Thrice Şarkı Sözleri ( Lyrics )
 
A Living Dance Upon Dead Minds

Love everywhere,
Exploding, maims and blinds,
A living dance upon dead minds,
Love everywhere,
Exploding, maims and blinds,
A living dance upon dead minds
But surely does not forget (perish),
Sleep, cannot be photographed (measured);
Disdains the trivial labelling of punctual brains,
But surely does not forget (perish),
Sleep, cannot be photographed (measured);
Disdains the trivial labelling of punctual brains,
Why its love;
But at the earliest spear
Of sun
Perfectly should disappear
Who wields a poem huger than the grave?
Who wields a poem huger than the grave?
Who wields a poem huger than the grave?
Who wields a poem huger than the grave?
But surely does not forget (perish),
Sleep, cannot be photographed (measured);
Disdains the trivial labelling of punctual brains...

A Subtle Dagger
 
A Subtle Dagger

İt infiltrates,
İnsidious,
İt feigns at love,
Betrays our trust
İn what we've known,
Since we were born.
The truth we've found in all we see
Points to design,
Still our chests swell,
We'll never find
True answers from a wishing well.
So feed us all
Another lie,
To steal our thoughts,
Appease our pride,
So we wont have
To change the way we see, we live, we love, we die,
Our lust precedes
Our blasphemy,
Our logic reads
Like notes from tainted autopsy.
Our souls they speak of something more,
But we cant look beyond ourselves.
We implore empty skies because
Our hearts hold room for no one else,
We extend our
Claws to grasp at shadows of the
İdeals we have,
Lost causalities of a subtle dagger,
Buried to the
Hilt in our hearts, blood on our hands...

A Torch To End All Torches
 
A Torch To End All Torches

Misguided satellite
I circle by habit,
Can't find my orbit to save my life
I want to fall,
I want to burn,
Like an ignorant craterless meteorite
Long ago I was derailed,
Long ago the mission failed
But in the distance there appears a light
Disgruntled architect
Building a palace
Cant make it perfect to save my life
Victimless crime ride the wrecking ball in
Evacuate now while I breathe dynamite
Efforts all to no avail
I'm perfection's countervail
Torn in pieces, I am made contrite
And in my darkest hour
The brightest light draws near to me
A torch to end all torches,
This is the light that sets me free
All shadows burn away now
But by his grace I am sustained
Though all was lost,
Now all is found and more is gained
Lift me up and make me whole
Instil in me a new hope
Breathe new life into my soul...

Atlantic
 
Atlantic

İt's been so long, and tin cans and string for years
İs all that we've known, could it be you're really here

'Cause my eyes are open, and everything still moves in slow-motion,
Breathless and blue, and behind your eyes the sea
Oceans of light envelop me

But things can't be as they seem, i'm so far from home
This must be another dream, but my eyes are open...

Betrayal Is A Symptom
 
Betrayal Is A Symptom

Faith,
İs not something that I grasp
İt's something that I fake,
As I'm slipping, as I'm falling through the cracks,
Faith
Without actions is a mask,
For making the same mistakes
As I'm slipping as I'm falling through the cracks.
Somehow I find beauty in our failings,
Somehow I find meaning in these lies
Somehow I'm made perfect in this fracture,
Your back is begging sweetly for my knives,
I'm spilling blood,
Glancing down to hide my face,
I walk with eyes closed tight through monuments of grace,
Somehow I find beauty in our failings,
Somehow I find meaning in these lies
Somehow I'm made perfect in this fracture,
Your back is begging sweetly for my knives!
My faith is a front, I'm spilling blood,
Glancing down to hide my face, I walk with eyes closed
Through monuments of grace, I'm spilling blood
Glancing down to hide my face I walk with eyes closed
Through monuments of grace
İsn't it sweet how,
Trusted with angels,
And how so quickly
I break my promises?
İsn't it sweet, isn't it sweet, isn't it sweet, isn't it sweet?

Between The End And Where We Live
 
Between The End And Where We Live

İs this everything, i've dreamed of so much more
Between the end and where we lie
Here all hopes and dreams are scavenged from the floor
And fed into machines that feed on vacant eyes
All of my dreams, always find me
Far beyond these fake fluorescent skies
I know there must be something more, if i could only find the door
Then i could free myself and see the world outside

Where daylight breaks on you and shines into the
Grey that sleeps beneath your skull
Daylight breaks on you and burns away the
Grey that suffocates your soul

For now i hold a key, and though i may be lost
I know that i will find my way
I search endlessly but every time i've thought
That i was near the smoke and mirrors lead me astray
See the pit boss, steal each tick tock
Time it seems will suffer at our hands
I look for exits in the haze, the dense electric twilight maze
I've heard that there is one that leads to sunlit lands

Daylight, they tell me that it's just a myth
They try to betray me with a kiss
Daylight, they tell me that it can't exist
They might never know just what they missed as

Daylight pours fire into my grey eyes
Pour grace into my grey life
Breaks in and lights the way
I can't live without the day...

Blood Clots And Black Hloes
 
Blood Clots And Black Hloes

Here's your new drug
Shoot it in the left eye
Feel it on the right side
No it's not love
Though it sets up shop behind your ribcage
Building blood clots and black holes
Like using an axe to pull
A sliver from your skin
And they say this is medicine
An overdose of oxygen
A severed head as sedative
To be at peace would be a sin
And surely un-American
I'm breaking
Here's your new blood
Transfusion took us all night
Tell us that you're all right
No it's not love
Though feels like fire inside of your veins
Burning right beneath the wrist
Begging for a razor's kiss
To free it from your skin
And they say this is medicine
An overdose of oxygen
A severed head as sedative
To be at peace would be a sin
And surely un-American
I'm breaking down
Lift the veil, it's not medicine
And my heart fails, time and time again...

Cold Cash, Colder Hearts
 
Cold Cash, Colder Hearts

They are sick, they are poor
And they die by the thousands and we look away
They are wolves at the door
And they're not gonna move us or get in our way
'Cause we don't have the time
Here at the top of the world
Feeling alright
Here at the top of the world
We hold our own by keeping our hearts cold
Different god, darker skin
They are just not a burden that we'd like to bear
They are living in "sin"
There are so many reasons for us not to care
But I'm feeling alright
Here at the top of the world
Doing just fine
Here at the top of the world
We've learned money matters most
So we keep our cards held close
Here at the top of the world
We hold our own by keeping our hearts cold
And we've learned what matters most
So we keep our hearts cold
They are no one
They are nowhere
They are not our problem
Not worth saving
Nonexistent if we keep our hearts cold...

Deadbolt
 
Deadbolt

Hen deadbolts awake you from deja vu dreams,
At four in the morning you know where I'll be.
Out running red lights asleep at the wheel.
The sirens feed my nightmares,
I just close my eyes and I'm already here;
İts already too late.
I know its nothing but lies,
But they sound so sincere;
I find them too hard to hate.
And she calls from the doorway "stolen water is sweet,
So let's drink it in the darkness if you know what I mean"
And she calls from the doorway "stolen water is sweet,
So let's drink it in the darkness if you know what I mean"
And I'm almost sure
That I've been here before,
That this is not the first time I've stood in front of this door,
With an overwhelming feeling that I shouldn't go in,
But it seems this is a battle that I never could win.
And you!
My true love!
You call from the hilltop.
You call through the streets,
"Darling don't you know,
The water is poison."
And I say!
"Come on and give me my poison."
What have I done?
İs it too late to save me from this place?
From the depths of the grave?
We all are those ..
Who thought we were brave.
What have I done?

Don't Tell And We Won't Ask

Paint the target
We don't need no evidence
Flood the market
We do it all in self defence
You're a smart kid
Never work without your gloves
If you're a smart kid
You'll stay the hell away from love
And if it comes to murder
Don't tell and we won't ask you how
You sleep at night when the lights go out
And you're all alone
With all the ghosts of lesser humans
Whose lives you've spilt to suit your own
Sit and think of
All the dollars and the cents
And your blue blood
You'll see it all makes perfect sense
Drink from this cup
A better life awaits us all
You're one of us
Remember conscience comes before the fall
Your actions all are justified
Your actions all are justified
And if it comes to murder
Don't tell and we won't ask you how
You sleep at night when the lights go out
And you're all alone
With all the ghosts of lesser humans
Whose lives you've spilt to suit your own
Cause it's need to know
We are need to know
We don't need to know
Don't we all know life is sacred?

Eclipse

Call everyone to arms
We'll fill the heavens
With the poisoned dreams of man
Call everyone to arms
We forged these weapons
With the strength of our own hands
We shot the sun from the sky
Apollo dead at our feet
We wander lost in the rye
We gather round in the street
For centuries we watched the sky
And burned to bridge the great divide
Call everyone to arms
We'll fill the heavens
With the poisoned dreams of man
Call everyone to arms
We built these weapons
With our pride and with the strength of our own hands
Eclipse the body with stones
And lay him down with the rest
I smile when i am alone
And shed a tear for the press
For centuries we watched the sky
And burned to bridge the great divide
Cause we dug the body up
We drank his golden blood
And light shone from our eyes
But it was not enough
'Cause we still dream of deicide
For centuries we watched the sky
We burned to bridge the great divide
But now we burn with power and pride...

For miles
 
For miles

I know one day, all our scars will disappear, like the stars at dawn
And all of our pain, will fade away when morning comes
And on that day when we look backwards we will see, that everything is changed
And all of our trials, will be as milestones on the way

And as long as we live, every scar is a bridge to someone's broken heart
And there's no greater love, than that one shed his blood for his friends

On that day all of the scales will swing to set all the wrongs to right
All our tears, and all of our fears will take to flight
But until then all of our scars will still remain, but we've learned that if we'll
Open the wounds and share them then soon they start to heal

(As long as we live, we are bridges to someone broken heart
There's no greater love, shed your blood for your friends)

We must see that every scar is a bridge, and as long as we live
We must open up these wounds
When some one stands in your shoes and will shed his own blood
There's no greater love. we must open up our wounds...

Hold Fast Hope
 
Hold Fast Hope

How can you be sleeping, waves like weapons crash
O'er us, cry for mercy and hold fast hope

Who of us is cursed, or do we have to ask
Search your souls and hold fast
İf no one speaks a word, then let the lots be cast
Truth be told and hold fast

White death wakes in black skies, mark your maker's wrath
Fear and flames of azure climb the crooked the mast
You will yet be baptized, steeped in shattered glass
Sink and sing your answer and hold fast hope

As strong arms grip your shoulders like dead hands of the past
Pray as you're tossed over, this breath could be your last

Quiet and cold, silent and slow
Night black as coal, miles here below

Find your faith and dive deep, through living gateways pass
Lined with death and ivory, and hold fast, hold fast

Deep beneath the black dawn, leagues from lightning's flash
Ribs will raise cathedrals for the morning mass
Steel yourself in sackcloth, roll your heart in ash
Scrape your skin with steel wool and hold fast hope
Cross your heart and hold fast hope...

Hoods On Peregrine

The blue light spills like oceans
We smile and let it in
It cures us of our questions
Like hoods on peregrine
Knowledge locked in a tower
Barons will hold the key
But if knowledge is power,
Know this is tyranny
All we're asking for is what's ours
You think they're selling you truth,
Truth is, they're selling you out
The truth, they're selling you out
The black ink fuels our notions
That all the facts are in
It cures us of our questions
Like hoods on peregrine
Knowledge locked in a tower
Barons will hold the key
But if knowledge is power,
Know this is tyranny
All we're asking for is what's ours
You think they're selling you truth
But they're just selling you
And if we keep buying in
The line between lies and truth
Will wear paper thin,
Paper thin
You think they're selling you truth,
The truth is, they're selling you out...

Image marred by self-infliction
Private wars on my soul waged
Heart is scarred by dual volitions
Juxtaposed and both engaged
Kindle flame, a test of faith
Pray help me see it through
I put all my trust in you
Refine hate and love
Fall afresh on me
End this crisis of
Identity
Draw this darkness out like poison
Stab, retrieve, again decline
Help me drive the dagger deeper
Trace with me explicit line
Take this blade, a test of faith,
And strike me deep and true

Refine hate and love
Fall afresh on me
End this crisis of
Identity
This is my voice, all shadows stayed this is my heart, upon the altar laid
Please take all else away, hear my cry, I beg, I plead, I pray
I'll walk into the flame, a calculated risk to further bless your name
So strike me deep and true, and in your strength I will live and die both unto you...

Free will is ours and we can't let go

So we sing out this, our canticle

Remove the cancer, take back your souls

Though all the world may hate us, we are named
Though shadow overtake us, we are known...

All my life and more
And now I see so clearly
What I could not see before.

Parody of an angel
Miles above the sea

"You've flown far too high boy now you're too close to the sun,
Soon your makeshift wings will come undone"
But how will I know limits from lies if I never try?
There's no promise of safety with these second-hand wings
But I'm willing to find out what impossible means.
I'll climb through the heavens on feathers and dreams
'Cause the melting point of wax means nothing to me.

Motion Without Meaning

What a beautiful way to fake it
This sort of graceful defeat
We found a pattern out on the pavement
Sound the siren out through the streets
Advance in perfect nonchalance
Do it together with a rifle report
Don't marvel at our confidence
It's troubled, bottled, and above-all deformed
Tell me that you wanna stop the war
But baby you can't dance if there's no floor
Motion isn't meaning
It's just another drug
But it's all we've got...
What a way to keep it together
A black box, a prescription for speed
We found a freeway that goes on forever
Drown the demon in the deep black sea
Shield your eyes
It keeps burning to the rhythm of the rifle repeating
Paralyzed
But I gotta keep movin' if I wanna keep breathing
Tell me that you wanna stop the war
But baby you can't dance if there's no floor
Motion isn't meaning
It's just another drug

Way up on clouds for a moment

Hemmed in by emptiness, a million ways that everything could be undone

A love that never dies, keep your chin up child

The words you've written in stone
Sand will cover them, sand will cover you
The streets that suffer your name

Sand will cover them, sand will cover you

Don't store your treasures up, with moth and rust
Where thieves break in and steal
Pull the fangs from out your heel

Still we stack our stones and bury what we can
But it all will be undone, and nothing built under the sun

Conspiring with the reef to sink our ship
The wind's a cheating wife, her tongue a thirsty knife
And she could take your life with one good kiss

Know tonight we'll make our bed
At the bottom of the sea

And smiling in my dreams she whispers this

The rocks are leaping for the sky,

For a bone to break, a dream to smash apart,
But I don't care.

This cliff has been well worn by ignorance.

They float face down they all look so content.

Guess I'm afraid to be alone.
And down below I see my crew they look okay
That can't be blood the water here

Seems far away
But I can hear her call my name
İt's so comforting to know I'll never have to think again

Stand And Feel Your Worth

Wake, stand and feel your worth, o my soul
Kneel and know the word that can save us all
Come to die

We are fuel and fire both, we are water
Wed with wine and ghost

We are wrought with breath and dirt, washed in second sight
Woven through the earth, wreathed in rings of light
We will wield a second birth, whet our wits and knives
Wrap our knees in earth, wrap ourselves in light

Wake, we will weigh and drink this cup, we will burn
But we will not burn up

Wake, feel your worth, o my soul
Speak the word, the word that can save us all
Awed by grace, i fall on my face
And scream the word that can save us all...

Stare At The Sun
 
Stare At The Sun

I sit here clutching useless lists
And keys for doors that don't exist
I crack my teeth on pearls
I tear into the history
Show me what it means to me in this world
Yeah in this world
'Cause I am due for a miracle
I'm waiting for a sign
I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes
Till I understand or go blind
I see the parts but not the whole
I study saints and scholars both
No perfect plan unfurls
Do I trust my heart or just my mind
Why is truth so hard to find in this world
Yeah in this world
'Cause I am due for a miracle
I'm waiting for a sign
I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes
Till I understand or go blind (till I understand or go blind)
I know that there's a point I've missed
A shrine or stone I haven't kissed
A scar that never graced my wrist
A mirror that hasn't met my fist
But I can't help feeling like I'm
Due for a miracle
I'm waiting for a sign (waiting for a sign)
I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes (and I won't close my eyes)
Due for a miracle
I'm waiting for a sign
I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes...

That Hideous Strength
 
That Hideous Strength

Oh, that I could scream
And the world would stop and listen
And these scars could speak in volumes
But who has ears to hear
Or eyes to see
Again I scream
But my voice is buried in an unearthly silence
Like in nightmares when ghosts steal your breath.
I pray that power be not in my words
But in truth that supersedes the mind of man
And our dead hope, and our blind faith in means that look to justify the ends.
I feel a presence in the room
I feel cold fingers close around my neck.
With out you I am lost.
Let mine eyes not fail with looking upward...

The Abolition of Man
 
The Abolition of Man

Wake up everyone! It's not too late
To save the remnants of our hearts,
So stop giving up our last shot at love,
Our only chance to find the meaning of
The beat beneath the blood
We laugh at honour and are shocked when
We find knives in our backs
We follow those who cheat and steal
Look in my eyes, you won't find your way back
Our only compass smashed under our own heels
Reason abandoned to appetites and addicts arms
Shotguns and silence have always been the best of charms
Wake up everyone! It's not too late
To save the remnants of our hearts,
So stop giving up our last shot at love,
Our only chance to find the meaning of
The beat beneath the blood
We laugh at honour and are shocked when
We find knives in our backs
We follow those who cheat and steal
Look in my eyes, you won't find your way back
Our only compass smashed under our own heels, under our iron will
The abolition of man is within the reach of science
But are we so far gone that we'll try it?

The Artist In The Ambulance
 
The Artist In The Ambulance

Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel
My world goes black before I feel an angel lift me up
And I open bloodshot eyes into fluorescent white
They flip the siren, hit the lights, close the doors and I am gone
Now I lay here owing my life to a stranger
And I realize that empty words are not enough
I'm left here with the question of just
What have I to show except the promises I never kept?
I lie here shaking on this bed, under the weight of my regrets
I hope that I will never let you down
I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound
Look around and you'll see that at times it feels like no one really cares
It gets me down but I'm still gonna try to do what's right, I know that there's
A difference between sleight of hand, and giving everything you have
There's a line drawn in the sand, I'm working up the will to cross it and
Rhetoric can't raise the dead
I'm sick of always talking when there's no change
Rhetoric can't raise the dead
I'm sick of empty words, let's lead and not follow
Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel
My world goes black before I feel an angel steal me from the
Greedy jaws of death and chance, and pull me in with steady hands
They've given me a second chance, the artist in the ambulance
Can we pick you off the ground, more than flashing lights and sound?

The Earth Will Shake
 
The Earth Will Shake

We dream of ways to break these iron bars
We dream of black nights without moon or stars
We dream of tunnels and of sleeping guards
We dream of blackouts in the prison yard

Heartbroken, we found a gleam of hope
Harken to the sound, a whistle blows
Heaven sent reply, however small
Evidence of life beyond these walls
Born and bred in this machine
Wardens dread to see us dream
We hold tight to legends of
Real life, the way it was before

We dream of jailers throwing down their arms
We dream of open gates and no alarms

Look to the day the earth will shake
These weathered walls will fall away...

The Red Death
 
The Red Death

Entertain the hope that somehow you'll escape me
Weld the bolts and close the iron gate
Drink deeply the illusion of your safety,
My how wishful thoughts inebriate,
Masquerade and revel in your opulence.
Writhe unfettered by your stabs at ignorance.
Swim through hues and whispered tones of heresy,
A dozen strokes to run your blood cold enough to believe
remember me?
You look so surprised to see me here,
With hells black wings did i over perch these walls,
For stony limits cannot hold me out,
And now
You
All
Die...

To Awake And Avenge The Dead
 
To Awake And Avenge The Dead

Old friend they told me you were dead
The news broadcast the funeral
500 channels focus in
Your love was
Ravished drawn and quartered,
The soil was swift to drink her blood.
This violence in the name of love!
But i still feel you,
Despite your tombstone,
But i still feel you,
Despite your tombstone,
So friend you must still walk among us,
İn places we don't dare to glance
I saw you killing Aristotle
But i know it's all part of the plan.
Old friend they told me you were dead
The news broadcast the funeral
500 channels focus in
Your love was
Ravished drawn and quartered,
The soil was swift to drink her blood.
This violence in the name of love!
Old friend they told me you were dead
The news broadcast the funeral
500 channels focus in
Your love was
Ravished drawn and quartered,
The soil was swift to drink her blood.
This violence, this violence,

This violence in the name of love!
To awake and avenge the dead!

To What End
 
To What End

To what end do we
Proceed so boldly
İf all we are is
Chemical reactions
And what world have you
So deftly sold me
İf you reduce me
İf I have no soul to touch
No heart to love
No evil to rise up above
No angels and no ghosts
No real victories to toast
İf you believe that this is true
Then I must ask
To what end do you proceed?
No fire in our eyes
No steel in our hearts
No magic in our songs
Are we just empty vessels?
No fire in our eyes
No steel in our hearts
No magic in our songs
And you tell me..
I have no soul to touch
No heart to love
No evil to rise up above
No angels and no ghosts
No real victories to toast
İf you believe that this is true
Then I must ask
To what end do you proceed?
Did I not feel your love?
Did I not feel your hate?
And did my heart not beat
And did my heart not break?
And are these tears for naught
And are these worlds in vain
İf this is all we are then what
Have to gain!
What of all the art and books
Music and poetry
What of all our memories
What of our hopes and dreams?
They hold no value then
We hold no faith but greed
So I must ask you
To what end do we proceed?

Trust
 
Trust

Mix the chemicals right dear, mix the chemicals right
Yeah the margin of error is slight
Mix the chemicals right dear
Mix the chemicals right
Yeah you know that you could
Save my life
There is a risk, there's a risk when your dealing with love
you could snap my neck
Any speed you drive can be dangerous
Mix the chemicals right dear, mix the chemicals right
Yeah you know there's a fine line between
Mix the chemicals right dear, mix the chemicals right
Cause i know what betrayal can mean
When this frame fails me
Will i trust you to carry me through?
I know there's no such thing as safety
But i know what a promise can do.
Will i trust you, will i trust you to carry me through?
I will trust you, cause i know what a promise can do...

Ultra Blue
 
Ultra Blue

Unabashedly pursue,
The truth that we cannot deny
A revelation shining through,
Orchestration Adonai
A revolution ultra-blue,
And a melodic battle cry
And though some say there'll be no coup,
We'll never know unless we
Try to see it through,
And find a different point of view,
One where faith is not taboo
And we'll all learn to see the world as new
Sometimes a belief held true,
İs proved to be an outright lie
But it seems we always knew,
İn some unspoken lullaby
I'll see you at the rendezvous,
We'll raise our voices to the sky
And though some say there'll be no coup,
We'll never know unless we
Try to see it through,
And find a different point of view,
One where faith is not taboo
And we'll all learn to see the world as new
Revolution ultra-blue...

Under A Killing Moon
 
Under A Killing Moon

The air my lungs first loved
Carves craters from my eyes
They said "breathe deeply son
Or be the next to die"
Beneath the falling night
And heaven's shutting gate
Pray keep your tongue held tight
Or suffer the same fate
The blood on our black gloves
It is none of your concern
If you want to call our bluff
Get in line and wait your turn
And watch the witches burn"
Don't flinch when innocents
Are dancing with the flame
If they wanted to live
They'd learn to play the game
You can still walk away
If you just hold your tongue
If you'd just walk away
You'd live to see the sun but"
Under this killing moon
Under this burning sky
The fire's shining groom
I hold my breath and close my eyes
"The blood on our black gloves
It is none of your concern
If you want to call our bluff
Get in line and wait your turn
And watch the witches burn
We'll watch the witches burn"
