A Thousand Suns

Linkin Park A Thousand Suns Lyrics
1.The Requiem( )

God save us everyone
Will we burn
inside the fires of a thousand suns?

For the sins of our hand
Sins of our tongue
Sins of our father
Sins of our young

God save us everyone

Will we burn
inside the fires of a thousand suns?

For the sins of our hand
Sins of our tongue
Sins of our father
Sins of our young


2.The Radiance

(Interlude)
We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried.
Most people were silent.

I remembered the line from the Hindu cripture, the
Bhagavad-Gita;
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince
that he should do his duty, and to impress him,
takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.'

I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.


3.Burning In The Skies

I use the deadwood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies
I filled my cup with the rising of the sea
And poured it out in an ocean of derby

I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve

I held my breath as clouds began to form
But you were lost in the beating of the storm
But in the end we were meant to be apart
In separate chambers of the human heart

I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve

It's in the black and bones
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve

I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve

The pain is mine alone
For bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve

What I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
Here's the dead wood to make the fire last
The blood of innocence burning in the skies


4.Empty Spaces

(Interlude)


5.When They Come For Me

I am not a pattern that we follow
The pill that I'm on is a tough one to swallow
I'm not a criminal, not a role model
Not a born leader, I'm a tough act to follow

I am not the fortune and the game
Or the same person telling you to forfeit the game
I came in the ring like a dog on a chain
And found out the underbelly's sicker than it seems
And it seems ugly but it can get worse
Because even a blueprint is a gift and a curse
Because once you got a theory of how the thing works
Everybody wants the next thing to be like the first
And I'm not a robot, I'm not a monkey
I will not dance even if the beat's funky
Opposite of lazy, far from a punk
Y'all ought to stop talking start trying to catch up
motherfucker

And all the people say
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
Try and catch up motherfucker
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)

Lauryn said money changes situation
Big said it increase the complication
Kaine said don't step I ain't the one
Chuck said an uzi weighs a motherfucking ton

And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me
Rocking every stage and every place that they brought me
I'm awfully underrated but pay me to correct it
And so it ain't mistaken I'm gonna state it for the record
I am the opposite of where
I got this a weak
Opposite of slack synonym of heat
Sending them a crack closest to a peak
Far from a punk
Ya'll ought to stop talking start trying to catch up
motherfucker

And all the people say
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
Try and catch up motherfucker
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)

But when they come for me
Come for me, I'll be gone
But when they come for me
Come for me, I'll be gone
Oh when they come for me
Come for me, I'll be gone
And all the people say
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
Try to catch up motherfucker
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
And all the people say
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
Try to catch up motherfucker
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)


6.Robot Boy

You say you're not going to fight
'Cause no one will fight for you

That you think there's not enough love
And no one to give it to

That you're sure you've hurt for so long
You've got nothing left to lose

So you say you're not going to fight
'Cause no one will fight for you

You say the weight of the world
Has kept you from letting go

And you think compassion's a flaw
But you'll never let it show

And you're sure you've hurt in a way
That no one will ever know

But someday the weight of the world
Will give you strength to go

Hold on the weight of the world
Will give you the strength to go

So hold on the weight of the world
Will give you the strength to go

So hold on the weight of the world
Will give you the strength to go

Just hold on the weight of the world
Will give you the strength to go

(Interlude)


8.Waiting For The End

This is not the end
This is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot Rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone
And the violent rhythm
Though the words sound steady
Something emptys within em

We say yeah With fists fly up in the air Yeah
Like we're holding onto something
That's invisible there
Cuz we're livin at the mercy
Of the pain and the fear
Until we dead it Forget it Let it all disappear


Waiting for the end to come
Wishing I had strengh to stand
This is not what I had planned
It's out of my control

Flying at the speed of light
Thoughts were spinning in my head
So many things were left unsaid
It's hard to let you go

I know what it takes to move on People Move On
I know how it feels to lie
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got

Sitting in an empty room
Trying to forget the past
This was never meant to last
I wish it wasn't so

I know what it takes to move on People Move On
I know how it feels to lie
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got

What was left When that fire was gone
I thought it felt alright
But that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm
And trying to figure out
What it's like moving on
And I don't even know
What kind of things I said
My mouth kept moving
And my mind went dead
Picking up the pieces Now where to begin
The hardest part of ending Is starting again

All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got

This is not the end
This is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot Rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone
(I'm holding on to what I haven't got)
And the voilent rhythm
Though the words sound steady
Something emptys within em


We say yeah With fists fly up in the air Yeah
Like we're holding onto something
That's invisible there
Cuz we're livin at the mercy
(I'm holding on to what I haven't got)
Of the pain and the fear
Until we dead it Forget it Let it all disappear



9.Blackout

I'm stuck in this bed you made
Alone in this sinking feeling
I saw through the words you said
To the secrets you've been keeping
It's written upon your face
All the lies and they cut so deeply
You can't get enough
You take and take and take
And never say no
You got to get out of sight
You push it back down
You push it back down No
You'll never get out of sight
You push it back down Blackout
Blood in your eye

You say that it's not your fault
And said that I am mistaken
You said it's not what it seems
No remorse for the trust your breaking
You run to the back you fall
Suffocate in the mess your making
You can't get enough
You take and take and take and take and take
Fuck it are you listening No
You got to get out of sight
You push it back down
You push it back down No
You'll never get out of sight
You push it back down
You push it back down No
You got to get out of sight
You push it back down
You push it back down No
You'll never get out of sight
You push it back down Blackout
Blood in your eye

Blackout Blood in your eye
You push it back down
Push it back
You push it back down
Blood in your eye
Blackout
Blood in your eye
Blackout
Blood in your eye
Blackout
Blood in your eye

Floating down as colors fill the light
We look up from the ground in fields of painted white
Floating up you pass us in the night
The future gazing out a past to overwrite
So come down far below
We've been waiting to correct the things you know
Come down far below
We've been waiting to correct what you've let go
Come down below....


10.Wretches And Kings(King)


There's a time, when the operation of the machine becomes so
odious.
Makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part,
you can't even passively take part.
And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the
wheels,
upon the levers,
upon all the apparatus. And you've got to make it stop!


To save face how low can you go
Talk a lot of game but yet you don't know
Static on the way make us all say whoa
The people up top push the people down low
Get down
And obey every word
Steady getting mine if you haven't yet heard
Wanna take what I got don't be absurd
Don't fight the power nobody gets hurt
If you haven't heard yet then I'm letting you know
There ain't shit we don't run when the guns unload
And no one make a move unless my people say so
Got everything outta control
Now everybody go

Steel unload final blow
We the animals take control
Hear us now clear and true
Wretches and kings we come for you

So keep pace how slow can you go
Talk a lot of shit and yet you don't know
Fire on the way make you all say whoa
The people up top and the people down low
Get down
And I'm running it like that
The front of the attack is exactly where I'm at
Somewhere in between the kick and the hi hat
The pen and the contract
The pitch and the contact
So get with the combat
I'm letting 'em know
There ain't shit you can say to make me back down no
So push the button let the whole thing blow
Spinning everything outta control
Now everybody go

(Steel unload final blow
We the animals take control
Hear us now clear and true
Wretches and kings we come for you)x2

(From the front to the back and the side to side
If you fear what I feel put 'em up real high) x6


11.Wisdom, Justice, And Love

(Interlude)
I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight
Because my conscience leaves me no other choice
A true revolution of values will lay hands on the world order
and say of war
This way of settling difference is not just
This business of burning human beings with napalm
Filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows
Of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into veins of people
normally humane.
Of sending men home from the dark and bloody battlefields
physically handicapped and psychologically deranged


12.Iridescent

When you were standing in the wake of devastation
When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
And with the cataclysm raining down
Insides crying 'Save me now,'
You were there, impossibly alone

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go...
Let it go...

And in a burst of light that blinded every angel
As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
You felt the gravity of tempered grace
Falling into empty space
No one there to catch you in their arms

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go...
Let it go...

(Instrumental)

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go...
Let it go...
Let it go...
Let it go...
Let it go...
Let it go...

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go...
Let it go...

14.The Catalyst

God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under a loaded gun
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun
No
God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under a loaded gun
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun
No...

And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light
God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under a loaded gun
Oh...
Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hands
The sins of our tongue
The sins of our fathers
The sins of our young
No

God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hands
The sins of our tongue
The sins of our fathers
The sins of our young
No...

And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light
God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
Oh...
Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

Lift me up
Let me go
Lift me up
Let me go

God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under a loaded gun
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun


15.The Messenger

When you feel you're alone
cut off from this cruel world
your instincts telling you to run

listen to your heart
those angel voices
they'll sing to you
they'll be your guide
back home
when life leaves us blind
love keeps us kind
it keeps us kind !

when you suffered it all
and your spirit is breaking
you're growing desperate from the fight

Remember your loved
and you always will be
this melody will always bring
you right back home

When life leaves us blind
Love, keeps us kind!
When life leaves us blind
Love keeps us kind!

Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhh!
Ohhhhhhh Ohhhhhh!
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhh!
