Three - The End Is Begun lyrics



Tracks



01. The Word Is Born Of Flame

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
No hesitation
No vibration
No information
Could there be found
Can't make no sound
As the earth is torn away...

Now it's too dark out
To see the sky
You put the spark out
Behind my eyes
The child dies
The word is
Born of flame

02. The End Is Begun

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
Watch what you say
Words can be heard from your grave
Pluck from a fist full of straws
You cannot resist your tragic flaws

Then you said what you said
You might be better off dead
Than be fed into the furnace
Of the monster
Shall I die, shall I cry
Shall I be shot through the sky
As I fly into the furnace
Of the monster?

Goodbye number one
You know what must be done
Set sail through the sun
The end has begun

Lay down the law
Take to the air
See how they crawl
Sparking a trail
Angels may fall
The single mistake
Kills us all

Now you say what you say
And then we blow them away
Everyday
You know I like to keep it simple
Shall I die, shall I cry
Shall I be shot through the sky
As I fly into the furnace
Of the monster?

Goodbye number one
You know what must be done
Set sail through the sun
The end has begun

Shall I die, shall I cry
Shall I be shot through the sky
As I fly into the furnace
Of the monster?

Goodbye number one
You know what must be done
Set sail through the sun
The end has begun

03. Battle Cry

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
Into darkness our descending
Searching for a time never ending
Still I promise to continue
Trying to see the good left within you

There's a battle cry on the battlefield
Now that you and I have our hearts revealed
How many times must the blood thieves
Drink us dry?

Back and forth the titans turn their
World to ashes, lightning crashes
Searchers through a grand illusion
Numbers falling, mass confusion
One by one by one

In a violence of pretending
It's hard to know which side you're defending
Still I know you must continue
Trying to win a war waged within you

There's a battle cry on the battlefield
Now that you and I have our hearts revealed
How many times must the blood thieves
Drink us dry?

Back and forth the titans turn their
World to ashes, lightning crashes once upon a
Midnight's turning
Nightmares march on, dreams still burning
One by one by one

There's a battle cry on the battlefield
Now that you and I have our hearts revealed
How many times must the blood thieves
Drink us dry?

04. All That Remains

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
Just below the surface
Of an ordinary town
Burn the devils underground
Murder fills the skies above
My eyes upon the earth
Why didn't I realize?
See for the first time
In your life defending...

All that remains
Drowning in flames
The same old story
But the names have all been changed
The fatal mistake you made
Was of all the hearts you'd slain
How you left alive my bloody valentine

Gravity unshackles you
And now you float away
Looking back upon your grave
You can't outrun your shadow
You can only shut the lights
Pluck out your wicked eyes
See for the first time
In your life defending...

All that remains
Drowning in flames
The same old story
But the names have all been changed
The fatal mistake you made
Was of all the hearts you'd slain
How you left alive my bloody valentine

Aiming at the enemy
I only smash the mirror
Pluck out your wicked eyes
See for the first time in your life defending

All that remains
Drowning in flames
The same old story
But the names have all been changed
The fatal mistake you made
Was of all the hearts you'd slain
How you kept alive my bloody valentine

05. My Divided Falling

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
A tear escapes the eye of God
It's bigger than the world
Than all our bombs and guns
They seek the rabbit who runs
It's not a pattern you'd recognize
Too busy wearing the same disguise
You can't abandon their pretty lies
The time has come to...

Wake the dawn
Out of any open door
Shut upon your brother
You hear the sound
I'm returning from my own
Divided falling now

Well have you no words?
Your silence is deafening
Now that you've heard

You - I don't know who you are
You're like the light of a star
You're from a place so far away
I never know what you're gonna do
Will you be dead by your own design
Or will you learn how to stop in time?
I never wanted to change your mind
The time has come to...

Wake the dawn
Out of any open door
Shut upon your brother
You hear the sound
I'm returning from my own
Divided falling now

Now what have you done?
You see the mirror looks different now
What have you become?

Another tear in the rain
Remembers your name
A signal out of range

Bloody valentine, take me back in time
Last dance in a dark descending
See, cause I know what you better do right now
Last chance and the world is ending
Can you stop in time, bloody valentine?

06. Serpents In Disguise

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard, Billy Riker
Have you come to die
Or have you come to learn?
The deeper do we dive
The longer to return
Said we won't survive
So now we have to burn
Crashing through the sky
I'll be coming home

And there's a look upon your face
As if there's something out of place
You disappear without a trace
Now you're going home
And I've seen the ghost that never dies
Stoking the fire behind your eyes
I read the words between the lies
I've seen the serpents in disguise

This moment speeding by
Is never to return
Running out of time
For lessons to be learned
Said we won't survive
So now we have to burn
Crashing through the sky
I'll be coming home

And there's a look upon your face
As if there's something out of place
You disappear without a trace
Now you're going home
And I've seen the ghost that never dies
Stoking the fire behind your eyes
I read the words between the lies
I've seen the serpents in disguise

Teardrops in the rain
They all look the same
Dancing down the drain
A signal out of range

And I've seen the ghost that never dies
Stoking the fire behind your eyes
I read the words between the lies
I've seen the serpents in disguise

And when I get those angels calling
Where did you go? I need to know
What is in my mind
This side of the waking world
Straight to the back of the line
By their design this happens every time

I lose my mind
'Cause you're so bright I go blind
Send us a sign, mercy for my kind
This side of the waking world
Will I be ready to find
When I hear those angels calling?
Where did you go? I need to know
What is in my mind
This side of the waking world

07. Been To The Future

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
She
Lives by the virtue of daytime TV
Alone in a suburb
And he
Fills up a bottle
And drinks from the sea
He'll always be thirsty
And they
Shiny examples of human decay
Come here, let me show you
How I woke up this morning
Still mourning a dream

I've been to the future
I've been to the future

I hear
Somewhere the circus
Is said to be near
Another distraction
And I fear
Will you be next to me
This time next year
Or will you be over?
But wait
Just as you leap
From the nest for the wind
Well I never told you
When you woke up this morning
You spoke of a dream

You'd been to the future
I've been to the future
Been to the future
Been to the future

Repeat after me
She's all I have
Is this what it means to be free?
Repeat after me
She's all I have
Tell me why
She's all I have
Please tell me why
She's all I ever had

Today
All the illusions are fading
Away
I've drawn my conclusion

Been to the future
I been to the future
Been to the future
Been to the future
Been to the future
We've been to the future
Been to the future

We've been to the future

08. Bleeding Me Home

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
Faster and faster
The speed of our cancer
Bleeding me home
Chills through the bone
Fall to Earth my sacred sparrow
In your wing a medicated arrow, no?
Now there's nowhere to go
Bleeding me home
'Til the chains have come undone

From our soul
Maybe never was
Oh yeah

The monster in the mirror
Tucks his fangs behind your smile
Please turn him back
Before you're under your own attack
You are so convincing

Now you're believing your own lies
And though you're back to stay
Still I can see you're miles away
Bleeding me home
'Til the chains have come undone

From our soul
Maybe it never was
Oh yeah
Haunted by the sun
Maybe never was

Spotlight gone cold
Set fire to all those tickets sold
Upon your violent ending
Will the world survive?
Out of control
There goes my hero
Back to Earth my wounded sparrow
At your lips another poison arrow, no?
Now there's nowhere to go
Bleeding me home
'Til the chains have come undone

From our soul
Maybe it never was
Oh yeah
Haunted by the sun
Maybe never was

09. Live Entertainment

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
Nobody likes you
And nobody hates you
Looking the facts through
I try to relax you

(Just) don't go searching the skies
For the memory of lifetimes
Seeking replacement
Don't go back digging the bones
Of the uninvited secret
Sealed in your basement

(I) watch you step out of line, girl
And it's live entertainment
One at a time, girl
And it's live entertainment

You like talking to strangers
You like to dabble in dangers
Hiding under the table
Because the sky's raining angels

(Just) don't go searching the skies
For the memory of lifetimes
Seeking replacement
Don't go back digging the bones
Of the uninvited secret
Sealed in your basement

(I) watch you step out of line, girl
And it's live entertainment
One at a time, girl
And it's live entertainment

Stuck in the same town
We're on our way down
We each get a small share, but we're
Sick of the same air

(I) watch you step out of line, girl
(Watch you step out of line)
And it's live entertainment
One at a time, girl
(One at a time)
And it's live entertainment
(I) watch you step out of line, girl
(Watch you step out of line)
And it's live entertainment
One at a time, girl
(One at a time)
Live entertainment

10. Diamond In The Crush

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
It's a bad way to be sure
To divide the diseased from the pure
'Cause you can never tell
How you gonna find a way
To settle the earthly debt
The game ain't over but you're
Tempted to press reset
Gentlemen, place your bets
You know it happens today

See the lonely boy
Drowning out like an echo
In the rush - rush, rush...
Get a look in his face
He's the only one
Holding up like a diamond
In the crush - crush, crush...

It's a bad way to forget
To obsess on the blood that you let
'Cause you can never tell
How you gonna find a way
To settle the earthly debt
The game ain't over but you're
Tempted to press reset
Gentlemen, place your bets
You know it happens today

See the lonely boy
Drowning out like an echo
In the rush - rush, rush...
Get a look in his face
He's the only one
Holding up like a diamond
In the crush - crush, crush...
But you know it happens in the U-S of A

See the lonely boy
Drowning out like an echo
In the rush - rush, rush...
Take a look in his face
He's the only one
Holding up like a diamond
In the crush - crush, crush...

He's the only one
Holding up like a diamond
In the crush - crush...
Take a look in his face
See the lonely boy
Holding up like a diamond
In the crush - crush, crush...
Crush...

11. Shadow Play

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
Got what I wanted
Now I don't know
I dream we're falling
And there's nothing below
When I woke today
Found you'd run away
I should have warned you
That this house is haunted
There's nothing left to say
Still I watch your shadow play
Hey...

Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love for you
Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love for you

I scale the wall
The engines stall
I dream we're flying
While the sky is falling
Still you're moving in
Under my skin

Guess I should warn you
That this house is haunted
Though I look away
You know I watch your shadow play
Hey...

Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love for you
Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love for you

Whispers on a shelf
Whispers to myself
I love you
Whispers all I know
Whispers of a ghost
I love you

Saw what I saw
Know what I know
You feed the fires in my
Mountain of snow
When I close my eyes
Feel the red sun rise
Set a fire this morning
To perform our last goodbye
Though so fast I turn away
You know I watch your shadow play
Hey...

Oh, don't forget my love
Don't forget my love for you
Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love
Ooh, you don't forget my
So you don't forget my love
For you
Don't forget my love for you

12. These Iron Bones

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
Be still your turning soul
Dark eyes burning cold
What lies have I been told?
Tales from a distant shore
Our time has come today
Sharp thoughts
But nothing that I can say
There is no easy way
And I hear the voices call...

We're gonna get you
No matter where you turn

These iron bones
Once flown by drones
Now overthrown
Shall guide us home

This ending is begun
No time and gravity come undone
We'll sail into the sun
Tales from a distant shore
I watched your body die
No time to savor the long goodbye
Defective by design
And I hear the voices call...

We're gonna get you
No matter where you turn

These iron bones
Once flown by drones
Now overthrown
Please tell me why
You turn to stone
Your thoughts unknown
These iron bones
Shall never die

We're gonna get you
No matter where you turn
We're gonna get you
No matter where you burn

These iron bones
Once flown by drones
Now overthrown
Please tell me why
You turn to stone
Your thoughts unknown
These iron bones
Shall never die

13. The Last Day

Music by 3
Lyrics by Joey Eppard
So this is how it ends, love
And brightness fills the air
The lights went down in April
And no one seemed to care
Relieve me of this burden of despair

The same mistakes I made, love
Will haunt me never more
They slew me where I lay, love
The pounded down my door
Now that I - I am no
Longer keeping score

So kill me now I'm helpless
And dark my have his day
The hour is late for lyrics
The words have blown away
Now that I have shed
The burden of decay

It's the last day
Of the world
All the stars fired up
To unfurl
I'm gonna meet you
In the space within
You and I
We'll race the light
And win

It's the last day
Of the world
