First I looked at The All-Music Guide and learned that "Twelve" was written by Kirk McLeod, who is a member of Seven Nations, and that it appears on the album "Seven Nations." Then I went to CDNOW and played the sound sample from "Twelve." I couldn't make out all the words, but I heard this much: "Six minutes can't amount to a life/Who would have thought that I could survive?" Next I tried putting various combinations of those words (allowing for the possibility that I may have misheard a word or two) into Google -- and came up with nothing. Therefore I conclude that the words probably don't exist anywhere on the Internet. If Google can't find it, probably nobody can. I guess you'll have to buy the album and transcribe it yourself, unless you can find somebody else to do it for you. Good luck. |

Funny thing: the lyrics appear white-on-white. I wonder why? Anyway, you can still select-all, copy, and paste. I also listened to the recording and tweaked the words a bit. TWELVE Words and music by Kirk McLeod c 1999 Table Songs/BMI As sung by Seven Nations on "Another Ten Years: A Compilation of Songs 1998-2008: Disc 1" (2010) Out from the ashes of gray desire Out from the dream and into the fire I said a lot; it won't mean a thing After she's gone these words will sting No gods could be that cruel to me Six minutes gone and still I'm alive Who would have thought I could survive Pieces of eight and odd bits of string Are all I remember when I hear her sing No gods could be that cruel to me No gods could be that cruel to me And I blame the sun And I blame the moon And I blame myself And I blame you Twelve minutes gone and I'm still alive And who would have thought that we would survive With all lines repeating and nothing rehearsed I feel so stupid; I feel I'm cursed I don't want to think anymore I don't want to think anymore No gods could be that cruel to me No gods could be that cruel to me |
