A Thousand Suns: The Full Experience

God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hand
Sins of our tongue
The sins of our father
The sins of our young

God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hand
Sins of our tongue
The sins of our father
The sins of our young

We knew the world would not be the same
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-gītā

Vishnu is trying to persuade the 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 used the deadwood 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

Oh, 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

We held our breath when the clouds began to form
But you were lost in the beating of the storm
And in the end we were made 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

I used the deadwood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies

I am not a pattern to be followed
The pill that I'm on is a tough one to swallow
I'm not a criminal, not a role model
Not a born leader, I'm a tough act to follow
I am not the fortune and the fame
Nor the same person telling you to forfeit the game
I came in the ring like a dog on a chain
And I found out the underbelly's sicker than it seems

And it seems ugly, but it can get worse
'Cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse
'Cause once you got a theory of how the thing works
Everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first

And I'm not a robot
I'm not a monkey
I will not dance even if the beat's funky
Opposite of lazy, far from a punk
Y'all ought to stop talking, start trying to catch up motherfucker

And all the people say

Try to catch up motherfucker

Lauryn said, money change a situation
Big said, it increases the complication
Kane said, don't step, I ain't the one
Chuck said, that uzi weigh a motherfuckin' ton
And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me
Rockin' every stage in every place that it brought me
I'm awfully underrated, but came here to correct it
And so it ain't mistaken, I'ma state it for the record

I am the opposite of wack, opposite of weak
Opposite of slack, synonym of heat
Synonym of crack, closest to a peak
Far from a punk
Y'all ought to stop talking, start trying to catch up motherfucker

And all the people say

Try to catch up motherfucker

Oh, when they come for me
Come for me
I'll be gone
Oh, when they come for me
Come for me
I'll be gone
Oh, when they come for me
Come for me
I'll be gone

And all the people say

Try to catch up motherfucker

And all the people say

Try to catch up motherfucker

Presten atención todos
Toda la gente preste atención, escúchenme ahora mismo

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 lose
So you say, you're not gonna fight 'cause no one will fight for you
You say, the weight of the world has 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 way that no one will ever know
But some day, 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 (yeah)
So, hold on! The weight of the world will give you the strength to go (hold on, hold on)

(Hold on) so, hold on! The weight of the world will give you the strength to go (hold on, hold on, hold on)
Just hold on! The weight of the world will give you the strength to go

Yeah
Yo

This is not the end, this is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm
And though the words sound steady, something's empty within 'em

We say, yeah, with fists flying up in the air
Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there
'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and fear
Until we dead it, forget it, let it all disappear

Waiting for the end to come
Wishing I had strength to stand
This is not what I had planned
It's out of my control

Flying at the speed of light
Thoughts were spinning in my head
So many things were left unsaid
It's hard to let you go

(Oh) I know what it takes to move on
(Oh) I know how it feels to lie
(Oh) all I wanna do is trade this life for something new
(Oh) holding 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

(Oh) I know what it takes to move on
(Oh) I know how it feels to lie
(Oh) all I wanna do is trade this life for something new
(Oh) holding on to what I haven't got

Yo, yo
What was left when that fire was gone?
I thought it felt right, but that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm

And trying to figure out what it's like moving on
And I don't even know what kind of things I've said
My mouth kept moving, and my mind went dead
So, I'm picking up the pieces now where to begin

The hardest part of ending is starting again
All I wanna do is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got
This is not the end, this is not the beginning

Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm
Though the words sound steady, something empty's within them
We say, yeah, with fists flying up in the air

Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there
'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear
Until we get it, forget it, let it all disappear

I'm stuck in this bed you made
Alone with a sinking feeling
I saw through the words you said to the secrets you've been keeping
It'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 down
No, you'll never get out of sight
You push it back down
Blackout, 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 seems
No remorse for the trust you're breaking

You run to the back, you fall
Suffocate in the mess you're making
You can't get enough
You take and take and take and take and take

Fuck it, are you listening?
No, you got to get out of sight
You push it back down
You push it back down

No, you'll never get out of sight
You push it back down
You push it back down
No, you got to get out of sight

You push it back down
You push it back down
No, you'll never get out of sight
You push it back down

Blackout, blood in your eye
Blackout, blood in your eye

You push it back down
Push it back down
You push it back down
Blood in your eye

Blackout, blackout
Blackout, blood in your eye
Blackout
Black-bla-black-blackout

Blood in your
Black-blackout, blackout
Black-blackout
Blackout, blood in your eye

(Blackout, blood in your)
(Blackout, blood in your)
(Blackout, blood in your)
(Blackout, blood in your)
(Blackout, blood in your)
(Blackout)

Floating down as colors fill the light
We look up from the ground in fields of paper white
Floating up, you pass us in the night
The future gazing out a past to overwrite

So come down far below
We've been waiting to collect the things you know
Come down far below
We've been waiting to collect what you've let go

Come down, oh
Come down, oh
Come down, oh
Come down, oh
Come down, oh

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
To save face, how low can you go?

Talk a lot of game but yet you don't know
Static on the way, make us all say "whoa"
The people up top push the people down low
Get down

And obey every word
Steady getting mine 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 letting 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

Steel unload, final blow
We the animals take control
Hear us now, clear and true
Wretches and kings we come for you

So keep pace, how slow can you go
Talk a lot of shit and yet you don't know
Fire on the way make you all say, "whoa"
The people up top and the people down low

Get down and I'm running 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 letting 'em 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

Steel unload, final blow
We the animals take control
Hear us now, clear and true
Wretches and kings we come for you

Steel unload, fire blow
Filthy animals, beat them low
Skin and bone, black and blue
No more this sun shall beat onto you

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

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 who run it, to the people who own it
That unless you're free
The machine will be prevented from working at all

I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight
Because my conscience leaves me no other choice
A true revolution of values will lay hand on the world order and say of war
This way of settling differences is not just

This business of burning human beings with napalm
Of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows
Of injecting poisonous drugs of hate
Into veins of people normally humane

Sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields
Physically handicapped and psychologically deranged

Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love

Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love
Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love

When you were standing in the wake of devastation
When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
And with the cataclysm raining down
Insides crying, "Save me now"

You were there, impossibly alone
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
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 tempered grace
Falling into empty space
No one there to catch you in their arms

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go, let it go

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go

Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go, let it go

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

God, bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone

It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun, no!
God, bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun

And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun, no!
And when I close my eyes tonight

To symphonies of blinding light
God, bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
Oh, like memories in cold decay

Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky
God, save us everyone

Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?
For the sins of our hand
The sins of our tongue
The sins of our fathers

The sins of our young, no
God, save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?
For the sins of our hand

The sins of our tongue
The sins of our fathers
The sins of our young, no
And when I close my eyes tonight

To symphonies of blinding light
God, save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?
Oh, like memories in cold decay

Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky
Oh, like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go

Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go-

And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun, no

God, bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone

It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun, no
God, bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun

And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun

When you feel you're alone
Cut off from this cruel world
Your instinct's telling you to run
Listen to your heart
Those angel voices
They'll sing to you

They'll be your guide
Back home
When life leaves us blind
Love keeps us kind

It keeps us kind
When you've suffered enough
And your spirit is breaking
You're growing desperate from the fight

Remember, you're loved
And you always will be
This melody will bring you right
Back home

When life leaves us blind
Love keeps us kind
When life leaves us blind
Love keeps us kind

Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh
