights Be what you come here for Know your human rights Be what you come here for
I wander lonely streets Behind where the old Thames does flow And in every face I meet Reminds me of what I have run from
In every man, in every hand In every kiss, you understand That living is for other men I hope you two will understand
I′ve got to tell you my tale Of how I loved and how I failed I hope you understand
I′ve got to tell you my tale Of how I loved and how I failed I hope you understand These feelings should not be in the man
In every child, in every eye In every sky, above my head I hope that I know So come with me in bed Because it′s you and me, we′re history There ain′t nothing left to say When I will get you alone
Maybe we could find a room Where we could see what we should do Maybe you know it′s true Living with me is like keeping a fool<
In every man, in every hand In every kiss, you understand That living is for other men I hope you know that I am me so come on I′m thinking about history And I′m living for history And I think you know about me Cause I am
And one and one is two But three is company When you′re thinking about the things you do And you′re thinking about the things you do I want to tell you my tale How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail I hope you understand there′s more in a smile than in a hand In every sky, in every kiss There′s something that I might have missed
Why am I going to A place that now belongs to you But you were weak and so was I Let′s pick it up, let′s even try To live today, so why not smile Don′t dream away your life ′Cause it is mine Is that a crime (repeat) this life is mine The bed ain′t made but it′s filled full of hope I′ve got a skin full of dope
History is just beginning It’s like leaves creating a canopy And, woven in the tapestry, my testimony A ceremony of souls, a symphony of sounds of sounds and forms A cacophony – I’ll keep that energy
I’ll keep that energy flowing through the whole range of me So you can focus on the rage in me And my obituary? Well, I’m re-writing it every second, every century Well, I’m re-writing it
Oil dripping on my head Let′s go back to bed Bring you back to me Bring you back to me
Oil dripping on my head Bring you back From the dead From the dead Here′s wishing you were here with me Here′s wishing we could massage History,history I′m witness to what you do Anything that you feel In between,in between You and me Bound at sea Floating on debris Yr so close,close to me Yr so close,close to me
Oil dripping on my head Let′s go back to bed Bring you back Bring you back From the dead From the dead Wishing you were here by me Wishing you were here Let′s massage history All the money′s gone All the money′s gone Funny it was never here It was never here Here′s a song Here′s a song To massage along History along Come with me To the other side Not everyone makes it out alive Come with me To the other side not everyone makes it out Alive I want you to suck my neck...
Solitude brought us together, guidanced by the hand of fate Too blind to see what this alignment would utterly create
Frantic searching for the star I couldn′t find Tainted hearts pound even harder to remind
Our heartbeats synchronized and our souls were entwined Now our crest turns pale, by our tears so well refined Was it jinxed from the start, Was I the scion of my kin Did I cast shadows from my stained within...
WRAITS ARE BAYING AT MY DOOR BUT I′LL KEEP GAZING OFF THE SHORE TRYING TO FIND A BEACON IN MY LIFE BUT IT′S AN EVERLASTING STRIFE I HAVE TO BLAME MYSELF SIENCE HISTORY KEEPS REPEATING ITSELF
Don′t matter what people say I never did believe them I know, I know they know everything I’ll be alright by myself And no one′s gonna tell me I′m defined Confined by love
Now our days seem strange I guess my heart was bound to change
I fell out, out of you and me You′re fading from view And you′re falling into history I fell out, out of you and me You′re fading from view And you′re falling into history
I never thought that I′d say That I don′t really miss you I lived, I breathed your breath through me Time has a way of passing by Until I don′t remember why or how to hurt for you
Love′s pain has gone somewhere And I′m finally hanging it there
I fell out, out of you and me You′re fading from view And you′re falling into history I fell out, out of you and me You′re fading from view And you′re falling into history
Falling into, falling into, you′re falling into history, yeah Falling into, falling into, you′re falling into history
I fell out, out of you and me You′re fading from view And you’re falling into history I fell out, out of you and me You′re fading from view And you′re falling into history
I′ll be alright by myself And no one′s gonna tell me I′m defined Confined by love
He got kicked in the back He say that he needed that He hot willed in the face Keep daring to motivate He say one day you will see His place in world history He dares to be recognized The fire′s deep in his eyes
How many victims must there be Slaughtered in vain across the land And how many struggles must there be Before we choose to live the prophet′s plan Everybody sing...
Every day create your history Every path you take you′re leaving your legacy Every soldier dies in his glory Every legend tells of conquest and liberty
Don′t let no one get you down Keep movin′ on higher ground Keep flying until You are the king of the hill No force of nature can break Your will to self motivate She say this face that you see Is destined for history
How many people have to cry The song of pain and grief across the land And how many children have to die Before we stand to lend a healing hand Everybody sing...
Chorus: Every day create your history Every path you take you′re leaving your legacy Every soldier dies in his glory Every legend tells of conquest and liberty Every day create your history Every page you turn you′re writing your legacy Every hero dreams of chivalry Every child should sing together in harmony
All nations sing Let′s harmonize all around the world
How many victims must there be Slaughtered in vain across the land (Lord we need your assistance) And how many children must we see Before we learn to live as brothers And create one family oh...
Chorus
A soldier dies A mother cries The promised child shines in a baby′s eyes All nations sing Let′s harmonize all around the world
