Common Heroes
04:29
|
|||
Do the job, no worry ‘bout the role
Adapt and give all from your soul
Buckle down, work from dawn to dusk
Through it all committed to their trust
As one, we rise
Time’s come for common heroes
Together, we face the tragedy
As one, we rise
Rise up as common heroes
Together, we face the tragedy, the travesty
Warriors that never raise a hand
Quietly agree to make a stand
Endless days with no sleep in sight
So all of us can make it through the night
As one, we rise
Time’s come for common heroes
Together, we face the tragedy
As one, we rise
Rise up as common heroes
Together, we face the tragedy, the travesty
Without words, there to lend a hand
In spite of authority’s demands
Rising up with common sense and heart
Ignore the voices pulling us apart
As one, we rise
Time’s come for common heroes
Together, we face the tragedy
As one, we rise
Rise up as common heroes
Together, we face the tragedy, the travesty
As one, we rise
Rise up as common heroes
Together, we face reality

Fever Rising
03:13
|

Upward trending, how could that be wrong?
Climbing higher, the economy’s so strong
Social interests, what a waste of time
Words of madness, no reason, no rhyme
A fever’s rising
Denied by believers
and hesitant leaders
A fever’s rising
Climbing higher
A world on fire
Profit making, that never hurt no one
Gross income, expands and never done
Globalizing, what’s good for one’s for all
No compromising, the hesitant will fall
A fever’s rising
Denied by believers
and hesitant leaders
A fever’s rising
Climbing higher
A world on fire
Not my problem, got priorities
It’s “God’s Will”, what will be will be
I have the right, at the expense of every other
Too invasive, to save my brother’s mother
A fever’s rising
Denied by believers
and hesitant leaders
A fever’s rising
Climbing higher
A world on fire
A fever’s rising
A fever’s rising
A fever’s rising
Climbing, burning, world keeps turning

Like Thunder
04:13
|

Feel the rumble through the floor
The force behind the door
The blast of energy
Washing over me
Bring loud to life
And pierce the sky
Rain down your symphony
The ground is shaking
Earth is quaking
Rolling in like thunder
The sky is flashing
Mighty crashing
Rolling in like thunder
An adamant cascade
A pounding serenade
A crushing victory
It’s calling out to me
Bring loud to life
And pierce the sky
Rain down your symphony
The ground is shaking
Earth is quaking
Rolling in like thunder
The sky is flashing
Mighty crashing
Rolling in like thunder
In just moments from the strike
Before the thunder spikes
Riding out the waves
Slamming in my face
Bring loud to life
And pierce the sky
Rain down your symphony
The ground is shaking
Earth is quaking
Rolling in like thunder
The sky is flashing
Mighty crashing
Rolling in like thunder
The ground is shaking
Earth is quaking
Rolling in like thunder
The sky is flashing
Mighty crashing
Rolling in like thunder

Unbroken
04:02
|

Fantasies don’t go so far
Dead end road to superstar
Broken out before breaking in
Loyal colors steal away
Leaving hollow, only gray
All for one then none for all
Floodgates open, senses overload
Another day unbroken
Each home for us built to last
Unexpected comes to pass
Looking for another promised land
Hammered by tranquility
Distracted by variety
Losing sight, years slipping by
Floodgates open, senses overload
Another day unbroken
Silent screaming, frenzy of light
Still we stay unbroken
Agitation, frantic world
Every reason in a blur
Can’t separate, never breathe
Fear the empty, left alone
No more reasons, late to roam
The struggle still, the enemy inside
Floodgates open, senses overload
Another day unbroken
Silent screaming, frenzy of light
Still we stay unbroken
Floodgates open, senses overload
Another day unbroken
Silent screaming, frenzy of light
Still we stay unbroken

Monuments
03:53
|
|||
Once polished, once yet to be
A powder coated majesty
Risen from assembly lines
Hope and promise still aligned
Wake the idle
Monuments awake
Those days with a role
Strong, precise and ever bold
Tools assure our better world
Build your dreams today
Wake the idle
Monuments awake
Reclaim the idols
Monuments reclaimed
From days of confidence
They stand, forgotten monuments
From days of confidence
They stand, forgotten monuments
Now, entrenched in time
So much slides, in decline
Weeds and dust, a cloudy haze
Thinly veil your future days
Wake the idle
Monuments awake
Reclaim the idols
Monuments reclaimed
From days of confidence
They stand, forgotten monuments
From days of confidence
They stand, forgotten monuments
From days of confidence
They stand, forgotten monuments
From days of confidence
They stand, forgotten monuments
From days of confidence
They stand, forgotten monuments
From days of confidence
They stand, forgotten monuments
Days of confidence
Forgotten monuments
Days of confidence
Forgotten monuments
Days of confidence
Forgotten monuments
Days of confidence
Forgotten monuments

Snow Dogs
04:59
|

Sunlight seeping
Shadows creeping
Falling stars, passing out of mind
Forests waiting
Patience breaking
Perpetual, ancient emotion
Here come snow dogs
Racing like the wind
Fire in their eyes
Hear the snow dogs
Whisper from within
Forever in the wild
Moments chasing
Heartbeat racing
Every breath a distant memory
Quick decisions
Tunnel vision
A quiet falls, a pounding silent wall
Here come snow dogs
Racing like the wind
Fire in their eyes
Hear the snow dogs
Whisper from within
Forever in the wild
Remember
Cold winters
Your fire still burns
Gone farther
I’ll follow you
Drive grows stronger
Wander longer
Coming home, another day to roam
Here come snow dogs
Racing like the wind
Fire in their eyes
Hear the snow dogs
Whisper from within
Forever in the wild
Here come snow dogs
Racing like the wind
Fire in their eyes
Hear the snow dogs
Whisper from within
Always in the wild

On Wings
03:27
|

You are my quiet moments
Whispers in the night
My heartbeat, my starlight
My only firefly
Soaring, blinding silhouettes
Echoes fall from our ascent
Shadows gliding in our wake
A silent masquerade
On wings we fly away
Far away, chase the day
On wings we fly away
In dreams we stay
You are my windy seashore
Raindrops from the sky
Waves crashing, sands drifting
My only paradise
Soaring, blinding silhouettes
Echoes fall from our ascent
Shadows gliding in our wake
A silent masquerade
On wings we fly away
Far away, chase the day
On wings we fly away
In dreams we stay
You’re all my knowing glances
Hopeful silence, laughing eyes
You’re every sleepy Sunday
My only lullaby
Soaring, blinding silhouettes
Echoes fall from our ascent
Shadows gliding in our wake
A silent masquerade
On wings we fly away
Far away, chase the day
On wings we fly away
In dreams we stay
On wings we fly away
Far away, chase the day
On wings we fly away
In dreams we stay

Fire Fountains
04:14
|
|||
You owned each moment, built each fire
Fought your battles, never tired
Cut your path through thorns and vines
Each twist and turn you take
Each door you opened
Never waited for a sign
I’ve missed, I’ve stumbled
I’ve doubted and I’ve wondered
I’ve always dreamed along the way
Turned that corner in July
Saw the magic through your eyes
Fire fountains in the sky
Miles and miles and days passed by
Faced your doubts and always tried
Always tried to find your way
Every setback, each denial
Pushed you onwards still
Your desire only grew
I’ve missed, I’ve stumbled
I’ve doubted and I’ve wondered
I’ver always dreamed along the way
Turned that corner in July
Saw the magic through your eyes
Fire fountains in the sky
Walked for miles by your side
Sparks like fireflies so bright
Fire fountains in the night
Each timely transformation
Swift, no hesitation
Steady progress, step-by-step
Proved your power, day by day,
Patient through every delay
I believe in you, I believe
I’ve missed, I’ve stumbled
I’ve doubted and I’ve wondered
I’ve always dreamed along the way
Turned that corner in July
Saw the magic through your eyes
Fire fountains in the sky
Walked for miles by your side
Sparks like fireflies so bright
Fire fountains in the night
Fire fountains in the sky
Fire fountains in the night
Fire fountains in the sky
Fire fountains in your eyes

Elevation 500
03:30

Fabricate emergency
Crosswalks blocked with urgency
Daily aggravation in this concrete metal world
Detours and barricades
No square foot is safe to stay
Ever changing landscape, a path without a way
Tick tock and a thought replays
Another block and it falls away
Sparks, electricity
Rise up with the energy
Madness screams suddenly
A voice with false authority
Bleeding through the hazy layers, built up on the day
Pockets of humanity
Buried in insanity
Quietly awaiting rebirth from this decay
Tick tock and a thought replays
Another block and it falls away
Sparks, electricity
Rise up with the energy
(Hey) Elevation 500 (wo-oh-oh)
Lift me up, take me home
(Hey) Elevation 500 (wo-oh-oh)
Another day, mark my way
Clear my thoughts away
Muscles tense instinctively
Preparing possibilities
Knowing only isolation keeps the threat at bay
Tick tock and a thought replays
Another block and it falls away
Sparks, electricity
Rise up with the energy
(Hey) Elevation 500 (wo-oh-oh)
Lift me up, take me home
(Hey) Elevation 500 (wo-oh-oh)
Another day, mark my way
Clear my thoughts away

Scary Monsters
04:09
|
|||
Families come, families go
Where are they now? We don’t know…
I always need new friends to play
Go find Sue, you find Ben
Go alone then count to ten
I’ll find you all by end of day
Beware, we’re scary monsters
Imaginary? Not for you
Do you dare, we’re scary monsters
The cemetery comes for you
Jump her bones on the floor
Go ahead, ignore the door
I’ll just watch you scratch that itch
Dropped it down the kitchen sink?
Reach right in, don’t even think
I can’t help but flip that switch
Beware, we’re scary monsters
Imaginary? Not for you
Do you dare, we’re scary monsters
The cemetery comes for you
Knives and teeth and claws cut deep
Voices call you in your sleep
Power tools and damage reaped
It’s up to us your soul to keep
Climb on up the attic stairs
Surely there’s not something there
I am the evil that awaits
Hear her voice down in that well
Curious? Go straight to hell
See you at the cemetery gates
Beware, we’re scary monsters
Imaginary? Not for you
Do you dare, we’re scary monsters
The cemetery comes for you
Beware, we’re scary monsters
Knives and teeth and claws cut deep
Beware, we’re scary monsters
Voices call you in your sleep
Beware, we’re scary monsters
Power tools and damage reaped
Beware, we’re scary monsters
It’s up to us your soul to keep

Night
04:32
|

One drive, a certainty
A near emergency
In my head, sirens blare
What’s behind I cannot care
Night is coming
Calling me
Closing in, I cannot see
Comfort, shelter, never stay
Pressing forward, never stray
One path, one goal, in my soul
Go now, the day is old
Night is coming
Calling me
Closing in, I cannot see
Night is coming
It waits for me
Darkness falls all over me
Fire burns by my side
Fuels new life, a rising tide
Sweeping in, now’s the time
Step forward, walk the line
Night is coming
Calling me
Closing in, I cannot see
Night is coming
It waits for me
Darkness falls all over me
