#30: Say Your Prayers - The Wedding

Say Your Prayers
The Wedding

Velocity: Medium [03:36]
Genre: Rock



Look at you now, just standing there like you think you’re something.
The lights are up and the crowd is looking your way.
Waiting for what you have to say.
Go ahead boy give them a little taste of hypocrisy, maybe a hint of blasphemy.
Whatever you’re preaching it isn’t me.

You wanna walk with me, do ya?
You wanna walk with me.

If you love me then just love me, don’t you give me pretty words.
Lay your life down at the altar.
Let me see how serious you are.

These people don’t look to me no more they’ve got their idols in various forms.
With lust in their eyes they crave for more.
Take their place with the corporate carnivores.
Oh, keep your focus for the day will come when everyone will give account for what they’ve done; make me proud.
Make me proud my son.

Look at this broken world; look at my children.
Get ready go; sing to me the right song.

Look up say your prayers on the steps of the capitol.
Look up say your prayers, on your knees.
Look up say your prayers.
Look up say your prayers.

You wanted it to be like you always thought it would
but all you seem to accomplish is the opposite.

I see a world in need out on the wire
I'll take a leap of faith into the fire

I'm going over the edge now,
yeah I'm ready to reach out

I wanna be Dangerous,
unashamed to proclaim your name.
I wanna be Dangerous,
I can't hide or deny what's inside;
I wanna be Dangerous.

So many times I fail to even try,
I compromise my faith by standing by

I'm going over the edge now,
yeah I'm ready to reach out

I wanna be Dangerous,
unashamed to proclaim your name.
I wanna be Dangerous,
I can't hide or deny what's inside;
I wanna be Dangerous.

my mind is made up and I'm ready
I'm goin' over the edge
I'm steppin' out on the wire
come on

I wanna be Dangerous,
unashamed to proclaim your name.
I wanna be Dangerous,
I can't hide or deny what's inside;
I wanna be Dangerous.

Dirty Second Hands
Switchfoot

Velocity: Quick [03:16]
Genre: Rock



Please don't be so naive!
You know you're not fooling anyone!
You're not as tough as you think.

The dirty second hands, the dirty second hands.
Can't get nothing for free.
It becomes so predictable.
You start fighting to breathe.
The dirty second hands, the dirty second hands.

Here's the face of everything that breaks you down:
But now you face the face of everything that breaks you down!
With an army of "me", we invent our own enemies.
It's man versus machine and the dirty second hands,
the dirty second hands.

In the land of the free and the home of the remedy,
the old clock is a thief with dirty second hands,
with dirty second hands.
Here's the face of everything that breaks you down:
Now you face the face of everything that breaks you down!

Are you really as tough as you think?
You blink and you're over the brink,
you bleed but the blood runs pink with dirty second hands,
dirty second hands.

You're not quite as tough as you thought.
You bought the American wrath,
the very scene that you thought you'd
shot with dirty second hands, dirty second hands.

You might be right.
The fight might be right inside you.
The blind leading the light to you so not
leaving you blind you with dirty second hands.

Here's the face of everything that breaks you down
(you, blind you with dirty second hands):
But now you face the face of everything that breaks you down
(you, blind you with dirty second hands)!
You're the face, the face of everything that breaks you down...

New Design
Thousand Foot Krutch

Velocity: Medium [03:29]
Genre: Rock



Wait, I might hesitate
Am I a minute too late?
Please Lord, I need to know
This pressure's got me lettin' go
If I'm wrong, will I still carry on
And end up where I belong?

BRIDGE
I've never felt this way before
I've never come so close
I've never worn so thin
I'm stepping out
Instead of closing in
Left myself behind
When I made up my mind
No turnin' back this time
This is my new design

CHORUS
Sometimes I feel so alone
It feels like I'm standing out here on my own
I've never felt so far from home
It's comin' on, it hits me
When I step outside my zone
Cause sometimes, I feel so alone
It feels like I'm standing out here on my own
I've never felt so far from home
It's comin' on, it hits me
When I step outside my zone

I see what you're doin' to me
Could have been you so easily
You look the other way
Even though we were close the other day
And I'm still tryin' to get up this hill
I need you just like a pill

BRIDGE

CHORUS

Do you get the feelin'
Everything will be alright?
I'm movin'
So pleased to meet you
But I am movin' on
Tried to pass it to another
But it's comin' on
I can't wait to find out
Break me, can't seem to climb out
Of this hole, I'm stuck again
If I'm not out in a minute I'm jumpin' in
Let's start again
I'm sick of this
Let's just get it out
Are ya feelin' it?
Move back
Ya wanna feel how real it is
Let's just get it out
Are ya feelin' it?
Move back
Ya wanna feel how real it is

CHORUS

#25: As We Wept - Demon Hunter

As We Wept
Demon Hunter

Velocity: A Velocity [03:42]
Genre: Metal





I will stand and fight to justify you
You have bled and died to justify me

Force me down into hate
Your freedom will stop when I can't breath
I'm taking the path that I don't need
I'm taking the place so it won't bleed
Broken out and turned away
Burned to the ground and change the face
Bled to death and turned to gray
Resurrect again to say
I made my promise, and now I've fallen
Through broken pieces I set you

I will stand and fight to justify you
You have bled and died to justify me

Let me see it all die in front of myself so I can't lie
A hollow design for the new side
Exterior death for the old side
This is the end of the last time
Bury the old and say the name
break the mold and new remain
Resurrect again to say

I made my promise, and now I've fallen
through broken pieces I see you
I will stand and fight to justify you
You have bled and died to justify me
A lifeless body, a broken soul
I fall to zero, I've lost control

I've lost control, I will stand and fight to justify you
You have bled and died to justify me

#24: Our Faces Fall Apart - Demon Hunter

Our Faces Fall Apart
Demon Hunter

Velocity: Slow--Fast [04:54]
Genre: Metal





Where is the inception of digression in a human life?
When is the answer just a bright light?
Who am I in shamelessly defining all the wrong and right?
What is the difference if we all die?
I am not the first, the last, the absolute
You will find no clarity in me
I am the deceased, the least, the solitude
Failing every face I try to be.

I'm not your progress, the pay of your pains
I'm stabbing the questions for answers I can't face
I'm losing the battle and finding no life to retrace.

I built this anguish with my own hands
I felt the burn inside with my heart.
I built this anguish with my own hands
I watched our faces fall apart.

CHORUS:
I felt the tears of all your angels, so cold.
I saw the fall of all your children, I'm so cold.

We are just a fraction of the poison living in this place
How can we answer with a straight face?
Who are you in gauging every standard you
Would have us chase?
Are we alone to run the last race?
We are all the weak, the meek, the innocent
Kissing every fault that we disgrace
We are of the worst, the cursed, the desolate
Leaving every hope that we embrace.

(CHORUS)

You turn your eyes to me in hope of my decline
Pointing your blame as I faltered on that line
We saw your slander when you pulled it off the shelf
If you want justice you'll point it at yourself
Face your fears. Trace your tears.
Kill the blind assumption that you know how I react inside
I am not so hollow, you can't see what grows inside my mind
Straight-faced, straight-faced.

Satellite [Video]
P.O.D.

Velocity: Medium [03:30]
Genre: Rock



I wonder how clear it must look from there to here
No obstruction, this selfish corruption
All in this atmosphere

No fear, less tears, only time to catch my breath
I fail to inhale
Your love constricts my chest

Confusion blinded me, mental and physically
And it’s because of you that now I can see
So now can I run? I follow the Son and ride on to Zion
And dance this last song of freedom

But only time will tell, if it’s truly for real
Can’t change your mind, all I know this is what I feel
Whether I’m wrong or right, please keep my life in sight
And never take you eyes off me

(Chorus:)
As I look up to the sky today
Well I can see you looking down on me
It brings a smile to my face again
Satellite

It’s truly one of a kind, like star shine, beyond night time, are you there
My eyes stare to find, just what’s behind this blind notion of mine, is it genuine
Cause sometimes, it plays tricks with my mind, some call it asinine

But it’s like love or hate, now is that real or fake?
Cause it’s a real thin line, but that’s your choice to make
The question at hand, help me understand, is this your plan?
I think I can, can I think, then I think I can

Because I won’t break (nah), and I won’t shake (nah)
With lifted hands to this Man (Jah), I’ll stand in faith
I’ll make it through, my trust in you
Close my eyes, make a wish, kiss the sky

Hey there…I see you

(Chorus)

Cycle Down
Skillet

Velocity: Upbeat [03:58]
Genre: Rock/Metal



Crashing, covered with debris
Dwelling in my own pity
Cry like I have not
Dig like I had not
I start to claw
Gotta get outta here
I've got to, gotta get out

I am, I am, I am on a higher ground
You are, You are my cure from the cycle down (2x)

Sinking in a sea of self
Deception never sold so well
Regret like I have not
Pain like I don't want
I start to claw
Gotta get outta here
I've got to, gotta get out

I am, I am, I am on a higher ground
You are, You are my cure from the cycle down (2x)

Down (3x)

I'm so cold and I wonder
How'd I make it this long without You
Pull me out, out from under
On the cycle back to You

I am, I am, I am on a higher ground
You are, You are my cure from the cycle down (2x)

Down (3x)

#22: Undying - Demon Hunter

Undying [Video]
Demon Hunter

Velocity: Medium to Fast [04:18]
Genre: Metal




Ever since the day that I was made I’ve been deciding the end
And I was made of wood and stone that won’t diminish or bend
So when the heavy hand of death is here to take me away
I’ll be the solid grip of time, forever holding my stay
Nobody ever made a force that took a beating like me
I call the earth and every scum to come and try to fight me
Cus when I made the choice to live beyond the dirt that we tread
I felt the curse of mortal limit fall before it was said

Pre-chorus:
When this season ends…

Chorus:
One final heart-break
And blinding lights will guide our way
Free us our blind state
They will call us by our name
(repeat)
Undying

Tearing through these days I find the tolerance to strive and push on
I know what lies beyond this life for me is already won
No one can take away the blood that covers over my fall
Without the blood of perfect life I know I’m nothing at all
So now I reign forever hallowed in eternity’s hand
No man can shake me from the everlasting ground that I stand

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)

We are the ones who will still remain when all is laid to waste
We are the ones who, when angels cry, will see them face to face
We are the ones
(Pre-Chorus)
I'm Sorry
(Chorus)

Undying
