Soundgarden Lyrics "Black Hole Sun"
In my eyes
Indisposed
In disguise
As no one knows
Hides the face
Lies the snake
And the sun
In my disgrace
Boiling heat
Summer stench
'Neath the black
The sky looks dead
Call my name
Through the cream
And I'll hear you
Scream again
Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain? Black hole sun Won't you come? Won't you come? Won't you come?
Stuttering
Cold and damp
Steal the warm wind
Tired friend
Times are gone
For honest men
And sometimes
Far too long
For snakes
In my shoes
A walking sleep
And my youth
I pray to keep
Heaven send
Hell away
No one sings
Like you anymore
Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain? Black hole sun Won't you come? Won't you come?
Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain? Black hole sun Won't you come? Won't you come?
(Black hole sun, Black hole sun) Won't you come? (Black hole sun, Black hole sun) Won't you come? (Black hole sun, Black hole sun) Won't you come? (Black hole sun, Black hole sun)
Hang my head Drown my fear 'Til you all just disappear
Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain? Black hole sun Won't you come? Won't you come?
Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain? Black hole sun Won't you come? Won't you come?
I’m going Queensryche - from the album Operation Mindcrime 1988
Revolution Calling"
For a price I'd do about anything Except pull the trigger For that I'd need a pretty good cause Then I heard of Dr. X The man with the cure Just watch the television Yeah, you'll see there's something going on
Got no love for politicians Or that crazy scene in D.C. It's just a power mad town But the time is ripe for changes There's a growing feeling That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due
I used to trust the media To tell me the truth, tell us the truth But now I've seen the payoffs Everywhere I look Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?
Revolution calling Revolution calling Revolution calling you (There's a) Revolution calling Revolution calling Gotta make a change Gotta push, gotta push it on through
I'm tired of all this bullshit They keep selling me on T.V. About the communist plan And all the shady preachers Begging for my cash Swiss bank accounts while giving their Secretaries the slam
They're all in Penthouse now Or Playboy magazine, million dollar stories to tell I guess Warhol wasn't wrong Fame fifteen minutes long Everyone's using everybody, making the sale
I used to think That only America's way, way was right But now the holy dollar rules everybody's lives Gotta make a million doesn't matter who dies
Revolution calling Revolution calling Revolution calling you (There's a) Revolution calling Revolution calling Gotta make a change Gotta push, gotta push it on through
I used to trust the media To tell me the truth, tell us the truth But now I've seen the payoffs Everywhere I look Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?
Revolution calling Revolution calling Revolution calling you (There's a) Revolution calling Revolution calling Gotta make a change Gotta push, gotta push it on through
AND from the same album SPEAK
Speak"
They've given me a mission I don't really know the game yet I'm bent on submission Religion is to blame I'm the new messiah Death Angel with a gun Dangerous in my silence Deadly to my cause
Speak to me the pain you feel Speak the word The word is all of us
I've given my life to become what I am To preach the new beginning To make you understand To reach some point of order Utopia in mind, you've got to learn To sacrifice, to leave what's now behind
Speak to me the pain you feel Speak the word The word is all of us Speak the word The word is all of us
Seven years of power The corporation claw The rich control the government, the media the law To make some kind of difference Then everyone must know Eradicate the fascists, revolution will grow
The system we learn says we're equal under law But the streets are reality, the weak and poor will fall Let's tip the power balance and tear down their crown Educate the masses, We'll burn the White House down
Speak to me the pain you feel Speak to me the pain you feel Speak the word (Revolution) The word is all of us Speak the word (Revolution) The word is all of us Speak the word The word is all of us Speak the Word The word is all of us
SPEAK!!!
That entire album is off the charts!!
Probably my favorite concept album of all time....
Geoff Tate is an unmatched vocalist of all time, however obscured due to the genre. That dude sang higher and lower than anyone I’ve e er heard. I liked Queen of the Ryche and some of their garage stuff prior to their debut with Mindcrime. Most of the planet that knows thinks they were a one hit wonder with Silent Lucidity. Man I loved that band.!
Geoff was classically trained in opera-- another Seattle musician-- A couple of yrs back Geoff did a private event-- he can still belt it out!!
I saw them 4-5 times in concert back in Milwaukee/Chicago areas man they put on a hood show everytime. First time I saw them they were opening act for someone - can’t even remember who was the headliner cuz Queensryche was not an act to follow.
