Wretches and Kings

And you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels,
upon the levers,
upon all the apparatus. And you’ve got to make it stop!”

To save face, how low can you go?
Talk a lotta game, but yet you don’t know.
Static on the wind, makes us all say whoa!
The people up top push the people down low.
Get down, and obey every word.
Steady, get in line if you haven’t yet heard.
Wanna take what I got, don’t be absurd.
Don’t fight the power, nobody gets hurt.
If you haven’t heard yet, then I’m lettin’ you know
There ain’t shit we don’t run when the guns unload
And no one make a move, unless my people say so
Got everything outta control, now everybody go

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey

Feel alone, final blow
We, the animals, take control
Hear us now, clear and tall
Wretches and kings, we come for you

So keep face, how slow can you go?
Talk a lotta shit, and yet you don’t know.
Fire on the wind, makes you all say whoa!
The people up top and the people down low.
Get down, and I’m runnin’ it like that.
The front of the attack is exactly where I’m at.
Somewhere in between the kick and the hi-hat
The pen and the contract, the pitch and the contact
So get with the combat, I’m lettin’ them know
There ain’t shit you can say to make me back down, no.
So push the button, let the whole thing blow.
Spinning everything outta control, now everybody go.

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey

Feel alone, final blow
We, the animals, take control
Hear us now, clear and tall
Wretches and kings, we come for you
Still alone, fight our blow
Filthy animals beat down low
Steel and bone, black and blue
Run at the sunshine, we come for you

From the front to the back and to side to side
If you feel what I feel, put’em up real high
Front to the back and to side to side
If you feel what I feel, put’em up real high

“There’s a time, when the operation of the machine becomes so odious.
Makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part,
you can’t even passively take part.
And you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels,
upon the levers,
upon all the apparatus. And you’ve got to make it stop!
And you’ve got to indicate to the people, run in to the people on it.
And unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all! “

The Messenger

When you feel your alone, cut off from this cruel world.
Your instincts telling you to run.

Listen to your heart, those angel faces.
They’ll see to you they’ll be your guide back home where life leaves us blind.
Love keeps us kind, it keeps us kind

When you’ve suffered enough, and your spirit is breaking.
Your growing desperate from the fight.

Remember your love, and you always will be.
This melody will always bring you right Back home with life

Leaves us blind, Love keeps us kind
when life leaves us blind, Love keeps us kind.

Robot Boy

You say you’re not gonna fight
‘Cause no one would 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 lose
So you say you’re not gonna fight
‘Cause no one would fight for you

You say the weight of the world
Has kept you from letting go
And you think compassion’s a fault
And you’ll never let it show
And you’re sure you hurt in a way
That no one will ever know
But someday the weight of the world
Will give you the strength to go

Hold on, the weight of the world
Will give you the strength to go
So hold on, the weight of the world
Will give you the strength to go
So hold on, the weight of the world
Will give you the strength to go
Just hold on, the weight of the world
Will give you the strength to go

Burning in the Skies

I use the dead wood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies
I filled my cup with the rising of the sea
And poured it out in an ocean of debris

I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve

I held my breath as clouds began to form
But you were lost in the beating of the storm
But in the end we were meant to be apart
In separate chambers of the human heart

I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve

It's in the blackened bones
Of bridges I have burned

So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve

I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve

The blame is mine alone
For bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve

What I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
What I don't deserve

Here's the dead wood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies
