Peace
Tony Iommi Feat. Serj Tankian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can we survive
When the falling rain seems to cease
We will all have to go,
Where are we to go
How could we survive
When the falling rain seems to cease
We have built our lives,
Without nature in mind,
Slowly we've become the disease
But we won't go
Those that survive
Connect with all alive
Peace will be returned,
We need to praise you,
Peace will first be revenged.
Once we used to hear,
Once we used to hear,
The light footsteps of dear,
Now we have no fear
And in turn we'll disappear,
We have built our lives,
Without nature in mind,
Slowly we've become the disease
But we won't go
Those that survive
Connect with all alive
Peace will be returned,
We need to praise you,
Peace will first be revenged.
Revenged,
Revenged
When the rain washes all the mitochondria
Try to steer your intentions into love
When your fears mixed with rain wash your ocean's fear,
I won't be here then, you won't be here when,
When the rain washes all the mitochondria
Try to steer your intentions into love
When your tears mixed with rain wash your ocean's fear,
I won't be here then, you won't be here when,
Just watch the rain,
Just watch the rain,
Rain, watch the rain
Where do we go,
How do we meet you?
The lyrics in Tony Iommi Feat. Serj Tankian's song "Peace" appear to be a genuine concern over humankind's impact on nature and the environment, and how it may lead to our eventual downfall. The artists are questioning where we can go, and how we can survive when our environment is deteriorating. The falling rain serves as a symbol for the deterioration of our ecosystem, and the artists wonder where we can go once everything is destroyed.
The lyrics also suggest that we've built our society without considering the impact we have on nature, and as a result, we've become a disease that is slowly killing the planet. However, the artists urge us not to lose hope, as those who survive will connect with all living beings, and peace will be restored. The act of praising and returning peace is essential, and revenge won't accomplish anything, especially when it comes to nature and the environment.
The final part of the lyrics seems to be an acknowledgement that we're powerless in the face of nature's fury. The artists encourage us to watch the rain and accept that sometimes, we can't control what happens in the environment. They're also suggesting that we should try to steer our intentions towards love rather than fear and let go of our emotions that can lead to destructive behavior. Overall, this song aims to raise awareness of the importance of preserving our environment, our relationship with nature, and each other.

@chitownbluesy Everyone is capable of doing something lacking integrity, I'm not going to blindly pretend this is jaw dropping just because it's Iommi. This is probably the most generic sounding thing he's ever done, know why? Because it's an advertisement.

We NEED an entire album of songs like this. I guess maybe one or two songs with vocals, but an Iommi instrumental album would be EPIC!!!!!

Nosaj--Love Iommi but with that symphonic crap,
It reminds me when Ozzy sang on one of Wakeman song,great fucking song but again too much keyboards and symphony.
Remember the 80s(or ask someone who was there)when the keyboard came out,all metal bands went for it-Dio-Judas Priest,ect
