Lostprophets : The Betrayed
Lyrics
1.IF IT WASN'T FOR HATE, WE'D BE DEAD BY NOW
If it wasn't for hate we'd be dead by now
If it wasn't for truth we'd have taken a bow
If it wasn't for love we'd have faded away
If it wasn't for hate, baby, I'd have lost out today
If it wasn't for death, no, I'd never feel this alive
If it wasn't for lies I probably wouldn't survive
If it wasn't for damn hypocrisy I wouldn't have to sing this song
If it wasn't for patience, baby, I couldn't have waitied out this long
2.DSTRYR/DSTRYR
"All Hail!".
The leaders of the revolution.
We've got your policy, your war, your hate, your retribution!
"All Hail!".
The sheer failure of a nation. S.O.S boys, this is white noise.
Destroyer, Destroyer, we sing it like a funeral choir.
Mourning now our hope is burning in the fire.
Deceiver, Deceiver. You never were a great achiever.
This is a joke. I hope you choke, non believer.
[Chorus]
Everything you destroy, we replace.
Destroyer, Destroyer !
Every word you write, we will erase.
Destroyer, Destroyer !
Every time you think you've stopped us, we rise up stronger from the dust.
Turn around motherfucker, 'cause we ain't done.
Destroy! Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!
"All Hail!".
The shot that set a nation running.
The smoking shells are pilling up, just keep 'em coming.
"All Hail!"
The warning sound of our salvation.
Line 'em up boys, this is white noise.
Destroyer, Destroyer. Religion needs a new employer.
I've got the rope to hang your Jesus even higher.
Deceiver, Deceiver. I load the truth and cock the lever,
and then I'll take my aim towards your fucking leaders.
[Chorus]
Everything you destroy, we replace.
Destroyer, Destroyer !
Every word you write, we will erase.
Destroyer, Destroyer !
Every time you think you've stopped us, we rise up stronger from the dust.
Turn around motherfucker, 'cause we ain't done.
Destroyer, Destroyer, we live inside the fire. [x3]
Destroyer, Destroyer, we live inside of you!
Destroyer, Destroyer, we live inside the fire. [x3]
Destroyer, Destroyer, we live inside of you!
Destroyer, Destroyer, we live inside of you! [x4]
We live inside of you ! [x2]
[Chorus]
Everything you destroy, we replace.
Destroyer, Destroyer !
Every word you write, we will erase.
Destroyer, Destroyer !
Every time you think you've stopped us, we rise up stronger from the dust.
Turn around motherfucker, 'cause we ain't done.
Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!
We live inside of you. [x2]
3.IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD BUT I CAN SEE IT FROM HERE
Woahohoh, Woahohoh, Woahohohoh
Woahohoh, Woahohoh, Woahohohoh
My soldiers march tonight
In the city of your dreams
It's beautiful on me, and tearing at your seams
Down on your knees, queuing this disease
I'll take it all, everything I see
Oh can't your hear, this symphony
Behind these walls, you watch them fall
As our union crumbles into hell
It's not the end of the world now baby, so common dry those tears
It's not the end of the world now darling, but I can see it from here
Oh baby dont cry tonight, because your tears they will bleed
Underneath this blood red moon, deafened by your screams
Watch what you say, I will betray
My promises, they will decay
I'll make amens, but not today
Behind these walls, youre watch them fall
As our union crumbles, into hell
It's not the end of the world now baby, so common dry those tears
It's not the end of the world now darling, but I can see it from here
It's not the end of the world now baby, so common dry those tears
It's not the end of the world now darling, but I can see it from
I can see it from here, I can see it from here
It's not the end of the world now baby, so common dry those tears
It's not the end of the world now darling, but I can see it from here
It's not the end of the world now baby, so sommon dry those tears
It's not the end of the world now darling, but I can see it from here
Woahohoh, Woahohoh, Woahohohoh
Woahohoh, Woahohoh, Woahohohoh
4.WHERE WE BELONG
Oh, take these stones away
Start a brand new story.
I'll make it through each day
Singing death or glory.
Lord won't answer me
I won't let it bring me down.
I know these clouds are gray
That I am living under.
I know I'll be okay
With the rain or thunder.
I hear it calling me
I won't march into the sound.
Ooooooohhhhhhhhh, Woah.
I just get this feeling
You're holding me down.
And these answers I'm needing
I guess they're being smothered by the sound.
Of all this emotion
And all of this hate.
Still I keep searching for something to put my faith in, to find my place so I keep singing.
Oh, take these stones away
Start a brand new story.
I'll make it through each day
Singing eath or glory.
Lord won't answer me
I won't let it bring me down.
Ooooooooohhhhhhhhh, Woah.
Hold on,
Hold on,
We'll move along.
Where we belong
Where we belong.
My heart, my soul.
I don't need a vision
I'd like to embrace.
And not only false promises, hopes and wishes.
To find my place
So I keep singing.
Oh, take these stones away
Start a brand new story.
I'll make it through each day
Singing death or glory.
Lord won't answer me
I won't let it bring me down.
Oooooooooohhhhhhhhhh, Woah.
Where we belong
Where we belong
My heart, my soul.
We stand alone.
Hold on,
Hold on,
Where we belong.
My heart, my song.
We stand alone.
Hold on,
Hold on,
Where we belong.
My heart, my song.
We stand alone.
Hold on,
Hold on,
Where we belong.
My heart, my soul
YYEEAAAAHHHHHH!
Oh, take these stones away
Start a brand new story.
I'll make it through each day
Singing death or glory.
Lord won't answer me
I won't let it bring me down.
5.NEXT STOP, ATRO CITY
Kid, you better say nothing.
Kid, you better lie low.
Cause this future's coming
666 ft below.
Pack up your belongings, get your suitcase and clothes.
Ain't nothing changing. Boys, time to go.
[Chorus]
Get in the car, get in the car.
We keep it running but you won't get far.
We got velocity, the next stop is atro city.
Get in the car, get in the car.
We keep it running but you won't get far.
We got velocity. I wanna be atro city.
On the phone is a dial tone.
On the TV, just ghosts.
All the rivers are boiling.
Better the devil you know.
All the voices in the chorus.
They all sing it out of key.
We're on the road to nothing, and nothings gonna stop me.
[Chorus]
Get in the car, get in the car.
We keep it running but you won't get far.
We got velocity, the next stop is atro city.
Get in the car, get in the car.
We keep it running but you won't get far.
We got velocity. I wanna be atro city.
Atro city, yeah she loves me.
I wanna be, atro city.
Get in the car, get in the car.
We keep it running but you won't get far.
We got velocity, the next stop is atro city.
[Chorus:]
Get in the car, get in the car.
We keep it running but you won't get far.
We got velocity, the next stop is atro city.
We keep it running but you won't get far.
We got velocity. I wanna be atro city.
Atro city, yeah she loves me.
Atro city, she fuckin loves me.
6.FOR HE'S A JOLLY GOOD FELON
Simon, don't stop with all the lying.
'Cause we know where your from,
you get along by taking things that don't belong to you.
So can you feel it?
Oh when you steel it!
All that adrenalin, living in sin,
and you can sell it off for half the price!
Oh what would your mother say?
We take to get along,
we're holding on, we're holding on,
and all these estates we're on,
everyone's singing!
Mikey, oh where'd you get those Nikes?
'Cause I know you ain't got, the notes to drop.
Left alone you'd take the fucking lot!
Not succeding, nothing to believe in.
Cause it will all go wrong, everything's gone.
Now your future is on the roll of a dice,
and that's the price that you pay!
We take to get along,
we're holding on, we're holding on,
and all these estates we're on,
everyone's singing!
We don't need anyone!
We're holding on, we're holding on,
all the police are wrong,
so we're still singing.
7 days a week, patrolling all these streets.
I try to stop, but I can't help it.
I know you call me weak, my future is oblique.
I take to get along, cause I still need it.
We take to get along,
we're holding on, we're holding on,
and all these estates we're on,
everyone's still singing!
We take to get along,
we're holding on, we're holding on,
and all these estates we're on,
everyone's singing!
We don't need anyone!
We're holding on, we're holding on!
We don't need anyone!
Everyone's singing.
We don't need anyone!
We're holding on, we're holding on!
We don't need anyone!
'Cause we're still singing.
7.A BETTER NOTHING
A dark place in the light of this city.
I know this feeling I keep buried inside,
won't retreat, or delete.
It ends tonight.
The dull pain that remains isn't pretty.
I'm being smothered in the flames I ignite.
"Oh my city is burning tonight."
[Chorus]
So how's it gonna feal when I leave this town,
broke and burning, with the memories that we once found.
I'm out of time and I'm, I'm out of place.
I left a love I can't replace, to find home.
Yet everytime I'm left with nothing,
but nothing's all I need.
Another time, there's always something,
but never inside me.
My chest tightens.
It brightens the light of the stars,
revealing our scars, all the times that were ours.
On the run with nothing but an appetite for lust and seduction.
I won't start again with the feelings.
I know what I need and it's so unappealing.
I sink below, let me go.
I need to find my way back to what I know.
[Chorus]
So how's it gonna feal when I leave this town,
broke and burning, with the memories that we once found.
I'm out of time and I'm, I'm out of place.
I left a love I can't replace, to find home.
Yet everytime I'm left with nothing,
but nothing's all I need.
Another time, there's always something,
but never inside me.
So how's it gonna feal when I leave this town,
broke and burning, with the memories that we once found.
So how's it gonna feal when I leave this town,
how's it gonna feel, how's it gonna feel, when I leave.
So how's it gonna feal when I leave this,
so how's it gonna feel?
To find, to find, to find, to find, find, home.
Yet everytime I'm left with nothing,
but nothing's all I need.
So how's it gonna feal when I leave this town,
how's it gonna feal when I leave this town,
how's it gonna feal when I leave this town,
how's it gonna feal, how's it gonna feel,
when I leave, [x8]
when I leave this town.
8.STREETS OF NOWHERE
She won't let me go,
Don't put me down,
I've seen the scenes and I've been around.
These city lies,
The bullshit smiles,
The inside jokes and the changing style.
But when I'm here,
I leave behind,
What I don't need
'Cause everytime I walk these streets I know they're mine.
It's just another day,
Living here this way,
Nothing ever troubles me,
And I say, "Lalalaa lalalaala, Lalalaa lalalaala la,
Everything's ok."
Oh these walls they should talk,
Yeah, feels good just to walk,
These streets of nowhere,
These streets of nowhere.
We climbed up above her,
She's still gotta know,
These streets of nowhere,
These streets of nowhere.
Your faded signs,
Your dirty crime,
Your endless jokes that go on for miles
Your errant daughter,
Wants her water,
You wouldn't have a word said against her.
But I agree,
The factories,
The shopping carts sing a symphony,
That sounds like home to me.
It's just another day,
Living here this way,
Nothing ever troubles me,
And I say, "Lalalaa lalalaala, Lalalaa lalalaala la,
Everything's ok."
Oh these walls they should talk,
Yeah, feels good just to walk,
These streets of nowhere,
These streets of nowhere.
We climbed up above her,
She's still gotta know,
These streets of nowhere,
These streets of nowhere.
Oooooooooooo,
Oooooooooooo.
It's just another day,
Living here this way,
Nothing ever troubles me,
And I say, "Lalalaa lalalaala, Lalalaa lalalaala la,
Everything will be okay."
These streets of nowhere!
Oh these walls they should talk,
Yeah, feels good just to walk,
These streets of nowhere,
These streets of nowhere.
We climbed up above her,
She's still gotta know,
These streets of nowhere,
These streets of nowhere
9.DIRTY LITTLE HEART
Another night, another year thats gone
Raise your glass, I'm not home tonight
Nothings changed but everything is differnt
Getting cold in the bus stop light
All the days, all the times we spent making plans for another life
Staring out of a back seat window, making cuts with a plastic knife
This dirty heart still likes to beat
Back in your arms
Back on your street
These open wounds you gave me
These broken bones will take me
Crawling on through the debris of my dirty little heart
Another flag stone, I don't belong
An empty glass still not home tonight
I look for change but only finding difference
I'm growing old in the glare of the spot light
All those nights, all the hearts I've haunted
All the memories we've shared
I wonder if this will ever be different
I wonder if we will ever be spared
This dirty heart still likes to beat
Back in your arms
Back on your street
These open wounds you gave me
These broken bones will take me
Crawling on through the debris of my dirty little
These open wounds you gave me
These broken bones will take me
Crawling on through the debris of my dirty little heart [x2]
10.DARKEST BLUE
I can see into this abyss,
There is no stopping myself,
From feeling this.
And I think it's coming through,
The air it torments me,
I try to move that dial,
And change this frequency.
Everywhere that I go,
Misery will follow,
And it won't let me go,
And it won't let go.
I keep fading into you,
Drowning in your darkest blue,
The sorrow pulls me down,
I'm weightless without sound,
I still hear them calling.
There's no hope,
There's no hope for me,
Cause I can't silence the sound,
They keep calling me. (They keep calling me)
Everywhere that I go,
Misery will follow,
And it won't let me go,
And it won't let go.
I keep fading into you,
Drowning in your darkest blue,
The sorrow pulls me down,
I'm weightless without sound,
I still hear them calling.
I still hear them calling.
Everywhere that I go,
Misery will follow,
And it won't let me go,
It won't let go,
It won't let go.
I keep fading into you,
Drowning in your darkest blue,
The sorrow pulls me down,
I'm weightless without sound,
I still hear them calling,
I still hear them calling,
I still hear them calling,
I still hear them calling
11.THE LIGHT THAT SHINES TWICE AS BRIGHT...
Take me by the hand,
and leave me to the slaughter,
Close my eyes and sing just let it go.
The warmest rain, it falls
on the darkest crimson mountains.
Seeping from the wound,
I think alone.
Don't say the pain will fade tomorrow:
The last thing that I'll feel will be today.
Hey.
You, you, you,
Don't you know?
You took upon my soul.
(I'll never feel this way again)
You, you, you,
Don't you know?
you put me on my knees
and cut my bones.
(I'll never feel this way again)
I lost my positivity.
I'm positively lost.
I thought the path was obvious: it's not.
Resign myself to failed potential,
the wind it hits the sails.
my scarred hands sustain in these two nails.
But don't say the pain will fade tomorrow:
The last thing that I feel will be today.
Hey.
You, you, you,
Don't you know?
You took upon my soul.
(I'll never feel this way again)
You, you, you,
Don't you know?
you put me on my knees
and cut my bones.
(I'll never feel this way again)
Oh.
This is how it feels.
This is how it feels.
This is how it feels.
This is how it feels.
This is how it feels.
This is how it feels.
This is how it feels.
This is how it feels.
This is how it feels.
This is how it feels.
This is how it feels.
This is how it feels.
This is how it feels.
This is how it feels.
This is how it feels.
Oh.
