Linkin Park - The Radiance Lyrics






"We knew the world would not be the same. Few people laughed, few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." I suppose we all thought that, one way or another."
[J. Robert Oppenheimer]

    Why would Linkin Park copyright this famous speech?

  10. S.... N....

    Freaking love the industrial with a touch from Linkin Park

  11. R.... ....

    To anyone who wishes death to people who dislike the video, just know that people have opinions. It's okay to not like Linkin Park music. It's okay to click the dislike button. That doesn't mean they are disrespecting Chester Bennington. We are all entitled to our own opinions on things. Please understand that not every dislike comes from a hater.
    To anyone who is unhappy that most people listen to pop music, it's okay. Like I said before, people have opinions. If they like pop and don't like rock, that's totally fine. People can listen to whatever music they wanna listen to, regardless of who made it or the genre of it. Don't let your friendships with people be dictated by the music they listen to. Please don't argue!

  12. G.... C....

    Pure art!!! Who else actually uses their music nowadays, to wake you up, rather than distract you. I mean, really wake you up? Thank you so much to this incredible group that outside of these political messages, I'm already a fan of... But this kind of stuff, makes me support them even more, like George Carlin. Thank you!!

  13. D.... D....

    I dont know what this song came from? . is something family problem or in the community
    because this song is giving me chills. and this song is Creepier than wisdom,justice and love

    D.... D....

    Dannita Delos Angeles
    The whole album is about the dangers of using the atomic bomb and the horrors of war. This is Oppenheimer, the one who created the atomic bomb.

  14. D.... D....

    i dont know what this song came from?
    that song is giving chills because the voice is creppier than wisdom,justice and love

    D.... D....

    This song comes from Julius Robert Oppenheimer, The “Father of the Atomic Bomb”. Wisdom, Justice, and Love is from Martin Luther King Jr. Nothing creepy about either of the songs, or in this case speeches by either of the two men.

  15. J.... ....

    "Now i Am become Death, the destroyer of worlds. I suppose we all thought that one way or another."

  16. H.... C....

    In my head, this album is Linkin Park in some sort of war or crisis, making music.

  18. L.... G....

    I Love is álbum

    I love how this is a direcct continuation of The Requiem

  21. B.... _....

    世界が1つではないとわかっていた
    ある人は笑った、
    ある人は泣いた、
    ほとんどの人々は口を閉ざしていた

    私はヒンドゥー経典の一節を思い出した。
    それはバガヴァッド・ギーターという経典だった

    ヴィシュヌ神は、王子を促した
    義務を果たすようにと
    彼を動かすために、
    千手の姿に形を変え告げた
    「今や我は死なり、世界を破壊する者なり」と、
    私達の誰もが、そのように考えていたのだと思う
    どういった理由であれ

  27. s.... ....

    "Sabíamos que el mundo no sería el mismo. Unas pocas personas se rieron, algunas personas lloraron, la mayoría de la gente guardó silencio. Recordé la línea de la escritura hindú, el Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu está tratando de persuadir al Príncipe de que debe cumplir con su deber y de impresionarlo toma su forma multiarmada y dice: "Ahora, me he convertido en la Muerte, el destructor de mundos". Supongo que todos pensamos que de una manera u otra."
    -J. Robert Oppenheimer

    If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one...

  29. D.... ....

    rest in peace chester bennington

  30. S.... D....

    Thank you to Chester (and Linkin Park, of course) ,
    this music, your music, our music, helped me though times of hardship; during depression, alcoholism(addiction), anxiety, and suicidal ideation. Music lifts me up in times of sadness, calms me in times of madness, allows me to slow down, exhale, and use both emotion and logic and experience my own wisdom from within.

  31. E.... ....

    I thought my pc died during LP marathon since I've got freeze when the requiem switched to the radiance

  32. K.... ....

  42. d.... ....

    If I remember correctly, the spoken words about the Hindu Script was taken from an interview of the man who dropped an Atomic Bomb on Japan.

  43. U.... r....

    THE STORY BEHIND THE SCRIPTURE IN BHAGAVAD GITA

    The story of the Gita is that of Arjuna, a human prince who has been summoned to a war between princely cousins. Arjuna doesn’t want to fight — not because he lacks courage, or skill, but because it is a war of succession, so his enemies are his own cousins, his friends, his teachers. Arjuna does not want to kill them. He confides in his charioteer, who turns out to be the god Krishna2 in a human form. The text of the Gita is mostly Krishna telling Arjuna why Arjuna must go to war, even if Arjuna does not want to do it.

    Krishna’s argument hinges on three points: 1. Arjuna is a soldier, and so it is his job — his duty — to wage war; 2. It is Krishna’s job, not Arjuna’s, to determine Arjuna’s fate; 3. Arjuna must ultimately have faith in Krishna if he is going to preserve his soul.

    Arjuna eventually starts to become convinced. He asks Krishna if he will show him his godlike, multi-armed form. Krishna obliges, showing Arjuna an incredible sight:

    Krishna revealing himself to Arjuna. Source.
    Krishna revealing himself to Arjuna. Source.

    A thousand simultaneous suns
    Arising in the sky
    Might equal that great radiance,
    With that great glory vie.

    Arjuna is awestruck and spellbound:

    Amazement entered him; his hair
    Rose up; he bowed his head;
    He humbly lifted folded hands,
    And worshipped God. . . .

    And then, in his most amazing and terrible form, Krishna tells Arjuna what he, Krishna, is there to do:

    Death am I, and my present task
    Destruction.

    Arjuna, suitably impressed and humbled, then agrees to join in the battle.

    U.... r....

    That was very interesting, thank you very much

  48. A.... K....

    We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." I suppose we all thought that one way or another.
