I should be ashamed for what you’ve done to me
It’s only happened because I let it be
But no more
You are not wrong, you who believe
Your will defines your destiny
But if you act in selfish fear
Then truth means nothing
You are not wrong if you perceive
The message veiled in mystery
But if we bury what we dream
We’re left with what remains
There is no vision that we surrender
Breathless time can take no prisoners
My avatar, I call you to return
And the cycle is fulfilled
I’m taking back my love, taking back my pride
Taking back my dreams and my life
This is the ground I will defend
On rage of angels bears the end
I’m taking back my hope, taking back my goals
Taking back my memories and my soul
This brand is forged to my crusade
Quicksilver, the future belongs to the brave
(The future belongs to the brave…)
You are not wrong if you believe
Perception works its alchemy
And I become the phoenix once again
Transforming destiny
We brace before the fates descending
With resolution never ending
As Nike stands, her shield before me
Sophia guide my hand
There is no wisdom that we surrender
Breathless time can take no prisoners
My avatar, I call you to return
The cycle is fulfilled
I’m taking back my love, taking back my pride
Taking back my dreams and my life
This is the ground I will defend
On rage of angels comes again
I’m taking back my hope, taking back my goals
Taking back my memories and my soul
This sword is forged to my crusade
Quicksilver, the future belongs to the brave
(Quicksilver…)
I feel the wishfire burning cold
Black wings to fill the sky unfold
And nothing takes from God his storm
See the angels' eyes transform
I’m taking back my love, taking back my pride
Taking back my dreams and my life
This is the ground I will defend
On rage of angels bears the end
I’m taking back my hope, taking back my goals
Taking back my memories and my soul
This brand is forged to my crusade
Quicksilver, the future belongs to the brave
I’m taking back my love, taking back my pride
Taking back my dreams and my life
This is the ground I will defend
On rage of angels bears the end
I’m taking back my hope, taking back my goals
Taking back my memories and my soul
This brand is forged to my crusade
Quicksilver, the future belongs to the brave
I don't understand the comments saying this video is cheesy. If you don't like the actual music video, watch a lyrics scroller. I think the video is great for what it contributes to the song. It's not about making a standard cool music video with CXS IMO. The point in anything Rogue has a hand in is in showing the power of WILL and our ability to rise above. He does this by showing his own will and that takes guts. To just come online and say the video isn't good, you may as well say the very things that are considered quality in the music aren't as important when represented visually.
To me they are one and the same, intrinsically.
Not my ONLY favorite line that he's ever written, but definitely in the top three, "The future belongs to the brave..." can't beat that with a bat... :-D
for 6 years I was fighting a demon that trying to destroy my health and at my weakest moments with what little energy I had, this song gave me the strength to fight and take back what cancer was trying hard to take away from me.
The first time I saw this vid, I thought to myself, "lol, these guys suck." Fast forward three weeks later, I watch this video at least once a day, then I go watch "Birthday"
Definitely a song for Alchemists and not; alike. The magic of this song is astounding. The reassurance to all magi that they are not alone, nor have they ever been or ever will be.
"...Perception works it's alchemy..."
Thank CXS for such a strong and important message with "Quicksilver".
