Lyrics P—T

PALOMA
This is the highlight when all sense has run out
This is the last scene and all wine has run down
Paloma my love

This is your moment. Here enters a star
Remember your lines now
And I play my part
Paloma my love, Paloma you swore

You said you’d always love me somehow
You must have thought about the love of a brother
You swore there’s only one on your mind
I thought it’d be me. Guess I was wrong

This is the last act where the plot is revealed
Curtains are drawn back and nothing’s concealed
Paloma my love, Paloma you swore

You said you’d always stick around
You must’ve meant we weren’t moving
You said you’d always be by my side
I guess you’re right, but only in my mind
Paloma my love

REBELLION
Deep down, deep down rebellion
I swear I don’t know where it’s coming from
but it spreads like the rays of the morning sun
Like a deep down, deep down rebellion

Deep down, deep down rebellion
I said I don’t know where it’s coming from
but it warms like the sun at the break of dawn
Like a deep down, deep down rebellion

RISE UP PEOPLE
Silenced birds and straying herds, now rise up
Silenced birds and straying herds, now rise up

I’ve been lost, now I’m found
These streets of mine are holy ground
We rise, yeah, we rise

When it’s dark, shine a light
and be that spark that ignites the fire
Let’s rise

Rise up, people

Silenced birds and straying herds, now rise up
Silenced birds and straying herds, now rise up
Backs may break, knees may bend
But spirits rise and souls ascend
Rise, yeah, we rise

Sticks and stones may break some bones
A tyre on fire and bricks be thrown
Rise. We will rise

SCORPIO RISING
You can not move me
I’m a mountain
You can not touch me
I’m religion
You can not save me
I’m this city
You can not ease me
I am the storm about to rise up once more

You can not slow me
I’m radiation
You can not hold me
I’m transmission
You can’t control me
I’m the springtime
You can not low me
I am the tide about to rise up once more
…I will rise up once more

Scorpio rising
In the year of the horse

SHINE ON ME
I pledge guilty to the worst of crimes
I stand accused for the crime of the times
And if you angels are a crying, well burn your wings and die then

I admit it
I’m not sorry
I love her
Shine on me

So judge me a life-long sentence
Still I’d never mention repentence
Leave my devils all awaiting. Compared to us hell is freezing

Can’t deny it
I don’t worry
I love her
Shine on me

SISTER SANGRE
Sister Sangre Solace
Dark as a forest
Steady as a mountain
Deep as the ocean

Sister Sangre Solace
Hungry like a lion
Tender as a flower
Cage you like a tiger

Come Sister Sangre Flow
So dark and deep and slow
Like summers rain you fall again once more

Your brother Solitude
He’s calling out for you
He says there is nothing more to do

Sister Sangre

SNÖAR BORT
Vi snöar bort, vi snöar in
Vi kommer aldrig hitta hem
Vi kommer aldrig ut igen

STEEL MILL CITY WINTER
Grey’s the colour, grey is the colour
of this steel mill city winter
Grey as the snow where we walk

Black’s the colour, black is the colour
of the smoke coming out of the chimneys
Black as the jokes that we use

Red’s the colour, red is the colour
of the love we share late December
Red as our sheets when you’ve bled

SOUL’S ON FIRE
My soul is alight
It won’t be put out
It burns warmer and brighter than fire

STEALTH-RISE
We will be splittin’ skies now
We’ll vaporize the clouds now
Accelerate in no time
You’ll see us stealth-rise

All radar will be tracing
Our looks are fire-blazing
Detonate in every nation
You’ll see us stealth-rise

Exterminate the silence
We come with air raid violence
Speed straight into the future
You’ll see us stealth-rise
We’re about to stealth-rise

STRIGOI
Set adrift on a sea of bliss
No one told you life could be like this
Mountains high, valleys low
You travel places they won’t ever go

Let’s travel together

SWEEPING SNOW
Scraping frost off from the windowsill
In your concrete box by that old steel mill
Sweeping snow off from the windowshield
Stroking hands that bring you chills
As they touch your …skin

Stale, tension, control

Scraping frost off from your carbon soul
That concrete box within you hardly shows
And sweeping snow off it does no good
Them stroking hands are drained of blood
Stiff, numb and frozen fingertips
Violently shaking and you wish
That she wouldn’t touch your …skin

Stale, tension, control

SWIRL LIKE SNOW
I come, I come, then I go
Don’t hold me too tight
I melt away
Don’t hold me so close
I might melt away

I come, I come then I go
I swirl like snow

You come, you come, then you go
I hold you so close,
secure and safe
Try to keep you warm

You come, you come then you go
You swirl like snow

SWIRL LIKE WATER
You sound like sunshine
and I can feel it when you smile
You swirl like water
and I can sense you floating by

 

You sound like sunshine
and your lips are made of fire
You swirl like water
as you’re rising like the tide

Swirl like water, floating by

THE FROST BRIGADE
Here comes the frost brigade
with icicle limbs
Here comes the pale patrol
with blue bitten chins

Here comes the frost brigade
Here comes the cold
Here comes the pale patrol
Here comes the snow

Run, run, run
but you sure can’t hide

THE GOLDEN DAWN
Come along to the banks where bliss is born.
Come along, where child is king and gold’s just stone
Come along to the land of the rising sun
Come along, come along to the golden dawn

And we’ll find our way to the golden dawn

Come along to a place we can call our home
Come along, where night is day and dusk is dawn
Come along, let me sing you your favourite song
Come along, come along to the golden dawn

And we’ll find our way to the golden dawn
Where child is king and gold’s just stone

I’ve got a message from
the kids have left their houses, now they’re running in the streets
I’ve got a message from
I know there (?) it’s (a) beginning, now this will be the end
I’ve got a message from
Now that you see, you know it was meant to be
I’ve got a message from
They know that you are, that you will blow up like a star
And I will bathe my eyes in your shining light
I’ve got a message from the kids: You know that man is meant to play

THE LION
This is the lion in love with the lamb
You are a daughter of Ismael
and I’m just a son of Abraham
But love is greater than any man

So come on, free your love
Come on, unleash that lion called love

This is the lion in love with the lamb
I am a son of blizzards
and you are a daughter of heat and sand
But love is greater than any land

So come on, free your love
Come on, unleash that lion called love

THE STAKE-OUT
It’s such a stake-out
I’m just sitting here
Waiting for you to pass by

I’m not expected
You’ll be surprised dear
When you realize what I have found out
…what I have found out

It’s such a stake-out
I’m just waiting here
Collecting my evidence

If you should walk by
With your special friend
The more I think of it the more it makes sense
… the more it makes sense

It’s such a wasteland to be uncertain, dear.
The not knowing. And it’s all I’ve ever had.

It’s such a stake-out
I’m still waking here
Watching through frosted glass

If you should walk by
With your gentleman
It would make up for the hours passed
…the hours passed

TO BEAUTY, BLISS AND BEYOND
Let’s head for the clouds
Head for the bright skies
Straight to the sun
To beauty, bliss and beyond

TOOK OFF, NEVER LANDED
Eftersom det är Follow Him To the End Of the Desert som skrivit texten, så ska jag nog inte skriva den här. Inte så mycket pga upphovsrätten som att jag är rädd för att citera honom fel.

TWO TON DUB
Around here, around there
What they’re telling us, everything they put up in the air
Why don’t you just live your life
Why do we have to bother everyone else, y’know
Why can’t we just take it there, y’know what I’m saying?
What happened to Jah in our life, y’know?
When I see all the wickedness going on I just can’t understand y’know
Mbangini, Betty Goes A Go-Go

Chant down Babylon
Chant down Babylon

Come carry my burden
Carry the light
Come carry my burden
Come carry the torch

Chant down Babylon
Chant down Babylon

Come follow the light
It will lead you right
Follow the light
Carry the torch

They say, just follow the light, follow the light
I know that Jah will take us there
Come carry my burden. Carry the torch, oh Lord.

Well, them say the world getting warmer. Scientists all ring the alarm
Two tons of weight’s on my shoulder, just making my heart grow colder
Growth of the civilisation at the cost of the creation
While fire can heal the nation. Wanna try (?) the criminalizing

We gotta change the way we think ‘cos in ego ways we take everything
See the big picture, be your own king. So listen to me sing:

Many are those that suffer while few are those in power
Many are those that hunger while few are those who plunder

WE ARE ONE

From Mekong to the tower of Babylon

From Saigon to the gutters of London
Hava, Hava
From Tuscon to the fields of Lebanon

From Luzon to the sheds of Kingston

Atlantis on to the land of Kingdom Come
Hava, Hava

Wherever we come from – We Are One
