Revelations

Audioslave Revelations Lyrics
1.Revelations

You know what to do, you know what I did
Since you know everything just clue me in
I am such a wreck, I am such a mess
I know what I know,
why don't you fill in the rest?
I will bring you down, I will make it bad
While you're feelin' proud,
why don't you help me?

Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now
Your revelations
Cut me in, I don't wanna live without
Your revelations, revelations

You know what to say, you know what I said
You know what I dream sleeping in my bed
You hold all the keys, you know all the roads
Why don't you guide me in,
if I'm such a lost soul?
I'm spinnin' 'round, I will make you ill
Since I'm so broken down,
why don't you fix me?

Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now
(I wouldn't know by now)
Your revelations
Cut me in, I don't wanna live without
(Don't wanna live without)
Your revelations

I am haunted when I am sleeping
Try to give without receiving
It's in the applebite
(It's in the applebite)
It's in the days and nights
(It's in the days and nights)
In the afterlife we'll reap

Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now
(I wouldn't know by now)
Your revelations
Cut me in, I don't wanna live without
(Don't wanna live without)
Your revelations
Such a shame, such a shame
that I wouldn't know by now
Cut me in, I don't wanna live without
(Don't wanna live without)
Your revelations
Revelations


2.One and the Same

Well they don't hate you,
you know they love you
But they're gonna come kill you
They don't mean you any harm
It's just what they do
Could be you're mother
Could be you're father
Or you're best friend in the world

But just like blood and rain,
love and pain are one and the same
(One and the same)
Just like blood and rain,
love and pain are one and the same
(One and the same)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

You wear a mask with a target
Keep you're enemies closer
You fall in love from a great height,
now the easy part's over
Choose you're battles, not you're soldiers
You know they'll show their colors

But just like blood and rain,
love and pain are one and the same
(One and the same)
Just like blood and rain,
love and pain are one and the same
(One and the same)
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Just like blood and rain,
love and pain are one and the same
Just like blood and rain,
love and pain are one and the same
(One and the same)
Just like blood and rain,
love and pain are one and the same
(One and the same)
Just like blood and rain,
love and pain are one and the same
(One and the same)
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey!


3.Sound of a Gun

In the here and the now
I'll wait down among the young and the old
With the moon and the ground
I play with my childern in my home
This is for the daughters and sons
of forgotten one's learning how to stand
This is for the innocent
unknown's buried in the sand

All running from a sound of a gun
Running from the sound of a gun
'till you're weary
Running from the sound of a gun
Running from the sound of a gun

From the crack in the blackness
I'll wake, it's getting closer every night
In my city the playground is a battleground
between the wrong and the right
I could run free as a child
I was safe and wild, naked, and unarmed
Now I'm gone and safe in my home
but some will never stop

Running from the sound of a gun
Running from the sound of a gun
'till they're weary
Running from the sound of a gun
Running from the sound of a gun

The open mouth of the city
swallowed up the town
On that same old concrete
that I still walk down
And it seemed they put a shine
on this place when I was young
Well maybe I just don't see it now

Running from the sound of a gun
Running from the sound of a gun
'till I'm weary
Running from the sound of a gun
Running from the sound of a gun
Hey!

I'm running from the sound of a gun
I'm running from the sound of a gun
I'm running from the sound of a gun
I'm running from,
running from the sound of a gun


4.Until We Fall

I walk the streets where I regret, ah-ah-ah
I stood along and watched myself fall apart
And said the voices in my head, ah-ah-ah
Slipped through the chain link of a broken heart

And when I'm tired of feeling black
Spread the wings upon you're back
Take us high above it all
Stroke you're feathers
'till we fall back down again, ah-ah-ah

But everything that sounded good, ah-ah-ah
I understand that I'll be misunderstood

And when I'm tired of feeling black
Spread the wings upon you're back
Take us high above it all
Stroke you're feathers 'till we fall
Until we fall, until we fall back down again
Yeah, back down again
What do you feel before you think?
What do you see before you blink?
Who do you battle in you're dreams?
Who strokes you're feathers 'till you scream?

And when I'm tired of feeling black
Spread the wings upon you're back
Take us high above it all
And stroke you're feathers 'till we fall
Until we fall, until we fall back down again
Yeah, back down again


5.Original Fire

The original fire has died and gone,
but the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone,
but the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone,
but the riot inside moves on

The original fire has died and gone,
but the riot inside moves on

With a pen in one hand taking us and drugged on kerosene
'84 and 5 would find us something to believe
Right or wrong with dirty hands on wires
Singing songs in dischord choirs
Screaming in braille no temptress prize
could ever yield anything so real

The original fire has died and gone,
but the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone,
but the riot inside moves on

Golden soldiers born much older
than they'll ever live to be
Diving into a sea of hands in a long forgotten city
Here the rain falls ever after
The swinging vines hang dead in rafters
Blood rush to your head
induces of laughter endlessly

The original fire has died and gone,
but the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and long gone,
but the riot inside moves on

Can't explain that it was something to see
Can't contain so something ever real
Ever real

Can't explain it was something to see
Can't contain so something ever real
Ever real

The original fire has died and gone,
but the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone,
but the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone,
but the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone,
but the riot inside moves on


6.Broken City

My city sleeps by the side of a freeway,
the city scraps
And winter time she wore a yellow coat
Now there's nothin' on her back
If a building falls you wouldn't care
to notice unless you were in it
Then no one cares about climbin' stairs,
nothin' at the top no more
Outside trippin' in the broken city
Outside trippin' in the broken city,
I watch a building crack
Outside trippin' in the broken city
Outside kickin' in the broken city,
there's nothin' wrong with that
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo,
doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

Now the snow falls down
like it's fallin' on an ocean
Dead and empty by the railroad tracks
where they used to go and come
Now they don't come back
You can heal the rust,
goin' up the throughways
Down the alleys
where they stole this town from the frontier
I can see 'em tryin' to steal it back
Outside trippin' in the broken city
(Outside trippin' in the broken city)
Outside trippin' in the broken city,
I watch a building crack
Outside kickin' in the broken city
(Outside trippin' in the broken city)
Outside trippin' in the broken city,
there's nothin' wrong with that
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo,
doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo,
doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

Now the sun won't shine on this part of the map
Anymore
When it's cold outside
I see it hide behind the smokestacks
No thin roses, no goldrush,
no miner, no revolution they'd hire
And the shipyard is a graveyard,
no one will be trying to find him
Outside trippin' in the broken city
(Outside trippin' in the broken city)
Outside kickin' in the broken city,
I watch a building crack
Outside trippin' in the broken city
(Outside trippin' in the broken city)
Outside kickin' in the broken city,
there's nothin' wrong with that
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
(There's nothin' wrong with that)
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo do
(Outside trippin' in the broken city)
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo,
doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
(Outside trippin' in the broken city)
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo,
doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo


7.Somedays

Somedays, somedays,
somedays just ain't so easy

Wake up, look around
just before you're feet hit the ground
Where they make the oil and street,
is where you stand and where you sleep
Black and whites along the lights,
plain clothes and Miranda Rights
At the right place but in the wrong life,
somedays just ain't so easy
Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays)
just ain't so easy
Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays)
somedays (Somedays)
Just ain't so easy

It's not the fault of anyone
as we revolve around the sun
We sleep beneath the same sky
but we all see it through different eyes
So if you go or if you stay,
standin' still or if you walk away
If you bend or if you break
somedays just ain't so easy
Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays)
just ain't so easy
Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays)
somedays (Somedays)
Just ain't so easy,
they just ain't so easy
Oh yeah

Someone may have done you right
Nobody say it's so easy, yeah
I don't care for somedays

Someone may have done you right or done you wrong
Or kept it down from the day you were born
There's no need to apologize
for the riot in your eyes
Somedays just ain't so easy
Hey! Hey! Hey!

Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays)
just ain't so easy
Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays)
somedays (Somedays)
Just ain't so easy


8.Shape of Things to Come

Well it's late in the hour
and a few more grains of sand will fall
On the colorful flowers
grown upon the dust and moss
Now I feel the worst is near
I hold them close and count they're years
And pray a ray of light appears
To shine down on us here

Breakdown in the shape of things to come
But I move along like a soldier
And I say now when all is said and done
It's not ours to break,
the shape of things to come

There's a crack in the clouds,
but only for a moment now
Like an owl looking out,
the blue sky spies the roads we will go down
I wonder what they hold for us,
I hold my family to my breast
I feel the worst and hope the best
will come to see us blessed

Breakdown in the shape of things to come
But I move along like a soldier
And I say now when all is said and done
It's not ours to break,
the shape of things to come
Hey! Hey!

Give me one more try in what I'll change
I won't deny the thought is strange
I've done my best and now we'll ? myself

Breakdown in the shape of things to come
But I move along like a soldier
And I say now when all is said and done
It's not ours to break,
the shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come


9.Jewel of the Summertime

When I was 18 I didn't know pain
when the sun was high
Burnt face, shadow's erased
and I knew I'd be alright
They tried to hurt me, uh-huh
Somethin' blinded me, uh-huh
That reminded me, uh-huh
Of a better space and time, miles away

The jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time

When I turned 21
I saw the sun pulling out of sight
All that I met
were dark silhouette's stumbling in the night
But we collided, uh-huh
In a ?, uh-huh
Got alot on me, uh-huh
Now I'm bathing in the bright of divided rays

Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
Time, time

I left that behind me, uh-huh
But somethin' blinded me, uh-huh
You reminded me, uh-huh
Of a better space and time, miles away

Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time

A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time

A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time

Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time


10.Wide Awake

You can a look a hurricane right in the eye
1200 people dead or left to die
Follow the leaders,
we're in an eye for an eye we'll all be blind
Death for murder and this I'm sure
in this uncertain time

So come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime,
of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake

Down on the road the world is floating by
The poor and undefended left behind
While you're somewhere trading lives for oil
As if the whole world were blind, hey
So come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime
of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake

Come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime
of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake
Wide awake! Wide awake!
Wide awake! Wide awake!


11.Nothing Left to Say But Goodbye

Just like a rescue of a stray dog in the rain I was
Hungry when you found me
And you could tell by my tail
and my rib cage what was
Once around me

I've been chased by a rain cloud
I was lost and nearly drowned and kicked around
But now I'm found and I won't run away

Bless your heart you gave me a home and a new start
And I will leave you never
Sleep at your feet and stay guard
at you're front door
I will keep things together

I've been chased by a rain cloud
I was lost and nearly drowned and kicked around
But now I'm found and I won't run away

I killed myself, threw away my mental health
but nobody was blinking an eye
Backyard, basement, falling on the pavement
Nothing Left to Say But Goodbye
Nothing Left to Say But Goodbye

It's true I ran away before but be sure
I am no tail-chaser
I know a good thing when it throws me a bone
I'm you're best friend forever

I've been chased by a rain cloud
I was lost and nearly drowned and kicked around
But now I'm found and I won't run away


12.Moth

Thought I was different
and it seems I'm just the same
As a game I put my hand over the flame
I thought I was smarter as I flew into the sun
But it turned out the way it does with everyone

Oh, oh
I don't fly around you're fire anymore
I don't fly around you're fire anymore
Burnin', fallin' down so many times before
I don't fly around you're fire anymore

I love the heat I love the things that I forgot
I love the strings that tie me down and cut me off
I was a king, I was a moth
with painted wings made of cloth
When did the flame burn so high and get so hot?

Oh, oh
I don't fly around you're fire anymore
I don't fly around you're fire anymore
Burnin', fallin' down so many times before
I don't fly around, fly around
Fly around

I don't fly around you're fire anymore
I don't fly around you're fire anymore
Burnin', fallin' down so many times before
I won't fly around, fly around

I won't fly around you're fire anymore
I don't fly around you're fire anymore
Burnin', fallin' down so many times before
I don't fly around, fly around
Oh
Fly around, oh
