DIABLO SWING ORCHESTRA LYRICS

1. Knucklehugs (Arm Yourself With Love)

Arm yourselves brothers and sisters
Arm yourselves with love
Stand up straight, walk tall and proud
Transcend and then rise above

Arm yourselves brothers and sisters
Arm yourselves with faith
'cause they already walk among us
And they say it's far too late

Arm yourselves brothers and sisters
Arm yourselves with love
Stand up straight, walk tall and proud
Transcend and then rise above

You better
Arm yourself, arm yourself, arm yourself
Some say you better
Arm yourself, arm yourself
Arm yourself, some say you better
Some say you better

Calm yourselves brothers and sisters
Stay calm but stay awake
Wash away them thoughts of doubt
Of fear and despair and hate


Arm yourselves brothers and sisters
Embrace them one by one
A call went out to incite you all
Make a stand and then we have won

You better
Arm yourself, arm yourself, arm yourself
Some say you better
Arm yourself, arm yourself
Arm yourself with love
Some say you better, some say you better
Some say you better
Arm yourself with love

Go on and arm yourselves

2. The Age Of Vulture Culture

Take all my honour and throw me away
Spit on me, tell me I do not belong here
Haunt me and make me run for my life
Set my home on fire and burn it down to ash

Meet my eyes or look away now
No love is hiding behind those words
I beg 'cause of exclusion
And dream a distant dream
Where insensibility is history

Let us love, let us be
Release and set us free
To find us a place to call our own
Once a thought in a mind
Now it's a labelled genocide
To find us a place to call our home
Fight for a place to call our own

You give me nothing more than just lies
Wrapped up in those beautiful words
Haunt me and make me a fugitive searching
For dignity
The say - You've got yourself to blame!

Take my hand or turn away now
Tell a story so they can hear
For those who run beacuse of persecution
And dream a distant dream
Where insensibility is history

Let us love...
Now sleep
the world I know is callous
They blame the people they don't know
Awake in times of deception
And dream a distant dream
Where insensibility is history

Let us love...

3. Superhero Jagganath

Hide away from me
From who I am, infinity
Time to blossom rage
If people want to cage me like an animal
Tonight I'm gonna show you my supremacy

Now, I am insatiable
I'm unerasable
I'm Jagganath

Now, I'm indestructible
Endlessly beautiful
I'm Jagganath

Gotta hunt, gotta find
Feed the fire in my mind
Fuel for my prosperity
Gonna cut, gonna slash
Gonna burn you into ash
For my prepotency

Jagganath

Now, I'm unerasable
I'm indestructible
I'm Jagganath

Now, I am unstoppable
Endlessly beautiful
King of the world
You connoisseur
What you deserve
And I am

Superhero Jagganath [8x]

Oh Jagganath

Prowling to succeed
The hero stampedes hysterically
Violent masquerade
I'm brutal and appalling to your common eyes
Tonight I'm gonna show you my sublimity

I'm gonna pry, inside your mind
And I'm about to try a little thing
Called hypnotize
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
And in the end I will deliver you demise

Now, I'm unerasable
I'm indestructible
I'm Jagganath

Now, I'm unerasable
I'm indestructible
I'm Jagganath

Superhero Jagganath [4x]

Superhero Jagganath [2x]
Superduperhero Jagganath

Now, I'm unerasable
I'm indestructible
I'm Jagganath

Lights out for the wonderful
Endlessly beautiful
State of the art

Superhero Jagganath

4. Vision Of The Purblind

[Instrumental]

5. Lady Clandestine Chainbreaker

They tell you how to be a man
They tell you how to be a woman in a dress
The colour of your skin gives them the power to
Determine who you are

But in our minds
And in our dreams
I know that we can feel

Emotionally

Free
Tasting it feels so good
Free
Wanna have it and eat it too

They say
Who are you gonna be?
What are you gonna do?
But I know there's another possibility
Some of us can't
Some of us don't
It can be hard to breathe

In our minds
And in our dreams
I know that we can feel

Emotionally

Free
Tasting it feels so good
Free
Wanna have it and eat it too
How about you?

On a mission
Taken for granted
Knowing that things will change
This secret I have seen
The illusion of life
Can't contain us

How about you?
Well
If you can't choose
You try to stand tall

'Cause in our minds
And in our dreams
I know that we can feel
Emotionally free

'Cause in our minds
And in our dreams
I know that we can feel

Emotionally

Free
Tasting it feels so good
Free
Wanna have it and eat it too
Free
Taste it, it feels so good

6. Jigsaw Hustle

Secret signs, I show them to my heart
That shares my view
Thought it's old and all too sore,
This heaven cannot hold it anymore

Two-faced eyes
There's nothing that can keep me
From my prize
Glory days, though come and gone,
And you'll be left to mourn
What you have found

Come what may
Deed is done
Now we watch a setting sun
'Cause I want a life
With a view
Can't you see it's about you
And how I breathe for you

Speak your mind, 'cause my dear you don't
Even know how to life
Charlatans all gathered now
They're here to watch us
Crumble from inside
Out of time, and end oh so fitting
Can you hear the crowd?
For the very last time,
Just show them how you swayed
When you were mine

Come what may
Deed is done
Now we watch a setting sun
'Cause I want a life
With a view
Can't you see it's about you
And how I breathe for you

Come what may
Deed is done
Now we watch a setting sun

I want a life
With a view
Can't you see it's about you
And how I breathe

Come what may
Deed is done
Now we watch a setting sun
'Cause I want a life
With a view
Can't you see it's about you
And how I breathe

Dream of you

7. Pulse Of The Incipient

[Instrumental]

8. Ode To The Innocent

As a child
Soft and wild
Imagine what life could be like
Safe and sound
Lost and found
Here, not yet twisted in mind

Like a feather
Like a whisper
Like a promise shouldn't wither
Away with the last rays of hope
In a longing for belonging
To something more
A million light voices
Now washed up ashore

Searching through the sky
Seek for love that never dies
Dreams and hopes will burn alive
Hide what's there
Not meant to share
So most of the time
I forgave and forgot

Like a feather...

But I can't find the trust tonight
I can't sleep with this world outside

Like a feather...

9. Interruption

Fingers playing
Melodies I dreamed of before
Feeling deeper
Come closer, time is patient

Interruption makes the flow
Interruption makes me feel
Interruption in life is what makes it real

Oh
Feel the energy rush inside of me
Oh
Flows in every part, so deeply in my heart
Oh
Feel the energy
And dance against the stream

Going faster
Dancing like music can swing
Feeling higher
Stars Shimmer
Closer explosions

Interruption in something sweet
Interruption is the heat
Interruption in life is what makes it beat

Oh
Feel the energy rush inside of me
Oh
Flows in every part, so deeply in my heart
Oh
Feel the energy
And dance against the stream
And sway with me tonight

Come spin me around...

10. Cul-De-Sac Semantics

[Instrumental]

11. Karma Bonfire

Iron pipes - come let us dance!
Bang, bang, bang
Can you feel the romance?
Walk in line
Oh how our brown shirts shine
'Cause easy solutions we provide

Save them darling
Take 'em all so far away
So we can help them darling
Take two
We're never gonna leave you

Shake it and then break it
And then tear it down
Show you all
Where the scapegoats are
We'll fake it and just leave
The truth to be drowned
We won't look back
Shake it and then break it
And then tear it down
All dressed up just to let you down
Can't you see it's the jester we crown?
We will not look back

Karma bonfire baby
Make way - we'll burn them all!
Flames of reason
It's all for the greater good
It's all we've ever been - misunderstood

Save them darling
Take 'em all so far away
So we can help them darling
Take two
We're never gonna leave you

Shake it and then break it
And then tear it down
Show you all
Where the scapegoats are
We'll fake it and just leave
The truth to be drowned
We won't look back
Shake it and then break it
And then tear it down
All dressed up just to let you down
Can't you see it's the jester we crown?
We will not look back

No, no, no
We'll never ever look back

Shake it...

12. Climbing The Eyewall

Take him, take him very far
'Cause I can never leave him
Can't hold on to what's never gonna heal
Make him safer, break his fall
Catch him while he's vulnerable

Loving him was not just a coincidence
I tell you, he was broken, I was broken too
Speak the truth in every sense
Bury it with innocence

Wade through your troubles with grace
Night and day
Can't combine
This life of heaven and hell
Leaving home
Have faith and follow the road
There's truth, believe in your soul
When it's time to let go

Take him, take him, take my heart
This love is all I've got
Oh I'm fearing for his life, but still
The choice was mine
Make him safer, break his fall
Catch him while he's vulnerable

Wade through your troubles with grace
Night and day
Can't combine
This life of heaven and hell
Leaving home
Have faith and follow the road
There's truth, believe in your soul
When it is time to let go
There's truth, believe in your soul
When it is time to let go

13. Porch Of Perception

[Instrumental]
