Nobody asks to be born Nobody wishes to die Everybody whiles away the interim time Sworn to rise from the ruins by and by The engines are droning with progress The pistons are pounding out time And it's you and me caught in this juggernaut jaunt Left to rise from the ruins down the line We will roll like an old Chevrolet The road to ruin is something to see Hang on to the wheel For the highway to hell needs chauffers For the powers that be Go and tell all your friends and relations Go and say what ain't easy to say Go and give them some hope That we might rock this boat And rise from the ruins one day Ever try to carry water in a basket Ever try to carry fire in your hand Ever try to take on the weight of the everyday freight Till you find that you're too weak to stand Why so pale and wan, fond lover Why so downcast and desperately sad We can walk, we can talk We ain't yet pillars of salt And we will rise from the ruins while we can

There's a storm out on the horizon Blackin' out the day Hell and high water Come to take my world away I can hear the wind blow I can hear the screams and cries Slamming doors, running for cover Praying this rage goes by Now everything we've worked for It's gone in a moments glance I need something to believe I need a second change With injured souls and wounded hands We'll carry on, we'll struggle, we'll rebuild the land We've been knocked down... we'll get up From the ashes we rise We've been kicked around... sure enough We will survive We've been shot down... we'll get up From the ashes we rise Life is so hard... so just get tough We will survive I can see the ruins Of life that used to be Everything has been shot to Hell In this harsh reality Devastation all around us Blood is all I see But with strength, believe and our fellow men We'll meet our destiny With injured souls and wounded hands We'll carry on, we'll struggle, we'll rebuild the land We've been knocked down... we'll get up From the ashes we rise We've been kicked around... sure enough We will survive We've been shot down... we'll stand up From the ashes we rise Life is so hard... so just get tough We will survive Bring it on, bring it on, show what you got Bring it on, bring it on We've been knocked down... we'll get up From the ashes we rise We've been kicked around... sure enough We will survive We've been shot down... we'll stand up From the ashes we rise Life is so hard... so just get tough We will survive Bring it on, bring it on Bring it on, bring it on

We can choose the way of our future Try a brand new path If I change the world If I change the world Say goodbye to everyone who's stand against us No one has the power to stop the change that comes through music No you can't stop magic Close your eyes and you can see the future before you Every note I sing is bringin' you closer to your purpose Once you're there don't let go You wanna play a real game Unfurl the chain Melody strung out like we're walkin' on a tight rope Don't wanna try Don't wanna cry Wanna forget Just let me live inside a dreamland I wanna be free And let a brand new era dawn I know that we can Create a new world! We can choose the way of our future Try a brand new path If I change the world If I change the world This boundless music brings transformation Messages in songs reach even further This dream will come true I belive in you Say goodbye to everything that's weighing you down Transcend beyond reality to colorful worlds full of music We need to keep on rising Close your eyes and take my hand we're running together We don't have to live like this, I know we can all do better I sing for liberation You wanna play a real game Unfurl the chain Melody lighting up the path to new horizons Don't wanna try Don't wanna cry Wanna forget Just let me live inside a dreamland I wanna be free And let a brand new era dawn I know that we can Create a new world! We can choose the way of our future Try a brand new path If I change the world If I change the world This boundless music brings transformation Messages in songs reach even further Reach even further A new genesis! A new genesis!

I keep my ideals alive, they fuel my LIFE! What's going through? As soon as you fly high You can't deny the starlight, you love the contradiction shaking you Even when you fall take one step. (Ooh) You can breathe again in one step. (Ooh) It can be that easy in one step, and that's it! Another endless day fading into the night Oh it goes on, every day all the same like a game When I close my eyes, I feel alive, and maybe that's the reason why... I'm DREAMING! My mind rewinds But still this endless sky, it can't fill my heart. So let's BREAK FREE! Escaping the reach of the NIGHT! The FUTURE that we're looking towards loses Clarity, so we just look away for a MOMENT! And we see that we can be the HEROES straight out of our dreams! Ayy-ay Ayy-ay, oh ODD FUTURE Ayy-ay In this world you're gonna reap what you sow. Breaking free from the rust in your soul. Gotta rise from a dark history. But I fell for these lies, l believed That I could start again if I threw it all away. But that mistake could've sealed my fate. But now today I've opened up my eyes, and I feel so alive. What's goin' on? We've just begun everything you've left undone. You can't rewind the days but you can change your direction. What's goin' on? 'Cause I can see that no one else is quite like me A realm of possibility and so! My TEARS! They disappear, the meanings change, and they all fade. NEW DAYS! They're on the horizon so let's GO! Do YOUR BEST! Are you excited? The connections flow, coursing through my veins. So LET'S GO! The dark it won't dare hold us BACK! Ayy-ay, oh ODD FUTURE Ayy-ay I'm DREAMING! My mind rewinds But still this endless sky, it can't fill my heart. So let's BREAK FREE! Escaping the reach of the NIGHT! The FUTURE, that we're looking towards loses clarity. So we just look away for a MOMENT! And we see that we can be the HEROES straight out of our dreams! I keep my ideals alive They fuel my life and love and I Must've somehow lit a spark to feed that fire. I can see the path now, it's calling OUT!

Goodbye for now I thank you, loud from the bottom of my heart There is so much more than sadness, there's more than this grief And when I left I hope at best, I managed to convey That in time the pain will turn to warmth as we go separate ways I had always thought that what we had would last forever Within my mind I painted out our days together Calling out to your heart Like two light's in the dark To the fire in my soul, keep burning on When our fates align we will meet again, it'll be a journey set ablaze I keep having to let go of your hand for our future's sake I'll remember you everytime the light Shines upon a dream, I'll watch it come true Tears falling from my eyes, wishing to be strong for you There's resolve woven in my goodbye These memories, they capture me with nostalgia of the past Every ocean in this cruel world is filled with my tears Although I know the more I grow, the pain, it will too I don't want to lose anything again, the way I did with you If I gave into the darkness and the grief that's haunting me Would that end all the pain I feel and save what's remaining It's your words echoing All your wishes and dreams I will not forsake them I'll keep them safe, I swear Oh-ooh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, ooh-oh Oh-ooh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, ooh-oh Now it's crumbling into dust and I watch it fall It's our one and only (it's our one and only) irreplaceable dream Our whole world Reaching out my hand for that burning light Wanting nothing more than to hold it close It once shined so bright but it disappeared, leaving only hope More than happiness nothing can compare To the dream that you had left me to hold Now without looking back, taking my first step alone I'll only look ahead, walking forward on my own Keeping the flame within, my heart always burning bright Until I find that distant future Hey, yeah

Revealing their true hidden colors The masses form like an army of vengeful wights Some hearts are kind, foolishly living life Different names, but the same vain, worthless people Life's so unfair, expectations everywhere But out of reach, 'cause life taunts the talentless Treat equally both friend and enemy I truly believe that there is no place for me I wanna cry in the gaps of my dreams I'm holding out for an answer, please Won't someone ever reply to me? 'Cause I don't know what to believe We'll light up the darkness, we'll light up the darkness The curtain of night will lift, blessing us with a sign Face me and admit this loop is infinite This isn't the time for us to give life to lies Don't ever hold me back, don't ever hold me back My soul, it was born for more than anybody else in this city Was capable of more than just existing But now I can't imagine there's a future for a cursed man like me Fell again, but I intend to fight through all the pain till the end The world's been waiting for this final moment Ah, it feels so right to reclaim Though we break all the rules for the future we've wrongly obeyed Everything's so wrong, I need just a piece of some normality Can't speak, can't scream, the chaos is making me weak This abyss has got me tied up like a puppet in strings Heaven, hell, it's tempting Promise me that you will never throw away your life Against these hollow promises, you'll shine Won't someone ever reply to me? I'm crying, please 'Cause I'm still lost and I don't know what to believe Live true to virtue, live true to virtue My thoughts connecting with a crowd of uncertain sounds Reach for me a bit, this loop is infinite I hold out my hand to grasp what lies beyond I gotta pursue it, I gotta pursue it I wanna be stronger more than anybody else 'Cause I know that destiny will try to pull me under And I'm already falling deeper, sinking to the depths of darkest black How do I look from the outside This is who I have become, I I wanna laugh, but nothing's left I feel like a body rotting, useless I've decided I won't run away From all of the problems in my way The vision my mind's created's imaginary I wonder what lies beyond? We'll light up the darkness, we'll light up the darkness The curtain of night will lift, blessing us with a sign Face me and admit this loop is infinite This isn't the time for us to give life to lies Don't ever hold me back, don't ever hold me back My soul, it was born for more than anybody else in this city Was capable of more than just existing But now I can't imagine there's a future for a cursed man like me Fell again, but I intend to fight through all the pain till the end The world's been waiting for this final moment

Ready, set, go! We were racin' to the goal line Not long ago Even though There was so much we didn't know yet Crossing that line We saw that there would be No going back in time Even though There was so much we didn't know yet We're burning and fighting under the sun Yeah, my skin is glistening From sweat dripping down my face As time will pass, I believe There are many things that we may forget Everyone will become a silhouette But why do we pretend we don't care? All about the things that we hold so dear It's so when, it's hurtin' We can laugh through the tears So here we go The little things that I remember From our youth Above all, I recall We thought the world ours But, now I understand I see that destiny is far out of our hands And the clock can't be stopped These days keep rolling on We're fightin', and fightin', and fightin', but Time will always keep moving on Farther out of our reach Yeah, as time will pass I believe There are many things that we may forget Everyone will become a silhouette But why do we pretend we don't care? All about the things that we really fear? It's so when, it's hurtin' We can laugh through the tears So gracefully We're fluttering Like dancing leaves I will live my life I wanna be free from all the grief here In my memory And as time will pass I believe There are many things that we may forget But it seems That some things They'll never change And when I close my eyes it is you That I see cause you taught me this truth Never fade, never fade This silhouette Yeah, cherish everything that you love Hold them closer still in the years to come Don't let go Even though Time keeps going on One day soon, I hope we can mend What we left on that day and start again So, with you, one day soon We'll laugh through the tears So gracefully, we're fluttering Like dancing leaves Always dreaming, we'll be flying free
