Serj Tankian - Forget Me Knot Lyrics






Don't forget me now, laughing through the tears
For somewhere, somehow, life becomes the years
You speak to millions, but you're talking to no one
Home is the place that you can't walk away from
You seek our opinions but listen to no one
You throw up your hands and tell me that it's all done

We intend to rise through motion, speak through silence
And fight 'til the ocean
No more glimmering hopes or commotions
Our dedication's to each other in devotion

No pretending now, your heart is open and you reappear
For somewhere, somehow, you dropped the ball and you ran with fear
You speak to millions, but talk to no one
Home is the place you can't walk away from
You seek opinions but listen to no one
You throw up your hands and tell me that it's all done

We intend to rise through motion, speak through silence
And fight 'til the ocean
No more glimmering hopes or commotions
Our dedication's to each other in devotion

We intend to speak through peace
Cross the ocean and wake up in the east
Make Jerusalem home for all creeds
Unsheathe your swords and take the eagle's peace

I want you, I need you
I pray that God absolves you
Can't live this life without you
I've cleared the coffin for two

I want you, I need you
I pray that God absolves you
Can't live this life without you
I've cleared the coffin for two

Come, today is another day
Come, your hairs are no longer grey
Come, we're clearing the runway
There's no turning back from the path for the chosen ones

We intend to rise through motion, speak through silence
And fight 'til the ocean
No more glimmering hopes or commotions
Our dedication's to each other in devotion

We intend to scream through peace
Cross the ocean and wake up in the east
Make Jerusalem home for all the creeds
Unsheathe your swords and take the eagle's peace

  10. S.... C....

    he has sharingan

  11. 2.... ....

    Serj, I thank ur music for been there when my world was collapsing. I at least thank it been there when I went hiding. Thank you.

  12. p.... w....

    Im currently working on tabbing this song out
    A) because it's a great ear training and i love doing it occasionally
    B) maybe people could cover this
    I use the instrumental track as well to get a better understanding what's going on with the bass and other sequences that get overpowered by serj's strong voice

    should be finished in couple of weeks
    After all my life doesn't surrounds around this tab
    actually i don't need to justify myself to anyone it's done in the near future

  13. R.... ....

    that song is making m cry sometimes...so beautiful one...its just unbelieveable

  14. T.... D....

    greetings from Germany 😊

  15. T.... D....

    For me its about breaking the habbits to live in citys and system. To get free inside and find home in yourself and mother nature

  16. V.... L....

    our dedication to each other and DEVOTION.....

  17. V.... L....

    our dedication to each other and DEVOTION.....

  18. C.... ....

    3:11 oh my...

    C.... ....

    best part

  19. d.... k....

    This song to me is about the eventual civil war where Europeans will take back Europa

    d.... k....

    You do know that this song was made by an Armenian American who absolutely hates racism and nationalism right?

    d.... k....

    sweet i love serj hes a great ma, And Armenians are bro-tier whats wrong. Do you hate Armenians?

    d.... k....

    what do you mean with "take back" also, serj hate the wars, he lost his grandfather in one

    d.... k....

    I know what you're talking about. I myself am an Armenian, and I mourn Europeans' deaths on their own lands. That's how Turks treated us, Greeks and Assyrians before starting the real Genocide.
    Yes, there are peaceful Muslims, and there were Turks who hid Armenians in their houses. There is never one side to the coin, but the killings are never forgotten...

    d.... k....

    Europa is a moon of Jupiter

  20. L.... V....

    I Lo ve Serj ♡

  21. h.... g....

    seems like hes talking about fighting in the holy lands

    h.... g....

    That's what I was thinking.

    h.... g....

    He's talking about a Holy Land where Jew, Muslim and Christian can live together in peace. So no, he's not at all talking about "fighting."

    Unless you think the lyric "we intend to speak through peace" means something entirely different

    h.... g....

    +Dabednego knows what's up.

  22. T.... 1....

    Can we just take a moment to appreciate how brilliant and talented Serj is ?

    T.... 1....

    Yes :)
    He's amazing!

    T.... 1....

    TheThinkingMinority 13 my favorite song by him

    T.... 1....

    He is wonderful 🙏🏻 Son of God

  23. W.... T....

    Sorry for my nick, but
    this song is so beautiful

    W.... T....

    Wesoły Tygrysek Jesteś Wesołym Tygryskiem, to bardzo ładny nick.

    W.... T....

    @Domek #screwmyname dziękuję kolego

  24. B.... V....

    Serj! I understand it all! :D :D I want to became an Assassin! :D :D

    B.... V....

    +PcVeteran™ Oh? Like a murderous type? What makes you say that?

    B.... V....

    Assassin'S Creed...:D :D :D

    B.... V....

    I think that series showed its last heartbeat in Brotherhood. You are a couple years late!! :P

    B.... V....

    :D :D Ac2 / Ac Brotherhood 4ever! :) :3

    B.... V....

    Yes, Grand Master, we've found one

  25. K.... F....

    I have a tattoo with the phrase "Home is the place that you can't walk away from" from this song

    K.... F....

    The thing , Mrs Morbid Obesity, you have not seen her or me. I may have two dads, how do you know? ahha At that point of being overweight I'd rather have no teeth at all so I won't be looking like a screaming dying walrus on youtube comments section you are.

    K.... F....

    ahhaha You're spending your time defending an overweight piece of evolution's garbage while talking about me "being lonely and annoying" Go start a foundation "The Atlants of Autofellatio" - somehow dignify your world of darkness and loneliness.

    K.... F....

    I walk away from home to school everyday...

    K.... F....

    Amazing idea for a tattoo! :D

    K.... F....

    But you always leave home and make your new one

  26. L.... P....

    This song gets to me on so many levels..

    L.... P....

    Hurray for levels ^^

  27. T.... A....

    There is no turning back for the path of the chosen ones :3 great part
