QUEENSRYCHE LYRICS

1. Blood Of The Levant

Stuck in the middle of a warzone
I feel your cry
Knee deep, I hear the sound
Lighting up the sky

Shelling, the cowards let it rain
From a tag on the wall
The violent coloration on the faces of the youth
Enraged them all

Lies, feeding lies
We are the rebels
Lies, feeding lies
We are the rebels

Dying (hit the ground)
Hiding (face first down)
Are we too far from no return?
Dying (hit the ground)
Hiding (face first down)
Where's the path to sovereignty

نحن لسنا العدو
نحن نريد السلام
[English transliteration:
"nahn lasna aleadua
nahn nurid alsalam"]
[English translation:
"We want peace.
We are not the enemy."]

Turned to ashes
Our paradise reduced to dust
We are not the ones to fear
Misunderstood in sadness
Painted blood-red stains
We breathe the same
And we bleed the same

Dying
Hiding
Are we too far from no return?
Dying (hit the ground)
Hiding (face first down)
Where's the path to sovereignty

2. Man The Machine

Don't think, don't speak,
watch out, don't blink,
dissent is a cry for the dead.

Chin up, back straight,
don't ask, just hate!
The serpent's alive,
you are all crucified.

Tear down the walls again,
and all that remains.

He'll see your good deeds
and raise you two rights,
he'll lose it all just
to stay in the fight.

And if you're still blind
sing praise from your knees,
his heel in your back from
once where you stood free.

Building your walls again,
and all that remains.

Broken, broken,
leave the lies,
no use in defending.
Shattered and fragile
to the core.

So hail to Deathmocracy,
Hell for your thoughtcrimes,
hail to your piety.

Oh the irony the
antidote is the disease,
the balancing of
ignorance and atrophy.

Tear down the walls again,
it's more of the same.

Broken, broken,
leave the lies,
no use in defending.
Shattered and fragile
to the core.

3. Light-Years

Light-years and shadows, you'll never see the end of day
Distant horizon, far beyond the past you cannot save

Whispers, no silence, echoing the sounds from far away
Sequenced pariahs, following the footsteps to your grave

Pulling me down the undertow
It's dragging me now, I'm paralyzed
Beyond the distance is out of reach
There's no more I can take

Light-years, you'll never see the end of day
Distant, it's far beyond you cannot save

Pulling me down the undertow
It's dragging me now, I'm paralyzed
Beyond the distance is out of reach

Pulling me down the undertow
It's dragging me now, I'm paralyzed
Beyond the distance is out of reach

4. Inside Out

Light, great rays of light
Speak from the sun
Now it's your turn
Find the echoes of time
Warping your mind
Conscious to all your senses

Stranger than illusion
Sifting through the hands of time

And when you reach for the stars, hold on
And when you think that you can't go on, don't let go

Come, now what do you see
Can we imagine life without you
All that's changing and rearranging
The suffering is what we've come to now

And when you reach for the stars, hold on
And when you think that you can't go on, don't let go

Fear not what you've become
Not what you see
Nor things that could never be

And when you reach for the stars, hold on
And when you think that you can't go on, don't let go

5. Propaganda Fashion

Lightning (charging with a vengeance)
Strikes you (spreading like fire)
Takes you down, down, down
Sell me what's real become desensitized
Pushing their own point of view

Lies, shoving it down, down, your throat, lies

System (no communication)
Broken (poisoned motherfuckers)
Spins you round, round, round
Media persuasion, speeches and names
Paved by the one's with the crown

Lies distort your mind, makes you blind

Tonight your freedom dies
The scars to prove it no reason or no rhyme
The twisted web of lies
Just take your time and hurry up
You're free to do what you're told

Propaganda fashion
Propaganda fashion

Lightning strikes, tension builds
Social cancer rots you away
Crimes, what's it take to realize

Tonight your freedom dies
The scars to prove it no reason or no rhyme
The twisted web of lies
Just take your, just take your time

Propaganda fashion
Propaganda fashion
Propaganda
Propaganda fashion

6. Dark Reverie

If I leave
Would you wait for me?
If I fall
Would you pray for me?
When I'm gone
Will they remember me
Or fade away
Into eternity?

Nothing lasts forever
I can't forget the past
I'm searching for the answers
Through the bottom of a glass
Now this empty road
I'm too weak to ride alone
I've come this far
But I've so far to go

(Down) Down on me
When it rains it pours
Till we all fall down

Do the pictures on the wall
Mean anything at all
Or just your selfish way
To cope with all the pain?

At night I hear the screams
Echo in my dreams
And when I've hit the ground
You kick me when I'm down

(Down) Down on me (Down on me)
Drowning me (Drowning me)
No use in pretending
Like we've done before
(Down) Down on me (Down on me)
My dark reverie
Nothing lasts forever
Just revolving doors

(Take) Take me away
Away from all the pain
Take me in his place
So far away
Away from empty streets
Streets I've only known
Only left to roam

Roam to the other side
So take, take me
Why don't you take me away?

We all fall
We all hurt
We all bleed

We all fall
We all hurt
We all bleed

(Down) Down on me (Down on me)
Drowning me (Drowning me)
No use in pretending
Like we've done before
(Down) Down on me (Down on me)
My dark reverie
Nothing lasts forever
Just revolving doors

7. Bent

Same old lies, sequester the nonbelievers
Don't forgive the ones who trespass against us
Smiling deceivers, painted faces by the wishing well
You don't even trust yourself

Why do we face the same things if change is a constant?
Have we not learned from the past, from the past!

The stillborn star we'll never know
The parent's love that won't let go
The bullied teen that's ready to shoot
A tear and a 21 gun salute
Welcome to the age of misinformation
Seeking control, your reflection's a stranger

Why do we face the same things if change is a constant?
Have we not learned from the past

As we all fall down, the jester still sings to me
As we all fall down, the silver lining screams to me
Descending madness violently

The poisoning of tribes
To the lifeline of Flint
Now the black snake, it crawls deep within sacred grounds
We will never consent

The night-watch man just buying his time
An outcast, a resident, a transient, the punishment
One dollar bill, no table for two
So many questions no one ever asked

As we all fall down, the jester still sings to me
As we all fall down, the silver lining screams to me
Descending madness violently
As we all fall down
As we all fall down, the silver lining screams to me
Descending madness violently

8. Inner Unrest

Hear the voices in your head
Do they speak of grand delusion
Moral truths to comprehend
The soul's contusion, the scarred reunion

And you dream, can you feel me, can you feel me?

Colors change from black to red, I'll never remember
Still you search for the meaning
Strange lies hypnotize me you know, I'll never surrender
And still you scream from madness

And you dream, can you feel me, can you feel me?
Fantasy, dreaming, can you feel me?

There are many truths behind these eyes that you see
On one side love and laughter, the other darkened disbelief
Searching for the sunset clause for my release
Sincerely, Mr. Post-traumatic looking for some peace

And you dream, can you feel me, can you feel me?
Fantasy, dreaming
And you dream, you know I'm dreaming
Fantasy

9. Launder The Conscience

Foresight, casting the stone, no forgiving
Transcribed, immoral objective engaged
What I see, hold them down for not believing, tyranny

Subscribe, question what stares in your eyes
Quick to derive what makes of the sinner or saint
Right or wrong, weak or strong

Walls binding, reason holds the key
Taught violence, reconditioning
Find the solution, destiny
To be free again you justify the sin
Launder the conscience

What I see, hold them down for not believing, tyranny

Walls binding, reason holds the key
Taught violence, reconditioning
Find the solution, destiny
To be free again you justify the sin
Launder the conscience

10. Portrait

All alone still searching
Patiently holding on
She cries and cries
Wondering when will it end
She tries and tries
Hopes and dreams will fade

The sky lost in grey
No light to find your way
Still she pulls through another day

The hurt he wears broken
Lines on his face, emptiness
He cries and cries
Hoping she'll be there again
He tries and tries
Never to surrender

When you're lost and lonely and you're reaching for me

The sky lost in grey
No light to find your way
Only time will tell

The sky lost in grey
No light to find your way

When you're lost and lonely and you're reaching for me
