Queensryche - Light-Years Lyrics






Light-years and shadows, you'll never see the end of day
Distant horizon, far beyond the past you cannot save

Whispers, no silence, echoing the sounds from far away
Sequenced pariahs, following the footsteps to your grave

Pulling me down the undertow
It's dragging me now, I'm paralyzed
Beyond the distance is out of reach
There's no more I can take

Light-years, you'll never see the end of day
Distant, it's far beyond you cannot save

Pulling me down the undertow
It's dragging me now, I'm paralyzed
Beyond the distance is out of reach

Pulling me down the undertow
It's dragging me now, I'm paralyzed
Beyond the distance is out of reach

    THEY NEED TO CHANGE THEIR NAME! GIVE TODD HIS OWN. IDENTITY.. NO SCOTT.GEOFF.CHRIS .

  9. A.... E....

    This is actually really good. LaTorre is awesome too. Geoff just did a good record with SWEET OBLIVION also and he actually sounds great considering the guy is 60 years old. Quite remarkable actually. This new Qryche actually sounds impressive and the singer just kills it. Good job!

  10. M.... N....

    Awesome, just frickin awesome!

  11. d.... d....

    Welcome back my friends.
    I'm a huge 'Ryche-maniac since 1987
    support&love from Italy 🇮🇹

  12. S.... M....

    I can't believe his hair grew back so fast

  13. S.... M....

    No play on local radio stations?

  14. B.... M....

    Totally Badass! This may have just become my new favorite Queensryche song.

  15. F.... ....

    Such an incredible album! Love every single song! Great songwriting and LaTorre sounds awesome \m/

  16. J.... P....

    They say there drummer didn't cooperate with this album and didn't record the drum trax leaving the new singer to record most Drim tracks.. What a dumbass.. Why wouldn't he wanna be a part of this new music

  17. S.... P....

    Queensryche Resurrected

  18. Y.... ....

    That bass is just off the hook... Great song...

  19. J.... C....

    Miracles do happen. OMG. QR used to suck badly. This is good.

  20. N.... E....

    Close your eyes.
    And i want you to pretend.

  21. B.... ....

    Great song great album to be fair as well Todd has the pipes man

  22. F.... A....

    Brutal Groove: Yeah!

  23. Y.... ....

    I love the original lineup but this shit it hot.

  24. P.... C....

    The best song and video omg

  25. R.... G....

    Seen these guys last week in Kansas City and they sounded better than they have in years. Todd has brought a new energy to the band that had been lacking for a while with Geoff. Eddie and Michael really seem to be enjoying playing on stage again. If you are a fan of Queensryche music...GO SEE THIS BAND!

  26. R.... P....

    Talquei! 😎👉🏾👉🏾🇧🇷

  27. S.... N....

    What guitar are the guitarists playing

  28. J.... R....

    Who is playing drums in the video and on tour? I think Todd covered drums in the studio.

    J.... R....

    Casey Grillo

  29. E.... R....

    sorry.no geoff tate...no queensryche

    E.... R....

    Geoff is 60 yrs old. It's over. However he did just sing with Sweet Oblivion which was cool and he did a good job. Geoff needs to just retire though and focus on his wine business. But Ibthink he went through a brutal divorce too so maybe he needs to keep things going for a while.

  30. B.... M....

    This is fucking great!

  31. K.... D....

    The Verdict is unbelievable it really sounds percussive

  32. M.... S....

    Absolutely love the new QR but the spark of those early albums which put them into a different league is missing. Good on them for giving the fans what they want though.

  33. J.... C....

    Hit some nice highs.

  34. J.... C....

    Hit some nice highs.

  35. u.... ....

    Did Queensryche re-invent this band back into fire breathing dragon status? Long time fan. Metal Sushi.

  36. H.... S....

    I'm confused... this sounds bit like Dream theater. But thats not a bad thing!

  37. K.... C....

    This is why I love music!

  38. O.... M....

    Sounds like dragonforce

  39. E.... S....

    Freaking awesome album. Melodic, powerful with great sound and fantastic vocals.

  40. A.... ....

    Holy Shit!!

  41. C.... N....

    Not even close, sorry boys!

  42. R.... M....

    So fuckin cool

  43. L.... ....

    The guitar solo 2:16 - 2:52 could be in any RFO track. High Quality!

  44. M.... D....

    Hope Scott Rockenfield will come back soon

  45. k.... k....

    Like silk smoother than Sade's smooth one... perfection never wanted but its here.. if i ever marry its this one and surely will die & this is IT.

  46. R.... T....

    Whatever you say on here will be deleted unless it performs to the picture of the channel.

  47. E.... K....

    Real posers

  48. E.... K....

    Fucking wannabes. No Tate no ryche.. he wants so bad to be Tate, probably suck Tate off if he could, listen to tates sweet oblivion.. that's the new queensryche.....

    E.... K....

    No it's just that Todd NATURALLY sounds like that. He's not imitating Tate. Also, your old washed-up idol's voice was never unique to begin with

    E.... K....

    The same Tate who's vocal range is GONE. Maybe you like hearing old Queensryche songs sung mediocre. The only one sucking off Tate is Kelly Gray. Can't get rid of that guy.

  49. M.... N....

    Fuck me !! what a song

  50. N.... T....

    non-traditional Heavy Metal \m/

  51. H.... ....

    Love the new album. It’s just....I mean, there’s two original members left. Lol And neither of them were chief songwriters. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I have a tough time calling this Queensryche. Great stuff regardless.

    H.... ....

    Michael Wilton has always been one of the main songwriters since the very first album, and he's still in the band. Eddie meanwhile, although not having much writing credit in the past, has written some of the best material on the last three albums.

    H.... ....

    Oh, you have a tough time calling this Queensryche? I can't imagine how tough would it be to consider 'Dedicated To Chaos' as Queensryche then.

    H.... ....

    Mr. Side Comments I don’t. Especially when there are outside writers.

  52. A.... S....

    VIBES!!

  53. h.... D....

    omg ,⚔️⚔️⚔️💀⚔️⚔️⚔️🌫️🌫️🌫️🛫🔫 👍🤙✌️👍🤙✌️👍🤙✌️🗡️

  54. X.... R....

    Fates Warning called.

  55. H.... ....

    Yes! 🤘❤️🤘

  56. r.... ....

    Dam this song rock even after 100 plays or more 🤘

  57. S.... S....

    I was reluctant to listen to this. Shame on me for not giving it a try sooner. Couldn't fathom them w/o Tate or DeGarmo. This is blowing me away! Thanks to Glen Drover for recommending it on his Twitter!

  58. M.... D....

    Can't believe QR would ever write write such a great song! They are back!

  59. A.... H....

    Imagine Tate, and De Garmo here. Bring back Queensryche.

    A.... H....

    typical logic of Tate's emotional supporters. Says that "Tate = Queensryche" and yet you now want him to rejoin Queensryche? Oh so that means that Wilton and the other 3 ARE ALSO QUEENSRYCHE! Pft! you just contradict yourself. Also, what's the point of having him back when he still sings many of 'Ryche's classics with his hired guns?

    A.... H....

    Which Tate? The 27 year old Tate or the 65 year old cabaret wine sipping overweight Tate?

  60. b.... ....

    Who is the singer?

  61. P.... P....

    Vocals remind me of Messiah Marcolin in some parts

    P.... P....

    Candlemass? Not even close to Marcolin. Completely different vocal pitch.

  62. J.... M....

    What a song ! Captures the classic Ryche vibe and totally original. The Ryche is back !

  63. C.... D....

    I liked the album a lot but I have something to say: Sweet Oblivion, the resurrection of Geoff Tate

  64. m.... ....

    Hmmmm....how do you like those Tool inspired bass lines?

  65. f.... ....

    the verdict is out Queensryche still know what metal is suppose to sound like in 2019. keep it rockin peace

  66. F.... J....

    Love it, fantastic sound

  67. S.... R....

    Queensryche...2.0!!
    Oh HELL yeah!!!

  68. R.... P....

    Eu sinto a falta do Chris DeGarmo

  69. T.... C....

    The great thing about this album is that Todd LaTorre not only sings but plays drums on the entire album. He's a very talented musician and Queensryche is back on top because they selected a excellent replacement to Geoff Tate. The last 3 Queensryche albums have been really good,especially Condition Human and the new one The Verdict.

  70. M.... E....

    The emancipation from the "Tate" years... Very well done! I just wonder what is going on in Scott Rockenfield´s head. Sure, he still is a shareholder of the Brand Queensryche, but if he does not want to participate any more (once more) he should be fair and clear his place...

  71. K.... H....

    I like the so
    he video. Very cool!

  72. R.... W....

    That shitty snare is killing me!!!! Am I the only one hating the snubbed snare????

  73. P.... O....

    Una bomba el tema. Grandes!!!

  74. k.... k....

    The best song EVER at this moment this is fuckin PERFECT!

  75. M.... M....

    Queensryche??? Geoff Tate he is not!

  76. v.... h....

    not Queensryche sorry....

  77. R.... P....

    Why does every singer of QR think they are GT?

    R.... P....

    every singer? who had been Taint's replacement aside from LaTorre? Also, I hate to break it to you buddy but there are many singers who has the same tone as him

  78. P.... S....

    Sounds like Fates Warning.

  79. L.... r....

    This song is beautiful / wonderful / incredible / powerful. La Torre, you are incredible.

    Geoff Tate, stay away from Queensryche. Will you play Operation Mindcrime all your life? now in 2020, the Empire? 30 years? + Rage for Order . makes new music! have to live and earn the life of the past, do not know how to make music. You spent years talking about Heavy Metal being old and without emotion, but have to keep your family, so ...$$$$$$

    God bless the "new" Queensryche. And in the future, we fans, we are waiting for the return of the master - Scott R.

  80. M.... G....

    Epic, epic song by QR!! Heavy with a distinctive chorus and a sharp striking guitar solo. Just amazing!

  81. r.... ....

    Truly the best song on the album and a few others but this my favorite and good drum fills 🤘

  82. K.... ....

    Amazing tune!


    Love the bass!

  83. R.... T....

    There's a guy named GEOFF TATE who had a band called QUEENSRYCHE are these guys TRYING to be them🤔

    R.... T....

    There used to be a guy name Geoff Tate who used to be able to sing, but never took care of his voice so he decided to try to change the bands' sound.Then he decided he want to dance around the stage like a cabaret dancer, then hit spits on his former bandmates, no class loser.Now he plays clubs and rehashes OM1 and OM2 and he fake band butchers the songs.This is Queensryche, the real Queensryche. a Real progressive metal band with people in the band that actually like the style of music the play.

    R.... T....

    @Kevin McCauley Real Queensryche without Chris and Geoff ..?Hmm..I dont think so..Great song yes,great music yes,but they should change the name..If you are between 20-30 years old,you wont understand the meaning of my words..If you are older probably you will..!!!

  84. S.... Y....

    I’m sorry but Queensryche is NOT Queensryche without Geoff Tate. While being not a “bad” song & you can hear elements of the true original line-up, I’ll pass.

    S.... Y....

    Queensryche was not Queensryche after promised land. Because Tate's voice was and is done.This is the real Queensryche

  85. S.... J....

    Queensryche is reborn kicking ass

  86. C.... ....

    I love this song and it's progressive metal stylings!

  87. S.... R....

    Wow. This song just keeps getting better the more I listen to it (and the whole CD). So many intricate lines. You guys are kickin' ass!!!

  88. T.... L....

    you guys fucking rock!!!! The Q is back stronger than ever...

  89. B.... S....

    Awesome!!!!!!!!! Please continue, change nothing...style I mean!!!!!!!

  90. D.... S....

    Last queensryche I got was op.mindcrime 2 not sure if anything after that came out but I'm def getting this album. I've seen them twice. Seen them play mindcrime 1 and2 I their entireity and was the best show I've seen and I've seen alot. It was even at a small indoor venue probably only 1 or 2 thousand seats and they filled em all
    I wish I could jam with them would be a dream come true

  91. J.... W....

    wow. fucking os. cool

  92. M.... m....

    One of the best Queensryche, just sublime...Todd La Torre, what a voice!!!! It's a real pleasure to hear it!!!! The whole album is taking you from start to finish...

  93. j.... ....

    The video keeps cutting off for me after the solo?

  94. S.... R....

    Missed you guys...welcome back. And then some....damn!!! Can't wait for the CD in the mail, gonna be spending a LONG time in my car!!!

  95. K.... ....

    Holy Fuck Todd: 3:44

  96. L.... M....

    The Verdict is right up there with Mindcrime and The Warning as the bands best works!

    L.... M....

    Couldn't agree more, this album is amazing!
