Billy Talent – In The Fall

Time… rolling along with the waves,
A thousand miles away
Holding you close in the rain,
Seems just like yesterday

Lost… hope in a faraway place
And in my hand remains,
A black and white print of a face,
I’ll never see again

I gave my life to save her
The ocean turned to red
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
Cut down like lambs at slaughter,
Good men were left for dead
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all

Love… served until death do us part,
I’m drifting in the dark
Wounded and wishing to fall,
Into your faithful arms

I gave my life to save her
The ocean turned to red
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
Cut down like lambs at slaughter,
Good men were left for dead
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all

Beneath the sky of hate,
Beyond the sea of pain,
In heaven I will wait,
Until we meet again

I gave my life to save her
The ocean turned to red
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
Cut down like lambs at slaughter,
Good men were left for dead
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all


Billy Talent – Surrender

She reads a book from across the street,
Whenever someone that she’ll never meet.
Talk over coffee for an hour or two,
She wonders why I’m always in a good mood.
Killin’ time before she struts her stuff,
She needs supporting, I’ll become the crutch.
She’ll never know how much she means to me.
I play the game but I’m the referee.

Surrender every word, every thought every sound.
Surrender every touch, every smile, every frown.
Surrender all the pain we’ve endured until now.
Surrender all the hope that I lost you have found.
Surrender yourself to me.

Even though I know what I’m lookin’ for,
She’s got a brick wall behind her door.
I travel time and confess to her,
But I’m afraid she’d shoot the messenger.

Surrender every word, every thought every sound.
Surrender every touch, every smile, every frown.
Surrender all the pain we’ve endured until now.
Surrender all the hope that I lost you have found.
Surrender yourself to me.

I think I found her suffering the field of words,
I think I found her frowning in a field of words.
Searching until my hands bleed,
This flower don’t belong to me.

I think I found her suffering the field of words,
I think I found her frowning in a field of words.
Searching until my hands bleed,
This flower don’t belong to me.
This flower don’t belong to me.
Why could she belong to me?

Every word, every thought every sound.
Every touch, every smile, every frown.
All the pain we’ve endured until now.
All the hope that I lost you have found.

Surrender every word, every thought every sound.
Surrender every touch, every smile, every frown.
Surrender all the pain we’ve endured until now.
Surrender all the hope that I lost you have found.
(Surrender) I never had the nerve to ask,
(Surrender) as my hope had come and passed.
(Surrender) I never had the nerve to ask,
(Surrender) as my hope had come and passed.
(Surrender) I never had the nerve to ask,
(Surrender) as my hope had come and passed.

(Surrender) I never had the nerve to ask


Billy Talent – Covered In Cowardice

Twisted tongues will place you in a category
Face to face you’ll hear them tell a different story
Loose lips may sink ship, but honesty’s forever
I solve and think pull and try to sever

[Pre Chorus:]
Cowards! They hide behind their words!
Don’t care if feeling will get hurt
Beware the voice without a face
That’s hidden underneath a…..

[Chorus:]
Covered In Cowardice! (Can’t you see me?!)
Covered In Cowardice! (Can’t you hear me?!)
Beware the voice without a face
That’s hidden underneath a…..

Covered In Cowardice! (Can’t You see me?!)
Covered In Cowardice! (Can’t you hear me?!)
Cowards! They hide behind their words!
Don’t care if feeling will get hurt

There eyes are blinded by there rage
Beware the voice without a face

When your insecure, they’ll find a fuel to start a fire
better pricks? with only hatred to inspire

Level heads pray there revenge will make it better
Trust your instinct like you trust what’s in the mirror

[Pre Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

A voice without a face!
A voice without a face!


Billy Talent – Where Is The Line

Urban Hipster, the new gangster… frontin’ by the club
New wave mannequins packin’ haircuts, instead of packin’ guns
Magazines form overseas, won’t teach you how to feel
They trade in their hearts for indie rock charts to tell them what is real

When did they assume… putting on a costume?
Gave them a right to… ostracize
Out of the woodwork… art aficionados
Answer one question…

Where is the line? Where is the line?
Between your fashion and your mind
Where is the line? Where is the line?
‘Cause some of us aren’t blind!
Where is the line? Where is the line?
To be your self is not a crime
Where is the Line? Where is the line?
‘Cause some of us aren’t blind!
She sells street cred with no smile, at the local record store
She’s acting the role and dressing the part, pretending to be bored
The truth about conformity, is it bites without a sting
Trends come and go, but when your alone it doesn’t mean a thing

When did they assume… putting on a costume?
Gave them a right to… ostracize
Out of the woodwork… art aficionados
Answer one question…

Where is the line? Where is the line?
Between your fashion and your mind
Where is the line? Where is the line?
‘Cause some of us aren’t blind!
Where is the line? Where is the line?
To be your self is not a crime
Where is the Line? Where is the line?
‘Cause some of us aren’t blind!

Here today, but forgotten tomorrow!
Here today, but forgotten tomorrow!
Here today, but forgotten tomorrow!


Billy Talent – Fallen Leaves

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground

I hitched a ride, until the coast
To leave behind, all of my ghosts
Searching for something, I couldn’t find at home

Can’t get no job, can you spare a dime?
Just one more hit, and I’ll be fine
I swear to God, this’ll be my one last time!

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground

When it gets dark, in Pigeon Park
Voice in my head, will soon be fed
By the vultures, that circle round the dead!

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground

I never once thought, I’d ever be caught!
Staring at sidewalks, hiding my track marks!
I left my best friends, or did they just leave me?

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground

Run away before you drown!
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground


Billy Talent – Pins And Needles

Never understood how she could,
Mean so little to so many
Why does she mean everything to me?

Is it worth the pain, with no one to blame?
For all of my insecurities
How did I ever let you go?

Questioning her good intention
Jealousy’s a bad invention
When you push on glass, it’s bound to break

Even when she was defensive,
It just gave me more incentive
The more you squeeze, the more it slips away

I never walked so far on a lonely street
With no-one there for me
Is it worth the pain, with no one to blame?
For all of my insecurities
How did I ever let you go?

Accept this confession! …I’m walking on pins and needles
You’re not my possession! …I’m walking on pins and needles
My conscience is vicious! …I’m walking on pins and needles
And I’m begging forgiveness! …I’m walking on pins and needles

I never walked so far on a lonely street,
With no one there for me
It took too long to see her in misery
And now it’s clear to me

That it’s worth the pain, always take the blame
For all your own insecurities
How did I ever let you go?


Billy Talent – Worker Bees

March on, worker bees!
Know your enemy!

We take our orders given by the queen
We’re not the killers, we’re the worker bees
If you resist us you will feel our sting
Surrender now before the swarm sets in

Protect the hive from enemies!
Protect the hive from enemies!
Follow the herd mentality!
Can we fight to save our souls?

March on, worker bees!
Know your enemy!

A pollination coming from the west,
And in a flash we will invade your nest
Supply of honey flowing bottomless
Play by our rules or you’ll be powerless

Protect the hive from enemies!
Protect the hive from enemies!
Follow the herd mentality!
Can we fight to save our souls?
And we’ll march… along, with our blindfolds on
And we’ll ride… the rails, with our pistols drawn
Can the Lord… above, forgive what we’ve done?
Can we fight to save our souls?

And we’ll march… along, with our blindfolds on
And we’ll ride… the rails, with our pistols drawn
Can the Lord… above, forgive what we’ve done?
Can we fight to save our souls?

Can we fight to save our souls?
Will we die to save our home?


Billy Talent – This Suffering

Like a dagger drawn across my chest
Shoots a bullet in russian roulette
Yeah you should never turn your back on me
Rescue me, rescue me
Would you stand by me and bury me?
Bury me, bury me
Why don’t we end this
Why I can’t pretend this time
I need a friend to find my broken mind,
Before it falls to pieces

Every time you try to leave me blind
You’ll never close my eyes
You’ll never close my eyes and watch me die

And when she spins the bottle round and round
Every time it leaves me kept and bound
Yes, you should never turn your back on me
Rescue me, rescue me
Would you stand by me and bury me?
Bury me
Why don’t we end this
Why I can’t pretend this time
I need a friend to find my broken mind,
Before it falls to pieces

And this lie I cant pretend
This time I need a friend to find my broken mind
Before it falls to pieces
Every time you try to leave me blind
You’ll never close my eyes
You’ll never close my eyes and watch me die

Misery won’t get the best of me
Cause now I’m calling, yes I’m calling on your bluff

Misery won’t get the best of me
Cause now I’m calling, yes I’m calling on your bluff

Don’t tell your lies I’ve had enough

Why don’t we end this
Why I can’t pretend this time
I need a friend to find my broken mind,
Before it falls to pieces
Every time you try to leave me blind
You’ll never close my eyes
You’ll never close my eyes and watch me die

And this lie I cant pretend
This time I need a friend to find my broken mind
Before it falls to pieces

Every time you try to leave me blind
You’ll never close my eyes
You’ll never close my eyes and watch me die


Billy Talent – Red Flag

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don’t need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don’t need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday

Well I’ve never seen us act like this
Our only hope is the minds of kids
And they’ll show us a thing or two

Our only weapons are the guns of youth
It’s only time before they tighten the noose
And then the hunt will be on for you

The Red Flag waving never meant the same
No… The Red Flag waving never meant the same

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don’t need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don’t need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday

Like the smallest bee packs a sting
Like a pawn checkmates a King
We’ll attack at the crack of dawn

Build a ladder if there’s a wall
Don’t be afraid to slip and fall
Speak for yourself or they’ll speak for you

The Red Flag waving never meant the same
No… The Red Flag waving never meant the same

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don’t need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don’t need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday

Like a fire
Don’t need water
Like a jury
Needs a liar
Like a riot
Don’t need order
Like a madman
Needs a martyr

We don’t need them [x8]

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don’t need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don’t need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don’t need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday

(we don’t need them) Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
(we don’t need them) The Red Flag waving never meant the same
(we don’t need them) The kids of tomorrow don’t need today
(we don’t need them) When they live in the sins of yesterday

(we don’t need them) Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
(we don’t need them) The Red Flag waving never meant the same
(we don’t need them) The kids of tomorrow don’t need today
(we don’t need them) When they live in the sins of yesterday

We don’t need them!!


Billy Talent – Devil In A Midnight Mass

A devil in a midnight mass,
He prayed behind stained glass
A memory of Sunday class
Resurrected from the past

Hold your breath and count to four
Pinky swears don’t work no more
Footsteps down the hallway floor
Getting closer to my door
I was alive but now I’m singing

[Chorus:]
Silent night for the rest of my life
Silent night for the rest of my life
Violent knight at the edge of your knife
Guilty, guilty… won’t make it right
Silent night for the rest of my life
Silent night at the edge of your knife
(You’re guilty!)

A devil in a midnight mass,
the temple he just passed.
Attempt a dozen hits,
Can never wash away his sins

I was told that the world wouldn’t believe me.
In the cold, sinners world, tried to see them.

Mother nature, Sister fear.
A place called Hell is close to here.
Put my trust in God that day,
not the man that taught his way.
I was alive, but now I’m singin’

[Chorus]

[Whispered]
Whisper, whisper, don’t make a sound.
Your bed is made and it’s in the ground [x2]

[Screamed]
Whisper, whisper, don’t make a sound.
Your bed is made and it’s in the ground [x4]
