lyrics

You may scoff you may cry
You can analyze your pain
And there's no reason why
You should live your life in vain

I've seen the genius with no common sense
I've seen the scholar live behind the fence
Justify the action without thinking of the other
And train yourself to look the other way

Don't kill the message Don't kill the messenger
Your right of passage stands in your way
We're only human it's so easy to say your sorry
Don't kill the messenger

So you won't even try
To hear the words they say
And you don't need to lie
Enjoy your pain and suffering

I've seen the sadness of a broken man
I've seen the wreckage sure to follow
Too much to change if you look into the meaning
In the end you turn and walk away

Don't kill the message
The whole world could change in a day
And all you need is to be willing
To head the words they say

So the time goes by you're not listening
To that little voice in your head
It's easy to wait until tomorrow
But the day may never end

Don't kill the message if the words they say bring you pain
Don't kill the messenger we should all learn the tale of the King

So turn the page to Chapter One
The man who speaks my father's son
Forever is the mountain we must climb

So the time goes by you're not listening
To that little voice in your head
It's easy to wait until tomorrow
But the day may never end

Don't kill the message if the words they say bring you pain
Don't kill the message shine a light on what we could change
Don't kill the message if the words they say bring you pain
Don't kill the messenger we should all learn the tale of the King

Cell15 Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

From the first recoil of the complex kit's snare drum, followed by locomotive-strength symphonic keys, listeners are propelled like shot in a sling into Cell15's powerful breakthrough debut album, "Chapter One." This is a driving progressive rock concept album that's befitting of the most-capable, well-powered sound system. ... more
