Behold these gates, the first one plain and old
Behold these gates, the second forged of gold
The gate of old spells out disgrace and shame
The one of gold cries out my noble name
I challenge death to meet me at this gate!
I challenge Odin to pronounce my fate!
And if I thrive I’ve overcome this land
But if I fail I’ll die a worthy man
Swing your hammer to crack the sky
Lift your cape so that you might fly
Back to Odin and gods on high
And leave this mortal world
Thor the mighty, Thor the brave
Crush the infidels in your way
By your hammer let none be saved
Live to die on that final day
Gods, monsters and men
We’ll die together in the end
Odin
[board hiccup]
For your eyes only, only for you
You see what no one else can see
Now I’m breaking free
Barely cold in her grave
Barely warm in my bed
Settling for a draw tonight
Puppet girl, your strings are mine
This one is for you for you
Only for you
Just give in to it never think again
I feel for you
You might think I’m crazy
To hang around with you
Maybe you think I’m lucky
To have something to do
I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it’s lack of sex
That’s bringing me down
I went to a whore
He said my life’s a bore
So quit my whining cause
It’s bringing her down
You got me runnin’ goin’ out of my mind,
You got me thinkin’ that I’m wastin’ my time.
Don’t bring me down, no no no no no,
I’ll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don’t bring me down.
Dead man lying
by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes.
Don’t let it bring you down
It’s only castles burning,
Find someone who’s turning
And you will come around.
Tell me how it happened did it hurt did you cry?
Did you ever feel yourself falling out of the sky?
Did you ever lie awake and wonder why?
Did you ever fall asleep and dream that you died?
Now it’s time to slow things down
Because I told you life speeds up and up and up
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles confusion is nothing new
Confusion will be my epitaph
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh
But I fear tomorrow I’ll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I’ll be crying
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Why she had to go
I don’t know, she wouldn’t say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
The sun will come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
There’ll be sun
Big bottom, big bottom
Talk about bum cakes, my girl’s got 'em
Big bottom, drive me out of my mind
How could I leave this behind?
Yeah it’s pretty clear, I ain’t no size two
But I can shake it, shake it like I’m supposed to do
'Cause I got that boom boom that all the boys chase
All the right junk in all the right places
I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
I’d of said the right thing
But I must have used the wrong line
I been in the right trip
But I must have used the wrong car
My head was in a bad place
And I’m wondering what it’s good for
I’m walkin’
Yes indeed I’m talkin’
‘Bout you and me I’m hopin’
That you’ll come back to me
Everybody’s talking at me
I don’t hear a word they’re saying
Only the echoes of my mind
Let me tell you now
Everybody’s talking about revolution, evolution
Masturbation, flagellation, regulation, integrations
Meditations, United Nations, congratulations
All we are saying is give peace a chance
