    Molly Hatchet......Fall Of The Peacemakers

    image


    A king without a sword
    A land without a king
    A truth without a voice
    One song left to sing
    One song to sing

    A wise man told me there's something you should know
    The way you judge a man is to look into his soul
    And you'll soon see everything.

    A voice from the past cried "Give peace a chance"
    He paid our price now he's free at last
    Imagine, we called him a dreamer!
    How many times must good men die?
    How many tears will the children cry?
    'Til they suffer no more sadness
    Stop the madness,
    Oh, stop the madness.

    If ashes are ashes and dust is dust
    At our journey's end then return we must
    To the sands of the shore
    White doves in flight
    Peace to all
    But tell me why the peacemakers fall
    Must we bury anymore?

    The hush of the crowd as the horse rode by
    A black lace veil hid the tears from her eyes
    And we all wept in silence
    How many times must good men die?
    How many times will the children cry?
    'Til they suffer no more sadness
    Oh, stop the madness
    Oh, stop all the madness.

    And this is what I'll say if I had any words
    Wish we hadn't messed up, now your heart is with hers
    And I know that your love wasn't here to stay
    I gave you all of mine but you gave it away
    And now you're the one who hurts
    You had to love someone else just to know your worth

    But here's to us, here's to us, here's to us

    Dearly beloved
    We are gathered here today
    To get through this thing called life

    Electric word life
    It means forever and that's a mighty long time
    But I'm here To tell you
    There's something else
    The afterworld

    A world of never ending happiness
    You can always see the sun, day or night

    "Fix You"

    When you try your best, but you don't succeed
    When you get what you want, but not what you need
    When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
    Stuck in reverse
    And the tears come streaming down your face
    When you lose something you can't replace
    When you love someone, but it goes to waste
    Could it be worse?

    Lights will guide you home
    And ignite your bones
    And I will try to fix you

    And high up above or down below
    When you're too in love to let it go
    But if you never try you'll never know
    Just what you're worth

    Lights will guide you home
    And ignite your bones
    And I will try to fix you

    Tears stream down your face
    When you lose something you cannot replace
    Tears stream down your face and I
    Tears stream down your face
    I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
    Tears stream down your face and I

    Lights will guide you home
    And ignite your bones
    And I will try to fix you
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

    While we're thinking of U2, how about this one? :)

    Hawkmoon 269

    Like a desert needs rain
    Like a town needs a name
    I need your love.

    Like a drifter needs a room
    Hawkmoon
    I need your love.
    I need your love.

    Like a rhythm unbroken
    Like drums in the night
    Like sweet soul music
    Like sunlight
    I need your love.

    Like coming home
    And you don't know where you've been
    Like black coffee
    Like nicotine
    I need your love,
    I need your love.

    When the night has no end
    And the day yet to begin
    As the room spins around
    I need your love
    I need your love.

    Like a Phoenix rising needs a holy tree
    Like the sweet revenge
    Of a bitter enemy
    I need your love.

    Like heat needs the sun
    Like honey on her tongue
    Like the muzzle of a gun
    Like oxygen
    I need your love,
    I need your love.

    When the night has no end
    And the day yet to begin
    As the room spins around
    I need your love
    I need your love.

    Like thunder needs rain
    Like a preacher needs pain
    Like tongues of flame
    Like a sweet stain
    Need your love
    I need your love.

    Like a needle needs a vein
    Like someone to blame
    Like a thought unchained
    Like a runaway train
    Need your love,
    I need your love.
    Need your love
    I need your love.

    Like faith needs a doubt
    Like a freeway out
    Need your love.

    Like powder needs a spark
    Like lies need the dark
    I need your love

    We fracked the earth and the waters rose
    I will never stop moving
    We bruised the land , we sold our souls
    I will never stop moving

    this is corny but i think its sweet
    my daughter used to sing it

    Baby, I know you're hurting
    Right now you feel like you could never
    Love again
    Now all I ask is for a chance
    To prove that I love you

    From the first day
    That I saw your smiling face
    Honey, I knew that we would
    Be together forever
    Ooh when I asked you out
    You said no but I found out
    Darling that you'd been hurt
    You felt like you'd never love again
    I deserve a try honey just once
    Give me a chance and I'll prove this all wrong
    You walked in, you were so quick to judge
    But honey he' s nothing like me

    [Chorus:]
    I'll never break your heart
    I'll never make you cry
    I'd rather die than live without you
    I'll give you all of me
    Honey, that's no lie
    [2x]

    As time goes by
    You will get to know me
    A little more better
    Girl that's the way love goes baby, baby
    And I (I) know you're afraid (know you're afraid)
    To let your feelings show (feelings show)
    And I understand
    Girl, it's time to let go (girl, it's time to let go because)
    I deserve a try (try) honey
    Just once (once)
    Give me a chance (chance) and I'll prove this all wrong (wrong you walked)
    You walked in, you were so quick to judge (quick to judge)
    But honey he's nothing like me
    Darling why can't you see

    [Chorus (2x)]

    [Bridge:]
    No way, no how (I'll never break your heart girl, I'll never make you cry)
    I swear (Oh I, oh I, I swear)
    No way, no how (I'll never break your heart girl, I'll never make you cry)

    [Chorus (3x)]

    A change of speed, a change of style.
    A change of scene, with no regrets,
    A chance to watch, admire the distance,
    Still occupied, though you forget.
    Different colours, different shades,
    Over each mistakes were made.
    I took the blame.
    Directionless so plain to see,
    A loaded gun won't set you free.
    So you say.
    We'll share a drink and step outside,
    An angry voice and one who cried,
    'We'll give you everything and more,
    The strain's too much, can't take much more.'
    I've walked on water, run through fire,
    Can't seem to feel it anymore.
    It was me, waiting for me,
    Hoping for something more,
    Me, seeing me this time,
    Hoping for something else.

    3, 5, 0, 1, 2, 5, Go!

    I was there in the back stage,
    When first light came around.
    I grew up like a changeling,
    To win the first time around.
    I can see all the weakness.
    I can pick all the faults.
    Well I concede all the faith tests,
    Just to stick in your throats.

    31G, 31G, 31G

    I hung around in your soundtrack,
    To mirror all that you've done,
    To find the right side of reason,
    To kill the three lies for one,
    I can see all the cold facts.
    I can see through your eyes.
    All this talk made no contact.
    No matter how hard we tried.

    31G, 31G, 31G

    I can still hear the footsteps.
    I can see only walls.
    I slid into your man-traps,
    With no hearing at all.
    I just see contradiction,
    Had to give up the fight,
    Just to live in the past tense,
    To make believe you were right.

    31G, 31G, 31G

    3, 5, 0, 1, 2, 5

    However much I push it down
    It's never enough
    However much I push it around
    It's never enough
    However much I make it out
    It's never enough
    It s Never enough
    However much I do

    However big I ever feel
    It's never enough
    Whatever I do to make it real
    It's never enough
    In any way I try to speak
    It's never enough
    Never enough
    However much I try to speak
    It's never enough

    However much I'm falling down
    It's never enough
    However much I'm falling out
    It's never enough
    Whatever smile I smile the most
    It's never enough
    Never enough
    However I smile
    I smile the most

    So let me hold it up
    Just one more go
    Holding it up for just once more
    One more time to fill it up
    One more time to kill
    But whatever I do
    It's never enough
    It's never enough

    It's never enough

    Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
    I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind
    Whatever happened to our love?
    I wish I understood
    It used to be so nice, it used to be so good

    So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
    S. O. S
    The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
    S. O. S

    When you're gone
    How can I even try to go on?
    When you're gone
    Though I try how can I carry on?

    You seem so far away though you are standing near
    You made me feel alive, but something died I fear
    I really tried to make it out
    I wish I understood
    What happened to our love, it used to be so good

    So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
    S. O. S
    The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
    S. O. S

    When you're gone
    How can I even try to go on?
    When you're gone
    Though I try how can I carry on?

    Because it was Father's day recently, and in the memory of Uzeir Srna...

    The First Time I Ever Saw You
    You Had That Far Away Look In Your Eyes
    And Heaven's Eyes Shined Down Upon You
    And The Whole Room Filled Up With Life

    Now The Cruel World It's Gonna Try And Change You
    Try To Hang You Up And Mess With Your Pride
    Now The Rich Just Try To Chain You
    You Got To Keep Your Fire Burning Inside

    Promise Me
    You Won't Let Them Put Out Your Fire, Put Out Your FIre

    Now, Sometimes The World Tries To Slap You
    And It Seems To Love Watching You Fall
    I Won't Lie To You, It's Gonna Happen
    You Got To Pick Yourself Up And Move On

    Promise Me
    You Won't Let Them Put Out Your Fire, Put Out Your FIre

    Which Star Will I Be Thinking Of Tonight, Tonight

    Promise Me
    You Won't Let Them Put Out Your Fire, Put Out Your FIre

    Promise Me
    (Why Don't You)

    Oh I hope that you somebody,
    someone I could count
    To pull me to my feet again
    when I was in doubt
    Oh now Mama, do you hear me?
    I'm calling out your name
    Oh now Mama, do you hear me?
    I'm calling out your name,
    I'm calling out your name

    I'm the last cowboy in this town
    Empty veins and my plastic broken crown
    They said I swam the sea that ran around
    They said I once was lost but now I'm truly found
    And I know the place another way,
    I feel, I feel no shame
    Oh now Mama, do you hear my fear?
    It's coming after me
    I'm calling out your name,
    I'm calling out your name

    Stay with me, stay with me

    Did you throw your heart away?
    Oh I know just what I say
    Did your phone cut in the way?
    Being still downtown I say
    And I know you ran away,
    oh I know but I'm feeling okay
    And I found love and fear won't go,
    and I found love and feeling won't go
    See you walk away, feeling okay now,
    happy now, happy now?

    Stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me

    How does it feel
    To treat me like you do
    When you've laid laid your hands upon me
    And told me who you are

    I thought I was mistaken
    I thought I heard your words
    Tell me how do I feel
    Tell me now how do I feel

    Those who came before me
    Lived through their vocations
    From the past until completion
    They will turn away no more

    And I still find it so hard
    To say what I need to say
    But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
    Just how I should feel today

    I see a ship in the harbor
    I can and shall obey
    But if it wasn't for your misfortunes
    I'd be a heavenly person today

    And I thought I was mistaken
    And I thought I heard you speak
    Tell me how do I feel
    Tell me now how should I feel

    Now I stand here waiting

    I thought I told you to leave me
    While I walked down to the beach
    Tell me how does it feel
    When your heart grows cold

    Who knows what tomorrow will bring
    Maybe sunshine, and maybe rain
    But as for me I'll wait and see
    And maybe it'll bring my love to me
    Who knows
    Who knows
    Who knows it better than I
    That it's she who's keeping me alive
    Keeping the little girl as my goal
    Makes my life worth living you know
    Another day
    Another day
    Just another day
    I wanna live
    To share the love that only she can give
    And if she don't come on home
    I pray the lord will help me carry on
    Another day
    Another day
    Just another day

    Welcome to the show the great finale's finally here
    I thank you for coming into my theatre of fear
    Welcome to the show, you're all witnesses you see
    A privileged invitation to the last rights of me

    [Jonathon to his mother]
    Remember me? You can't save me
    Mama you never needed me
    No crimson king, look in my eye, you'll see
    Mama I'm lonely, it's only me, only me

    [Jonathon to all]
    I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
    The crimson idol of a million
    I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
    The crimson idol of a million eyes, of a million

    [Jonathon to all]
    I am the prisoner of the paradise I dreamed
    The idol of a million lonely faces look at me
    Behind the mask of sorrow, four doors of doom behind my eyes
    I've got their footprints all across my crimson mind

    [Jonathon to the king of mercy]
    Long live, long live, long live the king of mercy
    Long live, long live

    [Jonathon to all]
    There is no love, to shelter me
    Only love, love set me free
    No love, to shelter me, only love, love set me free
    I was the warrior, with an anthem in my soul
    The idol of eight thousand lonely days of rage ago
    And remember me when it comes your time to choose
    Be careful what you wish for, it might just come true

    [Jonathon to the king of mercy]
    [Jonathon to all]
    [Jonathon to his father]
    Red, crimson red, am I the invisible boy
    The strap on my back
    Red, crimson red, no I was never to be
    Only one crimson son, no it never was me

    [Jonathon to all]
    Living in the limelight little did I know
    I was dying in the shadows and the mirror was my soul
    It was all I ever wanted, everything I dreamed
    But the dream became my nightmare and no-one could hear me scream
    With these six-strings, I make a noose
    To take my life, it's time to choose
    The headlines read of my suicide, of my suicide

    [Jonathon to the king of mercy]
    Oh sweet silence, where is the sting
    I am no idol, no crimson king
    I'm the imposter, the world has seen
    My father was the idol, it was never me
    I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
    The crimson idol of a million
    I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
    The crimson idol of a million eyes

    [Jonathon to all]
    No love, to shelter me, only love
    Love set me free
    No love, to shelter me, only love
    Love set me free
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
