Queensryche - One More Time/Someone Else

Queensryche - Promised Land The last 2 songs and 2 of my favorites indeed.

Behind my eyes
I keep my truth from you.
No one enters
This secret place,
The barrier only I embrace.
Time is fleeing now
They say,
Take time to look inside
And face... the change.

Dig down deep
To find the man I thought I was.
A dog on a treadmill panting,
The master pulls the leash, laughing.
Now I cant remember why
I needed to run, needed to try so hard.

One more time around
Is all I ask for now,
A star to seek by, wind to
Take me home again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Work hard in life boy,
Theres paradise in the end.
Year after year we struggle to gain
The happiness our parents never claimed.
They told us all we had to do
Was do what were told, buy what was sold,
Invest in gold, and never get old.

One more time around
Is all I ask for now,
A star to steer by, wind to
Take me home again.

When I fell from grace
I never realized
how deep the flood was around me.
A man whose life was toil
was like a kettle left to boil,
and the water left scars on me.

I know now who I am.
If only for a while,
I recognize the changes.
I feel like I did before the
magic wore thin and the "baptism
of stains" began.

They used to say I was
nowhere, man,
heading down
was my destiny.
But yesterday, I swear,
that was someone else not me.

Here I stand at the crossroads edge,
afraid to reach out for eternity,
One step, when I look down,
I see someone else not me.

Looking back and I see
someone else.

All my life they said I
was going down,
but I'm still standing,
stronger, proud.
And today I know there's
so much more I can be.

From where I stand at the crossroads edge,
there's a path leading out to sea.
And from somewhere
deep in my mind,
sirens sing out loud
songs of doubt
as only they know how.
But one glance back reminds, and I see,
someone else not me.

I keep looking back
at someone else... me?

[Queens9999]

Just listen to these f-cking lyrics - I feel really bad for the poor bastards who never were fortunate enough to hear Q-Ryche

[konevnin]

@Queens9999 Yeah I agree, but I feel more sorry for the poor bastards that ARE listening to their new album DTC!

[hawkhandsaw]

@HenryWinehard Very well thanks! This past year has been marked by drastic changes, some of which were extremely hard to accept. Now opportunities and possiblities are opening up which were shut off from me before "the change". How about you?

[eDrone33]

Just a small correction in the lyrics of "One More Time".

It's "a star to STEER by", not "seek by".

[YouJustGotSome]
