Serj Tankian – Forget Me Knot
Don’t forget me now,
laughing through the tears
For somewhere, somehow,
life becomes the years
You speak to millions,
but you’re talking to no one
Home is the place that
you can’t walk away from
You seek our opinions
but listen to no one
Throw up your hands
and tell that it’s all done
We intend to rise through motion,
speak through silence
And fight ’til the ocean
No more glimmering
hopes or commotions
Our dedications to
each other and devotions
No pretending now,
Your heart is open and you reappear
For somewhere, somehow,
you drop the ball
And you ran with fear
You speak to millions,
but talk to no one
Home is the place
you can’t walk away from
You seek opinions but listen to no one
Throw up your hands and
tell me that it’s all done
We intend to rise through motion,
speak through silence
And fight ’til the ocean
No more glimmering hopes or commotions
Our dedications to
each other and devotions
We intend to speak through peace
Cross the ocean and
wake up in the east
Make Jerusalem home for all creeds
Unsheathe your swords
and take the eagle’s peace
I want you, I need you
I pray that God absolves you
Can’t live this life without you
I’ve cleared the coffin for two
I want you, I need you
I pray that God absolves you
Can’t live this life without you
I’ve cleared the coffin for two
Come, today is another day
Come, your hairs are no longer grey
Come, we’re clearing the runway
There’s no turning back from
the path for the chosen ones
We intend to rise through motion,
speak through silence
And fight ’til the ocean
No more glimmering hopes or commotions
Our dedications to
each other and devotions
We intend to scream through peace
Cross the ocean and
wake up in the east
Make Jerusalem home for all the creeds
Unsheathe your swords
and take the eagle’s peace
