Thrice - Eclipse/Motion Isn't Meaning Lyrics
ECLIPSE:Call everyone to armsWe'll fill the heavensWith the poisoned dreams of manCall everyone to armsWe forged these weaponsWith the strength of our own handsWe shot the sun from the skyApollo dead at our feetWe wander lost in the ryeAnd gather 'round in the streetFor centuries we watched the skyAnd burned to bridge the great divideCall everyone to armsWe'll fill the heavensWith the poisoned dreams of manCall everyone to armsWe forged these weaponsWith the strength of our own handsEclipse the body with stonesAnd lay him down with the restI smile when I am aloneAnd shed a tear for the pressFor centuries we watched the skyAnd burned to bridge the great divideWe dug the body upWe drank his golden bloodAnd light shone from our eyesBut it was not enoughAnd we still dream of deicideFor centuries we watched the skyWe burned to bridge the great divideBut now we burn with power and prideMOTION ISN'T MEANING:What a beautiful way to fake itThis sort of graceful defeatWe found a pattern out on the pavementSound the siren out through the streetsAdvance in perfect nonchalanceDo it together with a rifle reportDon’t marvel at our confidenceIt’s troubled, bottled, and above-all deformedTell me that you wanna stop the warBut baby you can't dance if there's no floorMotion isn't meaningIt’s just another drugBut it's all we've got...What a way to keep it togetherA black box, a prescription for speedWe found a freeway that goes on foreverDrown the demon in the deep black seaShield your eyesIt keeps burning to the rhythm of the rifle repeatingParalyzedBut I gotta keep movin' if I wanna keep breathingTell me that you wanna stop the warBut baby you can't dance if there's no floorMotion isn't meaningIt’s just another drugBut it's all we've got...we've got nowhere to goI'll take the life on the easy shipWe have our guns for the momentI’ll take the life on the easy shipWe have our guns!
