Shadow Preachers

Say what you want Break my heart a thousand times But it's still right here So you left me with lies Let the banners unfold Let them fall to the floor We once had each other Now we're not so sure Are we living in the past? Where there's nothing left to feel Why'd you say that you love me? Tell me what I want to hear A cold war for the mind My distant colours still bleeding A broken promise for the soul Never loving never healing I no longer know my left from my right Between your hopes and fears And my joys to decide So say what you want Break my heart a thousand times But it's still right here Will we ever survive? Are we living in the past? Where there's nothing left to feel Why'd you say that you love me? Tell me what I want to hear A cold war for the mind My distant colours still bleeding A broken promise for the soul Never loving never healing Never ever healing My distant colours still bleeding Still bleeding Are we living in the past? Where there's nothing left to feel Why'd you say that you love me? Tell me what I want to hear A cold war for the mind My distant colours still bleeding A broken promise for the soul Never loving never healing

We live in Orwellian times It feels impossible to pick a side In sentences that dance and hide The truth becomes a broken lie Every way you look, every way you turn The future fights the past, the books begin to burn I'll walk you through the apocalypse Where me and you could coexist Every way you look, every way you turn The future fights the past, the books begin to burn Words wage war, meanings being missed I'll walk you through the apocalypse We live in orwellian times A deepening sense of fear and crime Up on the playing fields in exclusive clubs And the people machines still making fools out of us Every way you look, every way you turn The future fights the past, the books begin to burn I'll walk you through the apocalypse Where me and you could coexist Every way you look, every way you turn The future fights the past, the books begin to burn Words wage war, meanings being missed I'll walk you through the apocalypse Every way you look, every way you turn The future fights the past, the books begin to burn I'll walk you through the apocalypse Where me and you could coexist Every way you look, every way you turn The future fights the past, the books begin to burn Words wage war, meanings being missed I'll walk you through the apocalypse

If God persists, persists in saying yes I guess we'll have, we'll have to test ourselves Maybe the Summer will come and clear our minds And find the impulse set at the sunshine I guess we'll have to test Until there's nothing left We said the truth was fixed It's lost without a trace This crime is eternity When time lost its certainty The Indian Summer Maybe this time We'll kiss and we'll not shake hands Indian Summer, still hurt and broken And leave all this material belief Remember the reasons The reasons that made us be I guess we'll have to test What's darker than ourselves? We said the truth was fixed It's lost without a trace This crime is eternity When time lost its certainty The Indian Summer The Indian Summer The Indian Summer The Indian Summer I guess we'll have to test Until there's nothing left We said the truth was fixed It's lost without a trace This crime is eternity When time lost its certainty The Indian Summer The Indian Summer The Indian Summer The Indian Summer

Is this just the beginning or did I look behind As I missed your demise as I fell through the night? I view you like a statue, so tight and controlled With my heart by your soul, until you find a home I am not pretending, but I'm turning away I cannot stay here with these debts I must pay I mapped out a journey to reach my broken heart Before I even started, the plan began to fall apart I've built so many walls to keep these feelings true I've burnt so many bridges, but not the one that leads to you Thе one that leads to you I looked into thе sunset, I screamed and I sighed I raised hope then it died, so I ran and I lied I stood still for a moment, paralysed The sky seemed so high as the world passed me by I can't find a solution as decades unfold So callous as my standstill takes hold I mapped out a journey to reach my broken heart Before I even started, the plan began to fall apart I've built so many walls to keep these feelings true I've burnt so many bridges, but not the one that leads to you Broken hearts Fall apart I've burnt so many bridges, but not the one that leads to you The one that leads to you I mapped out a journey to reach my sunken heart Before I even started, the plan began to fall apart I've built so many walls to keep these feelings true I've burnt so many bridges, but not the one that leads to you Thе one that leads to you

These are variants of our times Full of mistrust hatred and some lies The heap of broken images The jigsaw breaks again and it can't be fixed The fractured versions of our days The break our wisdom somehow made History gets to write its own lies The public votes and the public will decide As you caress the beauty of your screens Remember the mission to own your dreams To avoid tax and order your life To sell you a future you may not desire B-R-O-K-E-N algorithms B-R-O-K-E-N algorithms Here's the challenge: rise up against yourself We now know society's truly dead So I return to these words again When they burn so bright but die in flames I work through traces of my past I seek immunity within my soul They're carrying you and me along and lost The pieces fill a space that nowhere holds As you caress the beauty of your screens Remember the mission to own your dreams To avoid tax and order your life To sell you a future you may not desire B-R-O-K-E-N algorithms B-R-O-K-E-N algorithms
