Blistering bass line transforms furious 11/8 feel from rock anthem to Klezmer party to Mariachi meltdown; sounds like: King Crimson, John Zorn, Mr. Bungle
lyrics
show me how to love you and i'll show you if i can.
let's see if it is possible to be your savior and your man.
tell me how to tell you in a way you'll understand
that i'd hand over the world if you'd just give me a hand.
so here's to the gladiators who fell at your side,
the poor and the perpetrators believed when you lied for whom you never cried.
though i've seen the meaning of my kingdom come
i never guessed i'd stand beside the sun.
you painted me a picture of a world that we could share
but the paint it was invisible and the canvas still looks bare.
i saw you make the mountains and the watercolor skies
but they washed onto the ground like the teardrops from your eyes.
so here's to the gladiators who fell at your side,
the suave and the suffocators for whom you never cried.
though i've seen the meaning of my kingdom come
i'm so afraid to stand beside the sun.
ahne kol teekvah
ahne kol fachad
ahne kol chalom
ahne kol demah
la-ah-kov aht l-ha-shamash
nahmas l-ha-shamash
[Translation:
All my dreams
All my tears
All my hopes
All my fears
Melting away in the sun]
I see my kingdom’s coming
and when it gets here i'll do all my best dear
to let you take the reigns.
guide us into the sun
