Gary Numan - Ancients Lyrics
All I know is you're not with me,
Like me.
Some can shine,
Some can fly,
Some are ancient.
Some are wise,
Some are strong,
Some are everything
You could dream of.
Some are clouds,
Some are rain,
Float like angel wings
Some can sing
Songs of Gods,
Words so beautiful
They fall like raindrops.
But none are like me,
All I know is you're not with me,
Like me.
Some will cry,
Cry for you,
Take your pain away
When you're sleeping.
Some will die,
In your name,
Give their soul to you
For safe keeping.
All I know is your not with me,
Like me.

some can shine some can fly some are wise some are strong 💪 some are everything you can dream of
I just found this and ...wow what a song 🎶 Another amazing piece of music by Gary
all I know is your not with me some can shine some can fly
come to. paddock wood war and peace. show in Kent
I don’t know why he doesn’t play live at. air shows
We are a group of music lovers nerding out over our favorite songs that fall under a new theme each day. Come show us what you got! Today’s theme is “Ancient”. https://www.facebook.com/groups/SupercordsMusicClub/
Only Gery has made such works...that could pass for prayers as much as pieces of music...
So much admiration for him...I wish he'd get in bed with Michael Cretu... xD
Wonderful...
but I am with you. like me. with you.
Another masterpiece!!!
Some lines remind me of The Dead Poets Society... ^__^
I've come to the conclusion most of Gary's stuff is pretty darn lame, but when he has made quality music it is really good. This is one of his boring, lame songs, imho. Really no talent needed to write or sing this song. No disrespect.
This song can still give me chills down my neck.
How could someone dislike this
Muito James Bond! ❤
All I know is you're not with me,
Like me.
All I know...
You're not with me.
Some can shine,
Some can fly,
Some are glorious,
Some are ancient.
Some are wise,
Some are strong,
Some are everything
You could dream of.
Some are clouds,
Some are rain,
Float like angel wings
On an ocean.
Some can sing
Songs of Gods,
Words so beautiful
They fall like raindrops.
Fall like raindrops.
Fall like raindrops.
But none are like me,
All I know is you're not with me,
Like me.
All I know is you're not with me.
All I know is you're not with me,
Like me.
All I know is you're not with me.
Some will cry,
Cry for you,
Take your pain away
When you're sleeping.
Some will die,
In your name,
Give their soul to you
For safe keeping.
All I know is you're not with me,
Like me.
All I know...
All I know is that you're not with me,
Like me. (x3)
All I know is that you're not with me.
You're not with me. (x4)
Fuck me this is fantastic.
This song is to all the ones who r not here anymore. Loved ones r with the ancients in the halls of valhalla.
okay that's it I'm buying all his albums
...and why hasn't tool begged him to front them???
This song lends itself to being left alone on another planet
Masterpiece. Very emotional.
AM so getting back into Numan these days, and keep finding gems like this........
A beast !!!!!!!👹
Gary Numan; the most under-rated artist of our time. He's like fine wine now, he just gets better with age. Go another 30 years Gazza!!
Sounds like he is talking to jesus
I'd lose it if I see him perform this song live.
All I know is you're not with me,
Like me.
Some can shine,
Some can fly,
Some are glorious,
Some are ancient.
Some are wise,
Some are strong,
Some are everything
You could dream of.
Some are clouds,
Some are rain,
Float like angel wings
On an ocean.
Some can sing
Songs of Gods,
Words so beautiful
They fall like raindrops.
But none are like me,
All I know is you're not with me,
Like me.
Some will cry,
Cry for you,
Take your pain away
When you're sleeping.
Some will die,
In your name,
Give their soul to you
For safe keeping.
All I know is your not with me,
Like me.
should be used for the vikings series deffo xxxx
God i hate this new crap. I don't have time to even listen to this self wallowing crap.
Go and listen to Splinter.
Potwheelz then FACK offff
If Cole Morgan were a dinosaur? They would name him the Suckalottacockasoreass!! Emphasis on the sore ass!
Potwheelz if you hate this so called 'new crap' why are you here? Do tell
Potwheelz any way, I have much better things to do than waste my time talking to low life scum like you. Keep fucking up your life and let us get on with ours 👍
If they ever make a movie of the Zelda game, look no further for an opening soundtrack.
The meaning of the song is lost on so many people.....
this should be the next james bond theme. epic song.
awesome
This song is screaming to be a James Bond theme song!!! God, I love it!!!! :-)
Beautiful track .....
Top song
I love this song, beautiful words - very poignant!!! xxxxxxxxx
-Some are loud -Some are shy -Some are beautiful
-Some are wary
-Some are good -Some are Bad
-Some transpire to corrupt
-Some are distant
-Some are detached
-Some glimpse mismatched World
-Some can sing
-Songs of gods
-World so distant
-Their like luminous ocean
All I know is you are not with me....:-(
Beautiful song. Crying out to be used in a film
too much intro....
Wouldn't Gary Numan belong amidst thee Venerable Ancients, as Their secret and sacred Invokator ? Seems so ...
WOW.YES an invoker..crazy ai spellchecker cant recognize.lol.the word invoke checks out.lol.like your comment here today cheer.
trent is and always be a fan of gary newman, gary was his influence so no argument there, if anything trent has learned from gary
agreed avril a bond theme , gary would rock it
most beautiful lyrics ~
Love this song. For some reason, it ended up in a dream I had last night (no shit, swear to God) and I ended up singing it in my head during and when I woke up. Some people have met people from other places, planets...some haven't. Maybe Gary is one of us...
Isn't it about time they asked GN to do a Bond theme?
Wow -- great idea!
I'd prefer him doing a song for the franchise. Sam Smith was just generic and forgettable for me.
Most people remember this great singer from the late 70s and 80s, with great hits and concerts that were incredible. Its great that hes going on, lets hope he keeps going.
"all I know is you're not with me" sounds like religious fundamentalism, Is this song making that point jokingly?
Thought he was an atheist, and very ardent about it? In any case I don't judge.
I dont know for sure, i admit i never seeked out much info about him. I guess I just deduced from his lyrics in his many albums.
@bloodyhell He's strongly atheist. I 'read' the song as looking at 'reality' from a believers POV and then saying 'I don't believe that'. Plus good writers can write about stuff they fundementally disagree with and make it sound like they agree - its one of the skills that define good writers of any kind.
bloody hell, then i love gary even more!
@Rick Ansell i mean rick, then i'll love gary even more.. Considering how Crazy and Pure sounds like, then yes you are right. I love those too btw
One word: Oooooh
+curseofverse1287 yes its Oooooh babe
trent reznor is crude compared to this.
Don't be silly.
Trent has some beautiful songs.
Trent learned from Gary. Then Trent thought Manson. sdfsdfser45454543rcfd
a bit harsh, but your right!
just brilliant
Gorgeous, delicious slice of Numan.

It's kind of funny, and kind of beautiful. Trent Reznor's biggest musical influence in music was Gary Numan. And as time went on, it seems like Numan picked a few things up off of Trent.
absolutely. "pure" for example is like trent.
+Phantomilian You know Trent has to feel so honored!
yes nice symbiosis between Gary and Trent, where they influence each other
check out the other, faster, rockier version of this song known as "All I Know." You're welcome!
Ive been waiting here
Waiting for faith
And the word to fall.
Now the darkness comes
And Ill pray for
The end of us all.
Dont let the dark into me
We killed the angels that warned us of you
Dont let the dark into me
We raised the tower of babel for you
Dont let the dark into me
We let the children build temples for you
Dont let the dark into me
Dont let the vengeance of heaven be you
So pray to me, Im the lords new disease,
Look down into the face of god.
Bow down and cry, Im the black messiah,
The one true divinity.
Kneel before my altar and drink the wine of slaughter,
Who said Id save anyone?
So bleed for me, I need hostility
To lead the faithful and the blind.
Dont let the light shine on me
I am the poison that feeds life to you
Dont let the light shine on me
I am the demon that waits inside you
Dont let the light shine on me
I am the ghost that reminds death of you
Dont let the light shine on me
I am the darkness that crawls into you
All bow down before the dark lord of music
Older than any of you and always a Numanoid.
brilliant song
Just close your eyes and listen relaxing or what makes you feel as if your walking in your own mind great words great music great guy long live NUMANOIDS AND NUMAN
44 has nothing to do with it....
Absolutely...heard it right off
nice i like song
One of my absolute favorites!
lovin this...so beautiful.
Check out The Iceman, from the Warriors album. Fantastic song from its time.
Try Down in the Park, an excellent song from the Replicas album
All of Gary Numan's music is very dark, I've been a fan since the song Cars came out in 79. Most of his music is excellent some of the newer stuff sounds like Nine inch Nails but it's still pretty good. I saw him perform live in 1980 in the Palaidum in Manhattan he was and still is great.
amazing.
Numan = Autistic (Aspergers) genius
This song makes me think of being marooned on a dying alien planet, far off in the cosmos... and like, I'm sitting out by myself in a desert watching the sun fade out in the sky with every passing moment, and the natives are just running around in a panic while I sit there and just kind of watching it all.
Surreal and haunting, indeed.
Classic...amazing...outstanding.... ethereal,... haunting....dark....mysterious.......threatening....soulful. Fantastic. Been a fan since 1978.
FKN grouse!
So sorry for you the best is gone,what do you do....
good music always survives !
It's a great shame he has never had the courage to just shave his head & ditch that dead cat on his head.
Lmao... I love him and you're so right
I would simply say. Gary Numan, leave it at that...
Love this song and he still rocks. ez
Sorry I feel I need to say this: Is it just me or does anyone else out there reckon Maynard James Keenan from Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, sound pretty heavily influenced by Numan's vocals here? Actually, who is singing here please? (Excuse my ignorance hehe.)
Numan = LEGEND!!
love this song..;ove this album..love it, love it, love it...nuff said :)
Sweetly dark!
wow,trent is an extension of numan. gary numan has evolved. great stuff, there is hope for music
Happy 54th Birthday Gary Numan! i looooooooooooooove this song!!!!!!!!
This could easily be used in a lot of Hollywood movie soundtracks. A great and underestimated , under praised recording by Numan.
I can't stop listening to it..this inspires me to the core! BEAUTIFUL!!!
@tuxjade I must have missed something, Gary has to be older than me?
repeat after me : I'm a french guy and I like and often heard some songs of Gary Numan, prince of the coldwave, really !!!!! Thank you for all and good night now ;-)
i agree with the comments about numan been underestimated ......he fucking rocks!!!!
Beautiful song. Thanks for uploading this,found it by accident, cant stop listening to it
don't be sad, it's too late. 22 years ago already.
thinking of you great words.be good Sonia
I hate this "underrated" word. I don't give a /you know what/ about other people underrating the bands and the music I like. The only thing t hat happens is that people who underrate my favs are sadly underrated by me.
I rate my stuff, I love my stuff, I love Garys music. That's what counts.
@ohhaithartishelen Helen you will grow to learn that truly great music withstands genres / times/ people great music is always great no matter what day or age.It is wonderful that you are deep enough to see the beauty of something from a different beginning than yours.. I love you soul keep growing.
