Disturbed - Evolution Album Lyrics

Are You Ready

Are you ready?
Get up, get up
Get up, get up
Get up, get up
Get up, get up
Get up, get up
Get up, get up

Are you ready now?
For the revolution For too long your power
Has been taken away It’s been taken away

Does your heart feel heavy now
Savor the solution
Take those mental shackles off
And throw them away
You’ve got to get them out of your mind
Don’t you let their vision leave you blind

Moving steady now
It’s a revelation for so long your
Focus has been taken away
Now you’re breaking away

They think they know you but
Here’s an education
No they can’t control you
Once you’ve broken away
They’re done patrolling your mind
When they’re searching for you, they will find
A force they aren’t ready for

Are you ready?
They aren’t ready for you to be strong
Are you ready?
They aren’t ready for you to prove them wrong
Are you ready?
They aren’t ready for you to be turned into someone
Who cannot be preyed upon

That’s enough already now
You don’t want to take it
All your reservations have been taken away
They’ve been taken away
So you think you’re ready now
For the revolution
Yeah, they can’t control you
Once you’ve broken away
You’ve got to get them out of your mind
When they stand before you they will find
A force they aren’t ready for

Are you ready?
They aren’t ready for you to be strong
Are you ready?
They aren’t ready for you to prove them wrong
Are you ready?
They aren’t ready for you to be turned into someone
Who cannot be preyed upon

Are you ready?

You got to get them out of your mind
When they stand before you they will find
A force they aren’t ready for

Are you ready?
They aren’t ready for you to be strong
Are you ready?
They aren’t ready for you to prove them wrong
Are you ready?
They aren’t ready for you to be turned into someone
Who cannot be preyed upon

Are you ready?
They aren’t ready for us to be strong
Are you ready?
They aren’t ready for us to prove them wrong
Are you ready?
Let me know you’re ready for you to be turned into people
Who cannot be preyed upon

Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?

You cannot be preyed upon
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?

No More

Once again we hear them calling for war
It doesn't matter what they're fighting for
They light the match and watch the whole world burst into flame
The story's always the same
So tell me people are you ready to kill?
Behold the propaganda, get your fill
A distant enemy is threatening our freedom again
How much would you like to spend?

Millions are falling in line
And it's just a matter of time
Endless destruction will ensure their pockets are lined
For all time

No more defending the lies
Behind the never ending war
It's time to make them realize
We will no longer be their whore
No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more

They don't care about the blood on their hands
Look at the world and you will understand
They count the money as the innocent continue to bleed
They're always planting the seed
So tell me people are you ready to die?
We're not believing in the reason why
The paint a picture and the whole damn world is deceived
It's all that they ever need

Millions keep falling in line
It's only a matter of time
Sowing destruction will make sure their pockets are lined
For all time

No more defending the lies
Behind the never ending war
It's time to make them realize
We will no longer be their whore
No more defending the lies
Behind the never ending war
It's time to make them realize
We will no longer be their whore

No it can't be disguised anymore
How they smile as we pay for their war

No more defending the lies
Behind the never ending war
It's time to make them realize
We will no longer be their whore
No more defending the lies
Behind the never ending war
It's time to make them realize
We will no longer be their whore
No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more

A Reason to Fight

The image in your eyes, reflecting the pain that has taken you
I hear it in your voice so ridden with shame from whats ailing you
I wont give up, so don't give in
You've fallen down but you can rise again
So don't give up

When the demon that's inside you is ready to begin
and it feels like its a battle that you will never win
When you're aching for the fire and begging for your sin
When there's nothing left inside, there's still a reason to fight

Lost in your world of lies i find it so hard to believe in you
Can it be real this time, or just a part of this game that we're playing through
I wont give up, so don't give in
You've fallen down but you will rise again
I wont give up

When the demon that's inside you is ready to begin
and it feels like its a battle that you will never win
When you're aching for the fire and begging for your sin
When there's nothing left inside, there's still a reason to fight

Don't let it take your soul
Look at me, take control
Where going to fight this war
This is nothing worth, dying for

Are you ready to begin
This is a battle that we are going to win

When you're aching for the fire and begging for your sin
When there's nothing left inside, there's still a reason

When the demon that's inside you is ready to begin
and it feels like its a battle that you will never win
When you're raking for the fire and begging for your sin
When there's nothing left inside, there's still a reason to fight

I'll be your reason to fight
Give you a reason to fight

In Another Time

Get up again
Turn it on again
Stare and try to find some meaning
Let the day begin
But you feel that urge in your mind

You stumble in, still holding in
You move like an electric zombie
Barely noticing as your life keeps passing you by

Oh I still can remember a time when it wasn't like this
Before the world became enslaved
Can we all go back to the time when we were not like this
Can we even be saved?

In another time when we weren't so blind
When the world was more than what we see online
When we actually lived instead of watching life
In another time, in another time

So it's 3 am
Turn it on again
You never seen the stuff completely
Keep checking in
On the "friends" that you're left behind
Always jumping in
Any argument
Seems everybody here knows everything
You know you'll never win
But you're certainly losing your mind

Oh I still can remember a time when it wasn't like this
Before the world became enslaved
Can we all go back to the time when we were not like this
Can we even be saved?

In another time when we weren't so blind
When the world was more than what we see online
When we actually lived instead of watching life
In another time, in another time

Reconnect again, disconnect again, over again
Reconnect again, disconnect again, over again
Reconnect again, disconnect again, over again
Reconnect again, disconnect again, over again
Reconnect again, disconnect again, over again
Reconnect again, disconnect again, over again

In another time when we weren't so blind
When the world was more than what we see online
When we actually lived instead of watching life
In another time, in another time

In another time will we still be blind?
Because there's so much more than what we see online
When we actually lived instead of watching life
In another time, in another time

Reconnect again, disconnect again, over again
Reconnect again, disconnect again, over again
Reconnect again, disconnect again, over again
Reconnect again, disconnect again, over again

Stronger On Your Own

Everybody has a story to tell
Listen closely now and you can hear mine as well
I was addicted to breaking my heart
I couldn't get enough of feeling it torn apart
So conflicted, in feeling the pain
I say I've had enough but still want it all again

I won't deny
I tried to hide it
But it was killing me inside
And now I
Feel un-whole

So if you're able to survive
And still you find yourself alone
You will begin to realize
That you are stronger on your
Stronger on your own

I've created my own personal hell
Come inside with me and you can be mine as well
This affliction will blacken your heart
I keep believing as it's tearing my soul apart
Self-destruction is the name of the game
I say I've had enough but still want it all again

I won't deny
I tried to hide it
But now it's killing me inside
And now I
Feel so cold

So if you're able to survive
And still you find yourself alone
You will begin to realize
That you are stronger on your own

And when you're able to decide
Then you don't want this anymore
You'll be the one to turn the tide
For you are stronger on your
Stronger on your
Stronger on your own

Leave it alone
Bury it, bury it
Leave it alone
Bury the dead
Leave it alone
Bury it, bury it
Leave it alone
Bury the dead
Leave it alone
Bury it, bury it
Leave it alone
Bury the dead

So if you're able to survive
And still you find yourself alone
You will begin to realize
That you are stronger on your own

And when you're able to decide
Then you don't want this anymore
You'll be the one to turn the tide
For you are stronger on your
Stronger on your
Stronger on your own

Hold on to Memories

Listen, everyone
The time will come when all of us say goodbye
Feel that aching in your heart
Leaving you broken inside
But we're never really gone
As long as there's a memory in you mind

So now go do the best things in life
Take a bite of this world while you can
Make the most of the rest of your life
Make a ride of this world while you can

Take the ones you love
And hold them close because there is little time
And don't let it break your heart
I know it feels hopeless sometimes
But they're never really gone
As long as there's a memory in you mind

So now go do the best things in life
Take a bite of this world while you can
Make the most of the rest of your life
Make a ride of this world while you can

And hold on to memories
Hold on to every moment
To keep them alive
The world's greatest tragedy
Souls who are not remembered
Cannot survive

So now go do the best things in life
Bring the fight to this world while you can
Make the most of the rest of your life
Shine your light on this world while you can

And hold on to memories
Hold on to every moment
To keep them alive
The world's greatest tragedy
Souls who are not remembered
Cannot survive

And hold on to memories (Hold on)
Hold on to every moment
To keep them alive (Keep them alive)
The world's greatest tragedy (Hold on)
Souls who are not remembered
Cannot survive

Savior of Nothing

Now you've become
Everything you claimed to fight
Through your need to feel you're right
You're the savior of nothing now
When you were a young one
They tormented you
They could always find a way to make you feel ashamed
Now that you are older
Everything they put you through
Left you with an anger that just cannot be contained
So you spend every day of your life
Always searching for something to set
You on fire
Now you've become
Everything you claimed to fight
Through your need to feel you're right
You're the savior of nothing now
Everywhere around you
You find reasons to
Turn into a warrior to protect what you believe
But you think their beliefs
Make them less than you
And that is a delusion that your sickness has conceived
Now you spend every day of your life
Always hoping that something will spark
That desire
Now you've become
Everything you claimed to fight
Through your need to feel you're right
You're the savior of nothing now
Now you've become
Everything you claimed to fight
Through your need to feel you're right
You're the savior of nothing now
You've become
Everything you claimed to fight
Through your need to feel you're right
You're the savior of nothing now

Watch You Burn

I didn't mean to give my soul away
To have the life I thought that everybody wants
And I need to let you know I was wrong
It's a sham
They stole my heart and took control away
And when I lost the life that everybody wants
Well, you'd think they'd help you out
But they don't give a damn

They lift you up (You might feel it, but don't believe it)
You take your turn (You'll see it, when you achieve it)
They light that spark (You can't fight it)
Then sit back and watch you burn
They lift you up (You might feel it, but don't believe it)
Give you your task (You'll see it, when you achieve it)
When your world goes dark (You can't hide it)
They'll just smile and watch you burn

You can't believe a single word they say
You tried to have the life that everybody wants
Pretty soon you'll figure out that you don't
It's a scam
You're torn apart, and then you're thrown away
And you become the one that everybody talks
By then there's no way out
It's all part of the plan

They lift you up (You might feel it, but don't believe it)
You take your turn (You'll see it, when you achieve it)
They light that spark (You can't fight it)
Then sit back and watch you burn
They lift you up (You might feel it, but don't believe it)
Give you your task (You'll see it, when you achieve it)
When your world goes dark (You can't hide it)
They'll just smile and watch you burn

They lift you up
You take your turn (You'll see it, when you achieve it)
They light that spark (You can't fight it)
Then sit back and watch you burn
They lift you up (You might feel it, but don't believe it)
Give you your task (You'll see it, when you achieve it)
When your world goes dark (You can't hide it)
They'll just smile and watch you burn

The Best Ones Lie

God damn maybe I am a little paranoid
'Cause I can feel it getting harder to breathe
I really don't know when it began to be unbearable
But now it's sickening me

Because the world keeps burning
And they keep turning the page
They love the drama
So pardon me if I don't give a
God damn bit about anything you're telling me
It's just a matter of fact

All of the best ones lie
And you're never gonna get me to see your side
I'm telling you all the best ones lie
And there's nothing you can say that will change my mind
So how about you don't even try

God damn maybe I am a little terrified
You know I really don't know what to believe
We watch the world die while they keep telling us there's nothing to fear
So now it's crippling me

Because the world keeps turning
And all people do is complain
They love the drama
Reality is they don't care a
God damn bit about anything you're telling me
It's just as simple as that

All of the best ones lie
And you're never gonna get me to see your side
I'm telling you all the best ones lie
And there's nothing you can say that will change my mind
So how about you don't even try

No!
You're not ready!

All of the best ones lie
And you're never gonna get me to see your side
I'm telling you all the best ones lie
And there's nothing you can say that will change my mind
Remember now, all of the best ones lie
And you'll never get me to see your side
So how about you don't even try

Yeah!
All of the best ones lie
But now it's sickening me
But now it's sickening me
God damn maybe I am
Yeah maybe I am

Already Gone

Now, we have come
Far too many times
To celebrate this death
That soon some will forget
And we mourned
Far too many times
To celebrate this death
I'm not ready for this yet

Is she already gone?
Can we call her back again?
Is she already gone?
Will she find me in the end?

Pain left me numb
Far too many times
To celebrate this death
I never will forget
And we spoke
Oh so many times
the words we never said
Are the ones I most regret

Is he already gone?
Can we call him back again?
Is he already gone?
Will I find him in the end?

Are they already gone?
Can we call them back again?
Are they already gone?
Will I find them in the end?

Are they already gone?
Are they already gone?
Are they already gone?
Will I find them in the end?
Will I find them in the end?

The Sound of Silence (live)

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

Fools, said I, you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence

This Venom

Everyday that passes by
I develop a new way to hate you
It slowly beckons a love inside
Now I can barely even stand the sight of you
We keep pretending there's nothing wrong
Playing parts in the tragic comedy
Soon we'll be singing a different song
When we both face our harsh reality

Yeah, we'll draw battle lines
Glorify our defenses once again
Yeah, we'll look for any sign
We'll meet each other's eyes once again

They all will hear our battle cry
(This venom)
It keeps repeating and it's making me realize
We're just not able to survive
(This venom)
This venom's killing us and we won't make it out alive

I'm used to feeling you're stalking me
I lie awake for the next explosion
With every word always haunting me
I'm never able to let my guard down
I feel the tension begin to rise
I'm tired of living the sick déjà vu again
If we're able to compromise
There's no hope of me getting screwed again

Yeah, we'll draw battle lines
Glorify those defenses once again
Yeah, we'll scream the same old lines
We'll meet each other's eyes and that is when

They all will hear our battle cry
(This venom)
It keeps repeating and it's making me realize
We're just not able to survive
(This venom)
This venom's killing us and we won't make it out alive

This venom

They all will hear our battle cry
(This venom)
It keeps repeating and it's making me realize
We're just not able to survive
(This venom)
This venom's killing us and we won't make it out alive
No, we won't make it out alive

They aren’t ready for us to prove them wrong
Are you ready?
Let me know you’re ready for you to be turned into people
Who cannot be preyed upon

Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?

You cannot be preyed upon
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?

Uninvited Guest

Thought I was rid of you
Thought it was over with
Thought I was over it
Thought I evicted you from my heart
Kicked you out of my mind
So nothing left of you
Wouldn't be left behind

Ooh, but you still take up all my space
You just won't go away

You stay in my head
Like an uninvited guest, uninvited guest
You still haunt my heart
Guess you haven't left it yet, haven't left it yet
Ooh, like an uninvited guest

Still see you everywhere
You're still in every room
Filled you with every move
I can't go on without erasing you from my heart
Tired of feeling this pain
Seems you're the only ghost
I just can't chase away

Ooh, you still inhabit every thought
I prayed that you'd be gone

You stay in my head
Like an uninvited guest, uninvited guest
You still haunt my heart
Seems you haven't left it yet, haven't left it yet

I don't want to feel you around
I just want you, want you out
So please, go, please

You stay in my head
Like an uninvited guest, uninvited guest
You still haunt my heart
Guess you haven't left it yet, haven't left me yet
You stay in my head
Like an uninvited guest, uninvited guest
You still haunt my heart like an uninvited guest
