Ave Maria lyrics - Chris Cornell (feat. Eleven)
Ave Maria Maiden mild
O listen to a maiden's prayer
For thou can't hear amid the wild
Tis thou, tis thou can't save amid despair
We slumber safely 'til the morrow
Tho' we, by men, outcast, reviled
O maiden see a maiden's sorrow
O mother, hear a suppliant child
Ave Maria
Ave Maria Undefiled
The flinty couch whereon we're sleeping
Shall seem with down of eider piled
If thou above, sweet, watch our keeping
The murky cavern's air's so heavy
Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled
O maiden hear a maiden's pleading
O mother, hear a suppliant child
Ave Maria
Ave Maria Stainless styled
O fiends of air and earth the essence
From this their wonted haunt exiled
Shall flee before thy holy presence
We bow beneath our care so laden
To thy dear guidance reconciled
Then hear, o maiden, simple maiden
And for a father hear a child
Ave Maria
Mission 2000 lyrics - Chris Cornell (from "M:I-2" soundtrack)
Pulled through you and drowning in your swirl
Unfolding in your will
I'm on a mission now
Smoldering down inside your mood
And fanning your eyes
I'm on a mission now
I'm gonna dive through your crying and sleep in your hair
Rise from your ashes and kneel in your prayers
Tear all your temples down
(Yeah) I'm on a mission now, I'm on a mission now
(Hey) I'm on a mission now, I'm on a mission now
Hah
Pulled through you and drowning in your swirl
Unfolding in your will
I'm on a mission now
I'm gonna glide on the winds of your breathing
Writhe in your calm and provide your release
Weave into your wanting and needing
And reside in the heart of your strongest beliefs
Tear all our temples down
Oh, I'm on a mission now
I'm on a mission now
And I have nothing, but then
The have is not as good as the want
I have nothing, but then
The have is not as good as the want, oh
I'm on a mission now
I'm on a mission now, I'm on a mission now
I'm on a mission now, I'm on a mission now
I'm on a mission now
I'm on a mission now, I'm on a mission now, ow
The Promise lyrics - Chris Cornell
If I had nothing to my name
But photographs of you
Rescued from the flame
That is all I would ever need
As long as I can read
What's written on your face
The strength that shines
Behind your eyes
The hope and light
That will never die
And one promise you made
One promise that always remains
No matter the price
A promise to survive
Persevere and thrive
As we've always done
And you said
"The poison in a kiss
Is the lie upon the lips"
Truer words were never shared
When I feel
Like lies are all I hear
I pull my memories near
The one thing they can't take
And one promise you made
One promise that always remains
No matter the price
A promise to survive
Persevere and thrive
As we've always done
The books still open on the table
The bells still ringing in the air
The dreams still clinging to the pillow
The songs still singing in a prayer
Now my soul
Is stretching through the roots
To memories of you
Back through time and space
To carry home
The faces and the names
And photographs of you
Rescued from the flames
One promise you made
One promise that always remains
No matter the price
A promise to survive
Persevere and thrive
And dare to rise once more
A promise to survive
Persevere and thrive
And fill the world with life
As we've always done
When Bad Does Good lyrics - Chris Cornell
Standing beside an open grave
Your fate decided, your life erased
Your final hour has come today
Lit by the fire of your temples burning
You are a child and so was I
Now you're a hunter but I am a lion
And I will cut you down like I've done so many times
But sometimes bad can do some good
Sometimes bad can do some good
Sometimes bad can do some good
And I heard you say that flesh sells by the pound
When blood is raining down it cuts a deep river
And I'm diving
Now shine a light down onto the earth
And shake this gold dust out, out of the dirt
No saints beside me and no prayers to guide me
Sometimes bad can do some good
Bad can do some good
Sometimes bad can do some good
(Rain down, heaven is falling)
I've chosen a side and I will show no pity
(Rain down, heaven is falling)
And spare no lives
For those who try me
(Rain down, heaven is falling)
Let it be understood
Sometimes bad can do some good
(Rain down, heaven is falling)
Sometimes bad can do some good
(Rain down, heaven is falling)
Sometimes bad can do some good
You Never Knew My Mind lyrics - Chris Cornell
I know you feel the way I change
But you can't change the way I feel
Sometimes I'm a stranger to you
One of a kind
And I think some way you'll make it
Though you don't know how to take it
Sometimes you're a stranger to me
One of a kind
There were times of lots of laughter
And you felt you understood
We were carefree, open, and honest
Lovin', easy, kind, and true
And I suppose you never doubted
That we were altogether fine
You never really knew my mind
You never really knew my mind
My silence holds the secrets find
I answer but don't answer
You did not see me well enough
To recognize the signs
You didn't want to notice
Or know that it was over
I did not see you well enough
To recognize the signs
And there were times of lots of laughter
And you felt you understood
We were carefree, open, and honest
Lovin', easy, kind, and true
And I suppose you never doubted
That we were altogether fine
Then you saw the changes painfully
And you knew
You never really knew my mind
And I suppose you never doubted
That we were altogether fine
Sometimes I'm a stranger to you
Sometimes you're a stranger to me
Sometimes, maybe all the time
You never really knew my mind
I never really knew your mind
