Guns of Summer Lyrics
If this is my last chance, keep me
I don't need your jokes
You're better off without the misunderstanding
If I am displeasing, then leave me
a reason to what I want
Would I truly care if we truly mean nothing?
Oh, have we been fed crazy
or will the curtains save me
from my final pun?
No one will save us
You think that somebody cares
why the water is rising up?
Let the cleansing begin
Mother will they ever thank you?
Instead we hide behind these foolish lies
Ambitions have told us otherwise
Cold as winter's guns of summer
Point and watch them run
Summer's will and debris in their sun
This is your last chance, will you give up?
But in my turning towards the new
it is regarded in this old way
Will we face the truth or suffer again?
Now we have to break in the shower of souls
Rain down fire, burn us all!
No one will save us
Do you think that somebody cares
why the water is rising up?
Let the cleansing begin
Mother will they ever thank you?
Instead we hide behind these foolish lies
Magicians have told us other wise
Cold as winter's guns of summer
Point and watch them run
Summer's will and debris in their sun
This is your last chance, will you give up?
Cold as winter's guns of summer
Point and watch them run
Summer's will and debris in their sun
This is your last chance, will you give and run?
Summer's will and debris in their sun?
This is your last chance, this is your last chance
(Cold as winter's guns) This is your last chance, will you give?
(Cold as winter's guns) This is your last chance, will you?
(Cold, cold) This is your last chance, will you give?
(as winter's guns) This is your last chance, will you?
I don't need your jokes
You're better off without the misunderstanding
If I am displeasing, then leave me
a reason to what I want
Would I truly care if we truly mean nothing?
or will the curtains save me
from my final pun?

To me, the part with the question marks sounds like:
"Allowing, as it breaks, in the shower of our song."
But I'm not quite sure what that would mean. :) Also, in place of "soldiers," I hear "summers"/"summer's." It's always hard to tell with Claudio.
If this is my last chance, keep me I don't need your jokes
will the curtains save me? from my final call
Point/Wait/Boy and watch them run Summer's\Soldiers willing to breathe in her sun This is your last chance, will you give up?
But in our turning towards the new and disregarded then this old way Will we face the truth or suffer again? ??? as it breaks in shower us all Rain down fire and burn us all
Just my guesses
OH! Ambition has told us otherwise, i think instead of "Unless they have told us other wise"
This song seems to be absolutely filled with Tool references. A lot of the riffs have a Tool feeling to them, and the solo especially - it sounds very similar to Sober. And the lyrics seem to reference the song Aenema - "You think somebody cares why the water is rising up? Let the cleansing begin. Mother will they ever thank you?" (Tool's song Aenema is about California falling into the Pacific Ocean and also refers to "Mother" Nature ["Mom, please flush it all away"]. And of course, it should be noted that Year of the Black Rainbow was produced by Joe Baressi, who mixed Tool's last album. I love how Claudio ties in references to other artists and songs in subtle ways. Like how the keyboards in When Skeletons Live totally sound like Fleetwood Mac. Year of the Black Rainbow is an amazing album...
maybe regarding the priests who were zombified?
I'm 90% sure he says "Summers willing debris, in her sun"
It makes sense. If you've seen the cover of the book, it's pretty much a war/protest scene. It also goes with the rest of the lyrics.
200% sure its:
If this is my last chance keep it I dont need your jokes I'm better off without the misunderstanding
95% sure after that its
If I have this reason to lead me
And unsure but I think the last line might be:
Would I truely care if you truely mean nothing
Cant understand the line between however.
Crap and forgot:
Its definitely "Rain down fire and burn us all" not our souls.

Why do I keep forgetting stuff. UGH.
"Oh have you made me crazy Or will the curtain(s) save me From my final call"
Thank you. This one, and When Skeletons Live are the two I had the most trouble with deciphering the lyrics from.
