Long Live

The Chariot Long Live Lyrics

In feathers we came, we learned from you ways
And the tricks up your sleeve, and we grew
But the distance between the earth and our feet
Was the only thing never to change

But it opened our eyes, something they missed
Something they put away back on the shelf
And they can't see it through the immaculate dress
Sing like a stranger instead of the one they call home

We can't believe in everything we hear
Diamonds by association don't count
I am not saying we've got it all figured out
(What good is just one wing?)
Why accept silver when you've given gold
(What good is just one wing?)

Stuck in your ways, tossed about by the sea
Waving around your gun that you'll never shoot

Waste not life's grace
(What good is just one wing?)
Don't show me we are all and the same
(What good is just one wing?)
Stand up turn and draw

I am not them, we are not them
They are not us and we don't relate
We are as much the same as lungs to the sea
Please don't confuse the heart behind the names

Putting their voices on top of the crowd
So that everyone hears they are mighty and great
Maybe I broken and maybe I am shaking
But at least I say what I say and I confess

We were bored from your ways
We were bored from your ways
We, we grew bored from your ways
We grew bored from your ways

We, we want more, more, more, more
We want more, more, more
We can't step away from the ocean
Just because the waves are thick and we press

Well, there is nothing else that we can lose
I put heart upon my sleeve tonight
And I know everything will change it soon
'Cause I can see it in your eyes stuck

You won't be here for very long
If no one hears you, will you still want to sing?
And if the harmonies disappear
They can't take our place

Yes, I believe, I believe, I believe
That she is different than you and I
That she can see things that we can't see
She's alone in this modern life

And my voices forever change
But the notes are still same
And how long till you want to see?
I think we want it out of reach

And if it's something that would never come back
Well, I told you not to look at me
'Cause it's a man made thought with a God-like look
And we know we'll never have to go down

So praises to the war machine
And the distance is growing thin
And the hopelessness of a tiny earth
And a make shift hit rack

'Cause I watched as she walked away
I knew the moment she turned her back
Yes, she could never be the same again
And she is never coming back

I know the moment as she walked away
I know the moment as she walked away
I know the moment as she walked away
I saw the moment as she walked away

In the land of a thousand fathers
She was born on the Fourth of July
Well, that don't mean she was made in America
She was gone in the blink of an eye

She belongs but she acts like a stranger
She collapsed but she ain't free
I am my only devil
'Cause they'll believe what they want to believe

You bet we fight 'til pressed
Against six feet of distance and earth
Yeah, we make mistakes that our fathers have made
And my troubles come up from the earth

My teeth, grit, fierce and I bet you understand, Grace is my
name
The tongues run amok and fangs will breed on fangs
So keep your secrets in the mattress, pray they don't escape
It's the impossible act of building our bridges much faster then
they burn

Stay, 'cause I can't afford, distance is shadowing my heart
What good is a sinner if we haven't got grace?
Can't afford, distance is shadowing my heart
And what good is a sinner if we haven't got grace?

Save the son, my troubles boulevard across the land
Save the son, they keep their secrets in the mattress
Save the son, discard, save the son
I'm trying to keep it in the right hands

Medic, medic, medic
I've given up all my weapons and I've headed home

Well, I can see the words inside your silence
But I can't speak about your pain for you
How long can you burn for anyways?
Turning over and back again with tongues ablaze

Like, like lions without teeth, hungry
Staring at the forest with flames in our eyes
Just talking with the trees

If we can drift long enough, we'll be home
Sails blown by the fire within pushing me to you
And you can live inside of me, sewn together
Breaking and healing, growing and breaking again and again

And, and you're a part of me
You are my home and I'm your home
But I'm no place you'll want to be
So I'm out here again sparks hid behind my teeth

But won't say a word for fear of failure spreading
It takes some of us longer to get to our dead ends
We have old blood stained with loose living
Ran through charcoal hearts to make it red

And we can be on fire again, you and I
Do you want this? Well, say what you want
Say what you mean

We can talk lung to closed ear
Head inside of hand, turning over again together
Cut up for the cheap heat running through our veins
And we can lay brick by broken brick, our ashes pushed in
between

And build this road back home to where we want to be
We are not our own, we are the same

Let fangs give birth to fangs but I can't walk away
Let them breed
Fangs give birth to fangs but I can't walk away
Let them breed


4.The Earth

Lyricist:Stephen Harrison, David Kennedy, Jon Kindler, Joshua Erik
Scogin

Wretched faces, faces, faces, this is nothing new to me
But still, enraptured, don't keep grabbing the wind
This is a loaded gun, this is a loaded question
When can you stop? When is perfection?

Maybe I'm already the one out
Consolidate all of your fears
I, I can't take it, nothing sacred
This is of course as told from the knife

You painted your eyes to make them wide again
I tip my hat to the great, to the classics

This is not my face, this is this week's fear
This is not my voice, they tell you to speak the hesitation
This is not my fate, they can't take it, take it away, take it
away
This is not mine anymore

Take hold, bring it all back down to, to the first love
This is not my fate

All in vain, all in vain, all in vain, all in vain
All in vain, all in vain, all in vain, all in vain


5.The Audience

Lyricist:Stephen Harrison, David Kennedy, Jon Kindler, Joshua Erik
Scogin

She raises up her voice
She raises up her voice
To the public, she will speak
She makes her way to stardom

May the warning on your head
Be a chain unto your neck
Don't give in, don't give in
'Come along with us', they say

Let's lie in wait for someone
Let's waylay on their soul
Lets swallow them alive
To the bottomless pit they wait

They take everything they can bleed dry
And they fill up their house with waste
So don't stay and make believe that they are home
So don't stay and make believe that they are home

Don't go along, don't beg for blood
Don't set your feet, don't beg to bleed
Don't go along, don't beg for blood
Don't set your feet, don't beg to bleed

These men lay and wait for their own blood to rise up
Don't set the trap for everyone to see it
These men waylay on themselves
Beast, I never sang along to the beast

They shake inside their blood
We pass the storm, don't go, refrain
For, for I never knew your name
From a whisper she raises her voice to me

Unsung

Barely only breathing
My differences, my fight comes into the light
And to the shadows that cannot exist without the light
Please refer to the end of the page

Stay with us, standing alone
Come with us, stayed is a lonely ghost

Disappointed, I know you are
Disappointed, I know you are
Disappointed, I know you are
Disappointed, I know you are

Disappointed, I know you are
Disappointed, I know you are
Disappointed, I know you are
Disappointed, I know you are


7.The Heavens

Well, if dancing is a revolution
Grab the kids, grab the neighbors alike
If I had a gun for every time we spoke
I could arm the whole world and take it for ransom
Dare not would you ask of me

We cannot delete it just because of the trend
Tossed about by the waves of the sea
Cannot delete it just because of the fight that is here
When we say it, we mean it

Cannot delete it, we are not here
'Cause coat tails rain before the love
Cannot delete it just because of the truth
That rains and shakes inside


8.The City

Lyricist:Jeffrey Carter Albrecht, Josh Beiser, Jonathan Keller Harbin,

This is only the start
You're only opening a book
You're only heard the first line
Of what's going to take a little while
It's going to take a little while

I hope you don't hold your breath
For they revolt like a choir
They say the language is dead
Well, then why do we speak?
Why do we speak? Why?

I hope you understand that my brain is fixed
My brain is fixed

Into the next town, this is only a revolt
Into the next town, this is only a revolt
Into the next town, this is only a revolt
Into the next town, this is only a revolt

Enough is enough because we cannot be late
Basically you've been defined as unworthy of love

And I confess, and I confess
That I had placed in my heart
The same address that I paint with my words
You're free, don't fear, this is just a revolt

This is only a revolt into the next town
This is only a revolt into the next town
This is only a revolt into the next town
This is only a revolt into the next town

This is only a revolt into the next town
This is only a revolt into the next town
This is only a revolt into the next town
This is only a revolt into the next town
This is only a revolt

Enough is enough 'cause we cannot be late
Calm rose, violent wind
The only surrender tonight, shall not be our own

They cannot escape, one if by land, two if by sea
Because I saved my money but it can't save me
And maybe there's blood from the past
But it's not from me

Oh, they can take away one man
They can take away his mic
But they cannot take us all
No, they can't dig a hole the right size
To fit all of our dreams

So they can't bury me, they can't bury me
Oh, we can't hope that somebody else take our place
No, we can't hope that somebody else take our place

History books read with all of our names
Be it blood, be it ink but at least we were free
This is only but a fraction of what I've got to say
But it must be said, it must be said

If I leave this earth tonight
May it be said that I spoke my peace
Yeah, I spoke with the wrath of its grace

Calm rose, come violent wind
Oh, we stand hand in hand
And we walk without fear
This is a revolution


9.Calvin Makenzie

Make no mistakes, my voice is clear. And though it may be a
subtle threat:Mayflower, swing low, because your love has such
few regrets.
We cannot distinguish all of the world. So celebrate and sing
along. It is a gift. It's where I belong.
Straight down and to the east, I place my hands out in front of
me. We are ALL the crowd. To the sweet by and by I come.
To the crowd be blessed. I swear I won't let you choke. You give
me nothing but rest and a loving hand. I belong to the war.
I belong to your side. I cant hold my breath but I swear I think
this is the start. That's the nature of the beast.
If we have nothing left but death, it's a clear but subtle
threat.
'The south is where I lay my sword and the stage is where my
heart will rest'.
WE are the crowd.

This language is dead.
