Karnivool - Sky Machine Lyrics

This is more Birds Of Tokyo than Karnivool

I always figured if our ANCIENT ALIEN ANCESTORS were to ARRIVE they would be ROCKIN KARNIVOOL

Such a great track

Such a good track and vibe

If there is a live version of this -- point me to it. It must be fucking amazing.

A beautifully deep and complex song that is easily the best on the album. I love this.

Best song of Karnivool. Hands down.

This band deserves A LOT more views....

Whoever doesn't like Asymmetry are fucking missing out.

3:52 - 5:12 is perfection

Absolutely phenomenal.

I've been in a search for months for songs even remotely like this - the guitar, drums, and lyrics are just so powerful, but I've yet to find something that comes close. Anyone have any recommendations of stuff that comes to this level of awesome, along this same vein? Obviously stuff like Tool is up there, with Perfect Circle and all that, but maybe some other bands that fewer people know about?

Nothing compares to Karnivool, especially tracks like this, but the closest comparison is the 'British Karnivool' Tesseract: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJKsmaGtrjo

Maybe Reflection by Tool

Rishloo is what you are looking

The last album by Rishloo is powerful stuff

Porcupine Tree is what you are looking for. Thank me later...

best song on this album 😉

Easily the best song they've written. It may not be the most catchy, but jesus christ listen to the depth. Every instrument knows it's place exactly and doesn't overstep, the lyrics are brilliant. Fucking incredible music.

So true. The instruments have a timely rise and fall, coinciding with the lyrics. It's definitely incredible.

imho, Alpha Omega is better. I could watch the live video all day long, everyday. Lyrically and musically, both are amazing, I just feel Alpha Omega connects to something deeper in my soul

Definitely catchy after the 100 millionth listen!

What is a person before the view of whole world, but a speck of dust. Now what is a person before the Holy God who created the world? You are nothing, yet God found you worthy to die for. Without believing Jesus is God means you know not God. Sin brings death. the wages of sin are death the Word says. The only thing to fix our separation from God through sin is the blood of a sacrifice, and that sacrifice has to be perfect or the payment isn't permanent. since we are all born in sin, no one meets that standard. Clearly since the only one to meet God's standard is God, God goes Himself as Jesus.  God became a man, Jesus Christ, and lived the sinless life we couldn't. He willingly took all the wrath of God that was met to be poured on us for all the evil that we are, and He bore it. He took the full force of God's punishment, becoming our sin and dying with it. Because a perfect sacrifice was the only way to pay a debt for a people as sinful as we are. Someone had to die, so he did it Himself. Cause He wanted us back for Himself. He became payment for a people who could not redeem themselves. Then He rose again, defeating death and the grave. That meant the redemption was guaranteed, For all who believe.  We serve a living God who paid our debt. All you have to do to be declared innocent is Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. That His death was enough to pay the penalty for your sins and live a lifestyle of repentance. Which means to change one's mind. To turn away from sin, God makes you a new man in Christ, He is the one who regenerates your person to make you a New Creature. With a new heart and new mind who hates to do sin, and to displease God. When we do sin, which we all do, we will repent and ask God for His mercy and Grace to help us to never do it again.God is real, and whether you believe in Him or not, you will stand before Him. It comes down to you believe on Jesus or you die and go to hell. There's no way around it and no way to sugarcoat it for you. It's one or the other. You see, Jesus had to be God or nobody is saved.

I love that one! You should check out The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, it's even better! Being that you have enough time on your hands to give that detailed of an explanation in the comments section of a youtube video, you probably have plenty of time to read a new book! Enjoy :)

I follow your reasoning, but how do you come by the conclusion that only the Christian god is the answer to the creation of this world and life as we know it? I think you're an intelligent person and I gladly await what you have to say on this matter.

And here's me thinking it's not the 11rh century any more. Fuck off with your retarded medieval superstitious bullshit, princess...

ham-fistedly using science to justify theology while simultaneously rejecting science...

Evolution may be a story, but one justified by evidence and the best theories we have to make sense of our existence. Evolution is a theory and it has held the test of time. The only reason the Bible is still around is because it contains ideas that go beyond our experience, and because we can't "test it" that's used as justification that we have insufficient evidence to prove it false. If you want to base your worldview on such metaphysical speculation, go for it. The rest of us will base ours on evidence.

My fave!

saw you guys with parkway yesterday! fucking amazing performance!! can't wait to see you guys next time

I keep staring at the sky
I've been waiting for some time
So out of touch
So out of mind
I can feel you there, I won't lie
We're all just kids
We're all good liars
Good liars
Please try to understand
There is no great plan
We have no idea
What lies beyond our reach
Try to understand
There is no great plan
We will cross the line
With an open mind
Show me what it is
Hush my desires
Set me on fire
Please try to understand
There is no great plan
We have cast our lies
To the open skies
Try to understand
We've another plan
We have crossed the line
With an open mind
We have crossed that line
You're new to me
And I believe
You have to be
The one we need
Soon you will see it with all
Our reasons for trying to justify
We hold the fate of the world
The dearly departed
They won't make a sound
They won't make a sound
You are the same as us all
Blood running in our veins
Few have the heart of a brave,
Now will you run or stay?
We hide away our vicious things
Don't let them out
Even the ones that we don't see
Who are always there
You are the salt of all
You are the salt of the same blood running in our veins
Few have the heart of the brave
Now, will you run or stay?
We hide away our vicious things
Don't let them out
Even the ones that we don't see
Who are always there
You're new to me
And I believe
You have to be
The one we need
Take me with you on your sky machine
(Please try to understand, there is no great plan)
I'm dying to know
(We have cast our lies to the open skies)
Way out far from what it is we see
(Try to understand, we've another plan
We have crossed the line with an open mind)
Soon you will see it with all
Our reasons for trying to justify
We hold the fate of the world
The dearly departed
They won't make a sound
They won't make a sound

This takes me to another world. Absolutely gorgeous. The lyrics and music together are like a profound poetry.

simply...art

Esta canción, seduce al escucharla.

This song reminds me that my mom and dad are constantly with me even if I can't see or touch them, watching their loved ones from the other side. I miss and love them so much.

Don't want to bum you out, but the lyrics are pretty much the opposite.
"Please try to understand, there is no great plan"
"The dearly departed they won't make a sound"

Yes I understood that part thanks. Music is what the listener makes it

Sounds a lot like Riverside and Lunatic Soul.. Great stuff!

Definitely, it also reminds me a lot of Collecting Space by Steven Wilson

@Ivan Malek yep, I definitely hear that as well. A bit of a porcupine tree influence but still being themselves
 

+clw8309 i only know Indukti :D at 4mins of Alpha Omega the guitar solo part is so like Indukti. not just for me. (Indukti has the same singer as Riverside - Mariusz Duda)

This is song is just something else man. Fucking masterpiece.

I have been saying it! Right on mate

track to hallucinate!

Easily my favourite track on this record. So bloody good.

Long shot but on an off chance, does your name come from To Tame the Temporal Shrew by Rishloo?

Pls respond

CHECK OUT MY COVER OF COTE BY KARNIVOOL I JUST POSTED ON MY CHANNEL....YOU'LL LIKE IT!

wow you tube sucks you cant reply to people now unless they let you thats stupid...
Im gonna report as spam or abuse every comment i cant reply too :P

@casey Cool, false reports.

+null father Well, that comment was over a year ago.

+casey Some newer comments that applies to, but for most old comments it was caused when YouTube changed the comment system but messed it up slightly so you could only reply to the new ones. I'm not sure why they haven't fixed that in over two years but I'm sure there is some reason for it

Probably my favorite from the album, but hard to say....right?

Saw them play this live last night in London... they had the drummer from Tesseract play along with Karnivool's drummer. Fucking amazing!

@Demari Guy is nearly unisex these days.

Fuuuuuuuuuck you should have filmed that. Jay Postones and Steve Judd are both fucking MONSTERS on the kit. 

My God that happened?! AND THE STAGE DID NOT EXPLODE!?!

Fuck, I'm jelly

@MJKTool https://youtu.be/BsQzJGd5JbY

I hate not being able to reply to certain ones. I wish the controllers would stop messing with the good things. I love Bence's words and so agree, "after you hear the ending, you realize this is amasterpiece"  Thanks to my Angel Warrior for sharing this masterpiece.  Awesome.   

The drums of this song is simply amazing

We hide our vicious things....don't let them oooouuuut..... gets me every damn time!

I must have listened to this album 20 times, and this song gets me every time. I hear something new on every fresh listen.

YOU'RE NEEEW TO MEEEEEE
AND iiiIIII BELIEVE
YOUUUU HAVE TO BEEE
THE ooOONNEEE WE NEEED

take me with you on the sky machine...chills

I don't compare this album with the others, all are different and with his own personality, I like this band since PERSONA E.P and still lovin'g today =)

This fucking song has been stuck on my head for well over a week now. Possibly one of their most inconspicuous at start yet soul crushingly beautiful as it unfolds song ever. Fucking A.

Beautiful. Greets from italy

good voice ,and instruments

best song on the album. song is a master-piece

this is the best 480p i've ever heard :D almost like true HD. btw great song!

the best homework music

The best song on this album by far!

This song takes me to a place I like to go...

"We're all just kids, we're all good liars."
God damn it, they've done it again.

I didn't like it that much at first .. By fourth listen , I flopped my cock out of my pants and wanked to this joyous work of musical genius.

With this song, I think of the LIMBO game :)

Totally agree, man. Beautiful, epic song.

karnivool and trevor hall. bring peace to this world

It took me some time to like it but then everything became clear.

Agreed, totally and unfortunately. :(

This album has been bothering me for a while. I want to like it, but it's not so great. I've been here before with other bands. The same thing happened to me with Tool's Lateralus. It always seems to get better with every listen, but this one is the one. Some other songs on this album are good, I can't deny that, but this song is the one. I believe I read on here a week or so ago that his was this album's "Deadman". This quote is very extremely true. This is, by far, the best song on this album.

God I wish I was in this band.

This song is amazing.

hell yes!!

I can't stop listening to this song. I love Karnivool - this is instantly one of my favorites not just of theirs, but ever... I can't wait until they tour North America again :)

this song is amazing

after you hear the ending, you realize this is amasterpiece
