Taking off her face Don't think we have met Sounds different than the beat Your heart used to make Let's recollect all our thoughts We've never been so apart Maybe I could change Poison takes in vain At day, it feels a lot like love (Portrait) I know at night, it feels a lot like blood (Portrait smiles in vain) Panic, darling, panic (Portrait) Dancing with the mistress in the blue dress (Portrait smiles in vain, portrait smiles) Stand in line, turn and draw Stand in line, turn and draw Stand in line, turn and draw Stand in line, turn and draw Stand in line, turn and draw Stand in line, turn and draw Stand in line, turn and draw Stand in line, turn and draw Stand in line, turn and draw She smiles in French but her arms are crossed (Stand in line, turn and draw.) She's changed her name to a heart that speaks (Stand in line, turn and draw.) But it does not beat (Stand in line, turn and draw.) All the flashes are blinding (Stand in line, turn and draw.) What started out as a hope for a different world (Stand in line, turn and draw.) Is now the sand that you're sinking in (Stand in line, turn and draw.) Once everyone has taken pieces of your design (Stand in line, turn and draw.) It's hard to recognize Rejoice It's a lions den It's a lions den It's a lions den It's all a lie I used to live the casual life like you Now my screen is crystal clear With a life like view here I've never been more ashamed I wish that I could see sunlight too I should've covered up my eyes When that wish came true Innocent and golden But its locked in a display They're saving up to take me home And write down what I say If I could change the way I spoke Then I would speak away the darkness of the past And guide myself away from all the cameras in my path In my pa- In my-

Go! Sing it Singing a different song Make it Guess who will play along I can't help looking at me C'est La Vie My hands are free as can be C'est La Vie Wanted: Passion Wasted and hopeless Makeshift glory Praises, fortress, blame me How can I speak on the other side? How can I speak on the other side? We cannot be inside this war until we bleed and make it Louder. Louder. Louder. Louder Louder. Louder. Louder. Louder Oh, with various degrees Of love and of hate With a gun strapped to your side I believe you have your faith I move onward With a trumpet and a voice And a ghost inside my head And the past is noise

Victim, my friend, get out! Dancing and shaking And most of all, electric Lights on: Lights off Everybody hit the ground She was beautiful like cancer (cancer) She was beautiful She helped you into the ground (Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Oh!) A heart-shaped enemy Never underestimate Samson was impressed as well I helped you carry all the dead folks That we knew You fell in love, you fell asleep Straight into the ground she marches on One by one And straight into the ground she marches on One by one I open up the earth And let myself in I bleed into the dirt All in all, my friend I am giving in Wake up! I open up the earth And let myself fall in I bleed into the dirt All in all, my friend I'm giving in She marches on one by one She's the wind, the setting sun Death in death Love lost Straight into the ground she's marching They've lost their voice in the choir They've lost their voice in the choir They've lost their voice in the choir They've lost their voice in the choir They lost their voice in the choir

We can't let this be us My heart is in the sand Let love close your eyes Let love open your hands You can't live on the streets And change not your desire Let love take you under Let love take you under I'm in love with a bottle of grace Who am I to think you ain't I'd be lying to you if I said My heart was up for all to see 'Cause see, I'm not talking about making lovers Out of golden picturesque sunsets I want to be the one who can bring It to the streets and to the fixed and the victim-esque We're all capable of love We're all capable of cancer Shake it off, work it out, bury it All you need is love Shake it off, work it out, bury it Love is all you need Shake it off, work it out, bury it (Let love take you under!) We'll shake it off, work it out, bury it (Let love take you under!) I'm in love with a bottle of grace Who am I to think you ain't I'd be lying to you if I said My heart's not for all to see This is the only dance you'll ever regret So keep the car running This is the only dance you'll ever regret So keep the car running (Keep the car running) Let's show them things they'll never forget So keep the car running (Keep the car running) This is the only dance you'll ever regret Keep the car running

Maybe everything's alright Maybe all the chairs are always spoken for We got workers in the back And the light is on their eyes But the sadness in your face Is beside you with a grin And you've mistaken all the homes And inspirations for the cage How was I supposed to know That we were never meant for this? You're the reason we already know And I believe you can call this weekend "Mission: Success" But there's a scratch across the lens We cataloged all our fears that you treasured And you hoped was here to stay This is the cut of the director And we got scenes out of our way When there's a scratch across the lens All is lost Hey, wait... Hey, wait... We hold our breath as we pass everyone sleeping We hold our breath as we pass everyone sleeping We hold our breath as we pass everyone sleeping We hold our breath as we pass everyone sleeping We hold our breath We hold our breath We hold our breath

Embrace, reaction, reaction, we ain't God But here he comes Destiny's real, and she comes with a smile Passing by your grave, pass (Plague, plague) Reach the plague (Plague, plague) Reach the plague (Plague, plague) Reach the plague (Plague, plague) Reach the plague Black plague Black plague Black plague Black plague In this city that never sleeps, and wakes up swinging Reach (the plague) We (will paint) We (will paint) Red (stay calm) And we'll paint the rivers red, it's fate Shake hands (shake hands) And (with fate) Shake (and with fate) Hands (shake hands) Because they sing the same songs, and they just keep singing Shake hands (shake hands) And (with fate) Shake (and with fate) Hands (shake hands) And up above, every storm is the day Shake hands (shake hands) And (with fate) Shake (and with fate) Hands (shake hands) How happy is every child of grace, who feels his sins forgiven This world, he cries, is not my place I seek a place in heaven A country far from mortal sight, yet oh, by faith I see! The land of rest, the saint's delight, a heaven prepared for me Oh, what a blessed hope is ours while here on earth we stay We more than taste the heavenly powers and antedate that day We feel the resurrection near Our life in Christ concealed and with his glorious presence here our earthen vessels filled

I found the answer... open your hands Found the answer... open your hands Open your hands Open your hands Open Reach out, distance enough, fair maiden in hand All in all, we ain't... But, we press on! I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an Emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible: Jew, Gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there’s room for everyone and the good earth is rich, we can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way Greed has poisoned men's souls has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness hard and unkind. We think too much, and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities life will be violent, and all will be lost The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men, cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all. Even now, my voice is reaching millions throughout the world: millions of despairing men, women, and little children; victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say "Do not despair." The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress The hate of men will pass and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish Soldiers, don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think, or what to feel, who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts. You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don't hate. Only the unloved hate, the unloved and the unnatural. Soldiers, don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty! In the seventeenth chapter of Saint Luke it is written “The kingdom of God is within man.” Not one man, nor a group of men, but in all men. In you, you the people have the power! The power to create machines, the power to create happiness. You the people have the power to make life free and beautiful to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then, in the name of democracy, let us use that power. Let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work that will give youth a future and old age a security By the promise of these things brutes have risen to power, but they lie, they do not fulfill their promise. They never will. Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people. Now let us fight to fulfill that promise. Let us fight to free the world. To do away with national barriers, to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness Soldiers! In the name of democracy, let us all unite! Don't set the sun Or let hearts grow dim Return back to the hill That you left With the city in your hands And if nothing's left The forest marches on Forget not who you are (Children of the sun) My point is Salt is on the ground The cast are on their way The audience is set Now that we've painted faith Shout, "Victory is yours!"
