Queensryche - Mindcrime At The Moore (2007) by Queensryche (보컬) on maniadb.com

I remember now
I remember how it started
I cant remember yesterday
I just remember doing what they told me
Told me
Told me
Told me

You mystify with the things that you say.
You're telling me you're leaving, that you're going away
to take a trip to find, and leave behind the love.
I've got a destination, a suggestion for you.
You won't need a jet plane or a luxury cruise.
Just take a

For a price I'd do about anything
Except pull the trigger
For that I'd need a pretty good cause
Then I heard of Dr. X
The man with the cure
Just watch the television
Yeah, you'll see there's something going on
Got no love for politicians
Or that crazy sc

It just takes a minute
And you'll feel no pain
Gotta make something of your life boy
Give me one more vein
You've come to see the doctor
Cause I'll show you the cure
I'm gonna take away the questions
Yeah I'm gonna make you sure
A hit man for the order
W

They've given me a mission
I don't really know the game yet
I'm bent on submission
Religion is to blame
I'm the new messiah
Death Angel with a gun
Dangerous in my silence
Deadly to my cause
Speak to me the pain you feel
Speak the word
The word is all of

She always brings me what i need
Without i beg and sweat and bleed
When we're alone at night
Waiting for the call
She feeds my skin
Sixteen and on the run from home
Found a job in times square
Working live s&m shows
Twenty-five bucks [a fuck]
And john's a happy man
She wipes the filth away
And it's back on the streets again
Spreading the disease
Everybody needs
But no one wants to see
Father william saved her from the streets
She drank the lifeblood from the saviour's feet
She's sister mary now, eyes as cold as ice
He takes her once a week
On the alter like a sacrifice
Spreading the disease
Everybody needs
But no one wants to see
Religion and sex are powerplays
Manipulate the people for the money they pay
Selling skin, selling god
The numbers look the same on their credit cards
Politicians say no to drugs
While we pay for wars in south america
[saudi arabia, on tour]
Fighting fire with empty words
While the banks get fat
And the poor stay poor
And the rich get rich
And the cops get paid
To look away
As the one percent rules america
Spreading the disease
Everybody needs
But no one wants to see
The way society
Keeps spreading the disease

Bless me father for I have sinned

In the wooden chair beside my window
I wear a face born in the falling rain
I talk to shadows from a lonely candle
Recite the phrases from the wall
I can't explain this holy pain

Six days ago my life had taken a tumble
The orders came from high above they say
A need to use me once again, they've got my number
Further the cause, boy, yes, you know the game

I'll wait here for days longer
'Til the sister comes to wash my sins away
She is the lady that can ease my sorrow
She brings the only friend that helps me find my way

I search the past back to a time when I was younger
A target for the new society
Picked to displace the leaders
Countering objectives of this new underground reality

Waiting for days longer
'Til sister comes to wash my sins away
She is the lady that can ease my sorrow
My love for her will help me find my way

(They'll say)
My mission saved the world
I stood proud
My mission changed the world
It turned my life around

I look around, my room is filled with candles
Each one a story but they end the same
I'll hide away in here the law will never find me
The walls will tell the story of my pain

Waiting for days longer
'Til sister comes to wash my sins away
She is the lady who can ease my sorrow
She sets the pace for my delivery of pain

(They'll say)
My mission saved the world
And I stood proud
My mission changed the world
The underground

(They'll say)
Will rise and save this world
We'll all stand proud
Our mission changed the world, we'll change the world
We'll all stand proud

I've had enough and I want out!
"You can't walk away now."

I looked back once
And all I saw was his face
Smiling, the needle crying
Walking out of his room
With mirrors, afraid I heard him scream
You'll never get away

Cold and shaking
I crawled down alleys to try
And scrape away the tracks that marked me
Slammed my face into walls of concrete
I stared, amazed at the words written on the wall

Don't ever trust
Don't ever trust the needle, it lies
Don't ever trust
Don't ever trust the needle when it cries
Cries your name

Wet and raving
The needle keeps calling me back
To bloody my hands forever
Carved my cure with the blade
That left me in scars
Now every time I'm weak
Words scream from my arm

Don't ever trust
Don't ever trust the needle, it lies
Don't ever trust
Don't ever trust the needle when it cries
Cries your name

Don't ever trust
Don't ever trust the needle, it lies
Don't ever trust
Don't ever trust the needle when it cries
Cries your name

Even in death
You still look sad
Don't leave me
Don't leave me...here
I want what you feel, believe me
Turn the current on

They told me to run, but just how far?
Can I go wearing the black mask of fear?
The hate in my eyes always gives me away
The tension building slowly
Now I lost everything I had in you
Nothing we shared means a thing
Without you close to me
I can't live wi

I awoke on impact
Under surveillance from the camera eye
Searching high and low
The criminal mind found at the scene of the crime
Handcuffed and blind, i didn't do it
She said she loved me
I guess i never knew
But do we ever, ever really know?
She said she'd meet me on the other side
But i knew right then, i'd never find her
I don't believe in love
I never have, i never will
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel
No more nightmares, i've seen them all
From the day i was born, they've haunted my every move
Every open hand's there to push and shove
No time for love it doesn't matter
She made a difference
I guess she had a way
Of making every night seem bright as day
Now i walk in shadows, never see the light
She must have lied 'cause she never said goodbye
I don't believe in love
I never have, i never will
I don't believe in love
I'll just pretend she never was real
I don't believe in lovev i need to forget her face, i see it still
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel
No chance for contact
There's no raison d'etre
My only hope is one day i'll forget
The pain of knowing what can never be
With or without love it's all the same to me
I don't believe in love
I never have, i never will
I don't believe in love
I'll just pretend she never was real
I don't believe in love
I need to forget her face, i see it still
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel

Cries from the aisles
the tolling of the judgement bell
Eyes watched the violence
the absence of those who have
seen, marks the faith of the spell
Cold is the viper
stalking the night for the heat
It must find
Time is the promise
delivered with stunning consistency
line after line, time after time
the innocent victim awaits...
Please take my hand
Don't be afraid
I am your master
You are my slave
Voices are calling me back
Back to the day
Footsteps had followed
Me faster... listen
Screams from a new love
the passion was burning, it singed in a stare
Free under the night sun
The fear of the hunger will always be there in my mind
Time after time the morning will close a new page
Please take my hand
Don't be afraid
I am your master
You are my slave
Follow the impulse you have
I'll show you the way
Forget what you've learned in the past now
Listen and...

Empty room today
And here i sit
Chalk outline upon the wall
I remember tracing it
A thousand times, the night she died.
Why? [why?]
There's no sleep today, i can't pretend
When all my dreams are crimes
I can't stand facing them
Now who will come
To wash a

All alone now
Except for the memories
Of what we had and what we knew
Everytime
I try to leave it behind me
I see something that
reminds me of you

Every night the
dreams return to haunt me
Your rosary wrapped
around your throat
I lie awake and sweat
afraid to fall asleep
I see your face
looking back at me
looking back at me
And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the
mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know
what lies behind the stare

Is this all that's left
Of my life before me
Straight jacket memories
sedative highs
No happy ending like they've
always promised
There's got to be
something left for me
And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the
mirror never lies

People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know
what lies behind the stare
Lies behind my stare

How many times
must I live this tragedy
How many more lies
will they tell me
All I want is the same as everyone
Why am I here and for how long
And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the
mirror never lies

People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know
what lies behind the stare

I gotta have it,
gotta drink the high life.
Ill buy a new suit, black skinny necktie.
Ill mingle with elite and imitate
and theyll never even get it til I hit em.

Ive got no fear cause Ive weathered the breakdown,
San Quentin to the edge of the Big Town.
Im a man of the people,
in the home of the brave, and Im no mans slave.

Because Im free,
I deserve everything I can get.
Im American.
Im American.

If you voted for the man youre wasting time.
Hes got his fingers dipped in everyones pie.
The news cant wait to promote
all the bullshit this government is selling.

Ive got this plan in motion, countdown.
Assassinate, terminate, smack down.
Theres a war in my head and it needs to be said.
If they think they can take me theyre dead.

Because Im free,
I deserve everything I can get.
And Ill get everything I can get.
Im American.
Im American.

What do you believe in?
What are you living for?
Do you want what theyre selling you,
another television war?

I cant stop! I feel I gotta have more!
Thats right, more!
I want more!
More!

Because Im free,
I deserve everything I can get.
Im American.
Im American.

Because Im free,
And Ill get everything I can get.
Im American.
Im American.

Are you free?
You deserve everything you can get.
Im American.
Im American.

Yeah Im free,
I deserve everything I can get.
Im American.
Im American.

Back streets . . . oh hell,
back where I started from
theres not a thing . . . but you.
When they took you, when they took you from me and left you bleeding on that concrete floor.
One mans obsession is another mans trash,
and Mary was more than a whore.

And every day I breathe I remember more.
Ive become something you wouldnt believe!

Ive got this number burned in my brain,
a walking nightmare, only slightly insane.
They tried to take my fight, almost took my life.
They took my truth from me.
But when they left me, they didnt know me, cause Im like a lion thats about to roar.
Mistakes you make, you take to your grave.
And now Im gonna even the score.

And every day I live I remember more.
I aint got nothing to sell,
but its time to pay attention,

Im back with one foot in hell.
Im back.

Theres nothing left but memories here
of something that I didnt begin with.
You wanted to believe in something
until the end.

Yeah Im like a ghost back from the dead.
I need revenge. Gonna have his head.
Im gonna finish this and X marks the spot.
Im gonna find him give him all that I got.

And every day I breathe I remember more.
I aint coming at you with something to sell,
but you better believe,

Im back with one foot in hell.
Im back.

Culture hostage.
Im writhing in the cold grasp of justice,
as she turns away.
Blind is she supposed to be but,
someone took a razor to her mask.

Rusted now the scales you hold,
the balance tipped by the weight of gold.
When will it end?
When will it ever end?

The judgment man holds my fate,
as I beg forgiveness with the
plastic smile of a candidate.

They take for granted that Im out of my mind and theyre wasting their time to care.
So all my reasons are damned before theyre heard.
Im held hostage by their words.
What will lead us to tolerance
if we dont question our prejudice?

Courage is such a lonely word,
patience, in time these truths will be known.
Please, dont keep looking away.
You see fortunes are on line, reputations at risk, and theres fear in the hearts of all of you that believe that youre right,
and thats your right.
But are you . . . right?

The judgment man holds my fate,
as I gaze around the room,
their eyes are like knives, could decapitate.
They take for granted that Im out of my mind and Im wasting their time, dont show, dont show me my fate.

Reasons are damned, cant understand.
If I fall to pieces theyll know . . .
hes out of his mind and hes wasting our time, we know. As I sense my fate . . .
His reasons be damned, cant understand him.
. . . and now all my reasons are damned before theyre heard. Im held hostage by their words.
Im a hostage.

When I'm lost...I find a way.
I hear voices. Feel them surround me,
pull me from the edge.
I close my eyes and....

And my luck keeps holding strong,
even when that boot comes down.
Waiting for the revolution but there's no one around except the
...hands out of nowhere, saving me again
There's always something there watching out for me,
if I'm suffocating, it gives me air.

Finally now I remember,
but where I'm going now, I'm not sure.
Only one thing matters much to me anymore.


I'm looking for you.
Can you imagine? You can't think.
You won't find a way this time to frighten me.
You're running scared now, always looking
over your shoulder for a place


where you don't see my face.

When my luck keeps holding so strong,
even with the state I'm in.
I'm like a revolution of one, even when I stumble I win.


Because there's hands out of nowhere, saving me again.
There's always something there, watching out for me.
When I'm suffocating, it gives me air.

I'm like a cat with only a few lives left,
running from the shadows.
Watching my back waiting for the attack that I know is
coming...I feel it's near.

Wonder whered the time go?
There it was, gone in the blink of an eye.
See how much life is left
staring back in my face?
But I know it now as clear as,
clear as a window.

Never thought this day would come,
I never thought Id see.
half my life is gone.
Thought Id never live to see . . .
Never thought this day would come . . .
I never thought Id see half my life is gone
Thought Id never live to be . . . much of anything.

Everything moves faster now.
Were living at the speed of light.
I stand here fascinated,
watching as it all goes by.
Maybe I should live whats left . . . like it was my last.

Never thought this day would come . . .
I never thought Id see half my life is gone.
Id never live to see . . .
Never thought this day would come . . .
I never thought Id see half my life is gone
Id never live to be . . . much of anything.
Everything moves faster now.

Where are you now?
Feeling small.
Cant live without it?
You call this your best?
I made my life a mess.
And everyone but you sees it.
What a fool.
What are you gonna do,
make more excuses?
Dont worry,
Ill kill the bastard!

Imagine if you will, what it means . . .
this worthless life.
Tried my best to the scratch the surface
got bloody broken fingernails.

Convincing stories of achievement, lies.
All expectations smashed,
never could comply.
Generations come and go.
And what will I be,
the failure they see here?

Now, I cant remember!
All the signs say go!
Would I surrender?
To try to save your soul?
I cant remember!
All the signs say go!
Ill never surrender!
Time for heads to roll!


Do you think Ive got to have
one good reason?
The question stands,
how does he keep getting into my head?

I know Ill never see.
Ive got to get free.
No matter whats said,
Id rather see him dead!

You might be wondering why . . .
I cant take any more?
I cant take any more.
Ill tear him down! Im gonna tear him down!

Ive been called so many things
Now what do you see?
A failure dares to dream?

Now, I cant remember!
All the signs say go!
Would I surrender?
To try to save your soul?
I cant remember!
All the signs say go!
Ill never surrender!
I cant remember!
All the signs say go!
Would I surrender?
To try to save your soul?
I cant remember!
All the signs say go!

Convince me, mesmerize me
Feed me more lies.
Ill get stronger!
How do you get him out, out of your head?
I know Ill never see.
Ive got to get free.
No matter whats said,
I swear Ill see him dead!

I cant remember!
All the signs say go!
Would I surrender?
To try to save your soul?
I cant remember!
All the signs say go!
Ill never surrender!
Its time for heads to roll!

I cant remember!
All the signs say go!
Would I surrender?
To try to save your soul?
I cant remember!
All the signs say go!

Last time, missed my chance but never again.
The further away you slip, the more Ill dig in.
All things come around again
and this time Ill be ready and waiting.
You cant imagine dedication
that I now possess.

Theres no one left to save you.
Where you run I will follow.
Ill step by step re-arrange you.
Theres nowhere to hide.

Youll never see me coming but
youll feel the fear from my shadow.
With intensity, yeah, youll bleed.
Before its over youll age ten years older.
Time flows like a river . . . deep.
Im going to take you down.

Theres no one left to save you.
Where you run I will follow.
Ill step by step re-arrange you.
Theres nowhere to hide.

They say let the world change you
and you can change the world.
Theyll bit by bit re-arrange you.
I cant change the world.

Its taken me years to get to this place.
I found you hiding inside a persona
you built from my pain.
Fortune has finally come and
vengeance is mine Ive won.
Ill take the world now by storm.

Do I let the world change me?
Do I lead or follow?
Theyll step by step re-arrange me.
Let them all try!

If I let the world change me,
step by step re-arrange me.
If I focus on tomorrow,
maybe I could change the world!

You think youre smart, inventive
because youve figured out my game?
Pride is a handy substitute,
when youve got only yourself to blame.
All my dreams Ive realized while you . . . were indisposed.
While youve spent eighteen years watching TV,
Ive watched my fortune grow.

Here I amIm finally on the outside and
Youre nowhere near where Ive been!
Ive got you where I want you . . . at last.
Youve got no idea who I am!
We circle around each other waiting for reaction
We circle around each other waiting for reaction
wanting satisfaction for the past.
I want nothing . . . from the past.

Always been so easy youre like a puppet on my string,
throwing down hollow threats, unsure of what to think.
Why should I care?
You wouldnt dare!
Youre nothing but worthless . . . I swear.

From where I stand Ive got you where I want you.
Youll never take me! Never take me down!
Ive seen all I need to put you in the ground
Revenge is normal, a typical reaction
Ive seen your cynical reaction . . .
if youre standing outside of in.
always on the outside of in.

Here we are at last facing oblivion . . .
And this is where finally it ends.
You dont belong here.
holding fast to each of our sins.
With hope by my side, Ill survive to see the dawn.
Believe me or not . . . you owe me.
I owe you nothing!
I gave your life a purpose!
I owe you nothing but your death!
Without me you would have learned nothing!

She said, Baby, where you been?
Whyd you have to leave me?
Im on the other side . . . just looking in.
Ive been so high; I climbed to the mountaintop,
looked at myself and . . .

Id tell you anything you want to hear.
And Id desert you when Im through.
Id say anything because true love
dont mean a thing to a man, whos not a man, but a fool.

Look at me!
Youre a model of efficiency.
Im always doing what he tells me.
How can you change it now?

Im always looking for it down deep inside,
I thought that this would change my life.
Have you found out?
I remember more . . .
Can you change?
I can change.

For years he must have cried a river of tears.
In his dreams he saw himself . . . a dying man
drawing figures, arrows in the sand.
Mmm, I dont think he understands.
Never thought that it would last forever.
One glance back . . . theres nothing much to say.
He watched as it all began spinning further and further from the truth.

And nothing really matters, when your heart doesnt lead the way.

Where are you now?
Feeling small.
Cant live without it?
You call this your best?
I made my life a mess.
And everyone but you sees it.
What a fool.
What are you gonna do,
make more excuses?
Why dont you tie it off?
Hang myself?
End your pathetic little life!

What is your life worth now?
Is this what you pictured for yourself?

Do you understand anything?

Youre not there yet.
Youre not anywhere yet.
Am I closer?
Go back to your mountain.

I feel like Im rising,
as everything falls away.
I feel old like the cold wind
blowing outside today.

Got my finger on the trigger and no one cares.
When they find me face down in the river
will they just leave me there?

Hang on, dont let go!
Just hang on! Dont let go!

Come on, come on
gotta take a ride,
Fear City slide.
Last chance @ suicide.

Come on, come on
leave your head outside,
youve built a lie.
Last chance @ suicide.

Come on, come on
lets take a ride!
Last chance @ suicide.

Will anyone remember?
Will they learn from my mistakes?
Sometimes it takes a lifetime of pain to change.

Im closing on the edge here and youve heard it all before . . .
but what good did any of my life bring?
What was it really for?

Hang on dont let go!
Just hang on and dont let go!

Come on, come on
gotta take a ride,
Fear City slide.
Last chance @ suicide.

Come on, come on
leave your head outside,
youve lived a lie.
Last chance @ suicide.

Come on, come on
lets take a ride!
Last chance @ suicide.

Take me to the top of the sky . . . and
let me look down . . .
the long mile down.
When will the darkness end?

Hang on, dont let go!
Just hang on and dont let go!

Come on, come on
gotta take a ride,
Fear City slide.
Last chance @ suicide.

Come on, come on
leave your head outside,
youve lived a lie.
Last chance @ suicide.

Come on, come on
lets take a ride!
Last chance @ suicide.

Is there some other way out of here?
Somewhere I could find myself?
Cant sleep enough, cant stay high.
All the promises . . . just another lie.

Ive always been afraid except . . .
in the moments that I loved you.
The only time I felt strong
was when you stood next to me.
I could make a stand if . . .
I could hold your hand again . . .

The road Ive traveled is the hard way down,
always playing another mans fool.
They offered a way inside
with the promise of forgiveness. Its a lie.
Could you forgive what Ive done?

We had it all, but couldnt see anything.
The blind leading the blind
through the darkest night.

When you said you loved me
it made me feel alive.
When you said you loved me it made me feel . . .
like I could fly.

Ive always lived afraid except . . .
in the moments that I loved you.
The only time I felt strong was when you stood next to me.
I could make a stand if . . .
I could hold your hand again.

We had it all, but couldnt see anything.
The blind leading the blind through
the darkest of nights.
When you said you loved me it made me feel alive.

When you said you loved me
it made me feel . . . like I could fly.

Ive always been afraid except in the moments
that I loved you.

( nobody knows this is the end of the story or is it a open end )

What? You say you're through with me
I'm not through with you
We've had what others might call love
You say it's over now,
What's done, what's through?
You can't stay away, you need me
I need you
When the fire starts the pain's too much
For your mind
You need attention, what's good is only mine
I can cure the hunger that burns in your heart
Just come to me
I'll take you home
We'll walk in the shadows
By day we'll live in a dream
We'll walk in the shadows
You say you don't feel safe alone tonight
Cause you feel the pressure building in your head
Our secret's safe for one more night
But when the morning comes remember
I'll be with you
We'll walk in the shadows
By day we'll live in a dream
We'll walk in the shadows
One day you'll be with me
If only you believe
- 간 주 중 -
We'll walk in the shadows
By day we'll live in a dream
We'll walk in the shadows
By day we'll live in a dream
We'll walk in the shadows
We'll walk in the shadows
We'll walk in the shadows
We'll walk in the shadows
We'll walk in the shadows
We'll walk in the shadows

Every time I leave
You say you won't be there.
And you're always there.
Every time I cry your name at night,
you pull close and say it's alright.
I look in your eyes, just like the rain.
Washing me, rain wash over me.
Touching your face, I feel the heat
of your heartbeat echo in my head like a scream.
What you do to me!
Waited so long I can't wait another day without you.
Jet City Woman.
It's a long way, home to my
Jet City Woman.
I see her face everywhere, can't get her out of my mind.
Whenever I'm alone I'm thinking,
there's a part missing from my life.
Wonder where I'd be without your love
holding me together now I'm
watching the time tick, tick away.
Face grows longer every day.
Fortunes are lost on the women I've seen
but without you I can't breathe!
You're the air to me!
Waited so long, I'm all alone thinking about you.
Jet City Woman.
Got to find my way home to her.
Jet City Woman.
I see her face everywhere I look!
Jet City Woman.
Just a thousand miles and I'll be there
Jet City Woman, to make the clouds go away.
Time for some blue sky!
Waited so long now the plane's delayed
and hour, reminds me of all our days apart.
Hold on, just a little longer.
Jet City Woman.
Wonder where I'd be, you're the air to me.
Jet City Woman.
Eyes like the rain, rain down on me.
Jet City Woman.
No more nights alone I'm almost home now.
Jet City Woman.
Close my eyes, I'm there in my Jet City.
