Flotsam & Jetsam - Take Lyrics






See the way you take my soul
Laugh at how you steal my pride
Crush the dreams that I once had
I'll take it all in stride
Give up everything I've worked for
Give you everything you want
Leave behind my friends and past
To watch you walk away

I did it all for you
I gave you more than I had to give
I gave it all to you
I keep on giving and you just take

Take what you want from me
And throw the rest away
See you standing proud
About the way you forced me down
Into the ground

Show me how to fear another
Teach me not to trust again
Always look over my shoulder
Live with what you took from me
No more can I close my eyes
I just see you walk away
I can't clear my head of you
I cry another day

I did it all for you
I gave you more than I had to give
I gave it all to you
I keep on giving and you just take

Take, take, take
Take what you want from me
And throw the rest away
See you standing proud
About the way you forced me down
Into the ground
Take what you need from me
And leave the rest behind
Take what you want
Take it and leave

Take what you want from me
And throw the rest away
See you standing proud
About the way you forced me down
Into the ground

Flotsam & Jetsam Take Comments
  1. A.... ....

    This may not be an official video, but it's the closest thing to it.

  2. M.... B....

    Nice to see not one thumbs down. I've read a few comments saying they should have a different singer to vox deeper, fuck that ! They're perfect

    M.... B....

    I agree. No Eric A.K., then me no buy. Dude is legendary, and a huge signature sound of F&J.

  3. P.... C....

    [iminent=lRwe6AgUWfOB] So cool.

  4. G.... ....

    I have not!!! Didn't even know it existed to be honest! I will certainly look it up...thanks!!!!

  5. G.... ....

    No I haven't! ...but I will surely look for it! Thanks!!!

  6. P.... C....

    Have yopu listened to Jason Newsteads new band? He singing its not bad. They are called Newstead. Way better than echobrain. I hated it.

  7. G.... ....

    Right on! Best to you!

  8. A.... ....

    It proves that you're opinionated in your pink room, nothing more. The band are writing some of the best music of their career, and you're welcome to miss it.

  9. A.... ....

    Seriously they're killing it! Check out their new albums Dreams of Death, The Cold and now Ugly Noise which just came out with the Cuatro/Drift/High line-up!

  10. A.... ....

    Jason also doesn't want to detract from the band themselves, he's got his own music to write and perform.

  11. P.... C....

    I too loved "Journey" back in the day. It was all hell of a show. I only saw Flots once. And now I don't live in Az. anymore. They did and old Black Sabbath cover and it brought the house down. Everyone in the club was Moshing or jumping. It was incredible.

  12. G.... ....

    It's still Erik A.K singing I always thought of him as the Steve Perry of thrash lol...sounds like a hell of a show you saw!

  13. P.... C....

    who is this singer?It sounds different from what I can remember.I had Lizzy Borden back in the day.It sounds way better,new sound.I saw them in 93.They opened for Mercyful Fate.They were incredible.they brought the house down with a Black Sabbath cover.The whole place was jumping and moshing.I will never forget that concert.One of my favorites.

  14. j.... p....

    unbelievable good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. D.... ....

    This album sounds just like Nevermore. This album isn't thrash, but it's still good progressive metal.

  16. d.... ....

    I've been a fan since '87. These guys are every bit as good now as they ever were. And AK's voice still crushes after all these years. This band is so fucking under rated.

  17. B.... L....

    Oh, yes, I enjoy almost all of their songs, though Unnatural Selection is probably my least favorite.

  18. A.... ....

    Is Jason even playing music regularly anymore? Most of the bands he started and joined after leaving Met didn't pan out and last I heard he took up painting.

  19. A.... ....

    There are some real killer songs and albums in the Flotsam and Jetsam catalog, and a variety of styles so you won't get bored!

  20. S.... ....

    I F&J till i die!!!

  21. B.... L....

    Still banging out to this masterpiece...and ordered all their albums yesterday.Can't wait for the new one and a tour:)

  22. m.... ....

    THIS SHIT IS PHUKN AWESOME, HOW GOOD ARE THE VOCALS!, I will be ordering this album asap, well done Flotsam, I hope they tour to Australia!

  23. j.... ....

    Flotsam is awesome for getting better as time goes on and being bad ass enough to change with the times. They're way heavier than when they started back in the day. We jam 2 doors down from Eric AK , he does a side project here in AZ called "The Human Condition" with the dudes from Sacred Reich.

  24. s.... ....

    @skullkap1
    Fuck yeah man I agree, although Cuatro is debatable haha. It was the first album I heard by them and what drew me in, but at the same time... that whole middle part of the album kind of blows chunks, imo.

  25. f.... ....

    one of the best bands ever. behind Zeppelin of course.

  26. t.... ....

    Flots till death fuckers!

  27. T.... ....

    If Jason joined these guys again,might it put the band in the limelight again
    and gain some more attention?

  28. D.... A....

    Oh shit! Is this a new album? I thought the band broke up a long ass time ago. I used to listen to them back in the days. I somehow saw this in a video suggestion and I am seeing the comments that this is new. Is Newsted on this band? If he is, maaaan he plays great bass...... he should have left Shitallica after And Justice for all they were done! They lost thousands of fans world wide. I'm glad these guys keep Thrash alive!

    Good song

  29. s.... ....

    Love this record! Every record they put out is either very good or great, in my opinion.

  30. B.... L....

    @webmasterflots

    No problem, it's just the truth:)
    Lyrics are also very true to me, especially "The Cold"...

    Thanks for the friends request, also!

  31. B.... L....

    I'm more of a Thrash fan, so I was familiar with Flotsam and Jetsam's first two albums, which I love.
    Everybody told me that Flotsam and Jetsam were crap nowadays.
    Then I listened to this album.

    ARE THEY FUCKING DEAF!!!???
    This album is a masterpiece!
    It's dark, it has great guitars, outstanding vocals, great bass, pounding drums and A VERY DARK atmosphere!

    I don't care if it's not "true" to like this album.
    This is my new favorite album!

  32. s.... ....

    @8quart metallica still kickass.

  33. b.... ....

    Flots till death!

  34. T.... ....

    They should call this the Ex-Wife song..

  35. m.... ....

    Agreed AK sounds great and i am a huge fan being from AZ but listen to Ward. The best bass player they ever had. No offense to Troy or Newstead but Ward is the f#@#ing bomb.

  36. C.... D....

    This album is fucking great! I never was a *big* fan of F&J, but The Cold really kicked by ass. It reminds me a lot of Queensryche, in a good sense - Eric's vocals are amazingly strong and alive, and the music is surreal :) Really great CD, hands down :)

  37. m.... ....

    @8quart you got my 100% support !!

  38. K.... S....

    @metalboto ....you nailed it..AK`s voice really shows up in "TRASH"...no denying he`s got an incredilbe voice,but they are also full circle,the songwriting is also very unique,they are definately not stupid,you can choose what you want to focus on each time you jam to these guys,whatever mood you`re in that day..be it the great guitar play,the pounding drums,of course the vocals,or listen to what they are singing about,what I like about good bands is that their music doesn`t wear out,always good

  39. m.... ....

    yes 8quart,here also one from the first flotsam and yetsam fans,and i have to say this album is great!!let's hope this one breaks through !!what also separates "them" from the other "oldschool metal bands":they are more than good, on their instruments,but the best thing "especially on this album " is eric's voice,that's what separates them from the rest !!!!(is he still smoking??)one of the best albums this year !!!!

  40. D.... B....

    @BAXMAN68 same here!

  41. K.... S....

    I am a F&J fan from the start,I`ve got all of their cds and I am sooo glad this one rocks...there is always a chance that a band gets away from who they are...thank you for not pulling a"metallica"...and keeping the baddass hard sound I need..even at 44 I still grit my teeth to this music,it`s nice to know that there are still bands out there that know where they came from...thank you Flotsam and Jetsam!!!

  42. J.... W....

    @BAXMAN68 omg same hear...we have satalitte radio in our BMW

  43. B.... ....

    OOOPSS. I meant Liquid Metal.

  44. B.... ....

    Heard this song for the first time today on Sirius/XM Liquid Medal's Devil's Dozen. Love it! Great to see a new album :)

  45. S.... ....

    Great catchy track- excellent album- but REALLY miss those SCREAMS :(

  46. h.... ....

    I fuckin love this cd!!! Thanks for posting Tanja, i`m posting this everywhere!!!!

  47. A.... ....

    I just got Dreams of Death and The Cold today, and holy hell guys... when did Flotsam and Jetsam surpass their kingly metal status to become modern day thrash metal gods!?! I'm recommending this stuff to everyone that I know and don't know!!!

  48. A.... ....

    @AlucardsQuest Well I can't say that I'm not mildly disappointed since I love the old logo, but at least it's consistent with the previous album. It makes it feel more like the band has been continuously evolving through out the years. BTW I have all F&J albums on order from Amazon!

  49. A.... ....

    So, you decided against the logo change?

  50. R.... ....

    Just brilliant !

  51. F.... Z....

    Excelent sound. Can't wait to hear the whole thing!

  52. m.... ....

    great to have michael gilbert back in the fold, sad to see ed gone though. looking forward to the new album.... flots til death

  53. L.... S....

    FLOTS TILL DEATH!!! \m/>.<\m/

  54. b.... ....

    brilliant,cant wait for the album

  55. A.... ....

    Good tune! I love the direction that the band is taking, closer to their earlier material! In fact the first 4 F&Js are among my favorite thrash & metal albums!

  56. K.... ....

    nice song! let's make hammerhead-style video :). Please put some photos from recording session on the website if you have

  57. m.... ....

    this is EPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC
