Album: Take To The Skies (2007)
"Enter Shikari"
Shit!
Shit!
"I've been hiding here for a thousand years, waiting for your ghost"
"I've been hiding here for a thousand years, waiting for your ghost"
Your life's about to flash before your eyes
Your life's about to flash before your eyes
Stand your ground; this is ancient land
I was guided here by the spirit's hand
we shall meet, at Hells gate
This is fate (This is fate)
This is fate (This is fate)
"Not all is lost" the spirits shriek
you will be hunted, we shall seek
perseverance, turn the page
enter shikari, enter shikari
We're not hiding (We're not hiding)
We're not hiding (We're not hiding)
We're not hiding (We're not hiding now)
I'm in the zone
I'm in the zone
Alright
And still we will be here standing like statues
And still we will be here standing like statues
And still we will be here standing like statues
And still we will be here standing like statues
And still we will be here standing like statues
And still we will be here standing like statues
"Mothership"
Go tell all your friends that this is the end
Go tell all your friends that this is the end
Go tell all your friends that this is the end
This is the end
I don't understand a word you're saying
what are the clouds running from?
There's something in the air tonight
Something is wrong, spit it out!
I just fell from that Mothership
They said that
Your answers, were always lying on the ocean bed
Your answers, were always lying on the ocean bed
There's something in the air
There's something in the air
In the air, in the air
Tonight, I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
In the air, in the air
Tonight, I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
And I'll scream with a thousand voices...
I am sane
I am sane
My soul felt so safe up there
No self-centred natives destroying our earth
I just fell from that Mothership
They said that
Your answers, were always lying on the ocean bed
Your answers (your answers, your answers) were always lying on the ocean bed
Walk the plank, walk the plank, walk the plank
Walk the plank, walk the plank, walk the plank
Walk the plank
Your answers were always lying on the ocean bed
Your answers were always lying on the ocean bed
Your answers were always lying on the ocean bed
Your answers were always lying on the ocean bed
"Anything Can Happen In The Next Half An Hour"
His eyes are locked on her
Her eyes are fixed elsewhere
He's confident, but he's not aware
She doesn't care
Their only connection
is the silence they both grasp
He's lost control
But she's not aware, of his stare
Everything seems to intimidate him,
With the strobe lights flashing, her body's jolting
But cracking, as his eyes,
Split in two, if only she knew
If only she knew
If only
If only she knew
The curtain goes down on him again
The curtain goes down on him again
Everything seems to be closing in on her
It feels just like she is being hunted
But it's alright, it's all good
She's not aware, of his stare
We've had this date from the beginning
We've had this date from the beginning
The curtain goes down on him again
The curtain goes down on him again
Who remains when the curtain falls?
Who remains when the curtain goes down?
Who remains when the curtain falls?
Who remains when the curtain goes down?
"Labyrinth"
HELP!!!
The air turns black
The birds drop from the sky
This eagle has landed
I'm choking on your pride
But the walls are closing in
And you don't appreciate
That in my hands tonight
Is where your fate lies
Her face drains...
Stand up, take a bow you have
No reason to celebrate
You're lost in the labyrinth
Scream now it's not too late
HELP!
The air turns black
The birds drop from the sky
This eagle has landed
I'm choking on your pride
But the walls are closing in
And you don't appreciate
That in my hands tonight
Is where your fate lies
Her face drains...
Stand up, take a bow you have
No reason to celebrate
You're lost in the labyrinth
Scream now it's not too late
Nothing seems to break the walls down
Break the walls down
Nothing seems to break the walls down
Break the walls down
We'll break the walls
We'll break the walls
We'll break the walls down
We'll break the walls
We'll break the walls
We'll break the walls down
[Spoken:]
Well, it looks like the end of tonight for our
friend here
He's finding it hard to keep his head
Especially with his girl screaming in his ear
We've gotta ask ourselves, do they deserve this
Speak now or forever hold your peace
(Stand) Stand up
Will he make it out
I hope he makes out (Your)
He's gotta make it out
He's gonna make it out
(Stand) Stand up
(You're) You're lost
Get up, stand up
"No Sssweat"
Where's your respect? (Where's your respect?)
Why bite the hand that feeds you
It's not over yet not over yet (not over yet)
Plenty more fingers for you to nibble
I'd like to see you get your teeth round this
I'm sure your jaw will be surely missed
Not even salt can make your hands taste good
I'm still crunching your lifeline
Not even salt can make your hands taste good
I'm still crunching your lifeline
You do this every fucking time
No sweat (no tears) no guilt
You do this every fucking time
No sweat (no tears) no guilt
Not even salt can make your hands taste good
I'm still crunching your lifeline
Lifeline, lifeline, lifeline,
Blood fills your palms,
Lifeline, lifeline, lifeline
Blood fills your palms,
Lifeline, lifeline, lifeline
Blood fills your palms,
Where's your respect? (Where's your respect?)
Why bite the hand that feeds you
It's not over yet not over yet (not over yet)
Plenty more fingers for you to nibble
I'd like to see you get your teeth round this
I'm sure your jaw will be surely missed
Not even salt can make your hands taste good
I'm still crunching your lifeline
Not even salt can make your hands taste good
I'm still crunching your lifeline
You do this every fucking time
No sweat (no tears) no guilt
You do this every fucking time
No sweat (no tears) no guilt
Do this one more time and I'll bit your fucking fingers off!
"Today Won't Go Down In History"
You might never meet me,
For I am King.
And as we march into the storms eyes,
I find relief in the rain.
I can hind as I lead my army,
Into certain death.
Eyes over you. [x2]
Feel Alive. [x4]
And I wanted you to know,
Today won't go down in stone.
(Feel Alive)
And I wanted you to know,
I never meant for this.
(Close your eyes)
And I wanted you to know,
I never meant for this.
(Close your eyes)
Today won't go down in history,
So shut your eyes
"Return To Energizer"
You look like you
Rented a smile
From someone but you
Rented the wrong size
Take it back
You should take it back
BURY IT
That's not what you want
That's not what you want
Cause that would grow more
That's not what you want
That's not what you want
We still have
the element
of surprise
defence shields
DOWN
Return to energiser [x4]
Wave your bloody white flags
surrender
give in
that's not what you want [x4]
that's not what you
We still have
the element
of surprise
defence shields
down!
Return to energiser [x8]
And all hell breaks loose, when you're here...[x4]
"Sorry You're Not A Winner"
Scratch card glory or waist low pleasure?
Black eyes nose bleeds don’t look back now
My white abode do you remember?
My white abode do you remember?
But it’s such a thrill to find out...
Sorry you’re not a winner
With the air so cold and a mind so bitter
What have you got to loose
But false intentions and a life so pretentious?
Scratch card glory or waist low pleasure?
Black eyes nose bleeds don’t look back now
My white abode do you remember?
My white abode do you remember?
But it’s such a thrill to find out...
Sorry you’re not a winner
With the air so cold and a mind so bitter
What have you got to loose
But false intentions and a life so pretentious?
Scratch card glory or waist low pleasure?
Black eyes nose bleeds don’t look back now
My white abode do you remember?
I sweat I ache...
Sorry you’re not a winner
With the air so cold and a mind so bitter
What have you got to loose
But false intentions and a life so pretentious?
What?-What?-What?
Rawwwr
Please try again
Insert your coin
Please try again
Insert your coin...
"Jonny Sniper"
Rise, taste the air, lock and load, pull the trigger,
Climb, to new heights, and tell me, tell me what you hear...
A whisper from the wind, and I can't help but listen,
It warns us of disaster, and I can't help but wonder,
Can anyone hear the same distress call?
So this is a quest to save the world,
And he'll always be here for another,
Another day, another chance to rescue
(OK Jonny, lock and load)
This is all I need to feel alive,
(Remember now, aim small, missed mark)
The crashing of white waves and I can't help but listen,
The screaming of the Earth, and I can't help but...
So this is a quest to save the world,
And he'll always be here for another,
Another day, another chance to rescue
And this is all I need to feel alive, (oh yeah)
(Hey Jonny!)
This is all I need to feel alive
Way to save the world!
Way to save the world!
Way to save the world!
Way.....to save......the world!
So this is a quest to save the world,
And he'll always be here for another,
Another day, another chance to rescue
So this is a quest to save the world,
And he'll always be here for another,
Another day, another chance to rescue
This is all I need to feel alive [x9]
"Adieu"
And I long for you to appear
After losing your way across star riddled skies
To carry you home
[x2]
I cherish my loss
A gentle reminder, that life is unkind
At the best of times
And I long for you to appear
After losing your way across star riddled skies
To carry you home
I cherish my loss
A gentle reminder, that life is unkind
At the best of times
(Brace your self, cause I think I'm coming for you. Look up into the sky)
Home could be anywhere, when I am holding you...
"Ok, Time For Plan B"
Let this battle commence, one last time
Let this battle commence, one last time
Let this battle commence, one last time
(And I hope for your sake, that you're on our side)
Let this battle commence, one last time
(And I hope for your sake, that you're on our side)
Look what you've done to yourself
Yeah you've lost the will to do what's right again
Look what you've done to yourself
We'll fight like sharks, we'll fight like dogs
(We were shy...)
Look what you've done to yourself
Yeah you've lost the will to do what's right again
Look what you've done to yourself
Yeah
We try to communicate
We've got no patience
Let's reclaim this throne
Why should we negotiate
Let's finish this now
Let's settle this now
For once and for all
Let's settle this now
For once and for all
Let this battle commence, one last time
(And I hope for your sake, that you're on our side)
Let this battle commence, one last time! Woah!!!
(And I hope for your sake, that you're on our side)
Look what you've done to yourself
Yeah you've lost the will to do what's right again
Look what you've done to yourself
We'll fight like sharks, we'll fight like dogs
(We were shy)
Look what you've done to yourself
Yeah you've lost the will to do what's right again
Look what you've done to yourself
We'll fight like sharks, we'll fight like dogs
(We were shy)
The time has come to think again...
To think again...
Look what you've done to yourself...
OK, TIME FOR PLAN B.
THIS MEANS WAR!
THIS MEANS WAR!
THIS MEANS WAR!
THIS MEANS WAR!
Everyone freezes and waits for the earth to move
Everyone freezes and waits for the ground to shake
LETS MAKE THE EARTH MOVE
LETS MAKE THE GROUND SHAKE
LETS MAKE THE EARTH MOVE
LETS MAKE THE GROUND SHAKE
LETS MAKE THE EARTH MOVE
LETS MAKE THE GROUND SHAKE
LETS MAKE THE EARTH MOVE
LETS MAKE THE GROUND SHAKE!
