Black Swan

's no compromising words or criticising
They'll only hear the battle cry

From the silence hear the voices
Shake the world
Stand together, we'll be stronger
Shake the world
Strike all of the pain, strike all of the hurt
You feel the thunder pull you under
Shake the world
Shake the world, right now!

There is time, use it wisely
Three words, use them carefully
There are people in your life
Which one would you sacrifice
Either way it all comes down to your choice

Never let them take you
Never let them break you
Never let them put you down
There's no compromising words or criticising
They'll only hear the battle cry

From the silence hear the voices
Shake the world
Stand together, we'll be stronger
Shake the world
Strike all of the pain, strike all of the hurt
You feel the thunder pull you under
Shake the world
Shake the world, right now!

You, you are the knife
That cuts me to the core
The melting steel has brought to life
And I, I am the sword
I will defend your rights
The spirit is forever the last word

From the silence hear the voices
Shake the world
Stand together, we'll be stronger
Shake the world
Strike all of the pain, strike all of the hurt
You feel the thunder pull you under
Shake the world
Shake the world, right now!
Right now!
Right now!

2. "Big Disaster"

You're so full of it
I can't believe I still put up with it
Are you think I'm full of it
Maybe you're right 'cause I'm fed up with it
But I need to see the sun rise
Everyday another compromise
You need to carry your cross
Your hammer, your nails, this ship's about to sail

You think I'm crazy
But I'm not the one who's lost his mind

The hurricane you're after leads to a big disaster
Your clouds are full of rain again and again and again and again
Your life is moving faster and time is still your master
No pleasure without pain, we do it again and again and again

Let's make the most of it
One stray bullet, it could destroy it
And then I'd be over it
No if's or but's, don't feed me no bullshit
I need to see the sun rise
I feel so stupid and that's no lie
I've got my own cross
My hands, my feet, my soul's not yours to keep

You think I'm crazy
But I'm not the one who's lost his mind

The hurricane you're after leads to a big disaster
Your clouds are full of rain again and again and again and again
Your life is moving faster and time is still your master
No pleasure without pain, we do it again and again and again

Tell me why
What a strange kind of situation
Why oh why
Do we find ourselves in a big disaster

The hurricane you're after leads to a big disaster
Your clouds are full of rain again...

The hurricane you're after leads to a big disaster
Your clouds are full of rain again and again and again and again
Your life is moving faster and time is still your master
No pleasure without pain again and again and again and again
Again!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah...
Again!

3. "Johnny Came Marching"

Oh oh

When johnny came marchin' home
Tired from all the fighting
All he wanted was his old life back
Far from the thunder and lightening
What he saw made him angry
Filled him up with hate
So he grabbed his guns and ammunition
The rest just sealed their fate

You never know how your day will go
The song you sing the love that you bring
The empty shell...
From the bullet that came straight outta hell

When johnny came marchin' home
(He knew that he was)
Never gonna' be the same
(Ya know ya know that)
Someone has to take the blame
(Just look what he did)
When johnny came marchin' home

When everything you love is gone
Feel empty and alone
The only place you want to be is in the arms of your luvin' son
The pain just turns to anger starts rippin' you apart
But ya know that you just can't become
Another johnny with a loaded gun

You never know how your day will go
The song you sing the love that you bring
The empty shell...
From the bullet that came straight outta hell

When johnny came marchin' home
(He knew that he was)
Never gonna' be the same
(Ya know ya know that)
Someone has to take the blame
(Just look what he did)
When johnny came marchin' home

(Johnny got a gun, johnny got a gun
Everybody run he gonna shoot you down)
Oh ya know he's got a gun
He gonna shoot you down, shoot you down

(Johnny got a gun, johnny got a gun
Everybody run he gonna shoot you down)
He gonna shoot you, shoot you down, shoot you down
Johnny got a gun, johnny got a gun
He gonna shoot you down, shoot you down, shoot you down

When johnny comes marchin' home
When johnny comes marchin' home

4. "Immortal Souls"

Howling like a wolf I race to meet the dawn
The sunlight melts my very skin as I call my children home
This curse is my damnation this hell to which I'm doomed
The moon is my salvation together we'll be rising soon

I need to feel the light on my face
A thousand years of darkness

Leah, I said Leah I can't wait
To kiss you on the lips
No more forever miss
I miss, I miss your kiss
I said Leah sure as the moon will rise
Compelled look in my eyes
This immortal paradise
You and I will forever be free again
To live on, we are immortal souls
Immortal souls

Tonight we'll be together eat and drink or fill
Overcome with passion impatient for the kill
My soul is lost forever and cannot be redeemed
So waken from your slumber invite me in to rise again

I feel your heart beginning to race
My power leaves you breathless

Leah, I said Leah I can't wait
To kiss you on the lips
No more forever miss
I miss, I miss your kiss
I said Leah sure as the moon will rise
Compelled look in my eyes
This immortal paradise
You and I will forever be free again
Free again to be immortal souls

Fly away don't be like me
Save your soul from this eternity

I need to feel the light on my face
My power leaves you breathless

Leah, I said Leah I can't wait
To kiss you on the lips
No more forever miss
I miss, I miss your kiss
I said Leah sure as the moon will rise
Compelled look in my eyes
This immortal paradise
You and I will forever be free again
Free again to return
You and I will be immortal souls
Immortal souls
Immortal

Forever we will be
Immortal souls
Immortal souls
Forever we will be immortal souls

5. "Make It There"

How many times have you heard the story
Rolled your eyes at me and said
I know all of the parts yeah
Specially the one about my broken heart
How many times have you said you're sorry
Bought me a car and apologized
Flew me to New York on my birthday
When I laughed so much that I almost died

So why don't you answer all joking aside
What could it be that you're trying to hide

Cos I don't know where this is going
And I don't know if you really care
But this road we're on is narrow and broken
And I don't know if my heart can make it there

I could just whisper or I could just sing
I could just sit here and do absolutely nothing
But that's not who I am that's not what I do
My future plans have always included you
It's mind over matter and what matters is this
My world has been shattered and I'm falling to pieces
It's a head on collision it's a meteor storm
Just right down impossible to let go or to you carry-on

No more conversation and no sleepless nights
I should've known better should've done what is so right

Cos I don't know where this is going
And I don't know if you really care
But this road we're on is narrow and broken
And I'm not sure if my heart can make it there

Take all the pieces of this broken glass
There's still one piece missing that sets us apart
Can't put it back together it's all jagged and torn
The old for the new it's time to move on

I don't know where this is going
And I don't know if you really care
But this road we're on is narrow and broken
And I don't know if my heart can make it
I don't know if my heart can make it there

Make it there
Yeah I don't know
If I'll make it there
Oh I don't know
(I don't know if my heart can make it)
If I'll make it there
(I don't know if my heart will break)
If I'll make it there
(I don't know if my heart can make it there)
Yeah I don't know if my heart can make it there
...

6. "She's On To Us"

She's such a spy don't try to deceive her
She'll only make you cry little boy don't ever tease her
She's undercover don't trust you with another
So when you come home late investigate your secret lover

Don't ever lie to my little girl
Especially when you try to deny her

She's not cryin' anymore
She's on to us
I think she's on to us
And she don't need me that's for sure
No need for explanation about my indiscretion

She's up and down the hotel elevators
Drinks her favorite crown slidin' down the escalators
Takes her photographs like a tourist on vacation
When she finds a clue she'll file for a separation

Don't ever lie to my little girl
Discretion for her wild accusations

She's not cryin' anymore
She's on to us
I think she's on to us
And she don't need me that's for sure
No need for explanation about my indiscretion

There'll never be a lover to take us from each other
I promise you, yes I promise you
And when I'm far away I'll call you everyday
Unless I get constructive with someone more destructive

Don't ever lie to my little girl
Discretion and her wild accusations
Don't ever lie and never deny to me... oh!

She's not cryin' anymore
She's on to us
I think she's on to us
And she don't need me that's for sure
A private conversation late night interrogation
She's not cryin' anymore
She's on to us
I think she's on to us
And she don't need me that's for sure
No need for explanation about my indiscretion

She's on to us (she's alone)
She'll only make you cry little boy don't ever tease her (don't tease her)
If you will deny she'll destroy, don't ever try
She's on to us - she's on to us
Don't try to deceive her... you won't believe her
She's so on to us, she's so on to us

(She's on to us)

7. "The Rock That Rolled Away"

In days before there was a different state of mind
A feeling ruled both night and day
But then the clouds rolled in and the spirit fell behind
The better angels lost their way

Sold their souls
Earth got cold
We're told - no one saw the signs

Gotta find the rock that rolled away
We can't just leave it for another day - no no!
In time we'll know it's here to stay
When we finally find the rock that rolled away

Why does it happen good intentions turn to greed
Is that the best that we can do
It's hard to get all of the answers that we need
You gotta tell the lies from truth

Turn this round
Unfit crown
Shakedown everything in sight

'Til we find the rock that rolled away
We can't just leave it for another day - no no!
In time we'll know it's here to stay
When we finally find the rock that rolled away

(Gotta roll it) gotta roll it back
(Can't stop it) can't stop the light coming in gotta let it shine
(Gotta hold it) can't keep it under your skin
(Gotta roll it) gotta roll it back, back, back, back

Turn this round
Unfit crown
Shake it down
Sold their souls
Earth got cold
We're told - no one saw the signs

We'll find the rock that rolled away
We can't just leave it for another day
In time we'll know it's here to stay
There's nothing more to say 'til we finally find the rock that rolled away

Gotta roll it, gotta roll it
Gotta roll it, gotta roll it

Gotta rock and roll it
Gotta rock and roll the rock that rolled away

Gotta roll it
Gotta roll it
Gotta roll it back
The rock that rolled away
...

8. "Long Road To Nowhere"

I never seen a storm
That didn't bring a cloudy day
There won't be no sunshine
Nothin' good is gonna' come my way

I can't fight this pain I'm in
Suicide I just can't win

The long long road to nowhere
There ain't no getting off
Something's gotta give it's no way to live
This boundary that I've crossed
The long long road to nowhere

I'm in a hole
I'm all curled up and I'm freezing cold
My skin is weak
My dying words that I just can't speak

She's my queen my heroin
I'm her slave her cherubim

The long long road to nowhere
There ain't no getting off
Something's gotta give it's no way to live
The boundaries that I've crossed

I'm goin' nowhere
Goin' nowhere

I can't fight this pain I'm in
Suicide I just can't win

The road to nowhere
There ain't no getting off
Something's gotta give it's no way to live
This boundary that I've crossed
The long long road to nowhere
To nowhere
The long long road to nowhere
There ain't no getting off
The long long road to nowhere
There ain't no getting off
I can't fight this pain
I can't fight this pain
The long long road to nowhere

9. "Sacred Place"

I don't know if you feel the same
It only matters if we share the pain
You're the reason for my everyday
The light fades as you turn to walk away
And if it wasn't for my love for you
You know my everyday, everyday
Would be no more than just a day

Do you believe coincidence
When we've got nothing more to say
Do you believe a second chance
Could lead us to that sacred place

Every time that I see your face
Is one more day that I can embrace
In every way and everything you say
Is nothing more than a perfect day

And if it wasn't for the sun and moon
Or the wind that drives the rain

Do you believe coincidence
When we've got nothing more to say
Do you believe a second chance
Could lead us to that sacred place

Every night I pray for a miracle oh
Do you, do you?

We're in a sacred place
Did we get here by chance
Oh

Do you believe coincidence
When we've got nothing more to say
Do you believe a second chance
Could lead us to that sacred place

Do you believe
Oh I believe
You know that I believe
Everybody needs a second chance
To lead us to that sacred place

Every night I pray
For that sacred place
That sacred place
That sacred place
(Don't be afraid)
Every night I pray
(Don't be afraid)
Ooh that sacred place
(Don't be afraid)
That sacred place
(Don't be afraid)
Ooh that sacred place

10. "Unless We Change"

I stand before you naked and alone
You find me guilty of a crime I haven't done
You build your gallows drag me up that hill
A thousand years from now won't change a god damn thing

Hungry for the game
The witness calls my name
In search of paradise
Like lambs to the sacrifice

And the worlds forever strange (unless we change)
Unless we change (aah)
Take this pain away from me (unless we change)
The anguish that I feel
The taste of bitter tears
The highs the lows that make me suffer
Unless we change

The cities burnin' the mob is on the move
My stomach's turnin' from everythin' we lose
This raging fire is choking me to death
The devils smiling now he's got us in his grip

I hear the angels sing
Hallelujah praise his name
Every living thing
Rise up and start again

And the worlds forever strange (unless we change)
Unless we change (aah)
Take this pain away from me (unless we change)
The anguish that I feel
The taste of bitter tears
The highs the lows that make me suffer
Unless we change

Survival... confusion
The anger... we're disillusioned
Shout! Gotta break out!
Burn it down... or we turn this thing around

And the worlds forever strange (unless we change)
Unless we change (aah)
Take this pain away from me (unless we change)
The anguish that I feel
The taste of bitter tears
The highs the lows that make me suffer
Unless we change

11. "Divided/United"

Been given everythin' under the sun
Hmmm guess you want it all before your time is done, oh yeah
You'll never see it's your own impatience that gives it away
No you're never to blame but you've crossed the line

We are so divided can't you see
We are so divided tragically
I know that the road we've taken
Won't end if our hope is shaken
We're so divided it's killin' me

Why does everyone's pain always turn you to stone
Oh are you really afraid you're gonna end up alone, oh yeah
If your feelings are ordinary then blind meet the blind
But it's not what you say it's that we're all out of time

We are so divided can't you see
We are so divided tragically
I know that the road we've taken
Won't end if our souls are breakin' down
We're so divided it's killin' me

Cos we are divided
Oh we're so undecided

I've had enough of indecision
It's time to come alive again
Been fast approaching fighting in the streets
It's hard to believe but now I can see
We've opened the door

We are united standing up as one
We are united you're not the only one
We are united and in place not just rats in a race
All disconnect that we'll reject in anything we face
We are united
We are united united united
We are united

Open the door and let the human race
Come together face to face

Why don't you open the door and let the human race
Come together face to face

Cos we are united united united
We are united
