Sleight of Hand - Brian Tyler

There's some stars in the sky Your sister's high, peaking on pills in the alleyway There's mad death in your eyes Warm light shudders in the glow of my heart And the kids with black eyes shine bright in the morning light Warm day in the sun It keeps me balling up my, balling up my Balling up my fists for someone Why do you always plead, keep me on my knees Keep running for the train But I guess I always worked better alone With my black eyes shining in the sunset Never give up There's some stars in your eyes The kids who shot Mikey are down low and telling their lies Well he died here with me But we're digging through his pockets Singing "no one's ever gonna be free" We're singing hallelujah, hallelujah I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm sorry, I'm sorry Are there stars The gods don't know about? If there are We'll be digging through their pockets Digging through their pockets till dawn Are there lights Lights that shine for pretty fools like you and me? We're singing hallelujah, hallelujah We're singing hallelujah, hallelujah We're singing hallelujah, hallelujah We're singing hallelujah

You and me, we really have eyes for miles Standing here, our feet go straight through the ground Your arms surround me, your gravity has found me Rise with me, we're gonna head straight to the top when I say And I'm feeling high Straight to the top (You have already contempted this place. My voice will be heard! For I am the living man) Wanted you to be the one! I don't know who to be, because I don't know if I can do it Take me Take me on! Wanted you to be the one I said, I don't know if I can do it Every time, I feel Like I could fail. we're going Straight to the top! Your hands have found me Like chains now they have bound me Your head in my heart I can't tell now from then, apart My eyes they see you Is it a dream or is that the real you? Rise with me Were gonna head... Straight to the top when I say Woah and I'm feeling High! Straight to the top (What use have I for a voice of ruin? I am not part of your corporate fiction For I am the living man!) Wanted you to be the one! I don't know who to be, because I don't know if I can do it Take me Take me on! Wanted you to be the one I said, I don't know if I can do it Every time, I feel Like I could fail. we're going Straight to the top! Wanted you to be the one! I don't know who to be, because I don't know if I can do it Take me Take me on! Wanted you to be the one I said, I don't know if I can do it Every time, I feel Like I could fail. we're going Straight to the top!

Hands of doom are reaching out to crush all infidels who stray Time to know the pain, but no time to run within And these hands you see before you will end the light of day Your ashes will be cast into the wind Your blood's upon the soil, your body fed to wolves Not one of you will be left alive Hear the sound pounding and the army of the night By the hammer of thor you now shall die Tonight we strike, there is thunder in the sky Together we'll fight, some of us will die We'll always remember that we made a stand And many will die by my hand We are high atop a mountain with hammers in the wind Lusting for blood and death again In a flash of lightning strike Now the house of death invites you, body and soul to come within I see the fear you have inside you can run but never hide I will hunt you down and tear you limb from limb Nothing shall remain not your memory, your name It will be as though you never, ever lived Tonight we strike, there is thunder in the sky Together we'll fight, some of us will die We'll always remember that we made a stand Many will die by my hand They will die... High atop a mountain with hammers in the wind Lusting for blood and death again In a flash of lightning strike Now the house of death invites you, body and soul to come within I see the fear you have inside you can run but never hide I will hunt you down and tear you limb from limb Nothing shall remain not your memory, your name It will be as though you never, ever lived Tonight we strike, there is thunder in the sky Together we'll fight, some of us will die But we'll always remember that we made a stand And many will die by my hand They will die, by my hand... they will die...

The child without a name grew up to be the hand To watch you, to shield you, or kill on demand The choice he'd made he could not comprehend His blood, a grim secret they had to command He's torn between his honor and the true love of his life He prayed for both but was denied So many dreams were broken And so much was sacrificed Was it worth the ones we loved And had to leave behind? So many years have past Who are the noble and the wise? Will all our sins be justified? The curse of his powers tormented his life Obeying the crown was a sinister price His soul was tortured by love and by pain He surely would flee, but the oath made him stay He's torn between his honor and the true love of his life He prayed for both but was denied So many dreams were broken And so much was sacrificed Was it worth the ones we loved And had to leave behind? So many years have past Who are the noble and the wise? Will all our sins be justified? Please forgive me for the sorrow For leaving you in fear For the dreams we had to silence That's all they'll ever be Still, I'll be the hand that serves you Though you'll not see that it is me So many, so many, so many dreams So many dreams were broken And so much was sacrificed Was it worth the ones we loved And had to leave behind? So many years have past Who are the noble and the wise? Will all our sins be justified?

In a small corner bar he sits there a'drinkin' Lost as a ball in a field full of corn Further away than he ever imagined That he'd ever end up from the place he was born Now no more forlorn has a Creeker drank whiskey Than the one that you see out the side of your eye Drinkin' alone as he looks out the window At all of the strangers on the corner outside And he'd rather be dead than alive one more minute In this Godforsaken town When he was a kid, Lord he'd never a'dreamt it All the ways that the city can bring a country boy down Now they knew not his name and he knew not their faces And he knew not the how nor the reason for why You could ever wake up and wanna keep on a'livin' In a place where a friend was such a hard thing to find And for e'ryone ya meet there's a whole mess of people Tryin' like hell to pull you on down To the level they're on and the trouble they're tendin' In the mess that they've made in the gutter they found And he'd rather be dead than alive one more minute In this Godforsaken town When he was a kid, Lord he'd never a'dreamt it All the ways that the city can bring a country boy down Some fellas do drugs and things of that nature Some fellas chase girls to hang on their arm Some fellas get by on practically nothin' Some fellas get pissed in a small corner bar And they'd rather be dead than alive one more minute In this Godforsaken town When they were all kids, Lord they'd never a'dreamt it All the ways that the city can bring a country boy down

Works the nightshift at the depot With a pistol and a light And he guards them rustin' missiles Countin' whitetail to pass the time And he's worked there for a long while Since he came home from overseas Helping Kilcorn, fight the good fight And bring Baghdad to it's knees And it was hotter than the mountain But it weren't so ya couldn't stand And it weren't so much the heatwave Nearly as much as all the sand Now his daddy he's a log man With a good leg and fake That he got off of a buddy And a shit shot that he made And he worked them hands to splinters And he raised them youngins right On a little bit of scripture And an acreage of paradise And he'd go out on a weekend And he'd play like Clarence White If Clarence had a real job And picked the guitar when there was time Keeps a trap line in the winter Keeps a line wet in the spring On a lock wall fishin' muskie With his eldest and Steve And they swapped tales about their raisin' And they tell the awfullest lies And they go home when they've a notion And the muskie quit to bitin'

When the sun is burning out And the night is pouring in Now is the time to run, run, boy Now is the time to hide There's nobody out on the beach There's nobody down in the woods We're gonna do it alone We're gonna do it outside And I can feel the air, it's sticking to our skin so tight And I can feel there's something special in this air Tonight, I really got it bad (I really got it bad) Tonight, I really got it bad (I really got it bad) Tonight, I really got it bad But it's still so good, so good that I got it at all And it was ravishing (ravishing) And I love to see the moonlight, see it shimmer down my dress It's so ravishing (ravishing) And the wind is like a finger tracing patterns on your chest You're so ravishing (ravishing, and I know) This is the season that we make our move (we make our move) This is the season we've got something to prove (this is the season) And this is the season I've got something to lose Oh, it's now or it's never, so now and forever We're ravishing, ravishing Oh, oh, oh, oh Ravishing, ravishing Oh, oh, oh, oh Ravishing, ravishing Oh, oh, oh, it's alright (alright) We'll be ravishing each other 'til the end of this endless night So right, so right, so right, so right If an angel broke his wings, would he come to you for parts? I need a couple of wings, boy, boy, I need a reason to soar If the devil lost his fire, could he count on you for sparks? There's something we ought to try now We ought to try it some More than anything I ever wanted was to see the light And there's a chance that we'll be glowing in the dark Tonight, I really got it bad (I really got it bad) Tonight, I really got it bad (I really got it bad) Tonight, I really got it bad But it still felt good, so good, just to get it at all And it's so ravishing (ravishing) And I can't believe the way the stars are shooting through your hair You're so ravishing (ravishing) And it's just my luck tonight I don't have anything to wear We're so ravishing (ravishing, and I know) This is the season that we make our move (we make our move) This is the season we've got something to prove (this is the season) This is the season I've got something to lose And all we ever really needed was Ravishing, ravishing Oh, oh, oh, oh Ravishing, ravishing Oh, oh, oh, oh Ravishing, ravishing Oh, oh, oh, it's alright We'll be ravishing each other 'til the end of this endless Ravishing each other 'til the end of this endless night So right, so right, so right, so right All right (Ravishing) (Ravishing) (Ravishing) (Ravishing)
