Audioslave - 7 Nation Army Cover lyrics

A seven nation army couldn't hold
me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my
back
And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can’t forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette




And a message coming from my
eyes
Says leave it alone

Don’t want to hear about it
Every single one’s got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the
hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear,
But that’s what I'll do.

And the feeling coming from my
bones
Says find a home

I’m going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I’m gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every
pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding,
and I’m bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from
me and I will think
No more

And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home

Audioslave - The Last Remaining Light lyrics

Print Version

Roll me on your frozen fields
Break my bones to watch them heal
Drown me in your thirsty veins
Where I watch and I wait
And pray for the rain

Curl like smoke
And breathe again
Down your throat
Inside your ribs
And through your spine
And every nerve
Where I watch and I wait
And you too the herd

And if you don’t feel me now
Sun will rise
Still I’m in grief of the coming night
In the last remaining light

Seven moons and seven suns
Heaven waits for tose who run
Down your winter and underneith your waves
When you watch and you wait
And pray for the day

And if you don’t believe the sun will rise
Stand alone and greet the coming night
And in the last remaining light

And if you don’t believe the sun will rise
Stand alone and greet the coming night
And in the last remaining light
Light
Light
Light

Audioslave - Bring Em Back Alive lyrics

Print Version

I was on my way
To the center of the sun
When I lost my wings
And I fell into the crowd
And they carried me
To a hole in the ground
And they burried me
Where no one can see
And no one would be around

I
I am a virus
I
I live in silence
I

I was on my way
To a city in the clouds
When I lost my mind
And I had to settle down
Then I had a dream
Of an island in the sea
Where the lepers die
Where no one survives
Where no one can hear there cries

I
I am a virus
I
I live in silence
I

Just like heathens thinking on our feat
Believe in god
We’re one step
Two step
Three steps towards the graveyards
Hello to the memory
It seems that we forgot

I
I am a virus
I
I live in silence
I
I live in silence
Si...el...ence...

Audioslave - Man Or Animal lyrics

Print Version

You give me a heart attack
You look like the summertime
You call me an artifact
But I'll save that for another time
I could be rich or poor
I don't need anymore

Keep your love inside the kitchen
You can feed me anything
Leave the feathers on the chicken
Peel the leather from your skin
I can be young or old
Sweet or sad, hot or cold

[Chorus]
Man or animal, I don't care at all
Find the antidote underneath the dose
Man or animal, obedient-
out of control

I will love you more than money
I will breathe you in the smoke
I will drink you in my honey
Sweet and golden down my throat
When you're right, when you're wrong
Head is near, eyes are gone
You can drown my appetite
I will sip your tears at night
You can tie me to a chair
Skin and bones, I don't care
I could be rich or poor
I don't need anymore

[Chorus]
Man or animal, I don't care at all
Find the antidote underneath the dose
Man or animal, obedient-
out of control
Man or animal, I don't care at all
Find the antidote underneath the dose
Man or animal, obedient-
out of control
out of control

You give me a heart attack
I will give you more than that
You give me a heart attack
I will give you more than that

Audioslave - Doesn't Remind Me lyrics

Print Version

I walk the streets of Japan till I get lost
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
With a graveyard tan n'carrying a cross
It doesn't remind me of anything
I like studying faces in a parking lot
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like driving backwards in the fog
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything

[Chorus]
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget

I like gypsy moths and radio talk
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like gospel music and canned applause
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like colorful clothing in the sun
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like hammering nails, and speaking in tounges
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything

[Chorus]
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget

Bend and shape me
I love the way you are
Slow and sweetly
Like never before
Calm and sleeping
We won't stir up the past
So descretely
We won't look back

[Chorus]
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget

I like throwing my voice and breaking guitars
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like playing in the sand what's mine is ours
If it doesn't remind me of anything

Audioslave - Original Fire lyrics

Print Version

The original fire has died and gone, but the riot inside moves on.
The original fire has died and gone, but the riot inside moves on.
The original fire has died and gone, but the riot inside moves on.
The original fire has died and gone, but the riot inside moves on.

With a pen in one hand taking a stand drugged on kerosene.
Eighty-four and five would find us something to believe.
Right or wrong, with dirty hands on wires,
singing songs in dischord choirs.
Screaming in braile, no temptress prize,
could ever yield anything so real.

The original fire has died and gone, but the riot inside moves on.
The original fire has died and gone, but the riot inside moves on.

Golden soldiers born much older than they'll ever live to be.
Diving into a sea of hands in a long forgotten city.
Here the rain falls ever after,
the strangled vines hang dead in rafters.
The blood rushed to your head induces a laughter, endlessly.

The original fire has died and gone, but the riot inside moves on.
The original fire has died and long gone, but the riot inside moves on.

Can't explain it, it was something to see.
Can't contain something ever real.
Ever real.
Hey.

Can't explain it, it was something to see.
Can't contain something so, ever real.
Ever real.

The original fire has died and gone, but the riot inside moves on.
The original fire has died and gone, but the riot inside moves on.
The original fire has died and gone, but the riot inside moves on.
The original fire has died and gone, but the riot inside moves on.

Audioslave - Light My Way lyrics

Print Version

In my hour of need
On the sea of grey
On my knees
I prey to you
Help me find the bones of the dying dead

Will you light my way
Won’t you light my way
Won’t you light my way
Won’t you light my way

The bullet is a man
From time to time he strays
I compare my life to theres
To this I remain
And unwilling to listen to your answers
And I’m not ashamed to tell you I need you today

Won’t you light my way
Won’t you light my way
Won’t you light my way
Won’t you light my way

And so when I’m lost
And I’m tired and depressed
And when my mind goes astray
Won’t you light my way
Don’t save it for another day
Don’t save it for another day
Hey! don’t save it for another day
Hey! don’t save it for another day
Hey! don’t save it for another day

Won’t you light my way
Won’t you light my way
Won’t you light my way
Won’t you light my way

Audioslave - Revelations lyrics

Print Version

You know what to do, you know what I did.
Since you know everything just clue me in.
I am such a wreck, I am such a mess.
I know what I know, why don't you fill in the rest?
I will bring you down I will make it bad.
While you're feeling proud, why don't you help me?

Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now,
your revelations cut me in.
I don't want to live without your revelations.
Revelations.

You know what to say, you know what I said.
You know what I dream sleeping in my bed.
You hold all the keys, you know all the roads.
Why don't you guide me in if I'm such a lost soul?
I will spin it around, I will make you ill.
Since I'm so broken down, why don't you fix me?

Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now,
your revelations cut me in.
I don't want to live without your revelations.
Revelations.

I am haunted whem I am sleeping.
Try to give without receiving.
It's in the applebite,
it's in the days and nights.
In the afterlife we'll meet.

Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now,
your revelations cut me in.
I don't want to live without your revelations.

Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now,
your revelations cut me in.
I don't want to live without your revelations.
Revelations.

Audioslave - Set It Off lyrics

Print Version

He was standing at the rock
Gathering the fog
Getting there with no directions
And underneath the arch
Turned into a march
And there he found a spot to set this fucker on

Set if off
Set it on my children
Set it right
Set it off
Set it off my children
Allright
Set it off
Set it on my children
Set it fire
Set it off
Set it on my children

Suddenly a shot
Ripped into his heart
He needed some attention
And there he played his card
Going into shock
The last thing that he said was set this fucker on

Set if off
Set it on my children
Set it right
Set it off
Set it off my children
Allright
Set it off
Set it on my children
Set it fire
Set it off
Set it on my children

Alright [6x]

Jesus at the back door
Everything is alright
All we need is some direction
Everytime the wind blows
Everything you don’t know
Turns into a revelation
It all ends up inside your head
Time is wasted

Set if off
Set it on my children
Set it right
Set it off
Set it off my children
Allright
Set it off
Set it on my children
Set it fire
Set it off
Set it on my children

Alright [6x]

Audioslave - Your Time Has Come lyrics

Print Version

Now one fell asleep in the street
and he never woke up
And now one died in pieces
in his bed with his head full of gold
And one threatened me long ago when i saw him
melt in the bright light of day
And one laid to rest in a field under starlings and crows

I've been wandering sideways
I've stared straight into the sun
Still, I don't know why you're dying
Long before your time has come
Your time has come

Now one took some bullets to the chest in a deal gone wrong
One got a little too depressed so he went and jumped the gun
One got shot right in the face and he somehow survived
But he doesn't know my name or who I am
and I'm not surprised, hey

I've been wandering sideways
I've stared straight into the sun
Still, i don't know why you're dying
Long before your time has come

Yeah I've been wandering sideways
I've stared straight into the sun
Still I don't know why you're dying
Long before your time has come
Your time has come, hey

(Solo)

I've seen 50,000 names all engraved on in stone
Most of them, met an early grave years before i was born
All of them left brothers and sisters and mothers behind
And most of their family and friends are still alive, doing time

I've been wandering sideways
I've stared straight into the sun
And i don't know why you're dying
Long before your time has come

Yeah I've been wandering sideways
I've stared straight into the sun
And I don't know why you're dying
Long before your time has come (x3)
Your time has come

Audioslave - Dandelion lyrics

Print Version

Settle down now and sit with me
Let me tell you how this all came to be
A yellow flower with your petals to the air
And flying on paper wings that brought you here
Summer rolls on in the lazy hours
An ether dream way
Of hummingbirds and clouds
Midnight swims in the cool back waves
And you in my arms as it rolls away

[Chorus]
Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
Oh oh
All of your tomorrows shine
Oh oh
All of your tomorrows shine

Born of restless night the moon as a pearl
Playing games down inside your soft warm world
Hear my voice I know that you can
You're the fire in my eyes
The sun as a man
Seasons come along and seasons go
And what they'll leave behind
I don't pretend to know
I'm afraid that all I have missed
Will loom very large when the darkness lifts

[Chorus]
Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine

I will ride by your side
Wherever you go
I won't run I won't hide
Just letting you know

[Chorus]
Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine

Audioslave - Exploder lyrics

Print Version

Met a man locked away
For things he hadn’t done
Innocense on a ball and chain
Never feel the sun
A grin on his face
Roses in his hands
But when he smiled at me
I could understand

If you’re free you’ll never see the walls
If you’re head is clear you’ll never freefall
If you’re out right you never fear the wrong
If you’re head is high you never fear at all

There was a daughter of a man
Took his life too young
She swore she’d never do those things
Then did just what he’d done
And a boy whose gone insane
Voices in his head
No one knows what they say
Now his mothers dead

If you’re free you’ll never see the walls
If you’re head is clear you’ll never freefall
If you’re right you never fear the wrong
If you’re head is high you never fear at all

Cuttin me down
Cuttin me down

There was a man who had a face
It looked alot like me
I saw him in the mirror and I fought him in the street
Then when he turned away I shot him in the head
Then I came to realize I had killed myself

If you’re free you’ll never see the walls
If you’re head is clear you’ll never freefall
If you’re right you never fear the wrong
If you’re head is high you never fear

Cuttin me down and
Cuttin me down

Audioslave - Gasoline lyrics

Print Version

Houses haunted
I just want to go for a ride
Out an on
Thought I’d set this room a light
Left alone
Forever and for crimes unclear
With my patience gone
Someone take me far from here

Burn that gasoline
Yea
Burn that gasoline

New day only
Another day in solitude
Houses honest
Clearly more than I can bare
Drain me all
Before I set my world on fire
I am gone
The sun will never set tonight

Burn that gasoline
Yea
Burn that gasoline

No more forests
Only a can on red
Says danger on it
I have found another way

Burn that gasoline
Yea
Burn that gasoline
Burn it all the way
Burn it all the way

The first time I saw you you were
Chasin down
A cyclone
All alone in the field
With railyards and clovers I kept rollin on
Never thought you’d wind up chasin
Me

I settle down
I won’t hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you leave me to waste no
I’ll settle up and I’ll help you find something to drive
Before you drown yourself

Your tired of walkin
And you loathe the ground
The sideway belly touched your feet
Black moons to slowly to hold you down
With ring hand you take it out on me

Settle down
I won’t hesitate to hit the highway
Before you leave me to waste
Saddle up and I’ll help you find something to drive
Before you drive me insane

So get yourself a car
Drive it all alone
Get ourself a car
And ride it on the wind
Get yourself a car
And drive it all alone
Get yourself a car
And ride it on the wind yea

Yea we’ll settle down

Before you leave me to waste
Settle up and I’ll help you find something to drive
Before you drive me insane

And drive it all alone
Get yourself a car
And ride it on the wind
Get yourself a car
And drive it all alone
Get yourself a car

Audioslave - What You Are lyrics

And when you wanted me
I came to you
And when you wanted someone else
I withdrew
And when you asked for light
I set myself on fire
And if I go away I know
You'll find another slave

Cause now I'm free from what you want
Now I'm free from what you need
Now I'm free from what you are

And when you wanted blood
I cut my veins
And when you wanted love
I bled myself again
Now that I've had my fill of you
I'll give you up forever
And here I go far away
I know you'll find another slave

Cause now I'm free from what you want
Now I'm free from what you need
Now I'm free from what you are

Then the vision came to me
When you came along
I gave you everything
But then you wanted more

Audioslave - Be Yourself lyrics

Print Version

Someone falls to pieces
Sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
She finally drifts away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
And catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave

Yeahhh...

And to be yourself is all that you can do
Heyyyy...
To be yourself is all that you can do

Someone finds salvation in everyone
Another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united
Healthy or insane

And to be yourself is all that you can do
Yeahhh...
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
Heyyyy...
Be yourself is all that you can do

Even when you've paid enough
Been put upon or been held up
Every single memory of the good or bad
Faces of LUCK
Don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose
¨
But to be yourself is all that you can do
Yeahhh...
To be yourself is all that you can do

Ohhhh...
To be yourself is all that you can do, heeey...
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can--
Be yourself is all that you can--
Be yourself is all that you can do

Pearls that swim the rift of me
Long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities
Alone in the hills
No sorrow I feel
For anything I feel yea

I am not your rolling wheels
I am a highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky

Friends and liars
Don’t wait for me
Cause I’ll get on
All by myself
Put millions of miles
Under my heels
And still too close to you
I feel

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
I am not your blowing wind
I am the sky here
I am not your automn moon
I am the night
The night

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet rag
I am the sky
I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightining
I am not your automon
I am the night
