U2 - Moment of Surrender

lyrics
I tied myself with wire
To let the horses run free
Playing with the fire
Until the fire played with me

The stone was semi-precious
We were barely conscious
Two souls too smart to be
In the realm of certainty
Even on our wedding day

We set ourselves on fire
Oh God, do not deny her
Its not if I believe in love
But if love believes in me
Oh, believe in me

At the moment of surrender
I folded to my knees
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me

Ive been in every black hole
At the altar of the dark star
My bodys now a begging bowl
Thats begging to get back, begging to get back
To my heart
To the rhythm of my soul
To the rhythm of my unconsciousness
To the rhythm that yearns
To be released from control

I was punching in the numbers at the ATM machine
I could see in the reflection
A face staring back at me
At the moment of surrender
Of vision over visibility
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me

I was speeding on the subway
Through the stations of the cross
Every eye looking every other way
Counting down til the pain would stop

At the moment of surrender
Of vision of over visibility
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me

One of the best songs I've ever heard. U2 or not U2, this is one of the best ever!

[miarrem]

This is an amazing album - this song is constantly in my head, I love it....Bono sings soooo soulfully

[monkeymarf]

first time i lissend to the new album i didn't liked it so much but i just kept listening to it and now im adicted to that collection of songs :P

[kamikazegavazzi]

u2's new album surprised me by kicking ass. I haven't liked any of their albums since their legends from the 80s. Great song here, great lyrics. Has Bono always worn eye make-up????

We set ourselves on fire Oh God, do not deny her Its not if I believe in love But if love believes in me Oh, believe in me Ive been in every black hole At the altar of the dark star My bodys now a begging bowl Thats begging to get back, begging to get back To my heart To the rhythm of my soul To the rhythm of my unconsciousness To the rhythm that yearns To be released from control

I suggest giving the album another listen. Although Moment of Surrender may be the best on the disc, there are other great songs. If you like this song have a listen to Unknown caller or Magnificent

[nebjamin95]

i totally agree with you. i was bummed out when i heard "get on your boots". i expected better from U2. but nobodys perfect, not even U2

[Neptune737]

I hope he writes some good songs for a change. The last decade has been nothing but junk from him

[kellykinsel]

The best song on the new album. This one and Fez are good "reinventions" of themselves.

however, the rest of the album is complete garbage. i mean "get your boots on" Give me a break! that song and the other 7 songs are boring junk
