Back in the day, we ran so wild, Young and reckless, hearts like fire. Late-night walks in hometown streets, Never thought time would move this fast on me. But here we stand, a little gray, Laugh lines show the price we paid. Through every turn, through every sin, Still got your back, still got that grin. Now we’re brothers in our 40s, still standing tall, We’ve seen some wins, we’ve had some falls. Life keeps changing, but one thing’s true, No matter what, I’ve got you. Built our lives, got scars to show, Lessons learned, still room to grow. Kids and work, responsibilities stack high, But some things money just can’t buy. Through the years, through thick and thin, We’ve lost some, but we still stand. No road too long, no dream too late, Still got time to celebrate. Now we’re brothers in our 40s, still standing tall, We’ve seen some wins, we’ve had some falls. Life keeps changing, but one thing’s true, No matter what, I’ve got you. (Love my brother) Tetotalers cannot raise a toast, To all the times we love the most. Here’s to the days still yet to come, Ain’t slowing down, we’re not done. (no need for booze to have fun) Brothers in our 40s, the story goes on, Still laughing, still strong. Through every high, through every low, Side by side, we’ll always go. (happy birthday to my bro) Move 43 should be on your playlist.

[Verse] The moon is sharp it cuts the dark Your voice a stain upon my heart The trees all whisper as I walk Broken strings and silent talks [Verse 2] The stars they shimmer but they lie Promises fade like clouds in the sky A shadow lingers full of pain Echoes screaming in the rain [Chorus] A melody I can't undo Every note it burns for you Ashes fall where we once stood Lost in a fire we misunderstood [Verse 3] These boots are heavy with regrets Treading paths we can't forget The river calls but I won’t dive It holds the secrets we tried to survive [Bridge] Your photograph it won’t stay still It battles time but bends its will The past finds holes to seep inside No place left in me to hide [Chorus] A melody I can't undo Every note it burns for you Ashes fall where we once stood Lost in a fire we misunderstood
[Verse] I still remember the way we laughed A fire in the night that burned so fast Now it's quiet you're not here Shadows creep in I fight the fear [Verse 2] The echoes linger like a haunting song Footsteps fade but the pain feels long Your light was my map My northern star Now I’m wandering Don’t know where you are [Chorus] I’m screaming out into the void A melody broken A love destroyed The world feels dimmer without your glow Lost in the silence I fear to show [Bridge] I trace the places where we used to stand Empty whispers slip right through my hand The clock just mocks me it won’t rewind A future without you is hard to find [Verse 3] I still feel the warmth of your fleeting smile A stolen second worth every mile The laughter’s a ghost The tears collide When we shattered A part of me died [Chorus] I’m screaming out into the void A melody broken A love destroyed The world feels dimmer without your glow Lost in the silence I fear to show
[Verse] Sunrise painted in the brown of your iris, Heartbeats drumming to melodies timeless. Dusty roads carry your scent in the breeze, Barefoot whispers, your love puts me at ease. [Chorus] Ubuhle bakho, shines brighter than the dawn, Your spirit's the rhythm every soul leans upon. A queen with a crown carved from whispers of rain, In your arms I find peace, release from the pain. [Verse 2] Gold chains mimic the warmth of your glow, Language of love only you seem to know. Kente wraps your laugh, woven with grace, My compass, your smile – it’s pointing my way. [Bridge] Even the baobab bows when you walk near, Harmonies rise just from hearing you appear. Rain dances envy how your hips sway, You make the stars question their own display. [Verse 3] Drums on the horizon, call to the tribe, Your heartbeat syncs, giving me life. Red earth beneath echoes stories we claim, Together we dance, two flames in one frame. [Chorus] Ubuhle bakho, shines brighter than the dawn, Your spirit's the rhythm every soul leans upon. A queen with a crown carved from whispers of rain, In your arms I find peace, release from the pain.
[Verse] Гаврюша вышел на простор Курицу съел он в тот же взор Жук летит Видал такой Гаврюша Парень непростой [Chorus] Эй Гаврюша Ты герой Песни эти про любовь Ты следишь за всем всегда Вот такая уж судьба [Verse 2] Жук парит Крыло блестит Гаврюша тихо в темноте сидит Фантазёр он просто класс Любит жизнь он так сейчас [Chorus] Эй Гаврюша Ты герой Песни эти про любовь Ты следишь за всем всегда Вот такая уж судьба [Bridge] Ветер гонит смело дым Смотри вперёд - ты молодым Любовь придёт - ты поймёшь Доброю песней всех спасёшь [Chorus] Эй Гаврюша Ты герой Песни эти про любовь Ты следишь за всем всегда Вот такая уж судьба
[Verse] Step into the circle no second to lose Armor of shadows or flames if you choose Knuckles are cracking the air’s getting thin The battle’s begun let the chaos begin [Verse 2] From neon arenas to pixel-lit skies Weapons of fury with fire in their eyes Blades in the darkness fists clenched like a stone The ring is electric you’re never alone [Chorus] Choose your fighter the stage is set Every move’s a gamble no time for regret Power surging ready for the clash Pick your destiny strike and smash [Verse 3] Code of honor or break every line Heroes and villains blur over time Heartbeats are weapons echoing loud The roar of the fight calls to the crowd [Bridge] Dodge the stars they throw from the air Each move like a dance in a wild warfare Pixelated dreams and digital fire Burn the world down take it higher [Chorus] Choose your fighter the stage is set Every move’s a gamble no time for regret Power surging ready for the clash Pick your destiny strike and smash
The Ballad of Pastor John (A Folk Song of Rise and Ruin) (Verse 1 – Slow & Solemn) Oh, gather ‘round and hear the tale, of Pastor John so bold, A preacher man with silver tongue, who turned his words to gold. He built a flock, he raised a shrine, he swore he’d lead the way, But oh, the sins that hide in light would drag his soul away. (Chorus – Catchy & Haunting) Ohhh, Pastor John, where’d you run? Your kingdom’s dust, your name’s undone. The law came knockin’, the truth came down, Now you're breathin’ deep in a border town. (Verse 2 – Midtempo, Driving Beat) He claimed the Lord had shown him signs, a vision pure and bright, But in the dark, he chased a high, a different kind of light. A sacred jar, a breath so foul, he called it holy grace, And one by one, his faithful bowed to seek that sweet embrace. (Chorus – Repeated, More Energy) Ohhh, Pastor John, where’d you run? Your kingdom’s dust, your name’s undone. The law came knockin’, the truth came down, Now you're breathin’ deep in a border town. (Bridge – Stripped Down, Reflective Tone) They dragged his name through fire and stone, The temple fell, he stood alone. No prayer could save, no gold could buy, So south he fled beneath the sky. (Verse 3 – Final Verse, Slow & Wistful) Now in the heat of Mexico, he sits with jar in hand, A fallen king, a faded man, just sippin’ on the sand. No hymns remain, no flock to kneel, just whispers on the breeze, A preacher lost, a lesson told, to bring the proud to their knees. (Final Chorus – Haunting & Drawn Out) Ohhh, Pastor John, where’d you run? Your kingdom’s dust, your time is done. The law came knockin’, the truth came down, Now you're breathin’ deep in a border town. (Outro – Fades into the night…)
[Verse] Corre el viento en mi dirección Llevo el mapa en el corazón La luna guía mi intuición Hoy no hay reglas ni condición [Verse 2] Las estrellas saltan al compás Kilómetros bailan sin envás Dejo atrás el ruido en su disfraz Soy la chispa que rompe el vidrio y más [Chorus] Vamos a viajar sin fin Ruedas giran hilos de mi spinning La vida es un loop sin freno ni fin Saltando entre luces mi alma en festín [Verse 3] No hay leyes en este trayecto Solo pasos marcados en el efecto De un ritmo rápido y perfecto Cuerpos libres caóticos en el reflejo [Bridge] Subo al cielo Pierdo el suelo El tiempo dejo tirado en el duelo Cada pulso en el pecho es un vuelo Sueños sin techo Escape de hielo [Chorus] Vamos a viajar sin fin Ruedas giran hilos de mi spinning La vida es un loop sin freno ni fin Saltando entre luces mi alma en festín
[Verse] Sigo el ritmo que me lleva al sol Un camino sin destino ni control Las estrellas guían nuestra misión Sin cadenas Solo pura conexión [Chorus] Viajemos lejos Sin mirar atrás El mundo gira Siente su compás Libres como el aire Somos fuego y paz Hoy es el día Todo cambiarás [Verse 2] Ruedan las luces en este lugar Nuestros pasos como ondas en el mar Cada latido nos invita a soñar No hay barrera que nos pueda parar [Chorus] Viajemos lejos Sin mirar atrás El mundo gira Siente su compás Libres como el aire Somos fuego y paz Hoy es el día Todo cambiarás [Bridge] Transita el tiempo en un destello Atrévete a buscar tu propio sello La libertad se encuentra en nuestro pecho Fluye la vida Vuela sin derecho [Chorus] Viajemos lejos Sin mirar atrás El mundo gira Siente su compás Libres como el aire Somos fuego y paz Hoy es el día Todo cambiarás
[Verse] There’s a candle in the storm's embrace Flickering bold yet it keeps its place Shadows twist but it dances free A blue flame burning endlessly [Verse 2] Winds howl sharp and the night is long But the flame hums its defiant song Ashes rise but they scatter away This blue-lit heart will never sway [Chorus] Oh burn brighter oh burn true Through the chaos the world threw No surrender no giving in A blue flame fights it's born to win [Verse 3] Underneath skies dark and cruel Standing tall breaking every rule It bends it leans but never falls A spark of hope when the darkness calls [Bridge] Even when the cold whispers loud Even when doubt gathers a crowd The flame won’t bow it won’t retreat A rebel’s light no defeat [Chorus] Oh burn brighter oh burn true Through the chaos the world threw No surrender no giving in A blue flame fights it's born to win
