In a world without a guide,
We stumbled through the night,
Everyone chasing their own light
In their own minds, in their own rights.
But we were lost, wandering aimlessly,
Our freedom felt like chains, caught in the entropy.
We declared all rules were dead,
Let our whims be the guide,
But the emptiness grew louder,
And truth we couldn’t hide.
Oh, where do we run, when the light fades away?
When the stars fall from the sky, and night invades the day?
We need something to lead us through the storm and through the pain,
Who's gonna restore the order once again?
The madman shouted, "We've torn it all down,
Now we drift without a compass, spinning 'round and 'round."
We’ve torn away the heavens, thrown reason to the wind,
Without a higher ground, we fall into the spin.
Chained by our own desires,
We’ve lost the way to life, sinking deeper into fires.
But there’s a whisper calling
Through the madness and the storm,
A voice to bring us balance,
And lead us back to form.
Oh, where do we run, when the light fades away?
When the stars fall from the sky, and night invades the day?
We need something to lead us through the storm and through the pain,
Who's gonna restore the order once again?
Freedom without boundaries is chaos in disguise,
We need a truth to guide us, not just fleeting highs.
When we do what's right in our own eyes, the path turns cold and gray,
But order calls us back, shows us a better way.
Chorus
Oh, where do we run, when the light fades away?
When the stars fall from the sky, and night invades the day?
We need something to lead us through the storm and through the pain,
Who's gonna restore the order once again?
Outro
In the madness, there’s a reckoning, in the darkness, we must fight,
To find the guide that brings us back, and make the wrongs right.
Who's gonna restore the order once again?
Fighting the Fade
Woke up at dawn, couldn’t sleep through the night,
Aches in my bones, they’re putting up a fight.
But I ain’t the kind to just sit and complain,
Growing old’s for the tough ones, built to take the strain.
(Pre-Chorus)
The mirror shows the lines I’ve earned,
But deep inside, the fire still burns.
I’m not going quietly, won’t bow to time,
I’ll keep on running till the finish line.
(Chorus)
I’m fighting the fade, with all that I’ve got,
These creaking bones won’t make me stop.
The years may come, but I ain’t afraid,
I’ll face every dawn and fight the fade.
(Verse 2)
Mornings are slower, but my heart’s still fast,
Memories of glory in a world that’s passed.
But I won’t be caged by the years slipping by,
I’ll stand my ground beneath this changing sky.
(Pre-Chorus)
The world may change, but I remain,
Grabbing each day through joy and pain.
I’m pushing back against the night,
Racing the dark with all my might.
(Chorus)
I’m fighting the fade, with all that I’ve got,
These creaking bones won’t make me stop.
The years may come, but I ain’t afraid,
I’ll face every dawn and fight the fade.
(Bridge)
It takes a fighter to grow old and wise,
To weather the storms and still rise.
I’m bruised but standing tall in the fight,
Refusing to go gentle into that night.
(Final Chorus)
I’m fighting the fade, with all that I’ve got,
These scars are proof I haven’t forgot.
The years may come, but I’ll stand unafraid,
Living full throttle, I’ll fight the fade.
(Outro)
So here I am, still in the game,
Old and bruised, but not the same.
With every breath, I’m unafraid,
Until the end, I’ll fight the fade.
Electric Midnight
Late night shadows creeping in,
Thoughts are louder than the wind,
Eyes so heavy but they won't stay closed,
The clock just laughs as the hours go.
I lay in bed, mind's running wild,
Dreams feel so close, yet so far I can't find,
A spark of peace, just one deep sigh,
But when I shut my eyes, it's all alight.
(Chorus)
Electric midnight, I'm caught in a fight,
Between the silence and the storm in my mind.
I walk the halls, trying to fall,
But drowsiness is hiding, won't answer my call.
Electric midnight, no rest in sight,
I'm stuck in the current, holding on tight.
So tired, but the dreams won't come,
Electric midnight's got me undone.
(Verse 2)
Whispers of calm, then they're gone so fast,
Imagination's flying, can't slow the past,
Memories flicker like they're on replay,
Lost in this night that won't turn to day.
I feel the tension buzzing in my veins,
Wishing for sleep, but I'm wide awake,
Count the stars, then count again,
Electric pulses under my skin.
(Chorus)
Electric midnight, I'm caught in a fight,
Between the silence and the storm in my mind.
I walk the halls, trying to fall,
But drowsiness is hiding, won't answer my call.
Electric midnight, no rest in sight,
I'm stuck in the current, holding on tight.
So tired, but the dreams won't come,
Electric midnight's got me undone.
(Bridge)
I search for stillness, but it slips away,
Like moonlight through the cracks, fading away.
A heartbeat pounding, a restless soul,
Chasing sleep, but never whole.
(Chorus)
Electric midnight, I'm caught in a fight,
Between the silence and the storm in my mind.
I walk the halls, trying to fall,
But drowsiness is hiding, won't answer my call.
Electric midnight, no rest in sight,
I'm stuck in the current, holding on tight.
So tired, but the dreams won't come,
Electric midnight's got me undone.
(Outro)
Maybe tomorrow, I'll catch the light,
Rivals in Our Trenches
We built these walls so high, brick by stubborn brick
You stand your ground, and I stand mine, we never seem to click
We see the same horizon, but it looks so different here
You're calling out your logic, and I just cover my ears
Pre-Chorus:
Every answers a question, but neither one replies
Caught up in our echoes, we only hear our sides
Chorus:
Rivals in our trenches, staring across the line
We’re just two stubborn hearts, convinced that we're both right
No trust, no truth, no healing, just distance and despair
We're mending walls between us, and neither of us cares
Rivals in our trenches, where the healing never starts
We've drawn the lines in dirt, but we’ve both torn apart
Verse 2:
You build your truth in stone, I stack mine up in clay
We tend to what divides us, and let the roots decay
There's a question in the silence that neither wants to ask
Why we can't tear this wall down, instead we hold our masks
Pre-Chorus:
Gaslight and misinformation, both play our twisted game
But through the smoke, I wonder—do we even know our names?
Chorus:
Rivals in our trenches, staring across the line
We’re just two stubborn hearts, convinced that we're both right
No trust, no truth, no healing, just distance and despair
We're mending walls between us, and neither of us cares
Rivals in our trenches, where the healing never starts
We've drawn the lines in dirt, but we’ve both torn apart
Bridge:
"Good fences make good neighbors," so you always say
But what’s a wall that shuts us out, but keeps the hurt in play?
If I just reach across the line, could we somehow build a bridge?
Or are we forever digging deep into this bitter ridge?
Chorus:
Rivals in our trenches, staring across the line
We’re just two stubborn hearts, convinced that we're both right
No trust, no truth, no healing, just distance and despair
We're mending walls between us, and neither of us cares
Rivals in our trenches, where the healing never starts
We've drawn the lines in dirt, but we’ve both torn apart
Outro:
We built these walls so high, thinking they’d protect
But all we've done is trap ourselves in the space where we forget
That rivals in the trenches are just people, after all
Who've built their walls so strong, they can't hear the other’s call
Escape from Pandemonium
In the shadowed glow, where angels fell,
A burning light that breeds the spell,
Of endless night, no dawn in sight,
A fractured mirror, a hollowed hell.
Once bathed in glory, now lost in flame,
Where light is void, no hope, no name,
A sleepless fate, a broken gate,
In Pandemonium's endless game.
Escape from Pandemonium, a sleepless existence,
Where light betrays the heart’s resistance,
A fading star in the black abyss,
Where hope once lived but now is missed.
The blinding gleam, it mocks the soul,
A twisted dream where shadows stroll,
In this wasteland, no grace, no hand,
To lift the fallen from this darkened hole.
From Heaven’s heights to depths below,
Where once there burned a sacred glow,
Now cursed to roam, no peace, no home,
In hollow halls where cold winds blow.
Escape from Pandemonium, a sleepless existence,
Where light deceives with no forgiveness,
A shattered crown on a broken throne,
Where faith once lived but now is gone.
The dark light blinds, it chains, it binds,
It’s the bitter fruit of twisted minds,
A fallen king, a cursed ring,
The endless dirge of lost mankind.
Escape from Pandemonium, a sleepless existence,
Where light mocks life in cruel persistence,
A hollow sun in the deep unknown,
Where love once dwelled but now is disowned.
A sleepless exile, a shadow’s play,
Where night and day both fade away,
In the twisted light, the fallen weep,
In Pandemonium, there’s no release, no sleep.
We Got Ourselves A Game
Here’s the thing that makes life so damn wild,
The strong survive, that’s what they’ve always smiled.
Maybe so, maybe so, that’s what they say,
But competition’s got a whole different way.
You see, just 'cause they’re strong, don’t mean they won’t fall,
Underdogs rise when they answer the call.
Yeah, the favorite might have the odds on his side,
But passion beats numbers, and heart won’t hide.
(Chorus)
So step to the line, feel the fire in your chest,
It ain’t about the math, it’s about who’s got the best.
When the whistle blows and the clock starts to tick,
Forget the predictions, forget all the tricks.
'Cause out on the field, it ain’t just a game,
When the odds are against you, it’s never the same.
Stats don’t matter, logic won’t reign,
Hold tight to your grit, 'cause we got ourselves a game.
Experts will tell you how the story should go,
They’ll say that the numbers already know.
Fair enough, fair enough, let ‘em speak,
But this ain't about playing it safe, it’s about taking the leap.
When that starting gun sounds, it's anyone's race,
And passion has a way of setting the pace.
So don't count us out, don’t call it too soon,
We’re flipping the script like a howl at the moon.
(Chorus)
So step to the line, feel the fire in your chest,
It ain’t about the math, it’s about who’s got the best.
When the whistle blows and the clock starts to tick,
Forget the predictions, forget all the tricks.
'Cause out on the field, it ain’t just a game,
When the odds are against you, it’s never the same.
Stats don’t matter, logic won’t reign,
Hold tight to your grit, 'cause we got ourselves a game.
When the underdog rises and the crowd feels the rush,
There's no telling who’ll win, when it’s all just a hush.
The numbers don’t know what the heart’s gonna bring,
And passion has a funny way of changing everything.
So don’t be surprised when someone won’t quit,
They’re flipping the script, they’re making a hit.
The odds were all wrong, now remember the name,
'Cause tonight, tonight… we got ourselves a game.
Lost in Translation
Verse 1
I try to speak loud with a quiet sound
A message scattered all around
To those I love, but no one hears
My words dissolve like morning tears
I open up, but it all falls flat
The deeper meanings fall through the cracks
They nod the head, but we’re not in sync
I’m drowning, but no one sees me sink
Chorus
I’m lost in translation, speaking through the void
Trying to connect, but feeling destroyed
I share my heart, but it’s misunderstood
Is anyone out there? Am I still good?
Verse 2
With every text, with every call
I give a piece, I give it all
But something's missing in what I say
Like a song that’s played the wrong way
I send my voice across the void
To those who care, but still assume
They hear the words but miss the soul
And I’m left much less than whole
Chorus
I’m lost in translation, speaking through the void
Trying to connect, but feeling destroyed
I share my heart, but it’s misunderstood
Is anyone out there? Am I still good?
Bridge
I’m here, I swear, I’m reaching out
But somehow, it gets turned around
So many faces, but no one sees
The depth of my complexities
I’m lost in translation, fragments in space
Multiple platforms but no real trace
I share my soul, but it’s misunderstood
Am I still standing where I once stood?
I’ll keep on trying, though the words may fade
Through all this noise, hope’s still being made
Even if they never fully see
I'll hold on tight to the real me
Unknown and Unrealized
Verse 1
Close enough for words to form,
But silence stays, just like a storm,
Whispers in the quiet air,
Things that could have been but won’t be there.
A look, a touch, a flash of gold,
Daffodils in dreams untold,
A thousand futures we won’t know,
But they light up the soul, they glow.
Chorus
In the unknown, in the unrealized,
There’s freedom where we fantasize,
A dance of dreams that never land,
A love that we don't understand.
In the space where we don’t belong,
There’s heartache but it’s still a song,
It’s where the might-have-beens all hide,
In the unknown and unrealized.
Verse 2
Like the last leaf hangin' on,
We ache for what is never gone,
Frozen in a sweet goodbye,
Like Agape watching from the sky.
Cleopatra, Aphrodite laugh,
But we hold tight to the path,
Two lanes runnin' side by side,
Are they the same? We wonder why.
Chorus
In the unknown, in the unrealized,
There’s freedom where we fantasize,
A dance of dreams that never land,
A love that we don't understand.
In the space where we don’t belong,
There’s heartache but it’s still a song,
It’s where the might-have-beens all hide,
In the unknown and unrealized.
Bridge
If I’m honest, I wanna know,
The questions that I never show,
The answers scared to find the light,
It’s a soulfight, yeah, a soulfight.
Chorus
In the unknown, in the unrealized,
There’s freedom where we fantasize,
A dance of dreams that never land,
A love that we don't understand.
In the space where we don’t belong,
There’s heartache but it’s still a song,
It’s where the might-have-beens all hide,
In the unknown and unrealized.
Things of Hell Too Well
(Verse 1)
A man doesn't have to die to go to hell,
But don’t be misled, no, don’t be misled—
Hell on earth ain’t the same as hell in hell.
While he still lives, he might escape,
But when he dies, it’s permanent.
(Pre-Chorus)
We know the things of Hell too well,
And the ways of Heaven too little.
We know them in everyday ways,
Yet amazingly aren’t afraid.
(Chorus)
As we stand mute to the extension of grace,
Resistant to peace, and rebels in His face.
We know the things of Hell too well,
And the ways of Heaven too little.
(Verse 2)
The fevers, the chills, the cancers that ravage,
The agonies, the wounds, and weapons so savage.
Lies and manipulation, destroy reputations,
Revenge and lust, gun down the nations.
(Pre-Chorus)
We know the things of Hell too well,
And the ways of Heaven too little.
We know them in everyday ways,
Yet we still aren’t afraid.
(Chorus)
As we stand mute to the extension of grace,
Resistant to peace, and rebels in His face.
We know the things of Hell too well,
And the ways of Heaven too little.
(Bridge)
A baby’s smile, a child’s soft giggle,
A word that can brighten our day.
A ray of hope in a widow’s lonely cell,
I wish we knew Heaven that well.
(Verse 3)
How strange we are to choose the door,
That’s filled with the things of Hell.
Do we want to stay in a place like this,
Or cry out to the One who said, “It is done”?
(Final Chorus)
We know the things of Hell too well,
And the ways of Heaven too little.
Do we really want to stay forever,
In a place that reeks of Hell?
(Outro)
Only time will tell,
Only time will tell,
If we’ll cry out to the One who said,
“It is done.”
