Crucify the Dead
The fire started long ago
The flames burned out, still embers glow
So charred and black
There's nothing left to burn, to burn
We had the same dream
Lived life to extreme
A loaded gun jammed by a rose
The thorns are not around your head
Your ego cursed you till you bled
You cannot crucify the dead
To me you're dead, yeah
The future is unset in stone
Decisions past leave you alone
Betrayed us all with your own selfish greed, your greed, yeah
New soldiers now say
That your beggars collect
Re-crucified and paid by you
The thorns are not around your head
Your ego cursed you till you bled
You cannot crucify the dead
To me you're dead, yeah
We were like brothers with the world in our hands
You always have too much to say
Someday you look back and you wonder why
You let it all slip away, yeah
Crucify the dead
Crucify the dead
The thorns are not around your head
Your ego cursed you till you bled
You cannot crucify the dead
To me you're dead, yeah
از نظر خود من جذابترین آهنگ آلبوم. خواننده ئوزی ئوزبورن (Ozzy Osbourne) است و جایی برای حرف نگذاشته. ئسلش افتخاری برای خود دانشته که ئوزی دیگر کارهایش را برای این کار متوقف کرده و تمام وقت برای نوشتن و اجرای وقت گذاشته.
این آهنگ را خطاب به ئکسل روز باید دانست. شاید پاسخی به ساری (Sorry) از آلبوم دموکراسی چینی گانز! فکر نمی کنم نیاز به توضیحات اضفه باشد. با گوش دادن به آهنگ همه حرف ئسلش را خواهید فهمید.
Beautiful Dangerous
I don't know who you are now
Mystery drenches my brain
I wanna jump deep into your cloud
'Cuz something tell's me it's gonna rain
I guess the blood starts pumping (the only line I am not sure of)
And my heart starts jumping
And that's when I spit on the pole
Now my head's exploding
And your gun is loaded
So I'm guessing I'm on a roll
Well it's a fine time
Looking for a wine time man
And you said "baby you ready to play"
Well come right on this roller-coaster
Cuz it aint over, it aint over
Now we're on this planet
I'm in love with all your danger, danger
We can live forever
I can be your pagan angel, angel
Beautiful Dangerous
You acted smooth like brandy
Savor the flavor with life
You can be Sid, I'll be Nancy
Cause sometimes it's more fun to fight
فرگی (Fergie) خوانده این آهنگ است. شور بی مثالی در آهنگ جمع شده. ئسلش او را پدیده ای در راک می داند!
Back From Cali
Woke up this morning all alone
I got a ringin' in my head
I couldn't take it anymore today
She left me here for dead
Oh, I (echoed)
And it don't come as no surprise
I should have known if from the start
The lights are faded
And I can't deny this place ain't got no heart
Oh, you can hear my tonight
You can hear me tonight
You'll have to carry me
Back from Cali
I'm tired and broken and I lost my way
You'll have to carry me
Back to where I belong
You'll have to carry me
Back from Cali
I don't want money
I don't need the fame
You'll have to carry me
Back to where I belong
I got to leave this angel city
I can't do it by myself
So if you please
Mama, can you save me
Before I blow this life to hell
Oh, love
Mama drag me by the feet
And just drag me home
You'll have to carry me
Back from Cali
I don't care if you think I'm to blame
You'll have to carry me
Back to where I belong
You'll have to carry me
Back from Cali
The angel city where the devils play
You'll have to carry me
Back to where I belong
Yeah, you can hear me tonight
You can hear me tonight
You can hear me tonight
You can hear me tonight
I've lost my way
I'm so alone
And all I want to do is come home
مایلز کندی (Myles Kennedy) خواننده اصلی این آهنگ است.
Promise
The first time I ever saw you
You had that far away look in your eyes
And heaven's eyes shined down upon you
And the whole room filled up with light
Now the cruel world it's gonna try and change you
Try to hang you up and mess with your pride
Now the rich just try to chain you (?)
You got to keep your fire burning inside
Promise me
You won’t let them put out your fire
Put out your fire
Promise me
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire
Now sometimes the world tries to slap you
And it seems to love watching you fall
I wont lie to you, it's gonna happen
You got to pick yourself up and move on
Promise me
You won’t let them put out your fire
Put out your fire
Promise me
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire
Which star will I be thinking of tonight
Tonight
Which star will I be thinking of tonight
Tonight
Promise me
You won’t let them put out your fire
Put out your fire
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire
Promise me
(Why don’t you)
Promise me
(Why don’t you)
Promise me
(Why don't you)
Promise me
(Why don't you)
کریس کورنل خواننده این آهنگ است و متن آنرا نیز او نوشته. ئسلش معتقد است این unorthodoxترین آهنگ اوست. او موزیک را برای کریس فرستاد و بعد از 48 ساعت متن آهنگ را کریس برایش فرستاد و کارها به سرعت پیش رفتند.
By the Sword
With the horses that you ride,
And the feelings left inside,
Comes a time you need to leave all that behind,
Well they claim they'd like to know,
And they'll fight you there to go,
And they're gatherin' around for all the show,
Well there is a reward,
To live and die by the sword,
Well they tried to complicate you,
But you left it all behind,
All the worldly possessions,
Are left for recollections,
And finally it's all gone!
They're releasing all the hounds,
What is lost can still be found,
When you're walking with your fear down on the ground,
Well there's those who choose to run
Following the setting sun,
And now it seems the journey's has begun,
Well there is a reward,
To live and die by the sword,
Well they tried to complicate you,
But you left it all behind,
All the worldly possessions,
Are left for recollections,
And finally it's all gone!
With the horses that you ride,
And the feelings left inside,
there's a time you need to leave it all behind,
Well there is no reward,
To live and die by the sword,
Well they tried to complicate you,
But you left it all behind,
All the worldly possessions,
Are left for recollections,
And finally it's all gone!
اندرو ئستوکدیل (Andrew Stockdale) آهنگ را خوانده. بعضی بخشهای ابتدایی آهنگ یاد آور دو تا از کارهای قدیمی U2ست.
Gotten
So nice to see your face again
Tell me how long has it been
Since you’ve been here
(since you’ve been here)
You look so different than before
You’re still the person I adore
Frozen with fear
All out of love but I take it from the past
All out of words cause I’m sure it’ll never last
I’ve been saving these last words for one last miracle
But now I’m not sure
I can’t save you if you don’t let me
You just get me like I’ve never been gotten before
Maybe it’s a bitter wind
That chilled from the pacific rim
That brought you this way
(brought you my way)
Do not make me think of him
The way he touched your fragile skin
That haunts me every day
I’m out of love but I can’t forget the past
I’m out of words but I’m sure it’ll never last
I’ve been saving these last words for one last miracle
But now I’m not sure
I can’t save you if you don’t let me
You just get me like I’ve never been gotten before
Like I’ve never been gotten before
Slash Solo
So nice to see your face again
But tell me will this ever end
Don’t disappear
I’ve been saving these last words for one last miracle
But now I’m not sure
And I can’t save you if you don’t let me
You just get me like I’ve never been gotten before
Like I’ve never been gotten before
آدام لوبن (Adam Levine) آهنگ را خوانده ولی نه آنطور که در مارون فایو می خواند.
Doctor Alibi
I went to see the doctor
He said you're pretty sick
You got some real bad habits
You'd better stop right quick
I said doctor that's real bad news
Don't know what I'm gonna do
Doctor
There's nothin' wrong with me
Doctor doctor
Can't you see
Doctor
I ain't gonna die
Just write me an alibi
I went to see a shaman
He said you'll be alright
Just keep doin' what you love
Every single night
I said that's what I need to hear
(?) my childish fears
Doctor
(?)
Doctor doctor
My oh my
Doctor
You're the one for me
That's the mojo that I need
Don't you know that I feel alright
Doin' what I do
I ain't gonna tow the line
Not till' I turn blue
All I got is one short life
That's what people say
And I ain't gonna waste a second
Doin' what you say
*solo*
I won't be the one you like
I won't be the boy next door
I won't be the chosen one
That's not what I'm here for
I don't like the way you are
I despise what you hold dear
Don't you try to make me change
I'll haunt you for a thousand years
Doctor
Don't you (?)
Doctor
Don't you (?)
Doctor
Stay away from me
Sick is what I'd rather be
Doctor
Doctor doctor death
Doctor
Doctor out of breath
Doctor
I ain't gonna die
Just write me an alibi
خیلی توپه آهنگ. کلی سرحال میاره آدمو. لمی (Lemmy Kilmister) آهنگ را خوانده. ئسلش می گوید: او آمدو شعر خفنگ اهنگ را نوشت. شعر درباره کسی است که پیش پزشک می رود و پزشک به او می گوید ار این روش زندگی را ادامه دهی زیاد زنده نمی مانی. پزشک دیگری هم می گوید به همین روش زندگی ادامه بده که هیچ مشکلی نداری, و این داستان تمام حضور من در دنیاست!
Watch This
آهنگ بدون کلام. کار ئسلش و دیو گروهل(Dave Grohl). بیس هم دوف مک کاگان. حس کارهای اوز بور ایلوژن ئسلش را اینجا هم می توانید بیابید.
I Hold On
I feel comfort in your in my dreams
Unprotected silent screams
Light beyond your shadow beams
Still I don’t know what it means
When seasons change
Things Remain (?)
Chorus
I hold on cause I won’t let go
even though I know there’s solitude in your arms
I hold on cause I cant’ let go
I refuse to let her angel face go (?)
I hold on
And when the darkness turns today
I won’t let you drift away
Conscience fades and let’s go (?)
But I hang on cause I know
When she’s ashamed
When things remain (?)
Chorus
I hold on cause I won’t let go
even though I know there’s solitude in your arms
I hold on cause I cant’ let go
I refuse to let her angel face go (?)
I hold on
ئسلش در باره این آهنگ می گوید: گاهی دو ایده متفاوت را برای یک هنرمند می فرستم تا عکس العملش را ببینم. این کار را با Kid Rock هم کردم. بعد از فرستادن آهنگ اول هیچ پاسخی از او نشنیدم. سپس آهنگ دوم را ایمیل کردم و خیلی سریع جوابم را گرفتم.
Nothing to Say
We seem so lost and jaded
Well what a price to pay
It can't be overstated,
and you seem infatuated
with finding who's to blame.
While it can seem so hard now,
I got a feeling we ain't meant to live this way.
Don't tell me it's too late,
cause I feel it too, we all love to hate
and let others lead the way.
Some searching to find
That life with a new piece of mind.
And still we march further away,
Singing our songs of yesterday.
While so much still stands in our way,
Voices with nothing to say.
Some feel that life's a favor,
While some don't have the time.
Worship and kiss the altar,
All hail the mighty father,
but love will keep you blind.
Same questions we keep asking,
Won't hear the answers
cause we're scared of what we'll find
We try and compensate through our troubled faith that should keep us safe
and keep searching for a sign.
Some searching to find
That life with a new piece of mind.
And still we march further away,
Singing our songs of yesterday.
While so much still stands in our way,
Voices with nothing to say.
There won’t be another day, no changing of the seasons,
And no one's gonna save us from the lies.
The greatest story ever told,
Is only what you make it.
There will be struggle and fear,
All by design
And still we march further away (So lost and jaded)
Singing our songs of yesterday (Nothing's got all the point, the blame)
While so much still stands in our way (Yeahhh!)
Voices with nothing to say
ام شدووز (M Shadows) آهنگ را خوانده. به نظر در ابتدا ئسلش مایل بوده دیو ماستین آنرا بخواند اما به دلیل اینکه دسترسی و کار با او سخت بوده منصرف شده.
Starlight
In the distance
Light years from tomorrow
But far beyond yesterday
She is watching
Heart aching with sorrow
She is broken, as she waits
Hoping that when all is said and done, we learn to love and be as one
Oh Starlight
Don’t you cry we’re gonna make it right
Before tomorrow
Oh Starlight
Don’t you cry we’re going to find a place where we belong (where we belong)
And so you know
You’ll never shine alone
There are shadows sleeping on the horizon
That leaves us scared and so afraid
As the fall out of a world divided
It brings her tears and so much pain
And so we take cover from the dark
Hoping to find where we can start
Oh Starlight
Don’t you cry we’re gonna make it right
Before tomorrow
Oh Starlight
Don’t you cry we’re going to find a place where we belong (where we belong)
And so you know
You’ll never shine alone
Starlight, we’ll find a place where we belong (where we belong)
You will see as the mountains fall and turn to dust
That there’s one thing that won’t change
I believe there’s something within each of us that always stays
That will always remain as long as love never fades
She is watching, heart aching with sorrow
She is broken, as she waits
دومین آهنگ آلبوم است که ئسلش با مایلز کندی کار کرده. ابتدا ئسلش مایل بود با Jack White کار کند آهنگ را که او مایل به خواندن نبود.
Saint is a Sinner Too
Hold my hands down
So they don't
In case you don't know
A saint is a sinner too
Blind my eseys so they
So I can't see
What coming for you
Is coming for me
I hear the choir sing
Calling me on back to you
And I forget now just what I'm supposed to do
When a saint is a sinner too
I hear the choir sing
Calling me on back to you
And I forget now just what I'm supposed to do
When a saint is a sinner too
A saint is a sinner too
Hold hold my hands down
Hold my hands down
I don't reach
I don't reach
So I don't reach for you
Oh oh
A saint is a sinner too
ئسلش این اهنگ را کاری متفاوت می داند. تمام سازها آکوستیک هستند و صدای Rocco Delucca بسیار خوب روی آهنگ نشسته.
We're All Gonna Die
Gee, I really like your tits
I'll say anything that fits
We carry our vision
Wherever we go
If you keep your mouth shut
It's still gonna show
We're all gonna die
So let's get high
We're all gonna die
So let's be nice
I'm in the mood
So let's intrude
Pee on the ground
And jump around
I'm getting sick of paying bills
I need my doctor, I need my pills
We carry our women
Wherever we go
If you keep their mouth shut
They're gonna moan
(Mhm)
We're all gonna die
So let's get high
We're all gonna die
So let's be nice
I'm in the mood
So let's intrude
Pee on the ground (heh heh)
And jump around
Life is demanding
But I'm just a bum
And if I respect it, boy
I feel dumb!
SOLO
We're all gonna die
So let's get high
We're all gonna die
So let's be nice
I'm in the mood
So let's intrude
Pee on the ground
And jump around
We're all gonna die!!!!!
(We're all gonna die)
(Laughing)
(We're all gonna die)
(I wanna, I wanna, I wanna whip it out and pee on the ground!)
(We're all gonna die)
(And then I'm gonna, and then I'm gonna, and then I'm gonna, afhadlfhalfheoqwefhlance, what am I gonna do? I'm gonna jump around!)
Iggy Pop خواننده این آهنگ است. ئسلش می گوید چند روز بعد از فرستادن آهنگ برای ایگی, او به من تلفن زد و روی انسریگ ماشینم شعر را خواند درحالی که صدای موسیقی توسط دستگاه استریو در زمینه صدای ایگی پخش می شد. این کار ایگی خیلی با حال بود.
