Yesterday's Lost lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
If this life ends early
Would I have spent our time right?
Here at your mercy
Or lost in our biggest fight
I'm so afraid of a life lived without you
But we're made to wait
For the truth to come soon
But should you go before me
I'll be right behind you
It won't get any easier
As I start to get old
Please share with me something
Before I lose control
Life's a parade
Travelers marooned
Here in a play
That shortly will end soon
But should you go before me
You'll know
I don't want you to go
Goodbye, Sunshine lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
Goodbye, Sunshine
Oh, the more I wait, the less the time is mine
As new fades to old
Watch the truth reveal, the less I want to know
Old habits die hard tonight
No, I don't wanna be your kind
Oh, I don't wanna do that grind
Every damn night, struggling through life
Holding onto the wrong end of the knife
Oh, things are gonna be alright
Even though it may seem hard at first sight
Be as they might, words that spark fights
I believe in the dark, we'll find the light
Goodbye, Sunshine
Goodbye, Sunshine
I'll be the first in line here at your wake, celebrating the good times
I won't stay mad, we played our parts
And those were the breaks, so maybe some things were hard
It was so worth a good goddamn, but all things end
I can't have you back, but some things are better off dead
The evil you shed for me, you said
Were results of an honesty misread
I must confess, the trap I set
I set to reignite
Old habits die hard tonight
No, I don't wanna be unkind
No, I don't wanna do that grind
Every damn night, struggling through life
Holding onto the wrong end of the knife
Oh, things are gonna be alright
Even though it may seem hard at first sight
Be as they might, words that spark fights
Fuck with me
Who turned out the lights?
Goodbye, Sunshine
Goodbye, Sunshine
I'll be the first in line here at your wake, celebrating the good times
I won't stay mad, we played our parts
And those were the breaks, so maybe some things were hard
It was so worth a good goddamn, but all things end
I can't have you back, but some things are better off
Everybody wants to blame it all on luck
But maybe everybody's tryna pass the buck
So when the blame falls in on us
You'll do what you must to earn the time of your life
The greedy needs of you and me, oh
Goodbye, Sunshine
I'll be the first in line here at your wake, celebrating the good times
I won't be mad, we played our parts
And those were the breaks, maybe some things were hard
It was so worth a good goddamn, but all things end
I can't have you back, but some things are better off dead, oh
I won't stay mad, we played our parts
And those were the breaks, some things were hard
So worth a good goddamn, but all things end
I can't have you back, but some things are better off dead
Searching For Tomorrow lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
Last chance to figure things out
Oh, will you fail to answer when your body can't stay still?
Hardly ever had a clue
Enhance, the future becomes so clear
But it doesn't matter 'cause you find you were never here
You were never wanted
Livid, livid, livid, livid
You're so convincing
Inching, inching out
Up to no good
Searching for tomorrow
Misunderstood
Well, you're headed straight into the flames
You dance between the true and false
To salvage something, but you learn that you lost it all
You finally learn that you can lose
Now that reality's sank in
Alone is always how you've been
Hardly ever had a clue
You're so convincing
Inching, inching out
Up to no good
Searching for tomorrow
Misunderstood
Well, you're headed straight into the flames
Left into it, you're out of your mind
It's so good to let go, so good to let go
Let them know it's by design
Up to no good
Searching for tomorrow
Misunderstood
Well, you're headed straight into the flames
Left into it, you're out of your mind
It's so good to let go, so good to let go
Let them know it's by design
Up to no good
Searching for tomorrow
Misunderstood
Well, you're headed straight into the flames
Left into it, you're out of your mind
It's so good to let go, so good to let go
Let them know it's by design
Let them know it's by design
Let them know it's by design
The Father Of Make Believe lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
I see them for who they are
Baring their shields and scars
Jokers behind the cards
Common-age criminals, serial who trading memories for miracles
Covering up the score before our eyes
With a stance no one's yet surmised
When all the lines blur between all that's wrong and right
Just take my hand, when the monsters turn out the lights
Oh
And you'll find I'm not how you remember me
I'm the vision that you choose to see
The one you can hate or love as you need
In time's absence, more than memory
So now, at your darkest, I'll come as promised
I'm the Father of Make Believe
Father of Make Believe
Father of Make Believe
Pride and grace are feeling outnumbered
In moments where nothing is as it seems or as it fits
Pushed out of place, where our memories
Now enemies, fill voids to take up space
When all the lines blur between all that's wrong and right
Just take my hand, when the monsters turn out the lights
Oh
And you'll find I'm not how you remember me
I'm the vision that you choose to see
The one you can hate or love as you need
In time's absence, more than memory
So now, let me share with you something honest
Father of Make Believe
Where have all of the angels gone to burn their wings?
When all the lines blur between all that's wrong and right
Just take my hand, when the monsters turn out the lights
Oh
And you'll find I'm not how you remember me
I'm the vision that you choose to see
The one you can hate or love as you need
In time's absence, more than memory
So now, at your darkest, I'll come as promised
I'm the Father of Make Believe
Meri Of Mercy lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
The familiar feels so foreign
As I search these spots
For a trail I forgot
Once so young, now feeling my age
As my time comes to a close
As I watch from the window
So tell me why
It's so hard to escape
Out of time and out of place
Yeah, I made up my mind, I'm getting out, I'm
I won't know her for much longer
I'm screaming from the top
Screaming from the top
I just need you to stop
Meri
I'm not gonna quit
Until I can sit at the end of this life
With you there beside me
Is there something wrong with me?
I know those times were tough
As the lights rose in and out
No, there wasn't much time
I didn't have time to say
What you mean
Can't you see, Meri?
Meri
I'm not gonna quit
Until I can sit at the end of this life
With you there beside me
When all goes dark
And I can't see
All my memories lost
I'll know you're always with me
Meri
I'm not gonna quit
Until I can sit at the end of this life
With you there beside me
When all goes dark
And I can't see
All my memories lost
I'll know you're always with
Meri
I'm not gonna quit
Until I can sit at the end of this life
With you there beside me
When all goes dark
And I can't see
All my memories lost
I'll know you're always with me
Blind Side Sonny lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
Hey, I'm Blind Side Sonny
Here to give you the news
The kind you won't like cause it involves you
You want to take me, take me for all I got
Well, you got to catch me
Are you ready of not?
Decide once and for all
Is it trouble you want?
Cause he in your lies
You're only going to get caught
And now you're going to face
Your biggest fear
Your ass is no longer welcome here
Blood, we want blood, we want blood
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Give us some
We want blood, we want blood, we want blood
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Give us some
Go on
Give me some
Go on give me your tears
Know this for a fact
I will not hear
Your retaliation doesn't mean shit
Go on give me a myriad of reasons
I've had to relive through the times
Of all the unpleasantries and crimes
Used up all of your nine lives
Don't fool yourself, Sonny
Now you're living in mine
Blood, we want blood, we want blood
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Give us some
We want blood, we want blood, we want blood
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Give us some
Dancing through a mental breakdown
I find I am always met with doubt
I'll show my baby I can
Change to become something better
But the work I put in isn't what I get out...
Blood, we want blood, we want blood
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Give us some
We want blood, we want blood, we want blood
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Give us some
Blood, we want blood, we want blood
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Give us some
We want blood, we want blood, we want blood!
Play The Poet lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
This place meant for our grave
The dark before the dawn, no place to be safe
What does a dead man say?
When riddled with regret in desperate plays
All my life, afraid of the someone that I could've been, and now I'm through
Relive the things that you don't want to, make you a better them to the ones who do
No sense in hiding that you know it
Blame yourself, now play the poet
I can't rely on you to play the game
And abide by the rules
Born to play the poet, fire your words like bombs and bullets
And aim for my head, go on, aim for my head
Take aim, made to stake claim
Close to something like resolve but the same for decades
Different language, the words you can't seem to say
How can this get any better? Here we go again
All my life, afraid of the someone that I could've been, and now I'm through
Does reliving things that you don't want to make you a better them to the ones who do?
I can't rely on you to play the game
And abide by the rules
Born to play the poet, fire your words like bombs and bullets
And aim for my head, go on, aim for my head
Relive the thing that you don't want to, make you a better them to the ones who do
Relive the thing that you don't want to, make you a better them to the ones who do
Relive the things that you don't want to, make you a better them to the ones who do
Relive the things that you don't want to, make you a better them to the ones who do
Now break your mind and try to find the right
It's all your life, the lines, the lies, now I
Now break your mind and try to find the right
It's all your life, the lines, the lies now
I can't rely on you to play the game
And abide by the rules
Born to play the poet, fire your words like bombs and bullets
And aim for my head, go on, aim for my head
I can't rely on you to play the game
And abide by the rules
Born to play the poet, fire your words like bombs and bullets
And aim for my head, go on, aim for my head
Aim for my head
One Last Miracle lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
A marathon through oblivion
Sound the alarm, we're coming in
If the water should run out while you're in the fire's mouth
Hold me, I'm hoping for a miracle
When reality bends way beyond
Your imagination
Look and you will find me here
In revelation
One last miracle, a fortune sold on television
Where our truth's coming from, so damaged beyond recognition
Ad placement will keep things clever, preoccupied with the now or never
One last miracle, stay tuned for the revolution
An angel here within our arms
Its chorus formed from cold to warm
If you had a shred of doubt, a liar named devout
A hero longing for a criminal
When reality bends way beyond
Your imagination
Look and you will find me here
In revelation
One last miracle, a fortune sold on television
Where our truth's coming from, so damaged beyond recognition
Ad placement will keep things clever, preoccupied with the now or never
One last miracle, stay tuned for the revolution
No, oh, yeah
On to the revolution
No, oh, yeah
Oh, the revolution
One last miracle, a fortune sold on television
Where our truth's coming from, so damaged beyond recognition
Ad placement will keep things clever, preoccupied with the now or never
One last miracle, stay tuned for the revolution
Corner My Confidence lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
Lady
I know you're here with me somehow
Lately
It feels the future's left me out
Wait for the curtains to fall on your past
How could I be so certain this
Would be the last
Place I came so close
To be the one you chose?
Endings don't come any easier
As I needed one, you stole the sun
Caught in the flare, we were amateurs
Scared to get burned as time slowly
Turns to the unknown
I corner my confidence
And together, we break the mold
Save me
I fear I'm drowning in my doubt
Hold me
My time is quickly running out
Endings don't come any easier
As I needed one, you stole the sun
Caught in the flare, we were amateurs
Scared to get burned, as time slowly
Turns to the unknown
I corner my confidence
Don't let me go
Your hand's the only one I hold
And together, we'll break the mold
You're my only need
I'd relieve our worst days over
For one inch closer
I just want you to stay here with me
Wait for the curtains to fall on your past
How could I be so certain I would be the last
One you finally chose?
I corner my confidence
And together, we break the mold
Someone Who Can lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
This is us
Running out of magic, losing touch
All or nothing
Swimming against the under currently
I'm accountable for every little obstacle
In your way
What do you need me to say?
I'm over it
Matters of the heart broken to bits
The end hits
With insecurities turned habits
Living with these right or wrongs
Terrified to tear apart this song
There's nothing left to let go
There's nothing left to let go
There's no time to look back
Straight as arrows
Head to the light at the end of the road
This can't be all that we
Wanted for us in the here and right now
I won't fight for the old life
Help me try to understand
I just want to be someone who can
When life throws a curve at you, know that
I got no sympathy, son
Now give me love
Give me light
Give me fire
No, maybe don't drive crazy
Come on lady, let's just dance once more
The hours' yours
This can't be all that we
Wanted for us here in the here and right now
I won't fight for the old life
Help me try to understand
I just want to be someone who can
(Someone who can)
When the lines of the road
Vanish in your tracks
Life fades on a day that
You'll never get back
When you feel abandonment
All sympathies gone
Give me light
Give me love
Give me fire
Give me light
Give me love
Give me fire
This can't be all that we
Wanted for us here in the here and right now
I won't fight for the old life
Help me try to understand
I just want to be someone who can
I just want to be someone who can
The Continuum I: Welcome To Forever, Mr Nobody lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
Would you like to initiate free fall?
Life can be so demanding
When anxiety strikes, capable of withstanding
The pressures you never
Never thought there'd be when you're with somebody
Why can't I just let this go?
Hide inside something else's shadow
I'm desperate for release
Wrestled down to my knees
No matter how tough I think I may be
I plead
Is it so hard to see
A better version of me?
I know life isn't fair
But it gets worse when you're going nowhere
A fear growing since they found us
Voiced my distress, difficult to process
Inside my fantasy of conflicts
I'm scared to question if
If the real me still exists
Plead
Is it so hard to see
A better version of me?
I know life isn't fair
But it gets worse when you're going nowhere
My time, it just don't mean shit
In a world of one where I live
Lying beneath all that's left of the dream
Headstone reads "Mr. Nobody"
Mr. Nobody
Will I forgive or submit to these hard times?
I've made up my mind
To leave this behind
No, the life that I've lived through in this state of review
I reject both old and new you
This is forever now
Please
Is it so hard to see
A better version of me?
I know life isn't fair
But it gets worse when you're going nowhere
A bit part actor playing
The world's smallest violin
Standing beneath an abandoned marquee
Where the words read "Mr. Nobody"
Welcome to forever, Mr. Nobody
Welcome to forever, Mr. Nobody
You'll find it harmonious
The confines of loneliness
Welcome to forever, Mr. Nobody
The Continuum II: The Flood lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
We had our sunshine
In a life so surreal
A restricted lifetime
Where death becomes real
I can't find
Where I fit in this place
To trace the lines
That age gave to our face
Understand
You should be afraid of me
Time lost the key
That unlocks the beat of my heart
Where I once loved
Now pumps cold blood
You mean nothing to me
A memory lost on the flood
Oh, if I could, I would leave you here
To soldier onward, to face what you fear
The choice isn't mine
To have my time erased
Will you remember
I took up this space?
Are you afraid of me?
Time lost the key
That unlocks the beat of my heart
Where I once loved
Now pumps cold blood
You mean nothing to me
A memory lost in the flood
In the days, through the light, the shade saves me from
What you cannot be, I couldn't give to you
With the chance to leave comes the chance I take
To lose everything power illuminates
Water rushing
Everlasting
Over all these precious things
Hear them whispering
Sharing secrets
Through a force-fed lyric
I can't seem to dream anymore
I don't even dream anymore
Are you afraid of me?
Time lost the key
That unlocks the beat of my heart
Where I once loved
Now pumps cold blood
You mean nothing to me
But a memory lost in the flood
Ah, ah
Just memories lost in the flood
Flood, ah
Just memories lost in the flood
Where I once loved
Now pumps cold blood
When I cease to dream
I'm a memory lost in the flood
Ah, ah, ah
The Continuum III: Tethered Together lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
Your eyes on me
Search for things you can't see
Looking to find something better
Don't be afraid of whatever comes next
This now will be ours till it's severed
And all these ghosts don't scare me woke
Hold me close to your flame
We'll all sing together
From the first verse to the last word
Our voices will unify in harmony
Sing together, tethered forever
With the weight this carries
For the moment it brings
A target to seize good measure
In the end, I will make sure
We'll be on my terms
A bed I could lay in, forever unnerved
No regrets, never
At the stop or the start
Here is my chance to now pull it apart, so while
We'll all sing together
From the first verse to the last word
Our voices will unify in harmony
Sing together, tethered forever
Together
Together
And all these ghosts don't scare me woke
Hold me close to your flame
We'll all sing together
From the first verse to the last word
Our voices will unify in harmony
Sing together, tethered forever
We'll all sing together
From the first verse to the last word
Our voices will unify in harmony
Sing together, tethered forever
The Continuum IV: So It Goes lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
[Backwards:]
Please, somebody, open this lock
It's all in my head, these lines
That connect you and me and everything between us
It's all by design, the divide
Your experience from mine to decide how you feel about
Oh, the way I shake out of control
Don't look at me, I'm ashamed of what you'll see
But you keep on still with those eyes
From a space where someone like me shouldn't be alive
Oh, it feels so strange to watch
Life pass me by without so much
As a whisper, well, so it goes
Out of my head and into your arms
Confused by protection, I lost your affection
Mother, wake me 'cause sleeping, I'm not
It feels like a dream if dreams were just pins and needles
Buried deep inside my skin
There's no time to fiddle on the back of broken
The space behind his eyes, it scares the kids
Here at the end, where everyone begins
Oh, it feels so strange to watch
Life pass me by without so much
As a whisper, well, so it goes
Please, somebody open this lock
My mind is breaking apart
Is there a way for the light to escape the dark?
Please, somebody open this lock
My mind is breaking apart
Is there a way for the light to escape the dark?
Oh-oh-oh-oh, so I'm
I'm just a broken window
Oh, it feels so strange to watch
Life pass me by without so much
As a whisper
Well, so it goes
Well, so it goes
Well, so it goes
Key Entity Extraction VI - Melvin The Mistake lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
I'm getting tired of all the complaining
There's no sight of it ending
Our needs of today seem to get in the way
If only we surrendered to truth all for the better
Could be over much faster, and happier we'd be
Just cause one another, wake up, pretender
The world we've imagined is chained to the track, screaming
Full steam ahead
Everybody all aboard
Come what may
You're gonna have the time of your life with me
Young and reckless fool, what's at stake
If there's no risk you can take?
If you're feeling so sure
Then let me be your big mistake
Tell me something that I don't already know will keep me whole
Now that the foolish have come
With their tricks, all their positive outcomes
A thorn in my side, I've come to realize
Now get on the tracks, stupid
Full steam ahead
Everybody all aboard
Come what may
You're gonna have the time of your life with me
Motherfucker, fools! What's at stake
If there's no risk you should take?
If you're feeling so sure
Then let me be your big mistake
Sensitive subject, it's always something
Hurt someone's feelings, they come and they go
Narcissistic behavior, they can't see beyond the pale of their woes
Sensitive subject, it's always something
Hurt someone's feelings, they come and they go
Narcissistic behavior, they can't see beyond the pale of their woes
Grind into gravel
Grind into gravel
Grind into gravel
That left the emptiest silhouette
Grind into gravel
Grind into gravel
Grind into gravel
That left the emptiest silhouette
Full steam ahead
Everybody all aboard
Come what may
You're gonna have the time of your life, guaranteed
Young and restless fools, what's at stake
If there's no risk you can take?
If you're feeling so sure
Then let me be your big mistake
Full steam ahead
We're speeding toward a laughing catastrophe
Let me be your, let me be your big mistake
Full steam ahead
We're speeding toward a laughing catastrophe and I love it
Be your, let me be your big mistake
Key Entity Extraction VII - Yuko The Trivial lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
A long way till I get inside
The pretty grave that you dig, bright eyes
You laugh as I dive
This is more than a game, come out
I feel so ashamed about
The days we used to burn
I'm about to break
I'm about to break out
I'm about to break
I'm about to break out
Break out
Bury me
I'm so damn tired
My brain's on fire
And I can't sleep knowing you don't think
You're the one
It's so trivial
'Cause you just might be the one I need
I'm a little discouraged by
The things I find make you laugh make me cry
It's all so troubling
These lonely days and nights will serve you oh, so well
Go find yourself, go find yourself
And leave me out of all your your little show and tell
I'm so damn tired
My brain's on fire
And I can't sleep knowing you don't think
You're the one
It's so trivial
'Cause you just might be the one I need
There's no more that I can say to let you in
Little girl, little girl
I'm not waiting here, not waiting here no more
Yeah, I'm so tired
Yeah, I'm so tired
I'm so damn tired
My brain's on fire
And I can't sleep knowing you don't think
You're the one
It's so trivial
'Cause you just might be the one I need
I'm so damn tired
My brain's on fire
And I can't sleep knowing you don't think
You're the one
It's so trivial
'Cause you just might be the one I need
You just might be
You just might be
The one I need
Key Entity Extraction VIII - Peter The Wishing lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
When I stepped out of the house
How could I know those words
We shared would be our last?
And the world would come down around us
Ooh, where the window screen just won't budge
And your image still lives
Reflecting in headlights, tears, and skin
I would give anything
If I could have my way
I'd have you stay
But in my manic memory
You remain my everything
If I could hear your voice
What would you say?
Look how far you've come
Son, you've already won
Wishing my faith upon it
Here we go, 11:11
This can't be the way
I dreamt it could be
So far away, emptied of all
All of my love
So goodnight, my king
Goodnight and goodbye
My grip pressed tight to the wheel
The sun in my eyes
To greet me back
To a world that can't be real
If I could have my way
I'd have you stay
But in my manic memory
You remain my everything
If I could hear your voice
What would you say?
Look how far you've come
Son, you've already won
Wishing my faith upon it
Here we go, 11:11
The stone shares the name
While the dirt holds nothing
Words will impart
The strength to move, to start
This life will not wait
With the pain I try to tame
The fire in this heart
And the truth that we all
Are going to lose someone
Oh, when my memories die
I will lose all of you, and I'm not ready
To let you go, oh no
And through the waves I row
To an end so near, she's coy, she's calling
Be patient, it's your time to let go
Of the tender moments that won't come tomorrow
Words no longer have a way
Of conveying the need to say
And as the moment mounts
I wish forever you could stay
I want everyone to stay around always
Hold on to me forever to wherever we go
I want everyone to stay around always
Hold on to me forever to wherever we go
I want everyone to stay around always
Hold on to me forever to wherever we go
Key Entity Extraction IX - Shiloh The Selfish lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
Ah, don't you tease me please, I'm fragile, you know
On my hands, my knees, I'm begging you so
These words I give to you
Don't mean much to help diffuse
The situation is taut between borrowed and bought
So look at me now, I'm breaking apart
Save your skin for the butcher is coming home
Hey doll, you're living in a slaughterhouse
Kiss his lips and let him walk right in, you sellout
Let him know that it's just business, you're just trying to live
In the wrong place, someone else's bed, why?
You can't beat yourself up, got no time to cry for help
Now get up, you're in the business of saving yourself
You can't find a better way, you can't leave me alone
No self-defense, no luck, I need some help
All our gods are here
Watch them all get off for cutting 'em off, cutting 'em off
Save your skin for the butcher is coming home
Hey doll, you're living in a slaughterhouse
Kiss his lips and let him walk right in, you sellout
Let him know that it's just business, you're just trying to live
In the wrong place, someone else's bed, why?
You can't beat yourself up, got no time to cry for help
Now get up, you're in the business of saving yourself
Oh, my dear, I'm yours, yours
The notion as we near the time
Of our lives, ripe with decay
Unknown to our dismay
The grave where I may lay
The cell, you know the drill
Useless mute of the dark
The cross, a token of fear
I can, I can hear and see everything before it's coming
Save your skin for the butcher is coming home
Hey doll, you're living in a slaughterhouse
Kiss his lips and let him walk right in, you sellout
Let him know that it's just business, you're just trying to live
In the wrong place, someone else's bed, why?
You can't beat yourself up, got no time to cry for help
Now get up, oh, get up
Now baby, it's just business, you're just trying to live
In the wrong place, someone else's bed, why?
You can't beat yourself up, got no time to cry for help
Now get up, you're in the business of saving yourself
You're in the business of saving yourself
Just Like Heaven lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
(originally by The Cure)
"Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream," she said
"The one that makes me laugh," she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it
And I promise you
I promise that I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face, I kissed her head
Dreamed of all the different ways
I had to make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Why won't you ever know
That I'm in love with you?
That I'm in love with you?"
You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, strange as angels dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water, you're just like a dream
Just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
Moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone, alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
You, soft and lonely
You, lost and lonely
You, just like heaven
Welcome To New York lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
(originally by Taylor Swift)
Walkin' through a crowd, the village is aglow
Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats
Everybody here wanted somethin' more
Searchin' for a sound we hadn't heard before
And it said
Welcome to New York, it's been waitin' for you
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
Welcome to New York, it's been waitin' for you
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
It's a new soundtrack, I could dance to this beat, beat forevermore
The lights are so bright, but they never blind me, me
Welcome to New York, it's been waitin' for you
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
When we first dropped our bags on apartment floors
Took our broken hearts, put them in a drawer
Everybody here was someone else before
And you can want who you want
Boys and boys and girls and girls
Welcome to New York, it's been waitin' for you
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
Welcome to New York, it's been waitin' for you
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
It's a new soundtrack, I could dance to this beat, beat forevermore
The lights are so bright, but they never blind me, me
Welcome to New York (New York), it's been waitin' for you
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
Like any great love, it keeps you guessing
Like any real love, it's ever-changing
Like any true love, it drives you crazy
But you know you wouldn't change anything, anything, anything
Welcome to New York, it's been waitin' for you
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
Welcome to New York, it's been waitin' for you
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
It's a new soundtrack, I could dance to this beat
The lights are so bright, but they never blind me
Welcome to New York (New soundtrack), it's been waitin' for you
Welcome to New York, the lights are so bright, but they never blind me
Welcome to New York, so bright, they never blind me, yeah
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
Your Love lyrics - Your Love
(originally by The Outfield)
Josie's on a vacation far away
Come around and talk it over
So many things that I wanna say
You know I like my girls a little bit older
I don't want to lose your love tonight, yeah
'Cause I don't wanna use your
I don't wanna use your love tonight
I ain't got many friends left to talk to
Nowhere to run when I'm in trouble
You know I would do anything for you
Stand on up and keep it under cover
I don't want to lose your love tonight, yeah
'Cause I don't wanna use your
'Cause I don't wanna use your love tonight
Try to stop my hands from shaking
Something in my mind's not making sense
It`s been a while since we were all alone
You can't hide this way I'm feeling
As you leave, come please, would you close the door
And don't forget what I told ya
Just 'cause you're right, that don't mean I'm wrong
Another shoulder to cry upon
I don't want to lose your love tonight, yeah
'Cause I don't wanna lose your
'Cause I don't wanna lose your love tonight
'Cause I don't wanna lose your love tonight
'Cause I don't wanna lose your love tonight
'Cause I don't wanna lose your love tonight
'Cause I don't wanna lose your love tonight
'Cause I don't wanna lose your love tonight
'Cause I don't wanna lose your love tonight
'Cause I don't wanna lose your love tonight
'Cause I don't wanna lose your love tonight
Pompeii lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
(originally by Bastille)
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing's changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settles around us
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing's changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?
Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
(Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?)
Great clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above
(Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?)
Oh, how am I going to be an optimist about this?
Oh, how am I going to be an optimist about this?
If you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing's changed at all?
Under The Milky Way lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
(originally by The Church)
Sometimes, when this place gets kind of empty
Sound of their breath fades with the light
I think about the loveless fascination
Under the Milky Way tonight
Lower the curtain down on Memphis
Lower the curtain down, all right
I got no time for private consultation
Under the Milky Way tonight
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
And it's something quite peculiar
Something shimmering and white
It leads you here, despite your destination
Under the Milky Way tonight
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
And it's something quite peculiar
Something shimmering and white
Leads you here, despite your destination
Under the Milky Way tonight
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
Under the Milky Way tonight
Under the Milky Way tonight
Under the Milky Way tonight
Stumbleine lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
(originally by The Smashing Pumpkins)
Boredom's in the bathroom shakin' out the loose teeth
Sally's in the stirrups claimin' her own destiny
And nobody nowhere understands anything
About me and all my dreams, lost at sea
Jack-it-up Judy set your heart alight
Mayfair mistress of the satellites
Misspent youth faking up a rampage
To hold off the real slaves, paid off and staid
And what you never knew can never get to you
So fake it
I'll be your Stumbleine, I'll be your super queen
And make you
Jukebox fuckup hangin' 'round the drugstore
No matter what you say he'll be back for more
Mommy's in the manger with the little kids
She's got her reasons, I got my forgets
Of tears and idle threats misplaced, and
And no matter what they do, they can't get to you
So fake it
I'll be your Stumbleine, I'll be your super queen
And make you me
Come around Ruby, I could never sleep alone
Sister Christian lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
(originally by Night Ranger)
Sister Christian, oh, the time has come
And you know that you're the only one
To say, okay
Where you going, what you looking for
You know those boys don't want to play no more with you
It's true
Motoring, what's your price for flight?
In finding mister right, oh
You'll be alright tonight
Babe, you know you're growing up so fast
And mama's worrying that you won't last
To say, let's play
Sister Christian, there's so much in life
Don't you give it up before your time is due
To you
Motoring, what's your price for flight?
You've got him in your sight
And driving through the night
Motoring, what's your price for flight?
In finding mister right, oh
You'll be alright tonight
There Is A Light That Never Goes Out lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
(originally by The Smiths)
Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
Driving in your car
I never, never want to go home
Because I haven't got one anymore
Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people
And I want to see lights
Driving in your car, oh, please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their home
And I'm welcome no more
And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten tonne truck kills the both of us
To die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought "Oh God, my chance has come at last"
But then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask
Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car, I never, never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
La-dee-dum, oh, I haven't got one
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten tonne truck kills the both of us
To die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
Oh, there is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
The Embers Of Fire lyrics - Coheed and Cambria
We all go up in flames
Going out in style
We all go up in
We all go up in
We all go up in flames
We all go up in
We all go up in
We all go up in flames
Beautiful Losers lyrics - Coheed and Cambria
Your weight on my shoulders
At the top I break down, I call out
Young lovers, please help me
They see with no sound when I shout
But I'm here to attest
With no hope that somehow
Where there's a will, there's a way out
Hey, Kid
There's no shame
Or reason to doubt
For crying out loud
Run like they're out for your blood
When life feels like zero
Beautiful Losers, you're my hero
Never thought I'd be a hero
Am I better off left
A half-empty glass and a thirst unquenched?
Stand up and defend
All you are and all you weren't
In my empty eyes can I find the 'me'?
The more I lie, I find the truth I seek
Hey, Kid
There's no shame
Or reason to doubt
For crying out loud
Run like they're out for first blood
When you're left with zero
Beautiful Losers, you're my hero
Never thought, never thought
Never thought I'd be a hero
The wrong side of courage
In a toy box of phobias
Hook, line and sinker
Time will bind, time will undo
Hey, Kid
There's no shame
No reason to doubt
For crying out loud
Run like the dead have risen
When you're left with zero
Beautiful Losers, you're my hero
Hey!
You'll always be my hero
Beautiful Losers
Comatose lyrics - Coheed and Cambria
I don't want to feel
Fuck it, keep me comatose
Come on, save me
She tells me what she wants
That only you can have your way
I don't want to be here
Like a photograph remains
You and I at the end of a bad night
Oh, maybe this is a a war
I'm so full of bad ideas
And trust me, you don't want to hear them
Tell me everything
Now draw the line
Now draw the line
'Cause I'm so afraid
To let you know
I'm letting go
Oh, I'm such a mess baby, this game's over
A one-man prison and no one gets in
I start to finish but just sit and spin alone
Don't get too close
I don't want to feel
Fuck it, keep me comatose
There's no more maybes, this is absolute
So don't stop now, today's the day
I know it's not what you want
It's not what you wanna hear
But what's it really matter when you're lost
Go sing a song for all the lonely hearts
No more wasted years
You're free to be as crazy as you want
But you can't cross the line
You're borderline
You're borderline
'Cause I'm so afraid
To let you know
I'm letting go
Oh, I'm such a mess baby, this game's over
A one-man prison and no one gets in
I start to finish but just sit and spin alone
Don't get too close
I don't want to feel
Fuck it, keep me comatose
Honey, keep me comatose
I'm so afraid
Afraid of you
Out of this world
And into all of you
Remember, that
I'm so afraid
To let you know
I'm letting go
Oh, I'm such a mess baby, this game's over
A one-man prison and no one gets in
I start to finish but just sit and spin alone
Don't get too close
I don't want to feel
Fuck it, keep me comatose
Don't get too close
I don't want to feel
Fuck it, keep me comatose
Shoulders lyrics - Coheed and Cambria
Listen now that I've got your attention
Got to let you know
I hate to see you go now that you're gone
We can enjoy the show
When you find them laughing at you
There's no worse thing
Hey
My wicked eyes do see
That I'm the one
With the world on my shoulders
You're going out of your way
Just to keep me down
Maybe we weren't made for each other
And I'm just the one you can keep around
Maybe all things have their misconceptions
That's the life you chose
Everyone is laughing at you, out to get you
But change is the exception
Time to brave your life outside the shadow
When they keep laughing at you
Dare you got to say
Hey
My wicked eyes do see
That I'm the one
With the world on my shoulders
You're going out of your way
Just to keep me down
Maybe we weren't made for each other
And I'm just the one you can keep around
You're going out of your way
Just to keep me down
Maybe we weren't made for each other
And I'm just the one you can keep around
You're going out of your way
Yeah, you're kicking me down
Maybe we weren't made for each other
But there's way worse things to keep around
A Disappearing Act lyrics - Coheed and Cambria
He lives inside an existence that strays far beyond
The time perceived as normal, bends all limitation
A king among the binary waves conjoined
In our reality, perceived to be null and void
While I wait for him to show me a sign or be destroyed
I implore... go on walk all over me
I'm a long, long way from giving up
Call me old fashion, call me a fool
His eyes a shade from waking up
A boy lost in the pattern
Over and over repeat
How long have you waited here?
For someone to touch you
For someone to hear you scream?
It's okay to be afraid, I'm here with you
Will we allow
Ourselves a cure before it does harm?
How long before the mind it gets too weak
Before it fails to witness
Before it gets a fair chance to start?
I'm a long, long way from giving up
Call me old fashion, call me a fool
His eyes a shade from waking up
A boy lost in the pattern
Over and over repeat
How long have you waited here?
For someone to touch you
For someone to hear you scream?
It's okay to be afraid, I'm here with you
A world in limbo waiting opening up
A world in limbo waiting to open for us
A world in limbo waiting opening up
A world in limbo waiting
A world in limbo waiting opening up
A world in limbo waiting to open for us
A world in limbo waiting opening up
A world in limbo waiting
How long have you waited here?
For someone to touch you
For someone to hear you scream?
It's okay to be afraid, I'm here with you
My love, we'll make it
My hands you can leave or take them
We're strong enough to face this fear
Now watch time disappear
Time disappear
Love Murder One lyrics - Coheed and Cambria
If you see me bleeding, leave me alone
Don't want you in my world throwing stones
This glass house isn't yours to call home
So we're done... game's over
Love murder one
Have we come to an understanding
Let's agree to disagree
Circumventing resolutions
And all they seem to lack
Yet keep us coming back
Oh, when I drink from your cauldron
I see through your witching eyes
The more it reveals that we're broken
In a love not meant to last it only lives to die
If you see me bleeding, leave me alone
Don't want you in my world throwing stones
This glass house isn't yours to call home
So we're done... game's over
Love murder one
I'll confess what your heart is feeling
In a Hallmark card of your fears
Tonight, you'll make your toast
Oh, to better days when all had seemed so right
I hear your heartbeat thumping
Screaming, "Honey, don't let me go"
I know you're up to something
I know you want to stay but I'm already gone
If you see me bleeding, leave me alone
Don't want you in my world throwing stones
This glass house isn't yours to call home
So we're done... game's over
Love murder one
If you see me, believe me, it's killing me slow
Don't care to live in this world anymore
Lights out, how do you call this fun?
Oh, we're done, game's over
Love murder one
I don't know how to tell you we're done
I don't know how to tell you it's over
But things have got to change
You must believe it
Oh, are you blind, do you, do you not see it?
If you see me bleeding, leave me alone
Don't want you in my world throwing stones
This glass house isn't yours to call home
Oh, we're done... the game's over
Love murder one
If you see me, believe me, it's killing me slow
Don't want to live in this world anymore
Lights out, how do you call this fun?
Oh, we're done, game's over
Love murder one
Game's over
Love murder one
Blood lyrics - Coheed and Cambria
Is there anyone in there?
Desired or left with all despair?
It feels so hard to need
A soul the world may never see
It won't matter to us
If you wake up my love
If you take my burning hand
Follow me into the fires of the sun
Oh, they fear what they don't know
And they'll be afraid of you for sure
'Cause you're my blood
You're my blood
Your eyes swim beneath
The uncertain and what's normally perceived
Do you know that I'm here?
It's true, the silence bores of a time before
It won't matter to us
If you wake up my love
If you take my burning hand
Follow me into the fires of the sun
Oh, they fear what they don't know
And they'll be afraid of you for sure
'Cause you're my blood
'Cause you're my blood
It won't matter to us
If you wake up my love
If you take my burning hand
Follow me into the fires
Oh, they fear what they don't know
And they'll be afraid of you for sure
'Cause you're my blood
You're my blood
Boy, you're my blood
The Liars Club lyrics - Coheed and Cambria
Liars
It's the fear that wakes us up
The truth that things are such a mess
Far beyond repair
Your mind outta service
Hard to find the words worth saying
What we do to deserve this
Everything seems broken when you look at it that way
Oh, it's a disease
And there ain't no cure
Oh, the truth is such a bore
Oh, do you want me to lie?
'Cause I could do it, baby, I could do it
Lie to you
Please ask me to
'Cause life feels so much better
When we just avoid the truth
Baby are you okay
To lie with me?
Deep in disgrace, with empty retreats
Farther than it seems to be
The older I creak the pain in my body
Longing for the days of my teens
Well, I guess I'll accept this garbage
Death behind the wheel with my momma steering
Jealousy here in the backseat
Oh, do you want me to lie?
'Cause I could do it, baby, I could do it
Lie to you
I'm begging you
'Cause life feels so much better
When we just avoid the truth
Baby are you okay
To lie with me?
Baby, are you okay?
Oh are you okay with it?
Baby, are you okay?
Okay with it?
'Cause I can do it baby
Oh, 'cause I can do it
Oh, 'cause I can do it
Oh, do you want me to lie?
'Cause I could do it, baby, I could do it
Lie to you
Please ask me to
'Cause life feels so much better
When we just avoid the truth
Baby are you okay
To lie with me?
'Cause I could do it, baby, I could do it
Lie to you
I'm begging you
'Cause I'd feel so much better
When we just avoid the truth
Baby are you okay
To lie with me?
Bad Man lyrics - Coheed and Cambria
I'm not here to spread your business
I'm just here to keep things cool
Oh, no you ain't got nothing to lose
No, what you got to prove?
Heaven and Hell be damned
If you're made to choose
Oh, it won't matter who's to blame or at fault
Honey, just know I'll be there when you want
When you need a bad man
A bad—mama, watch your mouth
They'll think twice about messing with you
You need a bad man
A bad—mama, call him out
Evil is as evil do
Better believe I'm in no mood
Go on calling for your mother
Good boy follows all the rules
Oh, what you got to prove?
When you're well beyond your use
Never felt so much alive
As I do when I'm here with you
When you need a bad man
A bad—mama, watch your mouth
They'll think twice about messing with you
You need a bad man, maybe
A bad—call him out
Evil is as evil do
Better believe I'm in no mood
Oh you need a bad man
Give you a bad man
Give you a bad man
A bad—mama, watch your mouth
They'll think twice about messing with you
You need a bad man
A bad—go on, call him out
Evil is as evil do
You need a bad man, maybe
A bad—mama, watch your mouth
They'll think twice about messing with you
You need a bad man
A bad—go on, call him out
Evil is as evil do
Better believe I'm in no mood
Our Love lyrics - Coheed and Cambria
Our love won't surrender to the odds up against us, no
But there's something about this I know we can't miss
Let's take a chance on forever
I'm reliving all those days you loved so well
Totally open, I became the one you fell
For worse or better, I would never dishonor
Give you all the ammo that you want, you deserve so
I'll be better once the arrow hits heart
Give you the wedding that you want
You are so out of my league
Out of my league
Oh, I'll be your guide when you wanna get lost
I'll be the sword at your side at all cost
Our love won't surrender to the odds up against us, no
But there's something about this, I know we can't miss
Let's take a chance on forever
Our love won't surrender to the odds up against us, no
But there's something about this, I know we can't miss
Let's do this now or we'll never
Ladders Of Supremacy lyrics - Coheed and Cambria
Oh, we've only got one chance at this
The severity unmerciful, as the tension sits
As the world comes into view
Our biggest fears they seem to all come true
So how we gonna handle this?
When the punch lands, boy, it's all about your fall
Go on swallow your defeat
Stay!
Down, boy! See ya got clowned boy
You got heart but sorry just ain't meant to be
Another one down the Ladders of Supremacy
The time has come for us
Accept all you've become
All your chances burned to ash
The end's begun
Here we watch as time moves on
Away from all the things we could have done
So how we gonna handle this?
When the punch lands, boy, it's all about how you fall
Go on swallow your defeat
Stay!
Down, boy! See ya got clowned, boy
You got heart, but sorry, just ain't meant to be
Another one down the Ladders of Supremacy
Evil does as evil do
All you want they took... from you
So, that's how it goes
Because who you are
Take a look
You knew you never had a chance
You never had a chance to be loved
No matter how hard you want to play
You'll always have one foot in the grave
You just want to live, but you were born to lose, to lose
Now get up from the gravel
And dust off your shoulders
Because, now it's your chance to prove
Climbing up the ladders of their supremacy
Was it everything you had dreamed?
Did you make your mark?
Or did you let them stand between?
Between you and everything
Rise, Naianasha (Cut The Cord) lyrics - Coheed and Cambria
Hell wakes you up choking
And you feel so afraid
Help is this my place
Searching to find what to say
Am I okay
The fear boy you own it
Guilty you find an angel in your arms
She's plucking her wings
She laughs while you go replace them
But there's something in your way
The mark that you missed
Caution you throw
Lost in the dark
Begging to go
And I'm going to tell ya
Tell all
There's a change of the guard
So you play your part
Assuming you know where to start
As pieces start coming apart
She'll stitch those wings to your heart
But it's not what you wanted
She looks deep in your eyes
She sees all your flaws
And pulls you together
Say what you want
Cause you are
Go on now let Heaven know
The beautiful boy that you are
Call me and I'll be there
When you need your great
Your great destroyer
Oh my baby boy
Don't you cry it's you and I
In a do or die
Overboard
Now cut the cord
Remember that blank space
Where static invades
All that you've succumbed
A dead mind once trapped in a change
In the dissaving grace
As you live out all outcomes
The forever you want
Is the never you'll get when you learn
That you're going to be so alone
Oh when your mother and I go
But you've go to believe
You've got to be strong for her
Call me and I'll be there
When you need your great
Your great destroyer
Oh my baby boy
Don't you cry it's you and I
In a do or die
Overboard
Now cut the cord
Silence your tongue
Divide your lives
And gift us all your love
Your day has come
Open your mind
And do what must be done
Call me and I'll be there
I'll be your great
Your great destroyer
Oh my baby boy
Don't you cry it's you and I
Do or die
Call me and I'll be there
When you need your great
Your great destroyer
Oh my baby boy
Don't you cry it's you and I
In a do or die
Overboard
Now cut the cord
Over and out there
You'll meet your great (I'm your great destroyer)
Your great destroyer (I'm your great destroyer)
Oh my baby boy
Don't you cry it's you and I
In a do or die
Overboard
Now cut the cord
Cut the cord
Cut the cord
Cut the cord
Window Of The Waking Mind lyrics - Coheed and Cambria
Time
Time has a funny way of playing jokes on you...
While you're waiting for what you think you know
Will happen next is never what you could've come to expect
And so it goes
And so it goes
Deep inside his eyes I see myself
As I wonder who he'll turn out to be
Is that a question that needs answering...
Right now?
And so concludes this chapter
As my parents unravel the entangled threads of my reality
Not of design but by accident
My perception in question
As I leave the infinite for the present
And rise...
A Window of the Waking Mind
Here's a simple story
And I hope I tell it well
Of a boy locked in a place
His mind, the very cell
Imprisoned with his wild visions
Of every time in space
There's no one in this world quite like him
The thing that complicates it
Is his parents and who they are
The law they're made to run from
Beyond the House of the Stars
The birth must be in secret
So no prying eyes can see
There's no one of this world quite like him
Our pride and joy
Are you there?
Are you in there, safe and sound?
Tell us what you need, so we can help you
We don't know what to do
We don't know what to do
Patronizing doctors
With their diagnostic leads
Carry on your query
It's blood, the boy, he bleeds
But you can't see him like you
So a monster he must be
There's no one in this world quite like him
Vaxis... Son...
Do you hear us?
Do you feel us?
Son!
Vaxis
Vaxis
Vaxis...
Vaxis, can you see us with your eyes?
Vaxis, can you hear us with your ears?
Is this right to calculate his moments?
To find what's normal... is being normal
What's right?
What's right?
Can you feel it?
No!
Can you hear it?
No!
Time
I'll take you home
This child of ours
I'll take you home
With all my love
I'll give you the world
And keep no secrets from you
So life gets tough
But it's no excuse or your fault
My brightest star
Shine your light on us all
Am I wrong or did he save me?
Shine your love on all this crazy
Who says you got to rush to get old?
Figure it all out or you'll be left in the cold
Little one, let them
Don't follow, just set them free
You can do it on your time
So you know I'll be watching you
Armed to the teeth
Don't you go poking
While the lion, he sleeps
My boy, it's okay to cry
I'm telling you...time!
Who says you got to rush to get old?
Figure it all out or you'll be left in the cold
Little one, let them
Don't follow, just set them free
You can do it on your time
So you know I'll be watching you
Armed to the teeth
Don't you go poking
While the lion, he sleeps
My boy, it's okay to cry
Time!
Prologue lyrics - Coheed and Cambria
Know now there is no time, space between the Well & Unknowing. Our story starts there. Well into our future, yet far beyond our past. In a romance between a pair of Unheavenly Creatures.
The Five Houses of the Star Supremacy have privatized the detention zones of the galaxy. These planetary prison pits reassembled from the cracked worlds of the Great Crash. Which brings us to our stage. Where the light must learn to love the black. The Dark Sentencer.
The Dark Sentencer lyrics - Coheed and Cambria
It begins with them, but ends with me. Their son, Vaxis
Here, emotions behold
You've entered a Hell where the Devil is made of gold
Please, don't run your mouth
The questions before have no place in his haunted house
Reveal your selfish pleasure
One more time round for good measure
In the answer you hold
Time would be better off if our souls had been sold
Here where the light only dies to remember
In a place where the blind truly can see
Hear my voice dearly departed
I beg on my knees
It's been my pleasure
To serve your disease
Welcome home
Shed your skin and expose your bones
Take my hand
And follow us into the black
So far that we can't get back
Here, dig me a grave
And toss in the lives that you can't be bothered to save
With their blood on your hands
You enjoy the sun while you shit in the purest sand
Kiss your lover with that filthy mouth you fucking monster
Here as evil now gropes
It's caught us off guard with its hand reaching for our throats
Here where the light only dies to remember
In a place where the blind truly can see
Hear my voice dearly departed
I beg on my knees
It's been my pleasure
To serve your disease
Welcome home
Shed your skin and expose your bones
Take my hand
And follow us into the black
So far that we can't get back
There's no telling when the truth is clear
Pay it no mind
Lines were drawn for us
For all sides
In the afterglow
Echoes of time unfold
Give me your word my dear
And promise you won't let go
It's a shame I fear
From end to start
We walked their lines
Born to play the fucking part
Shame I fear
From end to start
We walked their lines
Born to play the fucking part
I fear we got all we had wanted
Close your eyes and believe it didn't happen
Now shut your mouth beyond your lies
The world knows to stay away from you
In the blood you let run
They march as you lead
We laugh in the sun
Maybe that's all we need
I, and I, and I'm sorry
You can't escape
Here where the light only dies to remember
In a place where the blind truly can see
Hear my voice dearly departed
I beg on my knees
It's been my pleasure
To serve your disease
Welcome home
Shed your skin and expose your bones
Take my hand
And follow us into the black
So far that we can't get back
Welcome home
Welcome home
Unheavenly Creatures lyrics - Coheed and Cambria
We were young and had it all figured out
She was the quiet one and I had the mouth
Until she fell to me
We escaped through the alley in the back
Judge told me, Creature, don't you dare go back
But I couldn't dodge the ringing in my head
Her lonely, solemn voice, through the echoes as it said:
"Please don't leave me here, my love"
Oh, pretty angel, swinging from your cable
I fear, my dear, the end is near
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun
Did anybody treat you better?
To obey and follow to the letter
I fear, my dear, the end is here
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun
There was something I forgot to tell her then
Between the kiss and "knock em dead, kid"
"There will be no other like you"
Now I can't keep the guilt from my heart
These stuttering emotions keep me fixed to fall apart
I know I'm leaving all this sweat in our bed
A broken heart bleeding with a gun to my head
Oh, pretty angel, swinging from your cable
I fear, my dear, the end is near
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun
Did anybody treat you better?
To obey and follow to the letter
I fear, my dear, the end is here
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun
Like a son of a gun
A son of a gun
The weight of the world on the shoulders, can you feel the thunder?
All Unheavenly Creatures (oh, oh all the Unheavenly Creatures)
We're all Unheavenly Creatures
On the way to the car, I heard her voice a little louder
"Please don't leave me here, my love"
Oh, pretty angel, swinging from your cable
I fear, my dear, the end is near
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun
Did anybody treat you better?
To obey and follow to the letter
I fear, my dear, the end is here
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun
Oh, pretty angel, swinging from your cable
I fear, my dear, the end is near
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun
Did anybody treat you better?
To obey and follow to the letter
I fear, my dear, the end is here
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun
Toys lyrics - Coheed and Cambria
We can't dwell on what could've been
All apologies
The road that stretches out is calling us to find our way back home
You said it yourself, you said it yourself
I know I'm hard to stomach
But we need to move and get out of here
Before this joint erupts
And anywhere we go, we'll feel stuck
Oh, what you want from me is not impossible
Just give me some time to figure a way out of this mess
For you and me and I will, I will
Oh, you said it yourself, you said it yourself
What you said, when you said what you need from me
All apologies won't make things right with you tonight
Oh, can't you see, you're dragging me, I'm your favorite toy
Oh, I'm so sorry but make up your mind, we're out of time
Oh, mama, please, I'm on my knees, I'm your favorite boy
Now it's hard for me to come clean and I'll tell you why
I'm too damn ashamed, too damn ashamed
Did you miss me? Don't you lie
See, I told you so
Your broken heart is all my fault
There's no room to disguise
Oh, don't you cry, don't you cry
Oh, you said it yourself, you said it yourself
What you said, when you said what you need from me
All apologies won't make things right with you tonight
Oh, can't you see, you're dragging me, I'm your favorite toy
Oh, I'm so sorry but make up your mind, we're out of time
Oh, mama, please, I'm on my knees, I'm your favorite boy
Your favorite boy, your favorite boy
Your favorite boy, your favorite boy
Your favorite boy, your favorite boy
Oh, you said it yourself, you said it yourself
What you said, when you said what you need from me
All apologies won't make things right for you tonight
Oh, can't you see , you're dragging me, I'm your favorite toy
Oh, I'm so sorry but make up your mind, we're out of time
Oh, mama, please, I'm on my knees, I'm your favorite boy
Black Sunday lyrics - Coheed and Cambria
You leveled everything I ever loved
Disown me, disown me, disown me
You can't be everything that I ever wanted
Can't stop me, stop me, stop me
Hate, cause I am multiplying
Hate, cause I am multiplying
Who knew giving up would feel so good?
I, I lose, I lose
Keep pretending it's trust and see what that gets you
Your move, your move
I'll be the air you need when your lungs give out
Teasing, teasing, teasing
You'll be the care I need when I'm without
Loving, loving, love me
Hate, cause I am multiplying
Hate, cause I am multiplying
Who knew giving up would feel so good?
I, I lose, I lose
Keep pretending it's trust and see what that gets you
Your move, your move
Black Sunday, Black Sunday, Black Sunday
I'm tired of lying to you
And letting you down (Black Sunday)
The situation has turned raw from abuse
I'll be your clown
I'll be the one for you to use, Black Sunday
Cover over my eyes, cover over the lies
For you to use, Black Sunday
Cover over my eyes, cover over the lies
For you to use, Black Sunday
(We're here to catch the bomb)
La de da de da
Queen Of The Dark lyrics - Coheed and Cambria
Baby, I will be your falling star
The one that got away, the one you'll be dreaming of
Maybe we have been here once before
The darkness rearranged, you're hitting well below the waist
Wait, just relax
Now, behave, the past is all you have
All hurt in time gets better
When the truth came out, you were born to run
When the lights went out, there was no one
A ghost to haunt for closure
When the lights went out, there was no one
When the lights went out, there was no Queen of the Dark
Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark
Maybe things could be just like before
No more that I can say before the world awakes again
Is this everything you hoped for?
Lost in the lines between, the darkness found its queen
All hurt in time gets better
When the truth came out, you were born to run
When the lights went out, there was no one
A ghost to haunt for closure
When the lights went out, there was no one
When the lights went, when the lights went out
Queen of the Dark
Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark, oh
Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark, oh
All hurt in time gets better
When the truth came out, you were born to run
When the lights went out, there was no one
A ghost to haunt for closure
When the lights went out, there was no one
When the lights went out, there was no Queen of the Dark
Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark
Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark
Queen of the Dark
True Ugly lyrics - Coheed and Cambria
Oh, when the lights go out
Abandon reason, listen to them shout
Divine, these monsters of flesh and bone
Oh, they make hate look so easy, no kind
Oh, show me your true ugly
The stranger you move, the sweeter you become
Now show me the good you've done
Show me the animal
We are the animal
Oh, how the times run out
(Everybody down on the ground, now, everybody down, down, down, down)
Burn yourself here in the heat of the sun
Pray it comes undone
Scream your loudest, no one's coming
Oh, show me your true ugly
The stranger you move, the sweeter you become
Now show me the good you've done
Who raised these animals?
(Down, down, down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down, down)
(Bang, bang, bang, bang)
Broken migrant, knife through heel
Sing your praise so Hell can hear
Where did you come from?
The strange we walk, the touch we feel
Could you find a way to love us all?
Don't wake up
Show me stolen love
Everything, I need
Take away from me humility
Over and over I fuss, but I can't seem to sleep as they cut
Oh, no, you can't hurt me
Break, break, breaking up
Break, break, break, follow me
Break, break, breaking up
Break, break, break, follow me
Break, break, breaking up
Break, break, break, follow me
Break, break, breaking up
Break, break, break, follow me
Break, break, breaking up
Break, break, break, follow me
Break, break, breaking up
Break, break, can you hear me?
Break, break, breaking up
Break, break, break, follow me
Break, break, breaking up
Can, can, can you hear me?
Oh, show me your true ugly
The stranger you move, the sweeter you become
Now show me the good you've done (The good you've done)
(The good you've done)
Oh, show me your true ugly
The stranger you move, the sweeter you become
Now show me the good you've done
Show me the animal
You fucking animal
Don't feed us the animals
'Cause we're not done with you
There's no good you've done
Oh, show me your true ugly
The stranger you move, the sweeter you become
Now show me the good you've done
Show me the animal
Love Protocol lyrics - Coheed and Cambria
You locked a knife inside my heart
Buried a key inside my mind
The maps surveyed, the X you chart
Where our hands go to hide
Will our needs stay level
As the terrain starts to grade high?
Should I remain unsettled?
Watch goodnight turn to goodbye
Goodnight turn to goodbye
Hold on to me
Tell me you've got me, sweetheart
The world is going dim in my gaze
Sweet vertigo
Feel my lungs heaving, choking
Clawing down my back, panic attack
I'm alone, watch me float as I fall
The soundtrack placed over this heart
It shares no rhythm of mine
It juts and sways, it ends and starts
All in and out of our time
Oh, I can be your dancer
The one you set within your sights
When I admit surrender
Then maybe goodbye will turn to goodnight
Goodbye will turn to goodnight
Hold on to me
Tell me you've got me, sweetheart
The world is going dim in my gaze
Sweet vertigo
Feel my lungs heaving, choking
Clawing down my back, panic attack
I'm alone, watch me float as I fall
Oh no, we have been cursed
The stage set for a tragic verse
Our love protocoled romance
Our air drained of happenstance
What have we turned ourselves into?
This abstract personnel
Hold on to me
Tell me you've got me, sweetheart
The world is going dim in my gaze
Sweet vertigo
Feel my lungs heaving, choking
Clawing down my back, panic attack
I'm alone, watch me float as I fall
Oh, watch me float
Oh, watch me float
Watch me float as I fall
