Disturbed is an American rock band from Chicago, Illinois. The group was formed in 1996 when musicians Dan Donegan, Steve "Fuzz" Kmak, and Mike Wengren hired singer David Draiman. Since the band's formation, they have sold over 10 million albums worldwide, released three consecutive number one albums[1], and have been nominated for a Grammy Award, making them one of the most successful rock bands in the recent years.[2] Only six other rock bands have released three number one albums in a row: Van Halen, Pearl Jam, U2, Dave Matthews Band, Staind, and Metallica.
Classified by some as a rock or nu metal band,[1] Disturbed is now regarded by some music critics as hard rock or heavy metal,[3] although others now regard them as alternative metal.[4]. However, the band's genre is still being debated. When asked about die-hard heavy metal fans not finding Disturbed heavy enough, frontman David Draiman stated:
"We probably have too much melody going on or we're not quite as turbulent or caustic. While I really love that type of music, it's not what we try to do. If we have to place things in context, we're more hard rock than heavy metal these days."

One more goddamn day
When I know what I want
And my want will be considered tonight
Consider tonight
Just another day
When all that I want
Will mark me as a sinner tonight
I'm a sinner tonight, yeah
People can no longer cover their eyes
If this disturbs you then walk away
You will remember the night you were struck by the sight of
Ten Thousand fists in the air
Power unrestrained
Dead on the mark
Is what we will deliver tonight
Deliver tonight
Pleasure fused with pain
This triumph of the soul
Will make you shiver tonight
We'll make you shiver tonight, yeah
People can no longer cover their eyes
If this disturbs you then walk away
You will remember the night you were struck by the sight of
Ten Thousand fists in the air
We are the ones that will open your mind
Leave the weak and the haunted behind (X4)
People can no longer cover their eyes
If this disturbs you then walk away
You will remember the night you were struck by the sight of
Ten Thousand fists in the air
Ten Thousand fists in the air
Ten Thousand fists in the air.
Believe when you lie
You will never need to recognize yourself
To deceive
To remove all the chance of doubt and be received
With your lie
The deception is complete when you concede
And decide
To reject your lives, sacrificed to me
Chorus
Penance can't absolve your sin
All your belief, cannot absolve your sin
Believe when you lie
You will never need to recognize the source
Of deceipt
To renew your faith in god
You must believe in your lie
The redemption is complete when you conceive
And decline
To release your lives
Sacrificed to me
Chorus
Reap your life like you want to
Recognize, all you've come to
Reap your life
Veiled in shadow
Reconize
Faces of the crucified
I can hear their screams tonight
Ever haunting me
I'm not ready to die, girl
Because of what you don't tell me
I'm not ready to walk inside of where you're taking me
I'm not ready to die, girl
Because of what you don't tell me
I'm not willing to compromise the man I want to be
Think you're a little bit closer
To changing me
You're never winning me over
You're wasting time
Leave me be
I'm not ready to die, girl
Because of what you don't tell me
I'm never going to tow the line of your conformity
I'm not ready to die, girl
Because of what you don't tell me
I'm not ready to leave the realm of anonymity
Think you're a little bit closer
To changing me
You're never winning me over
You're wasting time
Get away from me
Think you're a little bit closer
To changing me
You're never winning me over
You're wasting time.
Don't turn away
I pray you've heard the words I've spoken
Dare to believe, for one last time, then I let the darkness cover me
Deny everything, slowly walk away to breathe again
On my own
Carry me away
I need your strength to get me through this
Dare to believe, for one last time, then I let the darkness cover me
Deny everything
Slowly walk away to breathe again
On my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
Dare to believe, for one last time, then I let the darkness cover me
Deny everything
Slowly walk away to breathe again
On my own.
Say, yes they know that you hurt yourself another time
Don't they know that you're full of pain already?
Yes they know that you hurt yourself another time
Decadence isn't easy, is it?
Yes they know that you hurt yourself another time
Don't they know that you're full of pain already?
Yes they know that you hurt yourself another time
Decadence isn't easy
Then you slowly recall all your mind
Why, your soul's gone cold, and all hope has run dry
Devil inside
Never enough to forget that you're one of the lonely
Slowly recall all your mind
Say, yes they know that you hurt yourself another time
Don't they know that you're full of pain already?
Yes they know that you hurt yourself another time
Decadence isn't easy, is it?
Yes they know that you hurt yourself another time
Don't they know that you're full of pain already?
Yes they know that you hurt yourself another time
Decadence isn't easy
Slowly recall all your mind
Why, your soul's gone cold, and all hope has run dry
Devil inside
Never enough to forget that you're one of the lonely
Slowly recall all your mind
If I scare you now
Don't run from me
I've been hiding my pain, you see
Said if I scare you now
Don't run from me
I've been hiding my pain, you see
Slowly recall all your mind
Why, your soul's gone cold, and all hope has run dry
Devil inside
Never enough to forget that you're one of the lonely
Slowly recall all your mind
Slowly recall all your mind
Say, yes they know that you hurt yourself another time
Don't they know that you're full of pain already?
Yes they know that you hurt yourself another time
Decadence isn't easy is it.
Fear something again
Hup, hup, hup, hup, hup, hup x4
Reject
Are you no one
Feel you nothing
You know I'll bet you think
You have a good reason to be living
In the limelight of the fortunate ones
you're too weakened by the poison
That they feed you in the living lie
They don't believe you
Care to no one
Trust in nothing
Little impotent one
I don't want to be innocent, you know
I don't want to let them hypnotize me
Punk ass, are you listening
Can you hear me or are you deaf and dumb to my language
Do the real words seem to hurt you
Well put em' up motherf**ker
Gonna feel it
When I stamp it on your forehead
So you will never forget
That you're a reject
And you're a no one
And you're nothing
Little impotent one
Fear awaken
Go with it now
And let it overcome you
Fear awaken
Your mind is racing
I don't understand why you don't like me
Why don't you like me?
Am I so different from you
Now does it scare you that I'm able to discern
What to love and what to burn
I'll add your fuel to the fire now
Stand back, brother take your hand back
Leave it and I might crack
More than a smile or two you see
You don't judge what you don't understand
You can't deny what has been given to me.
Forgiven to me
You're forgiven to me
You're just another dead man living to me
Forgiven to me
You're forgiven to me
How can you let a dead man live?
Forgiven to me
You're forgiven to me
You're just another dead man living to me
Forgiven to me
You're all giving to me
How can you let a dead man live?
Forgiven to me
You're forgiven to me
You're just another nightmare walking to me
You weren't dreaming of me
Now you're giving to me
How can I let a nightmare live?
To be purified in fire
anesthetic for the pain
As the final words erupt from your mouth
Who will remember your name?
Forgiven to me
You're forgiven to me
You're just another dead man living to me
Forgiven to me
You're all giving to me
How can you let a dead man live?
Forgiven to me
You're forgiven to me
You're just another nightmare walking to me
You weren't dreaming of me
Now you're giving to me
No longer will the nightmare live
To be purified in fire
anesthetic for the pain
As the final words erupt from your mouth
Who will remember your name?
Walking the line that the world has drawn
Fighting for balance, alone in the dark
Will you carry the burden the world has grown?
Will you destroy everything in your sight?
You alone can give this one more try
You alone will bury me tonight
To be purified in fire
anesthetic for the pain
As the final words erupt from your mouth
Who will remember your name?
Who will remember your name?
Remember your name
Remember your name
Forgiven to me
You're forgiven to me
Remember your name
Forgiven to me.
