Le Banquet
C2C Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beginning, today
To do whatever needs to be done
Let's get on with the job!
World has turned over many times
And it transformed the history of men
In the will or the skill to fight
But now further direction is required
Tonight a battle has been join
We will not fail
Regrettably, we know believe that only force will make them live.
I just wanna say this right now
That regardless of what they say about it
There's nothing new, only different!
Never forget this, the future is to those who take it
All I say is that noting is easy, and the best things are the hardest.
That isn't enough, it is madness!
Some men see things as they are and say why?
I dream things that never were and say why not.
Epic battle has ended,
Thank you, good night and farewell.

A monumental conflict has come to a close,
Thank you, good night and farewell.

We are going to begin to act
Beginning, today
To do whatever needs to be done
Let’s get on with the job
World has turned over many times
And it transformed the history of man
Either the will or the skill to fight
We are ready to take part
But now further direction is required
Tonight, the battle has been joined
We will not fail
Regrettably, we now believe that only force will make him leave
I just wanna say this right now
That regardless of what they say about it
There is nothing new, only different
Never forget this
The future is to those who take it
All I say that nothing is easy, and the best things are the hardest
That isn’t enough
It is madness
Some men see things as they are and say why
I dream things that never were and say why not
Epic battle has ended
Thank you, good night, and farewell

I missed this train, but happy to be riding it now. I remembered c2c from their excellent dj-ing skill. It popped up in my head and I found it again. But I found this song and album as well through a YouTube comment. Man, this is so good. I wish C2C would make another album.
