Machine Head
Screaming at the Sun
[Verse 1]
You'll find me screaming at the sun
It singes my eyes
The plan I devise
In this chess game to shatter the crook
And now the queen takes the rook
You think that you can read me like a book
But you mistook the pushback
Skull crack, now I take the pawn
The pattern's sliding off
And now the bishop's gone
Woe this land
It bares my hand
Of the final command
[Chorus]
They see you blinded us
Reminded us of all that's ugly
And if you let it in
The predator will leave you bloody
[Verse 2]
So, take a look into my eyes
And sharpen your gaze
Sharpen the blades
'Cause the stakes have been raised
Kiss the ring
And now the knight takes the king
Now the rank and file is to bring
The sacrificing, upside, downside
Give me all your guns
I'm fucking crazy
Oh, my mind is lost or won?
Hold your breath
These wounds are fresh
Of this mate that I check
[Chorus]
They see you blinded us
Reminded us of all that's ugly
And if you let it in
The predator will leave you bloody
[Bridge]
So, we close
Off the din outside the window
No, we won't
Normalize the tyrannizing
You'll find me screaming at the sun
Until my soul dies
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll find me screaming now
[Chorus]
They see you blinded us
Reminded us of all that's ugly
