I can feel you far away
Your hesitation matching mine Sadness left me far away Your contemplation turn to wine An old man stares at me In mutual bizarre reverie Laugh at thy neighbor Pretend you are sane Just the same you You survived in vain Laugh at thy neighbor Pretend you are sane Just the same You survived in vain Time is the father of existence Rhyme, the brother of resistance Broken down by men in their crazy mind Void is the mother of unknown distance Will, the sister of persistence Stripping under the elusive sky The potion of devotion Euphoric scriptures of the ocean Laugh at thy neighbor Pretend you are sane Just the same you You survived in vain Time is the father of existence Rhyme, the brother of resistance Broken down by men in their crazy minds Void is the mother of unknown distance Will, the sister of persistence Stripping under the elusive sky I felt so alone Till you came into my life And stopped the pain I felt so alone Then you came into my life And poured the rain I feel so alone Dressed in the dark silk Clothing of your own disdain I feel so disowned Since your children Took up arms in your own name God name's different in every language God name's different in every language Imposed illusion, composed disillusion God's name's different in every language Imposed illusion, composed disillusion God's name's different in every language 02. Borders Are... Music & lyrics by Serj Tankian
Never let you go
Never let you go Never let you go Never let you go Borders are, the gallows Of our collective national egos Subjective, lines in sand In the water separating everything Fear is the cause of separation Backed with illicit conversation Procured by constant condemnation National blood-painted persuation Here's my song, for the free No it's not about praise and publicity Corprotocracy, what a hypocrisy Aristocracy versus democracy Fear is the cause of separation Backed with illicit conversation Procured by constant condemnation National blood-painted persuation The king is dead and now we're dancing in the streets As the waters rise we're merely covering our feet I never let you go I never let you go I never let you go I never let you go I never let you go I never let you go I never let you go I never let you go Fear is the cause of separation Backed with illicit conversation Procured by constant condemnation National blood-painted persuation Fear is the cause of separation Backed with illicit conversation Procured by constant condemnation National blood-painted persuation The king is dead and now we're dancing in the streets As the waters rise we're merely covering our feet Your gods are dead and now we're dancing in the streets As the waters rise we're merely cowering in defeat I never let you go I never let you go I never let you go I never let you go I never let you go I never let you go I never let you go I never let you go Never let you go I never let you go Never let you go Never let you go Never let you go I never let you go Never let you go Never let you go 03. Deserving? Music & lyrics by Serj Tankian

Beatus Music & lyrics by Serj Tankian
Yesterday when you opened your eyes
In the morning, and you rushed my soul Memories connect them all to her Have I lost you again, possibly amidst forever The strong winds have shaken me inside When you touch me, I feel it When you touch me, I feel you You've become my addiction My mental preoccupied obsession To hear your voice I extend toward the sun Eating makes me think of you This city has become your face Strangling myself in my silence When you touch me, I feel it When you touch me, (I feel you) When you touch me, I feel it When you touch me, (I feel you) I feel it... I feel it... I feel it... Have I lost you again, with the possibility of forever The strong winds have shaken me inside The sun barely giving of herself I'm strangled in my aloneness, lockness Lock this before it's gone Winds have shaken me inside The sun barely giving of herself I'm strangled in my aloneness, lockness Lock this before it's gone The collaboration and association Hear the story of another woman in time Giving permission for buying a gift For the bearer of the selfish (When you touch me) Yesterday when you opened your eyes In the morning, and you rushed my soul Memories connect them all to her Eating makes me think of you This city has become your face Strangling myself in my silence When you touch me, I feel it When you touch me, (I feel you) When you touch me, I feel it When you touch me, (I feel you) I feel it... when you touch me... 05. Reconstructive Demonstrations Music & lyrics by Serj Tankian
They say women cry when walls retire
They say that men die when walls retire When walls retire Unconventional Deconstructive conversations (Teach us how to eat) I will never let you go Conversational Reconstructive demonstrations (Teach us how to speak) Why, confess the final blow Teach us how to eat From your broken hands 'Cause nothing seems to grow Teach us how to speak The language of your only dreams No one seems to understand that We are falling to our knees I forgot to pray You forgot to say please (Kill me) I never let you go I forgot to go You forgot to know me (Teach us how to speak) Why confess the final blow Teach us how to eat From your broken hands 'Cause nothing seems to grow Teach us how to speak The language of your only dreams No one seems to understand that We are falling to our knees Blindness serves not god nor man So we are falling into disease We're falling into disease I'm crawling, I'm crawling I'm crawling, I'm crawling I'm crawling, I'm crawling I'm crawling, I'm crawling We're falling, we're falling We're falling, we're falling We're falling into, into disease Disease, disease, disease Disease, disease, disease Disease, disease, disease Disease, disease We've fallen, we've fallen We've fallen, we've fallen We've fallen, we've fallen We've fallen, we've fallen No one seems to understand that We are falling to our knees Blindness serves not god nor man So we are falling into disease Disease 06. Electron Music & lyrics by Serj Tankian
We follow the ever-falling rain
Electrons Protons fight again So, we run We follow the ever-rising sun With feelings of all becoming one Then, we fly We fly in our dreams ever so bold Swimming the seas covered with gold Behold, proceed Proceed with the blessing of all the gods Amidst the time of men at odds See, believe Tell me, what it is that we believe The storm shines bright Tell me, what it is that we believe The storm shines bright Storm shines bright Storm shines bright Grapevines of thoughts lining the skies Overwhelmingly of demise So we sing We sing to the spirit world so close Providing our vital life force Then we breathe We breathe with the breath of I-Ching With the spirit that moves through all things Now, we see Seeing of all that is alive Will be the way to survive Life, released Tell me, what it is that we believe The storm shines bright Tell me, what it is that we believe The storm shines bright Tell me, what it is that we believe The storm shines bright Tell me, what it is that we believe The storm shines bright Storm shines bright Storm shines bright So bright 07. Gate 21 Music & lyrics by Serj Tankian
The love that you bring
You bring me alone The pain that you give Gives me a home Do you wanna stay by my side? Do you want me to turn and hide? We are disappearing inside Seeing pictures of our goodbyes When we, we believe That our love will survive The pain that you bring Brings me all alone Do you love me, do you hate me? Do you wanna believe me? Do you think that you don't need me? Do you wanna deceive me? I can't take that it's all over, don't want to forget I can take the disappointment down I want to repress your goodbye, goodbye The design, we broke the mold The dreams when you see That goodbyes aren't for long Please follow me to the borders of destiny I don't want to break from your side The falling ground screams goodbye Please follow me to the borders of destiny I don't want to break from your side The falling ground screams goodbye Goodbye, goodbye The design, we broke the mold The dreams when you see That goodbyes aren't for long 08. Yes, It's Genocide Music & lyrics by Serj Tankian
I want to die for your terror
I want to die for your fear I want to die for your life I want to die for your life I want to die for your terror I want to die for your fear I want to die for your life I want to die for your life I want to die for your terror I want to die for your death I want to die for your fear I want to die for your life I want to die for your terror I want to die for your death I want to die for your fear I want to die for your life I want to die for your terror I want to die for your death I want to die for your life I want to die for your terror I want to die for your fear I want to die for your life 09. Peace Be Revenged Music & lyrics by Serj Tankian
Where are we to go?
How can we survive? When the falling rain seems to cease We will all have to go Where are we to go? How can we survive? When the falling rain seems to cease We will all go We have built our lives Without nature in mind So that we've become the disease But we won't go Those that survive Can end with our life Peace will be returned We need to praise you Peace will first be revenged Once we used to hear But like footsteps appear Now we have no fear And in turn will disappear We have built our lives Without nature in mind So that we've become the disease But we won't go Those that survive Can end with our life Peace will be returned We need to praise you Peace will first be revenged Revenge, revenge When the rain washes All the mitochondria Try to steer your Intentions into love When your fears mix with Brain wash erosions, dear I won't be here then You won't be here when When the rain washes All the mitochondria Try to steer your Intentions into love When your dear mix with Brain wash erosions, fear I won't be here then You won't be here when Just watch the rain Just watch the rain Rain, watch the rain Just watch the rain Just watch the rain Rain, watch the rain Where do we go? How do we meet you? 10. Left Of Center Music & lyrics by Serj Tankian
Are we a fantasy
Swimming in theocracy We are Far from holy The wholeness of one Repeat after me We lost the key of sight Now blind We fear in flight We are Far from love But silence is golden Please observe Fighting your empire Defending your vampires Far away We're going too far Bombing your ignorance Defeating your insolence Far away We're going too far We're going too far If today I die And cannot deny The life That I lived for what I say Now befit myself in time No time To die or kill (live) No structures of a pyramid No trained horses to arise Surmise my position My words define Fighting your empire Defending your vampires Far away We're going too far Bombing your ignorance Defeating your insolence Far away We're going too far We're going too far We go forward We go backward Living Dying We're dying We're living We're living We're dying We're crying We're seeing We're living We're breathing Dying Seeing Fighting your empire Defending your vampires Far away We're going too far Bombing your ignorance Defeating your insolence Far away We're going too far We're going too far 11. Wings Of Summer Music & lyrics by Serj Tankian
Well, I, I, wanna fly, fly
On the wings, wings of summer But you, you put your eyes You put your eyes on mine Go, perfect your fall And no matter what Smile for them all For today, we see never Tomorrow's menu reads forever I, I wanna fly On the wings of summer But you, put your eyes on mine I, I want to fly On the wings of summer But you, you put your eyes on mine Don't confess to the crime Till you lavish in your concubine When you think you got clever They'll wheel you in and pull the lever Now I, I want to fly On the wings of summer But you, put your eyes on mine Now I, I'm going to fry 'Cause I ran over the guy with a Hummer But you, put your eyes, eyes on the divine Now I, I want to fly, fly on the wings of summer But you, you put your eyes You put your eyes on mine When you think that it's all over They'll clip your wings and make you roll over To perfect your great fall No matter what smile for them all For today we see never Tomorrow's menu reads forever For today we see never Tomorrow's menu reads |
