Here, here they come Hear their ugly cries fill the air Masters of their trade The harbingers of fear and lies And if they burn heaven down Then we, we will give them hell Our fire will rule the night When the night has come and the land is dark We won't turn our backs on you, turn our backs on you So stand, stand up tall and proud Against the beasts who say they bring salvation Fight for the world, fragile and battered, For all is not lost yet Our will will rule the night When the night has come and the land is dark We won't turn our backs on you, turn our backs on you When the night has come and the land is dark You, you will lead the charge and become our spark And we won't turn our backs on you, turn our backs on you

I’ve been traveling for so long To end up where I started Across the bridges winding up and down From steel mills to the hills of trees When I started out, things were going fine I’m starting to feel, like I am tiring out I’ve seen architecture on display A city housed in one building Shown to me by the ones who’ve been this way before They know I’ve got to keep it up Oh, before it all comes down Oh, got to be steady as a rock So I’m moving again, off to see the sights I hope that my mind can keep it up Oh, before it all comes down Oh, got to be steady as a rock I’ve seen snow that buries a whole town (A blizzard flurrying before my very eyes) The cars frozen as they drove So I wonder how much longer now (It’s getting hard to keep holding my eyes open) Before I’ll close these tired eyes When I started out, things were going fine I’m starting to feel, like I am tiring out So I’ve got to be steady as a rock So I’ve got to be steady as a rock I’ve been traveling for so long To end up where I started

Lady Picasso’s mind is as god intends She won’t tarnish the design with all her meds For a good, sound mind she says that she must keep Detoxified by going five days without sleep Lady Picasso dances by the TV Rearranges pixels sees things we don’t see Her imagination’s power sometimes lets her hear Her ancestors talking when the signal’s clear Lady Picasso stood in the street Watching for cars to come knock her off her feet Lady Picasso thinks the end times have come She thinks that the world has gone mad and then some Says “look outside and you’ll see we’re all deranged Yet why do you look at me and find me so strange?”

Your heart pumping louder, than you ever thought it could go Your temples are throbbing harder and harder Your vision is blurring, the lights get brighter and brighter You can’t breathe, trying to claw your way out Out of this place where all you can feel is the panic The feeling of the walls closing on in Can’t run, can’t move, cannot escape from your senses They’re screaming telling you it’s time to go Get ready now for what feels like the end See if you can make it through (Just hold your head up Take a deep breath Now find your focus And push ahead There’s no escaping This rising tide But you can make it Time to pull through) Just when you thought it was all under control You feel your pulse quicken, the sweat is coming in Choking on your breath, everything seems so much bigger You can’t win; you’re hiding, hoping there will be an escape "You cannot run but you do not have to Time to dig in and see what you’re made of Ready your stance and take up your weapon Time to aim your bow and arrow And fire!" Not done yet (I’m still in this fight) Not broken (I’ll take what you give) I’ll be here (I’m stronger than that) Till the end (And face all my fears) You think you can beat this? You actually think you can win? They’re laughing, they’re taunting, they all know you’re a… Failure, impostor, you’re way out of your depth You shouldn’t have come, just crawl back to bed Learn how to gracefully accept defeat Shut up and stick to your place "You do not need them You never did It may not feel so But you’re not alone" Oh really? You think that someone is going to have your back You fool, no one ever cared about you So give up, it’s hopeless, everything you do is futile There’s no point in trying to hide your disgrace "Focusing now with all of your energy Time to pick up and aim your bow So fire!" Not done yet (I’m still in this fight) Not broken (I’ll take what you give) I’ll be here (I’m stronger than that) Till the end (And face all my fears) All right! You’ve got this, just keeping your focus on your task This challenge is nothing that you cannot handle Your heart pumping louder than you ever thought it could go It’s telling you that you have what it takes to go on "Focusing now with all of your energy Time to pick up and aim your bow So fire!" Not done yet (I’m still in this fight) Not broken (I’ll take what you give) I’ll be here (I’m stronger than that) Till the end (And face all my fears)

Oh, Madam Sing I have long sought your song Your voice, let it ring So pure and so strong Oh, Madam Sing For I long to have heard A sweet, simple thing Warm and gentle words And I know I’ll be free For all I have known And all I have seen Melts away like the snow Oh, Madam Sing I have waited oh so long Please just tell me one small thing All this time I’ve not been wrong Oh, Madam Sing Let your voice now fill the air And surround me in its glory Won’t you please take me there And I know I’ll be free For my journey’s been so long Here I will find peace In the beauty of your song

The stage lights dawn upon me Calling me to bask in their glow "What would you give to be Subject to those adoring eyes?" I have dreamed of a life complete Surrounded by the throngs who will understand me "The power is there for you to claim All it takes is for you to sign your name" I sold my soul to rock and roll For the chance to be the one to win the crowd I sold my soul to rock and roll For the chance to be free But all I have done is placed myself in chains "Surely the shackles are a price that you gladly have paid Escape from obscurity, wealth, fame, all know your name See the contract signed and sealed!" The thrill of the stage, a desire I could not contain Now my life is dictated by the rules of your games Let me go (no can do), let me out (how could I) Let me/(you) go "The contract is writ; your life belongs to me now!" Perhaps I could run away, make a break for it "You bask in the light; you cannot escape from my sight" I’ve got the will to survive; I can make it "Hide if you want but you cannot escape your desires" I’ll start over now, time to take a bow (I sold my soul to rock and roll For the chance to win the crowd) No more compromise (I sold my soul to rock and roll For the chance to be free) I will earn my place! "So you’ve gone on your own Forsaking the shortcut to regain your soul" The stage lights are calling me still One day I hope to see them again I sold my soul to rock and roll I sold my soul to rock and roll I sold my soul to rock and roll I sold my soul to rock and roll

I struggle to hold on Clamber to carry on There’s no sense to be had Feels just like going mad I struggle to hold on Clamber to carry on There’s no sense to be had Feels just like going mad Survival comes at a cost There’s no guarantee Feels like this endless war Accepting you’re gone The time has come to say our goodbyes Feeling the cold that remains So my mind turns into stone Weathering this coming storm Survival comes at a cost There’s no guarantee Feels like this endless war Accepting you’re gone Another day, another struggle (Harden my soul to survive) Between the sadness and the pain (Must stand my ground) Trying to keep your image intact (Feels like this endless war) Wanting a release from this ache (Accepting you’re gone) Holding on the dearest of moments Keeping them safe down inside Moving on feels like betrayal Yet it is what must be done Survival comes at a cost There’s no guarantee Feels like this endless war Accepting you’re gone Another day, another struggle (Harden my soul to survive) Between the sadness and the pain (Must stand my ground) Trying to keep your image intact (Feels like this endless war) Wanting a release from this ache (Accepting you’re gone) Another day, another struggle (Harden my soul to survive) Between the sadness and the pain (Must stand my ground) Trying to keep your image intact (Feels like this endless war) Wanting a release from this ache (Accepting you’re gone)

Sometimes when I look too close I notice things that hurt to see And sometimes when I think too hard I’m scared by the world around me But when I’m slow and low I know it’s time I gotta go Shake off that old junk Hand me my guitar and I’ll Get out of my funk Sometimes when I sleep too much The nightmares start to feel so real And then when I wake up The real thing feels like the same deal But when I’m stuck in muck and I have run out of my luck Know that I ain’t sunk Hand me my guitar and I’ll Get out of my funk So when I’m slow and low I know it’s time I gotta go Cause this ain’t no slam dunk Yeah if I’m stuck I’ll buck up I don’t care how much it sucks Man I ain’t no punk Hand me my guitar and I’ll Get out of my funk

Sister went to the store Brother fell at home Disconnected oxygen Brother was alone Twenty minutes later She found him on the floor And when the medics came in They could do nothing more The oldest one was he Now the oldest is me I was working On a car in my shop The back phone kept on ringing I had to make it stop I could not hear Sister’s words But listened as she cried Outside I heard a soft rain fall The day that Brother died When I was a child In a country far away Brother’s throat began to close It was the flu they say Brother was so sick and thin The other kids would tease Sister and I beat them up Brought them to their knees Those were in days gone by Today I say goodbye... With two thousand dollars We came to the States They shoved a tube right through his neck It seemed an ugly fate But brother never rued the day He never said why me He gave and slaved his days away To help others in need Here in America Farmers we became The work was hard and in my head Brother was to blame Dreams that I had back at home Were now so far away And as my resentment grew I knew I could not stay My heart had grown so cold And now I’ve grown so old I never was the Man I should have been I was not there for Brother My flesh my blood my kin Upon my wife’s shoulder Last night I softly cried Still outside a soft rain fell The day that Brother died
