Noise Epic-The Verve

[01:19.54]Pleading with Athos of the Rock
[01:22.43]In the ancient language which he spoke
[01:25.72]But I didn't even give a damn
[01:28.14]'Cause all I wanted to do was just sit back and talk
[01:32.21]Talk about the restless winds that were blowing in my mind
[01:35.59]That twisted all we grow as too thin
[01:38.44]And feelings I had which I couldn't describe
[01:41.72]And the places I'd come within
[01:45.03]And in the chrome light I stood up and I just began
[01:48.55]I'd sell my pride on a whim, let it blow
[01:51.96]The righteous light that was guiding me still
[01:55.12]And the man with the Holy soul
[01:58.79]Impatience took a dim view of my words
[02:01.75]And let me down again
[02:04.93]I'm so dusty, laden with all that world-weary stars and reverends
[02:11.17]I've got your Mother Mary, God
[02:15.51]Life is empty
[03:29.81][02:18.11]I wanna find some peace today
[02:24.43]I said, Mother Mary, oh
[02:28.54]Life's so empty
[02:32.02]I need some peace today, oh oh today
[02:43.90]Oh those twisted corridors of power
[02:47.12]In the ivory walls of hate
[02:50.34]Where the eagle flies so proudly
[02:53.52]And I just can't, just can't wait
[02:56.78]In the victim's mind, he's ready
[02:59.93]He is ready to exploit the weakness
[03:03.18]Of the century's greed and feebleness
[03:07.52]And the lies they whisper
[03:09.01]To his brothers and sisters
[03:11.19]Please Jesus, oh I love you
[03:17.79]Won't you come and stay
[03:23.67]Mother Mary, I know life is empty
[03:39.91]Hannah hung around for the the rapture
[03:43.32]On the roam for forty years
[03:46.43]Always waiting for the prince of seventy-two
[03:46.59]Of course no-one came, and you know I still live in fear
[03:49.47]I was waiting for the world to fall apart, how about you?
[03:53.01]If Husain could have waited
[03:55.00]Nava'i could have seen the stars in the sky
[03:59.01]'Cause I've been waiting for you for fifty odd years
[04:02.38]I've been waiting for you through these hopes and these tears
[04:05.84]I was waiting for you, I'm a-waiting for you
[04:43.84]There's thunder, in the sky
[05:17.58]Why why why - did I let you down?
[05:30.29][05:23.56]Can I carry that cross for you?
[05:33.58]Is there anything that I need to know?
[05:46.27][05:39.90]Did you let me down?
[06:02.08][05:49.55]Why why why - did you let me down?
[05:58.85]Did you think I wouldn't know
[06:40.89]I wanna sit right here, I'm gonna write you a letter
[06:47.41]I wanna sail, I wanna sail over the ocean
[06:52.74]I wanna talk to Best and Muhammad Ali
[06:58.44]I don't just use my fists, yeah I use my feet
[07:04.11]They got spirit, I got spirit
[07:15.61]Oh mama mama mama it's like yellow earth
[07:21.31]What was it like for you when you was giving birth
[07:27.71]You got it in for you, I got it in for me
[07:32.85]I said, why you always jump in places like Stevie Mc Queen?
[07:39.18]I got spirit, come feel it
[07:45.16]I got spirit, you can feel it
[07:50.84]He got spirit, we gotta feel it
[07:56.62]You got spirit, scream if you feel it
[08:07.96]WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP
