A Thousand Suns Leaked

That would be incredible

Yes, I know this. Minutes to Midnight is probably one of the best they did, until A Thousand Suns was leaked.

 

Hey guys here are the lyrics to Iridescent and The Messenger. so SPOILER! (let me know if there are any incorrect lyrics-typo's)

Iridescent -

Mike singing:

You were standing in the wake of devastation
and you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
and with the the cataclysm raining down,
your inside’s crying “Save me now”
you were there, impossibly alone

Chester singing:

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope of failures, all you’ve known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go
Let it go

Mike singing

And in a burst of light that blinded every angel
as if the sky had blown all the heavens into stars
you felt the gravity of temper grace falling into empty space
no one there to catch you in their arms

Chester singing:

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope of failures, all you’ve done
remember all the sadness and frustration
and let it go
let it go

Entire band singing melodically:

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope of failures, all you’ve known
remember all the sadness and frustration
and let it go
let it go

Let it go!
Let it go!
Let it go!
Let it go!
Let it go!

Chester singing:
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope of failures, all you’ve done
remember all the sadness and frustration
and let it go
let it go

-------
The Messenger:

When you feel you’re alone
cut off from this cruel world
your instincts telling you to run

listen to your heart
those angel faces
they’ll see you to you
they’ll be your guide
back home where life leaves us blind
love keeps us kind
it keeps us kind !

when you suffered it all
and your spirit is breaking
you’re growing desperate from the fight
Remember your love
and you always will be
this loyalty will always bring
you right back home

When life leaves us blind
Love, keeps us kind!
When life leaves us blind
Love keeps us kind!

Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhh!
Ohhhhhhh Ohhhhhh!
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhh!

haha, I know, just an odd time to use the "best since" line of talk. It's not as dramatic if you say, "this is our best sports team since last year!" as it is if you say "this is our best sports team since 1943!"

Edit: Dammit, didn't mean to DP.

 

In When they come for me, Mike says "Everyone wants the next thing to be just like the first... And I'm not a robot, I'm not a monkey" haha shout out to all the "old lp come back" peeps! Respect to Mike for doing that!

 

*spoiler*
Here is the text of the MLK speech. The audio clip in the song is actually different parts of the speech put together. The first sentence is near the beginning, the rest is closer to the end.

Oh yup u right.. im listening to it now.. can't wait til' THE LEGAL COPY releases out on stores in my country lol

 

Now I fully understand why NoBrain's remix won.

 

I think I'll wait forthe laser show tonight to hear the album

 

Blackout lyrics please

 

I´m proud of the band and proud of this site...

I´m since 2007 and it´s good to see a place where people can make constructive posts...hate it or love it do it with respect!!!

Thanks LPA for the coverage on the A Thousand Suns release!!!

 

No order yet but wtcfm is the best single, but blackout, wak, the catalyst, burning skies and wfte are very close. The only one i find too samey is robot boy, but thats my first impression.

 

I think it's

When you were standing in the wake of devastation
when you were waiting on the edge of the unknown

This song (iridescent) is my first listen favorite on this album, along with waiting for the end. This may change with more plays though.

The MLK speech is:
I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight because my conscience leaves me no other choice. A true revolution of values will lay hand on the world order and say of war, "This way of settling differences is not just." This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into the veins of peoples normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice, and love.

Beyond Vietnam -- A Time to Break Silence

Delivered 4 April 1967, at a meeting of Clergy and Laity Concerned at Riverside Church in New York City

EDIT: shortened quote, post was huge

 

SPOILER.

Robot boy lyrics, same deal, see typo's have corrections? Let me know

You say you’re not gonna fight
cause no one would fight for you.
And you think there’s not enough love
and no one to give it to
and you’re sure you’ve hurt for so long
you’ve got nothing else to lose
so you say you’re not gonna fight
cause no one would fight for you

You say the weight of the world
has kept you from letting go
and you think compassions a fault
and you’ll never let it show
and you’re sure you hurt in a way
that no one will ever know
but someday the weight of the world
will give you the strength to go

(oh, oh) (yeah!) (yeah!)
Hold on, the weight of the world
will give you the strength to glow

So hold on, the weight of the world
will give you the strength to go

So hold on, the weight of the world
will give you the strength to go
(yeah, yeah)
Just hold on, (hold on)
The weight of the world
will give you the strength to go

 

Im just thinking, if they sing iridescent on their concerts it would be awesome *O*!! they're gonna sing together with their fans on this part -->
"Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope of failures, all you’ve known
remember all the sadness and frustration
and let it go
Let it go... ohh.. ohhhhh"
anyway this song is my favorite too.

 

I agree with everything you said! I've only been a member for about 12 hours or so on LPA, but this site is amazing. I also feel the sense of pride that you are talking about. I'm guessing most of us on here have been fans since Hybrid Theory, and I'm so proud of the growth that they have made while still sounding like a Linkin Park album. Freaking incredible. Best album I've ever heard.

 

Best Linkin Park album ever, period.

 

Thanks. Awesome lyrics!

 

By the way...just wondering how they will play this live? LoL

The CD is so amazing and so full of things going on that I´m really curious to see this live...the first taste will be on sunday at VMA´s
