Golden Glow

[Verse 1 – Female Voice (Vivienne)] Born in the dark, where the whispers run deep, Carved by fire, in the night we don’t sleep. Blades in the shadows, hearts made of steel, We guard the name—our fate is sealed. [Verse 2 – Male Voice (Zeke)] They call us ghosts, a family untamed, Bound by the blood that sings through our veins. No chains can hold us, no throne we obey, We carve our own path, we don’t fade away. [Chorus – Both Female and Male Voices] We rise, we fall, we stand through the storm, Scarlet bloodline, forever sworn. Through ashes and embers, through loss and through pain, We are the fire, unbroken, untamed. [Verse 3 – Female Voice (Evelyne)] Silent steps where the secrets unfold, A whisper, a shadow, a story untold. We move like phantoms, unseen in the night, Yet our presence is felt in the flickering light. [Bridge – Both Female and Male Voices] We were born into war, raised by the fight, Bound by the oath to protect with our might. No fear in our hearts, no doubts in our veins, Through crimson and silver, our name still remains. [Chorus – Both Female and Male Voices] We rise, we fall, we stand through the storm, Scarlet bloodline, forever sworn. Through ashes and embers, through loss and through pain, We are the fire, unbroken, untamed. [Outro – Female Voice (Celeste)] Even if shadows come, even if night sways, Our name will never fade away.

I'm struggling to see while my eyes close, I never thought I'd open them again, the thought of looking on without you, makes me want to stay blind, Somehow we grew apart but, I thought it was everlasting, And now I sit alone with a broken heart, Don't forget the way that you used to be, Sometimes love can cloud all you see, If you have to change then it's not to be, Saying goodbye is what sets you free

Verse 1 (Female Voice - Lucina): In the quiet of the night, I feel the pull, A distant memory that breaks me, makes me whole. The stars that once burned bright between us two, Now flicker out of reach, but I still chase you. Verse 2 (Male Voice - Lucien): Through the cracks of time, I hear your name, A voice that haunts my every step, calling through the flame. We were torn apart by fate’s cruel hand, Yet in the fragments, I still understand. Chorus (Both Female and Male Voices): Torn stars in the sky, but our hearts align, Bound by a thread that can never unwind. We reach for each other in the vast unknown, Torn apart, but we’re never alone. Verse 3 (Female Voice - Lucina): I carry your light in the shadows of my soul, Though the distance grows, I remain whole. I dream of the day when I’ll see you again, Where the stars no longer keep us in pain. Verse 4 (Male Voice - Lucien): I carry your spirit like a constant guide, Even when the world seems torn and wide. You’re the echo that I hear in the dark, The fire that still burns, even from afar. Chorus (Both Female and Male Voices): Torn stars in the sky, but our hearts align, Bound by a thread that can never unwind. We reach for each other in the vast unknown, Torn apart, but we’re never alone. Bridge (Female Voice - Lucina): I feel your presence, a whisper in the breeze, Though I can’t touch you, I still feel at ease. Bridge (Male Voice - Lucien): I feel you too, through every night and day, Even though you’re far, you never fade away. Chorus (Both Female and Male Voices): Torn stars in the sky, but our hearts align, Bound by a thread that can never unwind. We reach for each other in the vast unknown, Torn apart, but we’re never alone. Outro (Both Female and Male Voices): Torn stars, but together we remain, Our souls intertwined, despite the pain.

[Verse] Eyes half-closed he's wandering slow Through a haze where time won't go Leaning on clouds that don't exist He's chasing dreams on a smoky twist [Chorus] Stoner man he's got no plans Life rolls by in his steady hands Laughter spins like a vinyl groove He's lost in vibes nothing left to prove [Verse 2] He mumbles jokes to the setting sun Counting stars till night's begun His world is small but it feels so grand A universe born of grains of sand [Chorus] Stoner man he's got no plans Life rolls by in his steady hands Laughter spins like a vinyl groove He's lost in vibes nothing left to prove [Bridge] Guess he's high but he's rooted deep Wide awake in his half-dream sleep Falling upward on a crooked track Never looking forward never looking back [Verse 3] The smell of hash and burning wood He’d change the world if he only could But in his eyes the truth is clear Why wake up when heaven is here

Verse 1)
Lightning flashin', sky's a-cryin'
Wind's a-howlin', trees are tryin'
To hold on tight, but they're bendin' low
Folks said, "Stay inside, where you gotta go?" But I ain't listenin', radio's on loud
Got a bonfire burnin', right here in the cloud
Of downpour rain, and thunder's boom
This ain't no flood watch, this is a party in the gloom! (Chorus)
Yeah, the storm's a-ragin', but the spirit's high
We're drinkin' sweet tea 'neath a stormy sky
Got guitars strummin', and the bass is thumpin'
This ain't no weatherman, this is somethin'!
A little bit crazy, a whole lotta fun
Party in the storm, 'til the morning sun! (Verse 2)
Back porch is drippin', mud up to our knees
But we're dancin' barefoot, feeling the breeze
Of hurricane heart, and thunderous soul
Losin' all control, lettin' the good times roll Neighbor brought his banjo, Sarah's got her fiddle
This ain't no tragedy, just a country riddle
How to turn the bad news, upside down
And find some joy when the world is drownin' (Chorus)
Yeah, the storm's a-ragin', but the spirit's high
We're drinkin' sweet tea 'neath a stormy sky
Got guitars strummin', and the bass is thumpin'
This ain't no weatherman, this is somethin'!
A little bit crazy, a whole lotta fun
Party in the storm, 'til the morning sun! (Bridge)
Some might call us crazy, some might call us fools
But we're makin' memories, breakin' all the rules
Of staying safe and dry, inside the door
Tonight we're livin' loud, and lovin' more! (Guitar Solo - fast and energetic, with a southern rock feel) (Chorus)
Yeah, the storm's a-ragin', but the spirit's high
We're drinkin' sweet tea 'neath a stormy sky
Got guitars strummin', and the bass is thumpin'
This ain't no weatherman, this is somethin'!
A little bit crazy, a whole lotta fun
Party in the storm, 'til the morning sun! (Outro)
The morning sun, gonna shine again
But no one will forget, this storm we weathered then
Party in the storm, yeah, that's our claim to fame
Wash away the worry, and call out the rain!
Yeehaw!

[Verse] Raindrops falling like a broken beat Filling rivers where the bass lines meet Dreams unfold in the sound's embrace Weightless rhythms drift through space [Verse 2] Night awakes with a glowing hue Fading shadows paint the view Feel the waves of a tranquil sea Pulling my soul to serenity [Chorus] Sky of liquid dreams so high Floating softly through the cry Worlds collide in endless sway Take me where the echoes play [Verse 3] Heartbeats sync with the endless flow In the depth where the whispers grow Golden chords in the starlight's gleam Echoes wrap me in a fevered dream [Bridge] Spiraling up with the perfect sound Lost in air where no bounds are found A touch of light and a voice unknown This is the place I call my home [Chorus] Sky of liquid dreams so high Floating softly through the cry Worlds collide in endless sway Take me where the echoes play

threw a wish in the air, For a railroad to go so far, With Central Pacific on track, And Union Pacific never looking back. (Chorus) Hey, I just built a railroad, And this is crazy, But I worked all day, though, To make it maybe! It went from coast to coast, A land to explore, From Sacramento to Omaha, Oh, what a score! (Verse 2) Chinese boys with will and strength, Digging day and night, Irish too, on Union's line, Working hard, the stars align. (Chorus) Hey, I just built a railroad, And this is crazy, Six bucks a day, though, Not too hazy! With fifteen hours straight, Plenty sweat and strife, While the buffalo fled fast, It changed their life! (Bridge) The bosses led the charge, Stanford and others large, They made the fat stacks, While we trailed in their tracks. (Verse 3) Food was scarce, but we made do, Beans and bread, that's what we chew, With picks and shovels in our hands We'd tunnel through mountains and the lands. (Chorus) Hey, I just laid a railroad, And for some maybe, Cities sprouted up along the flow, To fortune, we say! The impacts so profound, For Natives taken off course, Oh, their lands were lost in greed, But progress forged the path. (Outro) From down below in the bay, Up to the place out in the clay, Transcontinental fates all changed, A history strangely situated! Hey, I just laid a railroad, And this is wilding! We slaved so hard for gold, That's the story, baby!

[Verse] The alarm clock sings its morning tune Rise and shine There’s work to do soon Look in the mirror Oh what a sight But today’s the day You’ll win the fight [Chorus] If you must Then do your best! (clap, clap) If you must Then do your best! (clap, clap) If you trust and never rest You will always pass the test If you must Then do your best! (clap, clap) [Verse 2] The day feels long and the road is tough Hills to climb And the weather’s rough But grit inside It starts to bloom There's no mountain you won’t consume [Chorus] If you must Then do your best! (clap, clap) If you must Then do your best! (clap, clap) If you trust and never rest You will always pass the test If you must Then do your best! (clap, clap) [Bridge] Doubt knocks loud at the aching door But you’ve been here a hundred times before Each misstep is a dance you’ve learned The flame of hope is deeply burned [Chorus] If you must Then do your best! (clap, clap) If you must Then do your best! (clap, clap) If you trust and never rest You will always pass the test If you must Then do your best! (clap, clap)

What were we? For time goes by, and we face the truth What we once held now slips from view The words we said don’t mean a thing Like promises we couldn’t bring Like promises we couldn’t bring The nights are long, and I’m cold inside I reach for you, but I lose the fight The love we had is now a ghost A faded memory I miss the most I walk these streets we used to roam Now it’s just me, and I’m so alone The laughter’s gone, replaced with fear I still hear it, but you’re not here I wonder if you ever still care Or if you’ve learned to breathe this air Do I still live inside your mind? Or am I just a shadow left behind? And I’m still walking down this road With pieces of my heart still in tow Time keeps moving, but love won’t fade It’s stuck inside the mess we made But the pain I feel won’t go away Cause you set fire to me every day This love we shared was once so real But I still can’t tell what we were meant to be [Chorus] What were we? What were we? I only hope that we will be But I know that time will slowly heal us So I pray that time will make us whole again We were something special, something true But I think we should have known when we Could barely speak to each another We were broken from the start.

[Intro] [guitar] [Verse 1] And we were together, forgetting the dawning day Suspended between yesterday and tomorrow, in an endless present And we were together, defying time Creating a world, our hearts as witnesses [acoustic guitar] [Verse 2] These walls are empty and dark, The water I drink threatens to intoxicate me Your scent revives my soul You who support me so we don’t fall, You who support me so we don’t fall [Chorus] And we were together, forgetting the dawning day Suspended between yesterday and tomorrow, in an endless present And we were together, defying time Creating a world, our hearts as witnesses [bridge] [tenor sax] [Verse 3] No matter the clock and its hungry hands No matter the world and its desperate calls In this fragile bubble we’ve woven together Eternity is measured in exchanged glances [Outro] And we were together, forgetting the dawning day Creators of a time that belongs only to us And we will be together when other dawns arrive You who support me so I don’t sink, You who support me so I don’t sink.
