There's no path to follow
There's no path to follow
There's a line in the sand
Put there by a man
By a man whose children who built the castles made of stone
There's a man in the sky
Giving reasons why
That line grows deeper like these shackles round our bones
Move on to my own
Here come battle scars
It's the final charge
Here come battle scars
There's a child born
To a land of scorn
Sneaks past the borders and the lords that hold his hand
He was led like a lamb
All part of the plan
This castle crumbles as he walks out of this land
Move on to my own
Here come battle scars
It's the final charge
Here come battle scars
This is what we own
Here come battle scars
This is where we are
Here come battle scars
There's no path to follow
There's no path to follow
There's no path to follow
Living for the reasons
of the dead that moved to
paper from their heads
into my fingers
and my deadly view is
strangled by the rent
I have no purpose in this land
have I forgotten how to stand up
with the humor and the need
I've got to find a way to be
I just turn up the stereo
I can't survive without the cold
This culture's fallen off its feet
I've got to find a brand new beat
beat (beat) beat
beat (beat) beat
beat (beat) beat
There's a road ahead
'tween the live and dead
Church bells are ringing like the panic in my head
Step, step, one by one
Walk into the setting sun
Water's rising, rising fast
History catching up at last
Danger ahead, death behind
No one to follow but old man time
Time, time, take us back before the line was drawn
Before the sky turned black.
| Kaw (Apeldoorn (The Netherlands)) | Posted: Aug 23, 2011 - 02:53 Chemical Brothers = not made for Radio Paradise. This is one of the worst tracks from them, but pretty mainstream, so on RP. They make hardcore techno'ish boom-boom music for 03:00 in your local club. No music for RP. |

AllMusic notes for this song: "...the duo stretch out (slightly) for the creepy four-four crawl "Battle Scars" with neo-folkie Willy Mason." Not bad music but definitely not up to TV on the Radio standard |

| snitramc (earth) | Posted: Oct 26, 2008 - 17:29 I gave it a 10, not because I like it so much as I think it is a good song but because jhorton needs to be stopped. |

| chinchita (Thousands of miles from anywhere) | Posted: May 12, 2008 - 17:00 Somewhere, in the Radio Paradise Universe there is a some point at which songs are removed from the playlist. No longer played. I'd like to know what goes in to that process. That okay with you?
I was surprised to see that the average rating for this song was a 6.1 considering how many bad reviews its getting (Out of people who rated it most gave it a 7! )
Perhaps a song is removed when the song receives an average rating of 1. At this rate more 1's are definitely needed. |

| Ballzak | Posted: May 09, 2008 - 11:49 Oh lord, now I'm really scared of Texas. Wait, you know what? You are right. Though I detest this song I do appreciate that they are staying outside of that "commercial crap" box. I had thought that if there were a "0" option on the ratings that I would move this song down to that rank. But, upon further consideration I would leave it a "1" and reserve the "0" for the pop crap that is poisoning the airwaves. Thanks for the perspective! |
| LuvsMusic (Houston, TX) | Posted: May 09, 2008 - 11:43 I'm ok with this song...it beats the heck out of the commercial crap played on the radio here in Houston. |
| Ballzak | Posted: May 09, 2008 - 11:41 You've got to be kidding. I think Bill somehow looks at his list and plays this hellish song only when he knows that I'm listening. He's playing a mean joke on me. Oh, I feel all weepy and listless... nausea setting in... can't rea c h v ol ume... help |
| passsion8 (over the hills and far away) | Posted: May 09, 2008 - 11:40 Bruce Cockburn wants his voice back. Give it to him and pull this track. |

No, seriously, I am asking HOW does a song get removed from the playlist. Is it okay to ask such a question? Would I rather complain? No, I'd rather do whatever necessary to get this crap removed from the airwaves. Can we sign a petition or something? Stage a sit-in? Hunger strike?

I disagree.. 
I don't much care for the song either. |
