Creed
Creed : Weathered (2001)

1. Bullets
Walking around I hear the earth seeking relief
I'm trying to find a reason to live
But the mindless clutter my path
Oh these thorns in my side
I know I have something free
I have something so alive
I think they shoot 'cause they want it
I feel forces all around me
Come on raise your head
Those who hide behind the shadows
Live with all that's dead
Look at me
I'm trying to find a reason to live
But the mindless clutter my path
Oh these thorns in my side
I know I have something free
I have something so alive
I think they shoot 'cause they want it
I feel forces all around me
Come on raise your head
Those who hide behind the shadows
Live with all that's dead
Look at me
2. Freedom fighter
The mouths of envious
Always find another door
While at the gates of paradise they
beat us down some more
But our mission's set in stone
'Cause the writing's on the wall
I'll scream it from the mountain tops
Pride comes before a fall
So many thoughts to share
All this energy to give
Unlike those who hide the truth
I tell it like it is
If the truth will set you free
I feel sorry for your soul
Can't you hear the ringing 'cause
For you the bell tolls
I'm just a freedom fighter
No remorse
Raging on in holy war
Soon there'll come a day
When you're face to face with me
Face to face with me
Can't you hear us coming ?
People marching all around
Can't you see we're coming ?
Close your eyes it's over now
Can't you hear us coming ?
The fight has only just begun
Can't you see we're coming ?
I'm just a freedom fighter
No remorse
Raging on in holy war
Soon there'll come a day
When you're face to face with me
Face to face with me
Always find another door
While at the gates of paradise they
beat us down some more
But our mission's set in stone
'Cause the writing's on the wall
I'll scream it from the mountain tops
Pride comes before a fall
So many thoughts to share
All this energy to give
Unlike those who hide the truth
I tell it like it is
If the truth will set you free
I feel sorry for your soul
Can't you hear the ringing 'cause
For you the bell tolls
I'm just a freedom fighter
No remorse
Raging on in holy war
Soon there'll come a day
When you're face to face with me
Face to face with me
Can't you hear us coming ?
People marching all around
Can't you see we're coming ?
Close your eyes it's over now
Can't you hear us coming ?
The fight has only just begun
Can't you see we're coming ?
I'm just a freedom fighter
No remorse
Raging on in holy war
Soon there'll come a day
When you're face to face with me
Face to face with me
3. Who's got my back ?
Run... hide
All that was sacred to us
Sacred to us
See the signs
The covenant has been broken
By mankind
Leaving us with no shoulder
All that was sacred to us
Sacred to us
See the signs
The covenant has been broken
By mankind
Leaving us with no shoulder
4. Signs
This is not about age
Time served on the earth
doesn't mean you grow in mind
This is not about God
Spiritual insinuations seem
to shock our nation
Come with me I'm fading
underneath the lights
Come with me
Come with me
Come with me now
This is not about race
It's a decision to stop the
division in your life
This is not about sex
We all know sex sells and
the whole world is buying
Come with me I'm fading
underneath the lights
Come with me
Come with me
Come with me now
Can't you see the signs ?
See the signs now
Can't you see them ?
See the signs
You see them
All the signs we see them
Can't you see them ?
Time served on the earth
doesn't mean you grow in mind
This is not about God
Spiritual insinuations seem
to shock our nation
Come with me I'm fading
underneath the lights
Come with me
Come with me
Come with me now
This is not about race
It's a decision to stop the
division in your life
This is not about sex
We all know sex sells and
the whole world is buying
Come with me I'm fading
underneath the lights
Come with me
Come with me
Come with me now
Can't you see the signs ?
See the signs now
Can't you see them ?
See the signs
You see them
All the signs we see them
Can't you see them ?
5. One last breath
Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding on to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
I'm looking down now that it's over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out heaven save me
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there's something left for me
So please come stay with me
'Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me
For you and me
For you and me
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
I'm holding on to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
I'm looking down now that it's over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out heaven save me
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there's something left for me
So please come stay with me
'Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me
For you and me
For you and me
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
6. My sacrifice
Hello my friend we meet again
It's been a while where should
We begin
It's been a while where should
We begin
7. Stand here with me
You always reached out to me and
Helped me believe
All those memories we share
I will cherish every one of them
The truth of it is there's a right way to live
And you showed me
So now you live on in the words of a song
You're a melody
You stand here with me now
Just when fear blinded me
You taught me to dream
I'll give you everything I am
And still fall short of
What you've done for me
In this life that I live
I hope I can give love unselfishly
I've learned the world is bigger than me
You're my daily dose of reality
You stand here with me now
On and on we sing
On and on we sing this song
'Cause you stand here with me
Helped me believe
All those memories we share
I will cherish every one of them
The truth of it is there's a right way to live
And you showed me
So now you live on in the words of a song
You're a melody
You stand here with me now
Just when fear blinded me
You taught me to dream
I'll give you everything I am
And still fall short of
What you've done for me
In this life that I live
I hope I can give love unselfishly
I've learned the world is bigger than me
You're my daily dose of reality
You stand here with me now
On and on we sing
On and on we sing this song
'Cause you stand here with me
8. Weathered
I lie awake on a long, dark night
I can't seem to tame my mind
Slings and arrows are killing me inside
Maybe I can't accept the life that's mine
No I can't accept the life that's mine
Simple living is my desperate cry
Been trading love with indifference
Yeah it suits me just fine
I try to hold on but I'm calloused to the bone
Maybe that's why I feel alone
Maybe that's why I feel so alone
Me
I can't seem to tame my mind
Slings and arrows are killing me inside
Maybe I can't accept the life that's mine
No I can't accept the life that's mine
Simple living is my desperate cry
Been trading love with indifference
Yeah it suits me just fine
I try to hold on but I'm calloused to the bone
Maybe that's why I feel alone
Maybe that's why I feel so alone
Me
9. Hide
To what do I owe this gift my friend ?
My life, my love, my soul ?
I've been dancing with the devil
Way too long
And it's making me grow old
Making me grow old
Let's leave
My life, my love, my soul ?
I've been dancing with the devil
Way too long
And it's making me grow old
Making me grow old
Let's leave
10. Don't stop dancing
At times life is wicked and I just can't see the light
A silver lining sometimes isn't enough
To make some wrongs seem right
Whatever life brings
I've been through everything
And now I'm on my knees again
But I know I must go on
Although I hurt I must be strong
Because inside I know that many
Feel this way
Children don't stop dancing
Believe you can fly
Away... away
At times life's unfair and you know it's plain to see
Hey God I know I'm just a dot in this world
Have you forgot about me ?
Whatever life brings
I've been through everything
And now I'm on my knees again
But I know I must go on
Although I hurt I must be strong
Because inside I know that many
Feel this way
Am I hiding in the shadows ?
Forget the pain and forget the sorrows
But I know I must go on
Although I hurt I must be strong
Because inside I know that many
Feel this way
Children don't stop dancing
Believe you can fly
Away... away
Am I hiding in the shadows ?
Are we hiding in the shadows ?
A silver lining sometimes isn't enough
To make some wrongs seem right
Whatever life brings
I've been through everything
And now I'm on my knees again
But I know I must go on
Although I hurt I must be strong
Because inside I know that many
Feel this way
Children don't stop dancing
Believe you can fly
Away... away
At times life's unfair and you know it's plain to see
Hey God I know I'm just a dot in this world
Have you forgot about me ?
Whatever life brings
I've been through everything
And now I'm on my knees again
But I know I must go on
Although I hurt I must be strong
Because inside I know that many
Feel this way
Am I hiding in the shadows ?
Forget the pain and forget the sorrows
But I know I must go on
Although I hurt I must be strong
Because inside I know that many
Feel this way
Children don't stop dancing
Believe you can fly
Away... away
Am I hiding in the shadows ?
Are we hiding in the shadows ?
11. Lullaby
Hush my love now don't you cry
Everything will be all right
Close your eyes and drift in dream
Rest in peaceful sleep
If there's one thing I hope
I showed you
Hope I showed you
Just give love to all
Oh my love
Everything will be all right
Close your eyes and drift in dream
Rest in peaceful sleep
If there's one thing I hope
I showed you
Hope I showed you
Just give love to all
Oh my love
