Ten Thousand Fists is the
third studio album by American rock band Disturbed. It was released on
September 20, 2005 and became Disturbed's second consecutive number 1 debut on
the Billboard 200 in the United States, shipping around 239,000 copies in its
opening week. It has been certified Platinum by the RIAA and was also the
band's second number 1 release in New Zealand. It is also the first Disturbed
album to not have the Parental Advisory label.
Ten Thousand Fists marks
the first album with bassist John Moyer who replaced Steve Kmak following his
dismissal in 2003. However, Moyer was considered a session musician during the
time of recording, and only became a full-time member during the tour
supporting the album. It would be the band's third and final collaboration with
mainstay producer Johnny K. He would later appear full-bodied in the music
video for "Land of Confusion" song.
Ten Thousand Fists is, as
of 2010, Disturbed's second highest selling album in the United States, with
sales of around 1.9 million copies. The Sickness, the band's debut CD, has
shifted sales of almost 4.2 million copies in the United States. The album was
dedicated to Dimebag Darrell who was murdered the year before the album's
release.
I must have dreamed a thousand
dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street
Now, did you read the news today?
They say the danger has gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
They're burning into the night
There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in
Oh, superman, where are you now?
When everything's gone wrong somehow?
The men of steel, these men of power
Are losing control by the hour
This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go around
Tell me why this is a land of confusion
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in
I remember long ago
When the sun was shining
And all the stars were bright all through the night
In the wake of this madness, as I held you tight
So long ago
I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep
There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go round
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?
Now, this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for
This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to.
