(Verse 1) In die skadu van die eikebome, Waar die herinneringe stadig dans, Daar sit 'n leë stoel, die stilte roep, En ons harte hou 'n traan-invloedige kans. Ouma Blom, met 'n glimlag van die lig, Jou liefde is soos 'n warm sonneflank, Nou is die wyn en die blomme jou vir ons, Soos die sterre, jy skitter in ons dank. (Chorus) Ouma Blom, ons mis jou hier, In die stiltes klink jou lag nog steeds, Met elke slukkie wyn, Stuur ons goeie gedagtes, Jou kos, jou kunst, ons hartsnare se klank. Eendag weer, sal ons saam wees, Ouma Blom, jy's ons vreugde, ons hoop, ons fees. (Verse 2) Die kombuis, vol geure, jou hande so vaardig, Kook magie in elke bord en glas, Jou kwaste en doekies, die liefde wat jy gee, In elke kleur, weer en weer, so fassinerend. Jy speel met die lig, en die eie lewens, Jou kunstwerk, 'n erfenis wat bly, In ons harte is jy, met elke vlaag, Soos die blomme wat bloei onder die blou lug se sky. (Chorus) Ouma Blom, ons mis jou hier, In die stiltes klink jou lag nog steeds, Met elke slukkie wyn, Stuur ons goeie gedagtes, Jou kos, jou kunst, ons hartsnare se klank. Eendag weer, sal ons saam wees, Ouma Blom, jy's ons vreugde, ons hoop, ons fees. (Bridge) Die jare mag verloop, die seisoene draai, Maar jou gees sal altyd in ons bly, Met elke herinnering, so kosbaar en werklik, Verbind ons geliefdes met 'n liefde wat nie krimp. (Chorus) Ouma Blom, ons mis jou hier, In die stiltes klink jou lag nog steeds, Met elke slukkie wyn, Stuur ons goeie gedagtes, Jou kos, jou kunst, ons hartsnare se klank. Eendag weer, sal ons saam wees, Ouma Blom, jy's ons vreugde, ons hoop, ons fees. (Outro) Ouma Blom, tot ons weer ontmoet, In die tuin vol blomme, onder die maan se groet. Hier is 'n glas vol liefde, 'n hart vol herinnering, Jou nalatenskap is ons lieflike versiering.

**Title: Five Dollar Water** *(Verse 1)* In the heart of the hustle, where the city never sleeps, I wear my apron proudly, and the promise runs deep. I’m a senior chef with dreams, cooking up a storm, But today I’ve got a special, breaking from the norm. *(Chorus)* I sell water for five dollars, Pure, refreshing, a life’s dowsing balm, In a world of chaos, I bring the calm. So come on, take a sip, let your worries wash away, Five dollar water, it’s a brand new day. *(Verse 2)* Gourmet dishes, oh, they flow from my hands, But sometimes simple pleasures meet our deepest demands. So I take a moment, as the crowds chatter loud, Pouring crystal clear dreams for every seeker and crowd. *(Chorus)* I sell water for five dollars, Pure, refreshing, a life’s dowsing balm, In a world of chaos, I bring the calm. So come on, take a sip, let your worries wash away, Five dollar water, it’s a brand new day. *(Bridge)* Pour it high, pour it low, with love in every drop, It’s more than just a drink, it’s a little taste of hope. Through the laughter and the tears, I serve with all my art, Each sip is a reminder; we’re all a work of heart. *(Chorus)* I sell water for five dollars, Pure, refreshing, a life’s dowsing balm, In a world of chaos, I bring the calm. So come on, take a sip, let your worries wash away, Five dollar water, it’s a brand new day. *(Outro)* So raise your glass to life, let’s toast to what we find, In every drop of water, there’s a peace of mind. I’m a senior chef with dreams, and this is my way, Selling water for five dollars, come and share today.
The siren screams, and he’s out the door, Boots hit the ground as the engines roar. In a town so small, where help’s hard to find, He’s the first to show up, leaving nothing behind. With his boys watching close, he’s leading the way, Teaching them courage by living each day. It’s not just the fire he’s fighting to tame, It’s the man he’s shaping through the flames. When the fire bell rings, and the flames climb high, He’s a steady hand beneath a smoky sky. Risking it all for the lives at stake, He’s showing his boys the kind of men to make. It’s not the fear you feel but the strength you show, That’s the kind of man I want you to know. When the smoke clears out and the night’s gone still, He’s back at home on that porch up the hill. Telling his boys, “It’s not what you say, But the things you do that light the way.” With a handshake firm and a heart so true, He’s building a legacy in all that they do. From the firehouse bell to his family’s needs, He’s showing the world what it means to lead. When the fire bell rings, and the flames climb high, He’s a steady hand beneath a smoky sky. Risking it all for the lives at stake, He’s showing his boys the kind of men to make. It’s not the fear you feel but the strength you show, That’s the kind of man I want you to know.
[Verse] Cody and Blanca, ridin' side by side, Bikes and trucks, their hearts open wide. Underneath the open sky, southern breeze, Livin' life, feelin' free, and easy. [Verse 2] Cody revs the engine, Blanca rides in the back, Skies ablaze with the sunset's track. Through the fields, where memories unfold, Tales of love and laughter, born and told. [Chorus] Under the starlight, drinkin' beer, Cody whispers softly, "Blanca, come here." Hand in hand, the world is right, Love blooms strong in the Tennessee night. [Verse 3] Trump signs on fences, wave as they pass, On the long dirt roads, through miles of grass. Flags unfurl in the twilight's hue, Their love for the country, so pure and true. [Bridge] Crickets sing a sweet serenade, As they park by the creek in the soft glade. Cheers to the nights, where dreams collide, In Cody and Blanca's starlit ride. [Chorus] Under the starlight, drinkin' beer, Cody whispers softly, "Blanca, come here." Hand in hand, the world is right, Love blooms strong in the Tennessee night.

Cigarette ash on my guitar Ring in my pocket and a broken heart Wishing things worked out differently But tonight I'm turning up the whiskey Sorry I'm not a Rockstar Driving in that fancy car Maybe one day you'll know You not in my heart is never so They say if you love them gotta let them go But I'm holding on to this tattered rope Like a drive by trucker on the open road With these open containers whistling Skynard solos I say things I don't mean then I apologize, it's just testosterone and the look in your eyes The thought that I may never see that look again the thought you may say let's just be friends When I think of you I don't think of friends I think of long nights and legs that I don't want to end Dream of the smile dimples and the grin that makes my knees weak that make me want to sin They say if you love them gotta let them go But I'm holding on to this tattered rope Like a drive by trucker on this open road With these open containers whistling Skynard solos Whistling whistling Skynard solos Whistling whistling Skynard solos Fly high free curve Fly high watch out for that curb
[Verse] Travis got his old VW out back, Said, "Let's give this ride a brand new track." Cody, Bryan, Justin all gave a cheer, Grabbed the tools, and they pulled the car near. [Verse 2] First came the jacks, lifted her high, Blanca brought sweet tea and some apple pie. Ashley smiled, said, "You boys do it right, Soon you'll be cruisin' under the moonlight." [Chorus] Ridin' low with good ol' friends, Gonna make that beetle bend. Suspension high, then drop it down, We'll be the best show in town. [Verse 3] Cody in the corner, readin' the plan, "This ain't just any job, it's for the band." Bryan got the springs, Justin wired tight, Travis laughed, "We'll be sagging come the night." [Verse 4] Blanca's on her phone, capturing the scene, Ashley hums a tune, keeps the vibe serene. Sweat and oil, boys work till dawn, By the morning light, the Beetle's reborn. [Chorus] Ridin' low with good ol' friends, Gonna make that beetle bend. Suspension high, then drop it down, We'll be the best show in town.
Verse 1: The flames consumed the twilight sky, Smoke and ash rose far and high. At Emberfall, the last defense, Where death and courage made no pretense. The enemy surged, a crimson wave, Men stood strong, the brave, the grave. And in the storm, a figure remained, A silent blade where honor was claimed. Pre-Chorus: With spell and steel, he carved the night, A lone defender, the beacon light. Through chaos deep, his path was clear, A whisper strong when death drew near. Chorus: Stand at Emberfall, the final line, Where the Silent Blade met fate’s design. Through fire and blood, he held the ground, When all seemed lost, his strength was found. Verse 2: Enemies roared like a thunderous tide, Their numbers vast, their wrath untied. The Silent Blade stepped forth, his voice unspoken, The bonds of fear within him broken. His blade danced swift, his magic flew, Through shadow and flame, the tide he slew. With every strike, the line held fast, A hero forged where hope was cast. Pre-Chorus: With spell and steel, he carved the night, A lone defender, the beacon light. Through chaos deep, his path was clear, A whisper strong when death drew near. Chorus: Stand at Emberfall, the final line, Where the Silent Blade met fate’s design. Through fire and blood, he held the ground, When all seemed lost, his strength was found. Bridge: The captain’s cry, the storm’s command, “Hold the line! Together we’ll stand!” John roared loud, but the Silent Blade was still, A blade in the dark, unyielding will. Through endless waves, the enemy fell, A tale of defiance their legends tell. Chorus: Stand at Emberfall, the final line, Where the Silent Blade met fate’s design. Through fire and blood, he held the ground, When all seemed lost, his strength was found. Outro: And when the dawn broke through the haze, The field was scarred, yet filled with praise. For the Silent Blade stood, his duty clear, A silent hero, a legend near.

(Verse 1) The neon lights flicker, a cold sign of life, Crowds rushing past me, all chasing a price. But I’m just a shadow, lost in the glow, Looking for meaning in things I don’t own. (Pre-Chorus) And the aisles stretch on forever, Promises for sale. But the weight of all this plastic Feels like I’m doomed to fail. (Chorus) Empty shelves, empty heart, I’m breaking down in a parking lot. What I wanted, I don’t know, But it’s not here, it’s not here. All these things can’t fill the space, The cracks you left, they’re wide as grace. Empty shelves, empty hands, And I’m still searching for where I stand. (Verse 2) The carousel's spinning, but I’ve stepped aside, The world keeps on buying, and I can’t decide. Do I need more to hold me, or less to let go? The silence is heavy, and I’m all alone. (Pre-Chorus) And the sales can’t buy forgiveness, No discount for regret. Every shiny thing’s a mirror, Reflecting what’s unmet. (Chorus) Empty shelves, empty heart, I’m breaking down in a parking lot. What I wanted, I don’t know, But it’s not here, it’s not here. All these things can’t fill the space, The cracks you left, they’re wide as grace. Empty shelves, empty hands, And I’m still searching for where I stand. (Bridge) There’s a silence in the madness, Like a prayer I can’t repeat. I hear your voice in the echoes, In the rhythm of my feet. And I wonder if you’re out there, Chasing dreams that don’t exist. Did we both lose what we needed, While we clutched the fleeting bliss? (Outro) Empty shelves, empty skies, The stars are dim where the city lies. What I needed, I don’t know, But it’s not here, it’s not here. Empty shelves, empty me, A soul unfilled in a world of greed. And I’ll keep walking, through the night, Maybe one day, I’ll get it right.

[Verse] Blacksmith Rad with hammer in hand fightin' past ghosts Three hundred winters have left him hollow like old posts In a shadow realm he wandered with heavy boots made of lead Lost it all in burning embers life turned to gray and dread [Verse 2] Crazy King Crown with madness piercing eyes ruling gold City of Pywrite shining bright stories ancient yet untold Rad serves under Crown's chaos in the glimmering maze Memories haunt those dark corridors like a never-ending blaze [Chorus] Rad's heart beats in forgotten rhythms buried underneath Crown's laughter echoes madness within gold-shrouded grief Blacksmith forging remnants of a past that's long decayed In Pywrite's cold embrace lost dreams begin to fade [Verse 3] Once a fortress now a prison gleaming irons made of light Rad's chains rattle songs of yesteryears in the silent night Crown spins tales of riches while Rad dreams of days gone by In Pywrite's dazzling shimmer their souls bleakly cry [Chorus] Rad's heart beats in forgotten rhythms buried underneath Crown's laughter echoes madness within gold-shrouded grief Blacksmith forging remnants of a past that's long decayed In Pywrite's cold embrace lost dreams begin to fade [Verse 4] Sleepless nights in a city where all that glitters lies Rad and Crown's destinies entangled in shadowed ties The anvil rings of sorrow tales from ages long before Ghosts of Rad's lost world roaming endlessly evermore
Verse 1: On a ridge where shadows fell, The Silent Blade made his stand. A hundred foes with wrath did swell, But none could break his steady hand. No words he spoke, no cries of fear, His blade, his voice, sharp and clear. The line grew thin, the hope grew pale, Yet his resolve would never fail. Chorus: Stand tall, Silent Blade, unyielding and true, Through fire and steel, the battle’s hue. A hero forged in the storm’s embrace, The last to stand, the first to face. Verse 2: The enemy surged, relentless and wide, Yet the Silent Blade held the tide. With arcane might and a dancer’s grace, He cut through legions in a deadly chase. Behind him rallied the weary and torn, He gave them strength, a new hope born. No need for words, his actions shone, In that moment, he stood alone. Chorus: Stand tall, Silent Blade, unyielding and true, Through fire and steel, the battle’s hue. A hero forged in the storm’s embrace, The last to stand, the first to face. Bridge: The sky burned red, the earth did quake, Yet his stance no foe could break. A captain’s cry, the storm did call, Together they rose to defend them all. Through endless waves, through endless pain, The Silent Blade would not be slain. Final Chorus: Stand tall, Silent Blade, unyielding and true, Through fire and steel, the battle’s hue. A hero forged in the storm’s embrace, The last to stand, the first to face. Outro: And when the dust of war had cleared, His name was sung, his might revered. The Silent Blade, through time will stay, A beacon of hope, to light the way.
