GLOBUS LYRICS

1. The Promise

One sails the seas of life and believes
The storms will lead you home
These open roads will call you with the promise
You'll walk the Earth alone

We lopen
We vallen
We leren, we falen, we staan
We vechten
We helpen
Haten, luisteren, en gaan
Beminnen
We duiken
We dansen, we lachen, ontluiken
Verwonderen
We hopen
We bidden, verlaten, vergaan

I live in a dream
With open eyes I breathe again
I see all your fears
Together we can feel
We can heal
And take the road less traveled on
To here, in the new
Like diamonds we will shine
We will rise
Two hearts, where souls are free again
We live

We sail the seas of life and believe
The storms will lead us home
These open roads will call us with the promise
We walk the Earth alone

We lopen
We vallen
We leren, we falen, we staan
We vechten
We helpen
Haten, luisteren, en gaan
Beminnen
We duiken
We dansen, we lachen, ontluiken
Verwonderen
We hopen
We bidden, verlaten, vergaan
We lopen
We vallen

This dream is a universe
And every soul shines
Where the darkness turns into light
I take you to fly with me
And follow the way
There will always be a new day

There will always be a new day

2. Wyatt Earth

Looking down at this barren land
Once known as home before
Destruction, all the world
It's an ending we have brought

The world we wrote a million times before
And what we allow to break this all down
The world we broke a million times before
What should have been stunned is now all struck dumb

Cities they fell, life's a choke
On bittersweet warnings took for a joke
Misspent days, spent in a haze
Pumped from our factories into our graves
They must know that they're so close to bringing nothing
So they show
They've brought success at bringing nothing

The world we wrote a million times before
And what we allow to break this all down
The world we broke a million times before
What should have been stunned is now all struck dumb

Struck dumb

Still looking down at this broken land
Once grass has turned to sand
Hindsight's broke, sky is smoke
We've passed this point of doubt
They must know that they're so close to bringing nothing
So they show
They've brought success at bringing nothing

The world we wrote a million times before
And what we allow to break this all down
The world we broke a million times before
What should have been stunned is now all struck dumb

The world we wrote a million times before
And what we allow to break this all down
The world we broke a million times before
What should have been stunned is now all struck dumb

3. Doomsday

Lex lata, pulvis et umbra cinis
Ultra tuum praesidium, consumimur igni plebis victis

You wake up believing this day will end by evening
It's taken for granted that seeds of life are planted
But nothing prepares you for nature's acts of virtue
It's Doomsday, ascending, the world you know is ending

Seas will rise and the mountains will stir
With the power of creation
We will end in a fiery rage

Cantus immortale regnum
In aeterna prosae, infinitum
Luce, ressurectum!

Regnum
In aeterna prosae, infinitum
Luce, ressurectum!
Santcus infuriate, malus
Perenisus, quisere amo anti teus
Cruce, prosae mortis!

Excrucio, natura fieri mortis
These last days, our death throes, the ultimate inferno
No hope for survival, this Doomsday is our final sight

Dark and grim, your fate will begin
In the fire and the pain, God will reign on this Doomsday

Gladius! in evertimitum, gloria! in excruciatus
Radio! vera sentimenti, termino! ab infuriate
Solvo rei! qui a serpentinus, maxime! amo anti teus
Malus perenisus, cruce invocale
Morte hossana, prosae fortuna!
Mystre! morte! sancte per dei!

4. A Thousand Deaths

In excelsius benedictus
Blessed angels hear our prayer
Immortales resurrectus
Let thy whisper dry our tears
In excelsius benedictus
Blessed angels hear our prayer
Immortales resurrectus
Let thy promise calm our fears
Hosanna, hosanna, aeterna
Holy we'll arrive forevermore

[Arabic chant]

Two lovers, two forces of love and hate
I pull you, you pull me, we complicate
Unlikely defendants in a lovers' trial
And facing a world in complete denial
From London to Aden, the stage is set
Two cultures in conflict, love under threat

And I'd breathe in fire and ash
All for the sake of love
And I'd die a thousand deaths
All for the sake of love
And I'd breathe in fire and ash
All for the sake of love
And I'd die a thousand deaths
All for the sake of love

[Arabic chant]

The fires of the righteous will always burn
And turn us on each other until we learn
To harness the power of our distinction
And throw off these shackles of bad religion
One thousand and one nights change everything
You are my scheherazade, I am your king

In excelsius benedictus
Immortalis lacunam
In extremis abyss domus
Introitus gloriam

And I'd breathe in fire and ash
All for the sake of love
And I'd die a thousand deaths
All for the sake of love
And I'd breathe in fire and ash
All for the sake of love
And I'd die a thousand deaths
All for the sake of love

In excelsius benedictus
Immortalis lacunam
In extremis abyss domus
Introitus gloriam

The last hope for justice is fleeting fast
Salvation, extinction, we're free at last

In excelsis
Immortalis
In extremis

And I'd die a thousand deaths
All for the sake of love
All for the sake of love

In excelsius benedictus
Blessed angels hear our prayer

[Arabic chant]

5. Save Me

See me take my bones
And I'm heading for the exits
I can't stick around

This life's been hard
And I can't see the sense in fighting it anymore
Can't you let me go
Won't you show me the door

'Cause I've made mistakes
That have hurt the ones I've loved
And I've thrown them under the bus
One too many times

There can be no redemption for a sinner such as I
Won't you wish me to the cornfield now
Won't you help me stop living a lie

So here I am in the corner of a dark room
The same way I began
Alone with these mournful thoughts
And a loaded gun in my hand

But a foolish part of me
Still holds out for a shred of humanity
For a queen in a robe or a knight on a steed
Can't you see that I'm just a child on his knees

So save me from fear and pain
And love will rain on me
Save me today
Before tomorrow finds me at rest

Save me from fear and pain
And love come down and rain on me
Save me today
For tomorrow will find me at rest

Now I'm standing alone in the moment of truth
As the judgement's handed down
And my feet are scarred from the broken glass
Strewn across the ground

Then you come to my side
And only to you I confide
That I've been battered and shattered and bruised and abused
For the very very last time
Won't you help me, just

Save me from fear and pain
And love reign o'er me
Save me, Save me today
For tomorrow will find me at rest

Save me from fear and pain
And love will rain on me
Save me today
For tomorrow, find me at rest
Find me at rest

6. In Memoriam

Fortes et liber
In infinitum
Caeli enarrant
Gloriam amor

Inter spem et metum
In vinculis, etiam audax
Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori

Qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum
Homo vitae, commodatus non donatus est

Esto perpetua
Honor virutis preamium
Nil homini certum est
Eram quod es, eris quod sum

Memoria in aeterna
Pulvis et umbra sumus, redivivus

Incedium, ex amino, finis coronat noster opus
In memoriam, in excelsius, pax vobiscum
Pax et bonnum

Memoria in aeterna
Memoria in aeterna

7. Manuela

She curls up like a ball at the sound of thunder
The distant guns are closing fast
Her body's hard as stone as her heart is tender
Forget your past, Manuela

She finds the strength to heal in her darkest hour
Confronting soldiers as she sleeps
Her solitude is bold, but she fights for comfort
With a friend she keeps, Manuela

Run from the night and emerge into day
Banish those demons as you pull away
Weakened by flight but empowered by will
To live and breathe a newer day

She cries out with a plea from those burning embers
That took her little girl away
Standing shoulder deep in a town of rubble
Alive but trapped, Manuela

Lost in a world of unending design
We cannot find the path to travel on
All I can offer this brave battered soul
Is a weathered hand to rest upon

The fires of Guernica are ablaze forever
Behind those dark devoted eyes
Your day of rest will come when the shells stop falling
From angry skies, Manuela

I'll tend to your heart, Manuela

Forget your past, Manuela

8. Amazing Grace

Well they cut me down and threw me out
'Cause I didn't fit in with the crowd
'Cause I bang the drum too slow and out of time
And the stuff I think is not allowed

Well they cut me off from all the ways
That could give my soul a chance to feel
And the tea leaves in the wind are pointing south
As an angel comes in time to heal

Amazing grace
Comes to embrace
In a world filled with rage
With the love and the light of her face
Amazing grace

Well I'm fighting off a heavy heart
But I got no one but me to blame
And the medication tries to do its part
But it's you who puts me back in the game

Amazing grace
Comes to embrace
In a world filled with rage
With the love and the light of her face
Amazing grace

Well they cut me up and left me scarred
On the fringes of my sanity
But a particle of light cracks through the dark
And delivers your humanity

Amazing grace
Comes to embrace
In a world filled with rage
With the love and the light of her face
Amazing grace

Amazing grace
Comes to embrace
In a world filled with rage
With the love and the light of her face
Amazing grace

9. Black Parade

Now have we seen this light for the last time
They're turning back the clock and we won't survive
On just hope this time

They slowly break us down from the inside
And force a way of life we don't recognize
And free will has died

We take our breath for the last time
We'll give it one more cry before they burn a hole
In our hearts again

We saw it coming, this black parade when will it end
Oh you and I both know, this black parade on fear depends
We can fight it but we can't pretend

خسته نشو، پرواز کن
[Khaste nasho, parvaz kon (Don't get tired, fly)]
ای خسته مونه هم قفس
[Ey khaste mooned too ghafas (Hey, the tired one in the cage)]
پرواز کن تا تو منم با تا هاَم آواز هاَم نفس
[Parvaz kon ta ke manam ba to ham avaz ham nafas (Fly until I sing and breathe with you)]

The turbans reign supreme over virtue
You cannot lift your veil or speak the truth
They promise nothing but keep that bar held high for you

We saw it coming, this black parade, will forge ahead
Oh you and I both know, this black parade
The demon's edge
We will fight it with our dying breath

And now they've pumped the masses full of rage
We're going to light some fires
We're going to burn the stage
The lightning is coming, the marchers will fall
Fall

خسته نشو، خسته نشو، سکوت است فریاد کن
[Khaste nasho, khaste nasho, sokooteto faryad kon (Don't get tired, don't get tired, shout loud your silence)]
تا منو دری، در طول تا الف موسسه قفس آزاد کن
[Ta mano dari, khodeto az in ghafas azad kon (Until you've got me, free yourself from this cage)]

We saw it coming, this black parade will meet its end
Oh you and I both know, this black parade, it's good as dead
We will fight until the streets turn red
This Black Parade will meet its end
Oh you and I both know, this black parade, it's good as dead
We will fight until the streets turn red

فریاد کن
[Faryad kon (Shout)]
پرواز کن
[Parvaz kon (Fly)]

We will fight until the streets turn red

10. One Truth

You don't believe in love and war
You found the truth
You can't ignore
And all the hopes for your conforming have all crumbled now

You take the route
You've been forewarned
You've been cast out and felt the scorn
And all the lies just mount like broken glass upon the ground

How many words have been spoken about a dream that still survives
And to keep the hope alive
How many promises broken by the ones that still delight
In the spreading of the lie

You don't believe in the Holy Grail
You've seen those dreams get so derailed
And all those words like thunder crashing through a broken sky

How many words have been spoken about a dream that still survives
And to keep the hope alive
How many lives have been broken by the ones that still delight
In the spreading of the lie

One journey ends, one life begins
One truth will find you free again
One journey ends, one life begins
One truth will be revealed again

You don't believe in love and war
You've seen those fears played out before
And every heart embattled lies in pieces on the ground
We send our boys to distant shores
We cannot tame them anymore
The day will come when we have no more lives to squander

How many souls have been taken to the mountaintop and down
To the valley once again
How many lives are forsaken by the demons at the gate
Teach the child within to hate

One journey ends, one life begins
In truth you'll find you're free again
One journey ends, one life begins
One truth will make you heal again

One morning breaks, one night will end
One truth is all you can defend
One morning breaks, one night will end
Break from this world and live again

One journey ends, one life begins
One truth will rise to heal again
One journey ends, one life begins
One truth will make you free again

You don't believe in love and war
You found the truth you can't ignore

11. Terminal

Goodbye Earth, hello Moon
Fancy meeting you so soon
I'm taking leave, taking flight
Leave the universe in light

Goodbye Sun, hello Void
Strap me to this asteroid
Shoot me far, throw me deep
Let me find the golden sleep

One million black holes in my head
Swiss cheese brain, those cells are dead
No carbon matter goes to waste
I'll dissipate in endless space

Lost my hair, shed my skin
Look just like a skeleton
Numb to pain, no appetite
Nothing ever felt so right

Close my eyes, drift away
Past the walls, across the bay
I'll take some friends, hurl them ahead
This ward could use the empty beds

12. Elegy

You never bent, you always stood
Could plainly tell the trees from wood
You knew to part the wrong from right
To coax the darkness into light

You took me in when hope was lost
You paid with no regard for cost
You gave your time, you always found
A way to keep my feet on the ground

You never broke, you always healed
And favored need above appeal
You came, you saw, you mended foes
An altruistic dynamo

Now this endless elegy
It sings to you
My tormented memory
It yearns for

You never sold what can't be bought
Your majesty just can't be taught
You always stood on moral ground
Provided hope when none was found

You always gave with pure intent
Regardless of the money spent
You propped me up on broken feet
And spread my wings so they could beat

And now this endless elegy
It breaks my heart
Your eternal memory
Tears me apart

In your mourning
Feel my wind blowing down
My love shines
Through the light of your darkness

And now this endless elegy
It praises you, it sings for you
Never ending memory
It yearns for you, it lives for you

You soldier on, you don't give in
Keep pushing water up a hill
You brought this heart back from the brink
And gave this thirsty soul a drink

From dust to dust, we live, we die
Before we've grown we're out of time
And now you're gone while justice cries
I bury you with no goodbyes

God has let you down
God has let you down

God has let you down
And now this endless elegy
God has let you down
Never ending memory

And now this endless elegy
Your eternal memory
