SHIHAD LYRICS

1. The Final Year of the Universe

This is no mistake
Turn to look to the future
Hope it's not too late
Finally get it to go

Did you forget yourself?
There's always one hand feeding the other
And if there's nothing else
Well then there's nothing else
You can forget yourself

Stand up

I am the fire in the air
I'm in the cracks in the earth
I am the final year
Of this universe
This universe

Don't let it go to waste
You know that some things have no solutions
And if there's no mistakes
You should forgive yourself
That belongs to no-one else

Stand up

I am the fire in the air
I'm in the cracks in the earth
I am the final year
Of this universe
This universe
This universe
This universe

This is no mistake
Turn to look to the future
Hope it's not too late
Finally get it to go

I am the fire in the air
I'm the cracks in the earth
I am the silence you hear
From the universe
This universe
This universe
This universe

2. Lead or Follow

Day in, day out
It's just light and sound
You've been hanging around
But that's over now

You learn a lie
Feel dead inside
And it's in your eyes
You won't survive

Want to live forever
Total system error
Maybe I'm a failure
Maybe I'll be greater

You get carried along
And you can't feel it go

You won't feel it go
'Til you get back up again
You won't feel it go
Lead or follow
Lead or follow
Lead or follow

Nothing better to do
Feeling born inside you
Major system failure
Maybe see you later

You get carried along
And you can't feel it go

You won't feel it go
'Til you get back up again
You won't feel it go
Lead or follow
Lead or follow
Lead or follow
Lead or follow
Lead or follow
Lead or follow
Lead or follow
Lead or follow
Lead or follow

Day in, day out
It's just light and sound
Been hanging around
But that's over now

You learn a lie
Feel dead inside
And it's in your eyes
You won't survive
You won't survive

You won't feel it go
'Til you get back up again
You won't feel it go
Lead or follow
Lead or follow
Lead or follow
Lead or follow
Lead or follow
Lead or follow
Lead or follow
Lead or follow
Lead or follow

3. I'm a Void

Lay back
I'm gonna save the world and blow myself to pieces
Lay back
I'm gonna find a way to shut it down, this heart

The doctors say I'm displaying a lack of empathy
I've worked so hard to get it to where I can not feel anything

I'm a void
I'm a void
I'm a void
I'm a void

Patience
It's gonna take a while to pull it back together
Patience
It's like a puzzle where I don't have all the parts

I'm getting used to being confused
And it is something to be sure
I'm gonna take myself to a place
Where I can't hear you anymore

I'm a void
I'm a void
I'm a void
I'm a void

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la

Came through nothing
And went through nothing
I'm a void
I'm a void
Came through nothing
And went through nothing
I'm a void
I'm a void
Came through nothing
And went through nothing
I'm a void
I'm a void
Came through nothing
And went through nothing
I'm a void
I'm a void

I'm a void
I'm a void
I'm a void (patience)
I'm a void (patience)

La, la, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la,

4. In the Future

Day and night
Through every eye
Always see a different story
Some are dark
And some are light
While others itch to build an army

I've figured out how to relate
I found the answer in an auto-email
Said settle down or dominate
It said, settle down or dominate

It's good to see you're so fired up bare
But we're not gonna stop
'Til you all you end up
Claiming "I win"

'Cause in the future
We will all be beautiful
In the future
We will be unstoppable

Was thinking I could make it right
But realised that that's a folly
So disappeared into the night
To be continued by a different story
They're breeding/brooding(?) dead to deviate(?)
Make it back you might ignore the detail

So settle down we'll dominate
So settle down while we dominate

It's good to see you're so fired up bare
But we're not gonna stop
Til you all you end up
Claiming "I win"

'Cause in the future
We will all be beautiful
In the future
We will be unstoppable

Gotta get out the way
Keep moving
Balancing all the blame
Gotta get out the way
Keep moving
Balancing all the blame

Sinner, mother, liar
Dead end, dead end, dead end
Get up, line up, fire
Say it, say it, say it
Sinner, mother, liar
Dead end, dead end, dead end
Get up, line up, fire
Say it, say it, say it

I've figured out to relate
I found the answer in an auto-email
Said settle down or dominate
It said, settle down or dominate

In the future
We will all be beautiful
In the future
We will be unstoppable

'Cause in the future
We will all be beautiful
In the future
We will be unstoppable

Gotta get out the way
Keep moving
Balancing all the blame
Gotta get out the way
Keep moving
Balancing all the blame

In the future
We will all be beautiful
In the future
We will be unstoppable

5. Sleepeater

Balanced on the edge of a knife
Sleepeater slowly turning
Break it down, set it alight
He's here to start it burning

Waiting for you in the bedroom
Knows when you're alone at night
Want to stay awake forever
Hoping you can keep it tight
Everything you ever valued
Know that you will have to fight
Wanna stay awake forever

And I will take you away from this emergency
At the end of the day you're your own worst enemy

Brothers take your sisters and hide
We see the storm clouds coming
The differences between you and I
Have already
Prepared and started running

Waiting for you in the bedroom
Knows when you're alone at night
Want to stay awake forever
Hoping you can keep it tight
Everything you ever valued
Know that you will have to fight
Wanna stay awake forever

And I will take you away from this emergency
At the end of the day you're your own worst enemy
And it can take you to heaven, put you through hell
Just as long as you don't look down
We can do it together, into my arms
Know that nothing can hurt you now

Sleep
Sleepeater
Sleep

It can take you to heaven, put you through hell
Just as long as you don't look down
We can do it together, into my arms
Know that nothing can hurt you now

And I will take you away from this emergency
At the end of the day you're your own worst enemy
And it can take you to heaven, put you through hell
Just as long as you don't look down
We can do it together, into my arms
Know that nothing can hurt you now

6. Ignite

This was you and me, a memory
What better place to start
Somewhere in between the final scene
We've fallen so far
And you can't go fixing everything without a heart
You can run and hide but you can't stay where you are

So hold on, you will meet your soul tonight
'Cause nothing else can help you set it right
With no one to hold your feet up to the fire
You're left waiting for the moment to ignite

Life's bigger now, brighter now
The past is dead and done
You would work it out
But don't know how to tell anyone
Yeah you hope and plead
Your questions screaming at the dark
Just waiting for the answer
Waiting for the answer

So hold on, you will meet your soul tonight
'Cause nothing else can help you set it right
With no one to hold your feet up to the fire
You're left waiting for the moment
Waiting for the moment
You're left waiting for the moment to arrive

Everyone's in love with you
And everybody cares
If every word you say is true is anybody's guess
Everyone's in love with you
And everybody stares
And after all they've done for you there's still nobody there
Everyone's in love with you
And everybody cares
If every word you say is true is anybody's guess
Everyone's in love with you
And everybody stares
And after all they've done for you there's still nobody there

So hold on you will meet your soul tonight
'Cause nothing else can help you set it right
With no one to hold your feet up to the fire
You're left waiting for the moment to ignite

So hold on you will meet your soul tonight
'Cause nothing else can help you set it right
With no one to hold your feet up to the fire
You're left waiting for the moment
Waiting for the moment
You're left waiting for the moment to ignite

7. Engage

From the camera
Straight to video
You could give 'em what you got
Or not at all

When you're hollow
You won't even know
The view from here
Goes on and on, and on, and on

Everything was edit out(?)
I guess you won't engage
But your missed scene(?) is broken down
Sure that it was working yesterday
It was working yesterday

Your memory's become a cage
Ain't gonna ever be the same
Playtime is over now
Playtime is over now

So tell us
What you really know
'Cause you're perfect for the job
Or near enough
All around you people come and go
And these days keep dragging on and on and on

Everything was edit out(?)
I guess you won't engage
But your missed scene(?) is broken down
Sure that it was working yesterday
It was working yesterday

Your memory's become a cage
Ain't gonna ever be the same
It falls apart the more you think about it
Now you're left to re-engage
Playtime is over now
Playtime is over now

Got a secret
But you know that you won't keep it
Try and tell it but you know they won't believe
You'd give anything to make them understand how you're alone
Alone, alone, alone, yeah

Your memory's become a cage
Ain't gonna ever be the same
It falls apart the more you think about it
Now you're left to re-engage
Playtime is over now (playtime is over now)
Playtime is over now (playtime is over now)
Playtime is over now (playtime is over now)
Playtime is over now (playtime is, it's over now)

From the camera (it's over now)
Straight to video

8. This Lonely Fire

There's a streetlight faded for the day
There's a bombsite to be swept away

I will take the day off
I will take the day
Let the worry dissolve
Gonna celebrate
I will take the day off
I will take the day
I will take the day off

Because I've done everything you told me to
There's no need to act surprised
All my life I've done what I was meant to do
Never thought about asking why

And your own desire will let you know that it's true
There's a lonely fire replacing the old with the new

Replacing the old with the new
Replacing the old with the new
Replacing the old with the new
Replacing the old with the new

As the city fills with light and noise
While the whole world waits to be destroyed

I will take the day off
I will take the day
Let the worry dissolve
Gonna celebrate
I will take the day off
I will take the day
I will take the day off

Because I've done everything you told me to
There's no need to act surprised
All my life I've done what I was meant to do
Never thought about asking why

And your own desire will let you know that it's true
There's a lonely fire replacing the old with the new

Replacing the old with the new
Replacing the old with the new
Replacing the old with the new
Replacing the old with the new

I can't remember my own name
It's been forever, now I'm back again

And I cannot believe all the things we deny
Waiting for others to make it right
Even when it was clear the dream wasn't true
Wouldn't admit to the one thing left to do

Replacing the old with the new
Replacing the old with the new
Replacing the old with the new
Replacing the old with the new

There's a streetlight faded for the day
There's a bombsite to be swept away

Because I've done everything you told me to
There's no need to act surprised
All my life I've done what I was meant to do
Never thought about asking why

And your own desire will let you know that it's true
There's a lonely fire replacing the old with the new

Replacing the old with the new
Replacing the old with the new
Replacing the old with the new
Replacing the old with the new

9. Nemesis (Dark Star)

Little cancer you've got the answer
It's a disaster for all to see

Now everybody's got it in for me
Everybody's got a place to be
Everybody's got it in for me
Everybody's got a place to be

There you go
Well it's broken now you own it
There you go
You'll be out there all alone

Just let it go

It's a total headfuck
Now they think you suck
Not gonna get stuck
Not what you think

Now everybody's got it in for me
Everybody's got a place to be
Everybody's got it in for me
Everybody's got a place to be

There you go
Well now, I'm not blaming no one
There you go
You can win this on your own

Because I thought I'd be alright
My ammunition was low
And I'll be charging it all night
But this bitch won't let it go

Won't let it go

It doesn't concern nobody else
But you don't care
You're gonna destroy the ones you tell
Odd(?) you dare
Doesn't matter who falls along the way
If you get your man
Even if there's no truth to what you say
You will make them understand, yeah

Little cancer, you've got the answer
It's a disaster for all to see

Now everybody got it in for me
Everybody got it in for me

Everybody's got it in for me
Everybody's got a place to be
Everybody's got it in for me
Everybody's got a place to be

There you go
Well it's broken now you own it
There you go
You'll be out there all alone

There you go
Well now I'm not blaming no one
There you go
You can win this on your own

Just let it go
Let it go
Just let it go

Little cancer, got the answer
Little cancer, got the answer

Now everybody knows

10. Cold Heart

And it's not about the way you're living
The future's ours and the past -- just let it go
If you're not happy with the clues that you're given
If you're not happy you should say so

Let it be tonight
Let it be tonight
Let it be tonight
Let it be tonight

And I don't have to care
Suddenly it's where you are
What happens over there
It's only for this cold heart

Getting high was a mistake
I know it hurt to make you feel something
But now you're gone, oh for Pete's sake
I wish I had the time you waste

Let it be tonight
Let it be tonight
Let it be tonight
Let it be tonight

And I don't have to care
Suddenly it's where you are
What happens over there
It's only from this heart
I thought it would've shown
Suddenly it's where you are
But you already know
It's only for this cold heart

It's a constant
Of whatever
Gotta wake up and pull it together
Have your mother kiss it better
It hurts 'cos it don't even matter
Yeah

Let it be tonight
Let it be tonight
Let it be tonight
Let it be tonight

And I don't have to care
Suddenly it's where you are
What happens over there
It's only from this heart
I thought it would've shown
Suddenly it's where you are
But you already know
It's only for this cold heart
